Elly Every bit of Elly’s body was screaming with pain and exhaustion. The wound on her shoulder was the biggest culprit. She found she could stop her own bleeding, doing so took a lot more energy than she imagined. The wolves had originally bound her hands and made her walk alongside them as they marched them through the woods. But after she nearly collapsed they made Rowan carry her while they marched. As he walked she could feel his muscles moving against her. Everywhere they touched her skin was on fire. Elly couldn’t help her muscles being stiff as he cradled her in his arms. “I didn’t need you to carry me, I just tripped.” She said low enough for only him to hear her. She was still pissed at him. The more she thought about things the more her emotions moved toward rage. Why did he come to her family’s coven looking for her? He might not have known who she was when they slept together but he was still looking for her knowing his parents killed hers. The whole thing made her sick.
Elly “That’s impossible.” She shook her head, still too afraid to come out from behind Rowan. “Mates are supposed to be important, right? But I’ve never seen you before now.” She said peering out at him. His wide chest heaved as he sighed. “You were promised to me when I was a child. But you were taken and hidden. When I finally found you I had to wait for the right time to retrieve you.” Elly narrowed her eyes at walked around Rowan. He tried grabbing at her to pull her back but she slipped away. Dane’s eyes brightened as she approached him, a smile spreading across his face. “Retrieve me?” Before anyone could say anything she hauled back and slapped his face as hard as she could. Everything from her arm to her wounded shoulder was screaming in pain but it was worth it. His head barely turned. He looked down at her with his big black eyes. “Retrieve me? Like some object that you misplaced. You call me your mate yet you knew where I was this whole time and you left me there. Left me
Rowan “Mate.” That asshole said it with so much calm and confidence that Rowan had difficulty processing what he said. He couldn’t help but ask for clarification. When his hand moved to pull Elly behind him he knew Eris was coming back from the poison. Lies. It was one word but it was enough to confirm what Rowan was thinking. The more the rogue talked the more uncomfortable he got. Why did he seem so familiar? “I’m Dane, Alpha of the Blackcrest Pack. I can see you’re confused so I’ll speak in small words. Our pack is one of the oldest packs around. We were attacked over twenty years ago, our people either stolen or murdered. We’re taking back out people. We’re taking back our land. And I will be taking back my mate.” Rowan frowned at his words. His eyes darted around hoping some of the wolves had dispersed. Instead, it appeared more had shown up. Did you hear that Eris? He asked hoping his wolf had regained his strength. With or without him Rowan had superhuman strength. He could pr
Rowan The smell of her arousal filled the cell driving Eris into a frenzy. He lifted Elly off his chest and placed her so she was straddling his face. He was pleased to see he would not need to rip off her shorts given where they were. It would be fucked up to leave her pantsless. With ease, he pulled the crotch of her short shorts to the side and slid his tongue into her slit. The taste of her already wet pussy made him moan. Her moans echoed as he held her to his face. His tongue ruthlessly flicked against her clit. She was able to hold onto the chain that secured the cot to the wall while he pushed her forward enough to slide a finger into her wet opening. She clenched immediately. He could feel her tightening in waves. Her pleasure made him harder than he ever thought possible. “Come for me. Let me taste you.” His voice was deeper and rougher than usual. Eris was in full control and Rowan had forgotten was fighting him. The two of them were fully immersed in the sensation. Her s
Elly Elly’s heart was beating out of her chest. Every single nerve ending felt like it was being zapped with electricity. The two of them were still intertwined on the small cot when his eyes glazed over. She wasn’t sure how they made that small space work or even how it managed to handle their weight but she was glad. The longer the tether was on her arm the more desperate she was to get rid of it. She couldn’t have been asleep for long before Darren visited her in her dream. It was like he was in the cell with her. She could have sworn she felt his fingers on her skin. It was a true nightmare. Thrashing around in her sleep must have stirred something in Rowan. When she managed to pull herself from Darren’s grasp two hungry wolf eyes were staring back at her. Ready and willing to help her forget about her nightmare. When Rowan finally pulled out it sent a final jolt of pleasure through her. He stood up and went to the small window at the top of the cell. From the small slice of sky
Elly “There’s nothing to tell. Just another curse from those assholes. It’s not like you care about witch business.” Amber pushed the moon close to the lock so she could get a better view. “Do you think you can maintain a spell?” Elly’s heart raced at the question. “Uuuuh…” was all she could manage. If they had to rely on her ability to do magic they were in big trouble. “Here.” Amber shoved the little moon into Elly’s hand and positioned it to shine directly where she needed it. “I’m going to cut it off from my energy. Just feed your own to it. Not a lot. Just enough to keep it lit. You know how to do that right?” Elly nodded and tried to swallow but her mouth was dry. The light flickered and started to go out but Elly could feel it tug at her. It was similar to when Darren stole energy from her. Unlike with him, she lowered her guard and even pushed some energy at it. The dim light flickered a little before blazing to life. For a second it resembled the sun more than the moon. T
Elly The shock of Darren’s breath on her face as he leaned in to kiss her snapped Elly out of her trance. She yanked away from him like she had just touched a hot stove. Before her arms could fully unwrap from around him Darren’s hand clamped down on her arm and pulled her back. He grabbed her by the chin and turned her head. “What the fuck is this?” Elly stared at him for a moment. Did he really want an answer? “The bite mark or the hickey?” His grip on her tightened. For a split second, she thought she saw hurt flash through his eyes. What was even more surprising was the fleeting guilt she felt in response. He lowered his mouth to her ear. “You know…I found a way to protect you from the Silver Moon Coven. They’d never be able to touch you again. But I think I just changed my mind.” He twisted her wrist behind her back and led her out of the trees. All around them were fighting wolves. There seemed to be too many bodies on the ground. She remembered Rowan’s people saying they did
Rowan Everything was tinted red. Eris was so enraged it was impossible to keep him under control. The only thing keeping him from shifting was the sight of Luke and Fox on their knees, bound in silver chains. Even then he could feel fur sprouting in patches on his skin. To appease his wolf, Rowan let him come forward and co-front with him. The more that idiot Darren talked the more he regretted that decision. He held Elly close but it was clear she was uncomfortable. “I’m repeating myself because your stupid dog brain must have forgotten the part where I said to accomplish this we would need a massive sacrifice. That massive sacrifice!” His words shocked Rowan at first. The entire idea that Darren thought he could subdue him let alone sacrifice him was so absurd it was hilarious. Laughter burst from his mouth and Rowan had to fight to remain standing. Didn’t he realize either Dane or he could get to him and rip his head off in an instant? They didn’t need their wolves for such a triv
