381. Don’t React – Part 2
~ CASIMIR ~
I frowned at her and she stared back at me. The Governor took a drink, smiling, clearly reading accurately that she was putting me in my place. Then she turned her face up to his again, smiling a little more this time.
“I would be happy to spend some time with you and see if you can… earn my approval,” she said quietly—with a husk in her voice that made me want to snarl.
“Earn you? I was of the understanding that you were here to earn me,” he said, unconcerned.
“I can assure you, if the King saw you touch me, this venture we’re building would be

~ JESSE ~ It took an intentional decision not to back away. “I can honestly say, I haven’t laid a hand on him.”The Governor did smile then. “You’re a quick study, aren’t you?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”He huffed. “You said you didn’t lay a hand on him—which is not the same thing as being responsible for his disappearance. Not the same at all. But your answer is exactly the kind ofanswer I give when I’ve made a decision, but forced others to enact it for me,” he said calmly, his eyes locked on mine. “I am many things, Jesse, but I am not stupid. He disappears. Now you’re here. And the wolves are dancin

~ JESSE ~Even though everyone else was on the other side of a wall and closed door, I could see what he was doing—feel it in him the moment he threw that power out and I watched it scatter into a thousand different threads.I felt the fear in him.The determination.And the fucking rage.“Cazz…” I breathed. “You can’t—”“Watch me.”“Cazz—you can’t compel the whole city!”
Slave to the Wolf King 384. Teamwork
~ CASIMIR ~As she cleared the path through the mess I’d made, I could already feel her exhaustion, so as I got my emotions under control, we began sharing the power back and forth, both of us weaving, but both giving control at times, the power washing in and out through our hearts, joining us, fueling and bolstering both of us.Jesse was saturated with it and I watched her in awe, knowing how intoxicating it was to hold that in her hands and restrain it.‘Don’t hold yourself back, Jesse, it will just reduce your physical strength further. Trust yourself. You know what you’re doing. Use it. Let it go.’She nodded and let it all flow a little freer and faster as we drew our attention closer and closer to the people nearer to us in th
Slave to the Wolf King 385. Death of Desire
~ CASIMIR ~The wolves were undisturbed by her judgment, of course. In our world, the death of an enemy was little more than triumph. But I knew what that meant to her—how dark she must have gone in her mind to have made that decision, and I ached for her.I rushed after her—she was plowing through the wolves towards the door, her gait rolling because her body ached so badly. But her jaw set with determination.I grabbed her hand as I caught up with her, and sent a rush of love in the bond.‘Don’t second guess yourself. You were right.’‘I don’t care. Death is never a good answer, Cazz.’‘No, never
Slave to the Wolf King 386. Run
~ CASIMIR ~It was hours of driving and wielding. I was pumping with adrenaline and fury, so even though I wearied, I was energized as well.Poor Jesse’s body was so heavy and her heart so full, she slumped against me in the back seat of the vehicle, heavier and heavier, until I urged her to lay down with her head on my thigh.“You can just give me your power and rest, beautiful,” I murmured, stroking her hair and staring out of the window as the city slipped past beside the highway.I’d turned all the wolves away and helped her change into more comfortable clothes. She’d sighed with relief when she was out of that dress and into sweats and soft shoes. But the dark circles under her eyes worried me—along with how pale she looked.

~ CASIMIR ~‘I’m walking now, this is ridiculous,’ Jesse insisted.‘No, you should rest—’‘Cazz, if they’re here and we’re about to fight, these males need to be free—not carrying me. And besides, we’re moving so slowly now, I can keep up, no trouble.’I shot her a look over my shoulder. ‘No trouble? No trouble at all? Really, mate?’‘Fine, it will be hard, but I can do it. And besides, I need to be free of that sling. If something does

~ JESSE ~“Cazz, no,” I said, much more firmly. “They’re equipped. They have tools. You can’t just rush at them because they’ll see you coming—and besides, I won’t be able to keep up.”“Which is fine, because you won’t be coming. This is a hunt, Jesse. You’ve just swept this entire area of threats. Now you’re going to stay here while I take the power in there with the Gammas and—”My entire body jolted and my back spasmed. “Cazz, no! We do this together, remember?!”“Love, you got us this far&md

~ JESSE ~Another pain tightened in my belly. I gasped as it shot through my middle and up my back, and I had to freeze, and breathe the way Maya had told me to when the contractions started.I was caught then in the surreal notion that I was sitting in the middle of the forest, with Cazz walking into war, while my body tried to expel our baby.Why, God? Why did it have to be now?But there was no answer.When the contraction passed after a few seconds, I looked at Reeca and she nodded slowly, then turned to the wolves around us.“Find the quietest, darkest thicket you can—completely shielded from eyes.
