Alle Kapitel von Betrayed and Bonded: Kapitel 61 – Kapitel 70

“Have you heard what happened yet?” Tasha asked her sister while we sat at the dining table late the next morning.“You mean with Camille? Yes, I did. She was in really rough shape. But Master Ezra gave her more than enough chances to change and apologize,” Trisha replied. “I can’t believe that Adrian didn’t just kill her and put her out of her misery. Can you imagine trying to survive in such conditions? I mean, if she makes it into the city, people will run away in horror when they see her. I would kill myself if it happened to me,” Tasha replied. I listened to the two women talking while I ate my breakfast and was astonished by the things they said had been done to Camille after Adrian got hold of her. It made me realize just how vicious he really could be. They talked of cuts and bruises, missing fingernails, and her hair being cut extremely short. It sounded like a truly heinous experience. In all honesty, it made me ill to listen to what happened to the woman. I wondered why s

I am finally healed enough that I can shift and resume the search to bring that bitch back home. Alpha Riker has granted me a reprieve of one week on the remainder of my sentence, allowing me to join the search efforts. He says that at this point, it is more critical that Vanessa be brought home to begin assuming her role as the pack’s next female lead warrior. No way in hell I am going to let that happen. Even if, by some crazy chance, Vanessa is found, I will do whatever it takes to ensure she does not claim her title. I lost mine over this bullshit, so she is not going to have hers either. I personally hope I find her before anyone else does, because I have plans for my slut mate. She will regret her birthday from this day forward. Right now, I am going to find an Omega and get a little payback for all of the pain I have suffered from Vanessa’s actions over the last several days. Two can play that little game. Now all I have to do is pick my unsuspecting target. Watching the pea

“So what are we going to do? We can’t just let Vanessa leave?” I asked Ezra once everyone else had left the living room.“What can we do? She already left. She doesn’t love us and didn’t want to stay,” he murmured, looking thoroughly dejected.“I refuse to believe that, brother. We just need to convince her that what was done to Camille was in her best interest,” I argued. “How was torturing a human for three days in Vanessa’s best interest?” he questioned. “It was better than cutting out Camille’s tongue or just killing her on the spot. Both of which would have been suitable given the circumstances. Who knows if Camille would have gone from verbal attacks to something more? I don’t think any of our servants truly know how to kill a vampire, but there is always a chance I could be wrong. It isn’t like we can go back and change what happened, though, Ezra. We have to go after Vanessa,” I stated.“Go after her and do what? Drag her back here? That would never work. If she doesn’t want

“Listen, Adrian, I know you don’t like me, and I am okay with that. I wouldn’t be bothering you now if Mateo and Ezra were here. But they aren’t, and I was told that they left hours ago to look for me. I was just wondering if you know where they went or possibly when they will be back?” I questioned with a sigh.“Who knows if they will even make it back, Poochie. They were going to look for your pack to see if you possibly made it home safely. I told them it was a bad idea. Looks like I was right, again,” he informed me.I was glad I lost my appetite because my heart sank into my stomach, and that sick feeling of dread washed through me. “You aren’t being serious, are you? Adrian, they will be killed on sight. We are taught to attack first, ask questions later. My parents could very likely be the ones who end their lives,” I told him with fear growing in my heart.“What are the chances that they will even find your pack, though, Poochie? Besides, they are both pretty skilled fighters;

“Were you born a werewolf or do you get turned into one? I watched this movie one time where a werewolf bit this man and then the next full moon he turned into one himself,” Tasha questioned. I kept from rolling my eyes because the question was harmless, even if naive. “First off, we are big proponents of the sanctity of all life forms. We don’t run around biting humans to turn them into werewolves. I was born a werewolf, and I live in, or should I say lived in, a pack with my parents and other pack members. Only in rare instances, when a werewolf discovers they have a human mate, do we ever mark someone who is not one of our own kind. But even in those cases, the chances of the human being blessed with a wolf of their own are very slim,” I shared. “But that is an extremely rare occurrence, since we really don’t have a lot of human contact to be honest,” I added. “So are there other animals that people turn into?” she asked.“Shift. We shift into our wolves, and I can say I have nev
