The Jade Wolf Prophecy

Chapter Thirteen- Brandon POV

    When we found out that Rose had been taken out from under our noses, I completely lost control. I wanted blood for my mate being gone. It took both my dad and Darrell to hold me back from killing absolutely everyone in my path. Once I was calm enough my dad started asking the guards what happened, it seemed like a certain she-wolf was yet involved in distracting the guards again. That she-wolf just so happened to be Alicia, Max’s daughter and Rose’s best friend. 

    One of the warriors said he saw Alicia run off our pack lands to the south, but he didn’t question her because they had just finished being intimate. I mean seriously, how many of these guys has she been with at this point.

    It felt great having my mate back in my arms. She was curled up next to me asleep. The bruises on her face were almost healed from where that bastard punched her. What type of man can do such a thing is beyond me. I can’t wait to rip him into pieces. 

    Rose began to stir a little bit, I let her rest as much as possible because I knew how stressed and weakened she was when we got her back. I hope all the wolfsbane she was injected with won’t have a long term effect on her. 

    “Mmm.” She said stretching. Then she sat up abruptly and looked around. Scooting to the edge of the bed. 

    “Relax you’re in my room Rose. You fell asleep on the car ride home.” I stated plainly. 

    Finally she looked at me, a calmness washed over her once she realized everything was okay. She still looked pale, but her bright green eyes were as alluring as they were the first time I saw her. 

    “Thank you for coming to rescue me.” She whispered. 

    “You’re my mate, nothing could have stopped me from getting you back. But I must say, you were doing a good job rescuing yourself.” I said proudly. My little mate was amazing. 

    “Oh my goddess, I forgot about them! Where are they?” She asked. 

    “They are in the dungeons waiting for judgement. I made everyone wait until you woke up to be part of the decision, since it all happened to you.” I stated. 

    “Jason spoke about someone else hunting me, who is it?”

    “I interrogated him for hours while you slept, but he never gave us a name. All we know is he worked for someone powerful, someone he fears more than losing a few fingers.” I said, seeing her grimace. 

    “Was Jason the one doing the attacks on the town?” She said. 

    “No, there has been more even after having Jason and Alicia imprisoned.” I said, she remained quiet for a while. 

    “Do we have to kill them? They are still living people Brandon. I’ve known Alicia my own life.” She asked. Was she really trying to protect them? 

    “Rose, they kidn*pped you and drugged you. Have you even heard from Jasmine yet? And you want them to live?” I said, getting more and more frustrated. How could she want these two to live after what happened. 

    “I just don’t think death is the answer.” She said, not answering about if she can communicate with her wolf or not. 

    “Jason is going to die today, no matter what Rose. He took you from me. Do not stand up for him.” I yelled, making her flinch. 

    I had to get out of the room and walk away. I felt like she was choosing him. I know she wasn’t but she wants him to live. For what so he can kidnap her again or stalk me more. 

    I needed to go for a run, I ran down the long staircase in the packhouse, leading to the door. Once outside, I lifted my head towards the morning sunlight, the cool air hitting me, calming me down. I shifted and let Adonis run through the forest. We both needed this. 

    We ran for a couple hours, but my dad mindlinked me saying we had unexpected guests. So I rushed back and went to my room. 

    Rose was sitting on the little loveseat in the corner of the room. She stood up as soon as she saw me. 

    “Are you going to reject me?” She said her voice sounded so small and broken. It broke my heart. 

    “Of course not. Rose I care deeply about you. I lost my mind when you were gone. I wanted to kill everyone. I just got worked up thinking about it again and how you want them to live.” I said, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her into a hug. Her body instantly reacted to my touch and she relaxed, melting into me. 

    “I need to shower, then we can go down and have breakfast with the pack. They all deserve to get to know their future Luna.” I said, smiling down to her. 

    After a few attempts to get her willing to shower with me, I went and showered quickly. We headed downstairs to the dining room hand and hand. I couldn’t be happier.
