All Chapters of Slave to the Wolf King: Chapter 391 - Chapter 400

~ CASIMIR ~The quiet confidence in my aunt’s voice wasn’t faked. I knew that. She was over a century old. She wasn’t afraid to die. She just didn’t want to.And she really believed she could beat me.The problem was… I wasn’t sure she was wrong.Careful to keep that side of my mind completely walled off from her, I reached out to some of the other wolves that were still in the catacombs, and still strong, pleading for their help, showing them what Maya had shown me, and begging them to quietly, carefully, make their approach.Relief washed over me as I felt Rory roar into the link, and immediately begin racing closer with a fist of Gammas, strong and true.But e

~ CASIMIR ~I paced the tunnels, just out of reach of Maya’s power, my body growing tenser and tenser, and my mind spinning.Rory had brought backup, but I’d warned them to stay two halls away—I didn’t know how far Maya could reach, and it occurred to me that if she could reach these minds that weren’t bolstered by the power, she might use them against me.I gave them all a quick lesson in defending their minds—though it wouldn’t stop Maya entirely, it might slow her down enough to give me warning if she was reaching for them—then made them stay back and only answer my call when it came.But why would it come? What was I going to do?All I could see in my mind was my father laughing, telling me how weak I was, an

~ CASIMIR ~I felt the moment the power went out of Jesse. The entire mountain felt it.I howled with triumph and shifted, sprinting towards the room, ecstatic when there was no sense of Maya gripping my mind or stealing anything from me. But of course, there was no power left for her to steal.I prayed and pleaded and ran, Rory and the others coming in my wake. And the moment I broke through that door in my wolf—the only power left to me anymore—everything slowed. Though my body whipped and my mind was singularly focused, it was as if everything happened in slow motion.I caught a bare glimpse of Jesse on the bed, and at first my heart leaped. She was moving, awake, aware,

~ JESSE ~I was too tired to do more than lift my hands to his neck, so I just curled my face into his chest and let him settle us into the chair, cradled in his arms with my ass in his lap.When he’d sat, I had my head resting on his shoulder and my body curled in his arms.“Do you hurt?” he asked quickly.“No, just tired, like I said.”I felt him relax a little then and another chill started in my blood.“Cazz… what’s happened?” I asked quietly.He turned his head to meet my eyes and lifted his hand to comb hair back from my face. His throat bobbed, but his touch was g

~ CASIMIR ~I came out of the bathing room after a long bath rubbing my hair with a towel, to find my mate standing in the middle of the chamber with her arms folded and looking sternly at my daughter, who sat on the floor in nothing but a diaper, with her chubby legs straight out. She, too, had her arms folded and her lips pursed in the perfect reflection of her mother.The two glared at each other and half my heart went cold, while the other half wanted to splutter with laughter.“Abigail, I have told you—”“No!”Our daughter could only get her tongue around a few words so far, but
