Nate stumbled from the force of my push, as he looked back at me with a confused expression. Only, I didn’t have his attention for long as a loud snarl erupted behind him.Nate’s head span as he turned to face the oncoming rogue. His eyes widened as reviewed the unexpected attacker.“I’ve just put him down” Nate growled. His eyes turned black in fury, as he prepared to take it on once more. “Stay back, Serena”.“Let me help!” I exclaimed.“No, stay back” Nate insisted, before quickly jumping in front of me.I looked ahead at the injured wolf heading our way. He was tired and the pain from his leg was bothering him, but his eyes told me he was fuelled by anger and he wasn’t giving up as easy as Nate had hoped.Panic soared through me. I couldn’t allow Nate to be hurt. I had to do something, but what? My actions were limited by the Nate shaped bollard in front of me, keeping me close behind him.Sophia and John had left, and now it was just me and Nate. I knew Nate didn’t necessarily ne
“Be there in 20 minutes” Nate told the caller before he hung up, refusing to take his eyes off of me. He furrowed his eyebrows, causing frown lines to appear, as he desperately reached for my hands.“Come on, get up. We have to go” he told me frantically, urging me to get out of bed. What was going on? Was this to do with the attack? Truthfully, I’d never seen so much concern in Nate’s eyes before. But it wasn’t just that, it was anger too. He wasn’t even half as rattled as this when we were blind sighted by the final rogue’s attack.I watched as he rushed out of the room, vigorously typing messages on his phone. “What’s going on?” I called out, climbing out of the bed and wrapping myself in the silk sheets.“Get dressed, love. I’ll tell you shortly. Just hurry, please”. He didn’t even look up as he responded, he was still texting as quickly as he could.I sighed, realising the quicker I was ready the quicker I could understand the issue at hand. Only, I didn’t have any clothes in Nat
Nate’s P.O.V A low growl escaped my lips, as I tightened my grip around Serena’s waist. Anger fuelled me, as I slammed my wrist down on my desk causing those around me to jump out of their skin. If anyone thought they would even get remotely close to my mate, they would have to come through me first and I wouldn’t hesitate in ripping them to shreds. Serena softly placed her hand on my cheek and nuzzled her head in my neck. Her sweet lavender scent swirled around me, instantly putting out the flame that ignited the fire inside of me. Her scent was an aphrodisiac and I couldn’t get enough. She was everything to me. “Everything to us” Roman prompted, causing me to internally roll my eyes. “Not the time Roman” I growled. “I’m just saying”. I brushed the tip of my finger under her chin, pulling her up to look at me. Her bright, ocean blue eyes stared intently into mine, causing me to melt instantly on the spot. She wasn’t afraid, she wasn’t nervous. She was calm and confident. Her
Skylar’s P.O.V I watched into the bird bath bowl as those useless rogues were killed one by one at the hands of that stupid wolf king. One job. They had one god damn job. Sneak in and grab the girl. How hard could that have been? I even placed a protection spell on them, meaning it shouldn’t have been possible for them to have been harmed. Yet the spell was useless against that dreadful mutt who reigns amongst the rest of the smelly creatures. It just didn’t make any sense. Against her, I would expect the spell to have some technical difficulties, but him? I needed to return home and do some research into him. My spy at the academy said the mutt king was the girls mate, but they hadn’t mated yet. Was she wrong? How else could her powers extend to him? Ugh, her powers. Useless girl. She doesn’t even know how to use them from what I’ve been told. She passes out every time she uses a tiny bit of energy. Pathetic. Just like her grandmother. Completely unfit to be a Queen. Not that her
I was running as fast as I could toward the end of the corridor but every time I reached the exit, the ground would swallow me up and I would be stood back behind the silver, steel bars. I grunted in frustration. It was a vicious cycle which had replayed for the 3rd time. I scrunched my nose at the awful smell. It smelt like rotting flesh and the freezing conditions didn’t help to dim down the scent. “Leia?” I asked mentally. Nothing. “Leia, are you there?” I whispered. I don’t know why I whispered, no one could hear the conversation in my mind. I could feel her stir inside me, but she wasn’t talking. I would have to figure that out once I got out of here. But where was here? I looked down to the padlock on door to my trapped room once more, and like I had previously, I twisted my wrist in the air causing the padlock to twist and break off the the bars. At this point, I realised silver didn’t burn me. Or at least it didn’t right now. I pushed the bars forward and ran out the d
Forcing ourselves out of bed was harder than usual this morning. Now I had Leia, Nate and I were able to mate and mark each other finally but we were waiting until later when we were on our trip away. Even though we both wanted to wait, there’s only so much you can resist when you’re rolling around in bed naked with your Greek god of a mate. Leia wasn’t any help either, she was one horny wolf who was more desperate to get her hands on her mate than I was. But after an hour of teasing and resisting, I finally found the willpower to escape my sexy mate’s embrace. Now, I was in my room with Maddie and I was packing for my trip. I had no idea where we were going, Nate wouldn’t tell me and he insisted it was going to be a surprise. But as long as I was with him, I didn’t mind where we went. None of that was important. Knowing how much I loved him already and how strong the mate bond had already become, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like when I finally wore Nate’s mark on m
“So where are the dungeons kept, anyway?” I asked Nate, as I swung our interlaced fingers back and forth in excitement. I wasn’t excited about questioning the rogue, more like where we were off too afterwards. I was however, intrigued to find out what the rogue had to say and if he could provide us any more information that would help us locate Skylar. We took a steady pace back toward the castle, too steady for my liking. I was practically skipping against the white gravel, eager to begin our trip, but Nate continued to take peaceful strides and restricting me from pacing ahead without him. Not that I would, but only because I didn’t know exactly where we were going. He gently squeezed my hand, silently instructing me to steady my pace. “It’s not far from home. You’ll soon see”. The vagueness in his voice causes my eyebrows to furrow whilst cocking my head to look up at him, to which he chuckles in response. “Let’s just say it’s in a safe place. Only the Royal family and the truste
“Dead? How the hell can he be dead!” Jacques hissed in irritation as he stormed through the cell entrance. “He was perfectly alive last night!” Jacques observed the rogue, looking for any sign of life. Clearly, he didn’t find any because moments later he threw his hands in the air in exasperation as he turned to Nate. Nate clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth, a deadly expression took over his face. If I didn’t know him better, I would be petrified to make eye contact. “Xavier, explain” he spoke to the warrior behind me. His voice was calm and low, but there was a dangerous tint that promised to take over if he didn’t get the answer he wanted. As the guard stepped forward from behind me, Nate lifted from his knees and stood straight. Towering over all of us, he folded his arms across his chest whilst he watched the warrior, Xavier, with an expression cold enough to send shivers down my spine. If the dungeons were enchanted and only those most trusted or were a member of the royal
