Alana novel Chapter 41

Alana's POV

Never give up.

Don't stop fighting.

Don't say I can't.

Don't.

I watched as Aiden angrily grabs James color and I bite my lip, thinking that maybe I went too far with this prank...

I step out timidly and Jackson's eyes land on me.

"Alana?" He calls out suddenly and Aiden's head snaps to me.

"What in the world?" He murmurs walking up to me quickly.

"Ta-da!" I do jazz hands and he purses his lips.

"This was a joke?" He asks and I avert my eyes. "I hate to break it to you Alana, but right now? This moment? Isn't a joke, and you might as well have just blown our cover."

"You were just so...grumpy back then-"

"How the hell is this supposed to calm me down!" He screams and I flinch.

"Aiden...man..." James touches his shoulders and he shakes his hands off.

"Let's get back into position. And Alana do as you're told."

"I'm not a child," I tell him defensively and he rolls his eyes.

"Well stop acting like one."

"Y'know what?" I angrily stomp back towards the house.

Who does he think he is, yelling at me like that?

Gosh, why didn't I answer? I feel so embarrassed.

I enter the house, slamming the door and he soon comes in.

"What do you think you're doing?" He asks lowly and I narrow my eyes at him.

"I am doing whatever I want."

"Alana, stop being stubborn. You're playing with lives here." He says.

"Oh so now you want to talk civilly?" I snap and he sighs, rubbing his hand all over his face.

"Babe, I'm sorry for yelling at you back then alright? Now can we please get back out there?"

"No." I place my hands on my hips.

"No?" He repeats.

"Exactly what I said. No."

"Alana, you're playing with lives here-"

"Then tell them to come in, I don't care."

"Why are you being so stubborn right now?" I could tell he was trying to control his voice and I roll my eyes.

"Listen. He wants me, not you, why not just give him what he wants?"

"What are you even talking about? I already apologized for yelling at you." He says lifting both arms. "Look, we don't have time for-"

"They're here!" One of the three yells and Aiden glares at me before running outside.

Great.

I was about to go outside when a click is heard.

Distracted, I barely noticed when the three boys were suddenly missing. I'm grabbed from behind and I elbow the person in their ribs, but I soon stop as something cold reaches my temple.

"I have to admit. You fight well." Leo? I thought-

"I'm sorry, did Alana not tell you I was a werewolf? I heal faster than you puny humans."

(A/N: NOT TO BE CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE FOR I AM A PUNY HUMAN ALSO.)

"Now. Where. Is. Alana?" He grits out and I look around to find the three brothers, held also. It was surprising to find them, so huge, held back by even bigger guys.

And that was saying something.

"Why don't you go pick the lice out of your hair mutt." I spit and he grins.

"That's cute." He reels back his hand, before bringing it down on my face. I barely had time to register it as he grabbed my gun.

He kicks me in the stomach and I drop to my knees groaning in pain.

"I'm going to ask you one more time." My hands were held behind my back as he placed his gun in the middle of my forehead. "Where is Alana? I peer up at him, and spit, giving him his answer.

"Alright well-"

"Wait! Here! Here I am!" Alana yells climbing out of the windows where bullets once ran through.

"Alana! What the heck are you doing! Get back in that cabin!" I wiggled as she slowly walked towards him and she avoids eye contact with me.

"There we go." Leo smiles evilly as he pulls her to him. "Simple. Now you don't get to die." He says to me and I grit my teeth.

"Alana." I hiss and she peers up and me, tears glistening in her eyes. "Why aren't you fighting back? What are you doing?!"

"I- I can't risk you getting hurt Aiden."

"Well, we must be off now. Try anything and I'll blow her brains out." He says eyeing James who was practically growling at them.

"Alana." I murmur once last time.
