Cathy sat quietly in her seat unable to ignore Ted’s presence when he sat so stiffly in the driver’s seat, clutching the steering wheel tight in his hands. He didn’t spare her a glance but from time to time his eyes dropped to the cuffs binding her hands together.He pressed his lips into a thin hard line, his jaw remained locked and tense.Cathy thought about saying something but what could she say?Unable to deal with the awkward angry silence anymore she rested her head on the tinted glass and tried to sleep. But sleep would not come only her thoughts raced through her mind. The more she remained that way, the angrier she got. He had no right the act the way he was acting! She did nothing wrong. It wasn’t like she planned to be abducted. He didn’t want her, her brothers locked her up like a child in her room so pardon her if she was tired of being treated like a spoiled child or an unwanted toy.“Cathy,” Ted called out.Her eyes remained closed. If he was stubborn, she was equally
He didn’t put her down, not even when they got into the penthouse with its airy, homey feeling. Like everything had been in the beach house, the decorations were simple and masculine and Cathy suspected everything was far more expensive than she could ever think.Cathy wasn’t complaining about being carried in his arms. Now that they were done fighting she was too weak to do anything but hang on to him and bury her face in his neck.He smelled so good, even better than she remembered, even with the blood on him. She sucked a deep breath of him in to cleanse her lungs. The memory of those men and how they hit her was too fresh in her memory, nothing would ever make her forget so soon. Even though she had convinced Ted that she was fine, she hurt all over. Her legs were the weakest of all. She was glad when he carried her through the house, into the master’s suite which was huge and equipped with all modern facilities like an electric fireplace, remote-controlled blinds, lights that cam
“Before we begin,” he whispered against her mouth, kissed her again then went down on one knee beside the tub and reached into his back pocket for something. It was a syringe which he placed on the side of the tub. “You need to take this.”Cathy lifted herself to examine the clear bubbly liquid in the syringe. “I got this at the island right?”“Yes. Lila develops them.” He dropped his hand into the water and lifted her right leg over the edge of the tub. It was slippery and wet with soap and water. “This will hurt a little,” he told her before uncapping the syringe.Cathy winced as the needle sank into her thigh. Ted withdrew the needle, dropped it on the floor, and covered the pinprick with his mouth to ease her pain.“Did it hurt?” he mumbled against her skin.“I’m a big girl, Ted.”He lifted his head and smiled at her, the tilt of his lips holding a challenge. “Let’s see if you’ll say that after tonight.”He kissed her thigh again and this time his tongue licked a path to her feet.
She stared excitedly, eyes shining at his jutting cock. The huge veined organ bounced before her eyes. Cathy’s mouth watered at the thought of taking him in. Her heart pounded in anticipation for when she could hold him in her hands, rubbing her palm along the length of his velvety hardness. But Ted’s hand remained closed around hers.She looked up at him, questioning him with her eyes.He loved the look on her face. If he could, he would do anything to keep that sultry, pouty look there for the rest of his life but there was one hurdle she had to cross.“Ted?”He took her face into his free hand, caressing her chin and mouth. “You can have me on one condition.”A slight frown touched her brows. “What condition?”“Three more orgasms. I want to watch you come again.”Her eyes widened in surprise and unbridled excitement. “Three?!”He leaned over her to kiss her open mouth his eyes challenging her. “Are you up for it?”Cathy swallowed. She was still recovering from the first, three more
So much for letting go of her, Ted thought. His eyes remained closed. He was asleep but this was as far as sleeping went for him. He had had enough part to sleep in the past, he didn’t need much of it now especially with more enemies knocking at his door now more than ever.He ran the palm of his hand on her silky soft skin. She was so soft and yet so fiery, the most passionate woman he ever met. He knew she was trouble the very first time he met her. His men had bound her in a room in one of his houses – he needed many houses to keep his enemies if he had to torture them. She wasn’t an enemy, she was just an obstacle at the time yet one look at her tied up and glaring and he lost himself in those brown eyes. He had tried to feed her pizza and she bit him.His lips twitched at the memory.Standing in her office a day ago realizing she was missing, letting her go had been the best idea but now…His hand made its way down her waist, over the side of her hip. Her leg was flung over his g
When Cathy came out of the bathroom, Ted was nowhere to be found in the room but there was a change of clothes lying on the bed; one of his shirts and a pair of cords.She smiled thinking about how she actually had no clothes to wear.Maybe I shouldn’t have asked about his life, she thought as she hugged her arms around herself.Then Cathy frowned. No, I was right to ask. He is my mate. I want him as my mate, I need to know him.She left the bathroom door and went over to the bed to inspect the clothes. The shirt was large enough to cover her to mid-thigh so she discarded the cords back into the closet. Just like every other thing in the house, she had to press a button to open the closet door.Cathy frowned at the limited display of clothes; a few shirts and pants and a couple of shoes. Nothing else.The lack of personal effects was…strange. Dressed in his shirt and enveloped in his scent, she looked around the room noting for the first time just how much like the beach house it was
After several hours, Ted finally got the call he was waiting for. Jazz Walker was a member of the Brotherhood who had left on good terms with the organization. Like, Ted, killing wolves had become too tiresome for her and so she had renounced half her vows. To protect humans but this time she would leave wolves unharmed as opposed to killing them. After all the population of wolves was increasing and many of them had long built empires controlling fortunes and countries. Ted could see why the woman had decided to leave the Brotherhood. With the emergence of more wolves all over the world, humans no longer feared them, they were fascinated with them. They read books, watched movies, and binged articles online about the creatures. Some even obsessed over becoming one and underwent extreme body modification for that purpose. Eventually, the need for Hunters sizzled out, and even more so now in the present century where wolves no longer had to prey on humans especially since the moon god
An hour later they came back to the kitchen hand in hand. Cathy was wearing another of his shirts and he wore a light cotton shirt and a pair of sweatpants.“Alright, Ted, sit and let me serve.”“I want to serve you.”She looked at him over her shoulder and laughed. “I’m the one trying to convince you to mate with me. Let me show you what I can do. Now sit and I’ll serve.”“Yes ma’am.” He was smiling as he pulled a chair to the small dining area in the kitchen, sat on it, and waited.Cathy dished two portions for both of them and brought the plates to the table. The sauce smelled heavenly and the pasta was creamy. She sat down beside him and looked up sheepishly.“I drank half the cream before I finished making the food. And I ate most of the vegetables too.”Ted smiled. “I like a girl with an appetite.”“All your girls?”Ted rolled his eyes. He liked it when she was jealous. She was just as possessive as he was. He kissed her head. “You worry too much.”“Well if you are going to be m
Cathy raised her hands to his pants. She tugged at his belt, undid it, and cast it aside. Then her fingers went to the metal hook which she tugged loose before going to work on his buttons.Edward watched her work, silent.She was nervous. He could sense her nervousness but he could also smell her arousal. It was delicious. Was this what his stupid brother smelled every time he fucked her? It made him jealous. He was so jealous he could barely think through the fog in his head. He wanted to bash her head in in his jealous anger. He wanted to squeeze her throat and watch with satisfaction as she struggled to breathe. His brother was not allowed to have anything that he didn’t have.He only calmed down when he squeezed his fingers into the palm of his hands and reminded himself that Cathy was here with him now not his stupid brother.Cathy had now finished unbuttoning his trousers. She reached into his pants and pulled his cock out. It was huge and long. Thickly veined, red, and wet at
“Leaving already?” Edward and Cathy stopped before his car. They were just about to get in when Veronica ran out of the club. She was surprised to see them leaving especially since the night was still young. “Any problem with that?” She came to stand in front of him, her eyes shadowed with confusion. “You have never left before the night is over, Edward.” “And I choose to leave early today, Kitty do you have a problem with that?” “I – I -,” her eyes drifted to Cathy who stood silently beside Edward still dressed in her lingerie. “No, I don’t have a problem with it.” “Good. Rebel and I are going home. You should be able to take care of the club while I’m gone, right?” his voice had become deep. She nodded. “Yes, Edward.” “I mustn’t lose any money tonight, Kitty, not even 1% of what I earned yesterday, have you heard me?” She nodded. “Yes, Edward.” He slipped his arm around Cathy’s waist. “Come, my dear, let’s go.” Veronica stood there and watched as they walked to the car wh
Dressed in a black silky chemise, Cathy followed Veronica who led her to the back of the stage.Veronica was muttering something about her not being ready for a show yet and why Edward could not see that when she glanced over at Cathy.Cathy’s face was blank. She simply stared ahead at the back curtains leading to the stage with her hands clasped in front of her. Her amber eyes were dull, and her eyelids fell heavy, causing her lashes to fall just shy of her cheekbones. It created a very sultry look that even Veronica had to admit looked sexier than that of their best dancer.She cocked a brow silently as she thought to herself, maybe she is ready.While they waited for the next dancers to leave the stage, footsteps suddenly came running toward them.Even though she heard them Cathy stared ahead. It was Veronica who looked back to see what the commotion was all about. Several of Edward’s girls were making their way toward them with huge frowns on their faces.“Kitty!” they cried out.
The club was larger than anything she had ever seen. Not that Cathy had any memories of clubs that she had seen. As soon as she walked in with her arm locked with Edward’s, her eyes widened.It was a very huge establishment. It had high arched ceilings that had been converted with round glass bulbs throwing different colors of lights all over the place. Speakers hung from almost every corner of the wall, booming loud banging music that made the ground shake beneath their feet. The ground was black tiled and it was marble. It was clean too. Edward had a policy about neatness in his club so while drinks were passed around, staff made sure they moved silently through the crowd to mop up anything that may have been spilled.But that was just the common area and though it was spectacular to look at it was still a common area with lots of people and cheap drinks around.Edward released her arm and slipped his arm around her waist. “Come.”Veronica had led the other girls to the back to get
“I’m guessing that’s something related to my sister?” Chase did not hesitate to ask as soon as Teddy announced that news.“It might be,” Ted responded.Asher returned with some clothes which he tossed across the room at Ted who easily caught them. He dressed quickly turning his lips down at the corners at the thought of wearing clothes that did not belong to him. But he couldn’t complain because he was in the enemy’s territory and he was lucky to still have his head on his shoulders especially because he was responsible for the disappearance of one of the most valued members of their pack.He finished dressing and then turned to Teddy. “Where did Max say he was?”“Still hunting down the Shadow. One of the other guys claimed he might have had an encounter with him so Max is following that lead.”“Which may be wrong,” Chase interjected.“But following it is worth a try. I don’t suppose I could grab some weapons from your arsenal?” Ted asked hopefully.“Why?”“So that he can be prepared
“Will you explain what the heck is going on here?”Asher’s tone was deceptively calm. Anthony could sense not just the confusion, he could also sense the fear he felt at seeing Ted awake without knowing what the heck to expect. He understood Asher’s fear but he also understood his anger. Even Chase and Carl were both angry and fearful and they kept respectful distances. The only people who didn’t subconsciously back off from him and Ted were Maggie and Teddy.Maggie came forward and put her arms akimbo. “So, would you two explain what the heck I going on here?”“Just as soon as he closes his and Ted’s skull,” Carl chipped in, disgust lacing his voice.“Give me a moment,” Anthony told them and he stood up. While Ted watched everything going on with a frown across his forehead, Anthony used his powers to close up both their heads.“What the hell dude!” Ted exclaimed as soon as his skull was fixed back. He raised a hand to his head and touched it half expecting to be touching his brain b
Anthony remained where he stood for a moment. Now he had the man, he just had to convince him to come back to life. It would not be an easy task and now Anthony was beginning to wonder if he had made a mistake. He had been lucky enough that those drops of water, like bread crumbs, had led him to Theodore. Ted himself were those water drops. He had wanted Anthony to find him that much was obvious but did he want to be brought back to life?Anthony didn’t care whether or not Ted wanted to come back to life. He infiltrated his mind for the sole purpose of bringing him back to life. Finding Cathy was paramount in Anthony’s mind. He had seen how distraught Asher was, he didn’t even want to imagine how Maggie would be. Anthony’s greatest fear as he prepared to do what he had to was that he would break Maggie’s trust and thereby betray the trust her father had in him when he took the chance to make him the pack doctor even though there were wolves in the pack more medically gifted than him.
Teddy watched the doctor skeptically. It seemed to him that the doctor was muttering something under his breath as he walked the length and breadth of the room twice before stopping at the foot of the bed. Teddy narrowed his eyes. He was curious to see what Anthony was doing.Anthony raised his dark eyes to Teddy’s face and in that moment the other man felt a chill go down his spine. There was something different about Anthony. Something terrifying, something insane and mysterious. Perhaps it was the look in his eyes, the tiny pinprick pupils, or the fact that his skin was paler than normal. Whatever it was, it terrified Teddy greatly.“Have you ever tried taming the beast?” Anthony asked. Even his voice was different now. It was deeper and as cold as death.Teddy resisted the urge to shiver as he gathered his thoughts to answer him. “W-we usually just let it have its fill of blood. Sometimes Theodore brings it under control and other times…” he shrugged helplessly. “We’ve never tried
The scarred woman stood behind Cathy watching as water poured down the shower on her body. Cathy’s body was pale, thin, and slippery with blood, sweat, and water. She was so weak she had to lean against the bathroom wall for support. The scarred woman did not offer a hand even though she frowned at Cathy's pathetic predicament. It was none of her business, that was what she told herself over and over as she applied more soap to Cathy's back and passed her the sponge so that she could scrub herself. Even though Cathy looked like something the cat dragged in from a very dirty tunnel, the scarred woman could see from the cords in her arms that on her good days, she was a very strong woman. Unbidden a smile curved her lips. Theodore always went for the stronger women. And Cathy was not just strong, she was beautiful too even under those layers of dirt and thin flesh so it wasn’t too far-fetched that he would go for a woman like her.But that smile soon disappeared as quickly as it came be
