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,
I was out of the bed in a flash, moving for my closet and dragging comfortable clothes from the drawers, grey cotton sweatpants and a white tank top along with soft cotton slip on shoes. I was wrapping my hair around itself at the nape of my neck and securing it with a hair tie when I walked out, Alaric and Valen were glaring at one another, but no words were being spoken. As I padded quickly back into the room both men turned to look at me, Alaric nodded his head and turned to exit the room, leaving the door open behind him, knowing I would be following closely behind.. Valen moved forward, blocking my path with his larger body, his adorably mismatched eyes wide with confusion. “Where are you going? Who is Genesis?” “I don’t have time to explain this now, but I will when I get back okay? Just stay here and listen to your guards, I need to know you are safe or I won’t be able to focus on the fight.” Pushing up onto my tiptoes I brushed m
“I see you learned my identity; you always were a smart girl.” Stepping closer to the brick and steel wall, Genesis crossed his arms over his chest and raked his eyes over me, the action made my stomach flip in disgust. “Though I guess you aren’t a girl anymore, even if you didn’t grow very tall, and you are very pale, don’t you train outdoors?” “I think I have you to thank for both of those things, Uncle. After all, fifteen years in a hole in the ground allows for a not-so-great diet and no sun.” I knew this was a reach, we had no proof Genesis had thrown me in my prison, but I wanted to know. I needed him to admit it. “You can’t still be mad about that, after all, look who you’ve become! I did that for you.” His dark blue eyes bore into mine, and I could see the crazy there, he believed everything he said. “I wasn’t this person until after my mother and father found me, taught me, trained me. I was a weak, scared
Shots rang out through the air as the snipers attempted to inject liquid silver bullets into Genesis, an attempt to slow him down and give us a higher chance of capturing him without any more fatalities on our side. My body slammed into his with a force hard enough that the sound of the impact vibrated through the trees around us. Sliding back along the forest floor Genesis and I slashed and bit at each other in an attempt to get the upper hand, the first drops of blood to hit the leaves was my own, but his soon joined it. “You think you stand a chance, child?” Laughed my uncles voice through my mind as we broke apart and began to circle one another. Apparently, it didn’t matter that he was no longer a part of the pack, our family link was still intact, similar with Alaric and me. “I’ve trained my entire life to lead Amethyst Mists army, you have no idea what you are up against.” “And you have
“I’m going now, my people need me, and I need you to do as I asked. I love you Valentine Cross.” Just like that she was gone, walked out the door. A young woman was commanding me, she was almost ten years younger than me, someone who still couldn’t even buy her own alcohol. Everyone here listened to her, she truly led these people, how had such responsibility landed on such young shoulders? Wait, had she just said she love me? How was that possible? She’d just met me, there was no way she already felt so strongly… was there? Everything here was so backwards and confusing. I was a full-grown man, a doctor, a father, and yet I felt like a teenager floundering in the rough water of high school all over again. I needed to get my bearings back and my feet planted firmly on the ground. Or I needed to get out. I needed to get out of here, fast. Before she returned if possible. When she was around, I found it hard to force
“So that’s Genesis.” A whispered voice surprised me from behind, spinning round I came face to face with two face I’d come to know better than the others in the house. “Blake, Lila, I’m glad to see a few friendly faces here.” Blake smiled softly back at me, while Lila eyed me cautiously, she still wasn’t sure what to think of me, and I couldn’t blame her. I’d almost killed her sister after all. “He doesn’t look like a psychopath.” Lila observed, her gaze flickering back to the monitors, scooting just a little closer to Blake, who’s arm was currently around he hip, holding her tight. “They never do.” Blake responded quietly as he looked me up and down. “Did you get in a fight?” “With a door.” I chuckled in answer, hearing a relieved breath from back towards the door, there was no way I was throwing the guard under the bus for an accident, I needed these people to like me. I need
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
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
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
