Off To The Races Elsie Silver Novels & Stories

Thanks to Maverick and the Seven Range Pact’s orders, Jeremy and his men wouldn’t be running headfirst into battle tonight, but they would be armed to the teeth all the same. Jeremy led Silver from the stable, mounted, and gave the beast a commanding kick. Silver shot through the camp and into the nearby forest at breakneck speed, rushing past the darkened pines and navigating the underbrush with ease. Jeremy would give Silver that much. He wasn’t the most obedient working horse for rounding up cattle on the main Grey Wolf ranch back home at Wolf Pack Run, but his speed was rivaled by none.

Rings of runes danced over the silver with echoes of protective spells so old they were elegant. “You have too much faith in me,” I whispered. “I trust you enough to believe you won’t torch the place if you think there’s still hope of winning this.” He locked eyes with me, uncompromising. “And you want to win, right?” he asked quietly. I said nothing. But I didn’t throw the token away. Elias did not dawdle. He departed with as much speed and precision as he had entered, always the way of the Everleys when obligations screamed louder than emotions. I heard the scrape of his boots down the spiral staircase before exhaling shakily. What I’d been holding in.

– Silver says, in amazement. - We can't waste time. We have many hours of travel. We're going to have to run as fast as possible. – the leader says. – we ran in our feral form. You have to use your speed. The human will have to be carried. She can ride one of us in turn, so we can share the effort. - I can also carry her part of the time. – Silver says. Romeo can't help. He has been weak all day, he has to save his energy for the race.

Their howls crashed through the night like waves battering the shore. “They’re faster than us!” Kaelen gasped, stumbling. “Keep running,” Elira snapped. “Do not stop until I say.” A shadow hurtled past them, slamming into the ground with a thud that shook the soil. One of the wolves had leapt ahead, blocking their path. Its silver eyes gleamed with hunger.

Her hand shot out, striking me hard across the face. “Weren’t you arrogant before? What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue? Remember this, Rosie. Stop reaching for what’s not yours. The future Luna will be me!” Before Silver Prison, I would have said proudly I was Daniel’s destined mate and that he loved only me. Now, I just held my burning cheek and whispered, “If you want it, take it.” I was going to die anyway. Jessica’s smile widened with satisfaction. “Even if you try to fight me, I have endless ways to send you back to Silver Prison. I heard some guy there tried to assault you? Shame you fought him off.”

“Things. I see…I have my mate too. We do things sometimes.” Elara’s head tilted. “Oh, you never mentioned her.” “I have not claimed her yet. She is human though so she does not know what I am or what a mate is.” “And you’re fucking her?” Elara asked, a sympathetic expression on her face. “That must feel horrible.” Silver chuckled bitterly. “Tell me about it. But once this is over, I am going to go serenade her. She is married though so she would have to dump that bald guy–”

“Wow! It is so beautiful! Alexander, I want one too!” I shrugged my shoulders. “OK, then just take it.” Alexander's face instantly turned dark. “Stop fooling around, this is equivalent to our wedding ring! Jessica, how can you just give it away to someone else?” I smiled. “But I do not think Lilith counts as someone else to us.” I snatched the bone ring and slid it directly onto Lilith's hand. Lilith giggled as she flaunted her hand toward Alexander. “Alexander, it fits me perfectly too!”

Cole stated as a completely ordinary looking lady stepped out in front of us, I mentally flicked through the book Peter had given me to see if I could remember another race besides guardians that had no obvious indication of their race, but I just hadn't spent enough time reading it to be able to say with any certainty. “Miss Drovnic, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Elsie Mason.” She held out her hand as I tried to control my surprise, I glanced at Cole briefly hoping he would give something away but his expression as usual when in the company of others, was stoic and controlled. He was much more relaxed when we were alone.

Bring her back to me. The spell culminated in its crescendo when the forest held its breath. Silver light cloaked Krishna and pulsed, taking on a faint green glow that flickered from deep within her chest. Her body arched, curving her back like a lightning jolt. Then she screamed.

Isabel replied her tone subdued. “Do you realize what this means Elsa, you’re the first in your bloodline and in your country to attend Sheffield Academy.” He added, his eyes still displaying his disbelief. I didn’t respond, I hardly cared about the record I broke. My hand caressed the soft mattress and I laid down without hesitation, settling in it. “Hey Elsa, you won’t report Oliver, right? You can’t do that.” Isabel said. “Well, If you treat me well, I’m sure we can come to some sort of understanding.” I responded with my eyes closed already.
