LOGINI tracked more of them, my eyes narrowing. Between the three of us, and my six hoard members also hunting. We'd taken twenty out already. There was still more coming. They seemed to be circling the lake, trying to draw us closer. I slowed in my rage, my shadows hugging the treeline as I watched. They grouped together, crouched and waiting to be attacked. But anytime one of the Pack did, they'd move closer to the water. I saw the small ripples, others coming out of the lake and creating new groups. Dane. The Wolf dropped his mental shield. Recall the Packs. Why? He growled, his Alpha nature taking hold. They didn't take orders well. I suppressed a sigh, letting him see the lake through my eyes. Such an odd feeling, a pressure against the back of my eyes, a small flash before I felt almost like I had double vision. I hadn't quite mastered how to do it myself without one of them gui
GabrielThat fucking piece of shit! My chest shook violently with pain as tainted blood courses through my slow moving veins. The only downside to my now beating heart. Poisons worked on me again. One of Shifters I'd devoured getting to the small child named Katie.I should have realised he was too willing to get in my way! Pain rocked me again and I gripped the soil, biting down to stop my screams. Shadows still hugged me, I was still concealed from the enemies around me. But ugh, fuck was I weak! Boss? Oliver's voice broke through, making me falter.W-was that a mind-link? His voice broke through again, a pressure on my temple. Boss, can you hear me? Vampires didn't have a mind-link, we spoke to the shadows to communicate. Yeah, Oliver sighed, hearing
"Who's Katie?" Gabe asked in a tight voice, feeling Rose's panic flare. I turned to meet his dark expression. "Sebastian's little sister." He scowled in anger. "Stay with our Rose." Gabriel turned into shadows, disappearing through the vent system Rose had installed for exactly that. Quick exits. Where the fuck are you going? I shouted at him, my fists curling. Gabriel gave an annoyed growled. Changelings seek out emotionally distressed Shifters! He snarled back. It targets either weakened or young, usually taking one of the group until they can take the rest with the others waiting in the shadows! There was an edge of panic. You mean..Yes, you idiots! He snapped, cutting Theo off. That little girl is being hunted by Changelings, if she's not already one! Dane snarled. We have to deal with Veron! We've evacuated the Pack house, the fire is still uncontrolled and we're still figh
Dane and Theo were back within the next few hours, though I wasn't quite sure how much time had passed. Rose was curled between my legs while I sat on one of the unused medical beds in the hospital wing. The red and gold blanket she was bundled was partly tangled around my legs, from her cuddling them in her sleep. Theo gave a small smile at the sight of her when they came in, Dane's expression was tense but I saw it relax slightly when Rose stretched across me, yawning in a high pitched squeak that made me chuckle.I held the chart I was reading away, looking down at her as she rolled in my lap, her hair splayed across in and the bed in a mess and her cheeks flushed, making her eyes and freckles bright. "Hey, sleepyhead." I smiled, leaning down and gave her a gentle kiss, resisting the urge to devour her delicious mouth. She hummed, stretching her arms and arching her back on me. "I smell-" she
She went back to Seb. Sonya gave another giggle, turning to Rose. "Thank you, now," she crossed her arms over her white coat. "What're you doing with my patient?" Rose was trying to move Seb, roll him from what it looks like. "I have a suspicion." Was all she said, struggling for a moment longer before she sighed and stepped back. Raising her hand at Seb, she spoke the Wiccan word for control...I think...and Seb moved like a puppet on a string. His eyes still closed, he sat up, leaning forward and his head lulled. Sonya gave me a sideways glance. "Is she always so-""Sneaky?" I offered. Sonya chuckled, nodding. "Glad it's not just to the Fey." I crossed my arms as we watched Rose remove the parts of clothing on Seb's good side, her eyes narrowing. "Fucker." She growled suddenly. She moved before I could stop her.She was on the bed, kneeling behind Sebastian, her arms locking in a familiar hold Theo had taught her
XavierI don't know what she said to those Burhounds, but fuck. I gaped mentally to the others, looking across the polished stone wide hallways of the now completed underground facility. I heard Theo chuckle back, seeing Rose walking ahead of me with determination in her step as we made our way from the housing ward to medical. Her fiery copper hair bounced with each step, loose and wild waves rippling down her slender back nearly to her full hips, the ashen streak pushed back with a headband she pulled on when we'd come back down to the Bunker after the Triad had left to put out the fires and evacuate the Pack. She'd made me wait in the Portal room, disappearing behind one of the doors before I could stop her. There were three Burhounds she'd wrangled to build the place, all of them had been working for five days now, they weren't m
[Rose] "Did you hear what happened to Diaz?" A boy sitting behind me in English class whispers to another, Annie instantly turning her attention to it. Diaz...That's Xav's last name.... She murumed. I kept my eyes forward, but I listened with her. Another boy spoke. "Yeah - she has a ru
My heart slammed in my chest, my stomach twisting like I was going throw up at the sight of him. Cold, predatory - hateful wrapped in a lust that made my skin crawl and Annie growled. The chair scraped as I scrambled backwards, the dark haired Bear stepping in front of me. "She's not your toy
[Xavier] I sensed it before I saw it - like a thick fog of sweetness that carried on the air as I moved downstairs, looking for Rose. I felt the tension in her ease, lulling to the comfort of her mates - making herself at home and finding how she effortlessly belonged. And there she was, p
Rose Steam rolled off me in thick plumes as I shut off the shower, the smell of my arousal still clinging to my skin. I felt like I was overheating from the inside, my stomach twisted in knots that had my thighs clenching - desperate to be wrapped around something. Around one of them. Fu
