I entered my bedroom and tossed Ryder in a small cage-like box, a cherry red seal shimmered off the iron bars that were only spaced not even four fingers apart.
“This box can’t keep me in here!” I said as I placed my hands on the iron bars but was pushed back.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you old man” I said as I locked the gate to the cage. I can see the rage in Ryders wooden black eyes, he was pissed that I put him in his little time outbox - I bent down to Ryder’s eye level “you see that cage is a magic neutralizing box, the more magic you use to get out the potent the zapping will be.
I gritted my teeth together, you little shit “Wait till I get out of here, you will be sorry doll maker!”
“We will see about that, Soul-keeper”
“You know, I’m actually surprised you didn’t figure it out sooner” I said scratching my cheek.
I sneered, looking at Ryder as he sat in the middle of the box - Now the real question that has b
A sharp dull pain ached deep in my chest breaking me out of my transpiring thoughts It was morning when I Woke up in Jax’s soft bed rolling over onto my back staring up at the ceiling wondering about Sunshine and where she was at since she hasn’t returned any of my calls or texts messages since our little adventure in the kitchen, I placed my hand directly over my heart Thinking it Must be heartburn, maybe from that pizza I ate last night “Good Morning Thunder” I said chuckling to myself “You miss her too don’t you, so do I buddy” I breathed out still trying to feel him under my skin but there was no movement in my chest, not even a yawn or a whimper in my head. He must be too weak still “It’s okay, get all the rest you can and once your all better we will kill Allen and take his pack for our own” I said sitting up and shifting my naked body to the edge of the bed, my feet planted firmly on the ground, and I let out a yawn. I wondered if Jax had given his servants instructions to st
I spent all day with Leo at the vampire knights training ground and I must say, His physical combat skills were very impressive -he is kicking my ass., but that was because I was worried about Thunder, he hasn’t made a movement all day or answered any of my mind- link calls. I know he’s there, somewhere, we shifted when Jax locked us in the room with him at Uncle Gary’s but after that night, I haven’t felt him since. “Please tell me what’s wrong so I can fix you, fix us” I kept asking him in a mind link, still no answer, only silence. Leo landed a blow on my belly, taking a cheap shot as my mind was somewhere else. I wiped the sweat from my brow, it must be high noon now that’s when the heat becomes more intense “Come on is that all you have?” I asked “You little shit” I groaned out loud with every blow Leo seemed to Land on my steel-like body -except this time, I was more like a jelly-filled doughnut absorbing every punch he tossed my way.
The bathroom was Quiet, I stood naked next to the large hot tub bath, it was almost as big as my room back at the Shadow-core packhouse but nowhere near this extravagant – the bath water was a clear ocean blue tint with a bunch of different aromas mixed in, I guess the mages here at the castle take their healing baths very seriously. I got in and slowly emerged myself under the mildly hot water, “come on buddy, where are you?” I asked as I sank deeper letting the water engulf over me completely, my eyes closed and I let my mind wonder in search for Thunder but I soon found myself back at the same woods I once roamed. “Thunder!” I yelled hoping he could hear me, but I got no answer back. I kept walking along the dull lifeless trees that were all around me “Thunder!” I yelled again -Still no answer “where can you be?” before I knew it, I was back at my old packhouse- it was quiet. But the smell of burning wood soaked the air around me -A sudden view of Allen carrying Kathy’s lif

I somehow managed to pull myself up to the front steps of my home “The Scarlet-Blade pack” - my knees buckled as a flash of burning pain overtook every inch of my thoughts. Shredding them to pieces right before my eyes. I couldn’t focus on what was in front of me- only the burning pain that felt like it was melting my insides. I took a few deep ragged breaths while reaching under on my left side “come on, you go this, if I don’t do it, I will be dead in minutes, come on,” I said giving myself a pep talk. I wrapped my palm around a piece of cold steel, gripping tightly. I can feel the poison that the blade has been dipped in rush through every single vein in my body, “On the count of three” I breathed out loud. “One” I gripped the steel handle tighter. closing my eyes. “Two” “Three” In a single slick motion, the sound of flesh ripping filled my ears and a loud grunt escaped my lips –“Oh fuck, that hurts like hell” I groaned, I looked at the silver knife that I pulled out of my side.
There he was, A Tall, well-muscled man, - chest completely naked, A green tattoo swirled across his skin, his body filled the entire door space of my bedroom – my eyes trailed his lower body landing on the only scrap of clothing he had on – his boxers, I can trace the outline of his junk imprint. Wow. Shit. Don’t look. “Seth, what do you think you are doing in here?” Henry asked as he sat at the edge of the ruffled bed watching him very closely. So, his name is Seth? “Do you know what time it is?” Seth asked walking into the poorly dimly lit bedroom, his red ruby eyes- trained to keep sight of his target. I let out a deep and tired sigh. “Hell, I don’t know, sometime after 3 A.M.?” Ding. Ding. We have a winner and it’s the stupid cat. Seth took a step towards Henry “That’s right” his voice roared out - ang
I turned around and pressed my back against the closed door and let out a tired sigh, A small whimper caught my ears as my eyes fell on Sunshine who sat up against the wooden headboard that was mounted on the wall behind her- her big owl eyes were the same color blue that I could never get out of my head ever since the first day I saw them staring back at me – They reflected with such sadness that could only be described as an endless sea and nothing for her to hold onto. Her thin blue nightgown pushed passed her bare knees exposing her full thick thighs as her legs were propped up against her pretty chest, I loved the way her curvy body was left exposed to me, she had no idea what I could do to her under a single touch. the dominant part of me wanted her to fear me, but the primal part of me craved to savor that look of fear and innocence on her sweet doll-like face. yet the obsessive part of me wanted to keep her safe, sheltered, and I would kill any man who dared to look her way.
A melody hummed behind the bedroom door -Ryder’s hands gently bowed a soft tune on his almost invisible violin -soothing Sunshine into a calming and relaxing state. – as she laid upon my chest, my hand stroking the top of her head. Many thoughts raced through my mind as I kept my gaze on the doll playing a lullaby. “So, you couldn’t leave it alone, could you?” I asked Ryder but he gave no response, only kept still in his place. -It didn’t take long before my ears perked up to a small breathing noise, I looked down and saw that my mate was completely asleep. My fingers softly gripped her chin tipping her face to me - My eyes memorizing the sweet look of innocence on her face -Her lips had a small rose-pink tint to them. Kissable. I leaned my face down meeting hers, my lips gently brushed against the flesh stealing a sweet and yet delicious kiss- claiming her mouth with mine. she must have felt the wetness of my tongue traced along the edges of her bottom lip when her blue diamond eye
