secured to your dining chair.” Her wrists and ankles we re bound courtesy of his ever handy sil ver filled rope. Even with the immortal strength he now knew she possessed, this female wasn’t going anywhere until he relented. Wonder if she has claws?
“You say secured like it’s for my safety, instead of displayed for your warped entertainment.” She didn’t return his smile. “Feeding me,” Rebecca shook her hea d, too angry to finish. She obviously knew there was silver hidden inside the ropes as she hadn’t bothered trying to free herself .
“Feeding you is my right, one of many .” Hot steel mel ted inside him, metal lava . He felt the burn as the beast fueled his thoughts, penetrating his mind .
Mark her.
Ah, werewolf , I really should .
“My mate s ’ right s!” s he blew up, breaking his trance. No more games, she tilted her chin with a clear challenge.
“You’re fortunate he lives, that we’ve come to an understanding.”
“ You…” She stopped, quickly understanding that her true mat e had been captured. “ If you’ve tortured him,” she warned, canines digging into her bottom lip until two beads of blood formed .
“He’s well,” he cut her off. Slanting his head , he licked the dr oplets before she had the chance to snap at him . Unmistakably he tasted a pure blood from a very old and strong line.
“You played us all a long.”
“Well, no one ever plays me , lass .” Confidence dripped, coating his simple sentence with the supremacy of a thousand-year-old creature.
“You set the first two o penings,” she said. He studied her expressions as the truth unfolded afore her. “ Weakened wards aren’t your style. I realize th at now, understanding your power …”she stalled, shaking her head, “ How are you forming and holding all wards on such a vast property? Ah,” she held th at thought and clicked the pieces . “Druid s pells, you’re full of the m. A true shaman who never needed a back-up, you knew the entire time,” her laughter was weak, troubled, “ What are you going to do with… ?”
“Your true mate ?”
“ Yes, my true mate. We’re u s and we’re one, ” she bit out , watching him watching her.
The Alpha beast stalked , and she clearly sensed it. Moving behind his eyes, pacing, as if he’d found his mate again . A singular female, his queen, his true lover, the per fect match in the game Weres played , the Alpha thought she was the only one.
Helene is gone . He reminded his beast .
“I’ve decided not to cause you such insurmountable pain, therefore he’ll live ,” Ciaran stated baldly. The king was he.
“ Of course , you undoubtedly make those ‘life and death’ decisions daily, depending on the weather.” She had the nerve to be surly. “ You want me, Ciaran, yet you don’t.”
“So young, so smart, so beautiful, so mine,” he mocked. So dangerous to my heart, in these harrowing times of war how will I protect a fair butt erfly gracing my hand before I’m forever robbed of its very existence? Especially when my enemies find you’re my weakness . “ Don’t mistake obsessive lust for needs to claim. A n unmated male is … what he is, and I am one. I had a mate. She died. You can’t replace her . ”
“Never volunteered for the job,” she softened her tone , withholding the rancor. Without a doubt, she sat worried for her young male . “Nor would biology permit, ” she added.
Hooking his heels behind her front chair leg s, he scooted her over, knees pressing knees . We will no longer speak of mates. “ You thought to embarrass me publically with this manner of dress?”
“ You thought to humiliate me by making me your bitch. These hung readied in the closet. I honored your dress code, making it real.”
