Can't Be Claimed (Being Revised)

This isn't fair

I woke up gasping for breath and looking around frantically, where the hell was Jarred. The burning sensation on my shoulder snapped my thoughts away from Jarred.

I reached up to touch it and winced. I got out of bed and ran out of my room. My head started to spin and my heart rate started increasing rapidly.

“Jarred?” I asked aloud as I leaned my head against the wall. My breath quickened and I had to close my eyes. Everything seemed to be moving which was only making my dizziness worse.

The door to the room flew open and Jarred stood there. He rushed to me and I flinched almost falling to the floor, but wrapped his arms around me catching me.  His gray eyes only showed concern.

“What's wrong Kass?” he asked.

“You tell me! Why did you bite me?” I asked as I grabbed him roughly by the collar.

“I marked you. I did it because we need to be connected. This way I'll know you're safe" he explained.

“We were connected enough! We aren't even dating and you just went and bit me”

“I did it to protect you” he said, willing me to understand.

“No you did it because you're a selfish jealous jerk!” I screamed as I tried to push him away. I looked down knowing it was useless. I just didn't want to look t him in the eyes, before I could barely control myself around him and now, the possibilities were endless.

“I know you're afraid of me, but I won't make you do anything you don't want to” he whispered as he stroked my chin. Jarred lifted my chin up to look at him.

His eyes were like endless pools of gray mist, I felt lost, but complete and that's all that mattered at this moment. I looked down at his lips and all I wanted to do was kiss them. I leaned forward and he met me halfway.

The kiss was slow and electric. I felt heat running through me, my senses came to life. It was as if a zombie my whole life I and he was giving me life with his kiss. I couldn't breath, this felt so right and so perfect.

I pulled back gasping for air. My lips felt swollen and I felt like I was on cloud 9.

“I love you” I said through breaths.

“I love you too, baby” he replied. “But I have to tell you something.” he said.

I looked up into his eyes and I knew that I would never be happy with anyone else except for him. I was going to say yes to his marriage proposal, but I just couldn't right now I was still too young.

“It's about Cameron. He was captured” he said looking down. I gasped. Cameron? My best friend? No that wasn't possible, how could it be?

“How?” I asked as tears filled my eyes.

“It was Phillip” he said through gritted teeth. “That's why I marked you. I have to know where you are at all times, because I can't risk losing you too.” he said as he held me tighter.

“Me too? Who have we lost?”

“No one yet, but no one is going in after Cameron, it's too risky.” he said as his eyes looked everywhere, but met mine.

“But you went after me and I was only human?” I asked pleading him to understand.

“But you're my mate-” he began.

“Ya and he's my best friend! Don't give me that excuse. He's a werewolf and they'll kill him. He went after you when you risked yourself to save me!” I said.

“We had bigger numbers and after talking to Hector, he thinks we should wait.” he said.

“We can't the longer we wait the more they could do to him” I said through tears.

“I know baby. I'll try again. Get dressed and I'll take you out to eat.” he said as he pushed me towards my room.

I didn't know how to feel. One minute I was angry and the next I was happy and now sad because of the possibility my best friend could die. This life was crazy and I couldn't take it, I had to help Cameron one way or another.

I got some jeans and a shirt while I brushed through my hair. My phone rang and I turned to find it. The caller ID said it was Cameron, but...

I answered, “Hello?” I asked.

“Kass don't do anything they say I'll be okay-” Cameron's voice cracked as it was cut off by a hard slap.

I started to cry, “Please don't hurt him, please” I begged as tears ran down my face.

“Listen here girly, I won't hurt your friend too badly. I'll return him to you, but you have to do something. Get me the whereabouts of the Jarred's pack. Oh and stab the alpha with a silver blade” a raspy deep voice that sounded strangely like Phillip's ordered.

“Phillip please, don't hurt Cameron take me instead.” I begged as tears flowed down my face.

“Do as I say and I won't kill him, don't and he'll be tortured to no end” he said laughing.

“I can't...” I sobbed.

“I'll make sure to let him know” he said as he chuckled. The lone went dead and I sunk to the floor crying.

The door opened and Jarred walked in. I don't know how I knew that, but I knew it was him.

“What happened?” he asked as he knelt beside me.

“He called me...he wants me to...” I couldn’t' finish my sentence because I couldn't hold back the tears.

Jarred held me close and kissed the top of my head softly. I hugged him back tightly. I needed someone to comfort me because my best friend was in the enemy's possession and I couldnt save him.
