Chapter 14

"Jason" I said shocked "what the hell are you doing here" I said walking towards him. "I thought you were going after Melissa" I continued. "I was... I am" he said "but it seems that my tracking has brought me back here I'm betting it has something to do with that missing friend of yours so I'm here to help" he continued.

"Jason... I'm sorry but you can't be here" I said "why?" he questioned "you know why" I replied and he looked at me like I was crazy. I sighed "Jason to everyone, you are dead if your family or our pack know that your alive before Melissa is dealt with it could put them in danger" I said trying to convince him. "our pack?" her said "no my pack" he continued "excuse me" I said.

"this isn't our pack this is my pack don't think for a second that you and your MATE will ever change that" he said sounding angry "I'll just go" jarred said sneaking into the hall. "are you seriously jealous?" I asked sarcastically "so what if I am!" he snapped. I was silent for a moment.

"You left me" I said "you went and got your self killed and left me, I found my mate, found out I was pregnant and ran this pack... I could have left it to your parents not said a word about Ally and left with jarred but I didn't... I stayed. so you know what Jason Fuck you because you don't get to judge me for my choices not after all the ones you made" I snapped at him "I LEFT TO PROTECT MY CHILD!" he yelled "OUR CHILD JASON... IT TAKES TWO TO CREATE ONE!" I yelled back at him.

"why can't you understand?" he asked "I do understand Jason I understand so much that it hurts but this all of this came at a price and that price was no getting to know your daughter not getting to know the sweet smart little girl she has become" I said calmly.

"everyone that you know and love think you are dead and I don't know what I could say or do to make you realize that" I said turning around to walk away but then stopped "if you want to stay to help fine but don't show your face infront of Allison understand" I said turning my hard back to him "yeah" he said then I walked out into the hallway and closed the door behind me. "What and I supposed to do in this situation?" I asked jarred who was standing just outside the door the whole time.

"I think you already know" he said kissing my forehead as he cradled Everly in his arms "what if I choose wrong?" I asked "then I'm here to help you fix it" he replied with a smile "now let's go put her down for some sleep" he chuckled and I nodded.

a lot happened that day. but it made us realize that even when we thought there was peace there wasn't weather it was family or foe we would always have something to worry about.

a week passed by in the blink of an eye but there was still no progress on finding Cynthia or finding out about her past year at least not until today.

"April first of last year Cynthia met a mysterious man and disappeared for a year. after a week of some investigating we finally figured out where she went." Jason said slamming his hands on my desk. "and where would that be?" I asked "Chicago!" he exclaimed. "Chicago?" I asked "what's in Chicago?" I said. "I'm not exactly sure but at that point in time I was also in Chicago, Melissa led me there but of course I didn't find her like I was on a wild goose chase" he answered

"Oh my God" I said standing up "what" he said "it's all a wild goose chase" I said "yeah?" he questioned"this whole time from the moment you began chasing her has been part of her plan" I said looking up at him "what do you mean?" he asked "She has been 3 steps ahead of us this whole time" I continued "Nes the point" he said ""I'm not sure what she's planning but what ever it is.... it all leads back to here" I said.

*Clap.... Clap.... Clap*

I heard from outside my office as the clap slowly entered "Always the genius aren't you Vanessa" Melissa said entering my office"It took you long enough to figure it out" she said with a taunting smirk "Why can't you leave us the hell alone!" I snapped "what fun would that be" she said "anyway I have a proposition to make" she said "and what would that be exactly" I said annoyed. "Well you see" she said beginning to walk around my office.

"the past 5 years have been so much fun as I continuously and very easily continued to slip out of all of your grasps but I've grown bored" she said looking at the books on my shelves "Get to the point Melissa" I said beginning to grow more and more angry. she sighed "Give me the child and I won't have to hurt you" she said looking at me. "your not touching my daughter" I said slamming my hands on my desk "oh I think your mistaken it isn't your daughter I want" she said "it's Cynthia's" she said with another smile.

"your not getting her either" I growled "well that's unfortunate you leave me no choice but to go with my plan B option" she said her face becoming increasingly serious.

"Suddenly Jason was pinned against a wall, knifes pinning him to it and Melissa stood in front of me holding a needle in my neck the ripped it out it suddenly became hard to breathe and my vision became blurry as I fell to the ground.

"Ah wolfsbane the best way to take down a wolf" she said "Oh and don't worry Vanessa it's not enough to kill you I don't want you dead.... at least not yet" she said adding yet another smirk to the annoying face.

"don't worry you won't see me when you wake up" she said as I finally blacked out.
