“What is it?” I ask, keeping a close eye on her.
“A part of me, the one I haven’t really known . . .”
“Your wolf, what about her?” She might not be able to shift, never will be, but that part of her is still there. I can sense it now more than the first time I saw her.
“The idea of your wolf taking control.”
A growl rumbles in my chest loud enough to cause her to stop speaking, and a bright blush rises on her cheeks. Leaning in, I press my nose to hers, knowing she can see the wolf in my eyes and I can see the one inside her. “Tonight, baby, you’re mine, now go.” The order comes out more animalistic than I mean it to, but it gets her ass moving, not in fear. She’s just listening to the animal that wants her as much as I do.
Switching my focus to the task at hand, I search out Big Daddy and jerk my chin upward as I make my way across the room to him. “You need to go to Cyrus’s clubhouse, tell him that his mate, Harmony, now has the protection of the vampires.”
“You want to explain how that’s come about?” Big Daddy demands, planting his hands on his hips.
“Let’s just say Karsyn cast an enchantment over all of Redwich. Those within the town limits cannot be mind fucked by the blood witches,” I answer and leave it at that. “Just tell him if he needs to know more, he can call me. Otherwise, he can figure out the rest for himself. Also, inform him that after he finds his mate, the future changes, and Death is now mine to handle while he takes on his own bullshit.”
Big Daddy sucks in a harsh breath and shakes his head. “I’ll tell him,” he says. “I’ll call you later to check in on Sage.”
“Right,” I mutter, knowing he would. Big Daddy is all about his granddaughters. Loves them nearly as much as Cyrus and I love our daughters. I might not be a fan of my brother, but we share this in common, and that’s never gonna change.
I wait for him to leave and turn to find Justice leaning against the bar, a beer in hand, watching me. “Church. Now.” I don’t wait for any of my brothers to respond. Turning on my heels, I make my way to the room in which we all meet.
It was designed and built by Big Daddy and those who came before me and my brothers who now, sit at the table. The table is solid oak, carved within it predator animals snarling. It’s long enough that each and every one of my brothers has a seat. Not just those of us who hold rank.On the walls, it’s some of the same but with color added to it and the moon bright over the preying animals. This room is where we meet and proves regardless of the animal within us, we’re brothers. One and the same. No matter what we hold inside.
I take my seat at the head of the table and wait for the others to fill the room. Each and every one of them is silent as they take their seats. Justice takes his to my right. Dane on the other side of him. Abel sits to my left, Tucker next to him. The door closes behind Salem, who takes his seat next to Tobias at the other end.
“I know you all are wondering what the fuck is going on around here,” I state, glancing around the table and seeing the hardened eyes of my brothers. “You all know I now have a mate. It’s no secret as to this. She’s a hybrid. Wolf shifter and earth witch. You all also know that she’s Daniel’s daughter, Dane’s half-sister. What you don’t know is that she’s far more special than any of you realize. Those of you who were with me today witnessed it and can attest to this.” Leaning forward. I brace my elbows on the table. “Karsyn has the ability to disappear and appear in other places. She doesn’t have a handle on this as it’s never happened to her before, but I believe she will.” I give them a few more details about her abilities, leaving out the part about the bond between the two of us. That’s something they don’t need to know. No one does. They don’t need to know her life and mine are all but one.”During the meet with Orpheus, Karsyn appeared just after he asked me to speak with her about an enchantment to protect the vampires from the blood witches.”
“What the fuck?”
“Why the hell would he ask that?”
“Vampire business is just that, vampire business. Same as shifters.”
Several of my brothers muttered.
“Let Prez finish,” Justice orders, and a terse silence fills the room.
“As I was saying, he asked for her help casting an enchantment. In return, he’d grant her protection. I told him I would speak with her. At that moment, she made herself known. She further casted the spell needed over Redwich. But it wasn’t just for vampires, but shifters alike. All of those within the town are protected from blood witches getting to them using their minds.” I give them all a moment to let that sink in. By doing what she did, she’s protecting not just a few but all of these men and the shifters who aren’t a part of the club or the life we all live. She did what she could to ensure that they would always be able to think for themselves.“The last thing I’m going to share with you all is something that doesn’t leave this fuckin’ table. If anyone outside this room learns of it, it could endanger my mate,” I inform them and finish off by telling them about what happened in the meadow and how she connected with the earth.
The rest of church we spend discussing protection. All of my brothers understand the importance of Karsyn’s safety. By the time we finish and I check the time, I inwardly groan at what I’ve got to do next.
“Now, I need Tucker and Dane, because she’s your sister, and you can deal with the ultimate torture alongside me, along with another few of you to go with me as I take Karsyn and Sage shopping,” I announce, banging my knuckles on the table wrapping up church as the room fills with groans and grumbles. In the end, I know the majority of them all will be out there, if not directly with me, then close enough to sniff out any danger coming for either my mate or daughter.
Chapter Eighteen
Karsyn
“That’s right, Syn, ride me,” Corbin demands, his fingers digging into my hips, guiding my movements, taking me there. There being to my release ensuring I brought on the flame that consumes us both.
Flipping us, Corbin plows inside me, sending me higher into bliss only he can show me. His movements become sporadic, and he shoves his face into my neck, his teeth finding the mark where he sinks them in and growls. His shaft moves inside me, twitching, filling me with his release. Another orgasm rushes through. It could be that it’s the same one, but it intensifies, drawing a cry from my lips.
Corbin slows his movements, teeth still locked in the crease between my neck and shoulder. The flames licking at our skin, warming us, simmers as I catch my breath. I love it when Corbin’s inside me. Every chance we have, I enjoy it. In the past week, I’ve experienced it several times a day. My favorite of those experiences is at night when I fall asleep in his arms, his length still seated inside me.
During the times he wasn’t inside me, I spent a lot of time learning things I never thought I would about the world. At first, I felt lame and stupid because I didn’t know the things that you learn in school. My brother and dad, it feels weird still to call them these names, but that’s exactly what they are, and they deserve the titles.
There was only one rule Corbin set in place for me and that was that I didn’t go anywhere without someone on me. Even Sage had a guard on her at the school. Though, that guard stayed in animal form the entire time they were at the school and stayed out of sight.
For me, though, if Corbin wasn’t on me, either Dane or one of the other members were. When I could, I spent time outside but never connected with the earth unless Corbin was with me. After the day in the meadow, it almost seems too intimate to do in front of anyone else. Yesterday, while I did this, it ended with him inside me again.
