The Wannabe Warrior -
Chapter 50
Madison POV
Luna’s head rolled on to the base of the tree I was hiding in, her eyes staring back up at me, a voice in my head was telling me to go get some revenge on her and Mum. Then her head vanished and the next moment her head was rolling to the base of the tree again and Luna was staring at me, screaming for revenge, louder and more urgently with each repeat of the rolling head.
Then the head stopped rolling and it looked like tears were rolling down the head’s eyes and I looked over and watched my mum get her throat ripped out and her limbs be torn from her body, and I screamed for my mother and Luna, then I saw Alpha and dad, cuddling the head of their mates and the woeful cries that filled the air as their grief over took them, and the heads they were holding were looking at me, calling for me to avenge them.
Then I see the man in Alpha’s office being nice to Alpha and then his head turns to face me and his face changes into a rabid werewolf. He sneers at me, jeering me, telling me he should have got me out of that tree and kill me too, ripping off my head and tearing me limb to limb just like my mother.
I screamed again, and again, until I heard a gentle, kind voice telling me it was a nightmare, and to wake up. I felt k****s on my neck and hands trying to sooth me. I was being held tight to a warm body, as it tried to sooth my aching heart, and pull me from the nightmare, a nightmare I had not had for over a year.
The trip into the cells to rescue Ryan was my first time. I had felt I had saved at least one person from the clutches of that murderer, and that thought triggered the memory that had evolved over time, into a frightening nightmare.
My deep soul sobs, racked my body, as Zane tried hard to comfort me, I wondered if that memory would ever leave me. Every time I have that nightmare, as it calls for revenge, it gets worse.
Mum and Luna, crying out for justice, for me to replace and end the evil, and each time I promise to replace them peace.
The trip here was to replace revenge and justice for their lost lives, and it seemed that it was just around the corner and I only ever dreamed that I would replace the real culprit. I deep down hoped and prayed to the goddess, that I would replace them and kill them, and now it was so close, I wondered if that meant my nightmare would leave me .
I would not stop from trying to kill that man. If he ever came to the packhouse again, he was so close, and I did not know at the time who he was, just a smell. I recognised, but was not sure, if it was from him or someone he had been in contact with, and it irked me that I was polite. To a monster like him, if he dared to visit, I would enact the revenge I so desperately needed. I know I would not be able to stop myself, now that I know it was him.
Zane kept on kissing me, saying soft kind words, cooing and gently swaying me back and forth, and slowly he brought me back, to the here and now.
After some time. Zane managed to calm me down, he was sitting up in bed, holding me to him and he kept up rocking motion. Even after I had stopped crying. Together, we stared out the window, the curtains not drawn closed and we watched the sun rise. I barely had any sleep, two hours at most, but no way was I going back to sleep. I felt like I never wanted to sleep again, for fear of that nightmare invading my thoughts again.
Zane tries to encourage me to talk about the nightmare. I just want to forget it. I promise one day I will tell him, but for now please let me relax and enjoy being in his arms.
A knock on the door pulled us out of the moment who would knock so early in the morning.
Zane climbs out of bed and opens the door.
In walks Ryan, recovered from his night in the cells.
‘Madison, I hope you don’t mind me barging in so early in the morning, I just had to come and thank you for getting me out of the cell. I owe you my life.’ Ryan announced and went down on his knees before me.
‘No, you do not, Ryan, you owe me nothing. Please get up off your knees.’ I pleaded.
He gave me an oath, his life was now to serve me as well as be Beta to the pack, and when his Beta duties are handed over to whoever Zane chooses, he will continue to be my protector and serve my needs. I was shocked, he was so sincere.
I accepted his heartfelt pledge, though I did not want to. I could not let the man stay on his knees any longer, as he was giving me a pleading look to accept. I felt I was now responsible for Ryan’s life, because he had pledged his life to me, and I felt conflicted.
‘How are you doing now? Did you wake up at all?’ I asked.
‘I did, but refused to give any information, so they knocked me back out. I don’t know what they would have done if you had not risked your life to save me. Alpha told me, that if I was caught, to hold tight, so I was surprised to wake up in the hospital. The doctor informed me that you were the one. You carried me on your back, in wolf form. I am forever grateful.’
You’re welcome.’ Was all I could think of saying.
‘Will you tell me how you managed to get in and out?’ Ryan asked.
‘I was going to do a briefing, after breakfast, if you cared to join us in the Alpha office. Would you join us at breakfast? I am hungry.’ I said and my stomach decided to take that opportunity to growl its agreement and staying cuddled up with Zane a little longer was now out of question.
