Wolf Queen (The Fate of Berrilium)

Chapter 16 – Dark queen

Jake

My heart thumps inside my chest as I watch Lorry repeat her words to Destiny. My mouth frozen, while hate and anger slams inside of me, all of it directed at Destiny. My brain goes over the situation logically. It's best if Destiny leaves now. She's nothing but a waste of space. She killed a pack member. She is not wanted here, not by me or any of her pack mates. She's a liar and a fake.

My eyebrow twitches as these words run through my mind acting as my own. My wolf howls for his mate, trying to push through a barrier that I never noticed was there. I try to soothe him, to let him know that this was right, but as Destiny runs out of the house, I find my feet moving on its own, trying to reach for her. My movements are stiff, and more thoughts of Destiny is slammed inside my head.

My heart beats harder than it ever has before. One thought pushes through the mess of hatred filled words. I can't let her go again. I won't. My movements are slow as I hold on to that thought. I shake my head trying to rid myself of the horrible feelings that are only directed to Destiny. My wolf's howling cuts me deep, its agonizing and torture filled. My heart clenches, as the agony reaches to the center of my being. I cannot, will not, let her go again.

My slow movements are halted as soon as I feel a soft hand on my shoulder. I can feel my wolf's anger, but I'm unsure of why he's so angry. I turn my head, my gaze landing on Lorry. Love and happiness breaches my soul. This is right. I should let Destiny go, Lorry is the one I want, not someone as weak willed as Destiny. Thoughts like this continue, and my confusion grows as Lorry begins to pet me, with a sweet smile on her face.

"Just a little longer." She says with now both her hands on me. I look down noticing the ring I gave her, my mother's ring. My eyebrows furrow, why would I ever...

Lorry kisses me, and all coherent thoughts flee my mind. I dive into the kiss, unaware of the other people in the room. I grab her hair, gripping it tightly, almost violently in my hands. Lorry groans, tilting her hips towards mine.

"Yes!" She breaths onto my lips. My mind wills me to take her. To take her right here, in front of my pack, and the enforcers. My limbs twitch as violent lust overtakes me.

I grip Lorry closer, my thoughts to only have her close to me, but my movements do the opposite of my thoughts. I push her away from me, as if my body was against my brain, and took on a life of its own. My heart continues to thump inside my chest as a rush of panic takes me.

Why did I push her away, I love her? I turn my head, looking at the eyes of my pack. Their gazes are on Lorry and me, glazed and unfocused. I turn to Jason and his pack members; whose eyes also hold the same look. I sense of foreboding slams into my chest, so hard that I stumble back, clutching at my heart.

I look at Lorry again, her face wearing a smirk while her head is tilted.

"Well, you always have been difficult, even when you were a child. You always went back to her, in some way or form. If I'm honest, I've always been a little envious. The way your heart bleeds for her is...beautiful. I wished to actually have your affections, and I think I did. Somewhere in your heart you cared for me, it's why this worked so well. So, I thank you Jakey, for making this such a fun experience. It was so good." I stare at her in confusion, my mind now a clouded storm, while lightning strikes are being thrown at my heart.

Lorry touches my face, and gives me a sweet kiss. Unable to will myself to follow her movements, I stand still. Pulling away, Lorry reaches for my hand, opening it. I didn't realize that I had balled my fists up so tightly. I look at the hand in Lorry's. I see specks of blood where my nails were dug into my skin.
