Destined To Be Greatness novel Chapter 9

"I'm looking for Jessica. She needs to learn her place." I snarled. Mrs Brown let out a wail before she continued to sob into her mates' chest. Mr Brown whispered soothing words into her ear and rubbed small circles on her back. Slowly her sobs grew quieter and he shoulders began to relax. "What's going on David?"

He took a shaky breath, "It's Jessica. She's gone." My heart stopped as those words left his mouth. What did he men she was gone? Even if I had rejected her, I still had a pull towards her because of our bond and I didn't want her to get hurt.

"What do you mean she's gone?" I whispered.

"She never returned from school and we can't pick up her scent anywhere."

"I was such a terrible mother!" Lizzie shouted.

"And I was a terrible father," David whispered, "we are all to blame. We turned our backs on her and left her to struggle through life on her own. It's all of our faults." Tears flowed down his face as he buried his face into his mates' hair.

"What are we going to do?" I asked clenching my hands into fists.

"There's nothing we can do," David sighed in defeat, "all we can do is hope that she will return to us." He stood up with his mate in his arms and carried her up the stairs, leaving me alone in the living room with my thoughts.

I had already decided that I was not going to sit around and do nothing. I was going to find Jessica and bring her home. Not for me but for her parents.

~ A few months later ~ (Present)

We have been searching for Jessica for months now and we are nowhere near close to finding her. It's like she just fell off the face of the earth. I've sent out search parties after search parties and I have even contacted local packs to see if they had seen Jessica. But it was always that same result. She was nowhere to be found.

Her parents are still grieving for their little girl to come home and I was on my last leg before I was about to give up. Her disappearance has affected all of us. Adam was devastated when he found out the news, as he used to be her best friend and the closest thing she had to a brother. When I told him he fell to the ground crying. The majority of the pack were upset that she had gone. Before we all started to ignore and bully her, she would always brighten up everyone's day. Her sense of humour and her smile brought smiles to everyone's faces and her kind heart. She treated everyone as equals but yet here we are doing the exact opposite and stabbing her in the back. However, there are some people in the pack that are glad that she is gone, although it's mainly the girls around my age.

"Jay!" Penny screamed at the top of her lungs.

I continued to laugh as I ran away from the green headed beast. Her face was priceless when she looked in the mirror, if only I had a camera on me, that picture would've made a great Christmas card.

I woke up this morning thinking about what sort of pranks I would pull off today and who to play them on. I remembered the last prank I pulled. My victim happened to be one of my partners in crime, Josh. I had snuck into his bedroom in the early hours of the morning with a permanent marker at hand. The door creaked as I pushed it open. The light from the hallway slithered into his room, lighting up his face. I had to hold in an 'aww', he looked so peaceful when he was asleep. His innocent face almost made me want to back out of the prank, the key word being 'almost'. I made my way over to his bed and sat down on his bed. I took the lid off of the marker and began my master piece.

My art work was finished a few minutes later. I stood up and surveyed Josh's now scribbled on face. On his forehead I had written 'Jay's bitch' and on both of his cheeks there were two very large love hearts with Jake's and James's names in the middle of them. I took out my phone and snapped a few pictures before I quickly left, closing the door behind me.
