I tried going after her but any movement I made caused a fire like feeling to spread through my body.
Wolfsbane. And the strongest one. I plopped into the dirt and let out a whimper. I could feel my lids closing and my body phasing back.
I didn't care that they were seeing me naked. I didn't care that they would probably finish me off. All I cared about was the idea of never seeing Jacob, Mariah, Quin, Jorge, Jackson. But most importantly my twins. My Caleb.
I felt the familiar tears slide down my cheeks. I was the same girl from high school.
Weak.
"This is a warning." The girl purred before kissing my cheek and leaving me in the middle of the woods, butt naked and broken.
"Ariana! Guys I found her! Baby it'll be okay." Someone smoothed my hair back and kissed my forehead.
"It'll be okay." He repeated covering me and carrying me bridal style. Whoever he was made me loosen up my tense muscles. And relaxed my wolf.
"Oh my - take her to Jackson. NOW!" Another guy yelled. I opened my eyes to see trees blur by.
"No .... moon." I whispered staring at the hauntingly dark sky. Then everything went black.
Chapter
"Mommy!" Two familiar voices squealed out. I turned making the grass bend at my feet. And there they were, my twins. They laughed out as someone wrapped their arms around them picking them off floor.
"No! Mommy save us from daddy!" Joey yelled through his laughing fit. A smile spread on my face as I wobbled over to them.
"Which one do you want. I think this one has more meat, Alpha's should get the most meat." Caleb hummed as he lifted Joey a bit higher.
"No mommy he's going to eat me!" Joey let out a strange mix of a giggle and laugh as Caleb playfully bit his tummy.
"You can have him I want her. She looks juicy!" I let out a wicked laugh before grabbing Zoey and attacking her tummy with kisses. "Mommy stop it!" She giggled. I laughed and set her on her feet. The twins took off and started to chase each other.
"Soon we'll have another pup running around like a maniac." Caleb chuckled wrapping his arms around my waist, caressing my belly. I gasped as I saw my large belly covered by my white maxi dress.
"I promise nothing will separate us. I want to be there to see our pup grow." He glanced over to the twins and frowned. "I'm sorry I was such a child. You don't know how much I wish I was there for the twins." My eyes glazed over with tears as I looked at the man in front of me. "You're here now that's all that matters." I sniffled before fully facing him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down but before our lips met, I heard a deadly growl.
I turned to see a large multicolored wolf pounce out of the woods heading to the twins.
"Ariana sweetie please lay back down!" I jumped startled to find someone else in the room. "Lay down." Jackson repeated sternly.
"No my kids need me." I growled jumping off the bed. I never expected my legs to feel like jell-o.
I let out a small gasp as my legs fell out from under me. Before I could hit the floor someone wrapped their arms around me.
"Ari, the twins are fine. They're with Quinn. Please lay back down." Jake assured me sitting me back down on the bed. I could hear the threatening growl from behind me letting us know that Caleb didn't like that Jake was touching me.
"I need to see them." I whimpered ignoring Caleb. "I'll go get them." He kissed my forehead before walking out the door.
"What happened?" I asked looking over to Jackson. "You were attacked." I could hear the pain and anger in his voice as he stepped closer to me. "I'm sorry Ari. I heard your howl but I was too late. I'm so sorry baby."
My heart clenched seeing Caleb beating himself up for something that was out of his control. "Caleb it's okay." I assured him intertwining our fingers together.
I could feel his wolf calming down as he gripped my hand tighter. "Do you know who they were?" I asked turning to Jackson. "They?" I nodded before laying back down. My side felt as if someone lit it on fire.
"I'll get you some more morphine." Jackson rushed across the room grabbing the medicine before walking back to us.
