“My Luna, I’m so glad you’ve come to your senses. I can’t wait until I can rid you of those foul scars on your neck.”
He lets out a sound that is a cross between a growl and a purr. Gross.
His dark brown hair is long and greasy from being left in the cell and the purple hue has taken over his hazel eyes. I do notice the purple isn’t fire like mine. It’s more like someone stuck a glow stick on him to create a silhouette. I don’t try to stop him and I don’t let the rest of my family go. This is my fight. Jena got her time to reciprocate his treatment of us, now it’s my turn. I can hear everyone behind me yelling at me and I know I am going to be in so much trouble with Cam, Dakota and Oliver, but I want my shot at this asshole.
Mike’s eyes are blazing and I can see his lips moving, but no more words are coming out. I wonder if he is doing some kind of spell or if he’s talking to himself, or more likely, his mom.
I try to reason with my mates while Mike seems to be distracted or debating or whatever.
***I know you don’t want me here alone, but give me a chance to neutralize him. It’s too distracting to hold you all off and focus on his movements. Please stop fighting me and I will take my hold off of you. Make it look like I am holding you back, looking pissed should be easy enough for you three to pull off right now.***
***No! Let us go Love so we can stand next to you.***
***Absolutely not! They will kill you to make it easier for him to mark me. I need you to stay back, it’s the best way to protect me right now.***
***She’s right, and you know it. They don’t care about the three of us and we are in the way. The fastest way to remove our marks is to kill us. We don’t know how good of fighters he is or whoever controlling him is. It’s too many unknowns and Bitty will get caught in the crossfire. I won’t let you risk her.***
***Thank you Oliver. Tell everyone else while I try to keep his attention. I’m going to attempt to take this hold off of you. Stay put.***
***What do you mean ‘try?’ You put it on us, just remove it, Smalls. ***
***It’s a little different when I do magic unconsciously. If I don’t know how I did it, I don’t really know how to stop it. I love you guys.***
***Nope! None of that. You can tell us you love us when we are punishing you for trapping us, Love.***
I had to fight a smile and wonder what he meant by punishing’ and why the idea excites me.
“Come to me, my Luna. Leave these lowly Alpha losers behind.
“You keep calling me a Luna, but I’m not a Luna. I mean there’s nothing wrong with being a Luna, but that isn’t my rank or my job. Why is that so hard for you to understand?” I want all of his focus.
“You will be my Luna. You will stand next to me while I rule the werewolf kingdom. You will bear my children and be the comfort our pack members need. My soft and delicate Luina.
I couldn’t help it, I broke out into cackles of laughter. I didn’t even try to keep my amusement at his stupidity in. Tears are streaming from my eyes with laughter. He just looks confused, but he has stopped moving towards me.
“You must not have ever paid attention to me fighting. Soft and delicate are not words anyone who trains with me would use. I really am not the comforting type either. You picked the wrong girl.”
I keep laughing and I can see his smile falter a little, just for a second. “You keep talking like you would be doing me a favor, but really, I’m already more highly ranked than you. It would be a step down to be mated to you.
“Well you will just have to be trained then. And if you are extra stubborn, I will have more fun breaking you.”
He ignores my comment about being a higher rank, then lunges at me and it’s almost like he’s moving in slow motion.
My wolf and I crouch, ready to spring at just the right moment. This reminds me a little of the elite trials years ago. My head goes straight in the zone, this is nothing but a training exercise.
His movements are clumsy but better than what I expected. He aims to grab at my throat or my upper torso, I’m not really sure, but I grab one wrist and use his momentum to propel him down. His free arm grabs into my ponytail though and starts to pull me with him. We both roll to the far side of the rectangular room and I end up sandwiched between him and the wall, the air knocked out of my lungs.
It hurt for a minute, but I guess all the body slams I got from Wyatt paid off since I was able to recover pretty quickly and I kicked at his back to get him off of me. His hand is still tangled in my hair, but I don’t think it’s on purpose, he’s just an idiot. I grab at his wrist again and wrench it, pulling my snarled locks out of his fingers and hoping I dislocated something at the very least. I can’t hear much over the sound of my own pulse running through my body.
He turns to me and I take an elbow to the ribs. I grunt and hit the back of his head with the heel of my hand as hard as possible and then scramble to get up.
“I will never be with you. I will never mate with you. Your mother and your father will die for their crimes against wolves and witches and whoever else they caused harm by trying to take over.
He is crawling, trying to reach for my legs. I kick out and stomp on one of his hands. I’m not quick enough this time and he grabs my ankle with his other hand and knocks me back on my ass before pulling me towards him.
“I will have you. I don’t give a sht what anyone else wants.”
He pulls up to his knees and moves like he is going to sit on me. “You will be my mate and I will fck you every way possible, including shackled to the floor, and I will start by taking you right here in front of them, while they are stuck on the other side of your barrier. I appreciated that by the way, it made it so much easier to contain you.
My wolf snarls in my head and I feel the tension from the hold I had on everyone snap as she surfaces in my mind. I jerk out of his hold and back to standing, he does the same. I have no idea how we put up the barrier or how we took it down, but I appreciate the timing all the same. I know my eyes are glowing by the look on Mike’s face. He isn’t scared yet. My guys all reach me, but none of them grab me. They are showing Mike that I am an equal. My wolf and I surge all of our power, getting ready to strike.
Mike has started to vibrate and the purple glow has gotten brighter. I have no idea what is happening, but I don’t think Mike does either.
“Adrielle, stop! He’s your son. You cannot want power this much!”
Mike’s head tilts to the side, and then straightens. “You don’t know what we want, he was brought into this world for this exact purpose, and nothing more. You will give me what I desire, and then the king can have you for your powers.”
