Forced Love

Chapter 21

I calmed for a while. It was midnight now and the moon shone in through my window. It was full and I heard the howling of wolves outside. I sighed heavily. One of them had to be Josh. Or was he still in the house? Finally his thoughts echoed inside my ears.

I growled lowly at him. "You're not touching her!" I yelled. He smiled and I was fully alert now.

"You did this to her not us now she cannot live any longer!" He exclaimed showing his teeth.

"I can't let you!" I said trying to contain my anger. They wouldn't touch her as long as I was here.

"Why? You took her and tried to kill her a few times in the past 3 weeks."

I swallowed hard. He was right, but I hadn't meant to she knew that. "I love her." I whispered and he stared.

"I couldn't hear you Josh." He said smiling.

"I LOVE HER!" I screamed loudly.

"That's why her life must end and that's why she must be free from you." He sighed heavily as I stared at him. "You are a danger to her Josh, you know that. So just let us kill her for you." He began to walk to the house when I stepped in front of him.

"I will not allow you to do this." I said softly.

Then his thoughts stopped. I wondered about what was happening. What did he do to the man he was talking to. I heard a howl outside and jumped as the pain came back. I winced and turned so that they wouldn't hurt as much. It didn't work though. I covered my mouth with my hand before I could scream. I calmed down and removed my hand for a moment.

Suddenly the scream came out of nowhere and I covered my mouth quickly though it echoed through the house. I winced as it rang in my ears. God Dammit. I thought and the pain got worse. This was the first time that it had gotten this bad. Why did it hurt so much? I heard the front door open and slam shut as angry sighs erupted. I heard a few glass things hit the floor shattering. I covered my ears in pain. Every sound that erupted in the house made me flinch in pain.

I shook in the cold room. I heard footsteps come towards the door. The door unlocked and the pain went away. Why did it suddenly go away when he was near? He walked in and put a hand on my shoulder. I hadn't realized that my eyes were closed making it look like I was sleeping. He sighed heavily and I felt a tear hit my neck. He kissed my forehead gently.

"I'm so sorry. Please forgive me Adrienne." He whispered before walking out. I wanted to beg him not to go. Right as he locked the door and his footsteps faded away the pain came back. I thrashed in the bed in pain. Tears once again streaking my face.

I couldn't bare this pain anymore it was slowly killing me. If I died then I would never get to see Josh again.
