2024-10-29 19:42:56Cole got up, naked as the day he was born and went to peer out through the window. His side window had a view of the side of the building but the one by his bed overviewed the front of the mansion. He saw his father’s men firing shots into the woods surrounding the house and the sight of a body sailing through the air to land on the side lawn made him jerk his face in that direction. The man stayed down and didn't get up. Cole thought perhaps a shotgun had been used on the guy at close range. That was the only logical thing he could think of. Otherwise, what or who could be that strong to toss a grown-ass man that far?
He left the window and hurried to the closet. Isabelle had found one of his old pullover hoodies with sweatpants. He loved that it looked smart on her. That would make it easier to run in. Speaking of running, he lowered his gaze to her legs and saw she was barefooted. He cursed.

Isabelle rushed to the end of the hall and hugged her back to the sidewall under the camera. Cole pinched the button between his thumb, raised his gun, and marched out, noting the red light blinking. When he got to the end of the hallway he marched out to peer down the one that led to the double staircase that descended to the foyer. He saw two guards manning the entrance. They had their backs to the staircase, busy firing shots outside. Cole darted back to hug his back to the wall, pressed the camera jammer, and fired a shot at the camera covering the hallway and foyer. “Stay behind me,” he said. Isabelle hugged him from behind and together they moved down the hallway, descending the stairs without any of the men looking back. Cole murmured to Isabelle to run to the back of the house and she did so hurriedly her socks clad feet light on the marbl

“No!” a loud feminine cry sounded from somewhere to his left, then a growl and another creature lunged at the one ready to deliver the killing blow. Pushing him away from Cole. The creature's claw swept down, tearing flesh from his shoulder to his massive chest, missing his neck as he had evidently intended. Cole panted as excruciating pain rented through his big frame. It was almost like getting shot all over again. He took quick breaths, trying to contain the pain. while his eyes watched the two creatures wrestling on the floor.“It’s Belle!” someone shouted. The tumbling bodies stopped and Cole saw the same colored wolf Isabelle had shapeshifted into to show him what she was. Only this time she was not on all fours - not a mere wolf, but a half-beast half-woman, standing on hind legs, tall and about 250 pounds of all muscle and sinew. Her white fur was pure as the col

The laughter died in their faces and the four men got out to fish Cole out. Isabelle swallowed when Hallec cursed and started to perform chest compressions on Cole to let water out of his lungs. It took a while before he exhaled loudly and started to cough the water out. Isabelle let out a shaky breath. She felt her brother's eyes on her and she raised hers to meet his gaze. A deep frown furrowed his brows and he took a glance at Cole and then reverted his gaze. Isabelle glared at him in her bid to hide her fear and frustration. She could tell her brother was suspicious of her actions."Where do you intend to keep him? Why don't we kill him and get it over with? You realize we have to feed him right? We don't have enough for everyone least of all him," Xavier said."Let me worry about that. He is my prisoner, my slave. And he is staying in my room,”

Once inside the cave that had been their home for close to a decade now, Isabelle watched helplessly from the corner of her eye as Xavier had Cole dragged up the stone stairs while the rest of the pack members surrounded her to welcome her. She forced a smile and tried to act as if all was well in the world when all she wanted to do was run after her brother to make sure he didn't hurt Cole more than he had already. She remembered all he had gone through for the past hours, getting kicked, hit, and knocked out not to mention the claw gashes on his pectoral. She clenched her jaw, nodding automatically to sympathetic words coming at her in almost all directions. Her closest friends Tiana and Opaline, rushed through the crowd to come and draw her into a tight embrace. The gesture coupled with the raging emotions inside her made her eyes smart with tears.

Isabelle turned around knowing the last thing Lorelei needed from her right then was a rescue. Her panting and quiet moaning was an indication. She did feel her twin’s pain though and hated that he was hurting. The pain was so profound it was almost physical. She rubbed her chest. Does it mean he has strong feelings for Lorelei? The other lady had always flirted with Beowulf although Isabelle never thought Lorelei would actually sleep with the man. But then Xavier never acted as if it bothered him. He always looked bored and emotionally detached. Was that a mask then? Or was it a ploy to keep their relationship a secret? But why? If he had come out and claimed her, no one in the pack wo

A gasp escaped her lips when Cole forcefully turned her around and lifted her up - tangled in chains and all. He pressed her back to the wall, nudged and settled between her legs, cupped her ass, and rammed into her again. Isabelle bit down on her lower lip to keep from moaning aloud. Her body arched, blending against his and he cupped her by the nape of her neck and covered her lips with his mouth. Cole drove into her feeling starved of her. Her scent, her soft cries, and the feel of his thick cock buried in her wet, tight pussy drove him bonkers. "I want to hear you scream my name," he breathed close to her ear, feeling out of his mind. "Not here,” she replied with a shaky breath, putting her mouth close to his ear, and suckled on his earlobe. Cole grunted. "Maybe in that hotel… where you planned to take me to? When you get me alone, with just t

Cole folded his knees and pulled his legs up just watching her lie there. He dragged his hands over his hair, roughening the already combed hair. Isabelle had tended to him in a way that mellowed him, making him feel cherished and like she was his to do as he pleased. She had even combed his hair, and he smiled. The last time he recalled anyone doing that for him was before his mother was killed. He also can not imagine any human woman doing that especially when he was not incapacitated. Although the chains would have made it a little difficult, but not impossible. He remembered how intense she had been, the concentration on her face and her insistence on patching him up. He had meant to scare her when he held her neck and found even then her concern had been for him. She called her death an escape. The comment had made a protective surge rush through him. The growing need to protect and make sure she lacked nothing welled up inside him bu

Isabelle opened her eyes at the sound of a loud snarl. The sight before her almost made her heart stop. She didn't have the time to think or pause as she jerked up, sprang into the air, and tackled the massive form heading for Cole. She landed atop a bundle of fur and their eyes met. Beowulf tried to push her off but she didn't let him. His black eyes were glassy, and darker than normal as if he had gone feral. He managed to push her off his body and rose to his feet. Isabelle pulled her door open, shape-shifted into a werewolf, and pounced in front of Cole, blocking him from Beowulf and at the same time shoving Cole backward against the wall. An act that awarded her a sharp stab in the flank as Beowulf dug his claws into her fur, and swiped hard. Isabelle growled.“Isabelle!” Cole cried in alarm. He had seen the black-furred werewolf slash at her side with his deadly claws, and he pulled

“No!” Rufus yelled, Cole turned to him and smash the butt of his gun against his head, causing his forehead to bleed. “You fucking injected my woman with wolfbane, and dared to try and kill Aaron!” “You bastard! You killed my son!” Rufus cried loudly in evident anguish. It was clear he had lost his mind. “Oh, I intend to off all your fucking sons! You idiot!” “That’s a shame—” a voice sounded from the doorway. Cole looked in the direction and saw a man that looked like Rufus holding Opaline by the throat, and when Isabelle startled forward, he brandished a gun at her. Isabelle stopped. “If any of you animals move, I will drop this and we will all die...” the newcomer said, using the barrel of his gun to tap on a grenade he held against Opaline’s throat — the very type Ash used a few minutes before, everyone stepped back except Isabelle. “Hello, Cole Miller, your father was an arrogant asshole, but I still liked him, I was looking forward to meeting you. The way he talked about yo

“Oh, hell, no! Not on my watch!” Cole muttered and ran to the open space, ignoring the fact that he was left defenceless, trusting Jason and Ash to cover him. Isabelle gaped at him, watching as he opened fire on the guards by the doorway. Isabelle watched in frozen horror as two bullets hit him on the chest, and another on the shoulder, Cole only grunted hard but pressed forward. He didn’t stop until there were no more guards still left standing by the doorway. “Is this guy on drugs?!” one of the Weres asked with disquiet. “He is fucking insane!” another interjected. “Yes, he is,” Jason said with an admiration that made Isabelle smack him on the shoulder. “Sorry,” he said in a whispered plea, and then added, “but only the insanity part. I wouldn’t have him any other way!” He smirked and pushed away from safety to join in. Ash and his men joined him. A new wave of guards came out from the house and the other side of the woods, brandishing automatic guns at Cole and the rest o

Angel let go of the man and offered him the water. He snatched the bottle and gulped down the water, then he eyed Angel before he took the steak and gorged it down his throat. Isabelle passed another bottle of water to Angel and the other Were directed his gaze passed Angel to settle on her. The pain that cloud his eyes at the sight of her made her swallow. “They killed her... raped her to death...” he growled and then whimpered in obvious pain, curling up on the floor. Angel grabbed him by the shoulders and snarled “And if you don’t get your shit together, you will never be able to avenge her! Get a hold of yourself, Wolfe, or this will be it for you! I don’t fucking have all night!” Angel said, barring his teeth. The other wolf nodded and fought to contain his emotions. Angel then offered him a change of clothes, and he accepted it. Isabelle and the other ladies moved back to allow the rescued Weres to change, and then one of the Were asked, “Why does this human smell like

Cole signalled to Ash to wait with his team, beckoned Jason, mind linked with Isabelle to follow him then asked Xavier to mind link with Hallec, Darrow, Wulfrun, Opaline, and Tiana to come with them. The chosen Weres followed Angel closely, heading into the side woods to a secluded area about 5 minutes walk from the house, but it only took the Weres three. Angel brought them to a clearing in the woods and Cole could see a large iron grate-like shield, spanning about five meters of the grounds. Angel climbed atop it, looking down into the hole. Xavier went to join him, and Cole and Jason followed. Looking down through the iron bars, Cole could see an iron ladder leading down into a pit and the stench was killing. “Heavens! This is where they are?!” Xavier asked with gritted teeth, his anger was evident

The following morning Cole and Xavier asked to speak with Ash privately, and shortly after the other man peered into the study before entering. Xavier was standing by the window and Cole was by the liquor cabinet. “Thanks for honouring our call Ash—” Cole said and almost bit his tongue for the nonsense. It was quite obvious he wasn’t comfortable speaking with another man about his choice of a partner. Heck! If it weren’t for the impending mission he would have let whatever the two were playing at work itself out. What’s the point of living if you have to keep it safe all the time? A deep frown formed a groove in between his eyebrows. It was plain he would not be a perfect person to discuss the topic of ‘the birds and bees’ when the time comes. He evidently sucks at it. He doubted Isabelle would approve of him telling their kids to explore as much as they want. He wasn’t a parent yet and that scenario had him imaging an angel giving him a disapproving glare. He shook his head as if th

A gentle tap on the door woke Cole up and his eyes automatically went to the wall clock. He sighed. He had fallen asleep curled up with Isabelle in front of the fireplace on the duvet he had dragged from the bed. Lying there and chatting with her about their future felt right. It felt beautiful and now he just needed to go and secure that future for all of them. He disengaged from her and she turned her face to hold his gaze “Xavier needs me...” Cole said, lowering his head to plant a kiss on her lips. “Okay,” she said. Cole got up and quickly threw some clothes on before leaving the room when he got downstairs all the Weres were there including Ash. Cole sighed. He figured if Tiana hadn’t told Ash yet who she was he would have to be the one to do it or speak to Xavier about it. The last thing he needed was a surprised lover, freaking out at the wrong time and messing up their mission. He nodded a greeting to everyone and walked in the direction of Alexander’s office he had

She walked to the bathroom door that was at a corner of the opposite wall to the door she came in through, and slowly pushed it open, leaving it just slightly open. Cole was under the shower and his entire body was lathered and on display. Isabelle’s heart shook. He stood under the shower with his hands pressed to the wall as the water washed off the soap slowly on his body. Isabelle allowed her eyes to follow the flow down his deliciously sexy body. It reminded her of the time back at his cabin when he had washed her body and made her wash his too. “Touch me...” his raspy voice echoed in her head, and she leaned against the door frame watching him as her body flamed up for him. Cole heard the adjoining door open and knew she was coming before she got to the bathroom door. He could feel her gaze on him and could smell her excitement. The thought and the scent of her, mingled with her arousal affected his body in an unbelievable way. It was as if he could feel exactly what she was f

“Belle?” Xavier called, causing her to snap out of her musings. She realised everyone had sat down and she was the only one standing by the open French door like some social recluse. She flashed a smile that she hoped didn’t appear as a grimace and went to take the seat next to Xavier and Amèlie. The others started to eat, and low murmuring filled the room. They were all so aware of the male servants, standing by, and close to the side walls, evidently there to wait on them, but that didn’t make it less awkward. When she continued to sit still without reaching out to eat, Xavier gave her a gentle nudge with his leg, and she winced delicately, before reaching for her food. They were first served with an appetizer and Isabelle slowly tasted the chicken soup before she started to eat. They were on the main course dish when Cole entered the room. Two male servants quickly went to serve his appetizer, placing it by the head of the table. “I am sorry. I have been quite a terrible host.

With chest heaving, she breathed through parted lips returning his scrutiny. Cole took the seat beside her. Reaching for her hand, he held it firmly in his and then leaned into her and took her lips in a searing kiss. Isabelle gasped, confused by his actions, but he didn’t stop. The taste of whiskey on his tongue mixed with coffee coupled with the effect of his drugging kiss made her gradually lose herself in the kiss and it wasn’t long before she completely forgot why she was scared and where she was.When he finally let go for her to breathe, her eyes searched his smouldering ones before darting to the open window shield behind him. She found then that they were airborne, and the plane had stabilised. She swallowed. “I’m sorry, I haven’t—” she said. Cole raised his hand to brush a knuckle against her cheek. “Don’t do that… Don’t apologise to me. I'm sorry, I should have realised, and come sooner,” he replied and the tears she had been fighting to hold back spilt down her face. ‘
