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.
Chapter 25Cheyenne found herself tied against the wall in chains again. She’s become used to the abuse by now and felt numb to it.Oliver paced back and forth in front of her, telling her about his day. Like she cared.“I saw a picture of you on a ‘missing persons’ board today.” Oliver smiled, reveling in the memory.“I guess someone is looking for you. Never thought I’d see the day when you were being looked for. It’s not like you have any family.”Cheyenne grit her teeth but said nothing.“But y
Chapter 26After their heated shower, they went back to their rooms and dressed in sweats.Skylar watched as Cheyenne pulled the gray sweats over her curvy body, up to her waist and pulled a sports bra over her breasts.Skylar decided to just stick with sweat pants.Cheyenne kept her back to him as she pulled her luscious, locked hair into a pony tail at the top of her head.Skylar has wanted to mate her over an over again in the shower but he refrained, not wanting to scare Cheyenne back into her shell.He was loving that she was moving so freely and speaking her mind and allowing him to touch her. Soon she’d let him truly finish their bond. Skylar was looking forward to it.“You’re staring.” Cheyenne said, glancing at him in the mirror.
Chapter 27Cheyenne didn’t feel anything but love and safety in Skylar’s arms. The close proximity nearly had her pushing away but she knew there was no need.After last night, Skylar making love to her, something seemed to change in her. She didn’t feel all the terrible feelings like she had before.The way he caresses her with such care as if the scars on her body were a part of her, not violently inflicted made her feel like she was more than just some helpless victim. He had breathed her in and kissed her like she was the one and only woman for him.The warmth emitting from Skylar’s body calmed her. The strength behind his snug hold made her feel small and protected. She never thought she’d know l
