Chapter 17“They went to do what?” Chaskai grit.“It’s way to dangerous out there!” Nadia alerted.“I didn’t know what was going on. I just thought Aaron was held up.” Cheyenne said.“He was probably shot. The hunters are all over our territory if he was.” Chaskai growled.“Hunters?” Cheyenne didn’t believe it.“Yes hun, hunters.”“You mean there are outsiders that know about you? That want you dead?”Nadia nodded.“If Aaron was shot, we’ll need to get the bullets out. Damn it.” Chaskai growled.“He’ll die...”Nadia whispered.
Chapter 18“Did I say something wrong?” Aaron croaked, confused.“I’m gonna take him upstairs...”Havana said, dragging Aaron away.Cheyenne didn’t let it go that easy.“What was he talking about?” Cheyenne asked, crossing her arms, facing Skylar and Chaskai.“Cheyenne, don’t get mad at Skylar.” Nadia said from behind her.“Nadia, let him handle it.” Chaskai said softly.Cheyenne raised an eyebrow at Skylar waiting for him to say something.Skylar held his hand out to her.“Come. We need to talk.” Skylar said, gently.Cheyenne frowned and walked past him, ignoring his hand and making her way upstairs.That hurt Skylar and he looked to Chaskai.“Just be honest. It’s all you can do.”Nodding, Skylar made his way upstairs and to his room wh
Chapter 19Cheyenne stood there, mouth agaped and wide eyed as Skylar tried to explain further before she blew a top.“I would have to nearly kill you and then bite you. But I wasn’t going to do any of that until you were comfortable with me.”“Kill me?!” Cheyenne blurted.“No, no...”“Bite me?! Are you kidding me?!”“Princess—““I can’t believe I was so stupid! You want to put me through a bunch of pain and torture and for what?! So you can keep me for the rest of your unnatural life?!”“Listen for a second—““No! You listen for a second! I trusted you! I let you in! Only for you to turn around and lie to me, ke
Chapter 20It was quiet in the car for the first few miles before Nadia had finally broke the silence.“You want to tell me what the hell this is all about?”Cheyenne was quiet as she continued driving causing Nadia to frown.“Hello!”“I just need to get away for a minute okay. After just being told that the guy—or wolf I’m falling for is trying to basically turn me into that, I need a break.”“You weren’t supposed to find out like that, honey. Skylar has a whole plan to ease you into everything.”“Ease me into it?” Cheyenne frowned.“Cheyenne, sweetie, you stayed here with us after Skylar shifted for you. If you were so afraid or whatever, why didn’t you run?&rdqu
Chapter 21Cheyenne’s heart stopped and all the snacks in her arms felt heavy, too heavy. She ended up dropping the snacks and turning to face her demon.“What the hell are you doing here?”Oliver tilted his head and smiled wickedly at her.“You thought I wouldn’t find you, sweet heart? I’ve always known where you were.”“What?”“There’s never a day I didn’t or don’t know where you are.”Cheyenne froze in her spot. He always knew where she was? How could that be possible?“Well, no. I don’t always know where you are. That day when you went ice skating with that disgusting man, I don’t know where he took you.”She looke
Chapter 22Nadia sped down the highway, headed straight back to the pack house.She had an unconscious Cheyenne in her passenger seat and snuck glances at her to make sure she was okay.After Nadia had beat Oliver nearly to death, she rushed back into the room to pack up their things and get out of there. That’s when she found Cheyenne passed out on the floor with tear streaks down her face.Nadia could hear that she was still breathing and her heart beat was shallow. Nadia had predicted that maybe her shock finally caught up to her.Nadia honestly didn’t know what happened to Cheyenne, she just knew that she needed to get her to her mate.Horns beeped out loudly as Nadia bobbed and weaved through lanes to get back to the pack house.Nadia thought long and hard about wh
Chapter 23Cheyenne managed to calm down enough to talk to Skylar and answer some of his questions.She had told him most of what happened, how Oliver ran up on her out of nowhere and threatened him.Skylar raised a dark eyebrow.“He said he’d kill me?”“That’s why I lashed out. The thought of anyone hurting you just makes me angry. So I cut him. He wasn’t too happy about that.”Skylar growled.“He touched you?”“He grabbed my knife and shoved me against the vending machine. He pushed my arm against my back.”Skylar’s low growl startled Cheyenne as he kept her gaze, eyes blazing with fury.She knew that his anger wasn’t geared at her and she knew he wouldn’t hurt her.“You cut him for thr
Chapter 24Skylar seemed surprised by her answer. He never thought he’d only have to ask her and she’d just say yes.“What?”He couldn’t wrap his head around it. He wanted her, but he expected it to take a bit longer.
