He occupied himself with making coffee while Carine spoke to the young family who had come to get a dog. Trying to dispel the darkness that Paul had brought out, he shook as he forced the dark thoughts back. It had surprised even him how his darker side had reacted when Paul had been unkind to Carine, snapping to the front of his consciousness and ready to devour.Yet there had been a subtle difference to his darkness that he had never expected. While his dark half was always ready to kill and maim and injure, this time he had felt a difference. It had felt as if it was protective of Carine. As if it cared about her as much as his human side was beginning to. He frowned as he poured hot water, wondering over the change. The darker side of his personality had never cared about anyone before, mainly concentrating on anger, hate and violence.What does it mean? He asked himself, stirring the coffee. Is this because of her? I have never felt about anyone in the same way as I have with Car
These two! Carine thought as she toured the couple around to look at the dogs.Some people, not many but some, treated the rescue centre as if it was a zoo, coming here with no intention to adopt any of them but to look and make loving sounds before leaving and never coming back. Annoyance gripped her chest as she knew this was one such couple. Wasting her time and winding the dogs up was the worst kind of selfish cruelty anyone was capable of and she despised them for it.“I just don’t see anything that’s going to be a good fit,” Jeff said with a superior attitude. “Maybe we should come back in a while to see if there is something better.”Better? What’s wrong with any of these dogs? Most people would be overjoyed to take any one of them.Her frustration turned to anger as the couple looked at her with their lying faces and smiled.“Well, that’s your choice but I don’t see it likely we’re going to have anything better,” she said in a snippy voice even she hated. “These are rescue ani
Holy shit! She thought as she cleaned herself up in the small bathroom. That was so fucking hot, so erotic and sensual.Carine felt a flush rise up her neck at the thought of what they had just done.And at work too! Anyone might have turned up.Yeah but that’s what made it feel even better. Another part of her said.The thought of getting caught while Vanadine was inside her sent a thrill of excitement through her and she smiled.Who are you becoming? Her mind asked. This isn’t you. You’re a good girl who only sleeps with a man after a few dates and then only in bed.Maybe this is me. She thought. Plus we’re both adults, single and not hurting anyone so what’s the harm in some great sex with a hot guy? And it feels so good.Carine had to admit it had been the best two experiences of her life. She had been with other men but they just seemed to want to satisfy their own needs and glanced over hers, leaving her frustrated and having to finish herself off. Vanadine was utterly different
Shock chilled his chest as he returned to find Carine’s door splintered and smashed, the frame had burst and the pieces looked like a small hedgehog where the lock had been slammed open. He dropped the bundle of clothing and bag of food he had returned with and stepped inside cautiously. With the exception of the door and one chair that had been tipped over, there seemed to be little damage until he spotted Laura.She was hunched over, sitting with her arms around her knees as she sobbed, a cut on her head oozing blood down her cheek.“What happened? Are you all right? Where is Carine?” He asked, hearing the panic in his own voice.A myriad of scenarios played across his mind as he waited for her to answer, resting a hand on her shoulder. Hann and Glenn coming to finish the job they had begun, a random intruder coming in to do this, one of the drug dealers he had targeted taking revenge on him.You know exactly who is responsible for this. He thought.“Wh-wh-what the fuck was that thi
Watching the ground pass beneath her had become something normal eventually. The action of her bouncing in time with Horann’s steps had stopped hurting as she became used to the situation. There was nothing she could do. Struggling was pointless she had found as Horann’s strength exceeded hers by a limitless factor and fighting against it was like fighting stone.You’ve got to do something! Her mind had told her. Vanadine will come but might not be able to save you.“You’re Horann, right?” Carine had asked, her voice sounding strange as she bounced along on the creature’s shoulder.As a reply Carine received a low growl.“Vanadine told me about you,” she had said.“All my good qualities?” Horann had asked with something she assumed was a chuckle.“Yes, actually,” Carine had said, trying anything she could think of to get the thing to put her down.When it happened she was unprepared and felt the air blasted from her lungs as she hit the ground. She rolled to her side, her back screami
A red mist had descended over Vanadine’s vision when he had seen Carine scratched and grazed. The fact Horann gripped her arm so tightly it would leave bruises made the anger he felt double and every last drop of it was directed at Horann.Her initial swipe had narrowly missed ripping his face from his skull but his reactions had spared him and her second was easy to block. Satisfaction thrilled through him when he heard and felt the bones snap in her face.Now finish her!Yet Vanadine allowed Horann to recover, not wanting the fight to end. He would kill her today but despite his promise, he wanted to draw it out, make her suffer and humiliate her after everything she had done.Take Carine and hurt her? Now you will see what pain is!Horann managed to stand, holding her smashed face and howling rage at the ceiling overhead.“I will kill you and when I am done I will kill your bitch too!” Horann shouted at him.Yet there was a quality to her voice, something he had not heard for decad
Heart pounding and trembling in utter fear, Carine could only watch as Horann reached for her. The creature seemed to have limitless strength despite the injuries Vanadine had given her and the restricted air where he was squeezing the life from her. Yet this was not Hann and Vanadine was struggling against the thing he was riding on the back of.Carine’s chest had folded in when Horann had burned him, crying out when she had stabbed her claws into his belly, the blood trickling down his abdomen and soaking his shirt. Misery, horror and despair had rolled through her as she watched the pair clawing and hitting each other. For some reason, she had thought a fight between Elves would be a more structured thing similar to a karate fight in the Olympics. Yet this was a savage, base brawl, each of them just trying to hurt their opponent in any way they could.Horann’s clawed hand inched towards Carine as she stared at it, petrified and glued to the spot.Fucking move! Her mind screamed but
A heaviness grabbed his chest as he walked from the Council chamber, avoiding looking at Carine. It was the hardest thing he had forced himself to do in his long existence and the grief and pain it caused were overwhelming. He halted when he reached one of the upper corridors, doubling over and clutching his chest, the pain far worse than anything Horann had done to him.It’s for her own safety. He knew. If they think she’s not that important to you, she’ll be safer.But what if they just breed with her now? Vanadine thought sickly.The thought of anyone using her in that way sent sickness and rage through him in equal measure. Carine in pain of any kind sent a crazed madness through him and he had almost flown at Garolinius when he had been torturing Carine in the chamber.I just need to get back to Earth. Get away from these fuckers and to somewhere I can think.Vanadine knew he would have to formulate a plan as there was no way the trio of brothers were ever likely to return Carine
