I take a quick look around through Zelda's eyes as she runs around the clearing, then into the trees and then back into the clearing. I let her have her fun as I turn back to Zachariah."Zachariah... You would never replace me, would you?" "Yasmine... What on earth would give you that idea?" "My nightmare..."He sighs, "You had it again? Yasmine, you are my mate, you are having my pup, there is no way I am ever giving up on you... Did your nightmare change?" "A little, but that is normal. It's just when I manage to escape Valentino. He says you give up and replace me. That you take another mate..." "Yasmine, why would I do that?" "Because this time they drug me and I can't talk to you. I am sure I hear your howl, but that's when he says that it isn't you..." "YASMINE!!" "Morpheus??" "Nothing... And I mean NOTHING!! Will ever make me replace you... And Yasmine here's a secret for you, Zachariah can't replace you without my agreement and he will never get that..." "Yasmine, som
"The kind you wouldn't let me have when we had her last time... You do know she was a virgin, don't you? If you did, then what did you want to know? To make you resist and wait.""Yes, of course, I knew... But I needed to know what she was to him. Why would he take her and not put one of his collars on her? And then allow her to hold a knife?... Your silver knife at that, to his throat and not kill her for it?... So that when I took that from her, from him. It would maybe finally break her and then affect him more, knowing that I made his fiery little shifter into my personal sex slave... I had a feeling she was, but the bitch wouldn't confirm that she was indeed his mate! I guess could have just killed her, but then where was the fun in that?"Henry laughs as I snap my head up and look at Valentino. He knew all that time, and yet it wasn't until the day Zachariah saved me that he actually tried to take it."But we know she is now, so why stop me? Why not join me instead?"To not brin
He then leaves. I move back into the bedroom and flop down on the bed. It is then at I feel a pounding in my head that is not coming from either Lorelei or Zelda. I open the link,"YASMINE?? ARE YOU ALRIGHT?? YASMINE, ANSWER ME!!" "Zachariah?? What?"I hear him sigh as he says, "You didn't answer me, but I could feel your fear coming down the mate bond... Are you alright?" "I am, for now. Henry just tried to rape me..." "Tried??" "Yeah, surprisingly Valentino stopped him..." "Really, that is not like him... Be careful, Yasmine, he may act nice, but that is all it is..." "Don't worry, I could never forget what he is... Zachariah. I heard Valentino talking to Henry afterwards, and he admitted to having at least one breeding camp..." "After you had said you recognised the type of room as part of a breeding camp, I got Raphael to inform all our spies to keep their eyes and ears open and maybe even dig a little more than they have been..."I jump a little as I say, "Ouch..." "What'
I wake wrapped in two strong arms. I struggle as he tightens his grip and rubs himself up against me. Lorelei and Zelda are both growling low, wanting his hands off of us. He moves one hand to my throat as I whisper, "You said you wouldn't touch me?" "And I didn't until after the moon had left its highest peak, making it a new day..." "Bastard..." He tightens his hold around my neck at my outburst, making it hard to breathe. He then rubs himself harder and faster against me. It doesn't take him long to growl out behind me as I feel something warm and wet on my lower back. He then kisses the back of my neck, lets me go and rolls out of the bed, pulling on his pants and shirt from last night and then leaving the room. He calls from the door, "I will be back tonight. I expect you to be in a dress once again and yes, I will keep my hands to myself once more..." He then leaves, closing the door behind him. I get up and get rid of my nightdress and get back into the shower to get rid
Now the higher ranks usually shift, a Delta will shift around 16-17, a Gamma will shift around 15-16, a Beta will shift around 14-15 and an Alpha can shift as young as 10 but that is very rare and usually only if they are in extreme danger forcing their wolf to come out and help them survive, otherwise they shift at 12-14. After I have been over what I have learned, I ask Arthur, "Have you shifted yet?" "Yes, Luna. I am the second son of the Delta. I shifted at 14..." My eyes went wide for a moment as he said he was a son of the Delta, which made him my half-brother if their mother was indeed my mother. I cover up my overly high emotions. Maybe I can talk to him about his mother later... I take a deep breath and ask the entire group instead. "You are all so young. How did you end up babysitting me?" Leo steps forward. "We have all just come out of the fighting camps. We are at the top of our class. Even though you are a high-priority prisoner here, he didn't believe that some of
I nod and go to get to my feet, but sway as a dizzy spell hits me. Both Leo and Arthur rush to my side and wrap their arms around me to stop me from collapsing completely. I see that confused look on Leo's face again, as he takes a deep breath and they help me back inside. I am surprised that I don't feel those burning spiders at their touch. Maybe it is the intentions behind the touch that make the spider sensation appear. Or could be because they are family? Once inside, they steady me and then let me go. I then walk over to the bookshelf, pull out the journal, and pass it to Leo. He opens the small book and skims through a couple of the pages. I then turn to Arthur as he holds out a glass of water and some toast. I take both and then turn back to Leo as I say, "I know it may not be the right person, but I was wondering with what you said the first time we met if your mother might be my mother too?" Leo stands up straighter and seems to get all serious and anger slides over his fa
"No, no, your father never attacked me. He loved me. What I did with your father I wanted to do..."*** KAREN'S FLASHBACK *** (This is the story behind Yasmine's Mother and Father.)I jump out of bed as the sun rises like I do every morning, but for some reason, I have a good feeling about today. I quickly make my way over to the tub that is full of cold water. I take a deep breath and jump in. I quickly wash and then get out and get ready for my day of chores. I exit out of the bedroom and into the kitchen, where my mother has already started on the day's bread and pastries. She wasn't the baker, but everyone loved her cooking, so the baker asked if she was willing to provide him with some. She received payments for them, of course. I sing and dance around the kitchen, helping her where ever she needed me until it was time for me to go to school. I give my mother a kiss goodbye and make my way to school, where I meet up with my best friends, Cass and Misty. As well as a few of the
*** KAREN'S FLASHBACK CONT' ***I can't make any sense of what he is saying, but I knew that his words had a lot of meaning behind them. The next time Wes pulled back, I looked into his emerald eyes and see so many emotions I don't know what to make of them. I step back out of his arms and then run; he doesn't stop me this time and I don't stop until I am home. All afternoon and throughout the night, I couldn't get his kisses and his touch out of my head. He even entered my dreams, making me wake up all hot and sweaty. We have the next day off from school as it is closed due to the celebration. I do something that I have never done, and that is, stay in bed. I don't want to see anyone as I try to understand why I feel for Wes the way that I do, because I haven't known him for that long. But I should have known I wouldn't get the day to myself because at around lunch, my mother knocks on the doorframe to the bedroom and says, "Cass, Trent, Misty, Mike, and Max are at the door wonderi
