Elena POVI emerged from the curtain and leaped down off the stage to halfway across the room where Serenity was shielding a child. I twisted the one Rogue's neck then tore the other's arm off. Serenity jumped to my side whispering in shock, "Elena! your eyes, they are..." I blinked a few times realizing my mistake. No one knew about Davina, not even Serenity. I gave Serenity a confused look and decided to cause a distraction by throwing a fireball at one of the Rogues."Holy shit girl! That was amazing. I knew you could throw fireballs." Serenity was jumping up and down while both prisoners and Rogues were trying to flee. A man grabbed the young girl Serenity was trying to save and he held a knife to her throat. Serenity lounged at the man, but he side stepped her. "Tis tis, not so fast, or I'll end her life." He warned us. Another man came up behind Serenity and then another behind me, holding a knife to our necks. I could feel the sting against my skin, knowing instantly that is
Elena POVI was only a few feet from the hospital, but I barely had any energy left. Between fighting the Rogues, to using magic, and now practically carrying Serenity, I felt physically drained. My body could just give out any moment. Mentally, I was barely coherent. The whole way to the hospital I cursed Ryker's name, which Serenity only let out a sigh or moan in agreement. I didn't understand how he could be so hot and cold. One minute he looked at me in a way that nobody ever has, making every part of me give into him, then the next he treated me like some idiot child. On top of that, he treated all my friends like they were worthless, sitting below his feet. It infuriated me that I couldn't even be thankful for when he saved me or how he helped me so easily with fire magic. Anytime I felt a spark of gratitude, I was instantly reminded what a self-righteous Alpha he really was. Davina wasn't any help either. She was one extreme to the next. One moment wanting to rip his clothe
Ryker POVI couldn't get the words that boy said out of my head. "She is in the cells under the castle, but not for long." I needed Elena safe, but I couldn't waste my chance to save my sister. Then she just blurts out where the dungeons are. This girl made no sense. I immediately mid-linked my mom and brother to get to her as quickly as possible. Elena's eyes turned pure silver looking to me. I knew danger was coming, but damn was she sexy as hell when she let her wolf free. I felt a gust of air push against my chest, twirling my body in the wind storm she created to send me away in. "Fuck me!""Sorry and thank you!" She yelled as I flew farther and farther out of sight. I'm going to strangle that little she-wolf one day.Once I gathered myself from being thrown a 1000 ft from Elena's air magic I raced to the library. I was in desperate need to get to my sister before it was too late.My mind was racing a mile a minute at what Elena had just done though. I was pretty sure she has a
Elena POVI let Davina take over so she could speed her way to the forest. I needed to get as far from Ryker as possible. I was almost positive he would head to the dungeons, but I didn't want to get caught if his big bad wolf decided to hunt me down instead. I was 99% sure he wouldn't kill me. With all the trouble I found myself in lately, I figured that it was more like a 70/30 chance of living through one of Ryker's black eyed rages. After winding through the woods, heading north of the river I found the fields I needed. It was technically a bordering pack's territory, but I prayed no one saw me steal some herbs. I planned on using some earth magic to make the ground fertile while increasing other crops production and I hoped it would be enough to compensate what I took.I would of ask them, but I never even met them before. I didn't have time to find the Alpha and wait for permission. My people were dying and without these herbs they wouldn't heal. I had three bags slung over my
Ryker POVI was sitting on the bed quietly playing with the little boy from earlier. I knew I had a huge smile plastered on my face as I flew an airplane above the boy's head. I missed having this time to play with my younger brother's and now they were too old to want to. I looked up immediately catching Elena's eyes and I found myself lost in them for a moment. My wolf perked up at her presence, demanding I claim her, but I pushed him down. He was a dominant fool that wanted the strongest female and I wasn't giving into that primal need of his.Elena jumped from the trance when someone loudly cleared her throat next to her. I guess she caught that little moment too. I looked to Serenity who was giving Elena knowing eyes and Elena just shook her head back to her. Elena's eyes shifted between Serenity and Nate who was now at the back tables unloading bags of herbs. Her shoulders drop and face saddened, making me curious what going through her head. Something was upsetting her. She s
Elena POVI didn't know how exhausted I was until I closed my eyes and fell asleep instantly.I rubbed my eyes, trying to force them to remain open. I was anxious to help and heal my people. I stretched my body, then jumped up, slapping my cheeks. I needed to know where everything was at.I saw Carmelita and slowly walked her way. "Hey Doc, please tell me we have made good progress?" "Oh yes, princess, we sure have. We already sent everyone that was in the other wing home. Over two hundred wolves with minor injuries are all healed with no wolfsbane in their blood. The herbs you and Beta Nate brought were truly a lifesaver.""I'm so glad to hear that. I wanted to help more, but I needed to realize how tired I was. I'm all charged up now, though. What needs to be done?""Oh, princess, that isn't necessary. You should head home and let us finish. We are here to serve you.""Carmelita, I didn't ask your opinion if I can help. I ask how I can help, but if you prefer, I can order you instea
Ryker POV"Because finally, we are all alone, princess." My voice came out in smooth velvet waves as I slid around the table, inching my large, hard body into hers. Our faces were only inches apart; my piercing blue eyes bore into her lavender-blue ones, sending both fear and excitement through her body. I would never tire of the effect I had on this powerful she-wolf.She wasn't sure what game I was playing, but she knew to be weary of my intentions. "And what do you plan on doing with me now that we are all alone?" Elena asked coyly, crossing her arms over her tight black shirt to hide her fear. I hummed as her breast pushed up from the gesture, but I quickly returned my gaze to her eyes. "Do you think I forgot what you did to me earlier or the many secrets you are keeping?""I did what I needed to help my people, Ryker, and my secrets are not of your concern.""They are when you use them to hurl me half a mile down the road or blast me through a wall!" My eyes turned a deeper blue
Chris POV Damien walked on the opposite side of the hallway as we cleared the rumble from the south wing. We have already cleared two other paths so the staff can collect more supplies.As we approached piles of cement blocks, we picked up the largest ones to carry outside. It was getting ridiculous how we both couldn't help but try to outdo the other.I wouldn't look like some weak Beta to this little Alpha. Damien had an edge to his attitude because he thought being an Alpha meant more. I was a Shadow wolf, born with Alpha blood, too.Damien was part of the Trio, so he needed to die no matter what. I had no reason to hate him other than that, but I also convinced myself Damien was just as malice and evil as all the other Alphas in his line. The more time I spent around these kids, the more it muddled my head.I noticed the heavy, continuous labor warring on him and smiled. He was an Alpha but didn't train like Shadow wolves. It would be close in a fight, but in endurance, I would ha
