My body shook with tears. Relieved to see he was unharmed. "I'm fine, baby," he repeated hoarsely. "Why did you do that?! The water is freezing, you could have died!" I screamed at him after I had calmed down a little, sounding a tad hysterical. He kissed me. Holding my skull he devoured me. When he stopped, I blinked a tad disoriented. He grinned. My heart fluttered with love for him. "I'm fine," he repeated. I nodded, not quite sure of what to say after that. When I directed my eyes to the guardian, I saw he was watching us. His eyes were a twirl of emotions I could not define. Dane made me put my feet on the ground, planted a kiss on my forehead and drew back to walk to him. "He is going to die," the guardian said, sounding vexed. "Sorry," Dane said disinterestedly. A moment after, the dragon started to disintegrate into a bust of golden dust, floating up to the sky. "There goes my ride…" the guardian said. "I could offer to help if I trust you, but I don't, I already
Striding through the sea of dismembered and burnt bodies, I noticed Anton and Jared bringing one forward. He was bathed in his own blood from a wound in his gut. They threw him forward, causing him to fall face down on the now bloodied ground. "Can you stand?" I asked. "I… yes, alpha," he said and struggled to sit up on his heels, holding a hand to his side. He breathed loudly. "Where is Vrionis?" "B - back in Westlands…" he replied with an effort. "Good. We will help you home," I said and looked in Saraya's direction. She walked up to join me and I said, "can you please portal him back to the Westlands?" She nodded and turned to the west of the grounds. Holding her right hand in that direction, she murmured and the portal opened up. The ray of daylight shone through, illuminating the grounds. "Go on in. Go home," I urged. The Were looked at us one after the other as if he couldn't quite believe we were letting him go. "Am I supposed to take a message?" he asked. "You are
I needed to feel him. To hold him tightly to my skin and have him inside me – and just be one with him. My heart thudded faster than normal as he continued to suckle on my nipples. Painful pleasure surged through my bloodstream and straight to my brain. I pushed my chest out more to give him better access while framing his face to show him what I wanted, making him take each nipple at intervals. I was dripping wet and my pussy ached to have him fill me up. My head continually played flashes of the time he sank into that hole. My heart rate increased. My ears pounded. The very thought that it could have ended up being his watery grave made me whimper with anguish at the sheer thought of losing him in that way. Rising from the bed, I climbed atop him, hurriedly reaching for his cock, I made him push into me. I was so wet it appeared he fit into me in one stroke. I groaned – a mixture of pleasure and pain kindled by the images in my head. Throwing my head back, my hair spilt down my
It was calm – too calm, it bothered me. I knew exactly what it meant; the ominousness of the wait was so thick, I could smell it in the air. I had felt it uncountable times before – for decades now, and I knew whatever was coming was not going to be to my liking. It had been more than a day already and Vrionis had not made any move. It was either we have succeeded in scaring him off or he was planning something big. I hate waiting. I like to strategies and make my moves. The Northlands was duly fortified by both magic and tactical defences but I wasn’t cocky enough to think we are impenetrable. They tried to get to my little ones and enslaved a bloody guardian. Blackbeard wasn’t able to give the accurate number of the invaders for some reason and I still haven’t figured out what that ballon was for. I have so many questions and I didn’t;ike that I don’t have answers. I haven’t forgotten he has the Eastlanders as allies and the Eastlands made Saraya. Who knew if they have another
Ten days after Vrionis’ attack, I decided to somewhat resume our regular schedule and go hurting with my little ones. “Hunting?! Are you serious? They are barely four years old!” Saraya exclaimed with a widened gaze. “How do you think they learn how to defend themselves?” I asked, giving her a teasing stare. She frowned, swallowed and her indignation turned into concern with a tinge of terror. “It is a form of training then?” she asked gingerly. “Uh-huh,” I replied, lifting Tabitha from my feet. Saraya promptly carried Keanu. “What do they hunt?” she asked. I could feel her fear and it almost made me laugh. If only she knew. “There is a part of central Northlands somewhere in the woods where we often have an infestation of creatures that are so far gone that they can not be saved. They used to trickle into town to kidnap females and children to feed on, rape, torture—” “I get the picture!” she exclaimed, interrupting me, shaking her body visibly with contorted features of
Even though Dane had warned me and painted the vivid horror of what to expect, I was still shocked at the graphic scene of it. Humans were kept in a cage as if they were livestock and the werewolves were scattered about a bonfire, eating humans alive, having quite a feast. There were children and women in the enclosure, even old and young men. I fought hard to keep the food in my belly down It was the most horrific thing I have seen in my entire life – at least what I could remember. And for a moment, I was glad of the oblivion certain whatever I may have witnessed on these grounds before most have haunted my dreams afterwards. Dane and the rest seemed to have a way they dealt with this and I didn't want to interfere with their formation but the agonising cry coming from the left end of the grounds called to me. Dane brought out an enormous sword and charged forward slaying and clearing his way to the cage until he stood in the space between the cage and the rest of the bea
Females in torn, bloodied clothes started to mill out of the woods. They were disturbingly many. My eyes settled on the one on the ground. She lay there naked and unmoving with a torn neck. Her eyes stared blindly in death. Thelma caught my gaze and lifted Keanu. She carried him away from the gruesome scene and I set the dead bodies on fire with Jared standing solidly behind me. "Gather here– all of you–and listen to me … " Dane's authoritative voice rented the air and I walked back to join him with Jared by my side and the freed women, tailing us. The sounds of their whimpering tore me up inside. "I am Alpha Dane. The leader of Northlands. I have the pack's Betas here, a few of our gammas, and my pups. In addition to that, the pack's healers are here, led by my mate, your lunar. If you are wounded and need attention once we are done here they will attend to you," Dane continued. Murmurs of relief and thanksgiving resounded in the shrouded grounds. I didn't know I was the pack's
I can't say I was surprised to find a guardian on my tail that bloody Anastasios Martas. I should have left him with those fuckers to rot but I knew I could not stomach the thought of those little shits thinking they could threaten me with a fucking guardian or perhaps I just couldn't stand the audacity of them ensnaring a son of Zeus. I refused to think it was compassion. The very thought made me shake visibly just to disperse the fucking notion. I suppose since I didn't dispose of this one, they figured they could approach me with some carrot sticks. Oh, I knew that was what it would amount to. Fury welled in me. I wonder at the 'carrot' they figure they could dangle this time. I felt unsettled to my very core when my eyes settled on Saraya, managing the wounded as best as she could. My heart constricted. Deep inside me I already know the answer to that. And it gnawed at me that the offer they might have may be too good to pass off. I grounded my teeth in annoyance, hating the
