Falling For My Cruel Mate
Chapter 92

"Dont fucking touch me you douche bag!" I yell rather loudly in hopes someone might hear me and send for help.

"Thats enough." Jalex growls lowly and pulls me away from Ted. "Forget it. Let's just fucking get this over with." He turns to face two groups of four men. "Circle the perimeter, kill anyone who sees you or tries to stop you."

"You don't have to do this." I plead. "It's not too late for you to call off your men and go home."

"Oh no, sweetheart. I do have to do this." He sends me a wicked smile and his men race off in opposite directions to circle the perimeter of the pack lands. The cloth bag makes its way back on to my head and someone grips my arm rather tightly and begins to drag me along with them.

I squeeze my eyes shut and drag my feet, trying to delay the inevitable as much as possible. My wrist begin to burn as, whom I'm assuming is, Ted begins to tug at my chains. I pray to the moon goddess, whom many believe to be a myth, for help. At this point I've become so desperate I'll ask anyone for help.

We stop and the cracking of bones erupts beside me and behind me. They're shifting and getting ready for battle. I tug on my chains to see if maybe Ted was dumb enough to let go and shift into his wolf. He tugs back and soon we are moving again. Of course he isn't dumb enough to let go. I still can't believe something like this is happening to me.

Low growls emerge from all around me, even in the distance I can hear them. We stop. I look around and try to squint through the small holes in the cloth bag but it's no use.

"Ajax Black, surrender yourself to me or she dies!" Jalex's voice booms and echoes in silent winter air. Ted tugs on my chains harshly causing me to fall forward. I catch myself with my hands just in time before my face met the ground. The cloth bag is ripped from my head once more allowing me to see. We are in beginning of the pack lands, in a small clearing.

I'm afraid to look up. To lock eyes with my mate, for him to see what they've done to me. Although I couldn't resist. I can feel his stormy ocean blue eyes begging for me to look up at him, and so I do.

Him and all of the pack warriors stand a few yards away from us ready to fight. My eyes lock with his and as he takes in my appearance those beautiful blue eyes immediately turn black as his body begins to shake with rage. Cipher and Sam quickly grab onto him, holding him back as he dares to take a threatening step forward.

Jalex releases an annoying chuckle as he reaches down and lifts me back to my feet. I hang my head shamefully, I feel so weak and useless. Tears threaten to spill past my eyes at the sight of my mate. He so close, but so far away. I search for his scent and I can finally smell it now. It makes my heart feel warm.

"I'm surprised you recognized her. Ted here gave her a little unauthorized makeover but its fine. Her face was much too pretty anyways. Isn't that right doll?" He grabs my chin once more and places a teasing kiss on my cheek, his eyes never leaving Ajax. I struggle and fight in his grasp, but his other arm wraps itself around my torso.

"All of you are going to die the same extremely miserable death." Ajax growls loudly ripping himself away from his sister and his beta. He takes a few steps forward, his eyes pitch black.

"Bring it on." Jalex smiles as his grips loosens on me, I stomp on his foot as I hard as I could before elbowing him right in the face catching him off guard. He stumbles backwards and trips over Cynthia who's constantly up his ass.

I quickly bend down and tug at the chains around my ankles. My hands begin to burn and sting but I only tear at them harder as I hear my name slip past the lips of my mate.

"Come on Octavia." He whispers lowly.

I glance up at him, his eyes become lighter as they fill with worry and my heart cant help but break in my chest. I need him. My wolf finally begins to fight the effects of the silver and the slim chain actually breaks in my hands. Oh my god. It worked?!

Ted's attention moves from Jalex to me at the sound of my silver chains snapping. His thick hands and arms reach out to me but I deflect them quickly and begin to

run.

I run faster than I ever have before. The tears spill past my eyes as Ajax and Cipher begin to run to meet me in the middle. I can hear Ted's large feet pound against the snow covered grass behind me but all I truly cared about was my mate. As my vision begins to blur from all the tears I can feel my chest tightening. Ted is so close, almost being able to grasp at my ponytail.

As soon as Ajax gets closer I reach out to him, our fingertips brush against each other and he latches onto my forearm pulling me into his warm muscular chest. I heave a heavy sob as I shove my cold battered face into him, breathing in his beautiful scent. His arms wrap around me and Cipher releases a vicious growl as she collides with Ted behind me.

Ajax takes several steps back, keeping me wrapped up in his arms. His lips pressing against the crown of my head. "I'm so sorry." I cry out trying to hold onto him as best as I could with these chains still wrapped around my wrists.

"Shh, it's not your fault ducky. I'm here now." He whispers into my hair. I knew this war was no where close to being done but I felt so relieved and safe here in his arms.

To my disappointment he pulls back slightly. He grabs onto the silver chains that clad my wrist and barely winces as he tugs on them with all his strength, they break. I throw my arms around him once more and he pulls me back into him placing a sweet kiss on my lips.
