Broken Chains

Part 19

Chapter 19

"Jessie, Jessie what did you do?" Carl asked in a desperate tone as he struggled to hold me in to his chest.

"It hurts it hurts." I said clutching at him desperately.

"your alright Baby," he said holding me tightly pressed into him as I writhed desperately every inch of me hurt as intense pain consumed me intense for a moment and then moving on to cause me another bolt of intense pain in another area. I could feel the pain but I knew it wasn't mine, I just knew it was Derek somebody close was hurting my mate and badly. "Holy fuck." Carl said as he removed the hand that had been placed to my back holding me pressed into him. before I even saw his hand the sweet sticky coppery smell hit me and I knew what was happening somehow I was bleeding and more than a little. "What the fuck? Why are you?" Carl stammered poor little lamb; he was totally lost as to what was happening and what he could do. He didn't have a clue how to help because he didn't know what was happening and if I was honest neither did I. I knew somebody was hurting my mate that was all in a way that was more than enough. I was desperate to get out there to protect him but I couldn't even if Carl hadn't been pinning me in place this pain was intense for him it must be near unbearable. I tasted the salt that fell on my lips as my hot heavy tears slid down my face.

"It's okay honey." Carl said weakly as he rocked me, but even I could hear the tremble in his voice he didn't believe this anymore.

"It's my fault." I whimpered snuggling into Carl's chest breathing deeply in immersing myself in his scent. So much like his brothers. "Derek I'm so sorry" I muttered feeling the echoes of his pain. "I am so so sorry my love."

Derek

"Leave him there."

"Like fuck I will."

"He's Jessie's mate he won't let us take her."

"Yeah well she's my sister I won't let you take her... but I won't let them hurt her either."

"Elizabeth?"

"Yeah."

"Okay Buddy I'm just going to lay this out nice a simple for you. I'm permitting you to come with me as I'm a little short on options and I need some help. You are the only option I have here because you can fucking walk and you did try to stop them. But when we find Elizabeth I am taking her home and you will stay away from her. She's a member of the royal family, she's precious to us, my favourite sister and you're a rogue. Fuck biology I don't care it's not going to happen. You will not touch her."

"we'll see." Was the indifferent response.

"I am not joking." Was a growled response the threat was clear as day.

"Look if there is one thing I've learnt through all this it's simply that when it comes to your mate there is absolutely no point in trying to fight it because you just won't win, you can't." The noises floated up to my brain I could tell there were two voices but as for anything else that was just beyond my brains current ability, even making out a meaning of each sentence was taking a very long time. I felt rough arms wrapping around my shoulders and yanking me to my feet. I gnashed my teeth and tried to pull away from whoever this was as the simple action of being pulled to my feet had caused pain to explode over every inch of my body. I could feel hot sticky blood flowing freely down my skin, as my entire body ached from a million different bruises and broken bones.

"Jessie." I groaned throatily,

"No I can see why you'd think that no Sorry it's just me." A voice said as the one holding me began to walk that small jostling enough to cause me agony even though I wasn't even moving as my feet were simply being dragged along the floor as I was carried across the room. I growled gnashing my teeth in pain as I snarled at whoever this was who would refuse to let me just lay down and die.
