Unlikely Mates

Recaptured

Amanda P.O.V

As soon as Brayden and Jenna leave the room it got awkward really fast, I now wish that I never heard their conversation. I just want to go to them, hug them and tell them the nightmare I was living with that God-awful man. Unfortunately, something is stopping me from letting it go, and I don't know why. I never cared before, but I do now. As I was distracted by my thoughts Mum, I don't know when, hugged me. I was surprised at Mum's movements but I relax and lift my arms to hug her back. In this moment I felt my frustrations receding and tears building up in my eyes. 'What was I thinking about? Ah well.' I move on and focus on right now. I did it. I was finally home. I feel relief wash over me. It was great to be home again. As I was coming to terms with this, Mum reluctantly pulled back from me with look of concern on her face.

"I'm so glad you're not hurt darling. I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too Mum."

We hugged each other again as if to confirm that I'm here. I pull back from her, and look past to Dad who seems to be uncertain.

"Dad. Are you...okay?"

He snaps out of his trance and walks over to us, but he has a look of guilt in his eyes. He passes Mum and holds me tightly.

"I'm sorry Amanda."

'Sorry. Sorry for what?' Dad let's go of me and steps back with hurt in his eyes. I've seen Dad like this before, something serious is going on, and my absence may or may not have something to do with this..

"Dad."

All of a sudden I feel something pull on my waist.

"Long time no see My Love."

I feel a shiver run up my spine from the sound of his voice and the touch of his hand.

"No."

"Yes."

'This is not possible. How could he find me so quickly.'

"Let go of me!"

"I don't think so. I enjoyed our little game of hide and seek. However all good things must come to an end. Now let's go home."  

I struggle against his grip while looking at Mum and Dad. 'Why are they just standing there?'

"Mum!Dad! Help Me." 

I whisper-yell, pleading for their help. I looked from them to Damian and back again, all their eyes were glazed over, they were just staring at each other, like they weren't even there anymore. Not to mention my beloved parents were not making a move to help me.

In an instant their eyes returned to normal, and they bowed their heads submissively.

"I'm sorry Darling, but, we can't."

Dad responded calmy. Neither Mum nor Dad could look me in the eye after that. My eyes went wide and I was left speechless.

"As fun as this has been,we must immediately depart."

Damian pulled on me but I kept resisting.

"Whose he?"

Jenna's cute voice sounded as she came running into the room with Brayden in tow. I could feel Damian's Breath on my neck as he whispers silently.

"Come with me willingly.Or they'll pay the price for your disobedience."

'Monster.' I did my best trying to hide my emotions as I look at them all.

"Jenna stay behind me."

Jenna came closer to us against Brayden's better judgement.

"Hey Mister."

She started poking Damian to get his attention.

"Jenna. Don't poke him."

Mum said as she hurriedly pulled Jenna towards her.

"I apologise for my youngest daughter, she hasn't got much restraint."

"That's quite alright.Now come my love." I could tell that he was quite annoyed. He started to pull on my hand towards the front of the house, for which I didn't resist.

"Let her go."

Brayden quickly shouted as he came towards us. Damian stopped in his tracks and put me behind him, glaring back at Brayden.

"What are talking about?"

I tell you I would really like to wipe the smirk off his face.

"She's coming with me willingly. Isn't that right? Amanda."

I looked from Damian to Brayden who was getting ready to attack. If I don't do something Brayden may get hurt, so I stepped out and said what I had to.

"It's okay Brayden. He and I have some things we need to work out, because we're living together." 

I did my best not let my voice quiver as I told my story as vaguely as possible. I grabbed Damian's arm and led him out of the house before anymore could be said. Damian led me to a luxury 4WD. I let go of his arm and climbed in the front passenger seat. I looked back through the back rear view window as Damian started the car to take us back to his house, holding a funny feeling, like I won't be seeing them again, not for a long time. There was silence in the car as we drove, not that I mind, the less I have to deal with him the better. I rested  my head on my arm and stared out the window at the increasing green scenery, letting me know we were close to his pack.

Damian P.O.V 

Every now and then I glared at her, not that she noticed. Although Jax is finally happy having her back with us, I'm seething with anger.  I can't believe her, having the nerve to ditch us at the mall, she's going to pay dearly for disobeying me and upsetting my sister, and I think I know how. We reached the pack in record time. Before she could even blink I dragged her to our room and locked the door. 

"Starting tomorrow, you will work with me and never leave my side." 

"What?"

"You heard me." 

I love that fire in her eyes, she wants to dispute it, but she stays quiet. 

"No excuses. Save your strength you'll need it for tomorrow."

The look on her face told me she wasn't to please with me, but no matter, this is going to be so much fun, for me anyway. I unlock the door and mind link a guard to keep an eye on her while I walk to my office, in order to work on a plan for her tomorrow. 

"Don't do anything stupid to hurt our mate Damian."

"I know that Jax. Still, there's nothing wrong with torturing her a little bit."
