Tori POV After the meeting was over, I apologized to Dr. MacDonald for my behavior, but there was something about Alpha Black that I wasn’t comfortable with. Without going into too much detail about my abilities, I explained I saw something in the healing bond that Mystic was very wary of. He wanted to talk more about it, but I was not feeling too well diving through that man’s clouds. I also thought it would be best to discuss with my Alpha what I saw and felt. Being the Alpha of one of the most powerful and largest packs on this side of the country, the information might be of use. Eric and Tammy helped me to the car, and we drove back to the pack in silence. After what the doctor witnessed, he suggested I go home and rest. We pulled up the driveway to the packhouse and Eric parked the car. Shutting off the engine, all three of us just sat there quietly thinking about what had just happened. I was angrier about his treatment of Eric than anything.
Victor POV I sat silently watching her chest rise and fall with each silent breath. Her eyes closed, but she looked every bit the angelic beauty she is. Her long eyelashes fanned across her cheek. Her dark hair splayed out across her pillow looking as if she was floating. A slight pink shade covered her face and her lips a rosy, red just begging to be kissed. If it weren’t for her passing out from shock, I’d be kissing them right now. Thinking back to the events that led us here, I cringed at the thought of yelling at her. Especially dragging her up to the office and throwing her in the chair. What the hell was the matter with me?! I have never treated anyone let alone Tori like that! Honestly, I was scared. Truly and honestly to the bone scared at what I had witnessed. Never before have I seen someone bring a being back from the dead. Maybe in black magic practices they do that, but not a sweet innocent healer like Tori. I knew Alpha Rick had som
Merrick POV It’s been a while now since Tori healed the warrior. After her amazing abilities brought him back, he was taken to the hospital. I watched as Victor practically dragged her back to my office. If I didn’t know he was scared at what he’d seen, I would have ripped his head off for treating her so harshly. I didn’t need to say anything anyway for she gave him an earful and I couldn’t help smiling to myself. After explaining to her what happened, Tori didn’t take it well and passed out. My heart was in pieces having to explain it all to her. I know she didn’t ask for this ability, but she will learn how to use it properly. I had Victor take her back to her room and sit with her until she wakes up. It’s been quite an eventful day for her, so I expect her to be out for most of the day. Sitting alone in my office, my mind is all over the place. I am scared for Tori. Hopefully no one understood what happened with Ryder, but I know a
Tori POV “Make me yours, mate!” He crushed his lips to mine, and we continued our sultry dance that only lovers do. With gentle hands that flowed down my sides and across my belly. Lifting one thigh, he lowered himself between my legs. One hand held his weight as the other continued to explore my body. I ran my hands down his perfectly toned chest and wrapped them around his waist, gripping the muscles of his firm ass. I heard him growl low in his chest and began nipping at my neck, biting a trail down to my shoulder. With a sharp intake of breath, I wrapped my other leg around his waist, and I could feel his excitement on my center. “Tori… tell me your mine!” Victor demanded in a stern but pleading tone although his gaze was soft as a caress. I could feel the tingling in the pit of my stomach, my heart jolted, and my pulse raced as I dragged my nails down his back earning me another round of growls and moans.
Victor POVMy heart raced and Ivan howled in joy at finally claiming our chosen mate. Although we could not mark each other, it still didn’t diminish what we both shared. I could feel the bond strengthen as soon as we surrendered our virtues to one another. I could feel Ivan come to the surface and share my feelings and vision as I saw Mystic quickly show herself through Tori’s eyes.We finished our shower and were getting dressed. I sat on the bed and watched her brush her hair. She looked like an angel, my dark-haired beauty standing before me. My love for her grows with each passing minute. I could not fathom a life without her. It physically pained me to have such thoughts, so I pushed them away and focused back on her. She stared back at me with a grin on her face. “You look more and more beautiful every day.” Just as I expected, I noticed a deep flush appeared on her cheeks and neck, and I chuckled. Too cute. “Victor, stop.” She whined as I chuckl
Tori POV I stood over my father with my hands squeezing his as tight as I could. My mind was searching his for the healing tether. Mystic came forward and used her abilities to tie into Apache. The problem was, Apache was an Alpha wolf. They are very strong, independent, and proud. Even though I was his daughter, and an Alpha myself, Alpha wolves are still too proud to accept help.“Damnit Apache!” I screamed at him through the healing bond. He was pulling his own healing magic to help Rick but continued to block me out. What the hell was he doing!? I am trying to heal him from the excessive bleeding from the knife wound. The knife had entered in the center of his chest just below the sternum, barely missing his heart, but it did crack a couple of ribs. Suddenly, my hands started to burn, then my arms, then the sensation traveled throughout my body. It felt like flames were melting my skin from the inside. I looked down at the knife and noticed that it was silver. The
Merrick POVI opened the door to see Corinne standing there with tears rolling her face. I noticed a silver knife in her hand pointed right at me.“Corinne? What are you doing?” She took a step towards me, and I stepped back.“You. Are. Mine!” Before I could move, she plunged the knife into my chest, and I dropped to the floor gasping for breath. My head was spinning and everything was fuzzy.“Victor….. help.” I mindlinked him just before my eyes went dark and I passed out.My mind had awakened before I even opened my eyes. I could hear people talking, an annoying beep, and a rush of air. A strong smell of bleach or cleaner, soft linen and…. Fresh roses and rain. I smiled to myself knowing that wonderful scent. Teaghan was here. I tried to move my arms, but they felt like they were full of lead. My body was tired and heavy, and my mind was exhausted. I groaned out my discomfort and a moment later I felt a warm hand gripping mine.“Alpha?” I heard her sweet angelic voice call to me. Sh
Victor POV We were all cheering and smiling with relief as we heard that the Alpha would be okay. I could tell Tori was so scared that she was shaking so much until the doctor spoke. I told her to remember her father was strong and he’ll come through just fine. I asked her if she wanted to go see him, but she looked around the room before answering. Looking over to Teaghan, she offered her the chance to go sit with Rick until he woke up. Teaghan jumped at the chance and thanked Tori profusely. Once she disappeared down the corridor, Tori lost the smile on her face and spun to face the door.As she stormed out of the waiting room, I grabbed her arm and held her.“Where are you going?” She looked me dead in the eye.“I need answers!” She pulled her arm out of my hold and continued out the door.Tori turned and disappeared from the waiting room. I ran after her to see her marching across the training grounds toward the detention cells.“Tori! Wait!” Ignoring me, she kept
