Chapter 49

Saving Jane

Chris POV

I sensed her danger, the moment she started panicking. Never had I felt so much fear until the immense dread she felt for her family. Nothing more than her mattered to me. I could sense her, our bond was there and I knew that was the sole reason for knowing something bad was heading her way. I switched my course from the apartment letting instinct tell me where she was located. But when I arrived at the packs territory in the middle of a raid, I panicked. My senses were on high alert and made myself sure to spot her out. I knew she could protect herself but I needed to help her regardless. She didn't think of her own safety when it involved her family. When I arrived near her I saw some rouge knock her out from behind with a steel bat. Seeing her fall and that rouge drag her away made me snap. Vampire instincts took over to protect not only my best friend, my mate but my queen and the love of my life. Nothing made more sense that to kill anything that threatened her life. She was the kindest soul I knew all around. Seeing these guys made my skin crawl. They say hatred and love is a strong word, but my love for her is beyond words and the hatred towards these rouges was unimaginable. I was never one to want my enemies to suffer because of theatrics, so deaths would be quick. But these rouges, tested my patience.

Next thing I knew all the rouges surrounding me were dead, and she was standing less than ten feet away from me covered in their blood.

"Chris?" she whispered.

I said nothing but looked at her, she didn't look like she had any injuries. Rushing to her side I kept inspecting her body, I needed to know she was okay. Somehow even knowing she was okay didn't satisfy me. Pulling her close to me I took in her scent. The thought of actually loosing her terrified me to the bone.

"I'm here. I will always be here " I whispered.

We didn't say anything more after what I told her, we just stayed in each other's embrace. I knew that we didn't need any words to let each other know what we were truly feeling. She was the girl I would always willingly but my life on the line for without a second thought ever. She was the girl I fell in love the moment I met her. Fighting off my rebellious side of wanting to stay away, I knew I couldn't anymore. There was no point of denying that I needed to be at her side. The constant thought of wondering if she was okay didn't sit well with me. Hearing her sob and hold on to me like her life depended on it broke me apart. She was on very thin ice, showing her emotions now was taking much of her strength.

"Take me to the pack house, I want to check that everyone is okay" she said.

I carried her back to the pack house but I took my time. She was still in shock I can tell but she put others needs before her, I just hope that no else happens because I know for sure she will break apart and she won't ever be the same. Knowing she was safe in my arms made me walk in human pace, to savor the moment we rarely had between us. Patience is virtue, is an old saying , and love conquers all. But is my love enough to be her rock at all times?

"We need to talk " I said while walking.

"I know " she whispered closing her eyes.

"Last time we talked in your room, I told you that you needed to make up your mind on your mate. There's no lies or hidden secrets anymore, you know who your three mates are and now you need to pick" I said trying to speak in a neutral voice.

I couldn't let her know how angry it made me that Justin avoided her or that Derek never cared enough to say the truth. Both of them didn't deserve her and I had always been honest but sometimes that's not enough. Looking down at her face I could see her struggle. I knew she was making her choice but I wasn't one of the choices she was debating on and I knew it. When she opened her eyes I made sure that I didn't let any emotions show on my face. The poker face of every political figure learned to do, this is one of the times that I was glad of being taught how to mask my emotions.

"I didn't really think about that while you were away. When you left I felt so empty, whatever calmness I felt was gone with you. Loosing you that day made me crumble. Reality hit me that I had already lost you" she whispered.

"But you never did. I want you happy, always have. Just I needed time to process it all. I'm not running away from you anymore. You were right before, were stuck forever in each other's lives regardless of those around us " I said smiling.

"I like the idea of us being stuck together " she whispered snuggling closer to me.

This made me hold her closer and smell her scent. Her snuggling into me made me realize in a way I would always have her with me. By the time we were at the pack house, I didn't want to let go. Justin and Derek were at the front of the pack house starring at me. The glare was a obvious understanding but having her near didn't make me care.

"She's mine " Derek growled.

"Can you put me down please ?" she whispered.

Reluctantly I put her down but her next movements shocked me. I couldn't believe what she said, it wasn't what I was expecting when I brought her back to the pack house.
