The Alphas' Chimaera

The Great Escape

Kassandra pov (one week ago)

Pain. All I can feel is pain in my head, my heart and my soul. How could Elias do something like that to me? I believed him when he said it was over. He said that it was just going to be me, him and James. It was a good thing James was there to save me. He got me out of there and I am unsure where I am, but I know James will protect me from all this pain.

I roll over in the giant king size bed to see James lying there looking at me. “How are you doing?” he asks, and the memories come flooding back. I can feel the hot tears slowly starting to fall down my face. “Don’t cry, he’s not worth it.” His hands felt soft on my face as he wipes the tears away. I nod in his hands and clutch on to his shirt like it was a baby blanket. “I just don’t understand he said that he loved me and that he would protect me.” I choke out through sobs. “Kass don’t do that to yourself. He is a jerk. He did this to you that first time you met it’s no surprise that he did it again. How about I get us some food and you relax here in bed?”

His words sound so carrying and sweet just like the day in the kitchen. I gently nod and he leaves the room with a big smile. Jess is trying to comfort Alex, but she is hurts more than I do. I can feel her howl in soar and Jess having this warm feeling. Its conflicting and confusing and it is tearing me up inside and I feeling like I’m falling apart. “Why is this happening to me?” I ask aloud clutching at the sheets and silently screaming into the pillow letting the burning tears soak into the fabric.

“Is there anything I can get you?” a female voice comes out of nowhere. “Who are you?” I ask not bothering to move from my fetal position. “The name is Sammy, James asked me to drop off these pancakes and ask if there was anything you need?” she sets the food on the nightstand closest to me. And just waits. I look up at her and notice her pixie red hair and all black outfit. “Um, no I don’t need anything. Thank you.” I say but she doesn’t move, just watches me. Its starting to get weird how much she is staring at me.

“Can I help you?” I ask her really confused. “You know if my mate did that to me, I would reject him. You have someone else that really cares about you. You’re so lucky to have two mates. I would just leave Elias.” I can’t help but feel completely flabbergasted. “I’m sorry, when did my life become your business?” I’m angry, like a bubbling volcano angry. I want nothing more then to rip her head off. “I... James...” she tries but I interrupt. “Leave. I don’t care what you have to say, just leave.” I say aggressively pointing to the door. “Get me James, I want to see Elias.” She freezes just before the door. “That won’t be happening. James killed him in a fit of rage.” She says and I can feel my heart back again.

I can’t believe in my heart I know he’s not dead. How could James do that to me? I love him. I can’t be around him. I can’t have him touch me with the same hands that murdered my mate. I must leave I need to get out of here. I quickly get out of the bed and run out the door. Poking my head out of the door I check the long hallway to make sure no one is coming. When it feels safe enough to bolt down. I have no idea if I chose the right way, but I need to get out of her. I need to see Elias, whether its his body or him.

I turn a corner I slam straight into a hard surface. I end up on my ass staring up James. “Where are you going?” he asks. He is clearly mad. “How could you?” I yell with tears falling out again. “How could I what?” he asks c*****g his head slightly to the side. “You killed him! You killed Elias! I loved him.” I say standing up. “He hurt you I couldn’t have that.” James said walking closer to me. I take just as many steps back to keep him at a distance. “I love him. I want him. Take me home so I mourn him.” I demand and I can see the fire ignite in his eyes. “You will reject him. You will remove the mark from your body, or I will make you.” He demands rushing towards me. I try to run but he was faster and pins me against the wall. “Say it!” he shouts in my face causing me to flinch and cry harder. His grip on me tightens and I shake my head with my eyes glued shut.

Pain, all I can feel is pain as his hand moves swift across my face. “Last chance.” He growls and I take a deep breath. With a shaky voice I say. “I, Kassandra Kane, reject…” I take another breath. I know what I must do. “James…” then pain. Much more pain. I can’t see straight and the pain in my temple is excruciating. “Wrong answer.” He says and more pain comes. It doesn’t stop till the entire world fades to black and I am embraced by cold comforting arms.
