SCARLETT POV
I feel so guilty and ashamed after allowing H or Silas to get the best of me and give in to the pleasure he offered. That is one reason Cara and I don’t like drinking from him, the pleasure that comes from it is too hard to fight and I can’t help but give in, as he never allows me to mix with others and I know he does this so that the only comfort I get is from him. I miss being able to actually interact with the clans like I use to.We travel at a fast pace; I wanted to take Isabella with us but as soon as I saw that he had tied her up that he had reached his limit of putting up with her. It was so good to have the extra company while it lasted. We don’t stop and when we do, it is only for a short amount of time so that Silas can check and make sure we are heading in the right direction to where ever we are going.
I feel the moment we enter Uncle Noah’s territory, but we don’t stay in it for very long before we l
SILAS (H) /WRATHPOVI stand and bow as King Marcus enters the room, no doubt coming at Queen Clementine's request. I know I shouldn't have done it in front of her, but I couldn't stop Wrath as Scarlett disobeyed what she was told to do again. Marcus walks over and stands in front of Scarlett. I smile a little as she flinches at his touch, he then tilts her head a little and looks at the bruises that are starting from where I slapped her, he then looks to me and says.''Did you do that?" I bow a little more as I nod and reply, "Your Highness, I gave her an order, and she disobeyed. I am still teaching her, her place!"I should have known it was coming, as one of his only rules was to never touch a female outside the privacy of the bedroom, especially not in front of Queen Clementine. So it doesn't surprise me when Marcus send
WRATH / SILAS (H) POVI am woken up by Scarlett's sudden movement; I run my hand gently up and down her back to her shoulder and I gently pull so she lays back down and cuddles into my side. I kiss the top of her head and do what I used to do; I ask."My princess, are you okay? What did you see?"For the first time in ages, her defences are down, and she actually talks to me,"Ryker found Isabella, but he can't protect her. The Alphas are coming and they will find both of whom they seek. These Alphas are bad news. They force their females to have many babies that they sell to whoever is willing to pay.""Scarlett, who are they after?""Isabella and me!""How do we stop them?""You can't, only Ryker can and he must give something or someone up to save us both!""Are you sure? How long we got until they find you?"
SILAS / WRATH POVMarcus had been in my room for a long time and every now and then, I would hear Scarlett scream. I didn't want to share her with him, but I couldn't deny him, either. I owe him my life from when he found me weak, injured and left for dead after having another run-in with the Vampire King. I don't know what he saw in me that day as he could have just killed me but instead; he took me back to his pack house and allowed his Queen to care for me.Again, I don't know why, but once I was at full strength, he trained me more and did it himself. Over that time, I guess we became as much of friends that a rogue werewolf could be with a vampire. I sit in the sitting room going over that time as I sip on a glass of blood when I hear him finally come out of the room; he enters the sitting room and goes over to one of the cabinets, pulling out a bottle of whiskey. He pours a bit into a glass and then faces me,"That is one fine female you have
RYKER / CHRISTOPHER POVI pull Isabella into my lap and I kiss her, as I believe she will fight me if I don't distract her first. I am having trouble controlling Christopher. He wants control; he wants to mark his mate. I pull back from the kiss as she tenses and starts to struggle. I whisper,"Shh... Shh... Calm down Isabella, I will not hurt you and I will not go any further than you are willing to let me.."She stops struggling and curls into my chest, taking deep breaths and finally relaxing a little. I listen as she hesitantly asks,"W..wh..who a..ar..are y..yo..you?"It is like she isn't or is scared to talk, but I smile at her sweet voice and look down at her as I introduce myself"My name is Ryker!"I slowly get to my feet, still holding Isabella close to my chest. I make my way out of the house and meet back up with Nathaniel out the front. I don't miss the fact that Isabella tenses again in my arms as she sees Nathanie
ISABELLA POV"May I come and sit with you?"I can't believe he's an Alpha, and he asked for my permission to do something. I nod my head slowly; I am still not really sure what he wants from me. I can smell the pine-bark, pine-needles and spice, but I still haven't heard from Zoey. It must be a side effect of the cord that Silas wrapped around my wrists and ankles. "Can I ask? When I entered the house, you were undoing what looked like a cord from your wrists. Why didn't the Alpha's see you if you were tied?" "Are you sure you want to know? You might think I am tainted." "I could never think that..." "I am part witch!"I wait for it. The disgusted look, Alpha Giovanni and all the other males used to give me, but he surprises me with a look of fascination instead. He goes to say something but is interrupted by a knock on the door. As he gets to
ALPHA GIOVANNII turn back to her quickly and slap her hard across the face, knocking her to the floor. I move up to her and give her a quick hard kick in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her so she again can't say any spells. I reach down and pull the string from my pants. Just as she is starting to move again rolling onto her hands and knees and trying to crawl to the other end of the caravan away from me as I was still in front of the door.I move and grab her ankle, pulling her back towards me. I move to my knees and straddle her lower back; I lean forward with the string in both hands and wrap it around her throat, pulling tightly. Just before she passes out, I release the string enough for her to take a breath. I then wrap the string a couple more times around her neck, making sure she can breathe but can't speak. I grab her hands and tie her wrists, using the same string that is around h
ISABELLA POVHe then makes me look back at him as he picks me up and sits me on a nearby log. He then steps up between my legs and says,"Talk to me, Isabella!"I take a deep breath and tell him why I don't use my magick, "I was, Eleven..."* Flashback *Once Alpha Giovanni found out that my magick had surfaced just after I turned ten, he would watch me closely. With his added interest, I then knew I was different. I just didn't know why. I lost all my friends, and they started to pick on me, calling me a freak and a mistake. I was hurt, but I learnt to live with it. A few times I would walk around the pack doing my errands and play absentmindedly with my magick in my hands.All the females in the pack were bought up knowing when a male speaks you listen and do what he says or be punished, it took me a little while to learn and abide by that rule but after one bad beating from o
ALPHA GIOVANNI POVI woke up laying next to the witch my wolf and I had fun with last night and as I turn over and look at her; I was right after his fun last night. My wolf killed her. I will have to set it up for this caravan to catch alight so that I can get rid of the body. Luckily, my wolf knows how to kill without it being able to be tracked back to us, otherwise the King would have had my head years ago.I get up, get dressed and then make it look like the built-in stove got a gas leak. I set a time-delay fuse and then leave the caravan. It was still early, so there was no one around. I head to the hotel we are booked in. As soon as I enter the room, I go into the bathroom and wash the scent of that witch off of me.Once done, I meet up with Santiago and we make our rounds of the town, until we end up back at the small house we followed Isabella's scent to yesterday. Her scent is still strong, so she must have still been here when we were here. The little
