Chapter 17
I woke up with the lights cascading in through the window. I rolled over to look at Philly's back. Good, he is still asleep. I quietly inched my way off of the bed, and tiptoed into the bathroom to shower. I turned on the water, and adjusted the temperature 'till it was just right. I quickly pulled off Jace's over sized shirt, and hopped into the shower. I rinsed out my hair, worrying about what I was going to tell Philly. When I was done, it looked like my shower had been barfed on by the woods. I grinned, thinking of what a pain it would be to clean this up, but lucky I wasn't the one cleaning. I wrapped myself in my towel, and searched through my bathroom for something to wear. Luckily I found the robe I had on before the party on Friday night.
Wow, that party felt like weeks ago, but it was only been 2 days. I pulled on the robe, and left the bathroom drying my hair with the towel. When I walked out Philly was sitting up on my bed, waiting for answers. I let out a large sigh and sat down next to him. I tried to figure out what to say first. Well I may as well just start off with the obvious.
I let out an even larger sigh before starting. "I found my mate," I said looking down at my hands that where laying in my lap.
There was only silence, I looked up to see what he was thinking. His brows were knitted in confusion.
"What?" He asked, looking up at me.
"I found my mate," I told him once again, looking down at my hands again.
"How?"
"I think that I am the only human to have ever mated with a werewolf in history. John and I both think that when I was feeling sick at the party, and the sudden burst of strength- was my body preparing itself to being mated to a werewolf," I explained.
"That actually makes sense. Who's your mate?" He asked. I could fell his eyes on me.
I put my face in my hands as soon as I felt the first threatening tear stroll down my cheek.
"Eliana?" Philly asked my worried. He reached over rubbing my back in a comforting way.
"It's Jace," I whispered. I whispered it, hoping he might not hear it right.
His hand stopped rubbing my back, and I felt it curl up into a fist on my back. I felt his body stiffen next to me. Nope, he heard me just fine.
"Philly?" I asked looking up at him through teary eyes.
His jaw was tight, and his eyes were jet black. I couldn't even tell what was his pupil. He started shaking with rage.
"Jace? As in Jace Steffans?" He growled out. His eyes still staring at the wall, with his jaw still tight.
"Yeah," I said so ashamed it had to be him.
He started shaking even more. Uh oh, he was going to go wolf in my very own room. I backed away suddenly afraid of what would happen. His eyes snapped to me seeing that I had moved. His face softened, but not too much. He was still shaking, but not like before. His eyes turned a shade lighter. I could now see his pupil. His jaw unclenched a bit. He must have seen some fear in my face that made him stop.
"I'm sorry this has happened Eliana," He said after he got a bit more control.
I bit my bottom lip as more tears threatened. I could feel my eyes rimmed in them. Philly held out his arms for me. I ran to them, to be enveloped in his warmth. I started crying into his chest. He made soothing noises trying to calm me down.
"It isn't that bad having a mate, is it?" He teased, but I was in no laughing mood.
I cried a bit more before answering him. I knew he would blow up at this. I backed away from him, drying my cheeks with my sleeve. He knew this was bad if I was backing away.
"He had rejected me," I said releasing the bomb.
That did it. He stood up practically pushing the bed into the wall creating a gaping hole. He looked even worse than before if that was possible. He suddenly transformed into a wolf before my eyes. His clothes falling down around him in shreds. A very large gray wolf stood before me with a growl rumbling through his chest. Could I say we were both very lucky everyone was still under the medication the doctor gave, so they wouldn't be waking up.
Great, now how was I supposed to talk to him, if he couldn't talk back.
"How am I supposed to talk to you now?" I fumed. He nudged me with his giant head, when I pouted. I looked down to see him looking just as pissed off.
"Fine, what else do you want to know?" I asked.
He growled at me.
"How about I start from the beginning," I said sitting down on the bed. I glared at the hole in the wall, that I would have to try to cover up later.
"When I was at the party, I started to feel really sick. Chris took me out back because I wasn't feeling good. I asked him to go get me a drink. That was when two of their guys came behind me, and knocked me out." He started growling at that. I glared at him telling him to not interrupt me. He lowered his head, telling me to continue on.
"I woke up in some type of metal cage/ box thing, shackled to the floor. They pulled me out and this man, who I think is their third in command was pissed, because it took them so long. I struggled when they tried to take me in. Then the Alpha came out to see what was going on out there. He was furious I was kicking their butts. I actually broke one of their noses. He went wolf." Philly started making a weird noise that I was guessing was chuckling.
"They got control of me after um..." I didn't want to tell him what happen here. He growled at me. I rolled my eyes at him. "The man had kicked me, I passed out for a moment. So they tied up my hands. They put me in the living room. That was when Jace came down." I started smiling at the memory of how he looked at me.
"He was actually really sweet to me. He and I stared at each other for what felt like a long time. The man hit me again, and Jace went ballistic. If it wasn't for his dad stopping him I'm sure he would have killed the man for hurting me. Than he figured out who I really was. His dad ordered for me to be taken into the dungeon." I started crying remembering what Jace had said to me next. I let out a shaky sigh and looked back up at Philly's large dark blue eyes.
"That's when Jace came down to scream at me. Ok, so we had met a couple of times before. Once he was giving me a ride... Um, but the other time we met at the park," I said covering up. "He called me liar for not telling him who I really was." I started choking on my words. "Then he said I shouldn't exist and that I was a pathetic mate."
A large growl erupted up around me. I started to cry. "Please don't," I pleaded with Philly. He lay back down on the ground letting out a huff.
"He left after that. I kind of went into shock. John, one of the boys that had helped kidnap me, but is very nice to me; came down to get me to talk to the Alpha. I was still bleeding from my head, and still in shock. He had to carry me upstairs into a bedroom. A doctor came and gave me some stitches. Then the alpha went to talk to me. I snapped at the alpha, and was sent back into my room. Later that night I escaped through a vent that was too small for a werewolf to escape through. I then ran all the way through the woods home, except I had to go a bit off course when they were coming," I looked up at the very shocked Philly wolf.
"What?" I asked.
He shrugged, nudging me to continue on.
"Ok, ok. When Dylan attacked that wolf, last night, it was my mate. I felt that pain, but luckily he passed out so I didn't have to feel it for too long. But then the doctor had to re-break his bones, and I had to feel all of that, which is why I was screaming last night. I felt all of it." I started crying again, remembering the pain. I was surprised when I felt a human hand on my back. I looked up from my hands. Philly was human, but wearing some pants of his he must have found in here.
"I'm so sorry you had to go through that pain," Philly said comforting me.
"It's not even your fault. You shouldn't be saying sorry."
"Yeah I know, it was Dylan's fault," He teased.
I actually laughed at that. "You have to promise me you won't tell anyone," I pleaded.
"Why?" He asked confused.
"Because Jace's dad doesn't know about any of this yet. If you tell someone they might tell someone else, and eventually he will find out. I have a pretty good feeling he isn't going to be too happy that his son has mated with a human, let alone me," I explained.
He nodded.
"Now get out, I need to change," I said shoving his big body out the door. Sadly, I was absolutely failing at this.
He chuckled at how weak I was. I glared at the back of his head, as he took off down the hall. I quickly changed to get ready for the rest of the day. Well I will just have to see how today goes. I'd probably end up crying into my cereal. I sighed and brushed out my hair before going down to eat. I was starving.
