“Extra small she thinks” I stop.
” Sage spoke to you?” I ask him but he shakes his head.
“No Seirra her wolf told me, her human is angry she told you” I nod leaving her be and going downstairs.
“Size?”
“Extra small and grabs some in small just incase, make sure they are warm too” I tell him before handing him my wallet.
“Anything else?”
“Um hair ties and a brush, I don’t know girlie shit I guess” I tell him.
“This would be so much easier if there was some women here” He mutters, I pretend to not notice but I knew my men were lonely.
“You will find your mate” I tell him and he nods before I open the door letting him out.
“Hopefully those that lost theirs get a second chance too” He says and I nod, I hope the same thing.
Closing the door I head upstairs hoping her wolf may speak some more. I grab some towels and some of my clothes, she will have to roll the pants to hold them up if she decides to shift back. Walking into the bathroom I set them on the basin before walking into the spare room.
“Zane has gone to get you some clothes, you can shower if you want. I put some clothes in the bathroom and you can lock the door, I mean it Sage I won’t hurt you” I tell her.
She doesn’t move and I walk out heading back downstairs. I sit in the living room turning the TV on and watching the news while I wait for dinner to cook. After about 2o minutes I hear the bathroom door close, but when 1o minutes pass and I don’t hear the shower running I walk up the steps. I stop at the bathroom door and knock on it.
Sage POV
That woman said he wouldn’t hurt me,Sierra wanted to take him up on the offer to shower, mainly she wanted a rest of being in this form constantly. I try to take back control as she comes out from under the bed. She pops her head out the bedroom door looking toward the stairs yet I could hear the TV was on downstairs and I couldn’t see him anywhere.
” Sierra, go back” I tell her when she steps into the hall.
“I don’t think he is like them” Sierra tells me.
“We don’t even know him, stop being blinded by the bond” I tell her but she ignores me instead suddenly shifting back and retreating, her voice a soft murmur in my head.
“We can shift back if he tries anything” She tells me but I was too busy making a dash for the bathroom, my breathing heavy as I closed the door locking it. Goosebumps rise on my arms, my skin exposed to the air, making me cold.
I stared at the door wondering if he would come in, the thought petrified me. My heart is racing in my chest. I wait a few seconds before looking around the bathroom. I found some clothes on the basin and two towels along with some socks. Turning, I looked at the shower yet it didn’t have any taps to turn it on. The bathroom was nice and very clean, I could smell the cleaning chemicals like it had recently been cleaned, it smelt the same as the basement and made my nose burn and eyes water from the toxic scent.
I wave my hand under the shower head, before turning it. “How does it work?” I asked Sierra before feeling her peer out, she seemed just as confused.
Hearing footsteps I tense before hearing a knock on the door. “Let me shift” I tell Sierra but she shake her head. Has she already forgotten what they have done to us, how could she leave me vulnerable in this form.
“There is a door separating you, and if he wanted to get in he wouldn’t have knocked” My wolf tells me.
I think for a second she did have a point. He knocks again.
“Answer him” My wolf urges.
“Sage is everything okay?” Andrei asks, everything slows down except the fast fluttering of my heart as panic takes over. My arms and legs feel like dead weight.
“Sage?” he asks again. I grip the door handle to make sure it is locked, the knob rattling in my shaky hands yet it was still locked.
“I can’t turn it on” I tell him though my voice sounded so small I wasn’t sure if he heard.
“Next to the light switch is a black panel, tap on it” he says, I look for the black panel he mentioned and find it. I tap on it, my fingers shaking uncontrollably.
“You find it?” He asks, I nod before realising he couldn’t see me.
“Yes” I tell him.
“There is a circle with a line through it, press it and a shower head will pop up on the screen then press on it, the water should be at the correct temperature” He explains. I do what he says before hearing the spray shoot out of the shower head.
“I will be downstairs. I put an extra toothbrush in the shower niche already, come down when you are done for Tea please ” He says and I hear him walk off. I place my hand under the water and find the temperature good like he said before stepping under the spray.
I sigh feeling the hot water, so much better than the streams and creeks. I grabbed the soap and lather my skin, the water turning brown as it ran down the drain, my hair was a matted mess and took three washes before it was somewhat clean looking. I brushed my teeth and just stood under the water enjoying the warmth and the feel of being clean. My neck was still aching, and I don’t think it would ever stop from having the chain so tight against my flesh for the last 11 years. I rubbed it and despite spending most of my time in wolf form I could feel the ridges in my skin from where it sat pressed against my skin.
Getting out I rub a hand over the large mirror. My hair was still knotted and I couldn’t find a brush anywhere so I tried to untangle it with my fingers but gave up. I looked different, I can’t remember the last time I looked in a mirror, probably before they took us. I looked like my mother or I think I did, my memory of her was a little grainy these days. Felt like a lifetime ago that she was here.
Staring at the scar that ran the length of my face, it marred one side of my face. I could still feel the heat in the blade as he held it over the fire before dragging the blade down my face as he tried to get my mother to shift back. Looking away I try to shove the memory away and turn toward the edge of the sink basin. I pick up the clothes he left, I sniff them and can smell his scent all over them. I dry myself, my fingers trailing over my ruined body, no that I was clean there wasn’t many parts of me that weren’t scarred or disfigured in some way.
“Don’t look, ” Sierra tells me.
“How can I not, look at them” I tell her.
“Everyone has a past, ours just shows on our skin”
“It’s not the past, we are still in the same mess with a new monster” I tell her but she shakes her head.
“We don’t know that” She says as I pull the shirt over my head. I then grab the pants and socks, putting them on only for the pants to fall to my feet the moment I stand up straight. I even tried to roll them but they were massive on my frame.
“We can walk around like this Sierra let me shift back please ” I beg her tears brimming in my eyes knowing I would be pantsless with them falling down.
“No, Sage. I am tired. I need to rest please. If he tries anything I will shift but until then just see what happens. His wolf is nice, I don’t think he is like the other men” She says.
It was hopeless she wasn’t going to help until he was trying to kill me. I feel anger at her simmer within me as I reach for the door handle and open the door.
“Something smells nice, better than the rodents we usually eat” She says, how could she trust him so blindly, she was acting like a love sick pup, how could she forget he is a man?
I feel her urging me toward the stairs and I look over the bannister but don’t see him. Clutching the pants to hold them up I walk down the steps. The T V was still on and the soft murmurs of voices filled the living room. I stick my head around the corner to see if he is in the huge room. He wasn’t in there, turning around I found him directly behind me though he didn’t move and I nearly had a heart attack.
He moved that silently I didn’t hear him come up behind me.
“I sent someone to get you some clothes, come tea is ready” He says before suddenly turning away and walking off.
“See he could have killed you before you even noticed, he didn’t maybe he isn’t that bad”
