Chapter 26 Anya - Two Days Earlier

I woke up to a massive headache. My eyes were swollen and my head was pounding but I can feel something warm and hard underneath me. I just wanted to snuggle in this spot forever but I knew I couldn't, I have to get up. I tried to open my eyes but everything was so blurry and bright so I closed my eyes tight. I opened my eyes once more blinking a couple of times but I couldn't adjust my eye sight so I used my hands to feel what was underneath me.

All I could feel was something smooth and soft. What the hell is this? "Are you having fun touching me." I jumped hearing Jets teasing voice next to my ear. I could feel my face burning with embarrassment. I tired to crawl away from Jet when he wrapped his arms around me.

"Don't panic, you are safe with me." Jet whispered chuckling I could feel his breath on my neck. "No let me go!" I yelled pushing against his hard chest. He loosened his grip and I crawled away from him fast. My eyes finally adjusted and all I could see was a broad muscular chest.

"Get out of my room!" I screamed at Jet who didn't so much as budge when I screamed at him. "I'm sorry to disappoint you but you are in my room." Jet smiled devilishly.

"I tried to let you sleep on my bed alone but you cling to me and wouldn't let me go." His smile disappeared and he stared at me like I was going to break into a billion pieces. Why is he looking at me like that? I got up and looked around the room trying to avoid Jet at all cost when the memories slowly started to return to my head. I didn't even realized Jet was beside me when I was falling to the floor but he caught me wrapping his strong arms around me tight.

"Remember what I told you, what happened last night wasn't your fault okay? Look at me." Jet said strongly lifting my face up to his making me look him in his beautiful honey brown eyes that were full of worry. I took a deep breath and allowed his words to sink in and I repeated those words over and over again. The sting was still there but I did feel a little better. Jet is right the only person at fault is the men who hired those boys to attack me.

"Thank you Jet." I said leaning against him allowing myself to sink into his body where I felt safe and comfortable. I want to stay here but I can't, I pushed him back a little.

"I need to go but thank yo. ." He covered my mouth with his hand. "Stop, you don't need to thank me I wanted to do this." Jet said avoiding my eyes.

"I need to ask you something." He said more seriously looking down at his feet. "Why is the Emperor targeting you?" Jet's eyes finally found mine his honey brown eyes darkened dangerously. I gasped and took a step back but he grab me pulling me closer to him.

"Please tell me, are you in trouble with the Emperor?" Jet said tightening his hold on me. "No I never met. . ." I could feel the blood drain from my face and my eyes widen with shock.

"Are you telling me that bastard sent those boys after me?" I was stunned, my body was slowly started to tremble. A wave of anger washed over me. I never felt so much hatred for someone I never met.

My mind is going a hundred miles per hour trying to sort out the new knowledge I learned. The only thing I could think of at the moment was those stupid drunks I took out a while back. Is that why he targeting me? Blaze warned me and told me those guards were dangerous but I didn't care. Jet kept calling out my name but I shut out his voice allowing my anger to take over completely.
