Chapter Twenty Eight
W e seem to lose all sense of time as we run around down at the beach. We don’t see another soul the entire day.
It's just me and my three Alphas.
I didn’t realize just how much my soul needed this. How deprived I have been from love before they came into my life. I knew that it was bad but I didn’t realize it was this bad.
It makes me despise my father even more than I already do.
The sky begins to set over the horizon bringing an end to our time here. I sigh as I stand, hating the fact that we have to leave already. Jax sees my reaction and grabs my hand, “We will come back, Angel.”
I nod, letting him guide me back to the car. I climb in first, Jax hopping in behind me. The moment he has his seat belt on, I scuttle over towards him.
He doesn’t hesitate to wrap his arm around me, pulling me in closer towards him. I soak up his warmth, even though I have been all but stuck to them for the majority of the day.
I still crave him. Still need to feel him against me .
It doesn’t take long before my eyes begin to droop and my body fully relaxes into my Alpha’s body. The gentle sensation of Jax’s fingers trailing against my arm pulls me straight into oblivion.
I startle awake as I feel the car pull up, Lifting my head up, I look around, mildly disassociated, not fully having my bearings yet.
Turning, I find Jax smiling down at me.
“We are home, baby. Have a good sleep?”
I chuckle as I wipe the sleep from my eyes, “Yeah, I didn’t think a day at the beach would take it out of me.”
He nods his head, chuckling quietly, “Sun and salt air has a tendency to do that to you.”
That makes sense, as I take catalogue of myself, realizing just how tired I am still feeling.
I drag myself out of the car, following behind my Alphas as they take the first few steps up to the front door.
I follow behind them mindlessly, not looking at where I am going and solely trusting them to grab me so I don’t run into anything.
I gasp as I collide with Ledger’s back. Theo grabs me, steadying me as I look up at him. I go to speak but he holds a hand up over my mouth, not allowing the words I had to escape.
My eyes widen as Theo nods to the door that has been left ajar.
My stomach sinks. Dread overcomes me. I know for a fact that we locked the door before we left.
I look between each of my Alphas. I can tell that they are trying to remain calm but I can feel through my bond just how panicked they are .
Ledger reaches behind him, as though to grab something from the back of his pants but he comes up short. He freezes and I watch as dread floods his face. He was reaching for a gun. One that isn’t there.
Looking over at both Theo and Jax, watching as they both come up short as well.
Fuck.
Panic creeps its way up my throat, threatening to spill over. It takes everything in me to push it down. I lock it away, knowing that we don’t have time for me to be sick.
I need to be strong. To hone that bad bitch energy I have been trying to channel.
Theo takes a step away from me before he looks at both Jax and Ledger. Both Alphas nod their head before Ledger comes up behind Theo without a single word spoken.
Jax grabs my hand and pulls me behind him, protecting me with his body. I hate that thought. That he would put himself in front of me to ensure my protection. But if the roles were reversed, I would do the same for him.
I feel as though my entire body shakes as we come up to the door. My eyes snap around the foyer as we make our way in. Nothing seems to be disturbed but we don’t break out of the formation we have found ourselves in.
The entire house is dark and it seems that Theo has every intention of keeping it that way as not to spook whoever the fuck is inside. We make our way into the lounge room and find that space just as empty as the last.
Each of my Alphas seem to relax the further we get into the house. I let go of Jax’s hand just as we are about to step into the kitchen .
A floorboard creaking is all the warning I have before hands grab me pulling me away from the safety of my Alphas.
A small scream escapes my lips before a hand is clamped over my mouth. I kick my legs in an attempt to break away from my captor but it's futile. A bag is pulled over my head, taking my sight away from me completely.
The sound of fighting breaks out around me but I can’t tell what's happening. I don’t stop my fight though, refusing to allow myself to back down and just accept what's happening.
These people are trying to take me. Take me from my Alphas. From my safety. I can’t allow myself to just allow it to happen. I can’t just give up.
I want this life that has been handed to me. I want it more than I want my next breath through the hessian bag over my head.
“KENNEDY!”
The desperation I hear in Theo’s breaks me as the body behind me continues to pull me away from him. I try to scream through the hand over my mouth but it only comes out as a mumbled mess.
I feel hysteria come down through the bond from all three of my Alphas. I can feel their terror, their anger towards the intruders. I can’t imagine the kind of emotions that each of my men are receiving through the bond for me. I try to trample them down but it is near impossible.
I can tell the moment my captor gets me back through the front door. I don't stop my struggle as I try to hook my leg around the door frame .
The person behind me jerks as I am successful for a moment but a strong yank sees him easily breaking my grip. I scream behind the hand covering my mouth as pain radiates down my legs.
Gravel crunches beneath their feet as I try to use the loose material as some kind of grip but yet again, it's useless.
I choke on a sob as I feel the captor win.
No matter how much I want to be able to fight, I can’t. Not this time. Not when I am up against an enemy that is provinging to be much stronger than I am.
I know I tried. I really did. But, it wasn’t enough.
The hands gripping me squeeze me tighter just as I hear car doors open. My stomach sinks further as I am thrown into the back of a vehicle.
I try to get up but pause as I hear an echoed gunshots coming from the direction of the manor. Two more shots follow along with a pained roar.
I would know that voice anywhere.
The sound of Jax’s pained cry tears through my soul as I am knocked back as the doors to the van slam close. It feels like I can’t breathe as panic for my Alpha overcomes me.
An unbearable amount of pain shunts into me as another body grabs me from behind.
“Night night, Omega.”
The voice instantly makes me feel sick as the sharp prink of a needle is jabbed into the side of my neck. It is only moments before I feel the effects.
The bond between my Alphas is the first thing I feel go moments after both the sound of the gun firing and the drug being injected. I feel each strand snap in my chest, returning me to the broken shell I was before them.
My scream is gurgled as I curl in on myself in an attempt to protect myself from the excruciating pain of not having my bonds in my chest anymore.
Slowly, my world starts to spin before my body goes numb. Each sense is ripped away from me until the depths of oblivion steal me away from a life I had just found.
