Unheard: Book 3 of The Bound Trilogy

Chapter 12 Part 1

Chapter 12

~Kayla’s POV~

It had been a few days since my family and I were abducted from our home.  The only reason I knew it had been so long, was from the amount of visits from the guards.

They left us alone for the most part, except for meal times or when they needed Emily to take her meds for the pregnancy.

After each passing day, our hope for rescue was dwindling.  It had already been three days and I could tell the lack of effort in escaping was getting to Emily.  She would start to recede into herself, curling around her pregnant belly, rubbing it over and over.  Then she would perk up and act like nothing was wrong.

I wish I had her ability to ignore everything going on around me, but I couldn’t.  I had no idea if my son was safe or not.  I didn’t know if Alexander was still alive, but I had to believe he was.  With him coming back into my life our mate bond had resurfaced.  I had to hope that if something happened to him then I would have some way of knowing it through the bond.  So far, there has been no sign.  It was starting to get on my nerves.

I spent my days pacing around the small ten-by-ten room.  I needed out of here.  I was close to exploding, when Emily stepped in my path.

“Em, I’m not in the mood,” I ground out.  “If you don’t move, then I will move you myself.”  God what is happening to me?  I’ve never talked like that before.  I guess the stress was worse then I thought.

Emily just stared blankly in my direction with a serene smile on her face.  I wanted to slap it off.  Seriously, what is wrong with me?

“I know you don’t mean that Kay,” she said.  “I have been trying to get your attention for a while now.  You were so busy making a rut in the floor you didn’t notice.”

I paused in my murderous thoughts at her words.  Okay, I need to calm down.  This is not like me.  I never want to hurt people.  Maybe this anger has something to do with my bond with Alexander?

“Kay!  You still there?”

“Uh, yeah, sure.  Sorry, spaced out for a minute.” I murmured sheepishly.

My words were greeted with a small smile.  “No problem.  But you really need to listen to me.”

“Okay, what’s up Em?”  I had stopped my pacing next to the metal-framed bed so took a seat on the lumpy mattress.

She followed suit, almost sitting on top of me.  She would have, if I hadn’t gently nudged her to the left of me.

“Well, I just thought you should know that we are going to be out of here tomorrow.”

I was shocked, “What? How, why, huh?”

“Oh Kay, you’re funny,” she giggled.

It’s the first time I had heard her laugh.  Granted our circumstances didn't lend to laughing, but still it was nice to hear.

“How do you know that we are going to be out of here tomorrow?”

There was a pause, the silence stretching, “Well, you know that voice I heard the first night you were brought here?”

I nodded, then remembered she couldn’t see the action so made a noise in the affirmative.

“Well, turns out the voice was my sister, Leah.  She was one of the ones with you when they came to your home.”  This was getting hard to believe.  How could her sister talk to her?  Then I remembered her talking to me in my mind.  It was something to do with her being a special type of wolf or something.  I should have paid more attention to Lex when he told me all of this stuff when we first mated.  Oh well, hindsight is always twenty-twenty.
