Nikita’s POVThe darkness of the night has lifted, driven away by the rays of sunlight that stream though the sky, painting it with pinks and purples. We have driven for hours now and I have never been so far away from home. My wolf whines, she wants to go back home to our pack. I try and sooth her with promises that we will be ok. We have been taking it in turns to drive and now Celeste grips the wheel tightly and struggles with the stick, making the engine cry our when she doesn’t shift gear properly. I smile at her and put my hand on her thigh. Her hand immediately follows and she gives mine a reassuring squeeze. My head rests comfortably on the headrest and I slip into a comfortable sleep while being rocked gently by the bumps of the road. ‘Nikita. Nikki, baby. Stay here and stay hidden. I’ll be back soon.’ I jerk awake and Celeste’s worried face comes into focus slowly as my mind tries to catch up with what is going on. ‘What’s wrong?’ I ask her, unable to keep th
Celeste’s POVAnother sharp, hard jab to my rib sends a shot of pain through my chest and takes my breath away. My arms ache from being held so firmly above my head by solid metal chains attached to a thick metal hoop in the ceiling. I try to move to lessen the impact of the blows that are raining down on me but the is nowhere for me to go. Each blow sends a booming thud or crack around the bare concrete room. ‘We will only ask one more time Celeste. Where is your dirty little mate and what did you tell them?’ Tears pour from my eyes and drip from the end of my nose. I dare not look up into her cold eyes again, as the smack to the face that followed last time was awful and bust my lip open. ‘I told you High Priestess, I have no mate. That was a foolish mistake in the heat of passion.’ I cry out but my words seem to fall on deaf, ignorant ears. I feel her turn away from me, the glare of her eyes no longer fixed on the crown of my head. ‘Take her to the cells. Maybe a co
Keeva’s POV‘Nikita, are you ok?’ Unease has settled inside me. I haven’t heard from her since the early hours of the morning and even Selina is becoming concerned. I know my mindlink reaches further than standard pack member as I was able to call to Nikita from the Vampire’s lair. Channon snores quietly in his sleep and his breath wafts the hair near my ears and it tickles me. His big, muscley arm is draped across my body and it grows heavy on me now. Slowly I lift his arm up enough to slip from it’s confines and take a deep breath in at last. I take a moment to gaze, unwatched, upon the face of my fated mate. He has changed so much from the young boy who is a faded, hazy memory. I never knew the truth of what happened the night him and Caeli disappeared. The floor is soft beneath my feet as I quietly leave the bed, but the pain that spasms through my body from my crotch almost makes my legs give way under me. He wasn’t a rough lover but his sheer size was enough to h
Channon’s POVThe hot water runs over her soft, peach skin and turns pink on the bright white floor, tainted from the blood between her legs. Guilt washes over me at the sight. I was as gentle as I could be with her, my wolf constantly yaps at me to go harder or to take her again. He wants us to shift so we can go for a run in the forest and bond together in our primal state. My intentions had been to wash her body myself but I know the if I let my hands move freely over her body again then she will have no choice but to bounce on my dick under the hot water until I release my seed into her again. The thought sends a smile to my face which she notices instantly. ‘I think not Mr Lover Lover.’ Her tone is light and playful as she waggles her finger in my face. ‘I want to eat and shift, then we can talk about that.’ Her eyes drop to my growing cock ‘later.’ Her eyes glint with mischief as she steps quickly from the shower and leaves me to finish washing alone. With her go
Celeste’s POVThe skin bound book feels bumpy and rough in my hands as I free it from the secret compartment of my largest suitcase. Many charms and protective spells have hidden the secrets within from the vigorous searches made of my belonging while I was gone. All my other crystals have been seized along with the non-approved spell books. The High Council have made it their mission to see that every day witches do not have access to powers that could cause their undoing. I have made it my mission to seek out this knowledge in the hopes that one day I will make their world crash and burn around them. One of my most beloved possession is a picture of me with both my parents. Our smiles are bright and genuine in this one, years before the uprisings began and my whole world was destroyed. A big fat tear splashes onto the picture as the ones that have welled in my eyes become too much and spill out and down my cheeks. I miss them every day single day. I place the old, ye
Celeste’s POV ‘Jake, we need to go. Please!’ I rip at him with all my strength and manage to pull his dazed body from the floor. Smoke still lingers in the air and the scent of burned wood stings at the back of my throat. The two rabid looking werewolves approach at tremendous speed, there vicious snarls get louder by the second. Jake’s shouts in fear when he finally lays eyes upon the beasts. Their eyes crimson red and foamy white drool escapes their jaws. The man who came screaming down the corridor reaches us and flings Jake’s arm around his shoulder. ‘I hope you are worth this.’ He hisses at me and takes off down the hallway practically dragging Jake along with him. There is only one thing I can do to give the others the time they need to escape. I’m going to have to face these two demons alone. The two of the mini bombs are hard and cold in my hand as I extract them from my pocket and thrown them one after the other at the wolves. One makes direct impact to the l
Nikita’s POVShe is alive! Thanks the Goddess my mate and love is alive. The huge explosion that sounded earlier with only minutes between them sounded far off at first, but the last and definitely the loudest one seems to come from only a street over. Thick black smoke trails into the night sky and the smell of burning wood is heavy in the frigid air. My head buzzes from all the possible explanations and scenarios that play over and over again in my minds eye. When her voice rings into my chaotic mind I almost break down in tears of pure happiness. She cuts me off abruptly and proceeds to tell me to be ready, werewolves are chasing them and we must be ready to leave, now. Shock and worry fills my body and grips me with terror. Three men turn the corner and I feel them scan the street looking for me. These must be the wizards who have helped Celeste escape, but where is she? My fingers fumble over the keys as I start the engine which roars to life with a thunderous gro
Channon’s POVEach stride with her at my side is like I’m running through the air, I hardly feel the hard, uneven ground beneath my huge paws. Her glorious silver fur catches the later afternoon sun’s rays and she almost shines, like a fallen angel sent to scurry across this forsaken earth with me. My wolf is in his absolute element now he has the opportunity to bond with his fated mate. We get as close to her as possible and her scent makes his ravenous hunger increase, the lust for her touch is almost unbearable. We fight the urge to tackle her over to the ground and mate with her. Even with the number of pack members with us, we would still take her here and now in front of them all. My own desires increase from the potency of his sexual frustrations and I realise that I’m clenching my teeth in my head from the pressure that fills my cock and balls. As soon as we have checked on her dim witted, but brave friend, I will have her again. The air is fresh and sweet as
