Mated To The King’s Gamma By Jessica Hall

Chapter 55

Chapter 55

My feet ached from running, my muscles ached and my body screamed at me to stop. I wanted nothing more than to lay down, to catch my breath as I ran blindly through deserted dark streets. I had no idea if I was even running in the right direction, or how far the town was, making decisions at each corner harder.

The fact I couldn’t read any of the signs made it even harder. Yet still I ran praying that Ivy was on her way to me. Praying she picked up on my subtle message, hope was all I had especially once the howls rang clearly through sky.

His voice in my head demanding me to return to him, yelling and screaming at me. Then he would tone it down, trying to make out he wasn’t a monster.

“You tell me your whereabouts love, I will come get you. You stop at anyone’s door and hand yourself in and we can go home and put this past us.” He tells me though I knew what waited for me if I did.

“Fucking whore! When I find you, I will make sure you can never run from me again!” he snarls angrily after a few minutes. Then back to the coaxing in gentle tones, only for his true colors to shine through.

By the time I was out of the town and on a long stretch of road, my feet were bleeding, my shirt drenched with blood and I was limping worse, then when I started. My hand pressed firmly against my side as I tried to stem the bleeding. Yet hope came in the form of a service station. It’s light a burning beacon, and I picked up my pace, nearly there, yet I’m not oblivious to how the howls grew closer and the sound of revving engines of cars tore up the town behind me, headed my way

Reaching the service station. I rush inside, scaring the man behind the counter as i locked the glass door.

“Ma’am?” the man says as I peer out the windows. Turning around, his eyes run the length of me where I was dripping blood on the floor.

“Someone is after me! I need your phone!” I gush, moving toward him. He seems stunned by my bloody appearance before shaking his head and looking for his phone. “I have a first aid kit,” he tells me after passing the phone. He asks questions and unlocks the door while peering out. I reach into my pockets to find the piece of paper with the number on it that Alana gave me, while trying to answer him too. My hands shook as I punched the number into the corded phone to ring Ivy. I mean Azalea. I’m trying to wrap my head around her new name but seem to resort to the old one out of habit. When the phone starts calling, I hold it to my ear.

“Pick up. Pick up.” I whisper, not realizing the call had already connected.

“Abbie?” she asks,

“There should be a microphone picture. Press it so I can hear,” Dustin says in the background, it sounded like they were in a car. “Are you there?” I ask while glancing around the windows.

“Yes, can you hear me?” Ivy asks, the phone volume turning a little static and crackling.

A sob escapes me. “Ivy! Oh please, thank God!” I gasp.
