Mine – The Alpha's Possession by Kylie

CHAPTER 41
Standing in the woods face to face with
Eric’s warrior, I was starting to look around to see an escape route. I didn’t know what to do and I could tell that Stefan was
having a little freak out in his mind.
“I didn’t realize that it was illegal to go for a walk around here.” I say.
“Is that what you’re doing? You’re getting too far from the castle Princess. We’ve been told that you’re not allowed near the
Mystic Forest anymore.” He says.
“Since when? No one told me about that rule.
“I say.
“Well, the King and his right-hand man told me of that rule this morning. I’m sorry that they didn’t inform you, but I need to be
taking you back to the castle.” He says.
“Like hell. I’ll go where I want and when I want. You can’t tell me what the hell to do.
And neither can they.” I demanded. But Stefan grabbed my arm and tried to pull me back a little as the warrior was approaching
‘Actually, they can tell you what to do. The King can tell everyone what to do and you are fully aware of that.” He says. And I
looked at Stefan. He just shook his head at
“I’m not going back with this dick.” I say.
“You don’t have a choice sweetheart.” The warrior demanded while grabbing my arm.
“Let her go.” Stefan yelled trying to get between us. But I pushed Stefan away and he hit his back against a tree and then I spun
around and got out of that man’s grip and I dropped to the ground and kicked his legs out from underneath him.
I then jumped to my feet and the warrior got up as well and he charged at me but I punched him across the face and grabbed his
hair and pulled his head down and kneed him in the face. He fell back against the ground with blood pouring out of his nose and
mouth and I stomped on his head rendering him unconscious after that.

So I grabbed Stefan by the hand and we ran toward the outcast village. We didn’t stop until we got there and Layla ran up to us
and saw what I looked like.
“What the hell happened?” She asked.
“We were followed by one of my father’s warriors. Taylor dropped him.” Stefan said while trying to catch his breath.
“Holy crap. Are you alright?” She asked.
“Werewolves are stronger than what you think.” I say.
“I’ll definitely vouch for that. That guy was twice her size.” Stefan says.
“Werewolves do have advanced strength. Is your father on to you?” Layla asked.
“No. He threatened me this morning and I threatened him back. I think he just had that warrior following me to try and scare me.”
I explain.
“But they don’t know that you came here?” A guy asked.
“No. I made sure that there was no one else following us and we went the long way to get here. An extra precaution.” I
explained.
“Thank you. For making sure that we weren’t found.” Layla says.
“Don’t mention it. I know that they’ll kill you all if they find you.” I say.
“Yeah. Eric will. Vincent will probably just make sure that we are banished for good.” She says.
“I think it’s time to start training.” Stefan says. But what Layla said, really got me thinking. Eric would kill them, but Vincent would
banish them. Is Eric still working against Vincent? Does Vincent just have his trust in the wrong person? Maybe Vincent. isn’t as
bad as I thought and he’s just taking his lead from Eric.
How the hell could a King follow someone like Eric and not know what the hell he is up to? How could Vincent be so blind. I
needed evidence against Eric to show to Vincent. Maybe then Eric can be punished for what he was doing. For going behind the
King’s back like that.

“Taylor. Come on. If Eric is on to you then we have a really big day ahead of us. We need to make sure that you tap into your
powers.” Layla says. So we went to the clearing behind that little village and we started working on my powers again.
They wanted me to harness energy and release it from my hands towards a target that was on the tree line. And I would stand
there with my hands up, I would concentrate as hard as possible, I would try and clear my mind. I tried to imagine the energy
flowing through my body and developing in my hands and then try to shoot it at the target. But nothing was happening.
I was getting more and more frustrated as the day went on because nothing was happening. Stefan thought that it might have
been because we were really desperate for me to find my powers today that it was too much pressure and that’s why it wasn’t
happening.
At lunch time the outcasts had made lunch for everyone and we sat down to eat with them and Layla was sitting next to me.
Knowing full well that I was not happy with myself and I was concerned about what was going to happen when I got back to the
castle.
I was honestly thinking about not going back. Staying with the outcasts. But I knew that they would send out search parties for
me, and the outcasts village would be discovered if that happened. So, I knew that I had to go back. I wasn’t going to put them in
danger like that. Not after everything they have been doing for me.
After lunch I went for a bit of a walk around the village and I found myself at the waterfall. The village was really close to it. I
thought it was odd at first but then it made sense. No one would think to look for the village so close to the portal between
worlds. It actually made a lot of sense. And standing right here made me feel a little closer to Jackson. I don’t know why. It just
did.
I then felt something nudge my back so I turned around and a pure white unicorn was standing there so I started patting it’s head
and I could tell that it was a really affectionate creature. It was almost like it could tell that I was upset and slightly depressed. I
don’t know why. But it could tell. I know that it could.
We went back to the village and I headed to the clearing again and Layla and Stefan were waiting for me.
“Are you alright?” Stefan asked.
“Yeah. I just needed a couple of minutes alone. Sorry for making you wait.” I say.
“Take all the time you need. I see you had company on your little walk.” She says nodding to the unicorn.

“Can these guys sense emotions?” I asked.
“I believe that they can. Why?” She asked.
“Because he showed up right when I needed him too. I was just wondering.” I say patting him on the head again and he rested
his head against mine.
“Yeah. They can sense emotions. And they can sense who is good and who is evil. Which works in our favour. And he really likes
you.
Layla says.
“Good. Because I really like him too.” I say.
“Alright. Let’s get started again.” Layla says pointing back at the target and I rolled my eyes and walked over to them. I was
getting sick of this. I was over it. I was beginning to think that it was never going to happen.
“Why don’t you show me how to shoot energy from your hands and it might help me be able to do it.” I suggested to Layla.
“That’s cheating. You need to be able to do it on your own.” She says.
We were there for another two hours working on trying to get me to do what they wanted and nothing was happening. I could see
Stefan and Layla exchange glances but that was the most that they would say to each other. And I felt like I was failing
miserably. Which was just making me more frustrated.
Suddenly, we heard screaming coming from the village. The three of us ran to the village and saw warriors tearing the place
apart. Somehow they had found us. I don’t know how. We were so careful before we got there. And when the head warrior saw
me standing there he started approaching me immediately. But out of the corner of my eye
I heard a child screaming.
I looked to the side of me and a child was being ripped away from it’s mother and that’s what made me angry. I wasn’t scared
anymore. I was angry. I screamed at the warrior to let the kid go but he just ignored me. I let out a growl that got the attention of
a lot of people but he still wouldn’t let the child go. So I started running towards him and I could feel my canines start to extend
from my gums and I was about to shift when I raised my hand and warned that warrior to let the child go.

He looked at me and then at his superior with a scared look on his face and before we knew it, he was blasted across the village
without anyone even touching him.
I stopped dead in my tracks and I knew that it was me that did it. I looked at my hand and there was still some buzzing and
zapping between my fingers that I couldn’t explain and I didn’t even know how I attacked that warrior. But the child ran back to
his mother and I stood there in shock.
That is, until I felt a sharp pain in my back and suddenly my eyes went blurry and so did my limbs and I fell to the ground. I heard
Stefan and Layla screaming my name before
I lost consciousness.
