The Big Bad Wolf

Chapter 17

Victor was sniffing out James's scent and we ended up in a remote area in the forest. I was shaking like crazy, thinking about how James is gonna present himself. I'm praying that he doesn't find out I'm a wolf too soon and then our plan is foiled. I felt a gloomy atmosphere after 2 minutes of standing still.

"He's' here," Victor said. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close to him. 

James and a few of the men he assembled with him came to where we were at and two of the men were holding my mom and she had tape over her mouth and she was bound with ropes around her arms. 

James snickered. "So I guess you learned the hard way that Jenna was gonna bring attention to the vampire territory," James started. "You hid her scent well for her human scent to be gone."

"James," I spoke up. "You don't want my mother. You want me. Please, just let her go and take me instead."

James tilted his head in confusion. "This is too easy for me," he said. "I'll take both of you instead."

Victor squeezed me tightly. "Jen, I don't think this is gonna work," he told me in my ear.

 I wanted to panic. My mom's life is more valuable than mine. "How about my life?" I asked loudly.

It was silent. I gulped at this decision and I know it wasn't part of the plan, but I need my mother to be free. 

"Take my life right here, right now." I repeated. "And let my mom go. You want me more than my mom."

James laughed. "I sure do." He looked behind him. "Let her go."

They cut the ropes off my mother and she pulled the tape off her mouth and ran to me. She hugged me and started crying. 

"Jenna, you don't have to do this!" She cried. She cupped my face. "Please, back down."

"Mama, I got this," I assured her. 

Victor hugged me and kissed my forehead. "This better be a plan to escape." He whispered.

"I'll find a way," I replied in the same tone.

I turned to James and I walked to him. He back handed me extremely hard and I fell on the ground, breathing heavily as he called me a pathetic little bitch. His men started kicking me; one in my back and one in my stomach. I started to hear myself growl as I tried to keep my cover. I heard Victor yelling, telling James to stop them from beating me up. James threatened to kill me on the spot if Victor made one move towards me. I got tired of the beating and I caught the guy's leg before he landed another blow to my stomach. I broke his ankle and he fell back screaming I quickly got up, in spite of the pain and gave a right hook to the guy who was attacking my back. The 2 other guys came charging at me and I kicked one of them in their stomach and pushed him into the other guy. I stumbled a little and put my back against a tree to keep me standing.

James looked at me and scowled. "You!" He  yelled. "You're a wolf!"

My fangs started showing. "As far as I'm concerned, I'm an Omega. And I'm not gonna let you hurt my family."

James went to swing at me and I quickly dodged it, running as fast as I could back to Victor. He grabbed me and held me in his arms. 

"Jenna, if you ever do that shit again," he warned. He didn't finish his warning and kissed my cheek. "You could've died."

"But I'm okay." I told him. I started coughing and a little blood came out. 

James started charging at us and shapeshifted into a fully black wolf. Victor picked me up and placed me in Gordon's arms and Victor charged back at James, shapeshifted, and they started fighting.
