Protecter's Love by Kayla Trautman (books to read in your 20s female TXT) 📕

saw plenty of people making out in there. I looked around and gasped when I saw Taliesin making out with Sandra Blake.

Taliesin looked up and saw me. He pulled back and let go of her. Sandra turned and saw me but her face turned to blush and she turned back around. "Hey. Sorry I didn't get you your drink; I was busy."

"I can see that. Don't let me interrupt you." I snapped and stormed out the back door. He followed me outside, "Elena. What's wrong?" I turned around to look up at him, "How could you? You're supposed to be my date and be with me. But instead you're sucking faces with that bitch in there. Absolutely nothing's wrong."

"She kissed me and I had no choice not to kiss her back." He said. I raised my eyebrows, "Oh yeah? What did she do? Cast some enchanted spell over you? Are you really gonna try to use your magic to get you past this? I don't think so." I exclaimed.

All this hurt was inside me and my anger was strenghening more every second. Why? I have no idea but all I knew was that I was hurt. "I'm sorry. That's not what I was going to say, either. I didn't want to hurt her. I'm stronger than her. I would hurt her."

I laughed shakily and backed up away from him, "Just go back in and continue what you were doing. I'm going for a walk. Don't follow me." I turned as soon as he stopped coming towards me.

I stomped off towards the forest and didn't stop. At least not until I was out of sight. Then I stopped and placed a hand up against the tree, then I took my stilettos off. I threw them to the ground and dropped to my knees crying.

Why was I crying? Why was I hurting so much? This was just an affair. I always known that it would end some day and he'd be in another woman's arms. But so soon?


And while he was with me? I did not want this to end so soon. I did not want this to end right now. I needed more blistful and fulfilling nights with Taliesin.


Chapter 13: Assault

"Are you alright, maim?" I heard a man say behind me. I stopped crying and wiped my tears as I stood. I turned around and saw a man. He was handsome. Long blonde hair. Dressed in casual jeans and a black loose t-shirt. He didn't come from the party. What was he doing so close to the party and in the woods now if he wasn't invited to the party? This is private property.

His blue eyes searched me over and a smile curved his thin lips. I took a step backwards and tripped over my shoes, falling on my back on the ground. "Ow!"


The man rushed over to me crouched down beside me, "Are you okay?" I nodded and sat up quickly moving away from him, "I'm fine. Just . . . upset about my . . . about stuff. I'll be fine."

He helped me up and I straightened my dress; just realizing now that it had raised to my hips revealing my white thong. I blushed with embarrassment. "Would you like some company tonight to forget about the poor bastard?"

I frowned and shook my head, "No, thank you. I would like to get back to the party now." I walked around him but before I could get anywhere he grabbed my arm and turned me around towards him, and started pulling me deeper into the forest, "Come on. Don't be a tease, flashing me like that. You meant for that to happen."

"No. I didn't. It was an accident. I swear. Now let go of me." I tried to pull my arm out of his grip but I couldn't. He was too strong. "Let go!"

He pulled out what looked like to be a pen. Like a diabetic pen or something. But when he stabbed me with it, it wasn't just a prick. It was a strong stinging feeling throughout my whole body. Then I couldn't move at all and I was numb.

"Sorry, Princess Elena. But boss' orders." He laughed as he lifted me over his shoulder like a child. Princess Elena? What was with all these crazy people? I am not a princess!

"What the fuck?!" The man turned just as I caught glimpse of a fugure running through the forest coming towards us. I didn't see who it was but it frightened the man that was holding me.

He threw me to the ground roughly and I inwardly groaned. I couldn't even make any sounds or anything. But that hurt. And I was hurting. This numbness was turning into pins and needles except for worse so now I was really hurting.

I heard footsteps and groans but I couldn't see. I could move my eye balls but I could only get the picture of two people's legs as they danced. Except it was a dance to the death, it seemed.

Finally they stopped when one went flying and I heard fast footsteps. Running, probably. Then the other person kneeled beside me but out of sight. "Damn it." He swore. It was Taliesin. "I'm gonna get you out of here. You'll be alright, Elena."

He turned me over on my back and slid his arms under my back and knees before standing up with me in his arms. I moaned. I could make sounds now. "I know it hurts, baby. But I'll take care of you. It'll wear off after a while."

"I wanna . . . go home." I muttered. I could talk now too. But that was it. I still couldn't move. I didn't want to either. But I wanted to try and find a comfortable position where it didn't hurt so much.

"No. We can't go back to your place. We have to leave this planet. I'm gonna get you to our ship. I'm gonna meet them at location 67." He said. I frowned and looked up at him, muttering, "You're crazy. And I'm . . . hurting and . . . tired. What . . . was that?"

He answered, "It was a shock-pen." I just realized that he was running further into the forest. I muttered, "I . . . have to . . . get me . . . one of them." I thought I heard him chuckle or laugh but it was too late. I was unconscious before I could fully register the action.


Chapter 14: Kidnapping

I woke up on a groan. I was laying on something soft and cushioned. I thought that Taliesin had layed me in bed when I had fallen unconscious in his arms.

But when I opened my eyes I then realized that I wasn't in my room. Where was I? Where was Taliesin? Was he alright? Did my attacker come back and off with Taliesin and kidnap me?

I was laying in a king size bed with satin white sheets covering me. I sat up letting the sheets fall off of me. I no longer wore my black dress I had worn to the party. Now I wore a long white gown and it was beautiful. But who undressed me to change me? I felt my hips and felt my underwear was still on. I could feel my bra holding my breasts up so I still had that on. That was a relief but it still didn't help any.

I threw the sheets off of me completely and stood. I wasn't hurting but I remembered the pain I had been in all too clearly and the memory brought back little aches. The room was fit for a queen. It was huge and well furnished. Sofas, coffee tables, dressers, desks with cushioned chairs, and two doors that probably led to a closet or the exit.

There was also a single door to the side. I went over to that door because it would only make more sense that they'd have two doors for a closet or a huge bathroom and only one door for the exit.

I tried the knob and it opened right up. I walked out and saw a wall that curved up to the ceiling as if the building I was in, was shaped in a circle or an oval. I turned and went down the hall slowly. I stayed close to the wall to avoid running into anyone. I felt dirty, which was uncomfortable, but was glad that whoever changed my outfit didn't clean me as well.

I saw doors only on the left side of the hall. I didn't dare open any of them. I was only interested in finding the exit.

But, unfortunately, one of the doors did open. A tall man came out. He wasn't the man who attacked me. He was different. He had no hair on his head and his head was waxed. There was even a tattoo on the top of his head. It looked like a dragon or a lizard.

"Oh." He bowed and extended his arm towards me. "Your majesty, I was not aware of your regain of consciousness. Would you like me to announce you to everyone?"

My face turned to horror as he stood and looked confused. I backed up shaking my head. Then I turned and darted back down the hall to where I came from.

Another door opened and this time Taliesin walked out. I ran right into him throwing my arms around his waist, "Taliesin? They got you too? Where are we? And why did they kidnap us?"

He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me, "Elena. They didn't kidnap us. I brought you here. Remember when I told you that you were Princess Elena and fit to be queen? We're on our ship on our way back to Rahanni."

I frowned and pulled back from him, "You're apart of this too? I thought . . . I knew that you weren't any good when I caught you with that Sandra Blake but I never thought that you would turn to kidnapping me."

"I didn't kidnap you. You belong here." He said. I pushed him back and ran around him. "Elena! No! Wait!" I screamed and pushed myself further.

His arms flew around me as I was too slow to get away from him. I screamed, "Let go of me! Now!" I could feel all the anger rise to the surface. All the strength I had, rise to the surface. All the pain of being adopted. All the pain of seeing him with another woman. All the pain and hurt of watching him make an excuse for it like he had done nothing wrong. All the embarrassment from the fool I've been.

"Elena! Stop this! You're going to make us crash!" I heard Taliesin yell. There was also a new man standing in front of me. He was dressed in a black and green outfit that looked to be a uniform. He panicked, "She's damaging the engines! We'll crash into Hythermia if she doesn't stop and put it back together!"

That's when I realized that the building was shaking violently and the lights were blinking on and off.

But that didn't stop me. He grunted, "Elena! I promise you that we won't hurt you! Just stop!" The boy turned and ran off. I started shaking my head back and forth, "I should've listened to everyone when they
