I was sitting anxiously in the same position in which Logan left me. But that didn’t mean I was sitting ideally. I was trying to break free, but if only it was that easy.I heard a sound coming from outside and I halted whatever I was doing. I wanted to come as helpless and not some fierce wolf.Lizzie returned, and I watched with a mixture of confusion and dread as she set up a table and a TV in front of me. My heart raced as I wondered what torment she had in store for me now. She turned to me with a sinister smile and said, "Werewolves have committed many sins over the centuries, Grace, and now it's time for atonement."I stared at her, a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach, as the TV screen came to life, and Xander's familiar face appeared. My heart ached at the sight of him, and I felt a pang of despair when I saw Emma, sitting in his lap, trying to seduce him. My voice quivered as I whispered, "No, Xander..."Lizzie's mocking laughter echoed in my ears as she taunted, "You
The person was none other than Logan.A wave of relief washed over me as I watched him coming toward my cell. But I was a little shocked to see him here, especially after the poison Lizzie had injected into him. Also when she told me that Logan was as good as dead, I thought she was able to subdue him.But that might not be the case, because Logan was standing in front of me, looking at my busted head he came toward me, his desperation and determination evident in his eyes. He attempted to break the chains restraining me, but the metal held firm. Frustration marred his face.“Y..Yo..You can’t do this with your bare hands. The poison that Lizzie gave you was potent and had made your wolf a little weak. We have to do this the old-fashioned way. Go find some tools.” I said, my voice still raw, but I managed to form some sentences.He looked at me, hesitating to leave me alone but then nodded, thinking that this was the only viable option for us, if we wanted to get out of this miserable
Daisy’s POVLizzie stirred, groggily awakening from her stupor, and I couldn't help but smirk at her feeble attempt to regain control. I strode over to her, my voice dripping with mockery as I taunted, "Well, Lizzie, it seems your dark magic isn't as impressive as you thought. It was actually very weak. I see kids with better tricks than you."Lizzie's hateful glare met my gaze,“Don’t be so overconfident. Just because you were able to defeat me doesn’t mean sh*t to me. My master won’t let somebody like you disrupt our plans. We are meant for greatness and you are nothing but a stain on the witch's name.” She spat out her threats.I raised an eyebrow in response, unimpressed by her empty bravado. I was never one to tolerate witches who used their powers for sinister purposes.“Yeah, because you are just glorifying our name right? You tried to kill your own daughter. What kind of mother are you?” I hissed at her.I saw she tried to give poison to Xander which could have harmed Emma and
Grace’s POVI was looking at Xander in complete shock, Lana howled inside me and I could see flashes of Lucas’s desperation in Xander’s eyes. If Xander had not been holding me, I would have fallen down on the floor.In that electrifying moment, Xander shook off all restraints, his hands cupping my face with a fierce tenderness. His voice boomed through the room as he powerfully roared, "Mate!" to me, the word resonating with a force that left me breathless.I gazed into his eyes, my heart swelling with a love I never thought possible. A tear of joy and relief slipped from my eye, and I smiled at him, my voice quivering as I whispered, "Xander."With a soul piercing howl, I leaped into his arms hugging him tightly, I wanted to mold his body into mine if it was possible. I wanted him to be with me, and the word “mate” from his mouth for me, was my undoing.I couldn’t believe that just a few moments ago I was reeling from his betrayal, was ready to go to any length to make him miserable
While we were talking about the next step, the doors swung open, revealing a disheveled and bewildered Daniel.He took one look at crying Emma, and his expression changed from confused to horrified. He slowly took in the scene unfolding in front of him, and myriads of expressions came on his face, from confusion to rage to shock. Each one is better than the last.“What is going on over here?” he asked in bewilderment.“This is what we should be asking you?” Daisy confronted him.“Excuse me? You are standing in my house and under my roof, and you are questioning me?” Daniel roared, forgetting for a minute that there were many senior officials present there.“It’s good that you know and accept the fact that it’s your roof and your house. So let me rephrase my question. Were you aware what Lizzie and Emma were doing in YOUR house?” Daisy taunted him, mockery clear in his voice.“What?” Daniel was confused but his voice wavered a little as if he was not completely unaware about it.This m
When we reached home we were welcomed very enthusiastically by Mason. Our home was full of maids and packmates, who came bearing gifts and wishes.The environment was overwhelming and I felt loved.“This is a little weird,” I told Xander through the mind link.“How so?” he asked.“Sometimes pack members look at me like they can’t believe that I am your mate and sometimes they look at me like they are blessed to have me by your side. It gives me whiplash.”This earned me a hearty laugh and I narrowed my eyes at him.“Most of my pack members just love you and some like the Elders have this notion that old traditions should be maintained and that includes my pack’s rivalry with yours. They don’t understand that I was yours the day you looked at me, in that forest,” he replied.“You tried to kill me,” I snorted at him.“No, I held you under my body, like I want you now. You felt my length and I felt your plump body, you had me under your palm.” he purred.My face reddened and I started ta
I moaned when I felt something hard pressed against my *ss, a warm hand was gripping my neck.“I am sore Xander.” I groaned as he tried to slip his hand under the blanket.“Call me, “mate”,” he growled and drew me closer to him.“What’s this sudden change?” I purred, I liked teasing him.His face scrunched and he scowled.“No change, you have always been mine, now it’s time to take what’s mine,” he growled and kissed me.I pushed him, and he groaned.“What is this Gracie,” he whined.“Be a good boy and I might give you a treat later in the night,” I said in a sultry voice, running my finger on his exposed chest.“Is that a promise,” his eyes darkened as he sn*ked his hand around my waist.“A promise that I am willing to keep,” I trailed kisses along his jaw and he cursed under his breath.“I need a cold shower,” he muttered and left.I chuckled at him.A lot of things had changed between us, and I was loving this new environment. I love how I had control over him without being an over
Xander had me pinned by the wall and was ready to devour me, but then I caught a sign of a little spark behind us, and my eyes widened.“Oh, hell, no.” I cursed under my breath.“What happened?” Xander asked and turned to look behind him.There Daisy was standing with blazing eyes and she had turned the whole tree into a pile of ashes.I rushed toward her, “What happened?” I asked her, I could feel the rage pouring from her, but when she looked at me, I was shocked.She grinned at me like nothing happened.“I powered up.” She chuckled and left the three of us with shocked expressions, but Mason was a little scared too.I wanted to ask Mason what happened but thought it was better to leave things as it is, no good would come out if we escalated things.The four of us, Me, Xander, Daisy, and Mason headed back to the courthouse. The trials were supposed to happen this afternoon, but what I found funny was Daniel was the one who would be accusing Lizzie of her crimes as if he wasn’t part
