Accidental Shifter Chapter 1 Chased

Music blared out of Jenna's I- pod. The earphones drowned out any other noise. She crossed the road and turned into an industrial estate. A part of town that was home to factories and warehouses, at that time of night it was void of any life. In the darkness, the grey tin buildings gave off an eerie feeling, barley illuminated by the random streetlights. But Jenna was unaffected. She was still on a high from her night out and hummed along with the tunes she was playing.

If her mother or father knew that she was still out at that hour, then she would be grounded until she left for college. That would be a long time as she had only just turned sweet sixteen.

However, it was date night, and she knew that her parents were at the movies and her sister was out with her so called new boyfriend. It had just gone past eleven P.M. She had an hour to get home before anyone was expected back.

She had plenty of time.

The party she had just exited was exactly what her best friend Donna said it would be. Amazing. The music was so loud it had made Jenna's skin tingle. Plus, she was pretty sure that the school's new hunk Josh was hitting on her. He was new to town. Why anyone would wish to move to Dem'Say Woods was beyond Jenna. She dreamed of getting out of the small town. It had a measly population of six thousand people and was located in the middle of nowhere. The next town was over twenty-five miles away. Everyone knew everyone else's business and gossiping was more of a hobby than sports.

Dem'Say Woods was surrounded by a large forest which made the town feel lost to the rest of the world.

However, she couldn't deny that Josh had made her heart flutter. He was one of them guys that drew people to him, but there was something about him. Jenna wasn't sure what. There was wisdom to his eyes. His smile had made her weak at the knees.

An invisible hand clasped over her mouth. A hypodermic of adrenaline pierced her heart, unloading in an instant. Her ribs heaved as if bound by ropes, straining to inflate her lungs. Jenna's head felt like a carousel of fears spinning out of control, each one pushing her mind into blackness. She tried to focus and survey her surroundings. The streets were deserted. She was alone with her unknown attacker.

Panic fueled her adrenaline which ran through her system. It is fight or die; her mind screamed at her.

Thrusting her head back and digging the heel of her boot into her attacker, Jenna wiggled free while a loud gasp and curse came from behind her. It was a sound only a man could make. Deep and hallow.

She was pulled backwards by her long red hair and dropped her I-pod in the process. Struggling, she pulled forward which sent an acute pain searing through her skull and her eyes momentarily flashed with lights as dizziness made her stagger forward.

Wasting no time, Jenna set off into a sprint, her head burned, and her heart raced. Don't look, don't look. She chanted to herself. The fear of not being able to outrun whoever it was began eating away at her already somersaulting stomach.

She looked behind her. A man, or what she thought looked like a man, wearing black clothes with a hood concealing his face was closing in.

He was tall with long legs which enabled him to cover more ground quicker. Bang. Jenna had run into a streetlight and fell to the ground with a thump. Scrambling to her feet she ran with every ounce of strength she had, pumping her body like she had never before.

Her heartbeat picked up its tempo and drummed hard against her chest.

The lab where Jenna's Dad worked came into sight and she picked up speed, rounding the corner and skidding to a stop on the tarmac. She had only just seen a small gap in the iron fence.

She dashed through the gap catching her jumper on a jagged piece of metal.

The man came around the corner. She knew the instant he spotted her, as he moved faster. With one hard yank Jenna's jumper ripped, freeing her from the tangled mess she had found herself in. The main door was locked. Why wouldn't it be it at this time? She pulled on the handle a second time, with no luck. In a panic she ran around the building until she noticed a pile of rocks stacked up on the ground.

Picking up a rock, she smashed the window. The glass shattered and littered the floor, reflecting the full moons light.

It was ironic really. Her grandmother had told her often, all bad things happen on a full moon. The moon gives power to those that hold darkness in their hearts, allowing the evil within them to shine through.

Big shards perturbed from the window ledge and Jenna repeatedly hit them with another rock making a gap big enough for her to climb through. The noise would have defiantly alerted her attacker, so she moved quickly. Squeezing herself through the window. The glass sliced her leg, and the pain rendered her breathless as it assaulted her skin. There was no time to assess any injures. She moved further into the building and was swallowed by the darkness. Running her hands along the wall, she let her sense of touch guide her. "Remember child, you have more than one sense. Learn to use, touch, and smell one day they may come in handy. You never know what the future holds." Her grandmother's soft voice echoed inside her mind. Her once cryptic and strange words had now become her savior in her time of need.

Cold metal let her know she had reached a door, the smooth surface against her palm shot a bolt of triumph through her.

She twisted the handle slowly and gently pushed the door open, which let out a high-pitched groan, she entered, turning the lock on the inside.

Leaning against the locked door she took in deep breaths. The glass in the door was cool against her cheek. The glass, she had to move away. In the darkness, Jenna took slow steps, moving out of sight from the glass panel. Even though it was dark she didn't want to take any chances.

Heavy footsteps drew closer. She froze.

The handle on the door rattled and made her jump backwards, knocking over some jars that crashed to the floor. Liquid soaked her clothes and seeped into her skin. Searing hot pains ran down her body and she clenched her jaw together, to stop herself from crying out. Her breathe came in small gasps and the pain intensified.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

I married Clive Harrington, the coldest billionaire in Manhattan, under a strict contract that forbade any emotional burdens. When I needed a high-risk surgery to save my sight, I checked into the clinic alone, hiding the procedure from a husband who saw me as nothing more than a legal asset. I thought I could handle the darkness in silence. But while I was blind and bandaged in my hospital bed, my biological mother called, screaming that if I didn't produce a Harrington heir by the end of the fiscal year, she would cut off the life-saving treatments for my disabled sister. I was crawling on the cold hospital floor, desperately feeling for a cane I had dropped, when I touched a pair of expensive leather shoes. It was Clive. He was supposed to be in London closing a multi-million dollar deal, but there he was, watching his "contract wife" groveling in the dark like a beggar. He didn't walk away in disgust. He carried me to a five-thousand-dollar-a-night VIP suite and sat by my bed, listening in chilling silence as another voicemail from my mother filled the room, calling me a "useless broodmare" who was only worth the trust fund disbursements my marriage secured. I expected him to remind me of Clause 34B or hand me divorce papers now that I was "damaged goods." Instead, I felt his thumb brush a stray tear from my cheek, his presence shifting from a statue of ice into a predatory shield. "I thought I was just currency to you," I whispered, my voice trembling behind the gauze. "Just an investment." Clive didn't answer with words. He picked up his phone and called his head of legal with a single, terrifying command: "Kill the Douglas family’s credit lines. Every debt, every lien—trigger them all. If they want a war, I’ll give them a massacre." As he leaned down to kiss my bandaged forehead, I realized the contract was dead. My husband wasn't protecting an asset anymore; he was hunting the people who had dared to touch what belonged to him.
