31. Run

Chapter 31 Gigi. I should be mad at the abrupt pause in what was a sexually charged moment between me and James. However I couldn’t help but laugh at how the guys had decided to play out their revenge; it was so childish it was delicious. Grown men who still acted like they did in their teens was endearing, and to me it showed how true and solid their relationship was. I had learned from the girls already that James was what they lovingly called the shit-stirrer, and over the years had dished out plenty of stunts like the one that was now before me. I had no doubt that if we hadn’t been the target in this case, he would have been right in the middle of this blowing up condoms with the others. It actually was perfect because now James was distracted and had begun to burst the offending objects with annoyed swiping movements. I slid the dress off my shoulders and watched it fall to the floor at my feet, leaving me in a pale pink corset lingerie set. Kayda had rustled up from her colle

32. Mate Mark

JamesWhat the hell was happening right now? The sheer annoyance at how my friends had stitched me up had dissipated into a sexy primal hunt for my mate. She had bolted half naked from our house, and holy shit it had appealed to the predator Beta wolf in me. Jinx had lost his mind and burst forward, shoving me to the back of our consciousness. He didn’t force the shift, but he was in complete control as he hunted her. He sniffed he scent that hung in the air, mixed with her arousal; he was almost feral. I gave him this moment, reluctantly, because I knew he adored our mate just as much and his connection with her was just as important. However, as the wolf went wild, I was trying to remind him she was human and that she was fragile. When he caught up to her and forced her against his chest, roughly, I felt his unbridled need.“You’ll scare her, Jinx.” I pushed in our mind link. However, my panic died on my lips when the Mafia Princess began to taunt him. When she took our finger in

33. Awakening

JamesI can hear the assholes who call themselves my best friends whispering nearby like I haven’t got werewolf hearing. I guess I should be glad I can still hear and I am not dead. The scent of medical disinfectant, blood, and medication invades my nostrils and immediately I know I am in the pack hospital clinic.“He’s going to go ape shit.” Ash grunted in a hushed tone.“That’s why I told you to track her before he wakes.” Eoins voice bit back. He was annoyed, but the desperation and upset in his tone confused me. My brain was fogged over from whatever had happened, and I could feel Jinx, but he was distant in my mind, sleeping deep in the shadows.“Jinx is going to rip everyone apart, where the fuck is Ben? We are going to need his bear to sit on him.” I could hear the pause in Ash’s voice when he next spoke.“He had something surprising come up with Rori; he’ll be here soon.” “I don’t want to know what comes up belonging to Ben wih our sister Ash” Eoin sighed and I had to admit

34. The Opal Observation.

JamesI listened closely as Eoin told me I was shot by a silver bullet in the woods by the lake. The El Nahual had sent owl shifters over the territory lines during the attack from the coyotes, and they had hidden in the trees waiting. “We still don’t know how owl shifters got Gigi across the border.” Eoin admitted as it struck me burned onto my brain, those red eyes that were the last thing I had seen before I lost conciousness to the silver poisioning.“It wasn’t just owls. I saw the red eyes of something bigger in the bush before I passed out. I am certain they weren’t bird eyes.” I shifted my weight on the hard hospital bed, holding my side as I sat up slowly. No one stopped me this time, but they all gave a nervous glance at how slow and pained the movement looked. But I managed to get myself upright.“You sure?” Ash asked breaking the nervous tension that was building in the room.“So a coyote?”I thought hard about those eyes. Was I certain they were coyote? No. I wasn’t, in a

35. The Space In between

GigiI look around, and I instantly know I am somewhere strange. Everything has a strange ethereal glow and the moon seems closer, bathing the green meadow grass I am lying on in a weird bluish glow. I push to my feet and notice I am wearing a strange pale white gown.“Hello Gigi.” a voice called and I turned to see a girl standing to my right. I looked closer, and in the moonlight I could make out the small pixie-like stature and blonde hair.“Sage?” I called as the figure moved closer with a small smile, and as she drew closer, I could see that the curves of her face weren’t quite the same as Sage’s.“No, but you’re not far wrong, my daughter; bears a strong resemblance to me. My strongest footprint on the world I left behind.” She said with a hint of longing and sadness. “I’m Sasha.” She brushed all emotion away and held a hand out to me.“Am I dead?” I asked her, fearing the worst.“No, you’re not dead.” She smiled. “You are in between, a time and place where you can go with me an

36. Twilight

JamesI gritted my teeth and stumbled through the ghost road portal, pain ebbing away with every stiff step and the adrenaline of being closer to Gigi.“You okay?” Marcus asked. I nodded, but he looked at me with a small smirk. “Stiff upper lip, old friend, just remember she will be in your arms soon.” He was right; this pain would fade once I had her back. I could do this I was a warrior, and I had done far worse over the years. I just wished Jinx would stop napping like an oversized cat, so I was sure he had my back. Or maybe it was best that he was checked out for this because if he forced a shift in anger, he would have made shit of Dr. Tanner’s needlework over my operation site, and I would rather have my ass handed to me by a coyote than answer to him. The portal opened, and we stepped out onto a dry hillside, ducking behind a mound of rock. We waited after some hand signals for Eoin to do a quick recon. Ash crouched next to me and, in a voice only I could hear, spoke. “When thi

37. Rats in a Barrell.

GigiThey fussed over me in the strangest way, and an old woman insisted I bathe in warm, hot water she provided and then she went to work, rubbing oils into my skin and chanting strangely the whole time. I had managed to stash the rock potion Sasha had given me in a crack in the rock near where they had begun washing, and tending to me. I didn’t ask questions or cry. I sat there as the stony, perfect Mafia Princess, allowing these people to fall over me with an indifference on my face that did not match my insides. Inside I was a storm of emotions. Every time someone rounded the corner, I expected to see Luca, and every time it wasn’t him, I was elated. My heart was on some weird internal roller coaster as the old woman moved to braid my hair something shifted. I glanced at the doorway with hope, but nothing. Then I felt it again, a wave of emotion that didn’t belong. My hand fell instinctively to my neck, and I knew straight away it was something to do with James and our bond. James

38. Lady Beta

GigiI had fallen asleep somehow over the passage of time, and I was now completely disoriented. In my dreams, I had been with James, Luca, and my new friends. I wanted to stay there, but the little old lady was back, and she was waking me to eat.“Eat.” She said softly.“I am not hungry.” I bit back, but looking at the egg omlate before me, my stomach betrayed me. She chuckled and left the plate with a pathetic plastic fork, and walked away. I fought the urge to eat it, my stomach crying out and my head spinning at the scent of the egg and cheese. I caved and ate it. I had just finished when she came back with two strong, burly men in strange animal masks; they were bare-chested and had weird ruins and letters depicated on their skin in red and black thick crude paint."One unchained me and they hauled me to my feet as if I weighed nothing. My legs were numb and weak after good knows how long I had been sitting and lying on the clay ground. They allowed me the dignity to get my own

39. End of the Tunnel

James.A sharp pain rippled through my head, and I clutched my face.“What the fuck.” I growled. Sage looked at me with worry, her annoyance at labeling her vampire boyfriend Twilight now forgotten. Sage could never stay mad at me. “Are you all right?” she asked.The cold realization that it wasn’t my pain but it was Gigi’s as the bond grew.“It’s not me; it’s Gigi.” I admitted that any slightly jovial atmosphere we had found had dissipated instantly upon realization that time was ticking. A figure emerged from behind and I swear to the goddess the soul nearly left my body until I was able to make out the freakish pale feature of Marcus.“Fuck sake Twilight.” I growled as I settled my nerves. I was jumpy as hell because my wolf Jinx was still on his ass from our recent surgery and the fact they probably used wolfs bane to keep him sub duded. I spoke to him in my mind as we went back to single file walking. “Hey Jinx.” I called into the dark corner or my mind where he normally slinke

40. Droplets

GigiI was chained to the wall in the cavern I had seen before, the one that I had observed through Maria’s eyes. The place they had bled my brother dry and now intended to do the same to my sister and I. I had quickly undone the strands of my braid until I found the blood stone I had tucked there and turning my face to the wall I popped it in my mouth. I bit down on it and the thin smooth outer shell cracked like hard candy spilling the liquid over my tongue. I fought hard not to shudder at the salty, bitter taste that almost made me gag. I forced the liquid down, keeping a straight face so they wouldn’t know. I felt it strangely spread through my veins chasing the oils and enchantments they had worked into my skin in preparation for what was planned in this death chamber. I was now emboldened by the thought I had possibly hindered the ritual and went back to pulling on the chains. I didn’t catch what Emilio said but felt a familiar presence enter and my eyes snapped to a group bein
