Runaway (Jackie's Story)

Chapter 13

I took a protective stance in front of my pack and Elaine. I narrowed my blue eyes and shifted into human form, "Why are you here? This is Nightshade territory. It doesn't belong to you." Dakota growled at my disrespect, but I didn't care. He left Elaine alone and pregnant with his kid. Dakota managed to look at Elaine, "Babygirl. I want you back. I'm so sorry.." I growled at Quil and Lariat and they both stood in front of Elaine covering her from Dakota's view. His green eyes snapped to mine, "Move." My hands balled into fists, "No." Dakota got in my face, "Move!" My muscles tensed, "No!" I heard Dalia whimper, but I didn't care. He hurt Elaine and left her for some other slut. He wasn't going to worm his way into her heart and tear it out. Again.

I started growling and I couldn't keep my mouth shut anymore, "Why are you back Dakota? You're obviously not wanted here. This isn't your pack anymore. We don't belong to you anymore. Elaine doesn't belong to you. Did your slut leave and you just couldn't bear the thought of being alone so you came crawling back to Elaine? Huh? Did she leave just like you left her-' The blow caught the right side of my face. I snorted, "was that supposed to hurt?" My eyes shone bright blue and I shifted into my wolf, [This isn't your territory Dakota. It's mine. So just leave!] Dakota snarled and shifted into his dark brown wolf. He was smaller than me, [Dont challenge me Jackie. This ain't your thing.] I laughed, [Ever since you left, I've gotten stronger to protect Elaine from the likes of you.]

Dakota lunged at me and I easily dodged it. He sailed past me and I turned grabbing his hind leg and slamming him on the ground, [I won't let you get even a yard from Elaine.] Dakota snarled, baring his fangs, [Step down Jackie.] I bared my fangs, [Listen here pup. I'm not about to be sat down and lectured, I'm one of the Lost Princesses. I'm an alpha queen. So either back down and leave or I'll banish you from this land. Choose Dakota.] He snarled, but stepped down. I looked at him, [Leave. You don't belong here anymore.] I turned my back and I heard surprised snarls and Elaine screamed.

I saw the blood before I felt the pain. My fur was getting a red tinge. I turned and saw a knife sticking out of my back, right next to my spine. Elaine met my eyes. [Im sorry about what's going to happen next.] I apologized. She looked away. I turned and started running towards him, the knife plunging in deeper. I leaped at him, my jaws closing around his throat. I snapped his neck and fell on top of him. I shifted back to human and I laughed, "w-whole new meaning to being backstabbed." Dalia ran to me, "Damn it Jackie. Always trying to be the brave one." I smirked, my eyelids getting heavy, "Well I have to be. Cause you're the baby." She growled, but she was smiling, and tears were running down her cheeks. I wiped one of her tears away, before surrendering to darkness.
