Masuk***MiaI hobbled down a darkened corridor; sheet wrapped around my broken body. Blood from my side soaked into the thin fabric. Behind us, remnants trailed as our bloody footprints stepped out into the opening sunset. Deep gashes covered Lucas’ body. But he would heal. He was safe. Alive.And that was all that mattered.He came for me. All that time in captivity, I doubted him, doubted his love for me. But the King knew... and he used that information to lure Lucas back to High Moon.Fire and fighting descended beyond the courtyard. After the witch died, the barrier must have fallen, allowing the outer packs to invade. Bodies from both sides laid dead on the open field. Pain and anger welled in his eyes, but death and war went hand in hand. The King’s men, his warriors were loyal to only Godric and they would fight until their dying breath.My eyes spun over the ladden bodies. I didn't see my sisters. "Lucas, where are they? Where are my sisters?" I urged, gaze still searching over th
***MiaCold... so cold. Freezing water shook my frail body down to the core. But maybe it wasn't the frigid cold that shuddered down my spine but instead panic. I was submerged, falling further and further, as if my legs were anchors in search of stability. Water, dark and endless, surrounded me in every direction. Sinister and calculating.A sliver of light shone from above. I swam up, feeling my fingers over the crack. But the lake current pushed me further away, dragging me from the light and taking me deeper into darkness. I kicked against the current and pressed my hands above but found only a barrier, solid and unmoving. The air. There was none and I felt my body seizing, choking and grasping for breath. I needed out. My little fingers clawed at the frozen ice, begging the Goddess to let me out. To let me live.A cackle rose from the depths; my body froze. I peered down into nothingness, only darkness grinned back, winking a watchful eye. But deep in my bones, I knew something
***LucasGodric's beast snarled and sneered, saliva sheering from its bottom lip. Dax could hear the hateful words, blistering contempt for us. For what we did.We took Mia, not by force, not just through the mate bond. She chose us. And they couldn't control either one of us anymore. Warriors... the other packs, they were no longer whimpering at Godric's feet, oblivious to his torturous acts. Townspeople were in the street, ready to fight. Enough was enough and the people had had it. The uprising was a long time coming and Godric... his beast knew all it took was someone to step up.To make the first move. And it had to be the heir.The beast made the first strike, lunging for the throat. But Dax was too quick for the massive wolf, with its one good eye. With no patch to hide the grotesque gape, it sat atop its face like a putrid black hole, surrounded by mangled fur as it sheethed and writhed in anger.Dax countered and swiped his vicious claws across its ribs. The beast let out an
***LucasI burst through the door. There she was. My angel... my love in Lily's form on all fours. The witch pushed herself from the floor, face seething with an inhumane hatred. Whatever Lily and Mia had done to her had royally pissed her off. Never had I seen the woman stunned like this before.Lily’s snowy white fur stood on end. She sneered and snarled, crossing the room as she guarded her little sisters. The girls whimpered behind her, still tied to their chairs, watching as the chaos unfolded.I motioned to the men, before saying, “Get them out of here. Now. They don't need to see what's about to happen.” My father’s lip twitched, brows bending in impatience."You dare go against me? You disloyal shits... ingrates! All that I've done for you all," he growled. But my men were void of any sympathy... at least to him. He of all people had shown no mercy and now he wanted loyalty after all that he had done, all the innocent people he had slain."And you..." he glowered at me in dis
***MiaShe slithered in front of me, eyes blazing bright. Her hood was gone this time. The blemishes cleared her pale body, but the hunger in her gaze... she was greedy for more. A need that would never be satiated. And if the King allowed it, she would take me tonight. Her talisman hung from her neck as she edged towards me. I never noticed before, but it radiated and glowed upon touching her skin.The King’s heavy footsteps followed behind. As our eyes met, his jaw clenched, visibly angered. He pushed my chin to the side, growling as he saw my mated marks. He gripped my throat and hot rage poured from his gritted teeth. I tensed as his hand slid down, roughly grabbing at my sensitive breasts.“You are more trouble than you’re worth. Every pack is outside my walls but there’s no way in. They will pay for their disloyalty. Once I’m through with you and that boy... I’ll finish all of them off,” he sneered. His one eye burned with cold hatred. I could see the pierced canines, on the ver
***Lucas"Everyone! Move out!” I hastened, urging them on. We dropped the cars off about 20 miles back and our wolves ran the remaining miles to the cabin, just outside of range. We already killed three scouts on the way in. Dax’s fury was no match for any warrior, old or novice, that made the mistake of stopping us. Any sympathy had long burned out once he learned his mate was in danger.“What’s wrong?” Thiago asked, eyes tired and worrisome. His hands rubbed against the back of his neck.“She screamed for me," I murmured, avoiding his gaze. "It wasn’t a physical pain. But something... wicked. I’m sure they did something sick and sadistic. Only our father and that bitch could think up.” I walked away, pensive, pinching my brow.The headaches were in high gear now. The throbbing in my temples were nonstop since I awoke to find her missing. It was partly the anxiety and fear of what he would do to her. But the other half was the mate bond. Mia was literally my other half. She was now a
