Chapter 9:  Once You’re In, There Is NO Backing Out!

I’m ready. I know I am. Why has Noah not come yet!? I desperately need to get out from here. I can’t bare this craziness anymore. I’ve not once been at peace since I got here. I am currently sitting on the front porch of the pack house, thinking about everything that happened yesterday. What is it that I am not believing in? She said she’ll tell me when I believe in her? What does that even mean?

“You know you look sexy when you think about something.” His voice startles me.

“God, you scared me!” I exclaim looking at him.

“Sorry, my bad.” He says and flops down next to me. I shift a bit to the right so that there is a decent gap between us. He looks at me and hurt flashes through his eyes.

“You don’t really understand the mate concept do you?” he says, looking surprisingly calm. I shake my head and he continues. “It’s not only the mate-pull, Jennifer. I do really like you. Why can’t you see? All that I have been trying to do is get in your good books but you keep pushing me away!” he says this time I can see the anger in his eyes.

“You’ve done nothing wrong, Harry. I just don’t  know you and-“ my eyes wonder and land on Noah, hiding behind a tree looking at me, smiling. “And, uh, I think you should go.” I say and he gives me the are-you-serious? Look.

“What? Why?” he asks.

“Just leave me alone please.” I say firmly.

“No, I am not going to! You are telling me now! What the fuck is your problem?” he says, his voice slightly louder this time.  

“You know what my problem is?” I say raising my voice equally. “I have a boyfriend and I don’t want to be with anyone but him!” I lie. And I instantly feel guilty. If this will make him hate me, then cool, I don’t mind lying.

“You’re lying” he yells. His eyes are now bloodshot red and his fists clenched at his sides.

“I’m not lying. I love him and I will spend the rest of my life with him!” I say not looking into his eyes.

“Who is he?” he growls. Oh damn. What do I say now? As I was trying to think of a name, Noah starts fixing his jacket and turns around to leave. Oh no!

“Noah.” I yell. My eyes widen, Harry’s eyes widen, I see Noah turn around, even his eyes are wide.

“Noah? From the RedWood pack!?” Harry whispers, narrowing his eyes. Shit, shit, shit!

“Uh, um, Ye- uh-“ I don’t know what to say to him. If I say yes, Harry will declare a war on the RedWoods and I don’t want that. And If I say no, he will know I am lying and well, I don’t want that either.

“Answer me!” he yells. Oh shit.

“It’s none of your business!” I say firmly. “I’m going to sleep. I need rest.” I say and turn around leaving a really very, very, pissed/angry/sad Harry behind. I walk upstairs and close the bedroom door shut behind me. “If you wanted to be my girlfriend, you could have just asked.” A smirking Noah stands in front of me with his arms crossed across his chest, leaning against the wall.

“Shut up, Noah.” I say rolling my eyes. “This is going to be a big mess, I can feel it.” I say and throw myself onto the bed. “And yeah, I’m ready.” I say with a sigh.

“Ready for what?” he asks smirking. Pervert.

“Ready to get the fuck out of here!” I whisper yell at him gritting my teeth.

“Oh.” He says looking a little shocked by my sudden change of mood. “Yeah, about that, you know I won’t do this for free and it might take a little time you know. I want something. Something you can get without making anyone suspicious as you are new and people will think you only want to know about it more and stuff like that.” He says sitting down next to me. “But it will not be a piece of cake. You will have to go through many difficulties to get to it.” He says pushing the hair that has fallen on my cheek behind my ear.

“But, what is it?” I ask. I will do anything it takes to get out of this creepy place and live a life I’ve always wanted to.

“It is the Black Crystal.” He says and my mouth drops open.

“What? Dude, No! Look I know I am new and stuff but I know what that crystal means to these people. I can’t do this, I’m sorry. They will kill me if they come to know. This is too risky and I can’t betray them, right?”

“You have anyways betrayed them, here I am” he says pointing at himself. “Sitting here next to you, in your room. You better make up your mind soon, Jenn. And yes, I don’t know about them, but if you don’t do this, I will have to kill you. Once you’re in, there is no backing out. I’m sorry.” He says and jumps out of the window. Wtf? I can’t do this! Oh god. What should I do? Should I talk to Harry about it? LOL NO!

Suddenly I hear somebody knock. “Harry, please go away.” I shout.

“Jennifer, open! It’s Alec.” ARGH! “Coming.”

“What is it Alec? I was in the middle of something.” I say giving him an annoyed expression. He grabs my hand and pulls me into the bedroom. “What are you doing!? Let go of me!” I scream. He holds both my wrists into one of his hands and pushes me against a wall, keeping the other hand firmly holding my waist. “Harry! Harry!” I scream for help but he doesn’t come.

Alec starts leaning towards me and I try to wiggle out of his grip. But he is so strong that I can’t move an inch. A hot tear rolls down my cheek, “Please, No. Please” I say as my voice starts to break.

He leans more close and sniffs me. Wait what? And then he sniffs me again. And then he backs up. He walks towards the door and opens it. There stands Harry with one hand in his hand and other in his pocket. He looks at Alec as he opens the door. I don’t understand this look, it looks like he’s expecting for him to say something.

Alec smiles at Harry and shakes his head. An amused look appears on Harry’s face and I just stand there with tears stained cheeks, burning eyes and red nose, looking from Harry to Alec. “So you were lying.” Harry states. A smug smile appears on his face. Oh my God. He sent Alec to check if I’ve ever been with someone. That is why he was sniffing me. Of course, I should have known, Alec wouldn’t dare to rape me! he is Harry’s Omega after all.

“Is this some kind of a joke to you?” I say poking Harry’s chest as tears start falling down my eyes. “You know how scared I was?” I say pushing him hard, That causes him to stumble.

“Jennifer.” Alec warns but Harry waves his hand asking him to leave. I shoot him a death glare as he walks past us.

“Jenn, I didn’t mean-“ I cut him by slapping him hard across his face. He holds his face with his right hand and growls. I know he is angry right now, but I just don’t care.

“You have ruined the slightest chance you had with me Harry.” I growl pointing a finger at him. “You disgust me.” I say and rush back into the room before he could say anything. I lock the door quickly and run into the balcony. I take deep breaths to calm myself down.

“You like to play games? I am going to show you how to play games. Be ready to say goodbye to that damned crystal of yours forever, Harry.” I whisper to myself.
