I hear a huff behind me, but Mike doesn’t react so he either doesn’t hear it or is so full of himself he’s not going to give it his time. He thinks he’s in control, but he’s the one locked in the cage.
I take in an audible breath and roll my eyes, letting him know I am not impressed and he needs to get to his point. He clearly chose to light up in purple flames now to get our attention, he has is and will try to milk this a bask in it for as long as possible.
He stands slowly, his shackles tugging on his arms since he is so much taller than me and they have him in my shackles. His eyes are closed like he is in thought while he does this. WHen he is fully upright his eyes open, looking straight at me and they are blazing the same color purple as the rest of his body. He opens his mouth but when he talks the voice that comes out is definitely not his voice.
“You are destined to be the queen and you will bring about the most powerful offspring for the mate that takes you. You will mate with
Micheal and unite with our family to supply the right DNA. We are coming for you. There is no stopping it, your pack will be decimated and we will enslave anyone that is left.”
He takes a deep breath in and smiles a wicked, cruel smile. “I can sense that she is still unmated, which is perfect. Even deep down she knows that the Moon Goddess was wrong in her choice for mates. She is holding onto her innocence for us.”
Mike tilts his head to the side, seeming to look behind me. “She is not tainted by your low, basic Alpha blood.”
There are growls surrounding me, but no one advances. They can’t, they are frozen in place by my wolf and I. No one knows the rage building inside me. It is a flowing current of lava and I’m sure smoke is probably steaming out of my nose and ears. They just threatened my mates, my pack and my bond. No one will take them from me. My muscles are quivering as I try to hold my wolf back, I won’t let her shift… yet. We don’t know what
Adrielle can do and she is clearly possessing Mike right now.
“Skylar.”
Cam growls behind me.
***”You are not taking this douchebag on your own. Do you understand? We are not trying to stop you, but we are not going to let you do this alone.”*** He links my wolf and I.
***”They want me alive. They won’t hurt me and even if Adrielle is controlling him. He can’t fight for sh*t, there’s no way she can improve those skills. I am not letting him anywhere near you three or any of you. You are all obstacles to kill, not capture. I won’t let that happen.”***
“Sky, babe, you need to let us get closer so we can help.”*** Oliver tries reasoning with me.
***”No! I don’t know how far his reach is, but with the shackles his wolf and powers can’t be used, I’m sure of it. I will not take a chance that she can kill you using him.”***
Another ripple of growls behind me.
“Good to see you keep them on a tight leash. When you stand with us and lead our armies, it will be good to have so much control for so little effort. Binding them to us was such an exhausting chore. You do it so effortlessly with the flick of a wrist.”
Mike’s mouth moves with a strange voice. It doesn’t sound male or female, so I can’t be sure it’s Adrielle, but there isn’t any other person with the skills to pull this off.
I look down at my hands. One is balled at my side, I can feel the fingernails leaving marks in my palm. But the other is open and my palm is facing behind me. I don’t even remember doing that. Now that I am aware though, I can feel the power flow from my fingertips. It’s the same lava flow that I feel coursing through my body, but this is steady and slow, calm and controlled. It is my fire protecting the most important people in my world.
I don’t know why I feel compelled to search for the real person in there, but I have to know if Mike is still in there or if he is completely gone.
“You never wanted this. And you will be discarded just like I will be once we’ve been used for our purpose. Adrielle doesn’t want you, but she needs you to get what she wants. Don’t give her what she wants. Fight her, Mike.”
He just stares at me, the purple fire blazing in his eyes. His sneer of a smile stays in place. He just tilts his head side to side, like he is considering me. Then his lip curls in an evil look. Mike’s gone, and there’s no getting him back. I stand my ground ready for something to happen. Mike has no control and Adrielle can’t be stable.
Mike moves towards me and strains against the shackles. He stared at me. “We will have you. I will have you. There is no way you will escape what is coming.”
Then he breaks the shackles and moves towards the bars.
“Sky!” Dakota screams.
“Skylar, no!” Cam breathes out.
“Please, let us help you.”
Oliver says in an almost whimper.
Mike grabs the bars and begins to bend then. I have to fight harder to hold my mates back. I can feel then starting to break through my control, I know they are afraid for me. I can feel the fear lick up my spine, but i won’t have them in danger. I know for a fact that Adrielle won’t kill me, not until she gets what she wants and I will kill Mike before mate with him so I will stand here between my mates and the biggest threat we have ever faced.
I have to focus on holding everyone back and stand my ground and prepare for fight. I won’t be able to hold my guys back once we start fighting, I don’t
23 on Mike, so I have that kind of control, but twill be working on that as soon as all of this bullsh*t is over.
Mike bends the bars as far as he needs to worm his way out and he heads straight towards me.
I take a deep breath and focus on the right moment to engage. I let all of my warrior training take over.
The space between where I am standing and Mike’s broken cell is long enough for me to make a plan. He’s not in a hurry, moving like a predator towards me, watching me hold everyone back. He smiles that wicked smile, he thinks I’m waiting for him. Good.
