Chapter 13

Lina

I woke up with massive headache and weak body. I don't even know where I am. All I see is darkness, but I feel the soft sheets of the bed underneath me. Am I in my room?

No, this doesn't smell like my room.

I tried to move in a sitting position wincing by trying because of something on my neck.

What is this?

I touched the right side of my neck where my shoulder and neck meets only to feel it swollen.

Again I winced and memories from yesterday came back from me.

The cell, Jasen, the marking.

Oh my gosh he marked me. I won't be able to escape this hell hole now! Marking between mates means binding it forever. But needs to complete the mating process, to make it official.

I'm thankful he didn't try to have his way with me while I'm sleeping.

Wait, why is my mark swollen and not healing? A werewolf's mark should heal in no time and be a bite mark. Specially if he is an alpha.

Suddenly I feel worried, like something wrong is happening. But at the same time, I feel safe. What is happening?

'He marked her! That piece of shi-'

I know this voice! The voice in my head! Its Eli! Why am I hearing things? Am I getting crazy?

"U-umm.. E-eli"

I whispered in my head hoping to hear Eli just like a mind link.

"Lina ?! Oh my god Isla where are you? Are you hurt? He marked you didn't he?!"

I could almost felt the shiver on my body when he growled.

"Eli? Elize oh my, is that really you?"

I almost sobbed. The amount of hope to get out here is getting high. And I like it. It should be high like its on weed.

"Yes baby, calm down tell me where you are I'm going to get you okay?"

I almost moaned the way he said baby. It's like we had mutual understanding and everything just felt natural. Just like the way it should be.

"Elize oh my god! H-he marked me h-he put me in the cell in h-his basement it smells so bad there are lots of blood and-and an old man died I don't know what to do Elize help me! The mark, its not healing my whole body hurts and my wolf isn't responding to me Eli"

By the time I finished I'm a whole sobbing mess. It makes my head ache more but I need a release.

"That-that bastard!"

I heard a loud what seemed like punching noise till he talked again breathing deep before that.

"Are you on Jasen's house? Lina tell me I will get you no matter what the cost is"

"I-i don't know let me peak in the window."

I struggled to stand up getting dizzy by doing so, but peek at the window anyway only to see that I am infact on Jasen house.

"Yes, I'm in Jacobs house, but he has bunch of guards surrounding the house Eli."

The communication inside my head is cut off.

What the heck! I need him! He can't just waltz around offering help and then suddenly disappear!

I opened the curtain letting the luminous light of the moon enter the dull room.

I'm in Jasen's room. How could I not guess that.

'Mili? Mili are you okay?'

I tried talking to my wolf but had no such luck. Will I ever be able to shift again? What happened to Mili?

Turning around I saw a mirror and gasp at my appearance.

My eyes had a dark circle underneath it and I look so depressed. My lips are chapped and my skin became so pale.

My neck. Oh god my neck is swollen I could see the outline of his bite. Its a disgusting sight to see.

Searching for some cloth to cover it.

Luckily I've found his first aid kit for emergencies and cleaned it. Covering it with the long cloth.

I look so weird with this but whatever. Its not like I had somebody to impress.

Eli you need to impress Eli.

The unlogical side of my brain said. I blushed at the thought. Sure, Eli is so sweet and kind to me but, I'm not that confident to be his mate. And I'm sure he wouldn't pick me anyways.

My thoughts are interrupted by loud knock from outside.

"Lina"

Jasen said in a singsong voice.

I shivered in disgust. What if he try to mate with me now?

"Y-you jerk! You marked me!"

I said inching away from his body that is towering me. I hadn't noticed that he had brought some food with him.

"I just wanted you to eat baby"

The way he said baby made me shiver in disgust. Like it rolled out from his tongue in a bad way.

"C'mon I have milk here and some pancakes and bacon"

His eyes lingered from my neck for few seconds but didn't comment to it. He placed the plates in the table while I'm watching his every move warily.

"I cooked this" he said with a grin. I looked on the plate to find a perfectly cooked pancakes drenched in maple syrup with some good cooked bacon. With a glass of milk on the side.

Its so perfect I don't like it.

I like the pancakes burnt like Eli does.

I like the bacon undercooked like Eli did.

I like salted coffee better than milk like Eli prepared.

I want to be with Eli. I like Eli.

Watching Jasen with unblinking eyes. We began to hear few shouts of the guards outside.

Jasen too began to wonder what is it. When Jasen went to the door it busted on him causing Jasen to fly to another side of the room.

Looking at the door I saw him.

He really is there with me.

He is where I belong.
