The wood creaks under our hesitant footfalls as we walk up the back door's steps. I cringe silently at the alerting noise but continue on, reaching the door finally. My hand pushes down on the handle as I shove open the door, Jayden and I standing in the doorway looking through the house.
"I don't like this it's too quiet." I hear Jayden mutter and I silently agree looking out into the sitting room and the dark hallway that led through the house. The silence that resonated in the house contrasted greatly to 20 minutes ago when people were yelling for help for their Alpha and me to come back. "I'm worried, my wrists hurt, I think it's from the mate bond." Jayden mentions as I look down at my wrists finally feeling the slight ache in them and my ankles.
"Come on, we have to find them." I say as we enter the house trying to shake off the disturbing feeling the walls emitted as we follow the scent of lavender which now also contained a woodsy smell, I'm guessing the smell of a witch.
We venture further until the smell is overwhelming leading us to the empty kitchen. I enhance my hearing finally hearing collective fast heartbeats. I nod my head towards the closed doors to the dining room as he nods his head in understanding.
I take a deep breath swallowing the fear trying to pull me away from here, trying to make me run far away, and I push open the door looking out across the room in obvious fear.
The dining hall that was once welcoming and comforting now gave off an eerie feel as pack members sat at every chair and table silently filling the room with their collective heartbeats, looking forward as if in a trance. None even flinched when Jayden let out a loud snarl directed at the main table at the end of the room.
There sat Catherine, Madison, Dean, Adam, and Killian wearing matching stony expressions as Olivia sat at the head of the table feet draped on it casually while a file was in her hand filing her nails. "Where the fuck did she get a nail file?" Jayden mutters towards me as I look at him in disbelief.
"That's what you decided to mention?" I whisper shouted in disbelief shaking my head, looking back up at the table to see Olivia already looking back at me with dark eyes and a lifeless smile.
"Everest and Jayden, welcome." She says smiling brightly as she stands. "Please have a seat. I want to get this evil monologue over with so I can kill you all." She stands from her chair positioning it and a chair across from Killian towards us.
"No thanks I'd rather not join whatever creepy ass party this is and just get to the point." I respond my eyes continuously drifting to Killian as he stays looking forward and I look at him in worry.
"I have a better idea." The doors to the kitchen slam open hitting the walls as wind blows through pushing us towards her as we stumble on the floor clawing at the ground trying to stop the hard strength of the air as it blows against the wood my shirt riding up scraping my skin against the floor, before our movements halt as we stop at her feet. Her eyes blaze in excitement as she looks down at us, "Sede." She utters as were lifted up and sat harshly on the chairs in front of us were about to get up before she grabs our wrists holding them against the arm rest, "Manere victum." She shouts as our wrists attach to the arm rest and our feet against the legs as it feels like my limbs are bound to the chair. I struggle against these invisible binds as the chair rattles under me. I feel my chair immediately move and am tucked into the head of the table and Jayden is moved by the unnatural wind to the left of me. He turns to Adam looking at him in worry, as I turn to Killian who was on my right to find Olivia behind him laying her forearms on the back of his chair resting her face on the palm of her hand and looking at me in excitement, as my hand itches to want to touch my mate.
"What's wrong with them?" I hear Jayden question as I rip my worried eyes away from Killian and towards him.
"I just told them to turn their mind off with a little compulsion magic, since they were getting too noisy and less complacent with my demands." She says shrugging in response as she curls her fingers through Killian's hair and my fingers grasp the wood under my hand tightly.
"Don't touch him." I grit out. She looks back at me with a slight smirk.
"Someone's jealous." She giggles out as her obvious amusement at this situation irritates me to no end.
"Can you wake them up?" Jayden questions desperately.
"I can, but I don't know if I want to." She pouts sitting herself on Killian's lap as I jolt up in anger shaking in my chair as I feel my teeth elongate shredding the inside of my mouth as I grit my teeth.
"Get off him, you witch bitch." I demand as she brushes her fingers over his jaw.
"Ever not helping!" Jayden whisper shouts as he turns back to her. "Don't you want to give us your evil monologue or something. Wake them up so you can have an audience to your tragic past and current plans." Jayden reasons.
She rubs his cheek pondering it over before she looks at me smiling. "Okie dokie." She says lifting herself off Killian and goes to the other end of the table. "I want everyone to know how their precious Luna ruined my whole life, the day she was born." I look at her in confusion as she slams her palms on the table, "Surgit." Immediately everyone at the table blinks and looks around shouting and rattling the table trying to get free of their invisible restraints. I look at Killian as he looks back up at me.
"Everest?" He questions shuffling in his chair as his hand strains reaching for me. I tune out everyones confused banter scooting my chair closer and closer till our fingertips touch feeling tingles erupt from the contact filling my arms. I attempt to scoot closer until I hear Olivia's overpowering voice.
"Shut up!" She yells as everyone silences around her, "Now everyone get nice and comfortable cause you're about to hear what led to your demise." She looks around everyone before landing on me. "And how Everest is the reason you met me and the reason why I'm going to kill all of you." Everyone immediately looks towards me looks varying from suspicion to shock.
What the fuck did I do?
