Emily was exhausted. She had been running most of the night. She would slow down and walk a few times to catch her breath and rest, but she was too scared to stop completely. Her legs were now to the point that they were shaking and felt like jelly, but Emily knew if she stopped that she might not get back up again. Everything on her body was hurting. She could feel the bruising and swelling from Lord Rotterford hitting and grabbing her.
Emily had heard the baying of the hounds about an hour after she left the mansion. Mrs. Kingsely had been right. She had heard them most of the night as she continued to run. It had scared her more though when she quit hearing the baying about an hour ago. Emily could only hope that meant that the hounds had led everyone in a different direction far from her.
She was abl

Once Breanna got everyone to the clearing, Gabriel updated them on what they heard. “The good news is that Sebastian is alive and he is somewhere in the woods. We either missed where they have him somehow or he is closer to the estate. We do have an added complication though. The forest surrounding the estate is crawling with hunters. The girl that Rotterford wanted so badly was apparently not a willing guest. She has run and is presumed to be in the woods surrounding the estate somewhere. Rotterford really seems to want this girl for some reason. I do not know if she has any powers, special abilities, is armed, or what. If you see her, try to stay away if possible. We do not know if she poses a threat.”“I think the fact that she ran from him shows that we stand a higher chance of her siding with us,” Marcus observed.&lsquo

Gabriel and Sarah had been looking for Sebastian most of the day. Gabriel could tell that Sarah was getting more and more anxious as the day went on and they still had not found Sebastian. He saw that it was slowly getting a little darker too. The sun would be setting soon. Just as Gabriel was about to check in with Axel and Megan again they heard the hounds that had been baying for the last couple of hours get louder. I hate to say this, Gabriel sent to Sarah, but maybe we should try heading toward the hounds. Maybe they are looking for Sebastian. We will just keep careful and keep a good distance between them and us. Okay.

What did you do to our mate! Conri yelled, as Gabriel felt like he looked at his mate from far away. He almost felt like he was seeing her from the far end of a tunnel. Gabriel could now feel that his bond with Conri was fully back. He could also feel memories of the pain and suffering that Conri had been protecting him from by blocking their connection. Conri had put up so many barriers to try to protect Gabriel that it took a while for Conri to even recognize their mate. Conri had given up on the thought of them finding their mate. He had accepted the fact that he was going to go feral, but had wanted to spare Gabriel for as long as possible. Gabriel now looked at the delicate woman that he knocked over and he felt like his heart was being squeezed in his chest. Normally a single look or smell would alert you th

When Gabriel awoke he realized that they were on the road. He smiled when he glanced down and saw that his mate was still snuggled up on his chest sleeping soundly. He realized that he was in a horribly uncomfortable position, but he did not want to move for fear of disturbing his mate.His mate must have endured so much based on her injuries and to have run through the woods for hours. Based on what little he had overheard from the hunters, he could guess that she had been running since sometime last night. Gabriel had no idea what condition she had been in when she left out. He knew that she had to have had at least some of her injuries when she left.Looking around the SUV Gabriel saw that almost everyone was asleep. The only ones that were awake were him, Marcus, and Axel. Poor Axel was driving, but you could tell that he was starting to show signs of

We're here. Marcus said as the SUV came to a smooth stop. Gabriel stretched and looked down at his sleeping mate that was still curled up in his arms. He hated to disturb her, but he and Conri were eager to learn about her. Megan opened her door quietly and hopped out of the seat she had been in. She moved the seat forward so Gabriel could get out with his mate. Gabriel adjusted how he was holding his mate and managed to somehow maneuver out of the SUV without waking her up. Axel, I’ll drive the rest of the way if you want to rest for a bit. Megan sa

Why are you so willing to trust this man? Emily wondered to herself as she began to slowly follow him toward the town he lives in. Shouldn’t the last few days have shown you that trusting men has not been the best idea? So far you have been betrayed by family and two other men that you had no relation to. While Emily had these thoughts going through the rational side of her brain, the other side was turning to mush with how nice and attentive he was being.Every few steps he would stop and turn around to help her step down from a rock, or help her over a fallen tree. It almost seemed like he was really just looking for any excuse to help to touch her. Emily could not lie. There were a few times that she intentionally let her hand linger in his for a few extra seconds. Emily liked the way that her hand felt in his. She could easily see herself falling for Gabriel if she were to stay. No. Stop. S

Emily’s heart was racing in her chest as she slowly backed away from Conri. She gave a little gasp as her back bumped into a tree. When she looked up she saw that Conri was closing the distance between them. “Do you want to know why,” he asked. “Why,” Emily asked breathlessly. “Because we are the Alpha King,” he growled. Conri grabbed her upper arms and pulled her to him as his mouth came crashing down on hers. Emily’s squawk of protest quickly died down at the sensation of his mouth on hers. She had kissed a few guys before but they were absolutely nothing like this. She could easily become addicted to kissing Gabriel and Conri. Everywhere that he touched with his mouth or han

After sharing all of her feelings and concerns, and Gabriel so easily agreeing to move at a pace that she is comfortable with, Emily did not really know what to do or say. Things were not quite awkward between them per se, but they were different too. “So…umm…” Emily started awkwardly, “Do you think we should head on to the town? I know that after being in the woods the last few days and running, that I could definitely use a shower,” she finished with an attempted joke. “Yes,” Gabriel said. “For the record though, you smell great to me,” he said with a smile and offered her his arm. Emily smiled and gladly accepted his arm. They continued like that for a while at a slow pace s
