Prisoner To My Mate CHAPTER 21
“Explain,” I say when we’re all seated. “As I said, I’m a witch, and I’m here to help you enter vampire territory,” Ekaterina says. “I got that part, but I don't understand why you would help us. If anything, you shouldn’t want to help the werewolf King's mate find her mother.” “I know a normal witch won't, but I’m not just any witch. I’m a witch who is alive because of the werewolf King.” “Tell me how that’s possible.” “I saved her from near-death,” Theo says, being vague. “Really? You saved a witch?” I ask, surprised he did. His Mom hated witches, so I assumed she must’ve passed down her hatred before she died. “It's surprising, right?” Ekaterina says, smiling. “Yes, it's shocking given that his mother is the reason witches and werewolves everywhere don’t get along.” “Yes, but Theodore doesn’t hate witches. Or he didn’t when he met me.” “So, he hates witches, but he doesn’t hate you? You just called him by his name. You two must be really close.” “Yes, we are,” Ekaterina
Prisoner To My Mate CHAPTER 22
The following morning, I woke up more tired than usual. I also feel very cold. Ekaterina made the cave warm last night with her fire, so I shouldn’t be feeling cold. I try to stand up but find it challenging. Water drips from my forehead and lands on my hand. I look up to see if the cave has a hole and water is leaking through, but it doesn’t. Bringing my eyes back down, I notice my hands are wet and not only my hands my neck and face. Why am I sweating? I’m not hot. I’m cold. I try to lift myself off the ground, but I can’t. “Anastasia , what’s wrong?” Theo asks, rushing to my side. He must have noticed me struggling to get up. “I don’t know,” I whisper. My throat feels sore, and it hurts to speak. What’s going on? I look Theo in the eyes, pleading with him to help me. I’m scared. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. “Do you feel pain?” he asks, worried. I nod my head, saying yes. “Where do you feel the pain” I use my hands to gesture all over my body. “Do you know why you’re
Prisoner To My Mate CHAPTER 23
Theo and I spend the day at the pond. He didn’t go back in water after almost marking me, though. I want to ask Ekaterina why she stopped him, but I think she’s avoiding me. “I think I’m feeling better now. Please, can you turn away?” When he turns away, I step out. Even though we were half-naked under the water a few hours ago, I’m still not comfortable being seen only in my underwear. My throat doesn’t feel sore anymore, and it doesn’t hurt to talk. My body temperature’s gone down. I feel stronger. I’m sure it's because of the spells Ekaterina cast into the water. They must’ve helped me recover. I dry myself with the hand towel I packed from home. “You can turn around now,” I say once I’m done putting on my clothes. “Are you sure you’re feeling better?” Theo asks, facing me. “Yes,” I say, and he places his hand on my forehead. “You’re right. Your temperature is much lower,” he says, removing his hand from my forehead. “Yep. Where’s Ekaterina?” I ask. “She went to look for
Prisoner To My Mate CHAPTER 24
“Theo, how do you know him?” I ask after Walden walks out. “This isn’t my first time running into hunters.” “Are you the one who gave him the scar on his face?” I ask to confirm my earlier suspicion. “Yes. I should’ve ripped his whole face off,” Theo snarls. “Do you know what he’s talking about when he says 'for what is about to come’?” “No. But knowing Walden, it isn’t something good for werewolves.” “I hope it's something we’ll be able to face, even in your condition.” “Once the silver is out of my system, we’ll have less to worry about. I’ll be able to get us out of here, don't worry. Everything is going to be fine,” Theo says, easing my worries away. “Okay, if you say so,” I say, leaning my back against the wall close to him. Theo wraps his arms around my waist and tries to pull me close to him, but I stop him. “Theo , you’re injured, you don't need my weight on you right now.” “Did I tell say that?” he asks, pulling me close to him. “You don't have to, it’s logica
Prisoner To My Mate CHAPTER 25
“I already told you what you need to do,” he says, pulling my face to the front of his pants. I look at Theo , and I can see in his eyes he doesn’t want me to, but I can’t watch him die from electrocution. It’ll haunt me forever if that happens. “I’ll do it. Please stop!” “No, honey, you go first,” he says, unzipping his pants. He’s about to pull out his cock when a voice outside stops him. “That’s enough, Gordon,” I hear Walden say from outside. I never expected I’d be happy to hear his voice. “Okay,” the disgusting man says and stops electrocuting Theo . I quickly run toward my mate to check him. “Theo are you okay?” I ask, lifting him off the ground and helping him sit up. “I’ll live,” he says hoarsely. He sounds in a lot of pain. His eyes are glued to Gordon, and I can see he’s planning his death in his head. “I see you met my son. He takes after me, doesn’t he?” Walden asks, walking into the room. Theo doesn’t say anything and continues to glare at Gordon. I pity him when
Prisoner To My Mate CHAPTER 26
When I wake up I’m back in the cell. I quickly check my body to see if I’m clothed, and I am. “Anastasia , are you awake?” Theo asks, sounding exhausted. “Yes, I am. Theo are you okay?” I ask, walking toward him at the back of the cell. “Theo !” I scream when I see the state he’s in. He’s worse than before. His shoulder has an open wound where the rogue was trying to bite it off. His face has claw marks all over. His neck has a vampire bite wound, and he seems to be sweating. I place my hand on his forehead to check his temperature and it's high. The silver in his body is taking time to come out, so it's making him sick. The wounds he has aren’t helping to speed things up. I quickly tear a piece of my shirt and tie his shoulder to try and stop the bleeding as much as I can. “Theo , you’re not looking good. We can't wait for you to recover before we try and escape. You’re badly injured and getting sick. It's going to take a lot to heal you. We need to come up with a new plan.” “
Prisoner To My Mate CHAPTER 27
Three days later, Ekaterina arrives, and she’s perfected the werewolf silver shield spell. We’re about to test it. “You can shift now,” Ekaterina tells Theo . All the silver is gone from his body, so he can shift now. He’s also fully recovered. The humans didn’t notice him getting better when they brought our food the last couple of days. They hardly even entered the cell, just throwing the food in. Theo shifts into his beautiful midnight wolf. Theo ’s wolf is the biggest I’ve ever seen. I’m not surprised since he’s the werewolf King. His wolf is ten or twelve feet tall, taller than I stand even in human form. My wolf is around six or seven feet tall, the average height for werewolves. That’s half of Theo ’s wolf in size. I’m not shifting because I need to open the doors as we try to free our people. I know we can break down the doors in wolf form, but it’s easier if I just use my hands. I walk closer to him and pass my hands through his fur. It feels very soft and nice under my
Prisoner To My Mate CHAPTER 28
Two weeks have passed since we escaped the human fight ring. We finally entered vampire territory a few days ago. We waited a week after we escaped because Ekaterina fell sick. The silver protecting spell took an enormous toll on her body. Luckily for us, she recovered well and was able to cast a strong spell to help us enter vampire territory without raising suspicion. Things between Theo and I are the same. He treats me with respect, but other than that, nothing has changed. I wish it would because with him treating me with care, I find it hard not to have feelings for him. Sometimes I think about initiating something between us but don't ever follow through with it. I’m too shy, and I don't want to face rejection if I’m misreading his signs. Theo , Ekaterina, and I are on the streets in vampire territory, asking around for my Mom. I’ve asked more than a hundred people today, and none of them have seen her or know her whereabouts. I’m starting to worry that I’m too late in finding
