GAVRAEL~The battle against the Grenshaw pack lasted for less than an hour and I howled in victory. The rage I had been feeling and the bloodlust were not completely sated because most of them were still alive but it would do for now. I let Adaira feel what I was feeling while the battle raged on, even let her see flashes of the fight but I blocked her out before she could see that I didn’t destroy them all, I wanted it to be a surprise. I left instructions for my wolves to get the Grenshaw pack ready for me, Adaira preferred it here so I would bring her here when she was more agreeable. I teleported back to the Brookstone pack and took a cold shower. With my adrenaline up and the thrill of the battle, I wanted nothing more than to fuck Adaira till we both passed out. But I could feel her sorrow, and grief so I restrained myself. Instead, I got her something to eat and teleported to her cell.“Time for dinner, I brought you something to eat.” I said as I stood outside the cell and sh
GAVRAEL~Adaira stirred against me, and I immediately woke up just in case she needed something. I nearly laughed as she wondered if she was dead and why everywhere was so dark.“It’s so dark because your eyes are closed. Open your eyes, mate.” I said with a chuckle.She opened her eyes but she still wasn’t sure if she was alive.“I assure you, mate, you’re very much alive. I told you that not even death itself could steal you from me, you’re mine.” I said to her.She tried to speak but her throat was too dry, so I got water for her to drink. After a few seconds, she spoke.“Death wasn’t trying to steal me, I was calling it. You shouldn’t have saved me.”“I assumed you were just trying to be stubborn and not eat in order to force my hand and have your way, and what happened was just a mistake. I noticed some pieces of food missing from the trays I brought to you and thought you were secretly feeding yourself, hoping I wouldn’t notice.”“Any food missing was taken by the rodents I sha
ADAIRA~Being locked inside the room seemed to be worse than being in a cell. I was restless, and I kept pacing around the room. I wanted to go outside, check on the members of the Grenshaw pack, see who was still alive and who wasn’t, join them to mourn the dead members of the pack, then see if I can find a weakness in Gavrael’s tight security. Another thing that worried me is the mate bond I shared with Gavrael that was strong enough to let him hear my thoughts. If I ever want to keep anything secret from him, I need to learn how to make my mental block stronger. So I practised, it’s not like I had any other thing to do in the room anyway.When it was time for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Gavrael no longer brought me food, he sent one of the teenagers from the Grenshaw pack to do it instead. The first time she had come into the room, I rushed to her and wrapped my arms around her. I noticed she was shaking and assumed she was crying because she was happy to see me, but as I pulled
ADAIRA~I was puzzled at her declaration. Guests? Which pack would be stupid enough to come visit Gavrael’s recently conquered domain? Or are there more hybrids like him? Are those the people he invited?“Which guests?” I asked Tamika even though I knew that she wasn’t permitted to answer my questions.To my surprise, she actually answered me, and that was the first thing that let me know that something was wrong. Warning bells were flashing in my head even before she said the first word.“The master sent out word to all the other packs and offered mercy only to those who would surrender their packs to him. Any Alpha who was willing to serve him would be spared from death and would hand over authority of their packs to the master. Anyone who refused and decided to defend their packs instead would be killed and their packs would be invaded and destroyed. The Alphas who agreed to serve the master were to come today. The master promised to throw them all a feast and they would swear the
ADAIRA ~ Tamika nearly had a heart attack as he appeared and I had to hold her so she wouldn’t fall. After so many days, he finally decided to come talk to me. I was about to tell him this when Tamika fell to the floor on her knees with her head bent. “Welcome, m.master.” She stuttered. She was shaking, and I could smell her fear. Gavrael could smell it too, and it made him smile. His curly brown hair that was usually tied was loose today and it fell around his face, stopping below his ear and nearly touching his shoulder. Even with his red eyes, he looked unbelievably good and I turned away when I felt my body reacting to his closeness. “So this is what you want? People kneeling and cowering at your feet, reeking of fear. Should I bow too?” I said to him. “You don’t look happy to see me, mate.” He said and I felt him walk closer till he was standing right behind me. “Why should I be happy to see you? Being around you usually means something will go wrong for me, and when you’re
ADAIRA ~ He took my hand and we both materialised at the pack centre where special events, mating ceremonies, and feasts like these were usually held. There was a huge bonfire in the middle, with seats arranged around it for the guests and Gavrael’s rogues. The members of the Grenshaw pack that I could see were standing around the tables, some serving drinks, some serving food, others taking away used items. The drums and instruments had been arranged at the side, and some shifters from the Grenshaw pack were playing. I was surprised to see some members of the Brookstone pack serving as well, which meant that Gavrael brought them all here so they could be slaves too. The number of them that I could see wasn’t the entire pack, so the rest were either dead or in cells. As we walked forward, the drums beat louder, the rogues hooted and cheered on their feet, the guests stood and bowed while those serving went on their knees with their heads bent low. My heart ached to see them reduced
ADAIRA ~ My eyes widened as he said that. Was he being serious? He really wanted me to give him a blowjob right here, right now, in front of all these people? Was parading me around not enough for him? How is my choice to sit on the floor his problem? “You can’t be serious.” I said to him and his red eyes flashed with anger. “Do I look like I have time for petty jokes?” He asked with a snarl. I’ve slowly come to despise his red eyes. Whenever he did something wrong to me, it was usually this side of him that was in control. But what else is to be expected of his demon half except evil? “We’re outside. If you really can’t control yourself, then I’ll service you inside. You can just teleport us back to the room and…” “No.” He cut me off while I was trying to reason with him. Everyone was watching us, even the musicians stopped playing. “If I wanted it done inside, I would have had my fill of you before we came here. I made you a Queen, Adaira, but you chose to reduce yourself to
ADAIRA~“Don’t even think of biting me out of spite or the girl dies.” Gavrael warned me sternly.It was as if he had known what I was thinking about just seconds ago. I suddenly realised something. Although Gavrael had just spoken my thoughts, it must just be a guess. Maybe my intentions to harm him had been written on my face, or he had just felt my brief bout of violence. But there was no way he had actually heard my thoughts because if he had, there would have been no need to warn me not to bite him. My last thought was that I wouldn’t bite him because I knew he would punish someone else that was close to me for it. Why would he still warn me if he had heard me think about this last?The answer was very simple. All my practice these past few days had worked. I had finally been able to fortify my mental barriers enough to block him out from immediately picking up every thought in my head. If he actually tried to read my mind, he would probably have access to it, but this was a maj
