ROMEO
I hiss at him as he enters the room. He doesn’t say anything this time as he hits a button on that little controller of his and my body seizes. When he finally turns it off, I can barely move or fight as two large werewolves enter and each grabs an arm, undoes the cuffs at my wrists, and then drags me out of the room and down the hall.
I may not be able to fight them, but I was still very aware of what was happening around me. The new room they dragged me into has even less than the room they took me out of. They drag me over to the wall and then secure more cuffs to my wrists before letting me go. I manage to stand on my feet. I smile a little as I notice that the cuffs in here aren’t as good as the ones they originally had on me.
I then let out a shocked breath of air as one of the werewolves turned around and punched me in the jaw, the chest and the abdomen. I slump my wrists, taking all my weight as he chuckles and then walks away.
ROMEOThis continues for I don’t know how long I wake chained and hanging from the ceiling facing Skylar, who is in the same position. Kolby then enters either on his own or with others. They then either torture me, making Skylar beg for them to leave me alone or they beat and torture her, making me lose even more of myself to the wildness inside me.As soon as I had lost myself to that wildness, I used the added strength and heightened senses to break the chains and protect Skylar. I kill nearly everyone in the room each time before Kolby pulls out his little black controller and makes me pass out.The next time I woke, I opened my eyes to the expected sight of Skylar hanging in front of me. However, this time I don’t struggle so as not to give away that I am awake and just watch as Kolby enters. He glances at me and then walks straight over to where Skylar is hanging, not bothering to pay me any more attention.A low threatening hiss wants to escape my throat as I watch him run his
ROMEO I woke up on a medal table with a female leaning over me with a scalpel in one hand and her other hand buried deep within my chest. I was surprised when the chains holding me down were easy to break allowing me to move quickly I grabbed her hand and removed it from my chest, turning her around so that I could pull her back tight up against my front and allow me to sink my fangs into her neck. I continue to drink slowly as I lift my eyes and watch the door. I smile as we are soon joined by Malcolm and what seems to be his team of werewolves. However, my smile doesn’t last long as he then presses a button on the small black controller in his hand. I hiss a little against her skin as I feel a slight stinging sensation on my neck. I swipe my tongue over my bite as I lift my head and look at Malcolm. He then says, “Release her.” I smirk at him as I stick out my tongue, lean a little closer to her again and slide my tongue over her s
JULIANThe drive back to the territory and the castle was a quiet one. Just before we get to the border, I pull into a gas station. Savannah smiles at me and gets out, heading in what seemed to be the direction of the toilets. Before I get out, I turn inward to Conner.“Hey, Bud. You doing okay?” “Yeah, I’m okay.” “Are you sure? I would have thought you would have gone crazy and forced control to find her?” “I can feel she is alive… Our mark on her allows us at least that. Besides, having Savannah close seems to be helping.” “How? Why?” “Not sure. However, it could have something to do with the fact that she is a witch or it could have more to do with the fact that she is our sister now as she and Riley completed the mating and marking.” This may be something to talk to Uncle Dominic about, or even Savannah’s Grandmother. With a little more insight as to why the trip wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be, I get out and walk around the SUV to fill the tank. I know I didn’t real
JULIAN As I look at down Drago, I think he paled just a little more and then took off running. I then face Savannah and say, “So, you want to learn to fight?” “Yes.” “I will warn you now, I will not go easy on you just because you are a female or that you are my brother's mate. If you are serious about this, then you will need to put in 150%. I do not put up with whiners and if you are going to quit, then don’t waste my time.” “I don’t want you to go easy on me and I don’t expect you to treat me any differently to those that you would normally train. I am a witch, so I am not one to whine and I don’t quit…” She then walks closer and places her hand on my shoulder as she says, “This is even more important than when I am learning my magick because if I want to save my love, then I have no choice.” I smile and lead her onto the training field. I start with the basics and then, as she improves, I will increase the training.
SAVANNAH Conner doesn’t waste any time. He steps back from behind me before stepping back up behind me and wrapping his arms around me, pinning my arms to my chest. He then whispers right next to my ear. “Escape…” I know very limited self-defence, but I do know this one. I lift my foot and stomp my heel down onto his foot using the surprise of this to move my arms within his to allow me to throw my elbow back and into his chest, I then turn in his arms that are still wrapped securely around my chest and then once I am facing him I bring up my knee as quickly and as hard as I could connecting with her privates. This makes him loosen his hold enough for me to pull out of his arms and take a few steps back away from him. He smiles and straightens as he says, “Good. Now I know what I have to work with.” I smile as his red eyes seem to dim, and his normal eyes come back into focus. He then runs through some quick warm-ups and then we get back into the start of the basics. By the time
SAVANNAHI quickly grab the other backpack, swing it over my shoulder, and then follow him out the door. We walk across the clearing between the castle and the forest as soon as we enter the treeline, Phoenix takes off running. I follow, keeping pace with him, however; I know that he isn’t running at his full potential, as I wouldn’t be able to keep up with him if he did.We run for what feels like a couple of hours before we stop at the first clearing. Phoenix then drops his backpack and then turns on me. I quickly dodge his attack, drop my pack and then, with his next attack, I defend and attack back. We go back and forth, back and forth with him, putting me on my arse more than I was on my feet. After putting me on my back once more, Phoenix steps next to me and holds out his hand.I reach up and take his hand, allowing him to pull me back to my feet. As soon as I am back on my feet, he walks over to where he dropped his backpack and then takes of
SAVANNAH I groan as I reach my hand up to my head. I slowly open my eyes, and the first thing I see is that the sky is dark and littered with stars. I then see Phoenix’s face slide into my field of vision as he says, “Welcome back.” He then helps me to sit up before he continues, “Are you okay?” “That hurt and my head is still pounding, but I am okay.” He looks at me with concern and says as he gets back to his feet. “If being connected to Romeo is going to continue to affect you like this, then there is no point in being out here. I can’t teach you anything if you are consumed by pain or passed out on the forest floor.” He then walks over to his backpack and picks it up. I quickly get to my feet and run over and catch up to him as he heads back towards the trees. I grab his arm, pulling him to a stop as I practically beg. “Please, Sir Phoenix. I need to do this. I need to be able to save him…” He pulls his arm out of my hand and continues on his way. I look up at the sky an
SAVANNAH>Memory cont<Knowing that I am not going to get anything else from her, I then make my way outside. I took a deep breath and then start my rounds of the market. They all wish me a magical 13th birthday as I help them set up before returning to my Grandmother and helping her set up our little trinket stall.The rest of the afternoon and the following days are all uneventful, however on the evening before the market was planning to move on, a stranger entered the market. I watched him move around the market as his aura of magick was strange. I could tell that he was a warlock, but he was more and I seemed to be drawn to him.I smiled as he approached our little stall and I was surprised that the attraction and pull to him got even stronger. He picked up a small crystal and held it up to the sinking evening sun, turning it this way and that before looking at me. He smiled, and I was sure that if someone had touched me at that moment, I would
