I had to splash my face with water. I really thought the alcohol was getting to me. Was I imagining my wolf talking to me? There is no way. She left. I was sure this time for good.
“Raven, please tell me you are really there? I’m not just dreaming.” I asked, worried I was losing my mind.
“Yes, I’m here,” she answered, but not like her usual annoying self. “I was such a selfish wolf. Leaving you in the most heartbreaking time was an asshole move,” Raven admitted, and it felt like she was apologizing. But I knew she would never come out and say it, so this was her way of beating around the bush.
My eyes poured like a waterfall.
Instantly I moved away from Zade, which literally felt like my entire body caught fire from the pain of the distance between us, but I knew Zadie was not in the right place to hear that Zade was her real father and that he was my true love. Asher was my best friend my whole life and mate, but I didn't get the same feelings that I did when I was around Zade. But I knew I would have to tell Zadie the truth. I just wasn't sure if there would ever be a right time, but for now, I needed to get myself out of this mess. I went to Zadie and crouched, pulling her into a hug. “I'm sorry I wasn't there. Did you have a bad dream?” I asked, hoping she saw nothing other than maybe a friendly hug between her imaginary friend and me. Zadie shook her head, biting he
Fear overcame every part of my being. Nico had my daughter. She wasn't trying to stay away. He kidnapped her. Oh my God, what was he going to use her for? She was only a child. She couldn't create more tribrids for him. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. He was using her to get to me. Ugh, I'm going to kill that bastard once and for all! This time I will triple kill his ass if I have to, just to make sure. Frantic, I darted back towards my parent’s house. All I cared about was my daughter. I left Zade in the dust as I sprinted through the forest. Shifting back mid-air as I entered the backyard, I landed on my feet. My catlike reflexes helped steady my landing. I grabbed a towel fr
Knowing my family would soon figure a way out, I hurried towards the barn where all the cars were. Walking in the Camaro, I once called mine, sat in the corner covered. The front stuck out like someone lifted the cover to take a peak.After Benjamin died of cancer, I gave the car back. That was all she and Aunt Marley had left of him. My mother needed that sentiment more than me. She grew up with him as her father, and to lose him for a second time was hard on her.I peeled my eyes away and refocused. One of these cars had to have the keys in it. Who would be stupid enough to steal from the former Alpha?After searching several, I approached Hunter’s old car. Man, it was a heap. I had no clue why my parents kept it. Maybe for the pack. But geez, it was falling apart, rusted finders, broken mi
We drove in silence when I finally spoke up. "So, how are we going to find Nico if you can't sense him?" I asked, glancing at Zade, then back to the road. "If he got what he came for, then he is most likely headed back to Russia." Zade declared. The thought of Russia made my stomach turn into knots. Our memories are not significant except the night Zade and I made love and created our beautiful daughter. My poor baby. I was going to get her back even if it killed me. "Okay, I have resources in Cody. They can get us a plane." I said. "Wyoming, here we come." Zade smiled. Hours passed, and my eyes so badly wanted to shut. My entire
Our bodies molded together as if we had never spent a moment apart—our lips belonged to one another. I knew it was wrong with Asher not being gone long, but I have never felt more sure in my life about something besides Zadie. I never felt this way with Asher. Maybe the mate bond between werewolves wasn't as strong as a Lycan mate bond. I remember Zade saying that at the airport in Russia. That has to be it. Maybe my wolf was mated with Asher, but I, in human form, was mated with Zade. That could be why Raven and I don't see eye to eye half the time. We have different mates. No wonder she constantly argues with me about Zade. Geez, Paisley, this is not the time to think about all this nonsense when you have an incredibly sexy Lycan making out with you. I focused back on the task at hand. Mission bang, my mate, is in order. My hands found every crease of his athletic frame. M
My insides gagged at the thought Nico wanted me. "Well, that is just gross," I said like there was a disgusting taste in my mouth. Nico snatched me up by my throat and forced me against the wall. "You will do as I say, or I kill your daughter and lover boy over there while he's sleeping," He sneered. I knew I had no choice but to give him what he wanted. "If you let my daughter stay here with Zade, I will do whatever you want," I negotiated. Nico glanced down as if he was thinking it over, then looked me over slowly with his eyes stopping at my lips. He traced his thumb over my bottom lip as he glanced at my breast lustfully. "Fine, but I don't want any of your family looking for you. If they do, all I have to do is call on my watchers to take out your daughter. "They won't just please let me see my daughter one last time," I begged. He let go of me and backed away. Nico then snapped his fingers for the goon douchebag to grab Zadie. Th
*WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT!* I struggled to get away from Nico as he dragged me over to the bed and tossed me down violently, crawling on top of me. "Don't fight it," He growled, prying my legs open with his knee and placing his pelvis against my core. I knew giving in would be better, but I wasn't ready to stoop so low. I felt like a sex slave, and my soul was breaking at the thought of having sex with someone other than Zade. If I ever escaped, would Zade reject me? Would I be untouchable after this? My thoughts ran wild. Nico ripped my shirt in half. My bare breast out for him to see. His eyes turned black as if his Lycan was fighting to stay at bay. Humiliated, I covered my eyes as Nico took one of my nipples in his mouth like a savage. "I have waited for this moment for so long," Nico declared with a deeper, more intense voice like his inner Lycan was taking over. I said nothing, only laid there, st
My body jolted awake, sweat dripping down the side of my cheeks. My hair was damp. My breath was heavy, and my heart raced.It was always the same nightmare every day. I dreamed that I killed the guard and got away, but all I did after what he did to me was lay there like a coward.I went into a depression. I didn’t want to eat anything nor move from the couch. Not even to take a shower, I could care less what I smelled like or looked like for this man.It had been three weeks since Nico took away any right for me to have control over my own body. He comes in here and sniffs me every day. I don’t know if that’s the Lycan way for a pregnancy test or what? But it’s fucking creepy, and I was sick of seeing his face every day.My thoughts were i
