Runaway Trapped

Chapter 17

Unknown POV

I watch as her bright Violet eyes fill with fear widening as she starts to tremble.

Yea that's right baby. I'm here to take back what is mine.

Licking my lips I take in her appearance. Black running shorts hugging her creamy tan thighs with her toned stomach showing.

A green sports bra hugging her chest matching her green running shoes. That's is all mine. Mine mine mine!

Violet's POV

Grabbing the rose with my shaking hand I study it. Then I crush it the vines piercing my skin but all I concentrate on is my fear.

My knees wobble and my vision just clouds over. I don't know what I'm looking at it's all blurry. Dropping I feel Derek grab me holding me against his chest try to steady me.

He tries to get me to open my hand but all I do is squeeze more. Leaning my head back against his shoulder behind me I try to breathe.

His voice clouds my head. I shake my head trying to shake it out. Clamping my fisted hand still containing the rose and my other open hand around my ears I yell.

"Shut up! Get out my head!" I cry in desperation shaking my head slightly.

Soon his voice quiets and I let my hands drop to my sides. My vision comes back and Derek looks at me in agony.

I can't tell him I'm alright because I'm not. Who's voice was that? It's familiar I know it! I can't pin point it.

Derek lifts me up carrying me into the kitchen. He sets me on the counter top getting a warm wet cloth.

I open my hand letting go of the rose as it falls to the ground crumpled. A little puddle of blood forms around my hand. He dabs at it pulling out the thorns quickly.

Sitting there I stare out the kitchen window into the woods. Didn't I shut those last night? Scanning the woods my eyes lock with a dark figures.

He wanted me to find him. I gasp my heart pounded into my chest as I feel my breathing already become uneven.

"D- d- Derek! " I cry out pointing the figure. The figure points back at me and then steps behind the tree disappearing.

"I know it hurts V-" he starts to say, but I cut him off.

"He's in the woods!" I yell. He looks up at me then at the woods bolting for the door.

Jake comes in and watches over me calming me. Wait... Jake?

"I um I didn't know you were a werewolf." I tell him looking away from the window.

He smiles sadly at me nodding.

"Yea I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I'm third in command." He tells me picking me up. I curl into his arms hiding my face in his neck as he carries me upstairs to my room.

Once there he gently sets me down on the bed going to the tv to put on a movie. I hold out my hand watching the light shake in it.

I take deep breaths pulling my hand back to my side. Jake hands me one of Derek's shirts and I slip it on then getting under the covers.

Jake then joins me rubbing my back as we watch the movie. I'm not concentrating on it much since my mind seems to wander to Derek.

When will he come back? My wolf is restless wanting her mate at her side.

Hold on.... Mate? I just thought of Derek as my mate. I mean he's not like other people. True mates are not meant to be in my eyes.

Derek is different and isn't like my real mate. He never laid a hand on me and gave me nothing but the best. My real mate wouldn't treat me this way right?

Shaking off the subject I start to get drowsy. Jakes hand rubbing up and down my back as he plays with my hair soothes me. Letting out one last sigh I fall asleep in jake's arms.

Derek's POV

I bolt through the forest.

Hey! Check the borders!! Everyone there's an intruder on the land. Assemble our best fighters and hunters! I roar through the mind linking sniffing the unknown scent more as I keep tracking it.

Soon men run at my sides as we chase the scent. We continue running through the property for another hour.

Nearing the edge of the territory I speed up. I need to catch him he can't cause my baby, my mate any harm. My step falters. I just said that.

I keep runninng and cuss as we reach the end of the territory with no sign of him.

"Fuck!" I curse to myself as I claw at the nearest tree. Shifting back to human form I shake my head.

This guy is smart. He wants her and no way in hell is he going to get her. My brother comes up to me patting my shoulder.

"Come let's go talk at the pack house." He tells me and I nod my head. The sun is at it's brightest at the moment. Letting the sun soak into my skin I shift back and run for the pack house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sighing I walk through the dark forest back home. It's late and the whole time at the pack house was just a waste. We got nowhere.

All we have is a scent and a letter. They suggested questioning Violet. I denied that shit quick.

No way am I going to let them pry my baby girl open. She's been through enough and all I wanted was the best for her.

Now look at where she is. She's terrified again. Why does this always happen to her? I would do anything to take the pain away.

He's been restless lately. Especially with the new danger. I do also want to claim what is mine again. Violet is just going through too much stress I don't want to seem insensitive.

Finally making it back to the house I unlock the door coming in. I turn off all the lights except the kitchen just in case V needs water later.

Walking up the stairs quietly I make it to our room. Opening the door I chuckle at the sight I see. Jake lays perfectly normal on his back an arm on her back while Violet lays sprawled across him.

Her arms locked around his waist sleeping peacefully on top of jake on her stomach. I can't help but feel jealous but the sight was hilarious. Snapping a quick picture I walk over then shake jake away.

He also laughs once finding V laying across him. Jake's eyes light up with happiness and I can see why. He doesn't have any family. V is really the sister he never had.

Sighing he gets out of her hold and gets up. Doing a quick bro hug jake then leaves. I take off my shoes sliding off my socks and getting into bed.

Violet immediately cuddles against me. She feels really warm... This isn't good. Getting up i turn on the light and turn around.

I freeze holy shit she smells soo good. My wolf starts howling barking .

Violet's eyes burst open and she screams out in agony......

She's in heat.
