She froze for a second when she made eye contact with Dave. Then she shook off her depression and made her way to the bed closest to the door, Dave's eyes never leaving hers.
At some point she felt as though she was stared at for way too long, so she spoke up and said, "is there a problem?"
And Dave shrugged and simply said "no."
"So why are you staring at me?" Asked Adelina cautiously.
"Because I like staring at what I want." Said Dave as he suddenly took a threatening step towards her.
"Excuse me?" Asked Adelina with a raised eyebrow, and an edge to her tone.
"I didn't stutter. I like staring at what I want, and right now, all I want is you. So why don't you be a good little girl, and strip, then lay on that bed for me. " Said Dave, stepping closer to Adelina.
Adelina smirked, and stood up straight crossing her arms as she said, "you want to run that by me again?"
Dave chuckled and shook his head as he asked, "you're a cocky little bitch, aren't you?"
"And you're a dickhead, so I guess we're even." Replied Adelina with a smile.
"Aww come on. Don't be like that, plus you owe me anyway. I saved your life." Answered Dave.
"Right, well I'm not an easy catch, so better luck next time." Said Adelina as she turned to head for the door. She heard Dave's quick movement behind her, but before he could attack, she extended her claws, turned and grabbed Dave by the throat, then at arm’s length, she slammed his entire body against the wall.
Dave seemed shocked for a moment, but the second he got over his fear, he tried to move, but quickly decided against it when he felt her claws beginning to sink deep into his skin.
Blood started to ooze out of the 5 claw prints on his neck, and Adelina could feel how fast his pulse was beating.
"Come on, you wouldn't hurt me." Said Dave, his hands up in surrender.
"Try me." Responded Adelina, her grip tightening around Dave's throat.
"I suggest you let me go. You wouldn't really kill me, now would you? Don't forget the police is already looking for you. To them you're dangerous, if anything you're a potential danger to society. For all they know, you could be a killer." Said Dave in a smug tone
And that struck Adelina hard.
Killer.
She gasped, shocked, and Dave smiled, knowing that he got her exactly where he wanted her.
With another gasp Adelina loosened her grip on his throat shaking her head as she backed away, then she ran out the door.
The second Adelina was out of sight and hearing range, Dave pulled out his phone, and speed Dialed Chris' number and said "Hey, she's on the move. Are your guys ready?"
"Yeah, we're in position." Replied Chris over the line.
"Alright. You know what to do." And with that Dave hung up the phone and hurried to nurse his wounds.
Meanwhile, Adelina was struggling to make it outside of the motel.
She was surprised, enraged, broken, and shattered.
All that once again blared in her mind was killer, then the bodies of her two sisters flashed in front of her eyes, followed by their cold accusing glares.
She was a killer.
Everywhere she turned she found herself at a dead end, it wasn't until she erupted into an exit door that she was finally able to catch her breath.
But not for long, she suddenly felt everything she ate at the cafe come back up, and with a retched sound, she threw up every content in her stomach.
Coughs ravaged her entire being as she placed her hands on her knees to support herself, and her body shook as her stomach tightened, while her throat fought to push out everything that came in reverse, and her gag reflex wasn't making it any better.
She barely managed to catch her breath when a person erupted from the shadows and said "Hey! You! Stop right there! You are under arrest!"
With wide eyes Adelina wiped her mouth and didn't even think before she bolted towards the forest that lined the yard of the motel.
The second she took off on her run the voice called behind her "HEY! FREEZE!" Then her super hearing picked up "this is unit three, she is on the run, I repeat, she is on the run! Over!"
She heard the static then came "unit three, this is unit five, what are your coordinates, and what direction is the suspect headed?" She heard the static, but her legs decided not to stick around for the rest of the conversation.
A few minutes later, her lungs were burning, and her muscles felt as though they were about to give out.
She thought to take a second to catch her breath, but when she heard a helicopter over head with a blinding search light, she decided against it.
"Aden! It's time for you to take over!" Said Adelina urgently.
"Okay! Midair?" Asked Aden.
"Midair!" Confirmed Adelina.
"On 3!" Declared Aden.
"1!" Began Aden.
"2!" Replied Adelina.
"3!" They both concluded simultaneously.
And just like that, Adelina jumped over a log, and while in midair, she allowed her body to mold and transform into that of Aden's, and when she landed, she was in full wolf form.
Aden bolted through the forest, not sure where she was heading, she didn't relent on her run, and when they passed a fence that said, "YOU ARE NOW ENTERING U.S. SOIL", that was all the motivation that Aden needed.
Aden ran faster and faster, then she felt it.
They were not alone.
On each side of her, Aden caught sight of wolves running next to her.
Their fangs were bared their eyes yellow, glowing in the dark.
"Aden." Said Adelina in a warning tone.
"I know I see them too." Said Aden.
"Think you can outrun them?" Asked Adelina.
"Did you even have to ask?" Said Aden, and just like that, it felt a like a whole new level.
The trees became less than just a blur.
Aden was jumping over dead logs, and ducking low branches, she didn't seem to have any desire to stop soon, and Adelina was fine with that.
But they were so busy outrunning the other wolves, that they missed the trap that awaited them a few feet ahead.
Aden ran straight through a clear field that the minute she was in the middle, she was zapped with a force so powerful, that her knees buckled.
The blow was so strong that it forced Adelina back into her human form.
She felt weak while her body was aching with pain, her eyes burning, her head pounding and her ears buzzing.
She wouldn't be awake long, but before she was taken over by darkness, Clarissa's form appeared in her vision, and she heard her voice echo the word "gotcha."
Chapter 14- “Ready?”
*Third Person's pnt. Of view*
The shock had drained all the energy from Adelina, and as they carelessly lifted her body, and placed her in the back seat of a black SUV, she found herself slowly retracting within her mind until she woke up in the calm place, except this time she was alone.
Selene was not around, nor was Aden.
She was all alone.
What was she to do now?
She looked over to her left, and saw a calm lake, surrounded by a lovely grassy field.
Butterflies flew above the flowers, while birds chirped happily on the trees.
The sun kissed her skin, and she took a deep breath in. The refreshing air calmed her senses and slowly, she found herself heading towards the lake.
She sat in the sand surrounding it, and she found her mind wandering.
She was once again captured by Clarissa, and frankly she had enough of the running and chasing, but how do you kill someone without having to bare the guilt of taking a life? Whether guilty or innocent?
She couldn't take any more physical pain, the shock had literally shut her body down, so she couldn't urge Clarissa to attack her, and use self-defense as an excuse to off Clarissa.
And there's no way she was going to run. She was tired of running.
All those thoughts
were starting to give her a headache, so she turned her mind to something else. Better yet, someone else.
His smile, his eyes, his arrogance, they were all some qualities that Adelina could not look past.
She found herself reminiscing all the times and steamy encounters they had together.
The way he'd take control, the way he would caress her and the way he spoke softly to her.
She smiled at the memory of when Demitrey said he'd take care of her.
Her relationship with her mate has been an unending rollercoaster.
At first, she was afraid of him, and afraid of her attraction to him.
Then she hated him, and she hated the way her mind, wolf, and body were still craving for that insufferable man.
She then became confused about him, and she was confused within herself on whether to forgive him or leave him.
The last thing she said was that she didn't want to date him, because she wasn't sure how she felt about him, but now, well now, she needed him.
And needing someone... that speaks volume.
Adelina was knocked out for a while.
Clarissa headed back to the motel, where she dealt accordingly with Dave.
Dave was nursing the claw wounds that Adelina left him before she ran out the door, when Clarissa walked in, he missed the gun that was tucked behind her back.
"Dave?" Called out Clarissa as she made her way into the room.
"In here babe!" Yelled Dave as Clarissa rolled her eyes right before he faced her.
She flashed him a signature smile and said, "you did good baby, you got me what I wanted." And slowly, in a seductive manner, she walked towards Dave.
"Yeah, I told you not to worry, I'd take care of it, and you." Said Dave as he snaked him arm around her waist and pulled her close, and that's when he felt it.
"What the heck?!" Exclaimed Dave as Clarissa pulled out the gun and aimed it on him.
"You fell for her too. You failed me!" Yelled Clarissa.
"No! No! Babe I didn't!" Said Dave, his hands up in surrender.
"Then why did you kiss her? YOU FUCKING KISSED HER YOU IDIOT! I COULD'VE SPARED YOUR LIFE BUT YOU MAKE ME SICK! You fell for her like all the others did! And just like I dealt with them, I'm going to deal with you." Announced Clarissa.
"No, Clarissa, baby wait! I only kissed her because we were being chased, and I did all it took to make sure that I delivered her to you." Explained Dave, his palms sweaty, his voice shaky.
Clarissa's eyes turned dark, and she turned her head to the side as she said "Well, it doesn't matter, whether you fell for her or not, I'm still going to kill you, I have to tie all loose ends." And before Dave could open his mouth for one more plea, a bullet was fired from the gun and straight between Dave's eyes.
His lifeless body plummeted to the floor, and Clarissa turned with a smirk and walked away.
The SUV that contained Adelina was parked outside, along with the SUV that Clarissa will be riding in.
She walked out of the motel, and jumped into the SUV, in which her new companion and partner in crime, was waiting in.
Alpha Darrell.
Also known as the alpha of Val's pack, which is also the pack that was currently attacking Alpha Demitrey's pack.
With a smile on her face, the two SUVs made their way towards the border, and their next destination, is where Clarissa planned to finish off Adelina once and for all.
Meanwhile, the sun was getting ready to rise, which meant that alpha Darrell's pack was starting to retreat, until the last warrior was gone.
Like clockwork everyone got to their position and did their jobs.
The nurses were nursing the wounded, the kitchen ladies were starting to pass out breakfast, the training warriors started the field clean up, and as a team, the pack was going strong, but their alpha was weak.
He didn't know how long he could go on without her.
He needed her. He needed Adelina.
Demitrey suddenly felt physically sick as a wave washed over him, but not wanting to let his pack know, he rushed up to his room, and crashed on his bed after making sure to lock the door.
He suddenly felt a splitting headache, and he closed his eyes as he wiggled in his bed.
Then, he felt as though he was floating, and when he opened his eyes, he was standing in a sunny grassy field.
And as if there was a pull, he turned to his left, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
There at the bank of a lake, sat Adelina. But she didn't notice him...
"At least not yet." Said a voice.
Demitrey on edge, jumped as Selene appeared next to him.
"Wha- how- you- she- huh?" Said Demitrey, completely puzzled.
"Shh, leave the questions for later. You're both in desperate need of each other. Just go." Urged Selene as she pointed him towards Adelina, and when Demitrey turned back around, Selene was gone.
Demitrey couldn't help it when he screamed "ADELINA!"
Adelina, clearly puzzled, blamed what she heard on her exhaustion and her thoughts, so she didn't bother to acknowledge his voice.
But when his voice rang through her ears again "Adelina!" She couldn't help it, she turned, and couldn't believe her eyes.
She stood to her feet quickly, yet shock wouldn't allow her to move, because there, standing in front of her, was Demitrey.
Chapter 15- “Get Set…”
*Third Person's pnt. Of view*
Adelina couldn't believe her eyes.
What was he doing here? How did he get here?
For a second, they stood frozen and agasp, just trying to grasp the picture in front of them.
When it clicked that they were finally able to meet, they didn't take another second before their legs started moving.
They ran towards each other, desperate to be in the comfort of each of their embrace, but the minute their bodies were seconds away from touching, they stopped.
This wasn't real.
No matter how much they'd try to touch each other, hug or make any type of physical contact, it would never compare to that of reality, because this was all taking place in her mind.
Yet, in the moment of staring into each other's eyes, reality didn't seem to exist, and they plunged into each other's arms.
Demitrey held her as if his life depended on it, and Adelina held on tightly, afraid that if she let go, she'd lose him forever.
They stayed in that position for so long, just in bliss of being in each other's presence.
They didn't feel each other's warmth, they didn't feel each other's heartbeats, but they felt enough in their hearts to know that their hearts were beating with joy.
Once they pulled apart, no words were spoken, instead, he grabbed her hand, and led her back to where she was sitting, he sat first, then she sat in between his legs, their eyes looking over onto the lake.
She leaned into his body as he landed a kiss on her right temple, she felt a whisper of his lips, and nothing more, "I miss you." He whispered to her, his voice echoing the longing he felt for her.
"You better." She chuckled and closed her eyes as she took in a deep breath.
"Where are you?" Asked Demitrey.
"I must've crossed the border into U.S. soil, in New York, right before I was captured. Clarissa is one clever bitch, I can't wait to bring her down." Replied Adelina.
Then, she felt his lips on her mark, followed by the quick jolt of ecstasy that usually followed.
That felt real.
"I felt that. How come I felt that?" Asked Adelina all the sudden.
"Because you..." said Demitrey as he kissed it again, his lips lingering, causing the sparks to grow between them, and for Adelina to draw in a quick gasp.
"Are..." continued Demitrey, as his tongue came out, and sensually licked her mark, in result, Adelina closed her eyes, as a moan of pleasure slithered from her gasping lips.
"One dirty minded girl. You want me." Whispered Demitrey.
"I want you." Confirmed Adelina.
"Then come get me." Whispered Demitrey, and just like that, Adelina was jolted awake.
She sighed, her body still feeling the effect of her sudden arousal, she huffed in aggravation, even in her fantasies the jerk was still a tease, not that she minded, she would get him back, in fact, if she remembers correctly, they still had a tease and please game to play.
Adelina slowly sat up as she found herself in the back of an SUV, the man she figured meant to be watching her was fast asleep.
She took a minute to asses her situation, then, she moved as quietly as she could and came face to face with her sound asleep victim, who in a split second, she had broken his neck.
As stealthily as she could, she stripped the man of his clothes, then stripped of her own, she dressed herself in his outfit, and dug into her pockets and found an old crunchie, which she used to her hair up in a bun, then covered it with the cap the man was wearing.
She then managed to fit the man into the clothes which she was originally wearing, then laid the man down, facing away from the back door.
She sat in the man's position, and patiently waited.
She made sure the outfit covered her up to her neck, then she made sure the collar of her shirt met with the cap around her neck, she put on the dark sunglasses found next to where the man sat and stayed as quiet as possible.
The car ride seemed to go on for hours, it wasn't until the sun was starting to set that they stopped, which got her thinking, how long was she out for?
The car came to an abrupt stop, and the men from the front exit the car. Her eyes followed as the man from the passenger seat walked around her side and opened the back door.
She stepped out and tried to mimic as manly of a walk as she could muster.
The man who let her out went over to the dead wolf and poked the body as he turned towards a disguised Adelina and said, "Hey man, she's been out for a while don't you think?"
Adelina cleared her throat and faked as deep of a note as she could, then answered "uh yeah, yeah, guess the bitch was hit pretty badly."
"Yeah, alpha Darrell wants her out until we reach Demitrey's pack. He's gonna use her as a bargaining tool to win over his pack. I personally think it's a suicide mission, but his new Luna as taken over his head, and now he has most of our warriors out fighting Demitrey's pack, and based on what I've heard, we're not winning. The advantage that alpha thought we had was if we attacked at sunset, and kept them fighting every night, then at sunrise we retreat, and at sunset we repeat, until they were weakened by exhaustion, but based on reports, the attack tactics doesn't seem to have an effect at all. Anyway, alpha says we'll be back on the road in ten, so do what you gotta do quick, then we gotta go." Babbled the wolf, then Adelina nodded and said, "uh yeah, yeah, I just gotta take a leak." And Adelina mentally shrugged and cringed, not sure whether the wolf bought her act or not.
