Angel reached for the big needle he normally used to inject them as if they were animals, and stabbed him in the arm with it. The man grunted in pain, afraid to shout as Blaze continued to glare at him. Angel injected whatever was inside into the older man's arm and watched as he started to shiver, his colour turned bright red like a lobster and he started to drool. “That must feel great, right?” Blaze said as he reached for another one and passed it to Angel. Angel extracted the full dosage and when the older man made it as if he was going to raise alarm, Blaze held his open palm to his mouth, holding his head firmly to the seat headrest as Angel injected him again. Kurt loosened the tied girl and helped her to wear a gown. Odwolf made a triumphant sound and turned around from an open refrigerator hidden in a corner to show the rest a blue liquid in a small tube. He packed the rest of them, stuffing them in his pocket, and then lifted another set of tubes from the refrigerator too
Nadia took off her clothes as soon as she got inside her room and went to drop them inside the washing machine. She then twisted the Jacuzzi faucet, allowing the water to pool inside. Walking to pick a soap bomb from a side soap shelf, she threw it inside, and walked to the shower stall to soap and scrub her body clean before going to soak herself inside the Jacuzzi with a towel wrapped around her wet hair turban style. She tried not to think of Angel and all that had happened that day but it was hard not to. She would soon be sending her Nana home and Angel too would leave. Her father was still in jail and although his lawyers are pessimistic he would soon be released, she knew it might not be and she may have to stay with her uncle indefinitely. She was stuck in a house with crazy people whom she disliked and she didn’t know when she would be free of it all. She took a shaky breath as tears blinded her and spilt down her face. “Damn it!” she muttered, hating the fact that she can’
When they finally made it to the tunnel, Blaze was lying down on the makeshift bed with the human girl. He wrapped himself around her and she had her back to him. With the way they were, Angel could see that Blaze's folded knee was in-between the girls’, her ass was pressed to his groin and one arm was wrapped around her shoulders, and the other was inside her dress, and up her chest. Angel kicked him by the leg and he bolted up, quickly forming a defensive stance. The sheet covering their lower body peeled off showing the girl's dress had ridden up and it was her bare ass that was pressed to Blaze's groins but Blaze’s pants were up. Nadia coughed trying to hide a giggle. It was obvious the two got carried away at some point in the night. Angel arched an eyebrow at him and the younger Were turned red in the face. He quickly shook his head at Angel then lowered his gaze. He pulled the girl's dress down and gently shook her awake. The girl sat up and her eyes widened with dismay wh
“The werewolf with the golden fur,” Xavier replied. “You mean Blaze, his real name is Faelan?” Angel asked, darting a widened gaze at Blaze who was now shifting uncomfortably on his feet. “Yes, he has a family, a brother, waiting to reunite with him,” Xavier supplied.“Interesting—” Angel said, arching an eyebrow at Blaze who rolled his eyes but Angel could tell he was happy at the information and excited. He felt happy for the young Were. “He never spoke about a family, but that isn’t a surprise. I knew he was brought in young. They take them through hell before throwing them in the Were pit. Some weren’t strong enough to make it that far. He did. You don’t want to know what they do to pups around here…” Angel said, causing everyone to lower their gazes to the floor. “Why Blaze though?”“The boy is always angry, and when he was brought to us, he wasn’t able to remember a thing. I and the rest of the guys named him Blaze,” Angel replied. Blaze held his gaze looking sheepish, the co
Angel couldn’t tell when the doctor’s body would be discovered and he wanted the humans brought out of the building before all hell broke loose. He paced, thinking of how to keep informed of what was happening in the main building. If their plans were discovered prematurely, he didn’t think it would be advantageous for them to be trapped in the pit. It would be too easy to wipe them all out. He watched from the corner of his eye as Odwolf went from cell to cell giving the other Weres the elixir. A few of them swallowed the content in one gulp, Kurt pocketed his and went to sit down on his bed. Angel knew it would soon be daybreak and the thought of sleep was farthest from his mind. “We should all get some rest. The next few hours are going to be tasking,” Kurt announced. A smile tugged the corners of Angel’s lips. ‘Kurt, always the voice of wisdom,’ he thought, but unlike others, he didn’t approach his bed. He went to a corner of the cell and stood with his back resting against
Angel’s chest was heaving by the time he got to the dense woods framing the pit. He saw about twenty heavily armed guards surrounding the pit entrances. Mathew was there and for some reason, Angel was glad Daniel wasn’t. The addition of the pervert always made things a tad dangerous. He clenched his jaw, knowing he was too late. He pressed his back to a big tree and looked up the branches. Deciding to climb up, he did as quietly as he could to keep out of sight. Their evil act didn’t take long and soon enough they all filed away. He heard Mathew, instructing the head of the guards not to mention the action to his father or he would kill him on the spot. Angel sighed, knowing exposing Mathew would not do them any good, it would only make Mathew think of something more disturbing to do in retaliation. And he seriously doubted that Antonio Rufus could stop him. He waited for about an hour until he could not perceive any human in the vicinity. He then dropped to the ground. Landing gra
Getting back to the estate, Nadia made sure it was only Ava who carried her purchases. And they took the lift up instead of the stairs. Once they got on her floor and she saw there were no guards there, she helped her to carry some of it into her room. As soon as she shut the door to her room, she pulled Ava into her arms for a hug. The other girl was startled for about a second then she returned the hug. When Nadia pulled back, she saw her eyes were misty with tears. “So, I got you something — five dresses and two sneakers…” “Wait what, the masters…” “Don’t worry, you wouldn’t be wearing them here,” she said to the girl without elaborating and ignored her puzzled glance. “I would not want to draw attention to you, anyway,” Nadia added. * * * Angel lay on the bare, cold floor with one arm over his face, he used stones to cover the broken wall just in case any of the guards happened to come inside there, and perchance, managed to get away before he could get to him. He needed it
Angel waited for her to meet his gaze and he peered into her eyes as if he was trying to gauge her sincerity. Nadia hated that he still had his reservation about her. It was quite evident in his eyes. She felt even worse when he didn't say anything and just held his gaze forward. But she did notice his fingers tightening around hers as he urged her forward. She swallowed gently not quite sure how to take that. Angel took her to a big oak tree not too far away from the pit. Holding the bag in one hand, he turned his back to her and asked her to wrap her arms around his neck. Nadia hesitated for about a millisecond before doing as he asked. Angel carried her up the tree at a fast pace that was enough to make her heart thud with fear. Stopping at about fourteen feet up, where the trunk stopped and spread out its branches, he placed the food on the widespread space atop it and hoisted himself up along with her. Nadia got off his back and gingerly sat, facing him and backing an enormous
When their needs were thoroughly satisfied, they found their way to the park. Angel noticed the little ones were no longer there. Amelie and the triplets had gone back to the cabin but Xavier was there with Cole, Ash, and the rest of the gang. Cole was standing behind Isabelle with his arms wrapped around her, chatting with Xavier and Jason. Opaline was talking to Faelan and he could see the younger Were shifting on his feet and darting anxious gaze to Jason. His big brother turned around and grinned in his direction as the younger Were glowered at him. Jason laughed. Wulfrun, Darrow, Kurt, and Odwolf were sitting around a table laden with drinks, and with the way Wulfrun kept shaking his head and staring into his cup he was certain the Alpha wolf was half drunk. Tiana was in a corner with Ash and with how close their bodies were and the scent surrounding them Angel knew there was some foreplay going on there. "Looks like we have to pick a side," Nadia said in a laughing tone.
Angel and Nadia left his parents and strode back in the direction of the park. Angel wrapped his arm around Nadia's shoulder, holding her tight to his body as they walked. "Tell me about them…" Nadia said in a soft voice. Angel lowered his head to press a kiss to her forehead. "My mother was the only daughter of an alpha—" "Also Wulfblood?" Nadia asked. "No," Angel replied. Nadia smiled up at him. "She was a warrior and quite dashing. According to the story, I heard. She rejected her first mate, and the second and the third…" Angel said. Nadia chuckled. "She said she didn't want to be tied to any mate, but then she met my father at a party and his wolf recognised her as his true mate. My mother said the moment she set her eyes on him she knew she was in trouble." "I bet! Especially if you look like him. It's hard to tell now and it breaks my heart," Nadia said. Angel's arms tightened around her and he kissed her again. "Yes, I looked like him. She said he walked up to her
Xavier, Isabelle, Angel, and Nadia with Hallec in the lead accompanied Angel's parents to an unoccupied cabin not too far from Angel's house. Angel's mother faltered on her feet after the walk, clinging to her son and Angel paused to lift her up in his arms. "Aunty," Isabelle called with concern. "It's been a long day. I am fine, Belle," she said. Isabelle nodded and threw a worried look at Xavier. "Amelie is the pack's doctor. I will come to pick you up first thing in the morning. So she can give you a full body check." "Thank you, Xavier. Cole, Belle's mate, already told us," Alpha Bardulf said, sounding tired too. "He seems like a good human," he added. "He is," Xavier, Angel, and Nadia said at the same time. The old man grinned. Isabelle smiled. "You have quite a number of humans here as security. Do you trust them all?" "Well… they are useful for now. Cole hired them for specific jobs and I am certain that none of them would want to have him as an enemy," Xavier sa
Nadia was with Isabelle, Tiana, Opaline, and Amelie when they all watched the craft land atop the mountain. They had gone to visit Amelie with the new additions to the family as they had been doing for the past few days. Amelie was a bit overwhelmed with the thought of three babies but with the she-wolves' assistance, she had a lot of time to rest and be with her mate. The she-wolves have been taking turns in babysitting and helping with the house chores. Xavier was still a tad careful about having Weres stream freely to the home he now shared with his mate and still had guards standing across the water to the cabin as security and to allow only authorised pack members to cross over to the cabin. But since he was the Alpha to the pack and the triplets were the first babies born by a human mare to a Were, all the pack members were interested in seeing the babies. Xavier decided to organize a party so as to introduce the babies to the pack members. Nadia didn't know the setup of
Angel helped to groom his parents in the jet on their way back to the island, cutting off his father's beard and trimming his hair. Cole gave them new clothes and the two took their baths and changed into the new clothes in the jet. Angel's mother washed her hair and braided it into two cornrows. Her hair was all grey now and reached below her bum. The dress she wore hung on her slim form, but Angel thought they looked quite better than they did a few hours before. The stewards gave them plenty to eat and drink, and Cole assured them they would undergo a thorough check-up when they got to the island. After their meal, Angel sat across their chairs just looking at them. His mother tried to smile at him and her lips trembled as tears welled and spilt down her face. "I never thought that I would see you again. I did pray and prayed for the moon goddess to watch over you and send you a helper," the older woman said in a voice thick with emotion. "I'm so sorry, mama. It was my fault…"
Angel and his parents watched the fucker's blood pool under his head and soak the snow-covered floor. His brain cells splattered everywhere. "Where is the property deed?" Cole asked calmly as if he hadn't just shot a man in the head. "In a box buried under the earth over there," Angel’s father said, weakly, pointing to the left end of where they stood."How come you never gave it to him?" Angel asked, still holding on to his parents, making sure he held them to his sides as if he was afraid they were an illusion that might fade away. "I was hit in the head, when they attacked," the old man started. Angel clenched his teeth remembering the scene too well. "I told him I had lost my memory. Your mother was unconscious for days," he continued. Angel pressed a kiss to the older woman's head as she clung to him. "She lost her voice for a while too. It made it easy for me to continue the charade.""They had killed everybody else…" the older woman chipped in sad resignation. "So there wa
(The Boldclaw Prowlers’ Pack, Ohio. Seven days before Cole and Isabelle's wedding) Angel took a deep breath as the Jeep stopped just in the driveway. The place looked different from the last time he saw it. The expansive bungalow he remembered was now replaced by a massive duplex. The front porch was framed with exotic flower beds and the only familiar sight was the endless ridges of grapevines about a quarter of a mile away from the building spanning to the horizon. He wondered if the small cottages at the south end of the grounds were still there. "Ready?" Cole asked and he directed his gaze at him. "I still can't believe we are here…" Angel said, noting his courage failing. "Believe me, I know exactly how you are feeling right now. But if you don't take that step and find closure, it will forever haunt you. Let's go," he said and without giving Angel the chance to react he pushed the door open and stepped out. Angel was forced to imitate the act. As soon as he stepped out th
"I found out who I am, papa," she said, calling her father the way she used to when she was little or feeling vulnerable. Her father's eyes widened. "W – what do you mean?" he stuttered. "I found out why you and mum wouldn't allow me to use a regular hospital.""That fucking bastard! Did Antonio tell you?! He promised me he will never bring you into his shitty obsession with those creatures---""You mean our kin, papa?""Nadia, listen to me you are nothing like—""I am no longer just wolfless kin as you and my uncle Antonio, Papa. The moon goddess blessed me with a mate, a Wulfblood…""Oh God, he has infected you with his madness. Wulfblood are extinct. They no longer exist, Nadia! Antonio was not right in the head. He was obsessed with those creatures …"Nadia gave Angel a warm smile, Xavier gestured for every Were to turn their back to Nadia and right there she shapeshifted. A gasp tore from the device as her father gaped at her. Isabelle passed a robe to her, standing out of vi
"Tiana!" Amelie called out to the unconscious she-wolf on the ground. "Help me drag her here. She can not die! She was protecting me!" Amelie started to weep. Isabelle rushed back to her and knelt in front of the two women, panting. "Help me drag Tiana here. He shot her in the chest! She was trying to protect me!" "Amelie, calm down…" Isabelle cautioned. The other woman grunted in pain. Isabelle looked from her to Nadia for an explanation."She is in labour," Nadia supplied. Fear clouded Isabelle's eyes. "What?" She muttered and jerked her gaze back to Angel. "Let me try to get Xavier and Cole," Angel said as Amelie struggled to crawl to Tiana, but Nadia stopped her.Isabelle dragged her friend towards the doctor. Amelie struggled to kneel and then quickly tore open Tiana’s vest to check her wound. Nadia knelt beside her ready to help. Angel and Isabelle flanked them, in a protective stance while war literally raged around them. Kurt, Blaze, Odwolf and the rest of the Weres had
