Harlen shook her head. "Don't worry about it Vienna. I wouldn't let Cassar kill him, and I'm not going to let you kill him.""Why?" I asked. Why wouldn't she want the male that hurt her be sent to his grave?"He's an Alpha." She shrugged sadly. "It would do more harm then good. I'm not letting the people I care about get hurt because of my past."I nodded my head, understanding. She turned back around to leave, but I wasn't finished yet. "Do you have any cash?"She scrunched up her face in confusion, but pulled out her wallet in her back pocket. "All I have is a five.""That's fine." I told her honestly. She handed me the bill."Why do you want it?"I gave her a soft but deadly smirk. "It'll be taken care of."She looked at me quizzically, but didn't ask. That's what I liked about Harlen, she never asked questions that didn't need answers to. She left the room, softly closing the door.I promised myself a long time ago that no matter how small the payment was, I would never do another
"Shortcake, I have a key for every room in this house." He smirked at me.My eyes grew at the revelation. I glared at him. "That's an invasion of privacy you snake. And don't call me shortcake.""You call me cheesecake, I am going to call you shortcake." He nodded at me, his smirk only growing the harder I glared. "Because you're short.""Get out." I ordered, pointing at the door."Aww come on shortcake. Don't be like that." He whined.I growled at him as I flung myself on top of my pillow. I ignored the cold as my blankets were now in a clump by Cassar's feet."Why are you even hear?" I whined."We are going to go for a run." Cassar told me."A what?" I blanked."A run." He said slower. "Go outside, enjoy nature, get some exercise.""You mean to tell me, that you woke me up ridiculously early to run?"Cass gave me a flat look. "Yes.""No.""What?""I'm not going."Cassar growled. "You're going to come with me if you like it or not. So will you be leaving here with or without your dig
I was not going to be shifting anytime soon. I really didn't feel like being murdered today."No.""What now?" He asked, his patience running thin."I'm not shifting." I said, jutting out my hip.If he found out I was the Silver Fox, I would for sure be skinned alive. Wolves didn't exactly appreciate my skill set and experience."Why?""Because I can't shift." I lied."Shortcake, again with the lying?""I don't want to shift.""You have not shifted since you got here. Are you not dying to run in fox form?"I was, a little. But I still wasn't shifting."Okay, okay, okay. The truth is, for someone to see my fox form, it's like a blessing. And I'm sorry but you just don't make the cut." I told him honestly.He gave me a flat look. He was about to respond when we heard three wolves walking over to us.Before getting too close to us the wolves went behind some trees and shifted into three males. When they came back out each of them were wearing a pair of pants."Alpha Cassar." The male in
"You're mine." Cassar growled, ignoring his cousin."I'm not yours! Last time I checked, you can't own a person.""That's what mates are. The only person you do own. I own you and you own me.""You just proved my point. You don't own me because I am not your mate."Cassar rolled his eyes, not even bothering to acknowledge me.I looked around noticing that the other males had started to flee from the situation. Aiden turned slightly to wink at me before he shifted into his own grey wolf."What happened to the intruder?" I asked Cassar. Why was it so important to keep this intruder a secret?Cassar's face turned grave. "Do you know many foxes?""Why?""The intruder is a fox."My body froze for a mili-second. "And?""Did he come for you, or is it just a coincidence?"I doubted it was a coincidence, but was it something for me to worry about?"What colour of hair?""Pardon?" Cassar asked."What colour of hair does he have?" I asked again."Red.""Then I don't care.""You don't care?""If
"What's out there Vienna?" Jazmine asked, her voice small but brave.I quickly risked a glance at her. Her eyes were cautious, glancing around the tree line as she held onto her sister's and Oro's hands.Quietly, I whispered to her. "When I tell you, Jazmine and Lucas grab the little kids and run for home. You find someone and get somewhere safe.""What are you going to do?" Lucas whispered."Do you understand me?" I asked seriously. There was no way these kids were getting hurt today.I cursed the fact I hadn't noticed sooner. I was too trusting that Cassar's land was safe enough for me to let my guard down. I should have known better. If I could get around the guards, others could too.I didn't let my thoughts distract me though as I gave another warning growl. This one not quite as gutsy as the last.This time, another growl answered mine.I glared at the trees, the exact spot I knew he was hiding.I gave a final look at the kids before I stood up straight. I rolled my shoulders, a
Turning my hands into my claws. I jumped upon the twin who wanted turn those kids into soup. He only had time to take one step back before my claws were over his neck spilling blood.With a thud his knees hit the ground. He desperately tried clawing at his throat as the blood poured out. Then he fell forward. Laying on the ground motionless. Dead.His brother didn't even move, shocked and staring at the body of his dead twin.I didn't always resort to killing but desperate times call for desperate measures. And I don't think anyone would be missing these two."What did you do?" The living brother whispered, still staring at the body. "What did you do?""I killed him, what does it look like?" I asked, inspecting my bloodied nails."He was my brother." Then he looked at me, shouting at the top of his lungs. "That was my brother.""Well look on the bright side. Now you get the half brain all to yourself." I mocked him.That's all it took for him to lung at me. Roaring at the top of his l
Two weeks. It had been two weeks since I met a couple of rogues in the woods. And nothing had changed. I was no closer to figuring out how to break the stupid blood-tie.The only good news was that I was finally able to move my shoulder. Apparently the rogue did some serious damage, but thanks to my shifter healing I didn't have to worry to much.But according to Cassar, I still wasn't allowed to do anything strenuous. Which was fine by me, I wasn't planning on it anyways.The only plans on my agenda was to destroy a blood-tie. And I was trying.I had spoken to almost every wolf on the territory, and nothing. Nobody knew what to do, not that they would give that information up freely. Still nothing.I had scoured the packs library for anything that could be related to blood-ties, but nothing came up. I even tried googling it. The only thing that came up was a séance, and everyone knew that was a load of crap.I attempted to trick Cassar into telling me how to break it, but he wouldn't
"Because your such a prick." I laughed. Cassar rolled his eyes, but the corners of his lips twitched up."Where are you from?" He asked. And there it is. The hard questions."Mexico." I lied.He snagged the jar away from me. "No peanut butter for lying.""Nacido y criado en Mexico. Lo juro." I cried out in Spanish, trying to grab the peanut butter jar from him.Cassar gave me a weird look, not understanding."I said, born and raised in Mexico. I swear." I translated for the knuckle head.He kept the jar away from me. His eyes unblinking. "You're not from Mexico."It was a joke, I obviously wasn't born and raised in Mexico, but still I cried in agony over my peanut butter. He still didn't submit."Fine," I huffed giving in. "I'm from Uganda, Africa."Cassar came closer to me, his face directly in front of mine. A teasing smile on his lips. "Now Vienna, do we have to have a chat about lying?""Ni kweli ingawa." I said in Swahili, a pout on my lips. "It's true though."He smiled at my at
