Chapter 18- Jared

She was right there, just across from me. Steffen was a coward, dragging her around like a shield. I could have killed him, his smug face was in my scope. But his gun was pointed to her beautiful face, while multiple bruises and wounds stood out on her pale skin. My stomach was sick from seeing her hurt so badly, while I paced the woods in a restless rage. We had to pull back at his demand, or else Luna’s life was on the line.

“He wants us to give him our territory and Jared in exchange for Luna. Now that we’ve told him to go fuck himself, he’s going to go after those we hold closest.” Markus huffs, sounding more annoyed than worried.

“Isabelle is fine. I’m taking her and Amelia to her father’s house. They’ll both be safe.” Alec reassures Markus through the phone, his voice low as if he’s whispering. Relief rushes through me, but it doesn’t last.

The sound of glass breaking makes me whip my head up to see Luna staring through the broken window. Her body leans through the empty frame and her hair whips in the wind as she tries to escape.

I lunge forward with only the thought of her plummeting to the ground racing in my mind. Markus grabs the collar of my vest and stops my movement, pulling me back. Before I can shove him off, a hand reaches through the open window and yanks my girl back inside. A cry of rage rips from my lungs and I thrash against the men holding me in place.

I’m blind with anger at this point, consumed with the need to save her. Luna was strong, but I could see the look in her eyes. She was close, so close to giving up. But I couldn’t let her do that. I won’t live in a world without Luna.

“Jared, you need to stop.” Alec’s voice is distant, as a phone is shoved into my hand and I stare down at it. Alec is driving but still glances at the screen with worry for me. My attention falls to him as I stop struggling and catch my breath.

“You didn’t see her. He’s hurting her.” My voice doesn’t sound like my own, nearly robotic as I fight the pain swelling my chest. Markus flinches next to me, rubbing a hand over his eyes.

“I remember how it felt when we finally found Isabelle, beaten within an inch of her life. I can still feel that rage, the fear, but if you let it consume you, then you’re no good to her.” Alec reminds me, lifting some of the fog.

“Did you see what she was wearing?” I ask Markus. His lip curls in disgust, nodding. Of course, everyone saw what she had on with the way Steffen was throwing her around.

“The only thing they had that poor girl in was a strip of lace, her own blood, and her coat.” Markus says, holding something out to me. It was Luna’s sneaker, the one she had lost fighting against Steffen.
