Semua Bab The Wolf Hunter's Daughter : Bab 111 - Bab 117

Magnus I woke with a head that was pounding as if someone had taken a hammer to it. There was a weight on my chest, hair in my face and a familiar scent in the room. It reeked of sex and bourbon.“What the hell…” Glaring sunlight streamed into the room. Too bright. Groaning, I pushed the weight off my chest.The weight turned out to be a woman, blonde, naked and asleep. Next to her, Erik lay stark naked on his back, snoring like a field worker in midsummer. My head was splitting. I got off the bed, stumbled over empty bottles of bourbon towards the window.“Where the fuck are we?” I closed the curtains quickly and leaned my head against the cold wall, needing some relief.I struggled to remember what happened after we left the Chaumont house. There was only the grief I felt at seeing the site where Ignatius buried Victoria. Buried her like a dead dog underneath an oak tree. I saw it in his memories that day when I probed his mind. If I could resurrect him to kill him again, I would.

MagnusA tense silence descended in the interior of the limo after I received the text from Hein. The only sound was the powerful roar of the motor that mirrored the pounding of my heart in my head. Soon I will have Erina in my arms again. The driver couldn’t drive fast enough. Erik looked at me with eyes full of concern. “Magnus…”“Goddammit, Erik. I will not hurt her. How many times must I tell you; I LOVE her? I couldn’t hurt her even if I tried.” I reached to get a drink but remembered I had finished all of it. Disappointed, I sank back against the soft leather.“If that text was from Hein, he got to her first.” Erik remarked.“Yes!

Hein would explain himself while I stripped the flesh from his back. If he so much as touched her…“It’s strange…” Erik mused, chewing on hi

MagnusAnother man. A human. Was this history repeating itself? I left Hein’s quarters and shuffled through the castle grounds like a blind man, cobblestones scraping against my boots. She was happy, Daphne said, her words echoing in my mind. And left me to suffer alone. Didn’t I give her everything she asked of me? I gave her my heart, and she trampled all over it, grounding it to dust. She asked for my fidelity, and what did she do? Run to another man. Just like her mother.If this were the fulfillment of the prophecy, well, congratulations. Well done. I was dead inside. A living corpse. Erik said she would come back to me if I let her choose. Why would she? I used her. I took everything from her, her virginity, her freedom, her soulmate… Ignatius was right, the bastard. She fulfilled her destiny.A soft hand on my arm brought me out of my reverie. It was Elise. She brought with her the sweet scent of spring blossoms, a cruel reminder of a new life. A life without Erina.“What do yo
