Riding on the back of a wolf who was almost as large as I was had to be one of the most amazing experiences of my life, but the magic of what was happening was taken away by the fact that I held the most beautiful woman I had ever met in my arms, clinging to her for dear life, as she struggled to breath.
In the distance a large brick and iron gate began to come into view, I thought that we would begin to slow down, find a gate through. Instead, Fenris sped up, when I realized his intentions, I ducked my head down, burying my face in his fur as I clung to him and Eva with all my might, trying like hell to make sure we didn’t slip off and straight onto the spikes at the top of said fence.
I felt the moment he pushed off the ground, soaring through the air, I was to afraid to look, scared to see out death coming up to meet us before I had even had a chance to know the amazing woman in my arms, but instead of freefalling through the air, we
Thank you so much for reading! Hope you are enjoying the journey!
For what felt like days I sat there next to her, my hands wrapped around hers, begging her to open her eyes and just let me know she was okay; but it couldn’t have been more than a few hours. Lila had kicked us out of the room once Eva was stable, insisting we did not need to be present while her and another woman whose name I did not catch, cleaned her up and got her dressed. The thirty minutes they had kicked us out for had me on edge, I had this need to be with her, to be beside her. When the door finally opened and Lila said we could go back in, I raced to her side. Lila had cleaned he blood from Eva’s pale skin, braided her long hair to the side, and put her in a soft spaghetti strapped purple night dress, before slipping her under the heavy comforter they had also replaced with a none blood stained one. Laying on the bed beside her, I noticed after a while that they refused to leave me alone with her, someone else was always in the room, eyes train
“Wake up Eva, come on wild wolfy, you need to wake up now.” Wild wolfy? Only one person called me that, and he was dead. Of course, since I was surrounded by blackness, perhaps I had moved on to the next realm as well. “Get up Goldie locks, your mate is waiting on you to wake up. He needs you, Evangeline.” Goldie locks? Wild Wolfy? Where was I? Those voices sounded so familiar as well. Soft chuckling filled my mind from two distinct voices. I wanted to open my eyes and look for them, see the two men I had loved when I barely knew what love was. But I knew that if I opened my eyes, I wouldn’t see them, I’d be back in the real world, and though I wanted Valen as well, a few more minutes with my first loves wouldn’t hurt, right? “Galden? Neil? I don’t understand.” “We told you we’d always be with you.” Galden’s voi
Pulling the blanket tighter around my shivering body I tried to conserve as much of my own body heat within the fabric as possible. There was no way of telling time down here, with no windows I had no idea when it was day or night, so I hadn’t a clue how long I’d been in this freezing and desolate dungeon; and that was not an exaggeration, it was a dungeon. The ground was concrete, with floor to ceiling bars going into the rock ceiling and walls. Though unlike normal bars which would be darker and made of perhaps iron or steel, these bars appeared to be polished to perfection and silver in color. Though if this was where they kept enemies of their own kind and they were in fact weakened by silver, it made sense that these bars weren’t just painted silver, but in fact pure. Blake, the redhead healer, and his mate, Lila, the beautiful model, came down to see me four times, bringing hot food and blankets each time. I had enough blankets to
We sat there for hours just talking. Well, I asked questions and he talked. Valen told me about growing up as an only child with two loving parents, about graduating high school early and going to college and then med school. Finally, we broached the subject of his current life and he seemed to shut down a little, not as ecstatic to spill all the details. We were lying on the bed, propped on our elbows while we faced each other, close but not touching, as he told me about what he’d been working on lately. “Well, I’m currently working on a cancer trial, trying to create a drug that will cure a certain childhood cancer that currently has no viable treatment.” “That sounds interesting. Cancer is a sickness that kills a lot of humans, right?” I’d heard about it in TV shows but had never discussed it at link before. “Yes, it takes a lot of human lives, is it not a problem for werewolves?” Valen sat up a bit straighter,
I was out of the bed in a flash, moving for my closet and dragging comfortable clothes from the drawers, grey cotton sweatpants and a white tank top along with soft cotton slip on shoes. I was wrapping my hair around itself at the nape of my neck and securing it with a hair tie when I walked out, Alaric and Valen were glaring at one another, but no words were being spoken. As I padded quickly back into the room both men turned to look at me, Alaric nodded his head and turned to exit the room, leaving the door open behind him, knowing I would be following closely behind.. Valen moved forward, blocking my path with his larger body, his adorably mismatched eyes wide with confusion. “Where are you going? Who is Genesis?” “I don’t have time to explain this now, but I will when I get back okay? Just stay here and listen to your guards, I need to know you are safe or I won’t be able to focus on the fight.” Pushing up onto my tiptoes I brushed m
“I see you learned my identity; you always were a smart girl.” Stepping closer to the brick and steel wall, Genesis crossed his arms over his chest and raked his eyes over me, the action made my stomach flip in disgust. “Though I guess you aren’t a girl anymore, even if you didn’t grow very tall, and you are very pale, don’t you train outdoors?” “I think I have you to thank for both of those things, Uncle. After all, fifteen years in a hole in the ground allows for a not-so-great diet and no sun.” I knew this was a reach, we had no proof Genesis had thrown me in my prison, but I wanted to know. I needed him to admit it. “You can’t still be mad about that, after all, look who you’ve become! I did that for you.” His dark blue eyes bore into mine, and I could see the crazy there, he believed everything he said. “I wasn’t this person until after my mother and father found me, taught me, trained me. I was a weak, scared
Shots rang out through the air as the snipers attempted to inject liquid silver bullets into Genesis, an attempt to slow him down and give us a higher chance of capturing him without any more fatalities on our side. My body slammed into his with a force hard enough that the sound of the impact vibrated through the trees around us. Sliding back along the forest floor Genesis and I slashed and bit at each other in an attempt to get the upper hand, the first drops of blood to hit the leaves was my own, but his soon joined it. “You think you stand a chance, child?” Laughed my uncles voice through my mind as we broke apart and began to circle one another. Apparently, it didn’t matter that he was no longer a part of the pack, our family link was still intact, similar with Alaric and me. “I’ve trained my entire life to lead Amethyst Mists army, you have no idea what you are up against.” “And you have
“I’m going now, my people need me, and I need you to do as I asked. I love you Valentine Cross.” Just like that she was gone, walked out the door. A young woman was commanding me, she was almost ten years younger than me, someone who still couldn’t even buy her own alcohol. Everyone here listened to her, she truly led these people, how had such responsibility landed on such young shoulders? Wait, had she just said she love me? How was that possible? She’d just met me, there was no way she already felt so strongly… was there? Everything here was so backwards and confusing. I was a full-grown man, a doctor, a father, and yet I felt like a teenager floundering in the rough water of high school all over again. I needed to get my bearings back and my feet planted firmly on the ground. Or I needed to get out. I needed to get out of here, fast. Before she returned if possible. When she was around, I found it hard to force
