Chapter Thirteen
"Let me go!" Camilla yelled but her voice came out in muffles. She kicked her legs all over the place but she didn't get any response. Her eyes, mouth and hands were tied making her frustrated. She didn't know where she was and her arms were tightly tied behind her, it was hurting her a lot. She heard a door open and shut. She felt someone tug on the material that was tied around her eyes. The material was removed along with the one around her mouth.
She tried to scream but a hand covered her mouth. She wanted to lick the palm of the person but she decided against it. She looked at the figure that was standing a couple of feet away from her and she tried to remember where she saw that face before.
"No one will hear you if you decide to shout, so don't waste your time." The kidnapper said and the person that held Camilla's mouth removed his hand.
"Do I know you?" Camilla asked confused. She looked at the face that was familiar yet strange, where have I seen this face before?
"I don't know what he sees in you." The girl said looking at Camilla in distaste. "I'm Ciara, the girl you stole Jordan from." The kidnapper introduced herself and Camilla realized she was the one that Jordan was with on Friday.
"Wait.. stole?" Camilla asked confused and Ciara scoffed.
"Out of all places, he was with you on the night of the trifecta ritual." Ciara said angrily.
"Trifecta what?" Camilla asked. Everything Ciara kept saying was like gibberish to Camilla. Uncle Russell's book didn't even mention anything about a ritual.
"You don't know anything, do you?" Ciara said smugly, "that night, when you were being all cozy with my fiance, Jordan was supposed to perform the trifecta ritual which was going to make him stronger and make me his for eternity." She sneered. Camilla paused to process the information before she remembered what happened to her and Jordan that night.
"I didn't know that the ritual even exists" Camilla said trying to defend herself. Ciara laughed but her eyes clearly showed how pissed off she was.
"I was groomed my whole life to get married to Jordan. I was even home schooled just so I can learn all about the pack's politics and then you came along from nowhere and snatched Jordan away from me!" Ciara yelled. She slowly walked towards Camilla like a predator and raised her fully clawed hand. Camilla closed her eyes and waited for the impact.
A loud ringing tone was heard stopping Ciara. She took out her phone before cursing.
"Watch her, I'll be back soon" she said before leaving the place. The guard that was kept in charge of Camilla stood by the door emotionless.
"Will she kill me?" Camilla asked letting out a shaky breath. The guard glanced at her before looking away.
"If you are lucky" he replied surprising Camilla. Even though she was the one that asked him the question, she didn't expect him to answer. " Or she'll just leave you here to rot. You won't be the first." He added making Camilla choke on her spittle. "Her former housekeeper, the butler, the maid that stole her earrings, they all ended that way so that's a possibility for you." The guard added oblivious to the fact that Camilla was already looking pale.
"What time is it?" Camilla asked weakly. She was already feeling light-headed after hearing how she might end up.
"6:30" the guard replied and Camilla nodded.
********
Jordan finally came out of the school yet again. He walked to his car and couldn't see Camilla. He wondered if she already left but the thought of that left his head when he saw his keys and Camilla's school bag on the ground. He sniffed the air and caught a hint of a familiar scent, wolves. He tried calling Camilla's phone but it rang in her backpack.
Jordan decided to follow the scent but the scent didn't guide him long enough. He stopped at the main road and he could not perceive their scent anymore, not even Camilla's. He groaned in frustration making the passers-by look at him weirdly.
********
After he called Ciara for help, he waited in front of her house for her. He and Ciara may have been engaged but they were best friends and that's why she was the first person he called. It was already getting late and the full moon was almost out. If Camilla was somehow abducted by werewolves, then i have to save her before the full moon comes out. Her life is in danger, he thought. He saw Ciara walk towards him and he instantly felt bad. He left her all alone on the night of their engagement but he didn't have another option.
"Ciara, I need your.." he started but he perceived a strange scent on Ciara before growling angrily. "Where is she?" He growled and Ciara gritted her teeth in anger. "If you don't tell me now Ciara, I'm going to make you sorry" he said angrily.
"Why her? What's so good about her?!" Ciara yelled angrily. Her eyes were starting to fill with tears but she blinked them away.
"We can't have this discussion now. It's almost.." Jordan started.
"Why can't we talk now? She's always going to be your priority. I spent my whole life loving you and you treat me like this? I hate you so much!" She yelled hitting his chest with her fists. Jordan held her hands immediately and let out a deep growl making her step back.
"Don't you dare talk to me like that!" He growled and Ciara looked down. He was the future alpha so his voice held command. "The full moon will soon come out and she is in danger. If any wolf sees her, that's it for her. So tell me where she is?"
*******
Jordan ran like his life depended on it. After he found out that there was a guard with Camilla, his fear grew. He looked at the sky and he saw the moon that was almost fully out. He reached the old farm shed and sighed in relief. He was about to open the door when he heard a shriek coming from the back of the shed. He ran to the back and he felt his heart drop.
Camilla's face was filled with fear and pain. Her curly hair was all over the place and her hands were still tied. The guard who has fully morphed to his wolf form was facing Camilla with blood in his canines. Jordan growled in anger and kicked the wolf away. The wolf was about to attack Jordan when he saw who it was. The wolf whimpered and ran into the forest.
Camilla felt her leg turn to jelly and she started seeing black dots. The last thing she heard was Jordan yelling her name and she passed out.
Jordan caught Camilla immediately and drew her to his side. He saw blood drop on the floor and he looked at her leg. The wolf had bitten Camilla. He carried her in his back and morphed to his wolf. He ran to the safest place he knew, Mark's house.
********
Mark stood up from his porch when he saw Jordan run towards his house. He saw the girl on Jordan's back and he knew that something was wrong. Mark carried Camilla down from Jordan's back and carried her inside. He looked at her injury and then at her jeans.
"Get me scissors and the first aid kit in the kitchen" he commanded and Jordan who was now in his human form ran to the kitchen. He came out few seconds later with everything Mark needed.
"How is she?" Jordan asked nervously. Mark sighed and looked at Jordan after he wrapped Camilla's leg.
"You know what this means right?" Mark asked and Jordan nodded. "She should wake up anytime soon" Mark said before taking the kit inside. Jordan knelt beside Camilla on the couch ad held her hand.
"I'm so sorry" he whispered holding her hand tightly. Her hand curled and he looked at her immediately. "Are you ok?" Jordan asked immediately. Camilla nodded before looking around.
"Where am I?" Camilla asked trying to sit up. She looked at her leg and memories of what happened flooded in her mind.
"My uncle's house" Jordan replied. He didn't want to ignore the elephant in the room so he decided to speak up. "About your leg..." He started.
"Am I going to be a wolf?" She asked bluntly. She read the entire chapter about werewolves so she knew what happened when a human is bitten by a wolf.
"Yeah" Jordan replied, "I'm so sorry" he said looking at her guiltily. Camilla sighed and looked away. It was a lot for her to take in. Just that morning, her biggest problem was maths class and now, she got bitten by wolf.
"You have the tattoo" she heard Jordan whisper. She looked at him in confusion and he pointed at her neck. She looked down and couldn't see anything. She picked the phone beside her and turned on the front camera. She faced the camera on the base of her neck and saw a tattoo of a moon drawn in golden on her neck.
"What's this tattoo for? How did I even get it?" Camilla asked in confusion. She looked at the tattoo and looked at the identical one on Jordan's chest.
"On Friday night, there was a ritual that was supposed to make me a trifecta wolf. I missed the ritual when I came to your house. The moon was to bond Ciara and I but it bonded us instead." Jordan replied.
