Ancient Alpha Blood

Quick thinking

Jezz had no idea what was going on with her.  She felt full of butterflies looking at this guy, not that he was hard to look at it, but men never made her feel this way.  She tossed her hair back in earnest not just planned and smiled at him.  He was looking at her so intensely, but she did not feel scrutinized or intimidated by him.  She was drawn to him.  She could see the look on her sisters’ face of disbelief in her behavior, but she could not help it.  It was like she had no control as she reached out and touched his hand.

When their skin touched it sent a shock through her that she had never felt before.  She quickly pulled her hand back and he looked at her begging for her to touch him again.  Suddenly she could not breath, her muscles felt weak, and the room was spinning.  The look in his eyes was the last thing she saw as everything went dark.

Owen was standing there glad that Brenden was working with him and he was actually pulling this off with her.  She was imprinting on him and she did not even know it.  He knew he was imprinting on her and he loved each second.  She touched him; he almost flew out of his skin.  He knew that a mate’s touch was desirable, but he never could put this into words. The he saw something flash in her eyes, he saw her shoulders round, but she still held his gaze.  Her smile disappeared and then her eyes closed falling into his arms.  He looked up at the guy at the bar and he was just smiling.

“Looks like my free ride just pulled in.” He stood up and was going to touch Jezzabelle. 

Owen pulled her into his arm and ran outside with her.  “Nash, Nash! We need to get to a hospital right away.  My mates been drugged.” Dallas was trying to follow them, but the crowd closed in on her and she could not get out of the building.

Nash felt she was in danger. “Take the car.  I will find you.  Gods Speed Brother.” Nash headed into the bar.  As he entered, he could smell that she was close, he looked around and saw someone with a grey outfit on enter the ladies room.  He went and stood outside of it.  He waited and waited and then he decided to just go in.  As he entered, he saw her feet being pulled out of the window.  He easily jumped out of the window and saw two men running with her limp in their arms.

They tossed her in a black truck and was driving out of the parking lot when Nash jumped on the hood of the car.  He looked at the men and noted that they were werewolves.  They started swerving to get him off the hood of the trunk.  Nash started to punch at the windshield shattering it in one punch.  He was amazed at how strong he was.  He used his claws to peel back the windshield and then grabbed the guy in the passenger seat and threw him out on the road.  He looked over at the driver and he was pointing a gun point blank at him and just as he was about to shoot Nash Dallas pulled his arm and he missed. This gave Nash the upper hand and he pulled him out of his seat and tossed him on the road.  He quickly jumped in the driver’s seat and took control of the truck.

Adrenaline rush aside, he was not sure what just happened.  Was someone trying to kidnap her?  Was it just luck that he found her just in time or did he lead someone to her?  He pulled the truck over and looked back and she was passed out.  He turned the trunk around and headed for the hospital.

Owen broke the automatic doors as he rushed in the hospital emergency room.  “I need a doctor!  She has been poisoned.”  He did not even stop at the front desk; he just took her right to the back. Screaming at the top of his lungs.  Some older nurse tried to stop him but once she saw his eyes she backed away and went and got a doctor.

He set her up on a bed and started trying to pump her stomach all on his own.  The doctor rushed in and was about to assess her when Owen said with as much control as possible “She needs her stomach pumped, she has been drugged.” The nurses worked quickly, and Owen backed away from her to let them take over.  They slid the hose down her throat and began sucking the contents out of her stomach.  She also began throwing up violently.  The doctor order some medicine to stop the nausea and she seemed to stabilize a bit.  “All the contents in her stomach have been removed sir.  Now if you could come to the front desk to check in.”

“I am not leaving her.  I will as soon as my brother gets here.  He is on his way.”  Owen was holding her hand as he listened to the heart monitor beating normally. After a bit he heard some commotion out in the lobby, and he could feel that it was his brother. He looked down at his mate it was the first time he would have to choose between his mate and his brother.

The doors opened up and Nash was carrying in his mate.  Her body was lifeless hanging from his arms.  He had tears streaming down his face and the nurses and doctors surrounded him and took him into a different room.  There was flurry of activity and then it was all quiet.  Owen began praying for both their mates.

The door to Jezzabelles room opened and they wheeled in Dallas with Nash holding her hand. “They are twins, they might respond better if they were near each other.” The nurse said quietly, and you could see the empathy in her eyes and Owen appreciated her caring gesture.

Nash worked quietly putting down the rails on the side of the bed that they shared and pushed them together.  He gently reached over and touched their hands together and then sat down.  Owen watched the careful way he touched them, how much it meant to him that they both get better. “What happened Dude?” Owen finally asked.

“I don’t know.  I don’t know what happened with you, but my mate was trying to follow you out and a crowd gathered around her and pulled her back in.  I followed her into the bathroom where they were kidnapping her out of the window.  I pulled a James Bond move jumping on the hood of the car and ripped the windshield off with strength I did not even know I had.  I think Colton had a lot to do with.” Nash was quiet as he looked at his mate.  He did not even know her name. “The strangest thing was that I was getting shot, there was no two ways about it, but my mate reached up and saved my life.  How do you suppose she could do that while drugged?”

“Her name is Dallas.  I know because my mates name is Jezzabelle and Dallas was the other name on the email.” Owen and Nash just sat in silence for several hours.  Staring at their mates.  Hoping that they come around soon. Owen could see the thoughts turning around and around in his brother’s mind.

“Do you think this is deliberate?” Owen had an uneasy feeling about the events of the evening.

“The men that tried to abduct Dallas.” He paused for a moment, that was the first time her name came off his lips. “They were one of us.” Nash confirmed.

“I wonder if the guy at the bar was one of us too then?” Owen paused for a moment. “It seems suspicious anyway.”

“It will have to take some digging.” Nash rubbed his thumb over the back of Dallas’ hand that he was holding. He had wanted their first-time meeting to be so different from this, he wanted to swoon her and romance her.  He wanted to let her fall for him.  Now their first time seeing each other will be in a hospital bed.  She was beautiful.  He was lucky.  Her long black hair had come lose from the nights events and he could see its length.  She took his breath away.

Suddenly she stirred, grabbing on to his hand her eyes opened.  They were amber eyes and Colton felt her wolf stir.  ‘It’s her wolf.’ Colton said as they locked eyes. She was imprinting on him and he on her. She held his gaze looking into the depths of his soul.  “Thank you for saving my life, mate.” Then her eyes closed again, and her grip loosened. Nash’s heart stirred at her words and he smiled to himself. He leaned forward and whispered in her ear “Thank you for saving my life as well, mate.” She smiled in her sleep at his words.

“What in the hell.” Jezz began waking up in typical Jezz fashion, like a thunderstorm.  She looked down at her hand in Owens’ and then looked up at him.  She pulled her hand away so she could sit up better and then grabbed back on to it.  “What happened?  You made me swoon so hard that I passed out or what?” She was half smiling half serious looking at Owen.  She trusted him completely for some reason. “Did that creep drug my drink?  Is that why you wanted to buy a new one?  Then what happened?” She was looking right into Owen’s eyes asking questions and he was stunned.  It took him a moment and then got his composure.

“Yes, I believe he drugged your drink.  You passed out into my arms and I carried you to the hospital and here we sit.” Owen leaned forward looking her in the eyes and noticed that they were amber and not the dark brown they were last night.

“I will find that SOB and punish him.  Nobody drugs my Jezzy.” She looked at him “Nobody makes my mate worry so much and gets away with it.” She smiled at him and then her eyes shifted back and Jezzablle was clearly at a loss for words.

‘Jezzy Brenden said in Owens head. I like that.’ Owen just rubbed her hand with his huge hands, and they looked at each other for a moment. “I am Owen Brekston.  I am here on business and we met at the bar.  I could not help but notice your beauty when I approached you.  Then things went crazy, but I like crazy.  Crazy is fun as long as nobody gets hurt.” Owen gave her a sheepish smile that made Jezz blush.

“Well thank you for saving me.  I am in debt to you.” Jezzabelle could feel her heart racing in her chest, and she thought she was going to explode so she was trying to be cool. She never wanted him to leave her side.  She loved how her hand felt in his and for the first time in her life she wanted a man’s touch.  She was a terrible flirt, but she never found anyone that could reach beyond that.  For some reason she wanted more from this guy.  So much more the thought made her blush in earnest this time.  Little did she know that Owen could read her thoughts since they imprinted on each other and this made his heart skip a beat.  She was going to be only his, even this late in life.
