C6 Fear

Izzy heard the horrid sound of a human scream then a wolf howling and it terrified her and Orien to no end. The last thing they heard was Uncle Eddie had escaped and he was going to try to get help for them and the others. That was the last time they heard from their uncle, their beta when they felt his tether snap. They hugged each other crying fiercely swearing they were going to kill Wade and his family when they can.

Shelby woke up screaming and panting as she felt something snap in her head. She knew what had happened, someone from her pack was just murdered and when daylight came, she had to go investigate. Her siblings had no clue that she was there looking for them and she was close by. She retrieved her phone sending a text to Jacob letting him know she is right where she should be, that someone from their pack just died. Jacob wanted to come where she was, but she told him to stay put, they could not afford for the entire family to be murdered. He too felt the tether of his uncle snap sending him to his knees holding his head.

Mac was walking by her room when she woke up screaming right at the same time he received a mind-link from Tristen with the visual of what just happened. He knew all too well of that scream as they felt the same thing when someone from their pack died. Thor, his wolf, was telling he needs to go in and console the woman. He knocked on the door and waited for an answer when he heard the patting of feet hitting the floor.

Whisper, Shelby’s wolf, was prancing around her head despite the pain they both just felt. Shelby opened the door and saw the most gorgeous man standing in front of her. Mac had the greenest eyes with mahogany brown hair and a body to match it all. They looked at each other and the word ‘mate’ came out of their mouths at the same time.

She was surprised that she would find her mate there of all places. He pulled her into his arms and consoled her and she hugged him back then pulling away abruptly. Looking at him curiously as to why he was there at that very moment when she felt pain in her heart.

“I am sorry to bother you, mate, but I heard you scream and crying and Thor, my wolf, pushed me to check on you. Are you okay, beautiful?”

“Umm, a pack member who is on this island just died. But I cannot talk right now, and I promise I will explain everything later.”

“Sure, that is fine beautiful, I will leave you but first what is your name?”

“Shelby, Shelby Lynx and what is your name, mate?”

“Maclane Silverstone, but call me Mac.”

“Nice to meet you Mac but I need to get back to sleep I have some business to attend to in a few hours. I can meet you by the beach later?”

“Until then, beautiful.” He kissed her cheek and turned to leave for his room he was sharing with his brothers.

Shelby ran to the bathroom doing her business and washed her cheek and hands then headed back to bed and fell asleep dreaming of the hunk she called ‘mate.’

She had to get the smell of her mate off her so that Wade would not smell another man on her. She would not know how he would react if she was kissed by another man even though they are not married legally, this was something she did not want to chance. She went back to bed and fell into a deep slumber of nightmares.

Her dream took he to a dark place where Wade was taking humans and bringing them to the island where he and his family were turning them into vampires. She saw where he entered an orphanage and bought several children of different ages telling them they will have freedom if they go with him and not run away. He made promises that were told to him and some of his brothers and sisters hundreds of years ago.

She watched as told them lies as they followed blindly behind him to the boat they take to come to the island. The accommodations were less than impressive, they lied on dirt floors, with tattered blankets and pillows, that stunk worse than being at the orphanage. The only thing that was different they were not being abused with whips, chains, wood planks and whatever the keepers could get their hands on.

She saw them running away screaming as they did not want to die or turned into a new vampire tore at her heart. She was running to them grabbing for them and guide then where to go into hiding until she returned. She was trying to save them, but she could not do that, they ran right through her as she watched with horror. They were being bitten, beaten for running away, put on stakes alive for punishment only to beg to live until they were beheaded. She screamed with all her might trying to get them to hear her but to no avail she failed them, failed them all as she watched them parish.

Wade had gotten off the elevator when he heard a loud scream coming from down the hall. He took off running towards their room when he was set into a panic attack. He heard her telling them to run go into hiding and she would be right back, then screaming at Wade and another man that she was going to kill for what they were doing. His eyes flew wide open not knowing what was happening.

He gripped her shoulders shaking her awake to get her out of her nightmare, but she was hitting him and pushing him off her. She could not wake up from her nightmare as she tried. But the screams form these children were unbearable for her to handle. She was trying to wake up but felt sparks running through her skin as she woke up breathing extremely heavy, panting, and gasping for air. She was looking into Macs eyes as he ran into the room pushing Wade from her. He was the only one who could get her to wake up and calm down.

She looked over at Wade with such hatred she flew out of bed cold cocking him on his cheek causing an instant black eye.

“What the fucking hell was that for you bitch?” he yelled at her.

“That is for buying all the orphans from that orphanage and turning them into a vampire and killing them while they were alive on stakes for punishment if they fought you. They wanted freedom, to be loved, not turned into blood suckers. You beheaded them regardless of what age they were. I fucking hate you!” she spat back at him.

He let her hit him and take her anger out on him as he knows this is the truth from his past but not now. No, now it is a crime to do this and the new laws in place will not allow this, as it is a crime punishable by death, immediately. He had to do something quick, the only thing he knew was to kiss her and he did not want that for his true mate would feel that betrayal. When he kissed her to bring her to reality she gasped and looked at him.

“It was a nightmare Shelby, just a nightmare that I could not bring you back, but this kind gentleman was able to. We could have lost you in there, in your nightmare. Tell us what happened?”

“You...you and some others bought children from that horrid pace and brought them here, here where you killed them or turned them into vampires did you not?”

“I am not a vampire Shelby.”

“Do not lie to me Wade, I can see those eyes and they tell the truth.”

Mac had gone outside the room but listened intently on the conversation gaining information for him and his brothers benefit in finding those that are imprisoned there on the island. Just keep him talking he said quietly in his mind.

Wade looked at her wondering how she knew what he had done all those years ago. He knew something was awry about her but could not put his finger on it. He let it slide for now but would have to figure her out and why this unknown man came running into the room ambling her to come out of her sleep.

He carried her back to the bed, “I will stay here with you for the rest of the night and try to protect you from your nightmares. Sleep Shelby, I will hold you.”

Not knowing that Mac was fuming on the other side of the door ready to bust in but took off out of the suite closing the door quietly as he left. He went back to his suite and slammed the door as his brothers were watching his actions.

“Was that our mate brother?”

“Yes, she had a nightmare seeing when Wade took the children from the orphanage and brought them here. She saw what he truly was at that time, and he refused to tell her the truth.”

“They all will die soon brother; she is our destiny.” Tristen said.
