Se connecterRENNA'S POVThe dungeon air grew thick with Samuel's sobs and the scent of fear. Blair's knife hand hovered, ready to carve out the traitor's tongue as I stood frozen, my hand still resting on Blair's arm.Before he could cut it, out of the blue he went rigid.His gold eyes glazed over for a fraction of a second, the unmistakable sign of a mindlink. His jaw clenched so hard I saw a muscle leap beneath his skin then the knife trembled in his grip, not from hesitation, but from the force of whatever message was searing through his skull."No," he growled under his breath. Not to me but to whoever was on the other end of the link.Samuel whimpered, pressing himself flatter against the stone floor, sensing the shift in his Alpha's energy but not understanding it.Blair's gaze snapped back into focus. He looked at me, really looked at me and for the first time since we'd entered this dungeon, I saw something other than rage in his eyes. Something that might have been reluctance."Get him
I stood up, slipped on my pants and shirt and walked out of the room quietly. I walked down to my room, showered, then returned to the now lively house.Pack members from different houses of ours were here. Why? I was not sure. I followed the commotion into the dining area, which seemed to be the most acceptable place to hold such a large crowd."Whats going on?" I managed to bump into Renee. "Meeting called by Alpha.""Why didn't I get the memo?" "I dont know."I looked around the room. The men and women who were in charge of the other houses under the command of the Alpha and Luna were present. The best warriors were present. So why didn't I know?"Hey guys?" A woman's voice interfered. "Hey Scarlet." Renee greeted in a monotone."Wooo what got you so dull?" "Things on my mind." He refused to go into to depth. "But Im cool.""How are you Bane?" My biggest mistake was looking into her eyes. Theres that twinkle again. I can see how she yearned for that spark between us but honestly, t
The girl was smiling, her little clammy hands wrapped around his arm. I frowned. Sensing my entrance, all eyes were on me. Refusing to show my emotion of anger, and jealousy, I pushed to wipe away my look of disappointment, to a emotionless look."Hi, you're the Luna's friend right? I'am Scarlet." She seemed happy and oh-so friendly. Especially with her hands on him. I didn't like it too well."Yeah hi."I did not want to speak. I did not want to introduce myself to her. I did not even want to look at them.I walked over to the kitchen cabinet then the refrigerator to get something to drink. A bead of sweat appeared on my forehead. I could feel his eyes burning into the side of my skull. Feeling uneasy and tense, I quickly grabbed what I came here for and walked out of the kitchen and ran back upstairs.I walked into my room. My attempt to close my door behind me was stopped. He stepped in and closed the door himself."What?" I hissed."Whats your problem?" He questioned angrily. I co
It was the push that I needed. The push that told me to move. I increased my speed again. The belt began to pull against the rubber on the bottom of my Nike.I could feel the muscles in my body tightening, the blood in my body flowing, my heart pumping. Inhale, exhale. Deep and steady breaths kept my body pushing. Speed. Strength. My legs were burning however I did not care. I wanted nothing more than to keep pushing. I saw nothing. I felt and thought about nothing but running.Was it the distraction I needed?Probably. I did not think about calling her phone. I did not think about Jason. I did not think about Vampires. I did not think about werewolves. All I could think about was running, pushing myself to the edge.An arm reached over to my treadmill and pulled the emergency stop plug. It dangled from the machine as the belt began to slow, decreasing my run to a slow walk. "What the hell?" I pulled my headphones off."What the hell are you doing? Slow your ass down." "Im running. Is
"It's either hold a secret." I began to walk again. "Or hold your pulled heart...your choice."I shrugged. He acknowledged my words. It was no threat but a promise. I needed him to do something and that was to keep his mouth shut.I can only wonder if he could actually do this...It had only been a day but I could see the tension building up in Bane. He was becoming a window. It was almost obvious to see that he was hiding something in that thick skull of his.He was fidgety. When spoken to he was nothing but a scrambled mess. Eye contact with him was limited and that weird sense of humor was gone alongside his sarcasm. I could admit that it was quiet but it was not right. He was attracting some concerns which I could not have."Can I get you anything?" A woman approached my booth. Her smile was drawn on but her eyes screamed of exhaustion. I could see how beat she was."Um can you give me a moment?""Of course. Take your time." I could hear the relief in her voice. She turned and wal
"You're dying." I stopped running."I was-" He parked himself by a large oak tree. His body slumped over the large over ground root. "I was coming."As Bane found time to catch his breath, I found time to look around, waiting and watching my surroundings. We were off of territory. Now, anyone could come along. There were no patrols. There were no other members. I haven't even told others where I was going, what I was doing, or who I was meeting."You okay?" I eyed the shadows that were casted by the dreary trees. "Yeah just...need some water." He heaved. "Is there like a lake, or dirty pond around?"Despite me not laughing, I found his humor sort of enjoyable. No wonder he was Bane's left hand."No.""Okay." He wiped away the beads of sweat that had formed on the flesh of his forehead. "I'm ready. Can we go wolf form though? I may be able to keep up. I mean, I'm fast and all but no Alpha. Matter of fact, maybe I should go wolf form and you run in human. Maybe that would help. You know
EMMA’S POVI woke with a start, heart slamming against my ribs. The dream dissolved the second my eyes opened, something dark, tangled and forbidden but the heavy ache in my chest refused to leave. I dragged a hand down my face, exhaling shakily, then swung my legs over the side of the bed.The hou
EMMA'S POVTears welled in my eyes, and I squeezed them shut, holding them back. I just wanted to go back to my old life. I curled up under the covers, my body trembling as the tears silently fell. The weight in my chest grew, making it hard to breathe with every second that passed. I shook with qu
The slut didn’t need to be told twice. The second the order left my lips, she scrambled forward on all fours like the desperate little whore she was, back arched high, thighs splayed wide, her slick folds already glistening and dripping onto the dark hardwood floor beneath her. The sight should hav
After walking out of Alexander's office, I was so angry and the only thing I wanted was to talk to my mother.My hands curled into fists at my sides as I yanked my phone out of my pocket and dialed. The call barely rang twice before my mother answered. "How are you my lovely daughter?, Are you gett
