Renee's POVI could finally open my eyes and the Doctor said I could probably go home today. I was finally awake long enough to talk to Amber. Either Amber or Beta Jonathan stayed with me at all times apparently even though I wasn't conscious most of the time. I felt bad for them, I knew it couldn't be comfortable, I told them they could leave, I didn't have to have a babysitter, but apparently, it was the Alpha's orders that I must have a babysitter at all times. The thought of Alpha Ethan’s protectiveness made me smile, but I tried to tell myself it didn’t mean anything. If I was an Alpha and a member of my pack was attacked, I would also assign security.I was finally feeling more myself, but I was still very tired. The doctor said the damage from the poison was extensive and it was expected that it would take time for me to recover. Honestly, he seemed surprised I was able to survive it at all. Alpha Ethan still wasn't back from the trial, but when I closed my eyes all I could s
Alpha Ethan (POV) I almost drove off the road, what was Renee doing to me. When she said she couldn't wait for me, all I could see was her writhing underneath me on the bed. I let a mmmm go through the link. I half expected her to close the link as it was silent, but she didn't. I couldn't resist the urge. "I can't wait to taste you again" I purred though the link. "Only this time I want to taste more than just your lips." I definitely thought she would close the link then, what was I doing?? she just recovered and all I could think about was ripping her clothes off. I was going to scare her away but then her sexy voice came back through the link."Then come and get me." Her voice almost a breathy pant. That time I did run off the road, luckily, I was able to recover and not crash. I got to focus. But I couldn't leave her hanging. "I will be there before you know it." I growled excitedly "Mmmm" she purredI gulped and did my best to focus on the road"Umm as much as I hate to ba
Alpha Ethan (POV) Damn it! why wasn't she answering me? I cursed under my breath. I could barely feel the link, what was wrong. The council was closer to Amber's house than I was. I should have brought her to the pack house with me. I should have just gone and got her. I tried to link Amber, but I couldn’t get through to her either.When I got to Amber's house, I could see the entourage of black SUVs in front of the house. A council member was restraining Amber on the front lawn of the house as she was crying and trying to break free. Then I see three men carrying Renee out. She must be sedated because she is laying there almost lifeless, but I would know if she were dead. My wolf is at the surface "HOW DARE THEY!" I growl getting out of my truck at lighting speed. "Stop! Alpha Ethan!” a council member yells in my direction "You have no right!" I growl back "We have every right; we are the council" “What have you done to her?”“We have sedated her, she was too emotional, she m
"Meeting Now!" I blast through the mind link to my advisors and top warriors. Jonathan and Amber get into my truck, and we go back to the pack house. Jonathan mind linked the details on the way back to get everyone up to speed. Time was of the essence. Everyone was already waiting when we got back. My most trusted advisor Bill was already pouring over the laws. Bill was about sixty years old and his once brown hair was mostly grey now, his silver frame glasses were usually so far down his nose, they looked like they might fall off any second. Bill prided himself on his knowledge of pack history and laws. As soon as I walked in, he looked to me and said, "I don't understand how this could have happened, I mean there is no law specifically against it, but it's never been done before, especially not against someone's will." He was shaking his head. " Are you sure she didn't want to go?" "They had to carry her out, drugged, she definitely did not want this!" I growled “she wanted me,
Alpha Ethan (POV) I could pull Joey’s beating heart from his chest, but the rest of what Amber said was like music to my ears. "Ok then. Maybe kidnapping her" I paused "well technically rescuing her is an option." I looked to Bill to get his opinion. "The mate bond should protect you from backlash" Bill said hesitantly "but the council could possibly still punish you since you didn’t actually know you were mates before the quote "crime"". I chewed my lip trying to think"But" Bills voice sounds through the room again " I don't see a way to get her back without the possibility of pissing of the council, I think this is the best option to get our Luna back." When he called her my Luna I couldn't help but smile. My Luna, I am coming for you. "Ok we need a strategy. I don't know much about the Grey Lake Pack’s land, as it isn’t a neighboring pack there never was a reason for me to study it and it's over eight hours away." I couldn't barge in killing everyone that challenged me that w
Renee’s POV I was almost asleep in my room when I heard Amber's voice ring out downstairs. "Why are you here? What is the meaning of this? Answer me!!" She sounded startled and was almost pleading for answers. I heard several people coming up the stairs."What's happening?" I link Amber startled "The Elder Council, they say they are here for you." She cries in my head "Get out, they are coming" I tried to move quickly out the window. But I still wasn't fully healed, and they were too fast. I no sooner got to the window and got it open when three men barged into my room and shot something into my back. I cried out whimpering. I tried to link Ethan, then Amber but nothing would go out. What the hell was that. Why did the Elder Council want me? My head started to spin and before I knew it, I felt my body slumping weak into the floor. I saw the men coming forward to take me. I couldn't hardly move."Ethan, I want to see Ethan" the words barely left my lips, but the men paid them no
Ethan's POV With everyone having taken part in the blood pact their lips were now sealed unless I gave my permission to speak of these secrets. I turn my eye back to Bill waiting for the additional information. He senses my stare and takes the hint. "The Vander’s were said to be some of the last vampire Hybrids." He says cautiously, not sure how I will process this information. Vampire hybrids, we had all heard of, but they were basically extinct. The only way to make one would be for an almost pure vampire and werewolf to mate. Something like that hasn't happened in a very long time. They say the hybrids don't dilute though and it's said the gifts don't weaken either when passed down the line. The males that inherited the genes would never receive any gifts it would lie dormant in their systems but females on the other hand could possibly have additional powers. "All hybrids will have superior speed, healing ability, and strength." Bill continued "If females have additional gif
Renee's POVTo my surprise Joey pulled his own wrist to his mouth and bites it. Then offers it to me. I pull back from it, only for him to force it to my mouth. "You will pledge your life to me" he says through gritted teeth.No way in hell am I pledging my life to this jerk. I sling my body back; Joey doesn't break his hold as I cause us to fall over. My back is now pressed to the bottom of the seat and Joey is half laying on top of me with his wrist still pushed to my mouth. "If you wanted to get more comfortable, you just had to ask" he laughs as he rakes his eyes over my body. My face was wrinkled in anger, I tried to turn my head away from his wrist. But he was holding my head with his other hand. I could feel his nasty blood trickling past my lips no matter how much I tried to seal them closed. The blood started filling my mouth as I refused to swallow it. He finally pulled his wrist back away from my mouth and looked at me expectantly, I imagine he was waiting for me to say
