As I approached Valen’s camp, I ran the plan through my head again; walk out as Sapphire, come back, shift to human form, throw on the dress I just set under a bush, and walk back out to introduce myself. With Alister leaving us to join Genesis and my arch enemy being my uncle, they would come for us soon, and I could not afford to let them find my mate outside the gates with little security. My timeline was moved up and I needed him by my side, where he was safe.
“I think the plan will work, he’ll except us, you saw how frantic he was to find you when you ran. Do you think the guards are far enough away now?” Sapphire was ecstatic, practically jumping for joy at the idea of finally telling our mate who we were.
“I think they’re far enough away now, alright, lets get this done, we need to get back as soon as we can convince him to join us.” Valen was currently sitting at the rivers edge cleaning what looked to be a pan,
Thank you for reading, I hope you're enjoying the story!
Splitting off, we each began to circle with our chosen targets, I took the largest, a sandy colored male almost as tall as I was, a clear sign of powerful blood, most likely the cast out of a Beta family if I had to guess. But I did not need his life story, I needed his life. “Come on, big boy.” I taunted him, through a private mind-link I created between us. His eyes grew wide in surprise for a moment at the unexpected connection, before he was snarling at me once more, clearly he did not like being challenged. Good, I needed an outlet for some of this tension I had been carrying around for the past few days. He attacked first, launching himself at me, his jaws open wide as he aimed for my neck. Whatever his history was, he had never been taught proper battle strategy. I sidestepped him right before he would have connected, using my Alpha strength to up my speed and twisted around to lock my jaws on his hind leg, yanking him ba
“What exactly do you have to take care of that is more important than interrogating the first warrior of Genesis’s that we have captured alive?” My brother demanded, occasionally Fenris could see more than I gave him credit for. “Nothing of importance.” I mumbled through our link, licking at my paws to clean them of the blood beginning to dry on them. “Bull shit, for it to take your focus from Genesis, it must be important…” He was now thinking, a dangerous thing for Fenris to do. “You have to promise not to tell anyone until I’m ready.” I needed someone I could trust to discuss this with, I needed another wolf besides Sapphire to talk to about this. “Thanks a lot.” Sapphire grumbled. “You know what I mean.” I snapped at her in frustration. “Okay, interesting. What’s up Eva?” Fenris asked, leaning back against a wide tre
She killed him. I stood at the forests edge, having just arrived at what looked like a war scene between two different packs of wolves, when I saw her. She was standing before a human man, he was naked and dirty, but he was human; and she’d killed him. She had torn his head from his body. Lavender had always been so sweet to me, so calm. But this was something else, for once I saw her for what she was, a dangerous animal. I could not risk my life anymore being near her, I had to protect myself. Alexandria needed me; my trial patients needed me. As much as it hurt my heart to even consider hurting her, I stood at the rivers edge clasping my firearm in my hands, swearing that she would leave and not come back, or I would have no other choice. All too soon she was there, and after a deep, calming breath to help center my racing heart, I turned to face her, raising the gun in both hands, and aiming it for her. As nervo
Riding on the back of a wolf who was almost as large as I was had to be one of the most amazing experiences of my life, but the magic of what was happening was taken away by the fact that I held the most beautiful woman I had ever met in my arms, clinging to her for dear life, as she struggled to breath. In the distance a large brick and iron gate began to come into view, I thought that we would begin to slow down, find a gate through. Instead, Fenris sped up, when I realized his intentions, I ducked my head down, burying my face in his fur as I clung to him and Eva with all my might, trying like hell to make sure we didn’t slip off and straight onto the spikes at the top of said fence. I felt the moment he pushed off the ground, soaring through the air, I was to afraid to look, scared to see out death coming up to meet us before I had even had a chance to know the amazing woman in my arms, but instead of freefalling through the air, we
For what felt like days I sat there next to her, my hands wrapped around hers, begging her to open her eyes and just let me know she was okay; but it couldn’t have been more than a few hours. Lila had kicked us out of the room once Eva was stable, insisting we did not need to be present while her and another woman whose name I did not catch, cleaned her up and got her dressed. The thirty minutes they had kicked us out for had me on edge, I had this need to be with her, to be beside her. When the door finally opened and Lila said we could go back in, I raced to her side. Lila had cleaned he blood from Eva’s pale skin, braided her long hair to the side, and put her in a soft spaghetti strapped purple night dress, before slipping her under the heavy comforter they had also replaced with a none blood stained one. Laying on the bed beside her, I noticed after a while that they refused to leave me alone with her, someone else was always in the room, eyes train
“Wake up Eva, come on wild wolfy, you need to wake up now.” Wild wolfy? Only one person called me that, and he was dead. Of course, since I was surrounded by blackness, perhaps I had moved on to the next realm as well. “Get up Goldie locks, your mate is waiting on you to wake up. He needs you, Evangeline.” Goldie locks? Wild Wolfy? Where was I? Those voices sounded so familiar as well. Soft chuckling filled my mind from two distinct voices. I wanted to open my eyes and look for them, see the two men I had loved when I barely knew what love was. But I knew that if I opened my eyes, I wouldn’t see them, I’d be back in the real world, and though I wanted Valen as well, a few more minutes with my first loves wouldn’t hurt, right? “Galden? Neil? I don’t understand.” “We told you we’d always be with you.” Galden’s voi
Pulling the blanket tighter around my shivering body I tried to conserve as much of my own body heat within the fabric as possible. There was no way of telling time down here, with no windows I had no idea when it was day or night, so I hadn’t a clue how long I’d been in this freezing and desolate dungeon; and that was not an exaggeration, it was a dungeon. The ground was concrete, with floor to ceiling bars going into the rock ceiling and walls. Though unlike normal bars which would be darker and made of perhaps iron or steel, these bars appeared to be polished to perfection and silver in color. Though if this was where they kept enemies of their own kind and they were in fact weakened by silver, it made sense that these bars weren’t just painted silver, but in fact pure. Blake, the redhead healer, and his mate, Lila, the beautiful model, came down to see me four times, bringing hot food and blankets each time. I had enough blankets to
We sat there for hours just talking. Well, I asked questions and he talked. Valen told me about growing up as an only child with two loving parents, about graduating high school early and going to college and then med school. Finally, we broached the subject of his current life and he seemed to shut down a little, not as ecstatic to spill all the details. We were lying on the bed, propped on our elbows while we faced each other, close but not touching, as he told me about what he’d been working on lately. “Well, I’m currently working on a cancer trial, trying to create a drug that will cure a certain childhood cancer that currently has no viable treatment.” “That sounds interesting. Cancer is a sickness that kills a lot of humans, right?” I’d heard about it in TV shows but had never discussed it at link before. “Yes, it takes a lot of human lives, is it not a problem for werewolves?” Valen sat up a bit straighter,
Walking to the practice fields was awkward. I guess I was still a bit of a spectacle. The human in the werewolf world, mated to their fearless leader. I could see it in their eyes as I walked past, they didn’t think I was worthy of being here, much less of a higher rank. Keeping my head held high, I refused to show any weakness. As we neared a sign that signaled training field C, I looked among the warriors currently sparing, hoping for a glimpse of Eva. I saw her bright blonde hair flash in the sunlight before disappearing behind another body and made a line straight for her. Getting closer I realized the reason I hadn’t really seen her for more then a flash was because she was sparing. But her opponent was more than double her size. My heart stopped for a moment when he swung a large fist at her head, all I saw was a concussion and the considerable damage that would come from the man’s hammer of a fist ramming into her sku
After my talk with Blake, I wasn't feeling great about my original theory. I had to be careful with my questions, trying my best to make sure I didn't say anythingthatwould raise suspicions. In all, Blake didn't believethatwerewolves abilities could be replicated. Which meant I was back at square one.I needed to find Eva. My anger at her betrayal had not extinguished but I needed answer as to how my life was going to go now. When I'd be allowed to call and ask about Alexandria and find out how my patients were doing from Michele.There were to many uncertainties in my life right now.From Blakes clinic rooms, my guards and I made our way back down to the kitchens and dining hall, I didn't think I'd find Eva still there, but it wa
Slamming the door to my office I talked to my desk and grasped the edge trying to calm my anger, which was proving hard. "I had to do it." Sapphireargued through my mind, again. She had been apologizing since we'd been thrown from the room by our very angry mate. Our rightfully pissed the F-off mate. "Don't!" I yelled, digging my fingers into the desk until the wood gave way and crumbled in my hands. "Outof my head, now." I growled at my wolf, for the first time since Sapphire found me in that darkness, I wanted her gone. "Fine, but I did this for us, Eva. For us all. You, me, Valen, the pack. Our species."She whispered, disappearing from my consciousness immediately after. My wolf had destroyed the barest bit of trust I had managed to build with Valen. Set us back to the beginning, and I was not ready to forgive her at the moment. Tears of frustration pricked at the corners
Pain sliced through the pleasure pulsating through my body, though oddly the sensation melded into one, a pleasure sogreatit became painful. As I came down from my orgasm, I realized my shoulder painfully pulsating. When I pulled back something about Eva was different. Her eyes, they were glowing.I pushed away from her, shifting to my knees when I saw the small trickle of blood on her lip, sliding slowly down her chin. The set of her face was different as well, her brows drawn together, her lips pressed together, as if she were expecting an outburst and ready to take the heat without complaint. As if she knew she had done something wrong.The pain pulled my attention and raising a hand to shoulder I felt hot, sticky wetness pulling my fingers back I was surprised at the splash of color across them. I was bleeding, and if the blood
His hand slid between my thighs, finding my sensitive clit, and gently pinching it between his deft fingers before rubbing small, lazy circles around the bud. My body arched into his, soaking in the heat of his embrace.His lips brushed along my neck, trailing down, over my collar bone and along the slope of my breast. Valen made his way down my body, fanning the flames of my desire with every kiss and caress, until his lips were kissing the sensitive skin of my belly just above where his fingers worked to drive me higher.When his lips replaced his fingers, I nearly came off the bed, sparks of sensation feeling as if he’d taken an electrical current to my most sensitive parts. I wasn’t sure how long I laid there, my fingers dug into his hair, my hips bucking into his face as he lapped up every drop of honey my body produced.When my orgasm built, he refused to listen to my urgings for him to join me, instead
“Yes, I could use a little help I think.” Honestly, I was shocked the words came out so sure, I half expected to have to force my lips to move and form them.“I’m here with a little extra courage.” Sapphire piped in, almost causing me to chuckle.“Horny wolf.”“Always, especially for… all of that.” I knew by the way she purred she was referring to our very delicious looking mate.Valen stopped at the edge of the tub and grabbed a wash towel, before climbing in. The water rose, threatening to spill over the edge. A part of me wanted to raise my hands to cover my breasts, but between the bubbles and my hair I felt I was covered well enough. And really… did I want to be covered from his view? Isn’t naked with him exactly what I wanted?“Dunk your head under the water, I’ll he
Electricitywas sparkingthroughme, shooting from his fingertips into my blood stream. I half expectedhimtojump back, running from me ashealways did. I became determinedtoenjoy every bit ofhimthat he was willingtogive.Except, he didn't pullaway. His hands slid down, cupping my ass and pulling me up, instinctively my legswrappedaround his hips, my arms holding on tighttohis neck, graspinghim
When we were done questioning Genesis warrior, Alaric and I checked in on the big bad wolf himself, only to find him still knocked out from the silver and wolfsbane that was used to keep him sedated for the trip here. This worked for me though, I wanted to check on Valen. As I neared the door to my private rooms, I confronted the warriors standing guard at the door. “Did he give you any trouble?” I asked. The exchanged an odd look before shaking their head no in unison. “Not at all.” The one of the left said, followed closely by the one on the right. “He came with us to the safe room easily.” I felt that they were hiding something, but I wasn’t exceedingly worried about it at the moment and waved them away, telling them to get something to eat. My eyes scanned the room in panic when I found it empty, as I moved to call after he guards to come back and find him, I heard
When we reached the pack house Alaric, and I followed the guards carrying Genesis to the dungeons. We’d decided we would check in with Genesis’s scout while waiting for the big bad wolf himself to wake up. Walking into the dungeons was almost like walking into another world. It was dark and the smell of mildew assaulted your senses the moment you opened the door. As I stepped into the blackness at the entry to the bellow ground hell hole, I felt my heart skip a beat and my breathing pick up. Everything about it reminded me of that hole. Of my own personal prison for the vast majority of my life. Alaric was holding the door open and glanced back at me in confusion when I didn’t automatically step through. Leaning closer he lowered his voice, watching me curiously. “Alpha, is everything okay?” After taking a deep breath to help steady my racing heart I nodded and stepped into the dark. Alaric moved to turn on the swi
