James - The Deep End
If you told James a few months ago he was going to help Jordan kidnap someone he wouldn't have believed you, he would have cried or yelled saying 'No, we would never', but here he was with Luna and Jordan stalking Lukas at school. As they walked towards the school doors, James kept looking at Jordan hoping may realize that this wasn't the best option, but all he could see on Jordan's face was pure anger and numbness. He wished that this wasn't going to head towards the possibility that Jordan wasn't Jordan anymore.
"Are we really doing this?" Luna asked as they entered the school.
"Yes, if you don't want to help, your more than welcome to leave." Jordan looked at both of them when he replied. The loss of humanity in his eyes, made James fear for the worse, but also grieve the fact that after this Jordan will never be the same.
The closer they got to where the assumption of Lukas' location, the more everything seemed to fall away from James' mind. Jordan, or at least who he hoped was Jordan, became a mess of anger the minute his eyes landed on Lukas. The growl that came from him was not human, and made everyone around them freeze. Lukas' eyes met his and that was it, Jordan flung himself forwards and went after the beta. James tried to grab the alpha's arms, but he was to slow.
Jordan raised his hand and grabbed a hold of Lukas' shirt, pulling him towards the door leading to the back of the school. James kept his head down, realizing the headmaster and a few of their old friends were watching as Jordan with glowing eyes, dragged Lukas out of the school. He was surprised no one tried stopping them, and was saddened by the fact that Luna seemed laid back with this going on.
"Jordan, please you got to stop." Lukas cried.
"Stop? Like how you stopped when you took TJ?" Jordan asked, anger and hatred in a voice James only ever heard softness.
"It wasn't my fault, I had no choice!"
James knew Jordan wasn't listening, no matter how much he put into a sentence the Alpha wasn't going to listen to Lukas' words.
"Jordan, please?" James tried to get through to the young alpha, but with no such luck, he watched as Jordan took a swipe with a clawed hand and tore open the skin on Lukas' chest.
"Jordan! Please! I-I didn't mean to! I was only following my alpha's orders!" Another swipe, this time with more hatred than James had ever seen come out of Jordan's actions.
"Please! I'm sorry! I'll help you get them back!" Lukas was trying every stop possible to get through to the young alpha, but there seemed to be no hope.
James wished he could get through to Jordan, hell he wished Luna would do something to help, but to no avail he watched as with each swipe more and more blood fell on the concrete below.
"I know your questioning why I am not helping." Luna took a breath, "James how am I, the person who cut off his way to track TJ, supposed to help in this situation. Jordan is a wolf, a creature of vengeance and one is protective of all he loves. The only thing that is going to stop him would be knowing where TJ is, and if their alive."
James hated the fact Luna was right, there was no stopping Jordan, not even with the hope that TJ may be alive. Only pure fact would satisfy the wolf now.
"I can help you! Jor-!" Lukas was cut off by Jordan sticking a purple syringe in his neck.
"If you had that, why attack him?" James asked, he couldn't believe after all of that Jordan had wolfsbane.
"How is Luka supposed to know that I have his beta? Make it look like I took him by force, and we are in front of multiple security cameras. Both for the school and city, all it takes now is them reporting it to the Alpha the wolf belongs to and Luka will come wishing he never took TJ from me." Jordan explained.
James knew Jordan was smart, he knew that no matter how much Jordan played stupid he was amazing analysis and planning, but this. This was a whole new level that what James could of thought of. If this a game of chess, one move and James knew Jordan would have Luka at checkmate.
"So, we take Luka back to house? Or do you have something to tell us?" Luna pushed.
"We will bring Luka to the house yes, but he will be kept in the living room at all times, where one of us three can watch his every move."
James was so close to calling it quits, and just leaving, but he knew that at his moment that would send Jordan down a spiral that even James couldn't come back from.
"Want to fill us in on the plan to get him back to the house, or are we just your lackeys?" James asked, he could no longer deal with the shock and pain Jordan brought and distanced his emotions from every task at hand.
"We will call a ride. Simple as that, my father wouldn't mind right?"
James couldn't recognize this person anymore, this wasn't Jordan, the same man who made him fall so quickly. He didn't know how to look Jordan in the eyes, without tears forming or grief taking away the rest of his mind. The beginning of the day, Jame questioned how to help Jordan with the loss, but now James has to figure out how to come to terms with the fact the man he loves... Is gone.
