The pain is unbearable. I scream as tingles run along my body and I try to calm myself. I know that I am scaring him but I have no idea what is happening. It feels as if my back just broke and I could have sworn I heard the snap before I screamed. Oh, god I would do anything just for the pain to stop.This is only the beginning. I’m coming to you now and we will never be apart.I look around the forest as I try to decipher where the voice came from but I can’t seem to focus on anything but the pain. I close my eyes as something else hurts me and I try to fight. I only just accepted him. I can’t leave him now that I am finally his. I try to clear my gaze so that I can see him one more time and I hope that it’s a smile on my face he sees. His bushy eyebrows are furrowed in confusion and sweat beads on his forehead. His golden hair cascades around his face as it hangs loosely. His lips are plump from our ministrations as he clenches his jaw. I wish that the relaxed look from earlier
I jerk into a sitting position as soon as my eyes open. I jump up off the floor and spin around the room I’m in as I look for danger. My stance calmly relaxed when I realize that I am alone. I start walking as I try to search for a door. I got in here somehow so there has to be a way out. I need to get back to my mate. She needs me.“Hold your horses. You sure are a hard person to find” I whirl around toward the voice and as I take in the woman everything starts to make since. Finally realizing what this is I relax. “Hello, Kawa. Why don’t we get this over with so that I can get back to my mate” I say a bit impatiently. I still have no idea what is wrong with her or why she was in so much pain.“Your mate at the moment is just fine. If she were not, you would be able to feel it through your bond. Now follow me” she says as she turns away. A door forms just for her and I watch her walk through it. Knowing that I have no other choice, I follow right behind her. The room that we walk
When I step into the darkness, everything is still. There are no sounds and no one in sight. My breathing sounds heavy in the still air as I look around for an answer. A bright red light shines in the distance and I start to walk toward it. The closer I get the more color it shows. The light starts to have a golden pool form in the middle and I find the sight enchanting. It looks so warm and inviting.My fingers twitch on my right hand and I just know that I am supposed to touch it. I just have no idea what will happen when I do. So, with a deep breath and a huge leap of faith I place my hand into the light. Pain races down my spine as I watch the light disappear. I scream as I feel it flow into me through the tips of my fingers. It’s almost like its burning me alive as I collapse to my knees.I pray as I scream. I just want the pain to stop. It feels like I am dying a gruesome death. It burns all the way up to my arm and settles into my chest. With all my might I take a deep breath
The feeling as her teeth sink into my neck is indescribable. The bond snaps into place and my entire body is flooded with her emotions. The love I feel coming from her is so intense that knees nearly buckle as I feel my cock jerk. My seed flows freely in strong torrents as I fill her tight sheath. The roar that fills the air makes my own ears ring as I share with anyone that can hear. Their alpha has been claimed and a new leader is arising by my side.The mind link tries to open but I shove it out as I bask in this glow with my mate. My lips take hers softly as I just enjoy how they feel on mine and the connection that we share. Her taste is sweet as she kisses me back. Her body leans into mine as I hold up her weight. I disconnect the cuffs from her hand quickly as I pull her more into me. The sound that fills the air immediately pisses me off and I whirl with a roar to face our intruder. My mate gets pushed behind my back as I crouch into a battle stance. Adrenaline pushes throu
I plaster a smile on my face just as I round the corner to the front gates. I checked my cell for a call or emails and found none. He has dropped by unexpected and told my guard to give me a message. According to the contract we have, I still have three days with the prisoners on my land before he can take them. No one has violated the contract by committing a crime and all of them are accounted for. When I see Mr. Slater he stands off to the side talking to the three uniformed men that he has brought with him. He flickers a gaze in my direction and pauses in what he was saying. He turns away from his group and marches toward me. “All I have ever done was try to make things easier for you and your people. You leave me here waiting on you as if I don’t have better things to do with my time” he shouts as he walks up to me. He would do well to remember that this is our land. His stupid little voice holds no power here. A growl rumbles up my chest at the blatant disrespect that is
“Anyone who is close enough, get to the cells and stop Maximus” I hear Xander’s command as it comes through the link. His voice is rough and I can feel his entire command through the bond. Others that hear the call don’t answer but I can hear a lot of movement outside. I am on my feet in a flash as I exit the cabin. I know that he told me not to leave but something tells me that I need to be there.“Xander…” I call his name through the bond.“Tika, oh god. I messes up. I really messed up. I’m so sorry. I didn’t know what it would do. I just wanted to save you” he rushes to say. By the way he pants as he speaks it is almost as if he is rushing in his mind too.“What are you talking about. You have to slow down” I yell at him as he continues to babble.“There is no time, my love” Ceron says as he speaks. “I Alpha Xander Stone of the Scarlet Light Clan hereby transfer my title as alpha to Tika Heather Stone, my mate. With this promise I step down from my duty as alpha. I step down fr
Beep. Beep. Beep. The sounds in the room are so annoying. I wish that someone would just turn it off so that I can go back to sleep. I don’t want to get up. I make myself turn over away from the errant noise as I squeeze my eyes shut tighter. I just need more sleep. I don’t want anything else right now. Quiet and sleep sound so good but that insistent beeping just wont stop. I groan as I smash my face into my pillow. “She seems to be waking up. Maybe when she does, can tell us what to do” I hear as someone whispers. You would think that they would know to whisper quieter if they didn’t want someone to hear them. Women normally gossip much better than this.“She has to know what to do. We still don’t even know what happened. We all felt the transfer. She is now our alpha. With him gone now, she is the only one that we can turn to” This time it’s a mans voice speaking. I cant help but frown because I know that voice. As I think hard about where I know the voice images start to flas
The room falls quiet as everyone turns to stare at me. I still cant even hide how pissed I am at the situation. These people shouldn’t even be here. Yet they stand here making demands of us. The whole clan is feeling the loss of our alpha. For me its more than them. For over a decade I have stood by his side. I was more than just an errand boy. He meant something to me. I never truly understood the concept of family until I realized that he was gone. Its nothing that I would ever say to his face, however.The prisoner. We need to speak to the prisoner. He is the last person that Xander spoke to.Stepping forward I don’t even pay attention to the others in the room. My hand still extends back in order to keep Emily behind me. I still don’t trust them but since my alpha does, I will stand by her. I still cant even fathom what Xander was thinking when he gave up his title. I know he most likely prevented all of us from feeling his death.“There is someone that we need to speak to then
