I heard beeping and opened my heavy eyelids to see I was in a room with walls made out of sheets of clear plastic. Lifting my arm I frowned at seeing it was cuffed to the bed rail. I focused more down the side and could tell there were more patients lined up along the row. I glanced up and saw concrete walls with cage-covered led lights. I tried sitting up and pain shot through my neck. I winced painfully and settled myself back down. The plastic curtain flew open and Dr. Bryce stepped into the room looking down at me in indifference. I was just about to open my mouth when he asked me how I was feeling. "What happened, Jordan," I questioned outright? He exhaled harshly and pulled a chair to sit at the side of my bed."The commander-in-chief went rogue so they moved me to a new high-security facility after our altercation…um, Brian followed you and ended up marking you Emma, he also altered you and your wolf's DNA. The bite he gave you also isn't healing. I've been running tests and it
As I showered I was curious about where I was. The facility I was at was very large and seemed like it was underneath a solid substance. As Jordan was carrying me to the showering area, we passed hundreds of people of all ages tucked away in their very own sections of plastic. Some were unconscious and hooked up to breathing machines and other medical testing equipment. I wondered if they were all test subjects the government was using to infect with the golden blood. My eyes widened at my thoughts. I was certain that I saw little children. Jordan Bryce wouldn't be involved in such depravity, would he? I rinsed my body and shut off the water and peeked around the tiled wall. Jordan was down the hall waiting for me. He looked up and I waved. I tightened the towel around me as he started towards me with my clothing. Grabbing the pile from him I didn't notice his eyes glaring off to the side. When I glanced over the same way I realized that he was eyeing that Sandra woman. I gritted my te
Both Hunters took a brief sip of my blood and made odd faces."She's very powerful, more than she is aware," Claire mumbled softly and glanced up at me in surprise. Zayn smiled and asked me to join him in the Hunters office so he could taste me. My cheeks reddened as my mind took a naughty turn at what he had said. He noticed and told me that Brian's mark was put on me in bad faith and maybe he could remove it. I asked Aisha if he could and she wasn't sure as she did not know what Zayn was capable of. "He's an Alpha but of what I'm unsure?" I asked her if he had a wolf and she told me most certainly did and it was a huge one. I closed my eyes and rubbed my cheeks over my dirty mind. Aisha just laughed at me as we followed after the tall creature. He led me down a pitch-black tunnel and turned to glance back at me. His eyes were glowing like embers from a fire."Beautiful, I've never seen glowing blue eyes before. They're very pretty," he said to me and I thanked him kindly, admiring h
The room I was loaned was cute and laid out like a small studio apartment. There was a small living room and galley kitchen. I was happy with it and even more so when I opened the full-size refrigerator and found it fully stocked. "This is great, thanks so much," I said to Zayn. He told me to thank the commander-in-chief since he's the one that assigned the room to me. I nodded and watched him being hesitant to leave me. He was swinging the door and I crossed my arms, eyeing him."Is there something else you need?" I asked curiously and he laughed nervously and told me no."I'm going to head out to track Brian. Now that I know what to sniff for, it shouldn't take me long," he said firmly. I nodded and wished him luck. Zayn lowered his eyes and frowned. I furrowed my brow as he looked back over at me."You'll still be here when I return?" I sucked on both my lips and nodded briskly. "Yes, I was paid in advance and am under contract for six whole months," I replied and noticed that he
I rushed as we neared and changed back into myself, dressing quickly. I grabbed the key card and headed towards Jordan's injured wolf. I ran my fingers through his fur and could feel numerous puncture wounds."I'll staple you up when we get to the patient area," I mumbled softly and looked up into his yellow eyes. He whined a little and I scratched behind his ears. I was caught off guard when he buried his canines into my neck. I gasped loudly and tried to pull myself off his teeth. I didn't feel the burn like I had with Brian's mark. "What are you doing Jordan," I screamed angrily and was tossed off into the tall grass as Jordan was shoved back by a black blur. "Erebus messed with the wrong wolf this time, he's as good as dead," Aisha said sadly within my mind and I scrambled up to my feet and headed straight toward the two fighting against each other. I waved my hands in the air and yelled for them to stop. I went in front of Zayn and grabbed his huge forearms."He didn't release a
I felt the soft brush of warmth against my lips and stretched my face out for more. I felt the circular motion being rubbed on my sensitive bud and spread my legs wider. I felt the warm mouth against my lips again and savored the way they molded aggressively against my own. An entire body was lowered intimately against me and my flesh connected with it most joyfully. I heard my wolf trying desperately to wake me and I asked her why she was interrupting my lovely erotic dream. She growled for me to open my eyes just as I felt a painful burn entering my flesh. I opened my eyes to see Jordan's head buried between my neck and shoulder. My eyes widened at what he'd done."Jordan!" He licked his bite and raised his head. His eyes were glowing and full of playfulness."I'm sorry Emma, but I had to claim what is meant to be mine," he said firmly and kissed me deeply. I closed my eyes, losing myself in his passionate kiss. His erection was against my thigh and I could feel the heat coming off o
Amanda ran behind my legs and started weeping."Let me transport the child Richard. I am their Alpha after all," Jordan said firmly and turned to me with pleading eyes. I nodded my head at whatever he had planned."Emma will carry her to keep her calm," he added and Richard grunted and told his soldiers to lower their weapons. He told us to hurry and that the truck was behind schedule. I lifted the child and heard Aisha tell me that Erebus told her we are to run to the right when we reach the outside. I glanced over at him for confirmation and he nodded. I lifted Amanda more on my side and told her to hang on to me tightly. She mumbled a frightened okay as Jordan and I walked ahead of the other three. Jordan leaned towards me and quietly said, "run in a zigzag pattern, and when you're far enough away change to your wolf and head to your home." I looked at him like he was nuts. I furrowed my brow and scowled bitterly at the fuckers with the guns behind us."Don't get shot, I've heard th
I entered my cabin and smiled happily. The inside was just as I remembered leaving it. I told Claire that she could lay Amanda down on the bed upstairs and she carried the little child up the stairs as I headed out to my back porch. I was glancing at everything that had been updated as Griffin came to my side."Hope everything is alright with you. I used my pack workers because they are great and work quickly," he mumbled softly. I rose on my tiptoes to kiss his cheek to thank him and felt an electrical shock on my lip. I rubbed at it and apologized for shocking him, certain it was due to me shuffling across the wool rug in my living room. Griffin stood there and eyed me perplexed. Enzo came and wrapped his arm around both of us and chuckled."Did I ever tell you two that I used to be a fortune teller in Romania," he said cheerfully and glanced hard at the both of us shaking our heads no at him."Well I was and I was exceptional at it, I was never wrong in what I predicted," he added.
Zurac's wolf was telling my wolf for us to stay back. I was antsy and was watching Ezra and Noah tag team the one huge creature. I was being pretty entertained until I heard Abby in the distance scolding none other than my little girl who was running full speed as her fire wolf. She passed me and headed to Ezra and his son. I yelled out her name and Noah turned right when the creature swiped him across his chest causing gold spray to cover the ground he fell to. Raven growled ferociously and jumped over Noah's prone body and stomped the ground with her two tiny front paws creating a fire barrier around Noah. Her small wolf guarded him and the flames flickered on her back."Nice form daughter and you already have discovered one of our gifts with the flames. I'm impressed, daughter," Zurac announced proudly and went to help Ezra. Noah leaned back on his elbows watching Raven with narrowed eyes and a devilish grin. His eyes were bright red. Raven's eyes were on the huge beast getting re
Zurac took Ezra outside to speak to him about the once part demon Kenan and show off the compound. I listened attentively to Abby as she discussed going to hell to meet with the actual devil. I glanced over at her son stripping off his shirt and showing his muscles to impress my child. Raven rolled her eyes and was searching for something in the couch cushions. Moments later, Abby and I were startled by a loud yell of ouch. I gasped softly at seeing the end of an obvious fork poking out of Noah's chest. I glanced over at Raven trying to look innocent."Raven, that's not nice," I said sternly and she glared at Noah and told us he was giving her kissy lips. Abby snickered and yanked the utensil out of his flesh. She wiped away the shimmering blood and said,"he heals fast but you shouldn't hurt him too much because it tires him out." Raven headed towards the taller boy and pecked his cheek telling him sorry. His red eyes flashed and he grinned devilishly and told her it was alright. He ma
I smoothed out my clean blouse over my much larger and unfortunately sagging breasts and examined myself in the full length mirror. My wavy chestnut hair fell all the way to my butt. I debated on whether to put it up or not and decided that it would be down after hearing Zurac tell me it was time. I exited the bedroom and glanced up at Zurac."Are we taking the Jeep?" I asked curiously and he eyed me oddly and told me yeah. I smiled and started past him and was surprised by feeling his hand splayed out on the middle of my lower back as we headed outside. I went straight to where Zurac's jeep was and waited for him to unlock the door. We both got settled and Zurac grinned at me."We're going to Biysk and it will be at least an hour drive and I'd like to ask you some questions about your claim of being my mate," he said softly. I grinned slightly and told him of course. I noticed that his eyes were glowing and cleared my throat."Your fire is shining in your eyes, might want to tone it d
Zurac told me he'd prepare Raven a bottle when it was time for her feeding and I thanked him. He nodded and left me in the room. I laid Raven on the bed and grabbed the landline phone within the room. I dialed the operator to get connected to the USA and asked for the Relruz hotel in Vegas. Thirty minutes later I was on hold waiting for Abby to answer. Once she got on she screamed into my ear."You're not dead," she squealed and I told her everything that had happened."Well shit Em, cook for the man," she suggested and I laughed."You never had a problem getting a man, just keeping them," she told me truthfully and I groaned. She told me her and Ezra were going to visit and she'd help me kick Zurac's dumb butt. I chuckled softly and told her I needed to do it the way the moon goddess wanted in order to get Aisha back but was thankful for her friendship and advice. "Hang in there hun, you're a very beautiful and amazing woman and if he can't see that then it's truly his loss," she mum
Kenan shook his head at me."I'm human too and can see your resemblance to you when you had your wolf. Wolves go by scent and with your wolf gone you smell just like every other human in the world," he told me frankly and I scowled. My vision was so blurry I just wanted to cry. I gritted my teeth seeing through blurry vision the lovely woman I knew was Monica, nursing my child. I stomped my foot, having enough of this bullshit. "I demand an audience with the Alpha and you as well, Raina. I know your mate was Scotty the Adlet and I know I had golden blood that was unique and took gifts of those not naturally born. I'm Emma, the blind, fatter, dumpier human version but nonetheless still Emma Rockford. Ask me anything and I'll answer," I said firmly and Raina rolled her eyes and told us to get into the shed along with the rogue. We were shoved inside and I heard the door lock and cursed bitterly. Clasping my fists I started doing jumping jacks in place because of my insecurities."What
"I'm Kenan Thorpe and my associate is Seth Jackson. Thank you for the brief meal and please don't run off. I would hate to terminate you doctor Rockford," the white-haired man said. I clenched my teeth and looked up at him and realized that his irises were very odd and goat-like. "You've heard of me?" I questioned him and he looked at me like I was daft."Of course doctor. You were one of our lesson studies and one of the highly wanted individuals by the world's military because your blood is very unique and could eliminate the entire project which ironically fell apart irregardless," he mumbled sourly. Seth ran his fingers through his thinning sable hair and surprised me by saying that Kenan was mixed with the DNA of some demon named Ezra. I snickered at that and he eyed me angrily. I cocked my brow and smiled."My mate carries a demon fire wolf and my best friend is marrying Ezra, I'm far from impressed and hardly terrified. Especially when my mate who is Alpha follows my scent and
The reality of my life was that it was surrounded by heartache and unfortunate death. I feared for Zurac since all my other mates had met untimely endings. Yutu loved the man like his own father and he and Aiden had grown extremely close. The pair would run off together, learning things from hunting to farming. Today they were going to learn about skinning and tanning hides. I held my protruding belly as I watched the plane landing on the runway. Raina and Eric were coming for a visit. I covered my laugh at seeing Raina's bigger belly and Eric dotting on her. It was obvious that he loved her and the moon goddess should allow them to be mates. They both had retired from the hunters and had taken half of the captives for their pack. Raina wobbled towards me and we attempted to awkwardly hug each other, but our baby bumps were in the way."Eric proposed and I said yes," she said excitedly and showed me her shiny rock."Abby's getting married after she has her baby and I have mine. We'll
Zurac and I waited for Raina. Thankfully she'd been at the Dulce facility and would be here soon. A buzzing sound filled the air and Mortas pressed a button on an intercom on the wall.The bartender said there was a woman downstairs for her brother. "Send her up," he ordered and grinned at us. The door opened and Raina waltzed inside with her black hair falling loosely down her back. She looked lovely. Her green eyes raked the room and fell on Scotty. I watched as the Adlet jumped up and rushed to her. She fell back as he tackled her and started licking her face. I snickered as what Circe told me about Rain being associated with Scotty's mate made sense. Zurac grunted and was about to get up and I stopped him by pulling his arm."They're mates, leave them be," I said softly and he eyed me perplexed."So your baby daddy is going to be my sister's mate? Well shit, it could have been worse. He could have been yours and stole you from me," he said firmly and I chuckled softly that he had
Zurac kneeled down and held Tarkik up with his hand on his collar bone."Emma, don't touch the poor man's back, it's been burnt to the bone," he said firmly and I gasped softly and looked up into Tarkik's eyes."You saved me,'' I said and cupped his cheeks. He attempted to smile and groaned instead."Can your wolf heal you?" I asked frantically and he closed his eyes and shook his head. Aisha sighed and told me it appeared as if he no longer had his wolf or his Adlet, he was just an ordinary human. I ran my hand down his cheek and turned to Zurac."He can't heal, he no longer has any supernatural gifts," I told him and he exhaled deeply and told us to wait a moment. I watched him head towards the plane and yell out for the demon couple. I watched Grace heading toward us and furrowed my brow when she raised her hands and pressed them onto Tarkik's back. Tarkik gritted his teeth and passed out so Zurac helped him off of me. Zurac and Mortas carried the unconscious man to the plane and Gr
