All Chapters of Betrayed and Bonded: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

When I returned to the house, I discovered that there were more people there than I had expected. Mateo’s son stopped by and was accompanied by a female. “Uncle Ezra, so nice to see you. I brought my mate by to introduce her to my dad,” Diego greeted me. It was nice to see him. Diego doesn’t often visit. However, I was confused by his statement. Had he met a werewolf, too?“Mate? We don’t have mates, that’s a werewolf thing. We choose sexual partners,” I disagreed. “Actually, we do. It surprised me, too, Uncle. It wasn’t until Alexa got into a terrible car crash that I knew we were bonded together,” he explained. I looked at the girl and discovered that she wasn’t a vampire or a werewolf, but a human, which left me very confused by the situation. “What do you mean by you realized that you were bonded to your mate because she had been in a car accident?” Mateo asked. I could see that he was also wary of the situation.“I was hanging with Archer one night, because Alexa had been worki

Vanessa made it all too easy to begin getting revenge. The fact that I was able to pay back the thieving little asshole Lucien, too, was poetic justice. Phase two of payback is going to be epic. As soon as I left Alpha Riker’s office, I headed straight to the river. Well, not exactly straight to the river, I did drop by the pack house kitchen to procure a knife from the butcher block. Butcher, that is a fun little word. I certainly would have done just that if I had the time to do so. Unfortunately, in order to get into a position to lie in wait for the little bitch that started it all, I had to settle for raking my knife from ear to ear across Lucien’s throat. It was anticlimactic but satisfying as the scent of his blood filled my nostrils. The thrill of gleeful anticipation slid down my spine as I selected my place to wait to make my next move.Vanessa will not be that fortunate because I intend to draw out her punishment. The only thing I will not be able to do to her that has bee

The further we got into Vanessa’s pack’s territory, the more wolves leaped into the car to attack. “Do as little harm as possible! We don’t want to kill any of them, just deter them from attacking!” I shouted as we continued fighting. “Easy for you to say. These little fuckers are relentless!” Adrian shouted as he threw one of the wolves from the car. “Fuck it! The next one of these assholes that bites me will be eating through a straw for life!” Mateo shouted, shifting the car into park.I’m not sure we could handle this any differently, because the wolves seem to be agitated about something in addition to our presence. It would also be helpful if we could make contact with someone who is not in wolf form, so we can communicate with them about why we are here. “Shit!” Mateo shouted as one of the wolves tackled him midbody and sent him tumbling over the side of the car and onto the ground.“Adrian! Get Mateo!” I shouted as I grappled with two wolves myself.“On it! Not today, mothe

“Hey girl, you can’t give up here. You’re our only hope for revenge,” a familiar voice said. My brain may have been clouded with fog from wolfsbane and the recent events, but I would recognize that voice no matter what the circumstances.“Lucien? Is that you? How? I saw you. You’re dead,” I murmured, waiting for confirmation. Soon Lucien’s sad smile came into focus. “The moon goddess allowed me to say goodbye to one person. You’re in a pretty bad way right now, especially since Lena is down for the count. So, I told her I wanted to use my one goodbye with you,” he grinned wider, even though it didn’t quite meet his eyes.He looked the same as he always did, his beautiful blue eyes still took my breath away, perfectly combed short brown hair that begged for mussing, and a mischievous devil-may-care smile. Lucien was my first love. We had grown together, wished to spend our lives together, and then things changed.“I’m sorry for everything,” I whispered past the lump in my throat.“You

I didn’t even have to be told that the boy who suddenly appeared in the doorway was the one his mother should have swallowed. “Take care of that!” I shouted, shoving the boy out of the way and toward Adrian as Ezra and I went through the door together. Nothing could have ever prepared me for the sight at the bottom of the stairs. Vanessa was slumped in a chair, bound and gagged. Her head hung back as if she were staring at the ceiling. Her petite body was a mass of cuts and bruises. Her gorgeous sun-kissed locks were a tangled, matted mess. As I assessed the situation, I noticed two things: her swimsuit had been cut at the straddle, indicating that she had likely been raped, and she wasn’t breathing. “Help me get her loose!” I shouted at Ezra as I started ripping her bindings away. A million scenarios ran through my head as I freed Vanessa and laid her on the dirt floor. I knew how to perform CPR, and I checked for a pulse, but there was nothing. I had already seen that she was not
