371. I See You – Part 2
~ CASIMIR ~
I caught her when her knees gave, wrapping arms around her middle, under her stomach, propping her up as my breath tore in and out and my chest heaved. I was sweating and had to pray that I wouldn’t sweat through the clothes because there wasn’t time to press another set.
“Cazz… dear God…”
“The comparison is flattering, but I keep telling you—”
She snorted a laugh, then almost slid off the countertop and had to slap a hand to the edge of it to catch herself.
There was a moment where my balance was off and hers was gone entirely, and we swayed together, still joined, her giggling, me chuckling, both of us shushing each other. Then I planted my feet and lift

~ CASIMIR ~The females were still preparing when I stood at the center of the wing and just allowed the reality to wash over me.Jesse was at my side, but turned away, speaking with Reeca and a couple of the other females. All of them were dressed and polished with the human make up. Though I enjoyed the human fashions, the painted faces made me grim. But I knew that Jesse and that Garrett creature had both emphasized that the men here would expect it, so I left it.I couldn’t deny that Jesse’s make up made her eyes look huge and even more piercing, and certainly drew attention to her lips in a way that made me want to drag her back to privacy. I could understand what it was about this tradition that appealed to the males. But still… I preferred it when I could see my mate’s natural skin.

~ CASIMIR ~My wolf snapped it’s teeth and I shoved it back. He’d lost his scent for Jesse. He was not in love with her.But it hadn’t occurred to me to consider that his attentions might shift…I looked at my friend with new eyes, tipping my head, thinking back to whether I’d seen or sensed any hint of feeling from him in regards to the female.But no… he’d happily stood for her to be accepted in the Selection. He’d trusted her with Jesse’s secrets, and seconded Maya in relying on her.So, what had changed?I must have sent the thought to Rake, because his expression grew sullen and he turned to scan the hallway and a

~ CASIMIR ~Jesse, myself, Rake, and Reeca were ushered down to the area where we’d be undertaking this whole enterprise early.Garrett, the Police Chief, now firmly under compulsion, had lost his suspicion and was consumed with eager lust and the thrill of bringing his friends into this little party. But there was a tang of fear in his scent. A part of him knew the truth, even if his mind wouldn’t conjure it. I’d given him reason to tell himself that his fear was based in our inherent danger as predators, but I knew that I walked a fine line with him.Letting him keep his own mind and thoughts, while forcing his mind to divert attention to other issues was an extremely precise compulsion, and now, watching the way he

~ CASIMIR ~“Look… no matter about that…” he said quietly when I waited for a response. “The point is, they have expectations and if you’re not meeting those—”“Their expectations are for dealing with a human. I am not human, I am wolf. I’ll handle this as a wolf would. If they see me trying to be like them, they’ll know I’m lying. You keep your greasy little nose out of this and leave me to do what I do best—making sure that everyone follows the rules. You can tell as many as will listen that I do not hold to your human standards on the sanctity of life. If they offend me, I will kill them. That includes you, you perverted little fuck.”Jesse stepped

“Beware those who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” - Gospel of Matthew 7:15 ***** ~ JESSE ~ The guards tipped us out into the room like puppies out of a bag. I landed heavily on rough stone, scraping my knees and palms, hissing against the pain. But they'd freed my hands and ankles before they shoved me in here, so, with my heart thudding in my chest, I scrabbled to pull down the blindfold that was over my eyes and get my bearings quickly. Dark room. Stone walls and ceiling. Warm lights. Cold air. Damp. Shadows my eyes couldn’t penetrate—and more shadows behind us I wished they couldn’t. Left and right, women shrieked and sobbed, hitting the floor, some rolling, one planting face-first into the rock and laying there, unmoving. Behind me, a cluster of guards filled the doorway, with more spreading out along the wall. They didn't carry weapons, but they didn't need to. They were all well over six foot and huge with it. Strong and rugged… feral. B

~ CASIMIR ~I was horrified.When I’d told Ghere to order the Reapers to find women from the poorer side of the human city, I had imagined the wicked types. The women who embraced their fate and it made them bold. Instead I’d been sent a box of poorly bred puppies suitable only for drowning?What the actual fuck?“God help us,” one of them murmured.I snorted.“I assure you, God abandoned this place long ago,” I drawled.The woman looked at me, shocked. It was the one at the center who’d stayed on her feet. She’d been staring around the chamber in horror, murmuring to herself, clearly forgetting that we wolves enjoyed heightened senses.She remembered now.The guards laughed, but the women’s eyes snapped down to her feet. She dropped her chin. Her hair, a rich mahogany brown, the kind that would spark red in sunlight, fell around her face in long waves, though it was messy and matted now.She was a thin little thing, though there was evidence of muscle under those terribly fitting clot

~ JESSE ~As I’d listened to the King’s pompous tirade, it had become clearer and clearer to me that it was not just bad luck that I was here.The question was, would I step out of the flames of one man’s making, and straight into another? Or was this truly an opportunity for escape?“I will be your mate… if you’ll have me.”The King’s eyes narrowed.His servant’s brows rose and he raised his hands. “Oh, I don’t think you understood—”“Why?” the King asked, his voice deep and skeptical. But I didn’t miss the glimmer in his eyes. I’d surprised him.I swallowed hard and prayed I’d understood all of this correctly. “I think… I know, I can give you what you want. And in exchange, you can give me what I need.”The King’s brows rose then. “How very presumptuous of you. But I will take the bait: What is it that you want?”“I propose… an exchange.”“Of what?”“You take me as your mate and you keep me safe like you promised. Away from my world and… and anyone I knew. When I bear you an heir, yo

“Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate.” (Mark 10:9) ***** ~ JESSE ~ I stood there, stunned, while the guards cleared the room. The King spoke briefly with the man who’d been at his side this entire time, then he gestured to me. “We have a short time before the Cleric arrives. You should bathe.” The words seemed so alien in the middle of this surreal and terrifying day, for a moment I just stared at him. But he either didn’t notice my stunned silence, or didn’t care. Because he and the man turned and started toward the end of the room from which he’d first arrived. A moment later, realizing I had no choice, I stumbled after them. The two men never spoke to me, though the King looked over his shoulder a few times to make sure I was following, and his servant tried to give me an encouraging smile that was just more terrifying than when they weren’t looking at me. At the end of the room we’d been in there was a door that led into a wide corridor—much more obv
