Page 84 of Knot So Broken

I want this life that has been handed to me. I want it more than I want my next breath through the hessian bag over my head.

“KENNEDY!”

The desperation I hear in Theo’s breaks me as the body behind me continues to pull me away from him. I try to scream through the hand over my mouth but it only comes out as a mumbled mess.

I feel hysteria come down through the bond from all three of my Alphas. I can feel their terror, their anger towards the intruders. I can’t imagine the kind of emotions that each of my men are receiving through the bond for me. I try to trample them down but it is near impossible.

I can tell the moment my captor gets me back through the front door. I don't stop my struggle as I try to hook my leg around the door frame.

The person behind me jerks as I am successful for a moment but a strong yank sees him easily breaking my grip. I scream behind the hand covering my mouth as pain radiates down my legs.

Gravel crunches beneath their feet as I try to use the loose material as some kind of grip but yet again, it's useless.

I choke on a sob as I feel the captor win.

No matter how much I want to be able to fight, I can’t. Not this time. Not when I am up against an enemy that is provinging to be much stronger than I am.

I know I tried. I really did. But, it wasn’t enough.

The hands gripping me squeeze me tighter just as I hear car doors open. My stomach sinks further as I am thrown into the back of a vehicle.

I try to get up but pause as I hear an echoed gunshots coming from the direction of the manor. Two more shots follow along with a pained roar.

I would know that voice anywhere.

The sound of Jax’s pained cry tears through my soul as I am knocked back as the doors to the van slam close. It feels like I can’t breathe as panic for my Alpha overcomes me.

An unbearable amount of pain shunts into me as another body grabs me from behind.

“Night night, Omega.”

The voice instantly makes me feel sick as the sharp prink of a needle is jabbed into the side of my neck. It is only moments before I feel the effects.

The bond between my Alphas is the first thing I feel go moments after both the sound of the gun firing and the drug being injected. Ifeel each strand snap in my chest, returning me to the broken shell I was before them.

My scream is gurgled as I curl in on myself in an attempt to protect myself from the excruciating pain of not having my bonds in my chest anymore.

Slowly, my world starts to spin before my body goes numb. Each sense is ripped away from me until the depths of oblivion steal me away from a life I had just found.

Chapter Twenty Nine

My return to reality is slow. My head pounds as memories evade me as I try to work out how I got to where I am and how I got here. A dull ache radiates through my body and I can’t help but groan at the stiffness in my limbs as I try to stretch.

I wiggle my body but pause as I feel the surface beneath me. The soft cushioning of the bed beneath me envelopes my body, bringing the feeling of safety to me that my nest has these past few days.

I nestle into the soft sheets, but become restless as the plain scent of laundry detergent fills my nostrils instead of the scents belonging to my pack and I.

Freezing, I blink my crusted eyes open as I take in the room around me. I choke on a gasp as the interior of one of my father’s many spare bedrooms bares down on me like a bad omen. One that sends shivers over my flesh.

I shoot up from the bed, now disgusted with the small amount of comfort I had found in the sheets.

Glancing around the room, I find it completely bare - apart from the bed I am lying on. I’m alone, I finally realize the gaping hole inmy chest. Clutching at my heart, tears fall from my eyes without my consent.

I have never felt so empty. So broken.

They are gone. My Alphas are gone. Torn from me just as quickly as I got them.

My memories finally decide that it's the right time to filter back into me, as the sound of the three gunshots rang out from the Manor just as I succumbed to the darkness of the drug injected into my veins.
