8: Alexander

{Previously: Talia had awoken from a coma in a new world, which is known as the World of Wolves. Jason has been Alpha of the werewolf pack that has been taking care of Talia while she was in a coma, and Jason decided to make her Luna of the pack when he finds out she's awake. Since they forgot each other, other than each other's names, Jason doesn't know how he feels about Talia completely, but his wolf is concerned.}

Talia's Pov

I'm in the World of Wolves, a world of werewolves, and the Alpha of the pack has a name that makes my heart flutter. What is going on with my life?  This world i full of people who shift into wolves and they call their groups packs, like actual wolf packs! But...the only people I have met here, so far, is a Gamma, an Alpha, and a Beta, and only the Alpha makes me feel safe here.

"Maybe you feel safe here because you may know the Alpha, on a personal level?" I hear someone ask from the doorway. I turn around and see two ladies: one with slightly dark skin and straight black hair, and one with skin as light as my own and straight red hair. It was the pale redhead who asked the question.

"How am I supposed to know Jason on a personal level? I just met him!" I say to them, sitting on the soft bed. I woke up in this room, the walls being a dark blue and the bedding matching them.

"Alpha Jason told us about a girl who has hair that fades from red to blue and has blue eyes and who's name is Talia. He even describe the her eyes as a dark blue with icy blue mixed in. You fit that description perfectly, so we thought you were that girl." The dark haired one said, smiling. It's final, these people are crazy.

I shake my head no and stand up, walking past them and into the hallway. I know they are following me, I can feel their eyes boring into the back of my head. I go down some stairs, and through more hallways, until I'm in front of a dark oak door. I can feel Jason's presence on the other side of the door, and I know that the ladies are behind me. I push open the door and what I see makes me double over with laughter. Jason is getting his ass kicked by a little boy in a video game. The ladies behind me snicker and Jason looks over at me like I shouldn't me laughing. The little strikes another kill on Jason and the Alpha growls and focuses on the video games again. How can he find time to play games with little kids when he has a pack to take care of?

"Will you stop laughing and maybe pick up a controller to help me beat this kid?!" Jason exclaims, a small smile on his face. I comply, grab a controller and sit down next to Jason.

In the game I shoot down the kid several times, then I start aiming for Jason. I shoot him once, then twice, then another five times. I hear him mutter something and the kid leaves with the ladies who had followed me. Now it's just me and Jason, alone playing a video game. I kill him again and again, making him really frustrated, until he throws his controller into the flat screen television, he then takes my controller out of my hands and does the same thing. Anger issues much, am I right?

Then I'm caught off guard by what Jason does next: he grabs the front of my shirt, pulls me closer, and kisses me on the lips. My eyes flutter shut and I kiss back, my whole body melting into his. I can feel his arms wrap around my waist and I wrap mine around his neck, deepening the kiss. I hear him growl as he pulls away, putting his face in the crook of my neck. I sigh and keep my eyes close, relishing this moment.

Then, images flash past my eyes: Me talking to a hooded figure in a tavern; Jason saving my life from multiple assassins; Jason and I kissing after I tackled him, plus several other intimate situations between us; and, finally, us going through the portal. The last thing I said to him, before we came to this new world, is "I love you."

Tears form in my eyes and stream down my cheeks, I hug Jason and don't let him go. I can't let him go. Not again. I just hold onto him, even when he asks me to, I don't. So we just sit there, holding onto each other. I can feel the warmth he emits through our clothes, then it's all ruined when I hear someone clear their voice.

"And what do you two think you're doing?" I turn around and see Nika standing at the door with Mykile behind her. Nika's eyes are darker than they were when I last saw her, is she maybe jealous?

"Uh...cuddling..?" I say, standing up. I can feel my face heat up, and I can sorta feel the need to hide behind a wall of fire and ice. That would be okay, right? Maybe I should burn a few trees down instead? Yeah, that sounds like a plan for every time I get embarrassed.

I push my way past them and through the door, heading to the front door that's on the bottom floor. Once there, I exit the house and slam the door behind me, and I almost sprint to the woods. Why am I running?

Jason's Pov

"Uh...cuddling..?" Talia says as she stands up and heads out the door, pushing past my Gamma and Beta. Did they really have to ruin our moment?

I stand up and sit in the chair behind my solid oak desk, motioning for them to come in and close the door. I can see the worried look on Mykile's face and the anger and jealousy in Nika's eyes. Guess something big happened, but what was it? I motion for them to sit down so we could talk about this.

"What is it that made you two barge in and interrupt mine and Talia's moment?" I ask them, I know something isn't right. I can feel it in my bones.

"There's a magic wielder in front of the house, he seems to know who you are and where you came from, same with Talia, Alpha." Mykile says, sitting down on one of the leather chairs that are in front of my desk. A magic wielder in my territory who knows who me and Talia are?

"Bring this magic wielder to the dungeons and lock him up, I don't want the pack to see him, they may kill him." I dismiss Mykile, giving him those orders, and watch him close the door behind him. I then turn to Nika, expecting an explanation as to why she came.

"The magic wielder says his name is Alexander Scarstone, and he's on the run from the Royals in your home world. Should we really keep him in the dungeon? It may be dangerous, for all of us." Nika says, sitting down in the chair Mykile was sitting in. I know I heard that name somewhere before, but where and when?

"I'll interrogate him soon enough, Nika. Don't worry about this Alexander Scarstone, he isn't a threat." I tell her, "Now please leave my office at once, and bring Talia back here, me and her have unfinished business."

She nodded and left, closing my office door on her way out. I run my hands through my hair, the thought of a potential threat heavy in my mind. What if Alexander is here to bring us back? What if he wants to kill us for leaving the Kingdome? What if the Queen ordered him to take me out and to bring Talia back to marry that Symin dude? I can't have any of that, I can't lose Talia again.

Alex's Pov

"Come with me." A wolf orders, his eyes blazing. This one had a particular power level, lower than Jason's, but still holds power. He has to be the Beta of this wolf pack. I saw Talia running into the forest, a powerful wolf's sent on her.

I follow the Beta around the mansion and into a cellar, then I'm shoved into a cell. Wow, what a great way to welcome someone! I hear the cell door lock and, when I turn around to glare at the Beta, I meet the glare of an angered, or annoyed, Alpha. He looks exactly like Jason: well kept, light brown hair and hazel eyes. He glares at me with a snarl on his lips and curiosity in his eyes.

"Well, hello there deary. How has it been living with the wolves?" I ask, smirking.

"Why are you here, Alexander?" He asks me, snarling. He can't scare me that easily, but I might as well play along. This'll be fun.

"I'm here because I want to be, or because the Queen ordered me to drag you and your magical toy back to her." I say, watching him intently. His eyes turn to a dark color, maybe black, then growls lowly. "It's a joke, man."

"I don't take kindly to jokes like that, Alexander." 

"What got your tail in a bunch?"

"Why you little--"

"Alpha, the Gamma would like to speak with you in person." The Beta interrupted the pissed off Alpha. Or should I say assassin? Jason followed the Beta out of the basement-dungeon-thing, leaving me alone in this stupid cell. 

A sharp pain goes shooting through my skull, worse than a headache and concussion combined. I try to relieve the pain with some of my magic, but it only makes it worse. "Don't try to resist the pull..." a nasally voice echoes in my head, "You have to get us into the forest!" I try to get the cell door open, only to almost dislocate my shoulder. I try magic, opening the door and receiving a worse pain in my skull. I dash out of the dungeon and towards the forest, making it just as a bunch of wolves come to capture me. I keep running, but the pain in my skull spreads to my limbs. I collapse in the middle of a field, a fire-like pain in my whole body.

I feel my limbs grow, break, and reform. I black out from the excruciating pain, hearing my own screams in my ears.

I open my eyes, only to find everything in more of a high definition than usual. I stand up, realizing that I'm not a human, I see scales go from my clawed feet to my shoulders, and I have a tail that's covered in scales. I then spot a pitch black wolf growling at me, a girl with red and blue hair sitting against a tree behind him, unconscious.

I lift off the ground, flying away from them. That was Talia and Jason, right? It had to be. How am I a dragon? Maybe it  has something to do with how my parents were daemons? Or maybe because of this new world? Would that mean that Talia will be able to shift into a wolf, or maybe a dragon? So many other questions flit through my mind as I fly over the dark green treetops, not stopping until I make it to a mountain. I then huddle into a cave, able to go back to a human form. This can't be real.

[Hey guys! I so hope y'all liked this chapter, the dragon thing is something one of my friends suggested, so credit to him! If you would like, you can all suggest what made Talia be unconscious at the end of this chapter. Cya!]
