Connor POV I opened that door and once Leland's body popped up behind the desk I knew I would no longer be in control Fenris lunged past the veil and instantly we shifted right there in the office, Leland hissed at us like it would scare Fenris off. Not a fucking chance! I could smell Bec's blood, she was hurt which only made Fenris angrier. Fully shifted we filled half of the room blocking all means of escape Leland had no where to go but he stupidly jumped to us lunging for our neck, Fenris seen it coming and with one paw we swiped at him knocking him back into the desk before he could move we swiped at his chest shredding the front of him wide open sending blood and splinters off the desk flying the smell of blood in the air now over powered the scent of fear. Fenris didn't give him any more opportunities to live another minute, diving at Leland grabbing him by the throat snapping every single vertebra, muscle and artery in his neck under the pressure of his jaw as he shook the fle
Third Person Pov The air around Connor and Asmodeus was thick, but before Connor could speak Fenris pushed forward. "Explain, NOW!" Fenris's deep gravel voice was laced heavy with alpha command, it being present when he spoke showed to Asmodeus how severe this situation was."It's a tough one to really get into Alpha" Asmodeus spoke calmly every syllable like silk "If I go into to much detail about the prophecy then you'll know to much to soon " His black eyes locked onto Connor's body watching his reaction "What fucking Prophecy?" Fenris's patience was thin to begin with and Asmodeus could sense it, That wolf was as impatient as they came "Your mate is on her way to you, I can divulge that much" Saying that to Fenris Asmodeus knew he would literally be all ears "My Mate? what does she have to do with your Demons Deus? using his pet name"She is the reason my Demons are abandoning their posts, It was prophesied that The Shadow shall be released to the world, and darken every land
Fenris POVConnor is right. We have a mate, But if he is forcing us to go away I cannot leave her here wondering why we abandoned her. Connor is only looking out for us this I know, I may be a beast but I am also capable of much more than Connor gives me credit. We wouldn't have survived this long had it not been for Connor, But I also know Rebecca White has a hold on me in ways I never thought possible. Its so hard to not be selfish about this, I owe it to him not to be. I have forced him to endure a lot of terrible shit and he's only asking me this one thing and its to walk away from Bec so we can have our mate. "Red" My voice came out gravelly and despondent "Fenris?” Her voice was breathy and faint I grumbled knowing apologizing was difficult in general for me, but I also didn’t want to scare her since I was in full control of Connors body only the red of my iris giving away my presence "Please forgive me little one but I have no choice"Bec was able to sit completely up right
Connor POVFenris was able to keep my pushed out until we made it back to the Penthouse. Angry? Pissed? irritate? I don't think there is a word for how I'm feeling. He locked me away like I was the animal! I don't even know what he did, let alone if the damn place is still standing."What have you done Fenris?! WHAT HAPPENED WITH BEC!""I said goodbye to her. Alone""WHY?!""Because she deserved it, she deserved to know we are leaving ""WE!? you mean your not going to fight me on this?""We are home are we not?""You used me while I was back there, Why?""I needed to make sure I didn't hurt her body""Why would you need me for that?""Your self control, I had to use it""How did she-""She will be fine" He cut me off and I could tell he wanted to leave it at that"She's physically fine though right Fen?" I could feel his pain, my own emotions mirroring his"Yes" that was all he said before he locked himself away, its the first time he put up his own block. I didn't know he could even
Bec POVI don't know how many days I've been in bed since Connor left. My body felt depleted after coming off the Aconite Leland injected me with. But most importantly I felt deep sadness, I was completely alone again. Why did everyone have to leave me? First my father then Dorian they didn’t get a choice in the matter unfortunately their abrupt absences from my life were permanent but Connor? He had a choice and he chose to leave. His choice to leave tore at a part of my being that confused the hell out of me and had me not only questioning everything between us over the last month or so but also my entire marriage. Of course I enjoyed being around my husband, But the way I felt around Connor it was like he slowly woke up apart of myself I didn't know was there. I felt different, and I was exhausted because of it. It was obvious I held some kind of emotional feelings for him. We had grown close since Dorian passed, Or so I thought. He wanted to leave because I would
I finished packing up my old room and gathered a few bags and took them down the stairs. I told Kris she could have everything in my bedroom in exchange for her favor. Once I got to the bottom of the stairs I took my bags to the foyer so I could get them all to my car without my mother trying to stop me. I had an inkling she wasn't done. Before I could make my way back to the kitchen to tell mom I was leaving she was behind me with a plate of cookies covered in plastic film and two take away containers of what I didn’t know.My arms stayed by my side as I eyed her wearily."Peace offerings? I made up some of the leftovers for you and Leo.." She held out her offerings to me. For the sake of not picking a fight I took them"Thank you mom, I appreciate it. I'm sure Leo will too""I hope so. Do you need any help getting your things?""No you don't need to help me its okay some are kinda heavy""KRIS!” I called out behind her"She left.." worry in moms tone ma
I knew the drive home would be long with the storm that came in. It took over an hour to get back to the vineyard and Leo followed safely behind me. I still didn't now how this arrangement was supposed to work. The cottage only had one bedroom how was he supposed to keep guard the entire time? How much sleep do werewolves need? and not to mention how often do they need to let their wolf out? I don't even know what to call it. Transforming? shapeshifting? We pulled into the parking lot and made our way to the white gate I used my key card this time to raise the bar so we could enter. The drive way wound is an S shape all the way to the the gravel clearing that made getting in and out easy. The sun was still in the sky but I was already ready to clock out for the day. We parked and I grabbed the duffels I had in my trunk and headed inside to my room. I dug around and found some loose fitting shorts and my house slippers, I changed quickly in the bathroom. I didn't feel like unpacking t
I blink rapidly whipping my head in Leo's direction, he had a firm grip on the glass that was just in my hand but he didn't hold it for more than a few seconds before he hissed. The glass dropped to the ground shattering into a million pieces steam rolled off of the ground from where the liquid had ended up. Leo was looking at his hand and as I jumped to my feet I could see his fingers were bright red. Had I not been consumed by the rage caused by our game of questions and other peoples actions I would have cared more that he was injured. He looked back at me his eyes were wide as he took a step back from me where I was now standing. The glass crunching under the rubber of my slippers didn't stop me from moving forward to him ready to push this mountain of a man on his ass "WHAT IN THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM!" I poked my finger into his chest making him back off the cement pad. His hands were raised up in defense and I could see his hand was fine now "I-I-" He stammered but I gave him
