Ruthie POV Ding. I looked at my phone seeing Ivan's name pop up on the screen. “I will be walking into our bedroom in 5 minutes. And here’s what I will see: You will be waiting for me on your knees, completely naked, eyes down, exactly three steps in from the door. Your hair will be pulled up in a ponytail. I want you to be holding out the remote control for a vibrator of your choice. Get it on and in you. If none are charged, you will be punished. All our new toys will be neatly spread out on the bed, organized from smallest to largest. You will not make one sound until I say you can.” Five minutes?! Was he insane? “There will be one punishment for each thing not completed. Do you understand?” “Yes sir.” “Five minutes. Go.” I ripped off my clothes and threw them into the laundry basket. Our box of supplies was in the closet and I dragged it out, dumping it on the bed. Smallest to largest, I chanted to myself trying to make it as neat as I could, every once and a while nervou
John POV It was time to leave. The crisp morning air swirled Becca's hair in the wind as she latched her hand onto mine. Her breathing was shallow as we all headed to the runway together. "Everything will be fine love." I reassured her. She gave me a weak smile before we boarded the plane. My eyes widened as we entered. This plane was a lot nicer than Zander's other one. Made sense since this one was for tourism. It was much more comfortable than his other one as well. The interior was filled with white and brown leather with upscale finishings. "You've been holding out on me!" I teased Zander. "This plane is amazing, we should be going out in this one every time!" Zander took me flying often, ever since he got his license. He let out a sharp bark of laughter. "If you want to pay for all the extra fuel every single time sure!" We took off, flying south for our court date. We had planned it so we would get there just in time. I didn't want Rebecca or Ivan in Colorado for one se
Rebecca Pov My heart was pounding as we walked into the courtroom. At first, I thought it was because of the rush we were in but when I saw Lilly I felt like I was going to throw up. I knew we were in the right, but still going through all this only for her to be free? That would really suck. At the same time, I was just as nervous about winning. I had spent my whole life around death, and I didn’t wish it on my worst enemy, who right now happened to be Lilly. Lilly had already made her case by the time we walked in, and was sitting in the front looking smug in a yellow sundress with a matching hair ribbon pushing her perfectly curled hair off her face. Everyone else from the shadow mountain pack had already said their peace as well. The four of us were last to testify. I took the stand first, nervously recounting everything that had happened that day. It all went by so fast, before I knew it I was back on the wood bench and Ruthie was replacing me on the stand. "Ruthie, would you
Lilly POV It wasn’t fair that all the witnesses they brought were against me. But then again, I had no friends left at the shadow mountain pack. Patrick was literally the only person who would have vouched for me, but even he had eventually betrayed my trust. Even my own parents hadn’t shown up. Just the wolves in my transport patrol were there. While they agreed with me that Ivan was evil, they were a far cry from being my friends. I waited nervously as the elders debated. Surely they would see my side, they would understand. I told them everything right from the beginning. How Johnny and I were meant to be, but how he had been manipulated and brainwashed. How Ivan and Rebecca were imposters trying to take over my home, and wipe out our race pack by pack. That stabbing Patrick had been an accident. I couldn’t explain how everyone testified so perfectly without Ivan here. Perhaps his mind powers were stronger than I anticipated. But the elders, they would see through it. They were s
My head was pounding as I looked around. I was in some sort of cell and I started to panic. The last thing I remembered was I was running in for forest. Something must have gone wrong. But why didn’t I remember anything? I heard footsteps approaching and keys jingled before my cell door opened revealing three vampires glaring at me. One looked slightly familiar as I started to remember earlier events. The one I didn't recognize stepped forward. He had a very powerful aura around him, he must be their leader. I gulped. I didn’t want to do this anymore. As soon as I told them where Rebecca was they were going to kill me, I was sure of it. “Don’t be scared little wolf, we’re here to help you.” His voice was mesmerizing and instantly calmed me. Kind, but somehow cold at the same time. “It is my understanding that you would like Rebecca to leave your pack, I want the same thing. We are on the same side, we can help each other.” “What...What do you want?” I stuttered. “Simple, you just t
I awoke with a familiar view, I was in my old cell, the one Rebecca had put me in the day we first met. Footsteps approached and keys jingled. Unlike the relief I had gotten from seeing Ivan walk into my cell that first time, I felt dread as the door opened to reveal three vampires. Two I recognized from the department store, Julius was the name of one, but the other was a new face. “Nice of you to join us again mutt,” Julius spoke with a smirk. “Enjoyed our hospitality so much you came back for more?” The one with long black hair chimed in. The third held up his hand for silence. He must be the one in charge. “It’s nice to have you in our cells again John.” Shit, he knew my name, Lilly must have talked. I kept my poker face on and my heart steady. “You know my name, but who am I talking to?” I had a feeling, but that didn’t make his next sentence go down any smoother, “My Name is Claude. King of the vampires. As I understand it, our friend Ivan had been spreading lies about whe
“Rebecca felt that you got hurt and went after you. The king was still in the warehouse and confronted her. I don’t fully know what happened but her and Ruthie are in the cells. Ivan and I didn’t make it in time." I forgot how to breathe as I realized my worse fear had come true. The king had her. “We’re coming in to get all of you." “No! They are expecting you to come for me and are prepared. Lilly is planning on taking over the pack. She made a deal with the Vampires. Send word back to Shadow Mountain, I can get us out myself.” “We’re not going to leave you here, you sound like you’re in rough shape.” “That's an order Killian, you and everyone who’s still here are to stay at the Eclipse pack. I’ll be able to fight my way out and get the girls to safety in a few hours. I’ll meet you then.” I could feel how uncomfortable he was when he spoke again, “Alpha. You chose me because I can make hard decisions that others can’t make. You chose me because I can see the big pictur
"Rebecca, don't panic," Ruthie said softly. "You can get us out of here, I know you can. Just take a few deep breaths and focus, just like Ivan taught you." "I'm so sorry Ruthie, this is all my fault! I thought I could face him but I..." "Don't worry about that right now." She kept her tone smooth and comforting. "Just focus.” I looked over at her slumped on the wall, her clothes torn and her body bruised. She was standing in a puddle of blood…Too much blood. I had gotten her into this mess, I needed to get her out. I tried to steady my breathing, to get my mind off of Claude, but I was distracted by a cackle coming from the door. "Finally! The both of you right where you belong" Lilly was peering in from the small barred window. She looked fine. "Lilly! what are you doing?” I almost screamed at her. She was in a good position to escape and here she was gloating. "You've got to get out of here! Claude, he's going to kill you!" She just laughed some more. "Oh he may have killed a
