The Last One

The Last One: Chapter 17

Chapter 17:

I think they gave up on me. I never hear or smell them at the door anymore. For weeks, I've tried to control this, but it's impossible. I can't. I tell myself to ignore the feeling, to not feel, but it never works. Its gotten worse now, no matter how hard I try it just gets worse. I'm so scared. I know I shouldn't lock everybody out, but I don't want to hurt anybody.

I growl in frustration as the sharp icicles around the room grow. I pace, pressed my palms against my temples. "Don't feel, don't feel." The icicles grew more and more. I shake my head. "Goddamn it, don't feel!" I roared, shooting ice from my hands. I looked outside and the sky was covered in dark clouds and the wind was howling. I growled. This was all my fault. My fire was under control, but the ice was a whole other story.

I saw the wind pick up and rain poured down. I saw a patrol run out from the cover of trees, trying to run against the wind and rain. I saw Klayton run out from the back door and help them in. I growled again. This wasn't fair!

I can't control anything anymore, not even my own feelings.

I opened the window and looked around the room. I needed to run. I put one leg over the edge and straddled the window sill. A fierce wind whipped my hood off my head. I brought my other leg over and jumped, landing perfectly.

The rain poured down heavily and I put my hood back up. I ran into the trees, stripped down, and shifted. I shook out my fur and the wind blew. Dark clouds swirled above me. I bolted off, digging my claws into the cold ground underneath me.

The rain stung my face, but I needed to run. I froze when I broke through the tree line and slammed into a huge white wolf. I stood up, shaking my fur out. I knew it was Klayton and ran the other way. I had to get back to the room. "Jezebelle, stop!" I heard him yell, but I didn't listen. Just before I got to the tree line, he tackled me to the ground.

I growled loudly, the wind blowing furiously and snow, hail, and rain poured down on us. He got off me and I stood up. I shifted behind a tree, finding my clothes and slipping them back on. "You don't have to hide anymore, Jezebelle. You aren't going to hurt anybody." Klayton said over the wind, bringing his arm up to shield his face from the harsh weather. I put my hood up. "Yes, I do. I'm a monster, I can't control what I do!" I yelled. "No, but being with your mate can help! You're in pain and can't stop thinking about how much of a monster you are, even though you aren't! Xavier can help you!" The mention of his name was a sting to my heart.

"How? What good will he do?! How can he stop this?!" I yelled, pain obvious in my voice. "He can show you that you aren't a monster, that you can learn to control this!" Klayton stumbled, but caught his footing. I shook my head, stumbling. "No...no, he can't! I can't!" I screamed, falling to the ground. The storm got worse as I cried. I felt arms wrap around me and I was covered in warmth and shocks went through my body, telling me who was holding me. I felt his warm, minty breath on my neck. "You can, Jezebelle Rosehart. You have a heart like your mothers and the strength and confidence of your father. You have Rosehart blood in you, pure Rosehart blood. There's no doubt that you can do this." He said, warming my heart. I looked up at him, tears falling down my cheeks.

Our faces were mere inches apart and I closed the distance. He put his hand on my thigh and the other on the back of my neck. I dug my fingers into his silky, dark brown hair. Our lips moved in sync and he growled deeply in the back of his throat. We broke apart and I noticed the storm seized. He rested his forehead against mine, his dark eyes locking with my silver ones. "See, you can control this." He smirked and kissed my nose. It felt like the energy was drained out of me and I rested my head on his chest.

I felt complete being in Xavier's arms and I knew that I'd make an effort to control this. I fell asleep as he walked me back to the room.

I woke up shivering. I pressed against a warm, hard chest that sent tingles through my body. I felt lips press against my forehead. "Good-morning, angel." He mumbled, his deep voice sending shivers down my spine. I mumbled a good-morning and buried my face in his chest. He growled deeply and kissed my neck. "You're mine, Jezebelle." I shivered and felt his lips curve into a smirk against my neck. My wolf purred. 'Let him mark us again.' She pushed, but I ignored her. I wanted it to happen with time.

Xavier put his hands on my hips, pulling me closer and I realized I was only in my undergarments. His fingers dug into my skin and my breath hitched. He left open-mouthed kisses down my neck, scraping his elongated canines against my soft spot, making me moan. He chuckled, nipping the skin, earning a louder moan. "You're so fun to tease, angel." He growled. I unintentional pressed my hips against his, grinding against his member. Xavier groaned, biting down on my neck softly. I inhaled sharply and dug my nails into his shoulders.

He flipped us over so that he was on top of me. He slid his hands up and down my sides, stopping at my thighs. He gave them a small squeeze and rubbed them gently. I was breathing heavily and I closed my eyes, biting my lip. I felt his lips crash down on mine and I moaned into his mouth. We broke apart and I pouted. He chuckled, pecking my lips and getting up. "Come on, you've probably woken up the entire pack at this point." He said, a satisfied smirk on his face.

I gaped at him. "I wasn't loud!" I said, laughing slightly. He snorted, putting on black jean. "Bullshit, you were just about begging for it." He said and I huffed, getting up. "Was not," he slapped my ass and left the room. "Were too!" He said before leaving.

After getting dressed, which was pretty difficult, I hesitantly went downstairs. I went into the kitchen, crossing my arms. "Hey, beautiful." Xavier purred in my ear, wrapping his arms around me from behind. He kissed my neck, on my soft spot. I inhaled sharply and he chuckled. "Not now, Xavier." I hissed at him and Tyler looked at us with a sly smirk on his face. "Have you two mated yet?" My eyes widened and my cheeks warmed. "No," I said and he rolled his eyes.

"No wonder you're pretty much grinding all up on him." He said and Xavier growled, pulling me closer to him. Tyler walked past us, patting my head. "Just be careful, he won't go easy on you." I blushed profusely and Xavier chuckled. He pulled away and I sat on a bar stool. He made coffee and put it down. He picked me up, placing me on his lap. He buried his face in the crook of my neck. "Soon, you won't be able to hold back. The next phase for heat is going to be even worse than the last one."

"I was in the room the last phase."

"Exactly, you were whimpering the whole time." He smirked and dragged his nose up my neck. "You'll be whimpering and a lot more underneath me," he growled seductively in my ear. I shivered. He kissed my neck and I arched my back to him. He wrapped his arms around me and nipped at my neck. "Xavier, stop. Not in the kitchen." I growled at him and he chuckled. "Its my house, princess. Nobody is going to bother us." I shook my head, turning around. "Seriously," I said, blushing. He smirked, locking eyes with me.

"So, I see you two have made up. But I don't need to see you guys make out." Brent walked in and got a cup of coffee. Xavier looked especially cheerful, for some odd reason. "What're you so cheery about?" He chuckled. "Cause I have you in my arms, love." I felt giddy inside when he called me love. Brent made a gagging sound as he walked by. I threw a towel at him, getting him in the back of the head. He just took the towel with him. Xavier growled lowly, nuzzling my neck and inhaling my scent. I felt his muscles tense up.

I massaged his shoulders, trying to ease the tension. "Why're you so tense? Just relax, there's nothing to worry about." He shook his head, pulling away. "There is," he looked at me with pitch black eyes and I knew that he was seconds away from losing control of his wolf. He pushed me away and I stood against the wall. He was going to lose control...all because of me. I saw the floor and wall start to freeze where I stood. I looked down, my heart breaking. "We can't be together, Xavier. You lose control, and then I lose -" I was cut off by his lips smashing against mine.

We broke apart and he growled. "I'm not losing you, again." I shook my head, pulling away. "You already have," I ran upstairs, grabbing my cloak and took my normal clothes off. I slipped my cloak over my head and opened the window. I jumped out, an explosion of ice froze ten feet away from where I landed. I bolted, putting my hood up.

I was going rogue again. It was the only choice I had. It was to save Xavier and his pack from being destroyed.
