Today was the day, Hunter had his parent's call the school and tell them I would be moving out of the country and do school there. It was the only for sure way that social services wouldn't be called.
Hunter was in the office now, working everything out. And here I was, doing as I was told, feeling cold, a bone chilling cold, but not knowing why, as I cleared out my locker.
"What are you doing?" I jumped at the urgency in the tone, thinking Hunter was here to scold me for not going fast enough. But it was Cayden. He wore all black as if he had just came from a funeral, wearing black pants and a black collared shirt with his hair combed back. His cologne filled my nose and I tried to hold my breath before I realized how dumb that was. He smelled good, why should I feel bad that I was inhaling deeply?
"Leave me alone," even to my ears, my voice could only be descripted as monotone. A robots voice. I pulled out a small pocket book and shoved it into my duffle bag, throwing in random items I kept in my locker inside.
"I'll leave when you tell me what you're doing, otherwise, I'll stand here and wait until...." he let the rest hang in the air. Until Hunter got back he meant. A threat? From Cayden? I blinked, realizing I shouldn't be surprised, knowing he wasn't the person I had thought him to be.
"It's not your business, I'm leaving school, for good," I scooped up the last of the items and shoved them into the brown duffle bag, zipping it up and slinging it over my shoulder. "Goodbye now," I said as I turned away from his wide brown eyes, the way his head was cocked like a dog who was confused. The bell rung, signaling for everyone to get to class.
Hunter had told me to wait by the car, so that's what I would do. I felt the breeze hit my cheek as I pushed open the exit double doors. Tonight Hunter would mark me and I would belong to him forever. It was for the best.
This is the best you could hope for, the wolf side of me encouraged, still in the driver seat inside of my mind.
Will I be ok? I wondered, but there was no answer back. I guess now I felt didn't matter any longer.
Strong arms grabbed me and yanked me to the side, causing me to lose my grip on my bag, letting it fall to the ground with a yelp. "Hunter please-" I started to beg but as my back was pushed into the brick wall of the side of the school and I looked up, I realized it wasn't Hunter. It was Cayden.
"Oh Hayley," he whispered as he trapped me in with his arms on either side of my body. "I need you to know, I was only trying to help, I thought if I told him all of that stuff he wouldn't go and take it out on you."
I looked away. What did that mean to me now? I was Hunter's property, as my necklace read, there was no more time for discussion.
"Hayley? Say something, please," Cayden shook my shoulders slightly, but still I looked over his shoulder, off into the distance, unable to meet his gaze, unable to feel. "Get mad at me, slap me, I don't care, please, say something," his voice broke at the last two words as he buried his face into my neck.
"I can make you submit, my dad told me it's not too late," he mumbled into my neck, I put my hands on his chest to push him away, but he pulled back and there was a sudden urgency about him as he grabbed my jacket and yanked it down.
"What are you doing? Stop it, I belong to Hunter not you," I tried to shove at his chest but it was as if it were made of steel.
"I'm sorry, let me just look," He muttered as he ran his hands down both sides of my neck, bending his head down as if to examine my neck and shoulders. He breathed a sigh of relief as he stepped away. "It's not too late. I'm sorry Hayley," My eyes snapped to his for a moment, just to see tears enter his, before I looked down at his shoulders.
"Please just leave me alone-"
"No, I'm sorry but this is the only way, I have to force you to submit," he sounded determined.
Cayden? Make me submit? No.. no I couldn't allow. My wolf screamed bloody murder. We already decided it was Hunter. What if Cayden made me submit to him, took me away and when he got tired, tossed me off to the side? No, I couldn't, I had to fight.
"No!" I cried in desperation. "No!" I turned to flee, but he yanked me back, his hand firm on my upper arm. I looked back at him with wide eyes.
"Hayley, I demand you," He spoke in a strange voice, one that pierced inside of my head.
"No," I sobbed, feeling the invasion. "Not you, Cayden, not you."
"Hayley..." I froze, a flood of tears falling from my eyes as I waited, suddenly I was sitting up tall in the passenger seat, watching what was about to happen, my wolf side, in the driver side and trying to pull from his grasp but failing, she was weak, so weak. "Hayley, you must -"
he choked again and then the grip on my arms loosened. "Dammit Hayley," he pulled me into his arms, and started to cry, sobs making his shoulders shake. "I can't do it, even to save you, I can't do it," he started to cry, wet tears running down his face and onto my shoulder as he laid his head there. "I cant, I just want to take you away from the pain and suffering, but I can't make another being submit. Please, forgive me," his voice cracked again as he pulled away, shaking his head, his dark hair falling into his eyes.
My whole systems felt in shock. He could have...but he didnt?
"Cayden you...was that not your intention all along?" I breathed out the words. The whole time I was around him I've always wondered if he sensed what I was and just wanted to tease and use me because of it.
"No, never, you know what happened to my mom, I couldn't do that to you too, even for a moment, I love you, Hayley I know its' only been a short time, but I care about you so much. I swear what I told Hunter, it was to make sure he wouldn't be angry with you," he pleaded and again I could only stare off into the distance, everything trying to work itself out in my head.
He mentioned his mom, so he was telling the truth? He was omega like me?
We shouldn't be around him, Hunter could be back any moment, my wolf side - no, omega side, panted in fear. We have to go, I'm getting us out of here.
"No," I said sternly, feeling Cayden's confused look on me. I don't fear Hunter. I was wrong about Cayden. "You love me?" I said out loud, feeling the sudden rush of every emotion ever hit me hard.
"Yes Hayley, I fucking love you and I need you to come back to me, let go of that side, I know, I know how it is, how easier it is to give in and let it take over, but it's not you, you're not weak, you're not a prisoner, come back to me," he finished, backing me into the wall, hands on either side of my face as he pressed his forehead to mine, waiting...for me to react.
"Cayden," I whispered as I shoved the omega out of the driver side, climbing over and taking the reigns. "I deserve better than him," I said outloud, meaning to say to that weak side of me, but declaring it aloud anyway.
"Yes, you do, never leave me like that again Hayley," his cool breath fanned my face as we felt the first drops of rain come down on us. My body was stiff but now I needed to touch him, so I gripped onto his arms as they held my face gently.
And for the first time in what felt like forever, I looked up into his eyes, seeing all the emotions there that he always displayed like an open book.
"You know me Hayley, you know me," he insisted. "Don't let him put doubt in your head."
And he did, because who would want me? Who would risk their neck for me? Who would see my broken soul laid bare to them and still choose me?
"I know," I started to cry but then I was pressing my lips against his, the sky opening up and raining down hard on us now, but it felt as if we were in a warm pocket bubble. Just me and him. I gasped as I slid my arms around his neck and he moved his hands to circle my hips, pulling me close to him, us chest to chest, tightly together. And then when he titled his head, I deepened the kiss, loving how with Cayden he allowed me to have full control. I tentavilly licked at his tongue, circling it as I tasted him, he tasted like fresh mint and a taste that was all his own underneath. Suddenly feeling hungry for him, I moaned as I picked up the pace, jumping up to wrap my legs around his torso as he shoved me back against the brick, holding me up, almost above him. Pressing all the hard parts of him to the soft parts of me.
I never felt such need. Want, maybe, but this didn't feel that way, it was as if I needed him, needed to kiss him until my lips were raw and tongue tired.
But all good things come to an end. And the sudden image of Hunter finding me like this, I knew I had to stop it.
Pulling back, I blinked as I looked around. "Hunter will be back, I have to go," I said sadly.
"No," Cayden said in such a fierce voice. "No Hayley, I can't stand it, him hurting you."
I smiled as I touched his cheek. "You have to think about your dad Cayden. They would go after him, we have to be smart about this. It's not over yet. He thinks I'm his mind controlled slave. We can use that to our advantage."
"No," Cayden whispered as I slid out of his arms. "No Hayley, it has to be now."
"I'm not ready and you know it, we have to train more. And we have to be able to run out of town. Do you have money for that?" I questioned with raised eyebrows knowing the answer. "Ok, so I have a plan. Just a short time more, and we will be together," I smiled as I grabbed his hand, squeezing it before letting it go. The rain was coming down harder. I shook my head and shouted ."I got to go but I'll text you ok? Just don't text back," And then I was running away from him, scooping up my duffle bag that he had made me drop and feeling empty without his touch.
I stood by Hunter's car for a couple minutes before Hunter rushing out, unlocking the doors.
"Sorry babe," he said once we were pulling away. "Just some last paperwork." I stared at his shoulders, playing as if I were still a weak omega.
"Never apologize Hunter, I live for you now," I said, holding back from gritting my teeth at the words.
Inside I was stressed out, Hunter expected us to complete the claiming tonight. We'd have to fuck and then he'd bite down on my shoulder and he'd think I was his forever. But I could pull it off. Since I wasn't allowed to shift, the bite would scar, making him think for the moment that it was forever.
"I can't wait for tonight Hayley, but I still have to go to pack meeting, so I'm just dropping you off at home ok?" he said before turning on the radio, not bothering to hear a reply.
Good. I could text Cayden, get him to meet me in the woods behind the mansion, give him a bunch of valuables and the credit card, he could drain it, and we could sell the stuff I gave him for a good amount of money when we were out of town.
It all seemed perfect in my head, but life rarely went as we wanted it to go.
