Secretly Mine by Me =/ (the gingerbread man read aloud .TXT) 📖

arms and she gulps. My eyes move down her body to find more on her stomach and legs. How didn't I notice last night.

"It's not a big deal..." She whispers.

"Not a big deal?? Not a big deal?? Alex your going to fucking die and you think its not a big deal?? You must not care about anyone but yourself! I can't believe you! They knew too! God why can't you tell me anything?!" I let her go and slightly push her back.

"Jac-"

"No! Just don't! I... I can't." I quickly grab my clothes from the floor and put them on.

"Jackson please! I'm not going to die! I've already had this conversation! Please! Jackson!" She rushes to get her own clothes on, while I storm out the door. 

"I'm going for a run." I lie. I'm out the front door in a flash and turn into my wolf before running. Running away.

Chapter thirty-five

 ~Alex~

 

"Where is he??" I slide into the living room while tears fill my vision.

"He just went on a run. Calm down hun." My mom smiles at me.

"No! He... He found out! He's not coming back! God! Why was I so stupid?!" I'm out the door in a flash with all of the adults close behind. My wolf takes over as we dart in the direction of his scent. Now that we've marked each other, masking our scents won't work. I run and run, not paying attention to my surroundings until I hear low growls around me. I'm soon aware of my parents and his parents by me. I look around and panic when I realize we are trespassing.

'Dad...? What do we do?'

'Just follow my lead.' He turns back to human form and I take control back from my wolf, following him. My mom, Myah and Ashton do the same as the other wolves soon follow.

"I apologize for trespassing on your land. I'm alpha Steele. My daughter here, is looking for her mate and followed him this way. You wouldn't happen to know where he is would you?" My father says formally. The wolves just look back and forth between each other before I feel something hard hit the back of my head and everything fade away.

 

~Jackson~

 

Everything is a bit hazy as I open my eyes before the memories come flooding back. I was running not caring where I was when wolves surrounded me. I was knocked out and here I am. A familiar scent causes me to open my eyes further and quickly scan the room.

"Alex!" I whisper shout. "Alex, wake up! It's me!" She sqeezes her eyes tighter before slowly opening them.

"Jackson!" She sighs in relief before she realizes we are strapped to the chairs with metal coated with wolfsbane. Its like kryptonite for wolves. "Mom, dad." She says attempting to get them up. Soon, everyone is up and we try to come up with a way out, but through the bond incase they are listening.

'Dad, just escaping won't work. It's wolfsbane, not Windex.' She says rolling her eyes at his latest suggestion.

'Its better than nothing.' He snaps back at her. Just then, a man comes into the room and gives us an evil grin when he sees all of us awake.

"Ahh good, you're awake." He says. I notice Alex's eyes widen as she looks at the man.

She turns looks me directly in the eye while sending, 'Hes the guy from my dream.' 

Chapter thirty-six

 ~Alex~

 

He comes over to me and strokes my cheek causing low growls coming from all of us.

"Calm down. Jeeze. You'll all go free. Well, almost all." He looks down at me when he says the last part and Jackson starts to fight against the chains, which does him no good but he still tries.

"Don't touch her!" He growls. The man drifts over to Jackson who is still fighting his chains.

"I'll touch her how ever I want." Jackson, my dad, and Ashton growl at him while my mom and Myah let out little whimpers. I just stare at him while contemplating how to get out of it. "Hmmm, what's this?" He says moving the collar of Jackson's shirt to fully expose his mark. My dad looks at me, but not mad like I would have thought. For the first time in his life, he looked scared. Horrified. I remove my gaze from my father as the man begins walking back to me. He moves my collar over too and strokes my mark. Unlike when Jackson touches me, with this man, all I felt was repulsed.

"Stop touching her!" Jackson yells with a whimper at the end. Tears fill my eyes as the man rips the hoodie down the middle leaving me in only a bra on my top half. He begins to trail his finger from my thoat down. When he reaches in between my breasts he stops for a moment. That pause is all Jackson needs to hop up from his chair and pounce on the man. The next thing I know, the man is ripped to shreds in front of me. "I'm here... I'm here..." Jackson quickly unlocks the chains I'm in and engulfs me in his arms. "I'm so so sorry...."

"But the chains.... Wolfsbane... How?" I ask dumbfounded.

"I just did... I don't know how but I did. I'm so sorry.... I love you so much Alex." He whispers into my hair.

"I love you too."

Chapter thirty-seven

 ~Jackson~

 

 We free the others and rush out of there. Once we make it back to our territory, Dylan stops and turns to me.

"Thank you." He smiles at Alex and me, and then down to our entangled hands. "I'm letting it slip, just this once." Alex laughs and I smile. We begin walking again and I start talking to her.

"So that was the guy from your dream?" She nods. "See I told you I'd save you." I slightly nudge her with my shoulder and she laughs.

"Well in the dream you couldn't have..." She looks up and me and I raise an eyebrow. "You were dead..." She bites her lips and I don't try to stop myself from growling this time. I did in class, but that didn't work either. I stop us abruptly and bring my lips to hers. The dots connect in my head I pull away.

"I was your mate?" She nods again and I smile at her. "Well then you must have all sorts of future seeing abilities." She laughs and we continue walking. "I'm sorry... For getting angry and running off like that. I was scared. I can't lose you Alex. Not before, not now, not later. I liked you before but now it makes this so much more special." 

"Jackson, you wont lose me. I love you." She stands on her tippy toes and kisses me, showing all the emotions she had in the one kiss. Love. Passion.

"I love you more." I smile against her lips.

"Say that again. I dare you." She threatens. I laugh and we go into the house.

Chapter thirty-eight

 ~Alex~

 

*Five years later*

 

"Your turn." I shove him a little so he'll get up. 

"Who's choice was it to have kids?" He groans and gets out of our bed to go check on the new born who's screaming from her room.

"Yours." I state laughing. The screaming baby wakes up her older brother so I have to get up anyways. "Thanks Olivia." I sigh and get out of bed. They are a lot of work but I wouldn't change anything for the world.
