A guard dressed fully in black approaches where I'm curled up into a ball. He looks me up and down and gives me a un-approving look.
"Miss, I'm here to take you to your room." He says in a gruff voice. Without waiting for me to get up he starts walking away. I scramble up and stumble behind him, going in the opposite direction to the cage I was in. Where Peter and Charlie were...
The guard took me up some stairs and into a spacious room. I stare, speechless at the beautifully adorned room "This is it." The guard confirms, in the same emotion-less voice as before.
"Thank you..." I trail off. As I turning to close the door over I notice the guard's already half way down the stairs. I chuckle to myself. The room is absolutely beautiful; pale blue walls and a creamy white carpet. The massive queen-sized bed with pale blue covers and pastel pink cushions... it's perfect. I walk towards one of the two doors along the wall and open up a massive closet with hundreds of beautiful dresses, shoes, tops, jeans, lingerie. I step out, worried my eyes might be stuck wide open. I open the other door to reveal a pearly white bathroom with a double bath and his-and-hers sinks. It's all so beautiful! I walk over to the bed and sit on it. The soft mattress feels amazing compared to the hard floors I've been sleeping on for the past 3 years. I think back to the events of only a few minutes ago... The pack member that saw me seemed so nice, offering me somewhere to hide. I was gullible to think anyone in this pack would go against their alpha. When he told me his name I realised who he was. The alpha of Blue Mark pack - Jasper Davison. The Beta that led an uprising against the ex-alpha Casey Mc Dermot. Who had no loyalty.

There's a small knock at the door. I slowly make my way over to it and crack the door open slightly
"Hello?"
"Clara." Jasper. I open the door, if I shut it he probably would have just broken it down.
"What do you want?" I ask, heading back to my seat on the bed
"How do you like your new room?"
"Better than I liked my last one" I reply, bluntly. He doesn't deserve me being polite.
"I'm sorry." He pleads
"You can show me how much." I turn to look at him, his eyes eager. God, this guy is so bipolar. "You can let my friends go."
"Already done." I look at him, trying to decide if he's lying.
"Prove it." I test, but just as the words leave my mouth Peter and Charlie - bruised as they were - turned round the corner and walked in. I ran towards them smiling and jump into their open arms "Your alright!" I smile into their shoulders
"Yep, kiddo." Peter says, smiling even though I could see pain in his eyes
"We're gonna miss you Clar" Charlie said, using my nickname
"You're going?" My brow furrows
"Well, we're not going to stay here... But you do. He's your mate, Clar." Charlie says, rubbing my shoulder.
"I know but-"
"No buts. Just remember, we love you. You know how to find us." Peter continues as my eyes fill with tears
"Bye, Clar." Charlie adds, wiping his cheek of tears
"Bye Char, bye Peter... I'll miss you" Peter leans in and kisses my cheek earning him a growl from behind us
"Bye Clara." Peter calls as they walk out the door. I turn to Jasper
"Promise me." My voice cracks "Promise me they'll be safe"
"I promise." Jasper nods. "I can tell they mean a lot to you."
"They're my family."
"I'm your family now." He says standing up to embrace me, but I pull away
"I don't know you, you kidnapped me, tortured my friends. I will never call you my family." I turn away. Jasper doesn't say anything else, he just walks out. Slamming the door as he leaves. I breathe a massive sigh of relief. The tension when he was in the room was thick and uncomfortable; I'm not ready yet to forgive him for what he's done. We're mates, we will reconcile in time but our bond can't perform miracles. And I know Jasper knows that too, he will just have to be patient and then maybe - just maybe - I can change him. Maybe there's still hope for the 'heartless' alpha. He proved today - when he saved me from his Beta - he does have a heart, however small it is.
---I wake up to light streaming in through the window. That was the best nights sleep I've had in a while. Stretching out across the bed I hit something with my foot. 'That's strange' I think to myself 'The bed's massive, that can't be the end of it. I look down to where my foot was and saw a leg. The leg was attached to the most attractive man you could ever wake up to in the morning. Jasper. I daren't tell him that, he doesn't need to feed his ego anymore, his persona is the definition of egotistical.
"Oh. Sorry, good morning Clara." He says, noticing me staring at him questioningly
"Why?" Now it's his turn to look puzzled
"Why is it a good morning?"
"No. Why are you on my bed?"
"Oh. I couldn't sleep." He said, rubbing the nape of his neck
"Did I not make it clear last night? I don't really want to see you right now... I need to be alone to think this - us - over." I say. It's harsh, I know, but it's true. I need time. It's not like he didn't kidnap me and my friends and marked me against my will.
"Come on." He pleaded "I don't know how many times I can tell you I'm sorry!"
"Sorry doesn't fix everything, you know. I need time, apologising to me ever two minutes is not giving me the space I need to find it within me to forgive you." He looks at me, taken aback. I'm probably the first person in a while that's stood up to him. He gets up and leaves. Just before he shuts the door he adds
"A girl, Emily, she will come by later to make sure your okay. Hopefully you can be nicer to her than you were to me." And with that he shuts the door.
