We both looked at Hazel who had gone pale. “When we were young, our parents died because of a Volana wolf…”
Hazel began to explain, making me gasp in horror. “It was difficult for us both, but Jazzy was much younger and took it even more difficult. She grew angry and self-isolated despite my efforts to get her to open up and talk to me. She spent a lot of time in my mother’s garden. I’m not sure how it happened because I wasn’t there… but I ended up finding our gardener dead. That’s when my sister started to become a dark witch. This darkness she called Zagreus was the one who gave her dark magic. I never understood it myself, but something happened that hurt him enough to slither back to wherever he came from.”
“If Zagreus really has returned to our land, what are we going to do?”
I asked, staring up at Enzo who had a grave look on his face. “You must stay away from her,”
Hazel warned. “She’s incredibly dangerous and now that Zagreus has returned to her, she’s even more dangerous. There’s no telling what she will do. Especially because you are a Volana wolf. She hates Volana’s more than anything. I don’t doubt that it has something to do with your kind.”
“We don’t even know where she is,”
Enzo murmured, clearly aggravated. “If I can feel her magic, she isn’t far,”
Hazel said. “I’ll send my warriors back out and look for her again,”
Enzo assured her. “We also need to figure out how darkness was defeated the first time,”
I said. I shivered at the very thought; I stepped closer to Enzo, not wanting to be apart from him. “I’m not going to let anything happen to you,”
he said, wrapping me in his arms. “That’s a promise.”
Hazel looked uncertain and worried. “We will return tomorrow to help you home,”
Enzo assured her, grasping her hand gently. “Get some rest.”
“I will,”
she said. “I can’t wait to get back to my village and to my own bed. I’m sure Luna Selene is doing a fine job at keeping them protected, but with this new knowledge that darkness has been conjured, I worry for them.”
“I understand,”
Enzo said. He took a hold of my hand. “See you tomorrow,”
I said to her as we left the hospital room. My heart was pounding rapidly against my ribcage; I felt so sick. By the time we got back to his car, I was deep breathing and trying hard to contain myself. “Hey,”
he said, reaching over and taking hold of my hand again. “It’s going to be okay. I promise.”
“If darkness really is lurking around, I’m not sure how we are going to protect the nation from it. What do you think she’s planning on doing?”
“I don’t know, but I’m going to find out.”
“Do you think Xander would know?”
I found myself asking. “You don’t think they’re working together, do you?”
He was quiet for a moment as he thought about that. “I’m not sure,”
he admitted. “Maybe.”
“We should find out.”
“I will find out,”
he said, putting extra emphasis on the word I. “You are going to stay far away from all of this. It’s too dangerous for your involvement.”
“I can’t just do nothing,”
I said, pressing my lips firmly together. Sitting around and doing nothing has never been in my nature. “You can’t get involved in this, Lila. Especially because you don’t have your wolf right now.”
I knew he was right, despite not wanting to believe it. I decided not to argue with him any further; I stared out my window as Enzo drove through the pack ground and toward the packhouse. I stared up at the night sky I frowned; it seemed even darker and hazier than usual. There wasn’t a star in sight, and yet it didn’t seem all that cloudy. I wondered if it had anything to do with Jazzy’s darkness.
….
Enzo’s POV
Xander was exactly where we left him, rotting in the dungeon cell under the packhouse grounds. He wore cuffs that kept his wounds from healing. He had two black eyes and some nasty cuts on his face. He was bruised all over and his clothes were badly torn and covered in his blood. I found myself smiling at his tormented state. Bastien must have had a lot of fun with this asshole. Xander sat against the cold cement walls, trying to maintain his unsteady breathing as he glared up at me though his swollen eyes. “Haven’t you had enough?”
I asked stepping toward his locked cell and staring down at his pathetic body. “I could end your suffering if you just tell us the information we seek.”
I swear I saw a smile glimmering on his lips. “And what information is that, Alpha?”
“Cut the shit, Xander,”
I seethed, grabbing onto the cell bars. “Who sent you here?”
He choked out a laugh, spitting blood onto the ground. “I gave an oath I wouldn’t say, and I don’t break my oaths,”
he replied. “Are you working with that dark witch, Jazzy?”
I asked in a growl. “Did you help her escape?”
“And align myself with darkness? I think not,”
Xander scoffed. “Why are you after Lila then?”
I asked, my anger boiling over. “Who said I was after her?”
He asked as he coughed more blood onto the ground. “You kidnapped her, you asshole!”
“And yet she couldn’t escape on her own without you helping her,”
Xander hissed. “She’s doomed for what’s coming.”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
I found myself asking.
“Let me out, Enzo,”Max whined within me.“I want to rip his throat out and tear into him. Let me out so I can fuck him up!”
“You better talk soon, or I’ll let my wolf have you,”
I warned. Xander only laughed which turned into a gross hack. “You’ll find out soon enough and when you do, you’ll wish you never locked me in this cage. Mark my word, Darkness is coming and he’s coming with a vengeance.”
Lila’s POV
I curled up in bed, keeping my head down, and tried to keep the fear I felt from consuming me. If Jazzy really did conjure darkness and was responsible for everyone becoming powerless, that meant we were in so much danger. It was still unclear as to what she wanted though and how she escaped without anyone noticing. Enzo was questioning Xander and trying to get that information. They had to have been working together. It was because of Xander that Val has been in hibernation; it was the wolfbane he poisoned me with that caused her to fall asleep for as long as she has. Xander was the reason for a lot of the things that have happened to me and I don’t understand why. What had I done to make him do these things to me? I felt tears stinging the back of my eyes. Was I the reason everyone at the school became powerless? Was I main the target of that attack? I bit onto my bottom lip to keep from sobbing at the very thought. My heart was aching knowing that I could be the cause for all of this. I buried my face in my lap and let out a small sob, just as the bedroom door swung open. Enzo stood before me with a worried frown. He didn’t say anything, he just stared at me for a moment, and I stared back through my tear-filled eyes. He sighed and walked into the room, shutting the door behind him as he came closer to me. He sat beside me and wrapped his arms around my shivering body. “I’m sorry our date night got messed up,”
he murmured against me as he kissed the top of my head. “It wasn’t my intention.”
I couldn’t help but chuckle through my tears. “I think we have bigger things to worry about,”
I said, peering up at him. He bent down and kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes, leaning into his touch and loving the feeling of his lips against me. “You are my main concern,”
he whispered. “I will not worry about things like this. You deserved a lot more today.”
“Our date was perfect; even if it was cut short,”
I told him fondly. “We were supposed to go to the beach and watch the stars together,”
he said, and even though I wasn’t looking at him, I knew he was pouting adorably. I laughed as I buried my face in his chest. “It’s cold out,”
I reminded him. “We weren’t going swimming,”
he said, and I heard the huskiness in his tone, making my cheeks grow warm. I peered up at him through my wet lashes and I couldn’t help the small smile that appeared on my lips. “We were only going to watch the stars?”
I asked, hearing the huskiness in my own tone. Val would have been proud that I was flirting with our mate; goddess, I missed her so much. I saw the desires twinkling in his eyes. “Amongst other things,”
he said with a smirk. He leaned closer to me and brushed his lips against mine. With all that has happened today, I almost forgot how amazing he tasted. He was sweet and made my lips tingle with joy and love. He reached his up to the nape of my neck and caressed it gently, leaving electric chills to course through my body. I breathed in his every scent as he cupped the back of my head with his strong hands, keeping me in place. He soon broke the kiss from my lips and trailed them down the side of my face and down my neck until he reached the sweet spot that he claimed and marked as his own. I giggled as he nibbled and sucked on his mark. My heart was pounding so quickly against my chest that I thought it was going to escape from my body. With everything that’s been going on lately, I needed this more than anything. The one and only thing that could make me forget about all the stress and fears that have consumed me was the love of my mate. His hands went down the sides of my body until he reached the bottom of my sundress. I had already taken off the cardigan I wore when I climbed into bed, but I still wore the sundress. At least I did up until a second ago when I felt him lifting it over my body. Once it reached the upper half of my body, I helped him by shimmying myself out of the dress. I wasn’t wearing a bra because Rachel had always told me that wearing a bra with my dresses was tacky and that I needed to let the girls breathe once in a while. At that moment, I was glad for her advice because it made things a lot easier. At first, Enzo took me in with his eyes; I saw the lust and love lingering in his gaze as he looked me over. I only wore the silky white panties that I had brought during one of my shopping sprees with Brianna; it had a little pink bow on the front of it that Enzo seemed drawn to. I couldn’t help the laugh that escaped my mouth as he played with the bow with his fingers just before sliding the panties down the length of my legs until they reached my ankles. He didn’t take them fully off though, and I didn’t kick them off. Instead, he lifted my legs and placed himself in the middle of them, so that each leg rested on his shoulders and the panties acted as a cuff that kept them in place. It had gotten to a point in our relationship that I stopped feeling self-conscious about having Enzo look at my naked body, but now I only wiggled with anticipation as he hovered over me, taking me in. “You smell so good,”
he said in a whisper. He leaned closer to me and I closed my eyes, feeling his tongue teasing my clit. I gasped at the incredible sensation of his soft and warm tongue, pleasing and tasting every ounce of me. My body was flaring with heat, and I felt my juices running down my legs as he licked every ounce of me. I moaned deeply, digging my nails into the bed sheets. I arched my back and pressed my head further into the pillow that lay beneath me. “Oh, Enzo…”
I whimpered. I wanted him; I wanted so much more of him. I wanted to feel him inside of me. But he continued to tease me with his tongue and taste me. A low moan escaped from the back of his throat and when I looked into his gorgeous eyes, I saw them glowing as his wolf fought to take control. My only thought at the moment was, “Val would have loved this.”
I felt a bit sad knowing that she wasn’t with me right now and that she was missing out on something incredible, but the thought soon vanished when he began to run his kisses up my torso until he reached my breasts. He tugged on my nipples with his teeth sending a wave of warmth through my body. Goosebumps formed on my flesh, and I moaned in pleasure, running my fingers through his thick and soft hair, massaging his scalp. “Enzo…”
I whimpered. “Please….”
My body was in agony, wanting even more of him. I saw a smile tugging at his lips as he met my eyes. I saw his wolf, pushing through and fighting even more fiercely to take control. I almost wanted him to take control. I wanted him to have his way with my body and claim me as his own over and over again. He removed himself from between my legs, taking my panties with him and leaving me gasping and wanting more. I watched eagerly as he removed his clothes and then climbed back on top of me. I ran my fingers down his incredible washboard body, feeling every ab and muscle that occupied his body. I ran my fingers down his happy trail, and he closed his eyes, leaning into my touch and breathing against me as our lips met. He conquered my mouth, biting my bottom lip fiercely and bringing it into his mouth, and sucking on it like it was candy. I felt his manhood pressing against my core, begging for entrance which I gladly granted him. I gasped as he pressed himself into me. I threw my head back and whimpered in delight as he deepened himself into me. He kissed every ounce of my body, nibbling and licking, sending warmth and electric chills to course my body and make the hairs on my arms stand tall. His every touch and kiss was perfection. He thrust his hips against me and I moved in the same rhythm, wrapping my legs around him as he ravished my body and claimed me as his own. A simple yet effective position. I felt a climax creeping around the corner, intensifying the sensation my body felt. I released my hold on his body and dug my nails into the bed as I squeezed my eyes shut. My orgasm came quickly, allowing me to come undone around him. After a couple more thrusts, he removed himself and released his incredible seed onto my stomach, gasping for breath and dripping in sweat. He collapsed onto the bed beside me, and we both fought to catch our breaths. After a few moments, he pulled me into his arms, and I buried my face in the side of his warm body. “I love you,”
he whispered against me, kissing the top of my head gently. Just as I was about to respond to him, a voice roamed into my head, making me sit up abruptly.
“Goddess, that was amazing.”
Lila’s POV
“Val!!”I said eagerly to my wolf.“When did you wake up?”
“I woke up nicely while we were…”
