Chapter 8When we reached the bottom floor, this dungeon didn’t smell like most. There was always the smell of blood, vomit and emptied bowels where the prisoners were tortured for information; but this dungeon was like club freaking Med. I looked at Tina and Ron and we just shook our heads, it actually smelled like air fresheners and cleaning products. I rubbed my temples and mindlinked the team, “This is some bullshit. I could vacation here.” I said shaking my head.The guards down there were playing cards, not at attention and not even facing the cell she was in to monitor any movements. There was actually a fucking window in the cell, and it was cracked to let in fresh air. I was through. I took mental notes as I was going to tear him a new ass later. What kind of Tom foolery was this?“Justin, Toby, at ease. Open Amy’s cell we need to see her.” At ease?! Are you fucking kidding me!? They were at ease alright. They got up and opened the cell and we walked in, and Amy was sitting on
Chapter 9Gael returned to the packhouse not wanting to admit that he was sore all over. He’d worked out all of his life, but he’s never been this sore from a ten-minute workout with Phoenix. He kept reminiscing how she moved with such grace and poise. She even had her eyes closed the whole time. When Randall stepped up to help him throw her off, the way she ran into him and knocked him on his ass was astounding. As he was almost at his office, he heard noises coming from inside. He stopped and instantly anger filled him. Who had the audacity to be in the Alpha’s office without permission? As he felt his wolf about to surface he opened the door, that was slightly ajar, and what he saw almost made him pass out.His father had his mother bent over his desk giving her the absolute business. Her face was concentrated in ecstasy and his father looked as if his life depended on ramming her as hard as he could. Gael couldn’t speak he just heaved, slammed the door and sprinted down the hall.
Chapter 10I sat down in the bathtub filled with hot water and lavender and moaned as it covered my body in relaxing warmth. I could never have a relaxing moment without my subconscious drifting back to some damn trauma in my life. I never told anyone what happened to me in the Phantom Woods because I wasn’t sure of it myself.Flashback“All you have to do is let me in.”“Let you in where? I asked with a shaky voice.“Inside of you. Let me and I’ll make everything alright.”“No. LEAVE ME ALONE!”“You really should watch that temper. It can change the world. I know who you are.”I sat up a little braver. “Who am I?”It laughed or at least I think I was a laugh, it sent cold shivers down my spine. “Heathen Wolf, be sure to ask Odin.”“What?”“Go now, I will release you from this place, but I shall be watching you Ulfheonar, your sacrifices sate me.I walked out of the Phantom Woods only to see Saskia and Saxon strung up like scarecrows disemboweled with their eyes open in fright. I col
Chapter 11That night after Phoenix showered and fell into bed exhausted over the day she had, she fell into a deep sleep. Meanwhile Gael was also in bed falling into a deep sleep thinking of Phoenix, he began to dream. He dreamt that Phoenix was standing in the field in front of the packhouse with a sheer dress on, the kind where you could see her whole body. Her hair was in coily waves down her back and the wind blowing against her made her look ethereal. She called his name and her voice, the sound went straight to his dick. He watched as she started walking toward him and the way her body moved had him paralyzed and unable to take his eyes off her. When she finally reached him, he just took her in, her scent enveloped him and his whole body tingled. His hand touched her cheek and electric shocks shot through his fingers, his arm, his whole body. Her hazel eyes seemed to pierce his soul. After what seemed like an eternity, he bent to kiss her and when their lips met, the mate bond
Chapter 12As Phoenix stood in the shower, watching the blood and chunks go down the drain, she wasn’t injured but felt a significant loss. She only killed in battle, in self-defense. Even the missions she was sent on, these were bad people who had killed the young, had used them for sexual trafficking and abused them beyond belief. It still made her sick to her stomach, but she always remembered what she learned from the Phantom woods about her temper. She practiced keeping her temper in check because she never knew what could happen if she truly lost it.She stood in the closet finding clothes to put on when there was a knock at the door. She didn’t care that she was in a towel and her hair still wet just said “come in.” In walks Gael who stops and quickly closes the door because he didn’t want anyone to walk by and see what is his. He stood there looking at those beautiful brown smooth legs and arms and imagined what she looked like naked. He adjusted himself and cleared his throat
Chapter 13Lance’s POVI’m sitting here on the porch still in disbelief over what I’ve seen my sister do. I was on the verge of stepping in so many times, but with each moment I was mesmerized with her. I never knew Phee held that kind of power. She’s always been my baby sister. When she was up against Montrose, I knew she would beat him, but the force of the kill move she used was incredible. Then she stood and challenged everyone before her, I must admit I was nervous because I wouldn’t let anyone rush her or hurt her, but then I looked over at Gael and I knew I’d be second in anything having to do with Phee. He was battle ready and did I see pride on his face? She was a well-oiled machine taking out everyone that stepped to her. The last guy, I actually felt sorry for. He was trying to be a warrior, but sometimes you gotta know when to say when. The way she ended him was brutal. After, she stood waiting and then the rest of Montrose’s warriors went to their knees with the sign of
Chapter 14She told them everything from her time in the Phantom woods to the day she went to the library, to the present. Doc Simmons sat up straight in his chair and said, “That explains so much. Your healing is incredible, your speed, strength. You’re everything is a hundred times more powerful than that of an ordinary wolf.”“Your aura is excruciating, and it brings Alphas to their knees.” Gael smiled as he looked at her.Doc Simmons was so excited. He got out of his seat and paced the room, “Oh I have to pull the books on Odin, I’ll start researching right now.” He ran out of the room like a kid with a new toy.Gael thought about all that Phoenix said and he had a myriad of emotions concerning his life up to now. He was destined to this wonderful entity, where he was the only one who could rein her in when she was out of control. He also thought about how dumb he’d been for years, and he still hadn’t sealed the deal with her yet. The twinge in his pants made him anxious to get to
Chapter 15“I can’t believe they managed to ruin all my plans! They still have my daughter and they killed Montrose.” Alpha Walters, Amy’s father was livid at how things were turning out. “Amy is pretty much a lost cause; she was weak when it came to men. She couldn’t go against the mate bond, but she sure as hell fought it to sleep with that weakling Alpha jr.” he was seething thinking about how she allowed herself to be taken advantage of. “Where is Tolina? I need her here now!” His subordinates ran to fetch the witch.After about twenty minutes in walks a woman with white hair looking to be in her thirties with sparkling grey eyes.“You rang?” she asked in a bored tone.“Yes Tolina. What is happening out there? I need answers. None of my pack warriors or Montrose’s came back. I have no intel. What is going on out there?”“Yes Alpha you have your answer right there. All your forces and Montrose’s have been captured or killed, same as Montrose himself. I told you this would happen; yo
