I hated being in pain. I shivered at the idea.“Say we can’t handle it. How would it know?” I asked, starting to freak out just a little that I might just fuck this up for them all.Tabitha offered me a kind smile with crinkling eyes.“You’ll pass. But should the pain get too much, simply call out that you yield, and the spell will release you. Any of you. Keep in mind that uttering those words will not affect our bargain that was struck, and that this is a one-time thing.“This link, this particular spell, especially in this strength, can only be attempted once,” she warned, stirring one last time before rolling her shoulders back and placing her hands on the table.My heart raced harder. I didn’t want to fail, I didn’t want to lose the opportunity or yield, but the idea of being in pain had me second-guessing everything.“I’m not so good with pain,” I stuttered, my skin raising as she blew through the steam and it swirled angrily.“Maybe not, but it is a test, a challenge, and those

“It was expected, but you are not hurt, and that was the only protection detail I had.So since I’ve somehow managed to do that, I am going to go find a female to fuck and regain some of my magic I just burned through. Have a nice night,” Cain breathed, then disappeared.I blinked after him. The wolves had been trying to hurt me? I frowned, then turned to them. They were all breathing hard, with beady eyes.“If Cain hadn’t been here…”“We wouldn’t have hurt you,” Derik snapped.I looked around the room and hoped that was true because my skin tore easier than most of the things they had destroyed.Kai kissed my shoulder from where I sat next to him, then up my face, and then his fingers dragged up my naked thighs and I licked my lips, the touch so damn potent.“I passed my test within seconds, Little Human. I ragdolled them a little trying to keep them from shifting near you or accidentally using you as a target for the rage their pain put them in, but with Cain’s magic, we got there.”

39. The TrekThe Summit. A mountain with three clear sections, even through the snow that bit into my skin.I huddled close to Kai and Brax as Derik stepped ahead, his feet crunching in the white beneath us. It was windy and horrible, the squeal in the air reminding me of humans screaming.I shivered and tucked my hands around me, underneath my coats that had made me sweat my ass off the entire carriage ride to the entrance of the Summit.The entrance had been hidden to me for most of it.We had ridden in the carriage to the flatlands between Water area and my villages, but to me it had looked the same as usual: a vast, flat grass area stretching up to the dense forest lining our borders and wrapped around to Forest area.And then there had been a shimmering transparent wave in front of us, and the alphas had said we were there.Stepping through the portal had been a shock to the system, the intense cold hitting my body so fiercely it had taken my breath away, but then they had starte

I had a bruise on my lip from biting it so hard, trying to concentrate on all the jagged rock coming up at my face, and I was so over it.I plonked down on the next flat section that was just another step before more rocks and leaned back against the rough terrain.“This is so stupid. We’re trying to stop the vampires from forcing me to go with them based on a price I shouldn’t have to pay, all because Elias was an asshole all those years ago, and now that he’s back, I need to get to the Summit to get answers on how to help and all I’m doing is climbing rocks.“He could be out there using more human sacrifices right now,” I sulked, the cold and pain getting to me.It was still snowing, only lightly, but it was enough to get to me. It was too cold, and the wind was getting stronger, and my skin was stinging. I just wanted to get it over and done with.Brax was ahead this time, sniffing the air, finding the best routes. He actually seemed to be enjoying himself.He was running and leapi

“I told you before, once we leave here, we have no magic. We’ll be vulnerable like you are. No shifting, and we won’t be able to protect you. We’re making sure they aren’t waiting for that.”“But the witches?”“Are only allowed to maintain the balance, not interfere. What happens to one, happens to all here. So either it hasn’t killed whoever pissed them off or the vampires purposely did this, came up with bad intentions knowing we would be vulnerable and they would be able to stall long enough,” Derik explained, and I gulped.“So we’re just going to sit here and wait?”My alphas looked at each other before Brax nodded. “It’s safer.”I sighed. Maybe it was, but I couldn’t survive on no food like they could. There was water in the hut, the witches had granted that reprieve, but it wasn’t enough to stop my stomach rumbling.“Can you still taste the vampire?” Brax asked, and I shook my head.“Not since we heard it ages ago,” I said, and Brax nodded, stuck in his own head. I didn’t pry.*
