The Blessed Friends

Chapter 3

Kristie’s POV:

I was asleep for a couple hours when I felt an arm go around my side. And I felt something cold around my neck. Then I realized it was sharp and that it was a knife. All I could smell was alcohol and I knew whoever it was, they were drunk.

“I thought I wouldn’t find you. You thought I wouldn’t find you. You are so wrong. And you are going to regret sending me to jail.” He whispered in my ear. It was John. He found me.

“Do not make a sound, I know Becca is in there. If you try anything, I WILL kill you. I will kill everyone in this house.” He pressed the knife further into my throat and kissed my neck.

“We were meant to be together. To live together. To be together. To die together. That’s how this story ends for us.” He started to pull my pajama pants down and slid them down to my knees.

“Remember, your not allowed to make one sound. Or this will end badly. For you, and Becca.” He was going to use the only thing I had left against me. She had nothing to do with this. He unzipped his pants and pulled them down with his boxers. He kissed my neck again with the knife still pressed to my throat. He shifted it to the side and pushed me onto my stomach. He held the knife at the side of my throat and pulled my panties down. His d**k was already hard and I was dry as the desert. He spit on it and then his hand and rubbed it inbetween my folds for lubrication. He laid on top of me and kissed my neck again. He positioned his d**k at my entrance and in one quick move, he thrust himself into me.I  wanted to scream, but I knew if I made a sound, he would kill me. I closed my eyes and waited for it to be over. He was so drunk he only lasted maybe three minutes. 

He held the knife to my throat the entire time, never once letting me making a sound or move. He pulled out and released all over my back. He must of been too drunk because he slouched over and past out.This was my moment to get out and get help. I tried to move but my legs wouldn’t let me. I looked for the knife and saw it was still in his hand. I went to take it and he moved. But when he did, he swung the knife and went back to sleep. I felt pain in my side, and knew he had stabbed me. I didn’t know if it was intentional. I pushed my face into the pillow and cried. I didn’t know how I was going to get out of here.

I heard Becca’s door open and then the front door. I looked at the clock, it was five a.m. so she should be asleep. I needed to get to my phone and let her know to get help. I couldn’t risk her getting caught up in this mess.I turned over and saw John was still asleep and pushed his shoulder. He didn’t move. I needed courage and I needed it now. I pushed my face back into the pillow and grabbed the knife. I winced at the pain but in one swift motion, I pulled it out. It was a small knife, maybe a three inch blade, but it did a lot of damage. I knew I needed stitches and I was losing blood, but thankfully not fast enough to kill me.

I waited a minute to see if John woke up and he didn’t. I looked at him sleeping and slowly moved to the side of the bed. I told myself to go or I was going to die. I needed strength. I could do this. I forced myself up and held onto my side. It hurt so bad but I wasn’t going to give up.I held the knife in my hand as I walked, well basically stumbled backwards to the door. My legs were shaking from the assault and I knew I would need my bits looked at as well if I survived. I kept watching him and turned to open the door. He was still asleep. I slowly opened the door and kept watching him. I wasn’t going to let my eyes go off of him. I made my way through the living room to the kitchen and checked. He was still sleeping. I got to my phone and texted Becca.

“I need help. Bring help. DO NOT REPLY. John is here. He hurt me. I’m going to die.”

I waited for it to deliver and then deleted it in case he took my phone. I got word to someone. Hopefully it would be over soon. I checked again and he was still asleep. I made a glass of water and went back to the rom, the knife still in my hand.I stool beside him, contemplating on if I should just kill him. My life would officially be worry free if he were gone. I raised the knife up and began to bring it down when he woke up and grabbed my wrist midway. Without warning he grabbed me and threw me against the wall.

“You thought you would kill me? Oh sweetie, you aren’t that strong.” John laughed while standing over me. He began kicking me in the side where he stabbed me. I could feel the blood oozing out of the gash. He then grabbed my throat and started slapping me in the face. I felt my lip split open and blood was leaking into my mouth. Then he punched me. I was starting to see stars and the light was fading. I was going to pass out but I hoped help would arrive soon.John didn’t know I had sent anyone a text message so it would catch him off guard. I didn’t make a sound the whole time to make sure he thought Becca was still asleep. He dropped me and kicked me one more time in the ribs. He went to the door and turned back to me.

“Becca could of been avoided but you had to try something.”

“She isn’t even here. She left. Just leave her out of this.”

“Even better.” He walked slowly towards me as I tried to sit up, but my strength was fading fast. I was going to die. Then I heard the front door open.

“Be quiet. Just like I told you.” He whispered in my ear. I heard multiple footsteps and talking.

“Did Becca bring someone here? Did you say something to her?” He pulled the knife back out and held it to my throat again.

“Did you?”

“No. I don’t even have my phone. It’s in the kitchen.” He seemed to believe me because he turned his attention back to the door. I heard Becca’s bedroom open and I heard two men with her. I hoped she had gotten the text but maybe I deleted it too fast. John began to grab my wrist and drag me back to the bed when we heard whoever in Beccas room scream. It was a man and he sounded angry.

Within five seconds, Jasper had kicked down my door and stood in my doorway. John was frozen but still had the knife to my throat. He dropped me to the floor and looked at Jasper. Then another man appeared beside Jasper and he took my breath away. I could smell something amazing. It was a warm woody base. The fresh and fruity top notes of apple and citrus were perfectly balanced with cinnamon and cloves.

Without warning, the man lunged at John, grabbing him by the throat. John dropped me and the man looked at me with such sad eyes. But I felt a spark when we looked at each other. He dragged him straight out of the bedroom and Becca and Jasper came to my side. I heard a scream and then a crack, but Becca kept my focus on her.

“Kristie, can you hear me? I didn’t have my phone! I’m so sorry!”

“Kristie, you gotta keep your eyes open!” Jasper was yelling too.

“Move.” The other man appeared behind them and Jasper nodded stepped to the side, taking Becca with him. She turned into his chest and cried. He picked her up and carried her out the door. The man took off his jacket and wrapped it around me, his scent immediately calming me down. He knelt down and picked me up bridal style and his eyes went white.

“I’m taking you to the hospital, please, you have to stay awake.” He whispered in my ear, and his voice was like a sweet song that filled my head.

“I’m tired.” That was all I managed to say. I hadn’t noticed he was walking very fast and had already made it outside. There was black SUV and a man and woman standing beside it.

“Alpha, we brought this like you asked and a hospital room is ready at the hotel. What else do you need from us?” The man said.

“Nothing else, Jacob. You and Desi take the rest of the night off after you dispose of that piece of s**t in their house.” He put his attention back to me.

“I know you are tired, but you have to stay awake. You can do it.”Jacob looked at me and gently brushed the hair out of my face.

“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, it’s truly an honor.” I looked at Caleb confused and started seeing stars again.

“Jasper, door please.” Jasper opened the door and he stepped in the car never letting me down and Jasper and Becca got in the front seat. I started to fall asleep again, but Caleb managed to keep me awake until we got to the doctor.We went inside and everyone bowed. Who was I with, royalty? We made it to the elevator and were met with an elderly woman.

“Alpha, I have the room ready for you. Let’s go.”

Alpha? I thought his name was Caleb? Was that his last name. I saw Jasper and Becca give each other a look. My eyes were getting very heavy and I was fighting to stay awake. As if Caleb sensed it, he rubbed my temple and kissed my cheek. The sparks woke me up instantly. I tried to grab my cheek, but my whole body hurt as soon as I moved, and I let out a little whimper.

“Don’t move too much, love. It will feel better soon. I promise.” He said as we entered a room that was identical to a hospital. He laid me down on the bed and the woman came back in the door. Caleb approached her and whispered in her ear and she shook her head yes.She came to my bedside and began writing things down.

“Hello, my name is Dr. Lucy.”

She had a warm smile.She took my temperature, checked my pupil dilation, my heart rate, all the normal things doctors do.

“Caleb, I need to check her stomach and other things. Would you like to step out?” She asked. Before Caleb could answer, I grabbed his hand, almost as a reflex.

“Please stay.” I said groggily, to which he replied with a smile.

Calebs POV:

I couldn’t believe I found my mate. She was so small and beautiful, Nash could sense her soul and she was pure of heart with no ill or evil intentions in her body. Jasper and I were brothers and we were the blessed wolves. We both had special powers that the Moon Goddess bestowed upon us. We both can read minds and we can sense of someone has good or bad intentions, but I can control water and the earth elements while Jasper can control the weather and persuade anyone to do anything he wants. We only used these in battle, but we may or may not have read our mates minds at some point. They were both smart and we admired their strength.I could tell Kristie was strong, but all I wanted to do was protect her. She seemed so broken right now, but I promised myself and Nash that we would make her whole again.Doctor Lucy was about to start inspecting her worst injuries and asked if I wanted to leave. Of course I didn’t, but I wanted to give Kristie space.

“Please stay.” She said as she grabbed my hand. I smiled and cupped her chin in my other hand. Dr. Lucy lifted up her gown and saw the gash on her stomach. She touched the skin around it and Kristie let out a cry.

“I’m going to need to clean this out and stitch it up. But it didn’t cause any internal damage. I just need to check down there okay?” Kristie nodded her head and lifted her legs up on into the stirrups. Dr. Lucy shook her head and sighed.

“Sweetie, I’m afraid your going to bed a couple stitches down there as well but it will be healed in four to six weeks.” She paused, “Caleb, can we have a word?” I looked at Kristie who had tears in her eyes and kissed her forehead.

“I’ll be right back okay?”She nodded her head and let go of my hand. I walked out and before the doctor could say anything, I asked her, “Can they go and be with her so she isn’t alone?”

“Yes! Of course! Please, I’m sure she doesn’t want to be alone right now.”

Becca and Jasper went into her room and Kristie started crying. I closed the door because I couldn’t bare to see my mate so upset and hurt.

“So, what’s the damage truly?” I asked her concerned.

“I’m not going to lie to you, she has old scars that concern me. Do you know where they came from?” I sighed.

“I’m pretty sure they cane from her ex, but I killed that son of a b***h when I met him earlier.”

“I see, well she may not be able to get pregnant. I won’t know for sure until she has healed fully. And I can tell she has some internal wounds that will take a lot of time to heal. Be patient with her. She reminds me of someone, but I can’t put my finger on it.” I nodded my head, I couldn’t believe it. I found my mate, and we might not even be able to have a family. If I had found her one day before, if I had stayed at the restaurant, I could of found her. I could have protected her.

Do not blame yourself, Caleb. We have found our mate now, we can protect her.I know Nash, but I’m scared. She is human. There is going to be a lot for her to take in.I have spoken to Selene. She is special, trust the Moon Goddess.What do you mean? I know we were blessed but that doesn’t mean they are. Our mate is a human, did you forget that?And did you forget we can change her into one of us?Nash, no. That’s not an option. Sixty percent of the time, it kills the human who is trying.Why would the Moon Goddess bless us with a human who couldn’t handle it?

Nash paused and waited.

Selene, please help guide Caleb and show him what I mean.

As if she heard his words, a bright light appeared in front of me. No one else around me seemed to notice or be phased by it. I was going crazy. A beautiful woman appeared in the middle of the light. She had long white hair and wore a long flowy white dress. She spoke with such grace and seemed like she was floating on air.

“My child, what is troubling you?” She said.

“My mate, she is human and Nash said she is special and that you told him so. I want to know how.”

“Time will show you the truth, but trust the road ahead of you. I chose her for you for a reason. I chose Becca for Jasper for a reason. In time, you will learn the true meaning. But I would recommend turning your mate soon. It is dire to the future.” Before I could say anything, she was gone. I couldn’t believe what just happened.

I told you.Shut up Nash.

I pushed him to the back of my mind and joined the others with Kristie. I knew I needed to tell her the truth. And I knew she was already questioning a lot based on how fast her mind was racing.

“I’m going to cut to the chase here. I know you wanna ask them questions, so just do it.” Becca said to Kristie. Kristie laid there with a confused look.

“I was wondering why I was so attracted to Jasper and why once I met him, I couldn’t let him go.” Becca said. Kristie looked even more confused but she was taking in every word Becca was saying. Maybe I should let Becca talk.

“Jasper was so fast and it seemed like he was always in the right spot, and we have literally everything in common. And the sparks I feel when we touch drives me crazy.” Becca continued.

“Why do I feel that with Caleb?” Kristie asked. I raised my hand and took hers in mine. I took a deep breath and spoke softly.

“Jasper and I are werewolves.” Kristie looked at Becca who just shook her head.

“I didn’t believe them at first, but I had this weird feeling. And I’m not scared either. I am Jaspers mate, which to us is a soulmate. And you, well you are Calebs.” Becca said cheerfully. Kristie looked like she was in shock, but she simply nodded her head. What came out of her mouth next was not what I expected.

“I want to meet him.”
