Marcus POV
I had a bad feeling about this since the moment I received the call. I was in my car with both Logan and Tanner, speeding down the road, rushing to get back to my pack lands.
Who was this Elder Attard? And why was he in my pack?
I thought about all the possible reasons why he might be there but the one that I didn’t want to think about was the one that I feared the most.
I have to protect my mate at all costs so if I will have to lie so be it I will lie if that question ever rises.
The road was bumpy making everyone inside the car slightly jump from the fast driving over the dirt bumpy road.
"You know he will still be there even if you slow down a little,
“Put me down! Where are you taking me?” I yelled, punching with my fists at the back of some huge, tall guy that was carrying me like I am some bag of potatoes, tossed over his shoulder.I couldn't see anything but the noises I heard sounded like a dungeon.I could feel chill and the smell was horrible, just adding to my fear even more. I didn’t want to break down and cry but it was so hard to keep my tears at bay.What did they even want from me? I had no idea, as they just grabbed me and dragged me outside my family home.I couldn’t shake the image as my father and my brother were trying to get free from the invisible grip that was pinning them to the wall. The look in my father’s eyes of defeat as he could only stay there and watch me bei
The sound of the keys woke me up from my sleep, making me open my eyes as I felt two strong arms tightly wrapped around me, pulling me ever so closer into a warm embrace.Despite the situation, I felt safe in Marcus' arms. Just knowing that he is here with me was enough for me and I knew I could endure anything and everything that was waiting ahead for us to happen."Get ready love birds, the Council is waiting for you two." A guard said, making me look up into Marcus' eyes as he showed no fear, the only comfort was in them."Don't worry my love, everything will be fine," Marcus told me as he kissed the top of my head while the guard made a disgusting sound."Don't make me go inside and drag you two out there." The guard warned us, making Marcus growl in warning as he sl
Marcus POVAs the huge white double doors have opened, and the sounds of two sets of footsteps approaching, Olivia and I both looked behind us at two people approaching us.My eyes narrowed when I saw Samantha and Tyson approaching us with their heads held high.I knew it! I knew those bastards had their filthy hands in this mess.Tyson looked me in the eyes and smirked for a second as a nasty gleam passed over his eyes. Samantha was looking at Olivia with so much disgust and hate showing in her feature that even shocked me for a moment.The Elder Attard that was leading this court spoke, “Welcome Alpha Bennet and Samantha Baker.”Tyson and Samantha approached
“Or if you refuse to do it willingly, then you leave us no other choice but to do it ourselves by force.” I couldn’t believe what they were asking of us to do. The fear crept inside of my heart, making my breathing stop as panic flooded inside of me. I looked up at Marcus, feeling his arms wrap around me tighter. He was looking at the Elder that was leading this court. I could see his facial features became hard as he was glaring at the Elder, growling slightly from his chest. “You cannot force the rejection on anyone. There is no such thing...” Marcus said fiercely but was cut off by the one standing the entire time. “Of course none of us have such strong powers to do that, but there is one who can.” He said, making me
I couldn’t believe it with my own eyes as I stood there looking at that smiling face of his. Damon was here! He opened the door as Marcus came and took my hand, “Come my love. We need to go.” I blinked and walked ahead with him towards the door, feeling as this isn’t real, but the moment I walked through the door before Marcus, as he let me pass first, I smelled Damon’s familiar scent and without another thought, the realization of the situation being true, finally made me realize as I threw myself into Damon’s embrace. He wrapped his arms around my waist and said, “Don’t worry, you both are getting out now.” I looked up into his eyes, as a gentle smile graced his features, making me smile gratefully back at him.
The air was chilly as we were for a long time riding on the dragon’s back. Two dragons were flying alongside while a huge dark one was on the front leading us to the unknown. Marcus felt a shiver run through my body as I was starting to feel cold, so he pulled me closer to his front and wrapped his arms tighter, securing me in place. The feeling was out of this world, to be in my mate’s embrace, but we all knew that the danger was not gone, just postponed. I turned to look to our side to see my brother on the front with Logan sitting on the back, trying not to be too close to James. The sight was hysterical to witness as the two bickered whole the way from the Elders’ lands.
We were all patiently sitting and waiting for the old dragon called Edmond to come as Damon went to find him. Damien called in a pack member that brought us some hot chocolate and it felt good as it tasted absolutely amazing and the warmth calmed down my nerves. Not that I was nervous, more like excited to meet this old dragon and hear him out. The door to the study room opened and inside came Damon followed slowly by a tall man that had long grey hair that was tied back into a little ponytail but suited him nicely. He looked more like a hippie as the air around him felt calm and friendly. He didn’t look at all old, more mature as he had around his blue eyes little lines that showed he smiled a lot. He looked over at us
Marcus POVI and the guys were sitting alone with Damon, Wyatt, Zen, and Damien in the study as the girls went out together with Edmond to find in the old library the ancient book in which it says how and where to find the White Moon’s warriors and the mountain, as we will need to know how to get inside it.“So...” Damon said, looking at me as we all were sitting on two leather couches, drinking his father’s whiskey, and discussing what we all have just found out.I looked over at him, arching my eyebrow in question as I asked him, “What?”I have kind of knew what they were all thinking and wanting to ask, but that's none of their business to know, as it was between Olivia and me only.
