Sorry for having such a long break. I kinda stopped writing, and I like to  stay ahead  a couple chapters in my writing. But recently I've written more, and now im on ch 34 (I think lol) I'll post a bunch today.

Ch. 27

It must be hours later when my spirit comes back to my body, when I zone back in. Feminine hands are softly shaking my shoulders. I turn to look at the person, looking at their eyes, thinking I must be home, since the eyes of my mate are looking in mine.

My fantasy is broken as I register the long hair and feminine features. As well as the fact I'm lying on the ground with my jeans and underwear around my knees. I blink away tears as Lexi helps me up. I quickly stand and pull up my underwear and jeans, ignoring the blood on the ground and in between my thighs.

I glance back at the table with the flowers only to see the dark. Lexi pushes my hair behind my ears and pulls me into a hug. Tears stream down my face as I hug her back. After a moment I pull back and wipe the tears.

I glance down at the small puddle of blood on the hardwood floor. Lexi turns my head to look back at her. "Don't worry about it. The girls will take care of it." I shake my head, "No, I-" Lexi silences me with a look. "Don't. We understand." Tears start to fill my eyes as I glance back and nod.

She pulls my hand into hers and squeezes. We leave the room silently, I can't help but notice the girls around cleaning. A couple glance up and smile, not ones of sympathy, but of understanding.

A girl with brown hair and blue eyes walks up to us with that same smile and a couple cleaning supplies. Just the thought of another girl having to clean up for me after... make's me sick.

We walk quietly back to the doors we walked through this morning, a grisly looking man standing next to it. He makes a nasty face at us but lets us through. I try to ignore the stinging pain between my legs as we walk down the stairs and to our cell. It's cracked open and we go in. Lexi lets me sit down on the mat as she goes back and closes the door.

I slide off the mat and grab Callum's shirt, slipping my arms through and holding the collar up to my nose. I slide back onto the mat, leaning against the wall as a cascade of tears roll down my cheeks.

Lexi slides in next to me, pulling me close. "It's okay." She whispers as she runs her fingers through my hair, getting out the tangles. "What- What if he doesn't want me anymore?" I ask almost silently through my tears.

She immediately says, "Of course he'll want you. I know Cal, he'd never leave his mate. We used to talk about when we found our mates. How much we'd love them, and how amazing they'd be. Trust me. Now that he's found you, he's never going to let go."

I smile slightly into his shirt. Somehow those words that should sound so sinister warm my heart. I look at the floor, noticing the moon light coming from the window. I look up through the bars, seeing the moon looking down upon me.

She's watching over me. I can feel it. That she's sorry for what happened. A breeze flies by outside, slipping into the damp cell. Bringing with it the smell of lavender and the woods. Reminding me of the family runs we'd go on in the woods.

They were my father's favorite. He smelt like the woods. My mom smelt like lavender. Whether that was because it was her scent or because she spent so much time in the garden with them is still a question to me. Maybe one that will never be answered.

They're still with me. Telling me it will be okay. At this moment I've decided. I will make it back to my family. To Callum, Liam, Jasmine, Anna, Terra. And I will get these girls out of here to any family they have left. I will get them to safety. Somewhere they will never be hurt or forced upon again. That I will make sure of.

I fall asleep with my head on Lexi's shoulder, surrounded by Cal's scent. By the scents of my parents. By my mate's sister. My family. I dream of the future. Where I'm happy with Cal, all these girls are safe, my pups running around playing with my nieces and nephews as I sit beside my mate and my brother and bestfriend. With Lexi home again, maybe even with her mate. I dream of the day when I will kill James for what he did to me, to all these girls. When all these men lay dead or dying before me. Their Queen.
