I looked again at the flask, the gems no longer showing the wolf, then back up at Driana. “I swear, I thought I saw a wolf in those stones.”Driana smiled, a sudden gleam shining in purplish hues through her eyes. I felt it again. That magical pull, only it was to her and not Rodger this time.“What else do you see?”I looked again at the flask, still lying on the bed.“You have to pick it up, girl, or it won’t show.”I hesitantly reached out, lifting the flask and cradling it in my hands. After a few seconds, the wolf appeared again, and then it started to really move. It was running, first going at a steady jog, then really sprinting, tall objects that had to be trees moving past it. Then, the trees bend and bow in the most unnatural ways. It was like the wolf was pushing them with some invisible force, making the tree bow as it passed.The wolf continued sprinting, coming to a lake. The gemstone glimmered like the sun reflecting off the water. When the wolf didn’t slow, I gasped, e
After hyping myself up, getting emotionally ready for the taste to be as bad as the smell, I threw back the flask and drank as fast as I could. I got it in my mind that if I did it really fast, I wouldn’t have to taste it for very long. Man, was I wrong.The liquid coated my mouth, leaving this slimy residue, like the way toothpaste feels in your mouth after brushing your teeth. I wish it tasted like toothpaste too. It tasted like moldy, sour milk and dirty. It left an earthy rotten aftertaste in my mouth that just wouldn’t go away, no matter how much I swallowed, coughed or gagged.“What the hell is in this?!” I asked as I tried wiping the taste from my tongue.“You got a little somethin’ right here,” Jamie pointed to his top teeth, then ran his tongue over them, so I would do the same.“I got this shit everywhere,” I groaned. “I need water.”“No water. It will dilute the blueleaf and lion’s whiskers.”“Lion’s whiskers?” I gaped at Driana. “How the hell did you get lion’s whiskers?”
“What do you mean by that? Is it because of the dark magic?” Beau asked.“I’m not sure. I don’t know if it’s that, or something darker residing in him.” I’ve watched that Alpha a few times now, and he seems different from what you would expect from a rational thinking Alpha. If I didn’t know any better, I would think he had gone rogue. He had that kind of feral energy inside of him.“If it was magic, I would have detected it,” Kai said confidently.“I would have too. That’s why I think that it is something more. Something else.”We sat there, watching them slowly paint the large exterior of the building. I needed to get back to the pack soon. Lenny would be waiting for me, and I know the Alphas said they had their warrior friend coming today. If we’re going to get a person on the inside, this will be our only chance. I was just hoping that we might catch a glimpse of Boyd just one more time before everything. I can get a message to him without seeing him directly, and I can’t even det
Boyd POVIt's been to long since I have seen the light of day. Too long. I don't even know how long I've been here now, but I'm desperate to get the fuck out.Two guards were standing on either side of me, there latest instruments of persuasion ready at their feet. Laura was just a few feet in front of where I'm restrained, a sick, twisted look in her eyes. Her arms were crossed and she was strumming her fingers on their sides with arrogance."Are you ready to agree?"I snarled. "Fuck you!""Hm, that's the intention, but I don't think you mean it," she said, looking at the guards. “Another,” Laura simpered with a perverse look on her face.Two full buckets of murky water were dumped over my head as I gasped and sputtered for air. This was the sixth time, and I was drenched. My wolf snarled in my head, wanting to break free and escape from this torture before he weakened any more and ended up giving in to her demands. Rodger and being with the others kept us from experiencing any rogu
Her legs wrapped tightly around me and she instantly started to grind against me. When her lips locked with mine, I lost all restraint. I slammed her back against the wall, forcing her to fully feel my frustration. My tongue pushed and moved with her as the carnal sounds of our desires rumbled between us.“Awesome. Someone go get some popcorn. We’re getting the live show now.” Jamie sounded excited, but I didn’t give two fucks right now. All my attention was on Chloe and the stiffness burning in my pants.“Out! It’s dinner time. A certain feisty grandma might need help carrying dishes,” Cindy said sternly.“You’re right,” Jamie growled. I heard the door open and close, and could just guess it was him and Cindy. Ivar could still detect others in the room, so I knew it wasn’t yet safe to rip the clothes from my mate’s perfect, writhing body.“Same time tomorrow, Chloe!” Driana yelled out. Chloe didn’t even flinch. If she heard her, there was no telling. Driana sighed. “She’s lost it. Fi
Chloe POV“Quit crying, you brat,” Cortina said to me as I darted up the stairs. “You’re getting worked up and don’t even know what’s wrong.”Angry tears were burning my eyes as I hurried through the packhouse halls. No, I didn’t know what was wrong, but I knew for certain now that both of my mates weren’t trying to get me pregnant. They were doing everything to prevent it. I could see that now. That’s my biggest role as Luna, and for some reason, neither of them want me to have their pup."There's something wrong with me.""No there's not, besides having some screws loose. You shouldn't have yelled at him and just asked what the hell was going on."No, I probably shouldn’t have exploded at Miles like that, but it hurts. It feels like being rejected to know that they didn’t want that with me. My fear and my hurt made me lash out, and now the depression is setting in.“You don’t even want a baby. You used to dread the thought of getting pregnant by Cameron.”“I didn’t like Cameron,” I
Mick POV “She’s safe. Lenny has her,” I told my brother. He grunted, still in a furious funk from whatever happened between them before the chills crept over me, nausea settling in my stomach telling me that we had intruders in the pack. Being in the warrior center, I bolted for the border right away, Rome tearing through me the second we were outside. Estel even snapped into action to help. Her little red wolf was small but fast. She couldn’t mind link any of us, so she had to fall back to follow as I gave commands to the others. I’m sure she would have been the first to the border if not for that. It wasn’t until I was almost to the border that my brother mind linked me that he couldn’t find Chloe. That’s when the panic hit. I had to turn around, leaving Billy and Darren in charge. Dez was leaving the pack house when I got there, ordering warriors ready to help at the border to search for Chloe. There was no scent of her anywhere. We tried to follow one, but all the trails were
Chloe POVEverything was silent. Everything was still. The lights had been off for so long, and the room was completely black. We’ve been stuck in this room with roller shutters blocking the windows and doors since yesterday. I was curled up in the center of the bed, hugging a pillow to my chest, pretending to be asleep to avoid more awkward conversation with Lenny.The first few hours in here were tense. He was unable to tell me what exactly was going on, but I think he felt the need to fill the silence with any other random topic of conversation. He would slip into his native tongue often, which he only does when he is nervous. That made my mood worse with the tension of the situation, so I said I was going to bed and have been faking it ever since.I'm an expert at faking being asleep. I had a year of practice when I was mated to Cameron. I've mastered the art of keeping up the facade.According to the clock on the nightstand, it’s now four in the morning, and my mates have yet to
