Renee’s POV I was almost asleep in my room when I heard Amber's voice ring out downstairs. "Why are you here? What is the meaning of this? Answer me!!" She sounded startled and was almost pleading for answers. I heard several people coming up the stairs."What's happening?" I link Amber startled "The Elder Council, they say they are here for you." She cries in my head "Get out, they are coming" I tried to move quickly out the window. But I still wasn't fully healed, and they were too fast. I no sooner got to the window and got it open when three men barged into my room and shot something into my back. I cried out whimpering. I tried to link Ethan, then Amber but nothing would go out. What the hell was that. Why did the Elder Council want me? My head started to spin and before I knew it, I felt my body slumping weak into the floor. I saw the men coming forward to take me. I couldn't hardly move."Ethan, I want to see Ethan" the words barely left my lips, but the men paid them no
Ethan's POV With everyone having taken part in the blood pact their lips were now sealed unless I gave my permission to speak of these secrets. I turn my eye back to Bill waiting for the additional information. He senses my stare and takes the hint. "The Vander’s were said to be some of the last vampire Hybrids." He says cautiously, not sure how I will process this information. Vampire hybrids, we had all heard of, but they were basically extinct. The only way to make one would be for an almost pure vampire and werewolf to mate. Something like that hasn't happened in a very long time. They say the hybrids don't dilute though and it's said the gifts don't weaken either when passed down the line. The males that inherited the genes would never receive any gifts it would lie dormant in their systems but females on the other hand could possibly have additional powers. "All hybrids will have superior speed, healing ability, and strength." Bill continued "If females have additional gif
Renee's POVTo my surprise Joey pulled his own wrist to his mouth and bites it. Then offers it to me. I pull back from it, only for him to force it to my mouth. "You will pledge your life to me" he says through gritted teeth.No way in hell am I pledging my life to this jerk. I sling my body back; Joey doesn't break his hold as I cause us to fall over. My back is now pressed to the bottom of the seat and Joey is half laying on top of me with his wrist still pushed to my mouth. "If you wanted to get more comfortable, you just had to ask" he laughs as he rakes his eyes over my body. My face was wrinkled in anger, I tried to turn my head away from his wrist. But he was holding my head with his other hand. I could feel his nasty blood trickling past my lips no matter how much I tried to seal them closed. The blood started filling my mouth as I refused to swallow it. He finally pulled his wrist back away from my mouth and looked at me expectantly, I imagine he was waiting for me to say
Alpha Ethan (POV)"Are we ever going to get there?" I whined from the passenger seat like a child. Amber and Jonathan decided that since I wasn't in the best emotional state, Jonathan should drive. "I didn't know you were going to drive like a grandma!" I growl at Jonathan "I should have never let you drive." He didn’t respond in any way, just kept his eyes on the road. I couldn’t really blame him though; I was acting like a bratty child and even though I knew that I couldn't help myself either. If I tried to be quiet and patient thoughts of Renee would invade my mind. Which just made me want to get to her even more. It was now close to nine o’ clock and the sun was dipping down. "You do realize we can't go in tonight, right?" Amber voice rings through the car. "Yes, you have already made it abundantly clear." I huff Apparently, at night alarm systems were put into place in the pack house that would make it impossible to get through undetected. Plus, you were more likely to ru
Renee's POV I awoke on the floor of the cell. It was now dark outside as there was no light coming through the small, barred windows of the basement. "Ugh" I groaned my whole body hurt, and my face felt smushed from laying on it. My hand went to the back of my head I could feel the dried blood in my hair but at least it felt like my head wound had closed. I peeled my face of the floor where it had been stuck in congealed blood. Then I pushed my body off the floor until I was in a sitting position. The lights were still on in the basement, and I could see a total of five cells, but all the other ones were empty. The change of position caused my head to start spinning. I brought my hands to either side of my head holding it up hoping to stop the dizzy spell. On the plus side the silver handcuffs were no longer on my wrists, I guess they removed them while I was unconscious. "Yes, I have her here." I hear Joey's voice echo from the hall outside of the cell room. I crawl closer to try
Renee’s (POV)I decided to try to drive it home that we were NEVER going to happen. "You know I really don't think I'm going to develop Stockholm syndrome, so I don't know why you are smiling like that." I said through gritted teeth. "Do you have any idea what all I have done for you!" He yells back"No! Because I don't really count kidnapping and imprisoning me as doing something for me!" I yell back. "You have no idea! I have been talking with council members long before you even left to figure out how to get rid of the mate mark. Then you had to interrupt my plans by running away from me, and I'll have you know that broke my heart!" He yelled back then continued while he started pacing in front of me. "Then a few days after you left, I finally found the answer. The Elder Council can remove a chosen mate mark if the other mate has committed a bad enough crime." My eyes widened at where this was going. He was truly insane. "So, I was planning to frame Kristi." He starts laughing
Alpha Ethan (POV)Having Renee's shirt did help calm me down. I held it close to my face and eventually drifted off into a restless sleep. I didn't last long before I was awake tossing and turning again, but then I would eventually drift off again for a little bit. Finally, I woke up and saw the first few streams of daylight, I quickly got out of the car and surveyed the area around me. Amber was at the hood of the car with a map laid out examining it. I didn't see Jonathan anywhere. "Morning" Amber said without lifting her head. "Where is Jonathan?" I asked surprised he wasn’t here. "Scouting" Amber replied "I was planning to scout?" I growl"He thought it would be best if he went, leveler head and all." She stated still not bothering to raise her head. "You know, I know I am emotionally involved but that doesn't mean I don't still have sense, or I would have attacked the council when they came. Both you and Jonathan have seemed to forget who the Alpha is!" I growl Amber imme
Renee's POV It was so great to hear Ethan's voice again. It gave me strength; I started to feel ready for a fight. A Magical barrier? I knew a little bit about them, but they weren't used very often now, since most witches tried to stay neutral away from werewolf business. Amber was always much more interested in magic, I needed to talk to her."Oh, I won't" Ethan replied, his voice like silkI reluctantly broke the link and sent one to Amber. "Amber?""Oh my gosh! Renee are you ok?" Her voice comes through my head excited yet also scared. "As good as I can be in this situation." I replied softly before making my voice more commanding time was of the essence. I didn't know when Joey would be back with the food. "I'm sorry, I am short on time, magical barriers what happens if I try to leave without permission?" "Oh, uh It depends on how it's set up. You should be able to leave, they can only fully block from one direction. Although it could make you very ill, if you aren't suppose
