Mine – The Alpha's Possession by Kylie

CHAPTER 40

TAYLOR POV

After Stefan and I went for our walk around the gardens after dinner he walked me back to my room and we said goodnight and I went into my room and closed the door.

I had a shower and washed my hair and washed all the makeup off my face and then I got dressed for bed. But I grabbed a book and a chair and I sat on the balcony reading for a little while and looking out at the view.

I wondered how the dragons stayed hidden because they weren’t that far away from us. How was Layla able to keep them so quiet and to stop them from attacking. It seemed a little crazy to me. But I guess that was just one more thing that I would find outeventually. So, I sat there reading for a little while until I got really tired and I took everything back inside and I shut the balcony doors and I climbed into bed.

I was lying on my side looking out the balcony doors thinking for a long time before I heard something buzzing. So, I opened my bedside table and I grabbed my phone out and there was a text message on

JACKSON – I know that you don’t want to talk to me. But I need to know that you’re alright. Just give me a sign please. Any kind. of sign.

ME I’m here. I’m alright. Let me know if you get this message.

JACKSON – I got the message. It took a while to come through though. The signal is really weak.

–

ME Yeah. Same here. Just know that I’m alright.

JACKSON – You’re in danger. Vincent isn’t what he seems.

ME – I know. I’m trying to figure it out now.

I know that there’s something wrong here.

Don’t worry about me.

But then it came back unsent. We lost our signal and couldn’t communicate anymore. So I put the phone back in my drawer and I stared up at the ceiling thinking about Jackson. And what he could possibly be doing right about now.

Well, he was just messaging me so I guess that he’s worried about me. He was trying to warn me about Vincent. But I thought that Eric was the real threat. It makes me think that he does actually care. He is always running hot and cold. He does want me and then he doesn’t want me. What the hell am I supposed to think.

I guess I will have to have a good talk with him when I finally get the hell out of this realm. If that ever does happen. Because right now, I’m doubting that I am ever going to get powers here. No matter how much I try and how much I concentrate, nothing seems to come out. Maybe I’m more werewolf than faerie. That is always possible. I might not have any fae powers at all.

But that doesn’t make sense either. Because Jackson could sense that there was something different about me from the first moment he met me. Which means that there.

is some faerie in me that he could sense. I wish my life could just be easier. Simpler.
