5. Chapter: The Tell

                                    

                                          
Together with Lydia and Jackson, I was standing in front of a store in the middle of the night, and actually, I didn't feel like doing anything with them because I would be the fifth wheel on the car as so often. Unfortunately, Lydia forced me to come along and now we had gone to a MovieShop.
                          
Jackson and Lydia were arguing about which movie we should watch and I stopped listening at some point.
                          
"Kay, say what?"Jackson suddenly approached me and knowing that Lydia definitely wanted to see the same movie "Like in a Day" again, I said, "We could really watch something different."
                          
"There, you hear it!" Jackson agreed, but Lydia only said we were going to watch her movie. I rolled my eyes, but decided to go into business with Jackson.
                          
When we were inside, I jerkingly stopped in my movement while Jackson called for someone. I sniffed the air again, hoping that I would be wrong, but then the familiar iron-smelling smell came up my nose again. It was blood.
                          
Immediately, my body tightened and my muscles were in defense mode. Slowly I was running through the store with Jackson and as we were running through the shelves, the smell of fresh blood became clearer and suddenly Jackson was holding me by the forearm. I turned to him, wanted to ask what was going on, and was horrified to find that the salesman was lying on the floor with blood on him. I stepped back while my veins freeze. Jackson was still holding me and suddenly pulled me to him, so I was looking at the exit.
                          
"We have to get out of here", he told me in a trembling voice and I nodded in agreement, but could not say anything.
                          
When I suddenly heard a soft growl, I knew right away. He was here and he was in the same room with us. It was the Alpha. My hair was chafing and I saw Jackson looking behind me in a panic.
                          
"Come on!" I whispered and Jackson reacted by grabbing me tightly by the wrist and then pulling me behind a shelf. We looked at each other in panic and I could hear him and my heart beating clearly fast.
                          
I took a deep breath in and out to at least calm down a little bit, because while I was a werewolf, Jackson remained a normal person, and he needed to be protected.
                          
With difficulty and hardship, I kept my inner werewolf, my beta, suppressed, and I would love to fight the Alpha, but unfortunately, Jackson should know as little about this world as possible. Jackson took a quick look around the shelf and wanted to check if the Alpha was still there. That's when I heard the shelves fall down behind us, and I reacted by rushing out.
                          
Jackson also wanted to respond, but with his human abilities he could no longer do it and his legs were trapped.
                          
"Jackson!" I shouted in shock and quickly grabbed his arm to pull him out. I closed my eyes and tried to use my strength in a controlled manner to free Jackson. But before I could do that, I was already thrown against a wall. As soon as I banged on the floor and stood upright again, I was pressed against the wall and the red eyes, which I know all too well, stared at me. "Such a beautiful wolf and soon you'll be mine. My beloved Kay. "
                          
Then my eyes suddenly blackened, feeling a headache, and I couldn't see anything.
                          
Just as someone "Kay! Kayla!!!!!KAY!!!" cried, I opened my eyes and griped reflexively for the arm that touched me to be able to defend myself as quickly as possible.
                          
"Hey, hey! Kay it's me!" the person said out of breath and then I realized it was Jackson. "Let's go out. Come on, I'll help you", he said anxious, and I nodded only weakly, still dumbfished by the previous situation.
                          
When I got up, I screamed because of an unbearable pain in my leg. Obviously, it was broken and I couldn't stand. Luckily for me, Jackson was there, muttering "I got you", and carrying me out of the store.
