“What did you do, Jayson? What is wrong with you? I just….. I can’t. Just GO!”
I had no idea whose voice I was hearing but she sounded angry. I realized I was no longer lying on cold hard ground but in a bed. I slowly opened my eyes and had no idea where I was, but I knew I was in somebody’s bedroom. I attempted to sit up and realized how much my body hurt.
“Hey, hey let me help.”
I turned to see a beautiful woman probably in her late 20’s with dark black hair and large dark brown eyes. That looked a lot like Jayson’s. I allowed her to help me sit up and gave me some water.
“Thank you” was all I could get out.
“My name is Camilla and I am Jayson’s sister. I am so sorry for his behavior.” She gushed
I gave her a weak smile but didn’t know what to say.
“So are you hungry? What do you like?” She asked with a huge smile on her face.
“Um, I honestly don’t know if I can handle any food, but whatever you have will be fine.” I whispered. For some reason it hurt to speak. And then I remembered and I reached to my neck where the silver ring had been.
Tears burned to escape but I held them back. I could feel the tenderness of my skin where it wasn’t healed. I figured this would be the case. Silver wounds will scar and they take the longest to heal. Me being in a weakened state would mean it would take longer.
Silver always left a scar and now I will have a scar given to me by my mate.
I looked up at Camilla to see her wipe away a few tears, but quickly composed herself. “Well, how about beef stew? I have it already simmering in the kitchen.”
“That will be fine.” I said before closing my eyes and wondering why I am still alive.
“Great! I can’t believe Jayson found his mate. I have always wanted a sister. We are going to be the best of friends.”
She kept talking but I wasn’t listening. I just needed to find a way out of this place and I needed to find it fast. He would end up killing me if I didn’t.
For the first time in my life, I wished I was back home with Alpha Damon. He had never hurt me the way my own mate had and I couldn’t stay and with that thought, tears began sliding down my face.
