The Last One: Chapter 16

Chapter 16:

A month.

I've been locked up for a month in this room. I pace the back and forth for hours on end, trying to find a way to control myself. I know Xavier and Klayton check on me numerous times a day, but I can't be around anybody. The room is completely frozen over with sharp icicles hanging off the ceiling and walls. The fire doesn't seem to be a big problem, until I get irritated - then it's a huge problem.

The other day a fire started in the middle of the floor, but I got it under control. The door was frozen over, so nobody could get in, not even Xavier. My heart hurt so much when I thought about him. He spends hours sitting on the floor, back against the door. I know he's hurting, but I can't risk him getting hurt, or anybody else.

I slid down to the floor, exhausted. I've been trying to control it, but I just can't. I wanted to get away from all of this, but I was trapped. I sensed Klayton before he spoke. "Jezebelle, please. I can help you, I know how to get this under control. You can't lock yourself away from everybody, especially Xavier - not anymore. He's not doing good." I stood up, trying to get myself under control. "You're hurting him, physically. Don't you want help? Don't you want this to stop?" I flung a burst of ice at the door, pacing and running my hands through my hair.

"Stop! Please, I know what I'm doing, but if I don't do this then I'll only be doing worse. Just...go away!" I said, desperate for him to stop. A fire started in the corner and the icicles grew sharper and longer. I growled loudly, the fire growing larger. "Jezebelle?" I heard the painfully familiar, spine tingling, deep voice of Xavier. I threw another blast of ice at the door, making a slight crack and sharp icicles grew around it. "Go away! Please!" I yelled. After a few minutes I leaned against the door, resting my head against it. "Listen to me. Calm down, everything is going to be okay. You can make it through this, I know you can. I don't have a doubt about it, but please don't lock me out. It's killing me, angel. I hate being away from you." I cried, crumpling to the floor. Icicles formed around me and the fire died.

"I love you, more than this whole world, more than anything. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I can't live with you being locked away from me, and knowing that you're fighting yourself and hurting. I want to help, but I need you to help me by letting me in." He said, his voice shaking and I knew he was crying. I knew he was hurting. My wolf howled in pain, the bond was as weak as it was when we first met. I knew I couldn't live like this.

I balled, sobbing and shaking. I tucked my legs to my chest and stayed that way. I looked around and the ice started to disappear. I saw that the ice around the door was almost completely gone. For a few moments, I was thinking about Xavier and not thinking about controlling this. I looked around and the ice started forming again. I got up and ignored it, clearing my mind. I touched the doorknob and it didn't frost over. I unlocked the door and opened it. Xavier was standing there, shock and pain written all over his perfect face. He was as perfect as I remember. He grabbed me and slammed me against his rock hard chest. I wrapped my arms around his waist, hugging him tightly. I inhaled his scent, melting into his strong arms.

"I missed you, so much." He mumbled into my hair. I held him tightly, not wanting to let go. "I missed you, too." He pulled away and rested his hands on my hips. I looked into his dark eyes, my heart skipped a beat at how much love and want they held. His eyes flicked down to my lips and he smashed his lips against mine. I tangled my fingers into his smooth, dark hair. I kissed him back instantly. He kissed me with a fiery passion, lustfully and heatedly. I kissed him back with the same passion.

He pressed me against the wall, his fingers digging into my skin. I started feeling lightheaded and we broke apart, panting heavily. He rested his forehead against mine, a dark, crooked smile on his perfect face. I put my hands on his broad, muscled shoulders. I smiled, looking down at his perfect lips again. He kissed the tip of my nose, making me giggle. "I love you," he said deeply. I beamed happily. "I love you more," I tucked my head underneath his chin, running my hands up and down his chest and rock hard abs. He growled deeply, his chest vibrating. "Keep doing that and I might have to give you a very special surprise, princess." He said and I pulled away slightly to look up at him. I rested my hands lower and gave a devious smirk. "Oh, really? And what would that be, Mr. Alpha?" I purred. He groaned and I shivered in pure pleasure.
