Mine – The Alpha’s Possession By Kylie CHAPTER 30
“Layla. I know that you’re my guardian, but that doesn’t explain why you’re here now.” I say walking closer to me. Edward tried to grab my arm to stop me, but I shook it off.
“I’ve been watching you, Taylor. You need a guardian now more than ever.
Especially with these two horny little wolves running around.” She says nodding her head towards them.
“Who the hell is this?” Jackson demanded.
“I am none of your business.” Layla snaps back at him.
“She’s a friend.” I say. And she smiled warmly at me.
“Taylor. You know that you can’t stay here. Not with either of them. They are both going to be your downfall. They are both going to hurt you.” Layla says.
“Hey. You don’t even know us.” Edward yelled at her.
“I’ve seen enough to know that neither of you deserve Taylor. You are both going to hurt her. Jackson is already slowly killing her from the inside. Can’t you see that? Can’t you even recognise when your mate is in so much pain?” Layla asked looking directly at Jackson. But I didn’t look at him to see his reaction. I couldn’t. I know that the pull was too strong, and I would feel sorry for him. And I did not want to feel sorry for him right now. He was the whole reason why we were here.
“I would never hurt Taylor.” Edward insisted.
“Really? Where’s your girlfriend right now? And don’t feed me the same bullshit that you fed Taylor.” Layla says.
“What are you talking about?” I asked.
“His girlfriend doesn’t know that you two have been spending time together and they’re not fighting right now. Jackson ordered Edward to find you. He knew that Edward would be able to find you before anyone else in the pack because your history. He was mind linking with
Jackson the whole time you and him were talking. He bought Jackson here. And this whole thing is just for show.” Layla explains to me. And this time I did turn. around to look at both men standing in front of me. Edward had a sorry look on his face and Jackson still had his determined, pissed off look on his face.
“Is that true?” I asked Edward.
“He ordered me to find you. But after everything you just told me, I wish I didn’t help him. I didn’t know any of that. I swear to the Goddess. You have to believe me.” Edward says.
“I do believe you. But that doesn’t change the fact that you’re a lying son of a bitch.” I say.
“I’m so sorry. Please, I didn’t want to help him. I could tell at school today, how pissed you were at him. I didn’t want to help him.” Edward pleaded with me as he took a step closer, but I took a step back. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“You’re not a friend. You could have given me a million chances to get the hell out of here before he showed up. But you didn’t.” I say.
“That’s because you’re mine.” Jackson growled through gritted teeth.
“You won’t even publicly acknowledge me as your mate. The only reason why you never rejected me is because I never gave you the chance to. I told you the day before my birthday that I knew we were
mates. We had that fight on the cliff and I haven’t given you a chance to reject me since my birthday.” I say.
“Taylor.” Layla says and I turned around to look at her.
“Why did you really come here?” I asked.
“To deliver a message.” She says. And she put her hands on my shoulders and I felt this weird sensation running through my whole body and I closed my eyes because of how intense it was. But when the feeling wore off, I opened my eyes. I wasn’t in the cabin anymore. I was standing next to that lake with the waterfall in the Faerie Kingdom.
“Hello Taylor. It’s nice to finally meet you. “A man said behind me. So, I turned around and there was a man standing there. He looked to be in his 40’s with long blonde hair and wearing strange clothing, much like Layla but it was more like a shirt and pants that you would see prince charming wearing in those fairy tales that my mother used to read me.
“Who are you?” I asked.
“My name is Vincent. But you can call me Dad if you like.” He says.
“Dad.” I say softly in shock while I starred at this man.
“I know that this is a shock for you. I sent Layla. I knew that it was time to meet. Because I believe that now, you have a choice to make. Things aren’t safe for you back home. I wish I could have been there for you as you were growing up, but your mother made it clear that she didn’t want anyone to know where you came from.” He explained.
“You don’t need to explain yourself. I know that you didn’t believe I was yours until recently.” I say.
“You’re very understanding.” He says.
“I just know that I’ve barely spoken to my mother since I found out the truth. And I thought Thomas and Victoria were bad enough.” I scoffed.
“Not everyone has the perfect parents. And not everyone is the perfect person.” He says.
“I know. And I know that I haven’t been too fair on my mother since I found out the truth. I have been meaning to see her but I’ve been too angry lately to confront her. I’m afraid that I’m going to bring up all the things that she lied to me about. I thought it would be best to wait.” I say.
“Well, that was very grown up of you. I’m proud of you for that.” He says.
“So, why am I here? Why did you send Layla? And what choice do I have to make? ” I asked.
“You are in danger where you are. The Alpha that you are mated with, he has a reputation, as you know. But what you don’t know is that his reputation spans more than just your realm. We know him here as well. And he is not a nice man.” Vincent says.
“Apart from not acknowledging me as his mate, he’s never done anything else to hurt me. He’s actually been the opposite with me. He’s been kinder to me than anyone else.” I explained.
“I know that. But that doesn’t mean you should be mated to that man. He’s not a good man.” Vincent says.
“What are you trying to tell me?” I asked.
“It’s time for you to come home. To come to Morda and live your true life.” He says.
“You want me to come here?” I asked.
“Yes. I do. I want you to be a part of my family. I want you to be a part of my life. I’ve missed so much, and I don’t want to miss anymore.” He says.
“That is one hell of a choice.” I say.
“I know. Layla will stay with you until you decide. She’s not going anywhere. I told her not to.” Vincent says.
“I know that I said that Jackson has been kind to me, but I don’t know how he’s going to like Layla hanging around. That could be dangerous for her.” I say.
“Don’t worry about Layla. She knows what she’s doing. She can take care of herself. And I hope to see you real soon. Good luck Taylor. And just know that I have always loved you.” He says kissing my forehead. And I closed my eyes when he did that.
When I opened them again, I was back in the cabin. Layla was in front of me and I heard growling behind me.
“What the hell did you do to her?”
Jackson roared so loud that the walls shook. But Layla just looked me in the face and smiled.
I turned to face Jackson and Edward and I could see that Edward had been holding his breath, but finally let it out when I turned around. Jackson was on the verge of shifting. I knew that he was.
“Are you planning on acknowledging me as your mate?” I asked Jackson. Catching him completely off guard.
“This isn’t the time or the place.” Jackson says.
“Yes. It is. I need you to answer me, right now.” I say.
“It’s complicated. There’s a lot that you don’t know.” Jackson says.
“I know that there are a lot of people out there that want to kill you. You think that
I will be an easy target for them. I’m not an easy target for anyone. You should know that by now. So, answer me, are you going to take me as your Luna?” I asked. And he stood there staring at me. He looked like he was in pain. Emotional pain. Like he wanted to cry, but he knew that the big bad Alpha can’t be seen crying.
“I don’t know.” He finally managed to get out.
“Well, that’s all I needed to know.” I say taking a step back towards Layla.
“What are you doing?” Jackson asked with a panicked look on his face. I held my hand up, facing upwards and Layla placed her hand on top of mine.
And in that one instant, all of our lives. changed forever. That one instant was all it took for me to finally figure out how I was going to get out of this mess. The portal opened and swallowed Layla and me up like it had been waiting for us. I heard the screams of Jackson and Edward screaming my name before it was silence.
It only took a second before it closed again, and Jackson and Edward had no chance of stopping it. And I was gone. No longer on Earth. No longer in the Red Moon Pack. And no longer wondering if I was going to be strung along by the Alpha, wondering if I was going to be his Luna or not. Or just someone that he used when he needed to have sex. That was behind me now. And a bright new future opened up for me. And I embraced it the second I decided to take Layla’s hand and leave Earth. And I was actually excited about it. It was the first time I had felt excited about anything in a long time.
