Chase and I climb down the ladder to the fort below us. We lay down to play twenty one questions chase pulls me closer Im snuggled into the side i him. Chase takes a big inhale of my scent as I ask my first question I waste no time getting into the hard questions. “How do you know Annie and Leon” “Stay away from Annie as much as possible somethings off about her”I search his eyes for a hint of a lie but chase appears to be telling the truth.“Well how do you know her” “ I stumbled across them two years ago in the woods living in a broken down cottage they were hungry and dirty now I couldn’t careless about Annie I could sense the dark aura around her from the start but Leon needed to be pried from her clutches so I offered them a job that way I could keep an eye on Annie and roster them so Leon had as little time possible with her”“How do you own a cafe at your age” “Uh-uh-uh it’s my turn now you don’t get two questions in a row” He looks at me with a grin I can see the love he
One of alpha Charles guards walks into my cell he unzips the back of my dress I’m facing Chase I can see him struggling with another male putting his hands on me but I give him a look of confidence a silent understanding between us both knowing we can’t let in that we are mates or things could get a whole lot worse if we can be used against the other for alpha Charles gain. Alpha Charles pulls a lever on the outside of my cell which lowers the silver chains im placed in the silver chains while they are uncomfortable I’m not too effected by the silver as part of my training I built a resilience up to silver but I do not let that on. As soon as I’m hoisted up the man stands behind me with the whip while alpha Charles tells me I am to count out the lashings. I focus my gaze on alpha Charles with a smirk on my face. The whip it’s my back it can feel as the skin splits apart on impact it burns my back feeling as though it on fire I make sure to keep my head held high I will not give alph
I wake in the morning to the sound of bars clanging two guards are taking Marina out of my cell back to her cell next to mine. They also have a silver meal cart coming through the cells pushing trays through the gap in the cells solely for that purpose. To my surprise it’s a decent breakfast of bacon eggs and toast it all seems warm and fresh. I give the tray of food a big sniff this seems to good to be true but amazingly it’s just food no poison or anything else one might expect. “Eat up child you will need your strength” “I can’t say I was expecting a decent meal”“Ohh everyone down here gets fed well half of them down here are used as blood bags and require nutrients or they may die while unwittingly giving blood” “Thanks Marina I have lost my appetite. What a sick sad man” “Bat shit crazy more like it” comes a man’s voice across the cells.Chase let’s out a thunderous growl to which the man laughs.“Chase you should know better if alpha Charles gets wind of your possessive beh
The minds cogs were turning a million questions running through my mind. Marina is a vampire and alpha Charles is a wolf that would make Chase the first hybrid in centuries it would also explain why his eyes would glow the unusual red it was the vampire in him not a demon possession as people had wrongly thought. It would also explain the speed of chase he was fast even by werewolf standards. “So chase is the first hybrid in centuries is that another reason you are kept in the cells” “Partly no one knows who alpha Charles or chases mother is most presume she was an omega who died during childbirth outside of the pack of course” Chase scoffs at his mothers words I can feel through the bond how agitated and uncomfortable he is right now.“We don’t have to have this conversation Chase I’m sorry I just want to try to understand you understand what you have been through”“If you want to know what I’ve been through princess just ask. It would not be much better than the rumours that trav
Alpha Charles guards sniggered at his command I knew this was not going to be any good. I also know I must keep my abilities a secret if I’m going to be tortured I must keep my emotions in check. One of the guards walked in and cuffed me to the hoist I was hung by the cuffs so my feet were unable to touch the floor by then the other guard pushed the trolley in with clamps, pliers, knives, hatchets, cigar cutters, hammers you name it it was on the damn trolley. I would be lying to myself if I said I wasn’t scared because at this moment I felt the most vulnerable I had in my life. I could not stomach looking at Chase one look at him I’m sure I would lose the strength I had mustered up. Alpha Charles starts in lightly with a full force punch to my stomach while looking at chase.“Do you still want to define my orders boy”Chase remains silent I keep my head held high I will not give him the satisfaction of seeing me break alpha Charles then round house kicks me to the same spot on my sto
My legs are like jelly being hoisted in the air by my arms so long it’s hard to stand back on my legs. Marina rushes to my aid as she power walks over to the shower turning it on and adjusting the temperature before making her way over to me. Marina lifts me up and wraps one of my arms around her shoulder and carry’s me over to the shower the weirdo asks he can watch me shower which earns him a warning growl from chase. “ keep talking to her like that and I will rip your tongue out and force you to eat it the first chance I get” “Whoa aren’t you just a ray of fucking sunshine” The newbie pulls a cigarette from behind his ear and asks if anyone has a lighter. I block out anything said after that focusing on Marina who is now removing my clothes to give my wounds a wash now that I’m out of the silver cuffs I’m healing a lot faster the pain is still very much present but a lot more tolerable so to speak. She grabs some clothes and a towel dries me off and changes me and carry’s me ove
I hear the sound of a large number of people running down the corridors I look to Conrad who now has a black aura surrounding him I can feel the seer strength it’s omitting. I think back to my studies and suddenly realise an incubus is no ordinary demon it feeds and gains it’s strength through sex and syphoning a persons energy or essence! I can see how woman and men alike are finding his aura hard to manage I can smell the arousal of many. I turn to Marina who appears to be sweating and panting even chase is struggling to resist Conrad i how ever seem to be immune to his aura and advances i am not drawn to him like a moth to the flame like the others. Conrad also senses his lack of effect on me and faces me his eyes are black and empty he cocks his head to the side while studying me. “What are you? No one has ever been able to resist my charm” “A werewolf now drop your aura before you too get punished” Conrad let’s out a sinister laugh.“Oh baby girl I mix pleasure and pain that’s
Few guards made their way down the prison halls before coming to a halt down our corridor I could see the head warrior was clearly mindlinking someone while the other warriors assessed the situation and for any further threats. This was not going to be good for any of us how do we explain this situation. A warrior stands in front of my cell, Conrad’s, marinas also the three cells across from us which included chases cell and both of either side which were currently empty. The guards enter the two empty cells and do a quick search before coming up empty they then move to chases cell searching it again empty of anything that my indicate what has happened to the two dead warriors. The warriors stand outside my cell sizing me up this isn’t going to end well. They all rush into my cell and make a mess pushing the bookcase over throwing the bedding and mattress off the base I try to keep myself as still as I can I do not want to aggravate anyone. The head warrior punches me in the mouth my
Leaving Delilah and Leon behind to work through their problems chase and I make our way back to our room. We walk hand in hand in a comfortable silence chase keeps stealing glance at me until I stop and turn to face him. “Spill it I can sense your anxiety through the bond” Chase closes the distance between us and takes me in his arms burrowing his face into my neck and inhaling my scent as he mumbles“Today helping Leon process everything it made me realise that I never want to lose you through differences I want you by my side even on the hardest of days and I would never leave you on your hard days promise me we will get through everything together and I will cut ties with my pack to allow you to go through the alpha initiation and take your rightful place” I look deep into his eyes for any hint of doubt but find nothing but confidence in his words.“I don’t want to deny you your rightful place as alpha of the obsidian pack so I propose we both take the title of alpha in my pack
Delilah ~Leon was in a fit of rage the energy he is emitting is so powerful if I weren’t Leon’s intertwined I’m sure I would have passed out five minutes ago. “You knew Delilah and you didn’t think to tell me. Some intertwined you are if you can keep such a big thing from me what else could you hide from me? Do you have anymore skeletons in your closet because now is the time to lay everything on the table I don’t know if I could handle anymore deception from you” “Leon please calm down. I had your best interests at heart I only wanted to protect you from the truth until the time was right we weren’t doing it with malice” “I’m half fucking demon Delilah half demon I’m a monster” Leon dropped to his knees on the floor in his desperate vulnerable state i cautiously walk to his side rubbing circles on his back and softly whisper.“You’re no monster Leon far from it you may be demon by blood but you are pure of heart. I’m sorry I did not tell you sooner I however don’t regret my deci
After we question leon further to see if we can get any information he may not have recollected or deemed important chase, Conrad, Delilah and I look between each other I give Delilah a look and the witch bitch understands my unspoken question shaking her head and looking down I know she is not the one who wants to break Leon’s lineage to him. I give chases hand a squeeze under the table confirming he is the one to break it to leon. Chase clears his throat and looks at leon I can tell this is hard for him after all he was the one who smuggled Nikki and Leon out of the cells in the obsidian pack and gave them a new life. “I have something to tell you leon and it’s not going to be easy for me to say I want you to know you are a good friend and what I’m going to say may not be easy to hear but I done at the time what I thought was in your best interest and it’s time I speak your truth you deserve to know who you are”Leon cocks his head to the side clearly unsure about what chase is say
Chase and I make our way down to the coven and stop abruptly when we see a group of coven members preforming a protection spell around Delilah and Leon’s cottage we both know better than to interrupt the ritual so we take a few steps back so not to interrupt the energy field they are using. It’s not long before Marisha and Conrad come walking over hand in hand. “What in the hocus pocus is going on here” Marisha visibly rolls her eyes.“You are so uncultured for a supernatural species with having a close alliance with dark mages you are clueless” “Excuse me for not being an expert on ouija boards. Is anyone going to answer my question what the fuck is that shit it looks hectic” “A protection spell. It creates a barrier dark forces or anyone wishing ill can not penetrate the spell preformed by some of the countries strongest witches and wizards nothing could get past their threshold” “Challenge accepted” Marisha slaps Conrad in the chest while shaking her head. Conrad gives her a
I open my eyes and I’m surrounded by darkness I’m floating on the nothingness that surrounds me I can feel the cold on my skin and nothing else. As I start to feel the desperate whispers of what I can only assume are tortured souls the darkness eloping me drowning me in the pit of others despairs I feel it crawling on my skin. In the distance I can see a speck of a bright white light as if a beckon it’s warmth calls to me I don’t know how I know but I know I must reach the light or succumb to the dark void I feel surrounding me. I start to drift in the direction of the bright light but it seems forever out of my reach. I frantically start to swim in the nothingness desperate to reach the warm embrace of the light. I finally find my way to the light when an ethereal aura appears swirling through the light a golden aura swirling through the light I can feel a presence with in the golden hue but no embodiment appears. “Faith both you and chase have finally completed your destined bond b
We are all back in my office now including Marisha and Conrad I guess they are now very much apart of the inner circle. Everyone is seated around my rectangular mahogany desk waiting for the kitchen staff to bring up some snacks so we can get started. One of the kitchen staff bring in a silver trolley full of assorted sandwiches, fruits, nuts, petite desserts bottles of water and cans of soda she lays it out on the table. Conrad reaches over and takes a sandwich shovelling it into his mouth he reaches for another when Marisha slaps his hand and reminds him about table manners. Chase rolls his eyes at this gesture. “His a bloody demon he knows nothing about table manners let the man eat” Conrad sends a wink chases way and it gives me a brilliant idea. So far we have decided Destin alone will be my beta and we will hold trials for the gamma position who ever wins will take the gamma title. Delilah has stated her coven have all agreed they no longer want to rebuild their old coven and h
Now that everyone is here I turn to Karla she is surprised she was the first one I turned to in a pack crisis I guess she thought I invited her along to the meeting because of Destin. “Karla you have more of an understanding of chase then anyone here. How would you see him taking on the role of alpha to both packs”“Thats something you and chase need to discuss faith have you seriously called us all here to help you convince your mate to do as you wish?”“You have me all wrong Karla. Yes I do need some assistance from my beta because this while it involves my mate is a pack matter and I’m not a dictator and thought your input would be highly valuable and well I never do much with out Delilah now Leon too and I just so happened to bump in Marisha and Conrad no offence guys you are welcome here on the contrary. Yes it is between chase and I but it also involves our pack and I value your opinion Karla you know him better than I do I want to meet him half way”“Maybe you should be having
I appreciate my father and everyone who came here to explain what has happened to chase but I do not wish to be standing outside chases room I want to be by his side. I let everyone know I will be going back to chases side and will call a meeting with the vampire elders myself and chase when he wakes and is in good health to do so. Surprisingly everyone is so understanding and gives their well wishes to chase. I walk into the room and study his features as he lays there in a deep sleep. I step towards the bed and notice chases scent has slightly changed and I feel the pull to him tenfold. I lift the covers and slide into the bed next to him curling into chase while intertwining our hands. I don’t know when but I drift off into a peaceful sleep. I do not know where I am but it’s complete chaos there’s dead bodies littering the ground of all species the skies are dark grey and alpha Charles stands in front of me with a victorious grin. I look around my surroundings for any clue as to w
“You should know princess since I’ve accepted my fate as the child of light I have increased strength and powers and I do not plan to show your lover boy any form of mercy just so you know” Colton mindlinks looking directly at me and smirks at me with a shit eating grin. “So be it Colton I have believe in my MATE and I’m sure he can handle himself against you may the best man win”“Mate? I don’t see a mark on either of your necks but once I’ve finished him off I’m sure I could put one on your neck for you” I don’t know what it was about Colton’s words that had an ominous feeling rush through me. Like there was some hidden message within his words. I know chase can handle himself but I plan to hang around closely something is not sitting right with me and my intuition is always dead on. Both Colton and chase take their stances the gamma calls for a clean fair fight may the best win. Chase puts his hand out to Colton in good gestures before they fight but Colton refuses to shake his
