Marcus drove through the windy road. He stopped at some points to make sure that there were no hidden enemies around, and hoping he would be able to catch a glimpse of Laura.He didn’t.He finally arrived at the venue, and parked his car in the midst of some banana trees. He locked his car tightly, and walked a good distance into the woods.He say some camps held up as the members of the pack went about their duties. He looked around with a frown. They were obviously for a territory to stay, but their Alpha was beyond rude while at it.“Alpha Marcus,” someone said behind him.He turned to see a boy who was obviously about to creep out of his puberty looking right at him. There was something about the boy that made him feel they’ve met earlier.“Eh… who are you?” Marcus queried.“Klaus,” he stated simply, and went back to staring at Marcus.Marcus shifted uneasily on his feet. Klaus was so weird and the vibe he was going was definitely not very impressive. He didn’t want to fight anyon
Laura seemed to lose all sense of time. Everything was barely making sense anymore. She tried hard not to panic, but it was hard not to when she was in the hands of a serial killer who claimed that she was his bride. She wasn’t sure anything could be worse than that.Laura sighed as she pulled her legs close to her chin. She had barely slept because of fear, and she was starting to feel paranoid. It felt like she was seeing strange objects half the time, and that scared her to her bone marrow. Nothing was worst than what was presently happening to her. She was definitely sure about that.She wondered if Marcus was looking for her, or he was in the arms of his new woman. ‘No, I won’t think about that.’ She admonished herself.She was going to think about how he was going to get her from this place. She wasn’t going to die here, and she was going to escape the awful cage she found herself.She rested her head on the headboard, and waited for a sign of life. She wished she had a clock to
It was all a mess.Marcus had never felt so lost in his whole life like he did at that moment. He couldn’t breathe well, and worse, he felt her pain and sadness all at once. He always knew when he was feeling her. It was all in the abstract like it was not a part of him, yet it was painfully a part of existence.The last feeling had been so severe making him believe that she was in danger. It was so chilling that his toes almost curled at the emotion threatened to get the better off him.“Marcus, where are you?” He could hear his brother call him.He had no idea which of them was craving his attention. All he knew was that he needed to get to her;. He needed to be with her at that moment. He had to do that for them.His wolf was also prancing around in his soul, trying to shift and go to their mate. Marcus tried to see so many reasons he shouldn’t step out, but none of them was able to calm him down. He pulled at his shirt as he walked rapidly to the front door. He only wanted one th
Headache.It got worse as the minute dragged on. Laura groaned in bed, and tried so hard to sit up, but she couldn’t. Everything was suddenly so crazy, and chaotic. Her head was spinning a thousand mile per hour, and she had no idea what to do to stop it. In between it all, she remembered the sharp pain she had felt in her lower neck as Lin sunk his fangs into her.“Oh, fuck! I’m dead,” she exclaimed in shock.That was the only thing that she could understand from all these. She rolled slightly, and almost fell on her butt, but strong hands helped her up almost immediately.She turned slightly, holding her head as she looked right into Lin’s soulless eyes. It creeped her out as she squealed.“Relax, beloved,” he cooed softly.Laura gasped in shock, and tried to get away from him. It was hard, but finally she was on the bed, and he tucked her in.“You’re not dead,” he said softly.“I wish I was,” Laura sighed.Lin smirked at her. “I see you really enjoyed when my fangs drew your blood
Laura slowly opened her eyes to the dark room. It was pitch black. She couldn’t see where the windows were. On impulse, her hands shot to her head, and she massaged the cranks she felt.The door slowly opened, and Lin stepped in, holding a lamp in his hands. He held it away from him like he couldn’t stand the heat it brought. Laura swallowed hard as she looked at him.She could remember that he fed her with wine, but anything beyond that was completely lost on her. She just couldn’t remember at all, and that really stressed her.“You look so good naked, Laura,” Lin cooed.What?For the first time since she regained consciousness, she looked down on herself, and true to his words, she was indeed naked. She gasped in shock wondering what the hell had happened. Her hands sought to cover herself, but it was seemingly inadequate.“Don’t be so shy. Last night, was so good. I enjoyed it a lot. Ugh! I didn’t make a mistake choosing you as my beloved. You’re…”His words spun in her head, and s
Marcus stared at the full moon through the safety of his bedroom. He hated the fact that he had been forced to sit put in such a situation. There had not been any positive creative idea that would make all these easier to handle. Instead all he got were scraps. There was no way he would be able to get Laura out of Lin’s lair this way.His fingers combed through his hair. The moon goddess must have given him Laura as his mate, so he would be able to protect her from the dangers that about, but he had failed to do even that part. He felt like a failure through and through.“I don’t know where to look for her. What do I do, moon goddess. Let me in on the answer to all these issues.” He whispered to the moon.There was no response.He turned away from the window, and walked over to the mini bar in his room. He needed a drink. Maybe, it would clear his head if he took a shot. He wasn’t so sure, but there was definitely no harm in trying.Marcus took a clean glass, and poured himself a glas
The fresh glow of the sun as it penetrated into the room’s windowsills, was enough to make Laura smile in her sleep. She slowly made her way out of the comfort of her bed.It was so nice having the sun wake her up in contrast to what she had been used to at Lin’s place. For the first time in her while a smile touched her lips. It was genuine and slightly powerful.She looked out of the window to the horizon. Laura wondered what Lin was up to. To be honest, none of those things should matter to her? She hoped he was so injured that he couldn’t move. It will make everything more beautiful definitely.She breathed in the morning air, and smiled even wilder. Finally, she would be able to have peace with the love of her life, Marcus. The sooner she said that, the smile left her lips.“What am I even saying? There is still his pregnant woman in the picture. I will have to handle that part too,” she mumbled to herself.It was important to talk to Marcus about this whole thing. She pulled awa
The breakfast was finally over. Laura slowly got up from her sit. The guests had long gone, leaving only her and Jackson. Even Lucien had gone with some of them.She sighed as she grabbed her plates, and kept them in the sink. Jackson didn’t waste time to start washing them. He was normally so domesticated and hated dirtiness with a passion. Marcus always hyped him about it. “Where did Marcus go?” She asked softly.Jackson shrugged. “He said something about buying new groceries and stuff. We are running out of goodies because of the guests.” He explained calmly.Laura nodded, and slowly leaned her back on the counter, placing her hands on it. She found it so relaxing because it helped to stretch her worn-out muscles.“You know,” she started conversationally. He looked at her calmly. “I’m not stupid. Those people are a part of your werewolf people, but I’m kind of surprised about what they are doing here,” she said softly.He nodded. “It was not planned,” he explained as he rinsed th
