Chapter 8
Lily
U nable to believe what just happened, anger surges inside me. Anger at him and myself. The fucking asshole took my virginity with no warning and no preparation, and I allowed him. I should have fought him off, but something feels different now. Like an invisible string running between the two of us. The magnetic pull and electric buzz feels like it’s pulling him and I together.
“Get back, don’t touch me.” Anger blazes through my veins, burning a path of rage as I glare at Jackson, warning him not to come near me again. Ignoring my demand, Jackson starts to walk toward me with the intention to touch me and my mind flies through the motions. Before I know it, he’s picked up off the ground and thrown backwards.
My eyes widen as I realize I did that with my mind. I threw someone across a room without even touching them.
“Oh my God, Jackson, I didn’t mean to hurt you. Are you okay?”
He looks at me with furrowed brows, his mouth hanging wide open in shock. His expression makes my fear even worse. If he doesn’t know what is happening to me then how do I even begin to deal with this?
With tears streaming down both cheeks, I back away from him, shaking my head. “I can’t stay here. If I stay, someone will get hurt, and I can’t live with that.”
Jackson steps closer and says, “Baby, don’t run from me. We are going to figure this out. I promise. Lily, let me help you.”
“I feel like I’m going crazy and sinking into madness. It’s like I can’t control my body, or my actions.”
“Let me go talk to Ester. She has to know more. The witch used dark magic to save your life, and we think that, mixed with the shifter blood, is what is causing all of your side effects.” Jackson gently and slowly moves his hands towards my chin. Holding my face until our eyes lock, he whispers, “Promise me you won’t leave me, Lily. We can do this together.”
“Okay, Jackson, I’ll give you a chance to figure this out. I can’t exactly go home like this.”
Jackson brings his mouth to mine and sweeps his tongue along my bottom lip, kissing me. The electric buzz flows through us.
We both get dressed and go to Ester’s cottage across the field from where Jackson lives. As we approach, there’s a heavy feeling of dread in the air.
Jackson steps up and knocks on the door, and moments later, a beautiful blonde woman greets us. She has a smile on her face when she reaches out and rubs her hand down Jackson’s arm. It sends chills through my body and burning fire through my mind.
