Edward stared at her in disgust. At that moment she was the most repulsive thing he had ever seen and it wasn't because of her body or the vomit in front of her, it was the monstrosity the woman with the deep scar had removed from her body. Cathy was sprawled on the floor, brown eyes drained of life as she stared at the child. It was not like any child she had ever seen before. It didn't matter to her that the woman with the scar had just torn into her belly with a dagger to viciously yank the child from out of her womb. It didn't matter that she had bled for several hours before Edward injected her with the purple-colored liquid that was supposed to make her heal. She could only stare in amazement but with dead eyes at the child in front of her. This child was the reason she had been strangely sick, the reason why she couldn't eat basic human food without retching the contents of her belly, the reason she was losing so much blood until she had to switch to a diet of only blood and
Asher looked down at the limp figure on the bed. He was one of the five occupants in the room the rest were Anthony, Chase and Teddy. The last person was Ted and he was the limp figure on the bed. His eyes were closed while the other men stared at him as if trying to diagnose his illness.Eventually, Asher turned to Anthony. “Do you even know what is wrong with him?” he asked.Anthony shook his head. “I don’t even know what he is.”“And the only thing I know about him is that he is the hunter that my stupid sister decided to fall in love with and only a few hours ago would have decapitated my hand if I didn’t share the same blood as said sister.”Asher gave Chase a warning look which the man ignored. Asher shook his head. He knew Chase was mad. He was too. He wanted answers. He wanted to know what the heck happened to his pack member. Cathy was as much his responsibility as she was her brothers' and more than once, right under his nose, she had been abducted and tortured. Asher was be
Anthony waited until he was sure that no one could hear their conversation before taking off the surgical gloves he had put on for effect. He walked slowly to his suitcase where he disposed of the gloves and fished out a scapular which he slipped into the pocket of his white coat then took a thin, clear, and flexible pipe. Teddy watched the man suddenly skeptical about being left alone with him. He didn’t know much about shapeshifters but he knew to stay the hell away from them. They were cunny and worst predators than their vampires. Because there was a bit of almost everything supernatural in them there was no telling the kind of dormant character one shapeshifter possessed. Even brothers of the same shape-shifting parents had different characters and weaknesses. Some shapeshifters were docile while others were the wildest things you ever saw but there was no way of telling which from which without getting close enough to get hurt. This was why every supernatural hunter stayed the h
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
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
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.
“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
“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
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
