Chapter Nine
Kennedy awoke to the sound of laughter. She stretched lazily on a very comfortable bed that felt nothing like the back-breaking spring bed she had the misfortune of sleeping on at home, all she felt beneath her was foam she seemed to sink inside.
She stopped mid-stretch as that thought brought her crashing down to reality. Where the hell was she? She sat up swiftly, the movement causing a sharp pain to shoot through her head, she grimaced, but was no less alert. Sharp eyes studied her surroundings, noting it looked like a compartment in a plane, albeit a very fancy one. She had never entered an airplane in her life, but she had seen enough ads on them to know what the interior of one ought to look like, and none of those adverts had a compartment this luxurious. The bed she had only just been enjoying wasn’t the only furniture in the room, there was a small chair across it attached

“Sir, the car is ready.” Another voice followed Kylie’s; a deep, male one she recognized as the black man…or was it wolf? From earlierEmbarrassment and reality washed over Kennedy. Christ! How much of her wanton moaning had Kylie heard? She was supposed to be the logical one of them, yet here she was, shamelessly riding a man and thinking of having sex with him while her sister was in the next room, and even worse, one she had been kicking and fighting only minutes earlier. How would she face her sister now?Soft lips pressing against her jaw and then her temple as he lowered her to her feet pulled her away from her thoughts. Shame wouldn’t let her look at him, but Rinaldi wasn’t having that, he placed his hand under her chin and lifted her face to look at him, his eyes were so beautiful up closeand weren’t as dark as she had thought, they were much light

The arrow zipped through the air and hit the target with a precision any veteran marksman would be envious of, splitting the last arrow to hit the bull’s-eye in two.It was a rare precision in these parts, or any at all in the entire country, it’s rarity made it only available to the sight of a few people once in a long while. Some treasures were shared with others, and others were to be enjoyed in the solitude of the one who possessed them.This was one of those gifts that rarely left the secrets of the woods. It was shrouded brilliantly, even though in existence for more than five decades, only the forests witnessed those rare moments when focus met resilience and precision was born. For many years, only the forests had known, until recently when a few people were welcomed into the fold, but even they, seldom participated or witnessed the kind of peace only archery could bring to an otherwise troubled soul.&

Kylie couldn’t sit still the entire ride to the house, her face was either glued to the window, taking in the sights of Connecticut, or she was asking Rinaldi random questions, most of which sounded ridiculous to the ears of any right-thinking person. Kennedy had been largely silent since they began their trip from the airport, she sat a distance away from her and Rinaldi; the other two occupants in the limo, her face hadn’t left the window, at no point had she interjected in their conversation. She was unusually quiet.Kylie wanted to ask what had happened when Rinaldi took her into the room, but her sister looked much too shaken and she didn’t want to bother her with what Kenny might call ‘foolish’ questions, she figured she would let her in on it whenever she was ready. Kenny never did anything on another person’s terms, she didn’t know a soul who could force her sister into doing anything she was de

Cassandra couldn’t be at ease, she felt that something was about to happen. She couldn’t quite put a finger to it, but a part of her was anxious.Since Dinah left her room, she had been uneasy. She hoped the girl hadn’t gone to Caleb to spill her guts out, but knowing how much she worshipped him, she most likely had. He was yet to show up here though which made her wonder, had he perhaps disregarded the message?Even as much as a small part of her didn’t want to see the man, another side wouldn’t stop wishing he would just show up, that side that kept invading her thoughts. That side that kept telling her to do things or at least kept shoving freaky imageries in her head when it wasn’t telling her what to do. She almost felt insane.Her eyes went to the door, contemplating the sense in walking out for the first time since she regained consciousness. What w

“You better point me to whichever room you have my cousin locked in or I’ll rip your balls off you.” Kennedy threatened the big man that had brought them all the way from Michigan to be some circus shows. They had been in the foyer for ten minutes and the only people they had seen were some random men and women staring at them like they were aliens from outer space.Sure, she noticed that none of the over twenty people who had suspiciously walked by was black, but they were in freaking America! Surely they weren’t getting the funny looks because of their race.Rinaldi had suggested they find somewhere to seat in one of what she was sure was many living rooms in this mansion, but she vehemently refused moving further than the distance she could see the exit before they saw who they came for. Now she was really starting to think these people had other reasons for bringing them here and they had

He knew the minute they arrived upon pack grounds that she was here. As soon as he stepped into the house, her delicious scent wafted into his nose and sent him into overdrive, he ran to his wing of the house, house staff giving him curious looks as he sped past them, but none crazy enough to get in his way. It was a rare sight to find him running through the house, Roy was a big guy and he knew that enough to not rattle the occupants of the house by running, but there were exceptions and today was one of those days that he had to implement such exceptions.He was in the bathroom in record time and scrubbed through his large frame even faster. The excitement of his wolf to meet their mate resonated through him, causing him to smile stupidly at intervals throughout his preparation whenever he remembered her pretty face. She seemed so delicate in the picture though, that thought gave him pause. He was a brute in every sense of the

The feast that awaited them was nothing like they had expected, the table was set with all types of food, some of which none of the three women had ever seen. It looked like a feast for at least ten people, not the small meal Caleb had made it sound like.The hall in which they ate was large, like the rest of the house and indeed the entire compound, it obviously served more than just one purpose as it could easily be converted to a grand hall once the furniture was moved. The table was a medium sized one, though one could easily deduce such a house would have a much larger table at their disposal. It could contain eight people, but only six of them sat for dinner. Caleb was at the head of the table, Cassandra sat right next to him by his left, Kylie was next to her and Kennedy, next to Kylie. On Caleb’s right sat Rinaldi and Roy.Kylie’s head was buried in her food, but her cutlery didn’t seem as interested in the

Kylie’s thoughts were going haywire, she didn’t know if she was to run back into the toilet and shut the door or run towards the direction she and Lydia had come from, screaming for help. She doubted either was a smart idea; the former because he looked like he wouldn’t have to exert much energy to bring the door down if he wished and the latter because she could bet he would have his hand over her mouth before the first decibel escaped her lungs.So rather than do any of the two options she had in mind, she remained frozen on the spot.He noticed her lack of further movement and smiled at her- or at least she thought that was what he was aiming for when he contorted his features, “I didn’t get to introduce myself properly, I’m Roy.” He spoke up, although his voice was still that rumbling baritone, it didn’t sound as harsh as it did when he had announced
