I couldn't sleep well after what Jacob said about his age. I made sure that he kept his body away from mine. I thought about just slipping out of the room and running home, but, I have no idea where I am and Jacob would find me. God knows what he'd do to me if I ran away. So I lay until I see the sun start to shine in through the window. I begin to feel Jacob stir. I turn over on my side quickly and began to act like I was sleeping. I feel the bed release the weight of him and I hear the sound of his heavy feet against the hardwood, I could feel his eyes on me. I make sure to take deep breaths to make sure he couldn't hear the pounding of my heart. I hear a door close and water starts to run. I lay quietly till I hear the sound of the water being shut off. After a few moments, Jacob walked out of the bathroom. I heard another door shut. He must have gone into the closet. I wonder what he was going to wear I found myself wondering. My wolf purred at the thought of our mate getting dressed.

"You know I know you weren't sleeping. How cute of you little one to think so small of me." A dark low chuckle left his chest. I sit up in the bed deciding that I've lost this battle. Looking at him, my mind wondered to what he said to me. 

"You're so old." I pulled the blanket more around me as I watched him pace around the room. He stopped. He walked to the big floor to ceiling window and drawn back the curtain. "Do you have a problem with that?" He never turned around, his eyes looking at me in the reflection in the window. The more I thought about, "Yes, especially with who you ar-"

"With who I am?" He had turned around but never walked any closer.

"Yes." I had found confidence within' myself all of the sudden. He had tilled his head. "I know who you are, everyone knows, everyone fears. You're my mothers biggest fear and how am I supposed to bring my mothers biggest fear home as my mate. Let alone a thousand-year-old mate." I pulled the blanket off me and headed for the door as soon as my hand played on the door knob. Jacob had placed his hand on the door, making me unable to open it. He had placed his hand on the other side of the wall trapping me. 

"First, I'm one thousand and twenty-three years old and second I would love to meet your mother." His breath hot on my neck.  I let my head down. "Jacob. That will never happen, once I get back to my family, they will never let me back, back to a beast, back to you. The whole town fears you. That's all I've ever known of you, a monster that was told as a bedtime story to get children to behave and here I am. Sleeping in the bed of that monster. What do you think they will think of me after they find out, where I've been?, what I've been doing? No one will treat me the same. They will see me a monster just as you are."

"No one will take you away from me. You don't even know how to fathom what I feel for you, how I've had to hold myself back from what I could've done to you." He had taken a step closer and moved his hand to lay on my stomach.

"What you've could've done to me?" I quoted him. 

"Like I said. You can't even wrap your head around it."  At this point, I had turned around to look him in the eye. I place my hands on his chest to push him away from me. He had closed his eyes and taken a deep breath when he had opened his eyes they were black. My eyes widened.

"Don't touch me like that and expect me not to feel more than just your hands on me." I pulled my hands away. "I'm leaving." Jacob had taken a step back giving me the chance to open the door. 

"If your going to be leaving, here, dress warm. I'd hate for you to lose your warmth." Jacob had a smirk on his face handing me a pile of warm clothes and walking out the door. I waited for him to close the door before I started to change into the clothes. They oddly fit perfectly and they were exactly something of my taste. I roll my eyes to what Jacob has been done, he wasn't kidding when he said he knew who I was. I found heavy snow boots outside the door and with no amazement they were just my size. I pull them and began my quest to find the main door. Not as easy as one would think. After many trial and errors, I had found my way to the giant door and began my quest. 

I walked for what had seemed for hours. Hearing the crunch of the snow under my boots started to wear on me. I stopped in my tracks and looked around. Nothing. Everything was covered in snow, the sky had a grey mist to it. I didn't know what to do, if I turned back, Jacob would have been right and if I find my way home I'm free. I decided to keep walking in God knows what direction. Stepping around trees, rolling my eyes at the same sound of the snow crunching under my weight. I began looking at my feet as I walked, my mind drifted off on the feeling of how cold it really was outside. My head snapped up to the sound of a twig breaking. I see a man heavy clothed and hooded, he looked frozen in fear just as I. The man removed his hood. 

"Why hello." His smile was dripped in venom. "What is your name pretty." I stood saying nothing; I was too scared. "Ah, so that's how we're gonna play this. I can smell a man on you. Is he your mate? I've never smelt a sent like that before. I bet he doesn't like the fact that you're out here alone." With each word, he said I found my body tensing even more by the second. 

"Quite the guesser, In fact, no. He doesn't like her wandering alone in the wood. But do you know what he doesn't like even more? Other men who wander in the wood." Jacob seemed to appear out of thin air and walking past me towards the man. "And who are you?" The man started to meet Jacob half way and pulled a knife out of his coat pocket. Jacob laughed as he dropped one knife from each sleeve and sliced the mans throat. The blood screamed in color against the pure white. He dropped to the ground. I had no words, I was terrified, but what terrified me more was that it didn't bother me. It didn't bother me that Jacob just killed a man in front of me. I watched as he wiped the blood off his knives on his pant leg. He turned around to look at me, his eyes taking that black form again. I took a step back. He placed the knives in the side of his boot and stood up straight looking at me again.

"You're coming with me." His voice dark and demanding. I took a step back. "Jacob no I-I want to get home. You told me I was free to go Jacob." I put my hands in front of me as I spoke. 

"Fuck Elizabeth." His eyes became all back again. I could smell it. He was aroused. I began to take a couple steps back. "Jacob please." My voice shaking under the emotion I was feeling. Jacob's scent was filling my nose by the thousand, everything I smelled was Jacob and his sent burned like fire in my lungs. "Fuck Elizabeth, say my name one more time and see what happens." I took a deep breath and stopped talking. I guess Jacob took this as a sign of surrender because within seconds a rush of horses pulling a carriage stopped feet away. Jacob came and grabbed my arm dragging me up into the seat. He shut the door and sat as far as he could away from me. The only sound could be heard was the rushing sound of hooves stomping against the snow. I began to open my mouth.

"Don't. Fuck. Just stop. It's becoming too much to handle." Jacob pulled on his pants a little and looked out the window. His breathing was heavy, he was breathing me in. I kept my gaze out the window, as did he. I didn't dare look at him. Once the castle came into view I was relieved that I could finally get out of this closed space with him. As the horses came to a stop Jacob dragged me out of the cart. He walked fast into the castle. Jacobs voice boomed and echoed in the long hallway. "Ryan, feed Elizabeth. I will be in my office." Jacob walked out of sight but not without placing his dark eyes on me once more.

"Hello Elizabeth, what would you like to eat?" I turned around to see a man, assuming he was Ryan. He was built much like Jacob but he was shorter. "Um, I don't know." I put down my head. I felt kinda stupid not knowing such a simple question. Ryan began to walk and I followed in his footsteps. "Well you must be hungry for something?" Ryan turned back to look at me as he walked. "Yeah, something." My mind began to drifted off to Jacob, the way he pulled on his pants and the smell of him was all I could think about. "How about I just make you something and just hope that you like it?" Ryan's voice broke me out of my thoughts. "That sounds nice." I let a small smile slip onto my face. "Oh, you better watch out, if Jacob finds out you smiled at another man and not him just might combust." He pointed at my face as I let out a small laugh. He sat me down at the same seat Jacob did when he wrapped my wrists. "I'll be back." Ryan's heavy footsteps could be heard past the door. 

As more time past I began to feel more uncomfortable with myself. I shrugged off my coat and that seemed to help. Ryan walked in a few minutes later with two plates in hand. He placed the plates down and walked back, a second later we reemerged with glasses of water in his hands. I took the glass from him and sat it down. I look down at my plate to see a plate full of salmon, grilled asparagus, with some bread and butter. "Thank you." We both ate in silence, I picked up my glass and found myself drinking the whole thing within seconds. Ryan cleared his throat and a man walked in with another glass then disappeared again. I chugged it again within seconds. 

"Are you okay Elizabeth?" The look of concern grew on his face. "Yes, I'm just-just ho-" My statement was cut off by Jacob's presence filling the doorway. He walked at a deadly pace until he got to me and threw me over his shoulder. He let out a deep growl, my heartbeat got quicker and I knew Jacob felt it. "Ryan please..." I could finish my sentence before I was too far away from him. Jacob rushed down many hallways till my eyes were placed on the door I recognized; his bedroom. "Jacob stop, what are you doing." My body began to burn as I struggled to get out of his grip.  'Go on keep wiggling, you're only fueling the fire." Jacobs tone was dark. Suddenly I was thrown off his shoulder and landed on the bed.  

"I've kept myself hidden from you for your whole life and I always wondered if I could handle myself around you when you started you're heating. To my finding, no I can't handle it anymore. Everything I see is you, everything I breath is clothed in your sent. So intoxicating." Jacob grabbed for my top. "J-Jacob please please don't. I don't want to." My voice shaky my hands started to grab his to pull him off me. I was at war with myself. My wolf wanted nothing more than Jacob to do whatever he wanted he pleased to me but myself wanted nothing to do with him. "God I love the sound of my name on your lips, and you keep finding yourself saying. Do you even have the slightest idea of what that does to me." Jacobs' eyes had turned black again. In a swift second Jacob had torn my top in half and threw it across the room. I started to scream for help hoping that some servant or even Ryan would hear me. Jacob climbed up onto my hips to stop me from going anywhere. He began to pull on my belt ultimately undoing it. "Ryan, please help," I scream out. Jacob pushed my hands above my head. "You're mine Elizabeth, my name will be the only name that will every leave your mouth. Don't be a little slut, calling for other men when your mate is right here." His tone was devilish; I began to scream even louder. "No, get off me!" I screamed even louder. He let go of my hands for a second to pull off his shirt and undo his belt, he stopped to pull off my jeans. I could hear them drop to the ground. I see him standing there in only his boxers now. I pull myself up and as soon as I did Jacob grabbed me and pushed me more on the bed and all of the sudden I was pushed up against the oak headboard. My head hitting it with a loud bang. The last thing I saw was the black eyes of Jacob.
