Chapter 10: Your back...

Chapter 10: Your back...

I felt Jayden place me on a soft mattress but the movement sent a jolt of pain shooting through my side. I began to sit up but I felt his hand on my shoulder holding me in place.

"You're hurt. You need to stay still. I'll go call Doctor Winters and tell him you're awake, he can look at your side."

I looked into his grey green eyes and I could see his worry for me on his face. I shook my head and pushed his hand away. I bit down on my lip and pushed myself into a sitting position. Jayden sat on the edge of the bed with his jaw clenched. I noticed I was back inside his room and his black sheets were pulled back.

"You are forgetting what I can do." I said gasping for air. The struggle to breath was due to the cracked ribs and bruising when I fell.

"Please Layla, listen to me. Lay back and I'll go get Doctor Winters." he pleaded but he needed to understand that I was not going to sit and wait around for someone else.

"If you want to help go get me a change of clothes. Leave me for a few minutes. I can heal myself." I said placing my hand on his shoulder and slightly pushing him back.

"Go."

"Ten minutes and that's it. If you are still in pain then I am taking you to the hospital." he said and stormed out of the room fuming with anger.

I watched him leave but I knew I only had ten minutes to myself so I had to use every last second of it.

I was still wearing the black dress but the chains on my back and the fabric on my waist were torn. I pulled the dress up and saw the blackish blue bruise on my side. I placed my hand on the bruise and bit down on the sheets to prevent myself from screaming out in pain. I felt the bone healing and when I could breathe without much pain I moved on to the bruises left on my neck from when he held me against the wall. I healed most of my cuts and bruises but I could still feel numbness from the broken rib.

I heard a knock on the door and Jayden walked in. He was carrying a pair of shorts and a black t-shirt.

"I couldn't really find anything comfortable without going through all of your clothes so I got some of my old clothes that should fit you." He said and walked towards me. He sat back down on the side of his bed and reached forward to caress my cheek. His feather-like touch sent chills through my spin and I could feel him stiffen when he felt the sparks between us.

He came closer and whispered, "How are you feeling?"

His voice had gotten deeper and his eyes had lowered to meet my own in an intimate and scandalous way. I turned away from his hand but he caressed my cheek with his thumb.

"Don't turn away from me." he said grabbing my hand in his other hand that rested beside my thigh. "You have no idea how scared and angry I was when I saw that man standing over you. I was torn between killing him for what he did to you and helping you get to safety. Never in my life have I ever felt so helpless than in that moment."

Only an inch was left between us and our breaths were mixing in front of our mouths. His alluring scent brought me closer to him and drove my senses wild. All I wanted to do was kiss him and let him ravish my body with his soft touch.

He drew nearer and kissed me on my cheek and trailed light kisses to my ear. His breath was blowing against my earlobe and my body was burning with want for him.

He had me on a silver platter and he could do anything to me without my protest. I closed my eyes welcoming his touch, I was lost in my desire for him.

"I know how much you are drawn to me. Trust me I feel the same desire and lust for you as you do for me but I want to give you the choice of choosing your mate. I won't claim you as mine or make a move on you." he said and drew back enough for me to look into his eyes. My face was flush from his proximity and from how willing I was to give my body to him a moment ago.

I pulled back and stuttered failing miserably at acting unaffected by him, "C-can you step o-outside? I need to c-change."

He nodded and closed the door behind him.

I drew in long breaths to calm my hormones and placed my hands on my cheeks, they were burning hot.

I stood up and slipped out of the dress. I pulled on the shorts and the black shirt Jayden had brought in. I folded the dress and placed it on his dresser. I unwound my hair and let it cascade down my back looking for a brush to untangle the wayward strands. I pulled a hair tie off my wrist and tied up my hair away from my face. I heard the door open behind me and saw Jayden enter.

He had changed as well. Instead of wearing his black jeans and navy blue button down shirt he was wearing a pair of sweatpants that were hanging dangerously low on his waist and a tight black t shirt that outlined his perfect chest. All I wanted to do was run my hands over his chest and feel the perfect body that was destined to be mine. I saw his eyes had darkened with desire and within a second he had crossed the room, pinning me against the wall beside his dresser.

His hands were gripping my hips and my hands found their way to his shoulders. In a husky voice he said, "If you keep looking at me like that I won't be able to hold up my end of the deal."

"Then don't." I said and looked down at his lips.

"Ah fuck it!"

His lips crashed down on mine and were working their magic breaking down any restraints I had holding me back. I moaned into the kiss and drew him closer with my arms that were now wrapped around his neck. His lips moved against mine and soon I found myself kissing him back with the same desperation as he was. He growled and bent down slightly to wrap his hands around my legs. He pulled me up against him and I wrapped my legs around his waist, wanting him closer than ever.

"You are mine." he said between kisses. He sucked on my lower lip and bit down demanding access. I opened my mouth willingly and felt his skillful tongue against my own. I followed his movement and massaged my own against his. I felt his chest vibrate with satisfaction and I tilted my head for better access. He tasted amazing and I knew there wasn't anyone else who could make me feel the way he did.

His mouth trailed kisses along my collarbone and his sinful tongue brought my earlobe into his mouth. He bit down and I moaned in ecstasy. I was never touched by a man like this before so every touch burned a fire in my core than made me want him more. I brought my hands to his shirt and tried to pull it off him exposing the chest that I was desperate to touch. He growled but smiled against my skin and said beside my ear, "Not yet babe."

He let go of my legs and in order prevent myself from falling I tightened my legs around him and brought him closer to my core. I moaned at the contact and he grabbed my hands and held them above my head. He captured my lips in another heated kiss. My breasts were pressed against his chest and my entire body was on fire. I withered with want in his hold and I felt one of his hand under my shirt. In a fluid movement he brought my shirt up to his other hand and threw is across the room. Without breaking the kiss he grabbed my hips and laid me down on the bed. My hair had come undone and now laid around me. I opened my eyes waiting for him to continue kissing me when I saw him staring at my stomach.

"That mother fucking asshole!" he said with anger boiling inside him.

I sat up and placed my hand on his cheek, "He will pay for what he did. But his day is not today."

He placed his hand over mine and leaned forward giving me a sweet kiss that made me lightheaded. I smiled against his lips and feeling courageous flipped him over when he wasn't expecting it and brought my lips down on his. I kissed him biting his lip wanting to pick up where we left off.

"Babe you drive me crazy and no matter how badly I want you right now, I think we should stop." he said breathing heavy and stopping between words.

I sat up and since I was straddling him I was sitting on his lower abs. I knew he was right because now was not the time and I wasn't ready for that no matter how much I wanted him. I stood up and looked for my shirt that he had thrown away and found it hanging off the bathroom door across his room. We both saw it the same time and when I looked back at him I saw him smirking with a knowing looking on his face.

I turned around and when I did I knew I made a huge mistake.

"Your back!" I heard Jayden say I knew it was too late. I continued walking and pulled on my shirt covering my back.

"Who did this to you? What happened Layla?!"

Jayden stood behind me and I turned around not being able to look at his face, "It's a long story."

"Tell me I want to know. And then I want to murder the one who did this to you!" He growled.

"As you know Alpha Neal is my father, however, he is not my biological father. My parents were killed by hunters, or so I thought, seven years ago. This all started when I was sixteen and didn't shift."

I saw his shocked face and continued my story. I told him about Kegan, Andrew, and Tony. I told him about how happy and cheerful my life once was and when it took a turn for the worst. When I told him Kegan was to blame for my scars he stiffened and I could see the rage in his eyes.

"He wanted me to remember who was superior. Alpha Neal took a liking to me even without a wolf and there was talk of appointing me as possible Alpha-to-be because we did not have anyone who possessed the Alpha gene. He beat me and left me one day. Warning me to never think or even imagine a life other than a pack reject. I was seventeen I didn't have my ability to heal so I had to let my injuries heal normally. That is why I have scars, to remind me what I am."

I didn't realise when I started crying but I felt Jayden wipe my tears and pull me in for a tight hug.

"Tonight, when I was attacked by that man he told me he knew my parents, my real parents. He said he killed them. He said they were a hurdle in his plan and that he had to kill them." I said against his shoulder.

"Shh" Jayden ran his hand through my hair trying to calm my sobs.

"He said he will be back for me and since he knows where I am his plan has become easier." I whispered the fear sinking in.

Jayden's body stiffened.

"You are not safe here." he said. I pulled away and looked up at his face.

"Layla, first thing tomorrow morning we are talking to my father and you're going back to your pack. I'm not letting him get to you and I'm not letting you go back to your pack alone either."
