Waiting for my mate...

Chapter 24

Layla's point of view

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seth took me out for dinner.

Let's say it was delicious, but my hormones were taking over. Even though it felt so wrong, I was making out with Seth. I felt so ready... If I think about it he was the third guy I tried to have sex with these past two years...

I mean not that I wanted to have it so badly, it was just... the moment someone gave me acces to it, I would take it.

My overthinking was disturbed by his cold tongue on my neck. I opened my eyes and recovered from what I had been doing a second ago. I felt everything very clear. My vision was so well even though it was night. I felt something. A deep connection.

'Are you, okay?' Seth chuckled and went on with whatever he was doing... It felt like he put a fish on my belly, but I guess that was sexy or something...

My heart started racing. Something was going on. Then,.. A smell... Rotten flesh. The smell hurt my nose so badly that I couldn't help but make a noise that I didn't want to make again.

I heard Seth chuckle in pleasure.

Aron.

My mind went crazy. Everything went so quickly. I grabbed Seth and pushed him away. I got up and he stared at me for a second.

'What?' he asked shocked. Didn't he smell? He was a werewolf, right? I freaked out.

'Layla, are you alright?' Seth asked before the door slammed open. I faced a furious Aron. His face was icy and you couldn't tell if he was mad, stunned, happy or ready to attack. I blinked a couple of times. His red eyes were big and now frustrated. I slicked.

'At least I have her.' Aron said mostly to himself, which was pretty damn awkward. I looked at Seth.

Layla, I'm scared.

I don't have to be scared. Worst case... he'll kill me. Best case... I'm alive...

Or with Mason.

Fuck off... It really bothers me if you mention him!

'You're different. You don't smell... You changed.' Aron said slowly. Seth stood up.

'She's stronger too.' Seth added.

'Layla, I've got a surprise for you.' Aron began. I nodded and troubled my breathing. I tried to act terrified so Aron would think he was scaring the shit out of me...

'Don't be scared, you will get to see your father and an old friend,.. oh,.. and Mason.' The last part was a cut in my ears. It felt like he knew I would be interested. He knew about me and Mason being mates. It was horrible.

I nodded.

You sure this is a good idea?

Do I have a choice? I tried to walk to Aron and he let me. We went down and down and down. We were taking the stairs. I faced myself in a big mirror in the hallway. I was looking... like trash or slightly sexy, I couldn't see the differance anymore. We went down again and we came to the basement. Aron opened the door where I saw my beloved Mason chained to a wall. He was asleep? Well,.. his eyes were closed and he was wounded. I ran up to him. I touched his cheek. I felt the tears running over my face. His smell hit me. He opened his eyes and he was shocked at first.

'Layla, what about your friend?' Aron asked placing his hand on my shoulder. I felt the need to push him.

'You're hot.' Aron said very dry. Mason was staring at me. His face was so cute. Aron really annoyed me. Mason wasn't bothered by his comment. I grabbed the lock around his wrist. I started to study it. Was there a key. I had to act immediatly!

Get him out!

'You really think you're strong enough?' Aron chuckled. That really annoyed me.

PULL IT!

I took a breath and pulled and for some reason I managed to get the lock out of the wall. I quickly looked at his other hand and managed to do the same thing. I felt Aron's hands around my wrists and I turned around and pushed him away. He was out of balance and I kicked him. He was on the ground now. I grabbed Mason's face and untied the towl around his mouth.

Layla...

I turned around and grabbed Aron by his throat. He was light weighted. I could easily lift him up. I pushed him to a wall.

'Where is my father, where is his pack? Where are my friends?' I demanded in a very dark voice. Aron was scared for a minute.

'They are free. The rest is over there.' Aron said.

'Layla, pass the key,.. it's in his pocket.'  I heard Mason sa a bit unsure. I slicked and looked over Aron... I saw some pockets and put my hand in them. I found one and threw it to Mason. Aron was blown away by something. The next moment I felt two warm hands around my waiste.

'Let me finish it.' Mason whispered. For some reason that excited me in a way it shouldn't. What was he going to do? It made me curious... I dropped Aron. Mason took over. Mason was still wounded, but he got strength out of his anger. I turned around and walked to the door while I heard Aron beg for mercy. I didn't want to look. It was the best choice for me. I reached out for the door and there was no lock... weird... if someone was in there... lock the door.

I opened it and was face with complete horror.
