Alpha Blood - free

chapter 10

they all just stood there staring at me for what seemed like eternity.

"What are you looking at?"

Lindie slowly stepped forward, "What was that?"

oh no.

"What was what?"

"Babe, your Aura."

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

"I need to go." I ran out the door. I ran all the way to my apartment. I didn't even bother looking for traffic. I just ran as fast as I could.

when I got to my apartment, I took the stairs two at a time. when I got to my door, I was fumbling with my keys, trying to open the door. when i finally got it opened, I ran to my room and grabbed my duffle bag, and started packing.

Uriah was right behind me, apparently, "What is going on?"

I ran around looking for my little ratty bookbag that I kept all the important stuff in.

"Don't worry about it, it's been fun. But I've got to go."

"I don't understand. Talk to me. why are you panicking? what was that, Aura? how did you command like you are an Alpha, but you don't have a pack?"

"Look! don't worry about it, I'll be out of your territory by sundown. tell Josiah I had to leave."

he tried to get me to stop moving so I would look at him, "Tell me, what is going on?"

I rolled my eyes, I didn't want to tell him the truth, and I didn't want to lie. so I broke away from him, "I reject you guys as Mates. blah blah blah. so go forth and be happy. else where."

just then. Josiah walked through the door as I said that part.

"Maggie! Stop moving and tell us what is going on."

why won't they leave me alone. why do they care what happens to me? or not to me. they don't need me to be around. they have lots of bed partners.

my wolf grumbled,

Look, we have been on the run for ten years. we are not strong enough to face him yet. if he finds us here then, then, then.

my breath caught in my throat, and it was all of a sudden very hard to breathe.

the world started getting black around the edges. both Uriah and Josiah can up to me one on each side.

"Breathe, baby, breathe." Josiah said as he rubbed my arm. "Look at me in the eyes."

I did, his beautiful green eyes filled with so much worry.

"Breathe in one, two, three. breathe out one, two, three." he was also breathing that way while counting. "Breathe in one, two, three. breathe out one, two, three."

we did that for a few minutes or a lifetime, but eventually, my body started to relax, and I could breathe again. Josiah pulled me onto his lap and just held me there on the floor. wrapped in his arms, I felt my walls come down, and I cried a little.

"You weren't supposed to see that. I wasn't supposed to lose control. I haven't lost control in years. No one is supposed to know."

my heart rate jumped back up again, and I tried to pull away from him so I could finish packing my bags and leave. he held me firmly in place.

"What is going on? why are you leaving. that power was amazing. why are you hiding it?" Uriah asked while placing a hand on my back and rubbing it in circles.

I looked at him through tear filled eyes.

"It wasn't supposed to be this way. it was just supposed to be a normal six months. maybe have some fun with some hot guys." they laughed at that, "then we part ways, and I disappeared and never come back."

they both growled at that.

Josiahs hands tightened around me, "You were going to leave? you belong to us, you're not going anywhere."

"Yeah, you say that now. This is still so new. but by the time six months came around, you would have left me, or I would have found a way to break it off. and you guys wouldn't have looked for me because why would you."

"You are our mate. and we are yours. otherwise, you wouldn't get so upset about Carly, and it wouldn't be both of us here, just one." Uriah tried to look me in my eyes, but I just looked at the floor. "Now, can you please tell us what is going on?"

they've only known me for a few hours. Why are they treating me like this?

Maybe he won't come. maybe he didn't notice. It was such a short burst of power.

can't I have one more day? Or another couple of days?

they wouldn't be saying all this if they knew who I was. The bounty on my head is too high.

I can't trust that they won't turn me in. they could reject me after I agreed that we were mates and I told them everything. They could use the mate bond against me and collect the money. they don't know me.

I'll have to distract them so I can run away later. as soon as I have an opportunity to run, I will.

I'm sorry, I apologized to my wolf, I know you want a mate. but it's not safe yet. we both know that. we aren't strong enough to fight him yet.

she whinned, but she understood.

one day, I promise we will find a mate and have pups. but not yet.

I looked at Uriah in the eye. They were filled with so much worry. I just placed my hands on his face and pulled him into a kiss. deepening it with all the sorrow I feel. Sorry for myself, sorry for what I'm about to do to them.

I pulled my shirt over my head and felt his hands wrap around my waste and pull me to him. Josiah started kissing my neck gently.

Uriah broke off our kiss, "Please tell us what is going on."

I kissed along his jaw, making him gasp.

"Whatever it is, we can help you." Josiah said.

I turned and kissed him with the same sorrow that I did his brother. I removed his shirt and started kissing his neck, making him moan.

they finally gave in and stopped trying to talk. Uriah started kissing my neck while running his hands up and down my sides and grabbing my stomach, dragging his nails on my skin a little.

I pulled Josiah closer to us so I could feel both their skin at the same time. as if scenting what I wanted, Uriah took off his shirt and pressed his chest to my back.

I need them both so much right now. my touch was filled with sorrow and goodbye. I wanted to spend more time with them. not just for the s*x, but I wanted to get to know these men. but I'll never know who they truly are. I ruined that chance. but I could have one last time with them. One last chance to feel them. One last chance to feel whole. One last chance.

One last kiss before I go.

When they entered me, I couldn't help the tears run down my face at the sorrow of never being with them. at this being our last time together.

I hope one day I can return and they still want me.
