Betrayed by My Pack – Wolfless Hybrids Escape
Chapter 94 –

Brenna's

POV

I don't know how long I have been out. My head hurt, and so did my heart. I missed Jaxon so much that I wanted to cry. I was worried about my baby, and I was worried about my sisters. Had they woken up yet? Are they hurt? The only thing I knew for a fact was that we needed to get the hell out of here as quickly as we could.

Rex had whispered something to me that made my blood run cold. "Soon we can be together, my love. I know that Jaxon was your mate, but I will deal with him when he comes to rescue you. Hopefully, I will end up being your second-chance mate." I had woken up as Rex picked me up from my seat in the SUV to carry me into the cells.

I would rather die first than allow that to happen. I refuse to allow Rex to touch me. He will definitely kill my baby if he replaces out that I am carrying Jaxon's pup. I just can't allow that to happen. I needed to know if my sisters were awake.

"Cara, are you awake?" I whispered. I was glad to see her eyes immediately pop open and look right at me. I was close enough to see the tears shining in her eyes, along with the fear that I knew we were all feeling. Paxton and his men were infamous in the pack. They had only left us alone because of our parents. That was before they cold-heartedly removed our parents from being an obstacle to them anymore.

Cara quietly got up and came to me. We didn't know exactly where the guards were. I also didn't want Rex to return to get me once he knew I was awake. His threat to kill my mate had terrified me. "Can you get us out of here, Cara?" I whispered to her.

I watched her hold her hand out, it was the way she always produced an ice spear, or a fireball. When nothing appeared in her hand, my heart sank. Cara was frustrated about not having her magic as well. I was counting on her being able to take us back to Black Adder. It would be the safest way to get out of here. I was worried about Jaxon now, as I knew that Rex was very serious about his threat. I had known Rex liked me, but I had never considered him. I knew that he wasn't my mate. He wasn't as bad as Paxton or Clay; he just didn't interest me at all. My father always ran interference for me, making sure that Rex never went too far. Dad knew that Rex had a thing for me, but he wouldn't allow us to be a chosen mate. I think Dad had a lot of guilt over how he did Cara's mother. He never actually vocalized it, but I knew he was sad about what he had done. He just had too much pride to admit it. I think his guilt grew the older Cara got, especially since she looked so much like her mother. Dad had cared for Saoirse. He just couldn't reject his true mate. Dad may have gone about things badly, but I know that he loved them both very much.

"Lena managed to drug us. I don't have my powers back yet. Jana and her friend used a lot of power to knock my Mom and the rest of the group out. I can tell that my mother is not awake yet, so there is no point in calling for her. We just have to be patient, as I know that our mates are coming for us. I hope to regain my power soon, but I don't know when. Are you and the baby OK? Are you hurting anywhere?" Cara asked me.

"I am OK. I guess Lena spiked the punch. I didn't drink the punch because of the pup. I am just worried about Jaxon. Rex just told me that he was going to kill Jaxon and is hoping that he will be my second-chance mate. I am scared, Cara," I whispered to Cara and couldn't stop my tears.

"They will be safe, Brenna, don't worry. They will expect Paxton and his men to have tricks up their sleeves. I remember when I was in the hospital, Jaxon told the Council that if Paxton came back, he would consider it an act of war. I heard them talking in the SUV. They think that they have a few days before our mates show up. I am afraid that they are in for a surprise. They are coming for us, and they will save us. You just protect yourself and your baby. I heard them talking about a house that they built for us. Clay wanted to take us back to the Beta house. Paxton told him that they were sticking to the plan," Cara told me. I could tell by her tone that I didn't want to know their plan for us.

"They want us to come to them voluntarily. They want us to accept them as our mates willingly. Paxton got onto Clay. Clay has been wanting Luna for a while now and wanted to take Luna to bed tonight. I am glad that Rex and Paxton stopped him. Clay is absolutely disgusting" Cara whispered back to me.

I shuddered, just thinking about anyone other than Jaxon touching me. I felt sick at the thought of it. I wiped the tears off my face and said, "You are right, Cara. Our mates are coming for us. They will never leave us here with them. I will never give in. I will fight them to the death if necessary," I stated with resolve.

"Paxton gave the guard strict instructions not to let Lisa get near us. But you know Lisa, she always manages to replace a way. We need to keep our guard up. I hope my mother links me when she is strong enough to come and get us out of here. Even if I can't get us out of here, I am sure she will. It is the very safest way," Cara responded decisively.

I could tell how upset she was at her mother having been hurt. I understood. They hit Raven and Jaxon's sisters too. I cannot imagine how upset Jaxon was at replaceing out that not only was I taken, but several of his siblings and mother had been injured as well. I remember seeing the madness in Lena's eyes when she confronted us. The incident between us on the training field wasn't even that bad, not in my opinion. Obviously, Lena had issues before we arrived. How was she holding a grudge against me over it? Even her father backed me in making everyone stronger by training more often. I could have really hurt Lena, but I didn't. I extended her grace. She, in turn, made up a plan to destroy me. I will enjoy ending that bitch once I get back to Black Adder.

Luna stirred, and when she woke up, she looked like she felt sick. Like physically ill. She got up from her cot and ran to the sink to wash and rinse her mouth out. I didn't blame her, but we were trying to keep the noise level down. I couldn't hear anyone in the hallway. Brenna also listened for footsteps in the hallway once Luna turned the water off.

No one approached, but we highly doubted that we were alone. They were probably in place, near us, just down the hallway. They were just being quiet. We just wanted them to believe that we thought that we were alone. We all stayed quiet for a little while, no one knowing exactly what to say. We hadn't had time to come up with anything. Plus, we didn't want them to return and get us now that we were all awake. We all sat on one cot and comforted each other.

I was the first to speak again. "I swear that I am going to kill Lena when we get back to Black Adder," I said with determination.

"You don't have to worry about her anymore, Brenna. I had been thinking that very same thing, but apparently, Paxton already had her killed," Cara told us before shivering. I know Lena had to have been terrified. I had already been privy to Cara describing how gruesome Jana looked while on the attack in her vampire form. I couldn't imagine seeing Jana like that. Despite liking Alexei so much, I was scared of being around vampires. Cara must have been scared out of her mind, yet she still managed to protect herself. I cannot imagine fighting off one of them, let alone two of them. I am sure that Lena's last moments were panic-stricken, to say the least.

"So that was the worst of it, Cara? They want us to become their mates?" I asked. I had a feeling that she was keeping something from us.

"No, there was more," Cara stated and paused. We could tell that she was trying to figure out how to best tell us what she had heard. "Paxton has apparently built a home for us all to live in, away from the packhouse. He will keep us there, away from the rest of the pack. Along with wanting us to live there, they want us to bear their pups. I will keep checking to see if I can regain my powers, but I am weak right now. We just need to pray that my mother heals faster than me. Once I can sense her again, we will call her. She may come quickly before she is fully healed. She has told me before that our powers are much weaker if our strength is depleted. She may only be able to teleport us one at a time, so Brenna can go first, and then you, Luna. I am sure they are caring for her and everyone else they hurt. We need to get some rest. We will fight better after we get some rest."

We set the three cots up so the cell door couldn't be opened without waking us up, as the door swung into the cell. The cot closest to the door was left empty, so they couldn't reach us. We used one of the blankets to cover the metal bars between the other two cots. Cara insisted on sleeping on the raised and uncomfortable part between the cots. Cara had us cover up together with the two remaining blankets. It was cold and wet down here in the cells. Luna and I had the cloth part of the cot to sleep on and our wolves to help keep us warm. Luna's wolf was not fully back to her yet, but she was beginning to wake up.

I slept with my back towards the bars, and my arm draped protectively over my stomach. I knew exactly how blessed I was. Despite being the youngest, Luna took up point for the three of us. She insisted on being the first person they would encounter upon entering the cell. Cara was doing the same. They both wanted to protect me and my pup, no matter what happened to them in trying to protect me. Cara is basically a human now. I could feel the tears stinging my eyes as I prayed to the Goddess that Jaxon was coming to save us. I won't let Paxton or his goons hurt me, my sisters, or my pup. They are about to learn just how ruthless I can be.
