Belonging to Him

Nineteen- Rush

I closed my eyes, concentrating only on Kael’s voice. When I opened them Kael was on my north-west. Nicholas and Demetrio had only been illusions from Chad. But even if Kael was close, Chad was closer to me. Chad was an arm and a half length’s away from me, Kael was about twelve to fifteen steps.

“Ah, Kael, you didn’t tell us she was your mate” Chad taunted, his grip on the gun remained firm “didn’t that witch say you weren’t supposed to have one?”

Kael growled, stepping forward. Chad clicked down the back of the gun, causing Kael to stop.

“Ah, ah, ah, Kael, slow down” Chad mocked “my hands are slippery, wouldn’t want a silver bullet be the cause of her brain exploding, hmm?”

“Chad, your fight is with me” Kael replied, “leave her out of this”

“You know, Kael, it’s sad that my fellow half-breeds and I aren’t able to have mates. So, why should we let you have yours?” Chad glared at him

“Chad, if you don’t fight me, you’re a coward!” Kael shouted

Chad only chuckled, humorlessly; evilly, “I don’t care. Jaymes is going to die today, Kael” said Chad, all the while my eyes stayed glued to the barrel of the gun “you should be happy, your pack sure will be. They will finally be free of the curse. The wolf mates would finally be able to shift. Something an alpha should do, is sacrifice everything for his pack” Chad paused, pinning Kael with his gaze “yet you chose a witch over them all. What kind of Alpha blood does that? And to think, you let your brother take over the position that was meant to be yours since the day you were born!”

“Kael,” Chad chuckled again, his voice free and careless “you are pathetic Kael. Jaymes has two mates, don’t you think she should choose which one of you both she wants to be with forever? She certainly has known the other one”

“What?” I was asking more than shouting now. Two mates

“Oh, yes, Jaymes” Chad’s eyes were glued to Kael’s, but he kept me in his peripheral vision, and within reach “didn’t Kael here, tell you?” a pause, “Jaymes, come here”

I stared at him; he was stupid if he thought I would do such a thing.

“Let’s not make this any harder Jaymes. Come here” he instructed again

“Stay right where you are, Jaymes” Kael whispered, but his voice seemed louder than Chad’s

I frowned, forgetting I had company for once. My fingers enclosed around the necklace once more and I knew there was only one way I could end all of this, all of the pain, all of the worries. I took a deep breath, taking one step backwards before I turned my body sideways, looking at the rocks and the water splashing roughly against them. I looked up and noticed dark gray clouds were present, a storm was forming.

A tear trickled down my cheek when I knew I wouldn’t ever see Kael, Riley, Annie, Natalie, and everybody else again. Annie would be so furious that I wouldn’t be home at the right time. I wondered what they were doing right now. They were probably busy with work, they were good parents and I had Althea to thank for giving me that. Only now, I wished I had made the most of all the wasted time I spent being alone, pretending I was alright when I was hurting inside. Now, I wished I had spent more time with the people I loved.

My eyes went towards Kael, Chad was talking on my left, taunting us again, but his voice was muffled, the sound of the sea calling me was stronger. It seemed my ears were blocked, except to the sound of the crashing waves. Kael’s eyes hardened when he realized what I would be doing. I only smiled, taking another step back, the back of my feet were already at the edge; one thing left to do and it would all be over.

I mouthed three words that I meant with all my heart to him, I knew he read my lips well. He shouted my name, but it seemed muffled. I leaned back, welcoming the strong pull of gravity onto my body. I heard a gunshot, in Chad’s direction, whether the bullet hit me or not, I couldn’t feel it. It looked to be in slow motion when I saw more wolves, of different colors and sizes jump out from the bushes, tackling Chad to the ground, but that was it before the realization of falling dawned on me and everything was fast forward again.

I had been afraid of a lot of things. I was afraid to fly, afraid to trust, afraid to give, afraid to be me. I was petrified with the thought of falling. But I did anyway, in more ways than one; I had fallen in love with Kael and I didn’t mind it when I fell. The thing about falling is I could only feel the thrill, the rush it gave me while my mind was in complete opposite with my body. At this time I remembered, that line when you die, your whole life flashes before your eyes. I didn’t have that. My mind replayed all the wonderful things that happened in my life, though.

Half were images of my biological parents being happy together, loving each other and Annie, Riley and Natalie were in that half, too; everything we did together, all of our laughs and sorrows. The other half was of Kael and me; our passionate flashes, our talks, his sly smile, sly comments, his delicious mouth, his mysterious eyes and his soft, firm hands. I smiled, enjoying the memories, I didn’t even feel it when the water had engulfed me, invaded my lungs, replacing air with itself. I didn’t realize that when the rocks roughly collided with my body,  I had already stopped breathing.

The things you do for love. Tell me what you guys thought of this chappie! :)
