Chapter Eleven
ACE
"Alright Monkey. You got the candy?" I asked looking down at Aiden. He smiled up at me and held out the candy.
"I gots Aphla favorite, Ace favorite and me favorite." He said putting each in the basket as he said them.
We were having a movie night, so Aiden and I were tasked with getting snacks, drinks, and a nice frozen pizza. I don't care what anyone says, frozen pizzas can be just as good as delivery if doctored up the right way.
"Alright then, let's get going," I said and held out my hand for him to take. We walked to the check-out line and waited for our turn, all the while Aiden rambled on about the movie.
"Do you remember where we parked?" I asked as we stepped out of the store.
"A. ah. Ah. ah." he chanted happily. I chuckled and began walking us to the car. My heart spiked as a windowless white van pulled into the parking spot near us. I picked up Aiden and began to speed walk to the car.
"Wait you dropped your bag!!" I heard from behind us, I slowly turned around to look at the person that emerged from the van.
"Silly! We can't has movie night wifout dis." Aiden said reaching for the bag.
"Thank you," I said turning around, relief washed over me knowing that no one was going to hurt us.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The drive home was very long, I was about halfway done with it when a black SUV drove up beside me out of nowhere. I slowed down a bit thinking that the person wanted to pass me, but they followed me. I began to pick up speed trying to lose them.
"Weeeeeee" Aiden yelled in the back throwing his hands up in the air.
"Hold on tight Monkey," I said, I tried to get the SUV to leave us but it wouldn't let up. Suddenly everything was moving in slow motion, things in the car were flying, and Aiden streaming in the back. I hit my head on the steering wheel. My last thought before I blacked out was hoping that Aiden was alright.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I woke up it was to Aiden's voice, "Daddy! Daddy wake up! Pease!!" he cried. I groaned and sat up slightly, only for Aiden to knock me back down in a hug. "Daddy!"
I was shocked, not only from waking up in an unknown location but from Aiden calling me Dad. It made me want to cry.
"Shh, it's okay, Daddy's here. I got you." I said rubbing his back and looking around the room. We were in what looked to be an average bedroom. It was clean with white walls, there were no decorations or anything making the room personal. We were sitting on a full-sized mattress with light blue sheets. The room had one door and two windows, which were boarded shut. There was a nightstand next to the bed with a clock, telling me that I had been asleep for a little over 2 hours.
"You didn't go away." he smiled up at me with tears in his eyes.
"I'll never leave you, I promise Monkey," I whispered into his hair before kissing his head. "Did you see the person who put us in here? Did they hurt you?" I pulled him out of my chest to look him in the eyes.
"I sorry, I not see. I hit my head."
"It's alright baby. Don't worry. Daddy will get us out of here." I said tightening my grip on our hug.
After waiting for 30 minutes, someone opened the door. I pulled Aiden behind me to protect him. "Chill out honey, I don't want the kid. I just want you~" Said a familiar female voice. The owner of the voice walked further into the room and shut the door making me gasp.
"Isabella?! What the hell? Take me home! This isn't funny." I said
"Of course, it's not funny love. This is serious, that horrible man has brainwashed you into thinking that you're his, but you're mine. Soon you'll realize it, and we can be together." She said taking a step forward, holding out her hand. "Just like we are supposed to."
"I don't understand. Be together?" I questioned while giving her a puzzled look.
"Okay, you see. This may be hard to believe but I am what is called a werewolf. When we are created, our soul is made whole, but then ripped into two pieces. Each piece has a match, that is a mate. When these two pieces find each other, they are made whole again. That is what we are, my love. You are my mate."
"Isabella, that's not possible. I already have a mate, and that person isn't you. I'm sorry." She looked sad and sat down on the bed next to us. I shifted away uncomfortably.
"You don't understand, you were always so nice to me. Even when everyone else called me crazy, you were nice. You have to be my mate." She ran her hand through her hair, "I don't understand, why don't you feel sparks." She left the room.
