ADAIRA~I didn’t even have the strength to leave the room. Tamika came in about an hour after Gavrael left to attend to me. She made me get up to bathe and though I wanted to remain in the room, I left it for mine. I didn’t want to be there when Gavrael returned. My grandfather came in much later to visit me after Tamika couldn’t get me to eat anything. She must have been the one to call him. Seeing him made the tears I had managed to keep at bay return.“Oh Ady.” He said as he joined me on the bed.I turned to face him as he wrapped his arms around me and began to cry. He was just a reminder that it was just the two of us left now.“It will be okay, child. I’m here now.” He said as he stroked my hair, even though I felt his own sorrow.“They’re gone.”“I’m here. I’m still here. We still have each other.” He said as he kissed my forehead.I didn’t reply to him, just held him closer and soaked up all the comfort he was offering, the comfort that my own mate couldn’t even stay behind t
ADAIRA ~ I tried to move away from his arms but his grip on my breast tightened and I gasped. This made him groan against the back of my neck. “I love the sounds you make when I touch you, mate.” “Are you delusional? I just said let me go. You’re hurting me.” I snapped at him but he just chuckled behind me. “Do you really want me to let you go? Or do you just want me to kiss it better?” He asked with an amused smile. “I don’t need your kisses, nor do I need your…” I was still talking when he flipped me to lie on my back. Because I had no plans to leave my room, I had worn just a shirt with lace panties underneath. The shirt was big so he just had to pull it down by the side and my breasts spilled over the top and in the next second, one of my nipples was in his mouth. A moan escaped me before I could stop it, and a low growl came from his chest as he heard it. I tried to push him away because his touch was distracting me but he pinned my two hands above my head with one of his o
ADAIRA~He didn’t reply to me, just vanished from my sight as he teleported from the room. That was worse than if he had actually argued with me, and he called me a witch again even after we'd settled that issue. He planned to satisfy himself with someone else. Even if I despised him, he was still mine. No one else should touch him but me. It was this thought that had me tumbling off the bed, following the tug of the mate bond and rushing to locate him.I found him outside among his rogues. They were throwing a small feast to celebrate their victory against the pack they had invaded earlier. Gavrael was now seated at the head table with his main warriors around him. I watched as he silently ordered Midi to her knees before him with a finger. She didn’t hesitate, and she made sure to turn to me as she obeyed him so I would see the smile of triumph on her face. Her smile didn’t last because he grabbed her hair and yanked her head closer to his spread knees.My growl was a threat as I t
GAVRAEL~“I will not give what will not be valued. Not my body, not my heart, not my will.”Hearing her say that multiplied my already potent rage. As usual, Adaira knew just how to push my buttons and make me too angry to reason rationally. Which was why instead of trying to resolve this argument, I made it even worse.“Fine! If you will not let me have you, then I will take from someone else that’s willing to give me everything I want without filling my ears with sentimental rubbish.” I said as I got down from the bed.’She was hurt that I would consider seeking pleasure from another but I was too angry to care about her feelings right now or care about what doing this would do to our already fragile relationship. My first thought was to drag the first female I see into any available room and fuck my anger out on her, but even the idea repulsed me. I wouldn’t be able to stand another female’s hands on me. I was not doing this for my own pleasure, no other female could give me pleas
GAVRAEL~Whoever had fed these hunters information to use against us would be very sorry when I get my hands on them. There was no other way for humans to have known of their existence and these other things that could be used against them, except the humans were informed by somebody on the inside. A shifter must have told them, but why? No matter what issues packs had among themselves, it was forbidden to involve humans for security purposes. Remaining anonymous prevented clashes between humans and supernatural beings, it was better to remain figments of their imaginations. Humans feared what they could not understand, and that fear may lead to irrational decisions like unnecessary wars.Three days. It has been three days since I felt Adaira’s pain through our bond and she seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. I was almost out of my mind with helpless rage and fear. Only the thought that she needed me to find her kept me going, kept me partially sane. She must have bee
ADAIRA ~ My eyes felt so heavy and all I wanted to do was keep sleeping, keep my eyes closed and rest. But my instincts were warning me that there was danger close by and for that reason I tried to force my eyes open. I felt so tired, no, not tired, drained. Like all the strength had been sapped out of me with a vacuum. It took several minutes to open my eyes, and as I did, I had to close them because even though it wasn’t very bright where I was, the small light still hurt my eyes. My mind was scrambled, groggy, disoriented, vacillating between a dream and reality. I tried to call on her strength but I could not feel my wolf like I should. That would have made me wary if I had the strength to feel such emotion at the moment. Right now, it was taking all of my energy just to keep breathing. I began to hear voices but I wasn’t sure if they were real or if this was just a figment of my imagination. “She’s waking up.” One voice said. “It’s not a she, it’s a bloody freak of nature. You
ADAIRA~My thirst had gotten worse, and if not that I know that my sweat was infected with the poison in my system, I would have licked as much of it as I could off my skin. I was getting weaker, and my senses were getting duller. I need some form of nourishment to keep my body going or I may end up dying here since I couldn’t draw sustenance from my wolf. No! I shook my head to banish the thought of death. I refuse to die here being treated like an animal. I refuse to die in captivity. I will live, and I will get free, if not for anything, then to make sure everyone involved in my capture gets a taste of the pain I planned to give them. I just have to hold on for a while longer.“Are you ready to answer me now? Or should I find better ways to convince you?” The boss said as he stepped back into the room.He was accompanied by four males this time, Barry and Mason and two new ones I haven’t seen before.“So that beast really turned to this? To a human?” One of the new males that was
ADAIRA~“Is that okay for you or do you need more food? I know your body systems are faster than ours, but I don’t know how much of your metabolism was affected by the wolfsbane.” The female asked as she squatted outside the bars.She was closer to me than any of the males had dared to come. She had guts, or maybe she just had too much trust in the wolfsbane injection she had with her. She was also speaking to me like I was a friend, instead of the truth that I was just a potential lab specimen to her. If that was her way to gain my trust, then she was just as stupid as the males behind her.“Stop acting like you care about my well being.” I said to her as I shoved the meat down my throat.Thankfully, it was cooked. If they had brought raw meat to me to reiterate their point that they only saw me as an animal, I would have thrown a fit like the last time they gave me water in a dog bowl. It’s not like shifters didn’t eat raw meat, but most shifters, including me, usually only did so
