The Blind Second Chance

Chapter Eighteen

Jarl to the side

"Its 2:30 he should be here by now"  Jace growled. I nodded in response and right on cue a voice.

"I keep to my word. You should know that by now son" I felt the air get tense as I felt more wolves present. They stood in a circle in the trees.

"You brought an army to face a blind woman and a beaten warrior?"  My so called father chuckled a bit in harmony to the other rouges around.

"Emmy. I haven't come to attack you two. Why would I hurt my kin"

"You did it all those years ago. Why stop now?" I spat. I sensed him right in front of me. He chuckled more and then I felt a hand on my cheek, stroking it. I heard Jace growling.

"Son I thought you were on my side. We are family"

"You stopped being family the day Emerald went blind" Jace sneered. I heard Jarl growl in annoyance and sighed taking a hand off my cheek.

"Anyways the deal yes?" He stated.

"Where is my mother?" I heard him walking and then he mumbled something. A new scent. Then a muffled scream. Mom. I clenched my teeth. "Let her go!" I screamed.

"A deal. Have you not understood the letter I sent you dear Emmy?" Another muffled scream from her, my fist clenching.

"I'll do anything just let her go" I then heard Jace scream and then a body hit the ground. "Stop it!" His breathes slowed.

"He's unconscious. Like I said only you are supposed to hear this no one else" I heard them dragging him away and I bit my inner cheek.

"What is your deal Jarl?" My head jerked to the side as his hand came into contact with it, smacking me in the mouth. My hand went up to it as I felt the blood fill my mouth. 

"I am your Father! You call me your father!" He screamed. I bit my lip nodding. "Try it again"

"What is your deal f-father?" I stuttered on my words and I can almost see him smirking like he does every time he did something 'right'.

"Oh my only daughter your mother and I have been talking. Well actually I've only been talking most of the time, that's beside the point through"  he seems to be walking around me, circling me. "Come with me. And your mother can leave, a soul for a soul. A life for a life. A prisoner for a prisoner" I shuddered at his words and then I heard a ding.

"Times up. I'll give you two days time my love" with that his scent disappeared as of the others, including my mothers. I held my hands out searching for anything and nothing. Wait. Where's Jace?

"Jace?!" My voice seemed to come out weak as I wiped away a free tear. "Jace!" He's gone Kya whispered.

"At least he won't be starved or beaten"

I wouldn't be to sure about that. Your mother is in custody.

I gulped and then started to walk back. Do you even know where your going?

No I don't. Helping would be nice though.

Hey you and me are blind. Jace led us.

I sighed at her response and tried to follow our scents.

I felt like I've been walking for hours, when it's been mere minutes. Eventually I did find my way back to the main pack area.

I cheered a bit in my mind and started to walk towards where I think the pack house is. Not that I could see it coming but I bumped into someone. I stepped back hearing them growl.

"Who are you, what are you doing on pack territory?" The voice was rough and deep. I yelped and he gripped my arm.

"Guards!" He yelled and I heard some movements. Two hands had gripped my shoulders and I felt the person behind me.

"Alpha Moon. What is the problem here?" Alpha? Wait Moon. Uh oh.

"This rouge had trespassed onto these lands. Lock her up!"

"Sir this is just a misunderstanding she-"

"There is no misunderstanding! She is a rouge and policy is to kill her or to lock her up and starve her!" I whimpered at his tone and then another voice.

"Father?" I immediately froze as the guard that held me in place left and I felt his presence behind me.

"Ryder this rouge has trespassed onto your territory. How can you allow this? Guards and trackers should be along the border making sure no one gets in!" He yelled back, his tone aggressive and his grip on me tightened, making me wince.

Then the grip loosen and then fell off of me. My hand went to the spot rubbing it. "She is with me. She is mine, sorry, my prisoner and I choose what I want to do with them"

"She could escape at anytime Ryder. You are a fool"

"No for she is blind so I let her wonder since she has no sense of where she is going" I felt Ryder's hand wrap around my waist and pull me into him making my breathe catch itself.

His father hummed a bit and I felt his cold gaze on me. Not that I can see his gaze. It's like a new 5th sense I grew instead of my sense of sight. The sense of seeing things without seeing them. It's weird.

"Fine. Do what you must but I say you starve her" and with that he walked away. I let out a sigh of relief and then Ryder came close to my ear.

"Now Kitten. Where were you at the hours of 2 and 3" I gulped feeling his hand tightened on my waist.
