"Elder Chuck then makes his way back along the line of females being held by the males, He looks at the marks the males had placed on them the night before, some are already healing but there is always one that stays which is their slave mark. The very first mark that they put on them as they enter their bodies. Elder Chuck nods his head in approval as he finds the slave mark on each female that is left. He then moves back over to his seat as Elder Jay stands and says, 'These females belong to you, for now... You are to train them in sex and obedience. They are to know that you are always in charge and no matter what you say, they are to follow it and if they disobey, they will and are to be punished. They are to do all their normal work in the kitchen, the laundry, the packhouse or out in the fields and then when they go into their heat you are to lock them in your rooms and make them pleasure you until their heat is complete and they are with pup adding to our village.'

When I hear his voice in my head this time, it is different. It's a lot deeper and demands that one listens to it. "I am sorry, Yasmine..." "Who?? Why?""Did I hurt you?" "No, you sat right on the border of hurting me. You scared me more!" "Again I am sorry... Normally I can handle the full moon a lot better, but touching you, and loving you made me lose control a lot sooner than I should have... I am Morpheus... I am Zachariah's Lycan!" He then slowly steps back allowing my legs to slip from his hips and my feet back to the floor, he, however, growls low as the skirt of the dress gets caught on his hands and he gets a glimpse of the finger marks I have no doubt are on the skin of my hips. He then puts his hand on my cheek and whispers, "Yasmine, you said I didn't hurt you..." "It's okay..." "No! Yasmine, it isn't... How are you going to fully trust us if we hurt you?"I don't get to answer him as a wave of pain flows through me and I scream. Morpheus pulls me close once more

"As I said, you are going to make one hell of a Luna and I am proud to have you by my side..." I turn my attention back to the 2 in front of me, I then whisper,"Now, I know you are scared Jess, but I want you both to open your eyes when I tell you to..."Jess nods slightly as I then continue what I was saying, only I continue over my link with Raphael."Raph, when she opens them keep her eyes locked with yours along with your hand on her cheek, if you move slowly not breaking any contact you should be able to kiss her... But Raph, when it comes to marking her allow her to mark you first, it will give her the feeling that she is the one in control which is what she needs..."Raphael gives me a mental nod. I smile as I carefully move over and then stand. I then whisper,"Okay! Jess, Raph, open your eyes..."I step back and into Zachariah's arms, which he wraps around me, pulling me tight up against his chest as I watch both Jess and Raphael follow my instructions, opening their eyes.

I fight the heaviness in my head. As I hear loud voices not far from me, I fight and open my eyes to see 2 dark figures just outside the doorway."You said I could keep her...""That was before she became one of them...""So, what! Conrad, she is still mine...""No! I have other plans for her now... I have a meeting set up in a couple of days...""A meeting? A meeting for what? You taught me that we needed to kill them and kill them all... Why did you take these ones? Why not kill them? Why let me take her and then not let me keep her?""I said you could keep her, but that was before I found out that she is no longer human... Besides, I have something else planned for them... And it has been much more profitable than just killing them... Not every kill has a bounty or reward attached to it, so I needed another way to make some money to pay for all my expenses. Nothing is free."I move slightly and can't stop the low groan that leaves my lips, one of the figures stops pacing and looks

I then hear a whole heap of footsteps leaving and getting further and further away. I then hear one more set of footsteps, but this set is heading for me. I struggle against the cuffs that are still on my wrists as the footsteps stop in front of me. I jump as he grabs whatever is over my eyes and pulls it off as he says, "It is good to see you awake, sweetheart. Alpha will be pleased to hear that you have finally rejoined us. I guess that last lot of sedative I gave you was a little strong. It knocked you out for three days." I blink my eyes fast, trying to bring everything around me into focus as I say,"W... Wh... Why am I here?" "I would have thought that was obvious... The Alpha has taken a shine to you and not just because you are Zachariah's mate or are now carrying his pup... But the fact that you wouldn't break and tell him what he wanted to know no matter what he did to you in that cell... I have a feeling that he might want to change the claim Zachariah has on you to his
