The Lost Lycan Princess

Chapter 12 - Panic

JACKSON POV;

Where is she? That was the main question that played in my mind as I ran after her, determined not to allow her get away from me again. I understood she was hurt, I could see the pain in her eyes as she backed away from me before running out the door. It pained me knowing that I hurt her, the ache in my heart increasing making me gasp for air, like someone was holding a pillow over my face stopping me from breathing. I had to find her, I had to make things right.

Taking in a deep breath, I inhaled her scent as I followed it down the hall way that lead to the main staircase. But just before I reached the end of the hallway, a pair of hands wrapped around my waist and the sound of a female giggling came from behind me. Looking down the freshly manicured nails, I let out a long frustrated sigh as I realised who it was.

"What do you want?" My voice was deep and I knew she could sense the anger in my tone as I turned around to face her.

"Baby, where are you going? the ball room is this way silly" Ashley tried to use a seductive tone as she pushed her body against mine and used her finger to trace over my jawline as she spoke. Shivers flowed down my spine at her touch making me want to puke. There was only one touch I longed for.

Wait?!

My mate!!

I have to stop her before she leaves the house. Pushing my frustration aside, I mind linked Elijah, I knew he was down stairs with his mate showing her around and I needed him to stop my mate from leaving.

"Elijah, I need you to find my mate before she leaves, she's headed for the main door wearing...."but before I could finished, he interrupted me.

"She's wearing a long dress, she has brown hair and green eyes" I could practically see him grin as he spoke through the mind link.

"How the hell did you know that?" How did he know? Was he even in the room when the incident happened? Did James or Gabe tell him?

"Jackson, not only am I your beta but I'm also your best friend. I seen you that night in the club when you meet her, the look on your face said it all. When I went by earlier to see Kiera, Allison was there and I knew instantly she was your mate so I convinced Kiera to make her come" he explained. He was right, he was my best friend. We were inseparable, like Batman and Robin, partners in crime. But something he said got me suddenly interested.

"Her name is Allison?" I asked. Of course it is, it was perfect for her. Her name felt so good as it rolled off my tongue. Allison!

"Ah Jackson, I see her but it's not a pretty sight" he was nervous as he spoke. How bad was it? Was she crying? If course she was crying, I hurt her. My beautiful mate, I hurt her.

"Elijah, I don't care how bad it is, DO NOT LET HER LEAVE!" this time I used my Alpha tone and it was a command which I knew Elijah couldn't help but follow. Of course I cared how bad it was but right now I had to stop her from leaving me.

I was snapped back to reality by something wet in my lips. Was it suddenly raining in here? Coming back to reality, I felt it was Ashley. She had cupped my face with both hands as she lead wet kisses starting from my lips, to my cheek and down my neck stopping at my collarbone. She looked up, a flirtatious glint in her eyes as she grabbed me by the waist and pushed herself against me. Trying to undo my belt and zipping down my fly, her eyes turned from the usual hazel brown to black as the lust took control of her.

Usually I would co-operate, I mean what guy wouldn't when a hot girl was literally throwing themselves at you? But in this situation, I decided it best not to. Don't get me wrong, I thought about it, after all a man has needs. But my biggest need was Allison.
