“Fucking bitch,” Daniel snarled and began fighting against his restraints. Marcus ran forward as Agatha stepped back and placed a shield between her and Daniel. As soon as Marcus reached Daniel, Emily saw that he had a syringe in his hand. He pulled the top off with his teeth and pulled Danile’s head to the side. He quickly jabbed the needle into the side of his neck and pushed the liquid into his vein. Within seconds Daniel’s movements calmed to all you could see was the rapid rise and fall of his chest and his eyes darting around. “You know that little injection won’t stop me,” Daniel said slightly slurred. “I am going to drain everything from you fucking bitches as soon as I get free.”“I don’t think so,” Agatha said, dropping her shield and tracing a pattern as she approached his left hand side and continued to trace the pattern as she walked counter clockwise around him. After she was done she turned and looked at the camera and said, “Breanna, bring me black chalk, and then fou

Wakeup. Wakeup. Wakeup. “Go away,” Emily groaned as she burrowed further into her pillow. All this time without me and you won’t even wake up to tell me hello, the voice huffed. “What do you mean all of this time without you,” Emily grumbled. “I just want to finish my nap.” I might be gone by the time you decide to finally wake up, the voice whined. I thought you would have missed me, the voice said softly. “Who are you,” Emily mumbled, still trying to wake up. “The only one I am missing is Rica.” Hello! Who do you think I am? “Rica? Is that really you?”Yes! Finally! Yes, it’s me. Who else did you think it was? Do you have another lycan half that I should be worried about, she teased. “No,” Emily said, sitting up quickly. “I can hear you, but I don’t feel you like I did before. I don’t feel the connection like I can talk to you in my mind like normal.”Our bond is still mostly severed. That is why I was trying to talk to you while I can. I’m not sure how long this will l

Emily and Gabriel finally left their rooms showered and dressed about an hour later. Emily had to smile to herself. Somehow their sharing a shower to save water had ended up wasting a lot more water. Go figure, she thought to herself still trying to contain her smile. “You know since our bond is back and fully in place that I can hear what you are thinking unless you block me,” Gabriel said with a smirk as he wrapped an arm around her waist and brought her closer to him. “I forgot about that actually,” Emily said. “I wasn’t thinking anything bad. It was just more of an…observation,” she laughed. “Ah. I see. An observation,” Gabriel said, grinning down at his mate. “Maybe based on your observation we should think of new ways to save water or maybe we just need more practice.” “Maybe,” Emily said with a light blush. “We can see later.” Quickly changing the topic, Emily asked, “Is everyone meeting back in the conferencroom to hear what Agatha and Angela learned?” “No,” Gabriel s

“That is what we were actually doing most of the night,” Agatha admitted. “It didn’t take us long to go through the hunter’s mind. Without his stolen powers, and without his ability to take powers he was very easy to read. We were able to see the witches that he took power from and we recognized most of them and most of them are eager to get their powers back and are willing to help or happy to leave and not take sides.”“That’s a good thing, right,” Gabriel asked. “If you know who the hunter stole power from you can contact them and let them come here so that Emily can return it. I do not want her leaving here to go to the hunters.” “In most cases it is,” Angela agreed slowly. “But there is one potential problem that we have encountered.”“What type of problem,” Gabriel asked with his eyes narrowing slightly. Why couldn’t just one thing work out easy for his mate?“One of the witches that the hunter stole power from is Jenna,” Agatha said with a grim set to her mouth. “Shit,” Gabri

Lord Rotterford looked at the two sorry excuses for hunters that were currently trembling in front of him. “I will only ask this one more time,” he said through clenched teeth and barely continuing his temper. “How did you let Daniel go through one of the openings?” “S-Sir, I do not know how he got to one of the openings.” One of the sniveling weaklings in front of him stammered. “W-We were opening them as fast as we could, closing them, and then changing the locations to avoid detection when all of a sudden I turned and he was not there. The hunter that stabbed your fiancee was standing there looking at us confused and demanding to know what was going on,” he finished quickly and looked back down at the floor. “This is bullshit,” Lord Rotterford yelled as he slammed his fist down on the desk he was currently sitting behind. “I know someone saw or knows something! Speak!” Lord Rotterford seethed as he sat there and no one else dared to say anything. After several more tense moments
