He smirks.“Of course.”
I grin, and we rush toward the front door.The men are idiots.We’re able to pick them off when they get bottlenecked as they enter.
“Go get the others!I’ll get the girl,” Pyrce instructs as I knock out the last man.
I nod, jumping over the pile of bodies.Abe runs my way, and I point toward our land.He understands immediately and whistles to the others.
Pyrce appears behind me, the woman cradled in his arms.He pushes past, heading back to Night Grove Falls.
That’s when it hits me.
Mate!My wolf howls.
I react before I can think.Grabbing Pyrce’s shoulder, I yank him to a halt and throw him up against the house.
“Reyes!”He stares at me like I’m crazy.“What the fuck, dude?”
I can’t answer.I grab the girl from his arms and cradle her against me.
“Mine,” I snarl.
Understanding dawns in his eyes.“Great.Nowgo!”
He shoves me in the direction our friends are disappearing into the trees.
I take off, holding my mate securely against me.
My thoughts race as I restrain my wolf and keep up with everyone else.I can’t believe I just found my fated mate.I know I probably scared her when I grabbed her, but I couldn’t help it.
I can’t control myself right now.
We reach our pack’s land, and I slow to a walk, staring down at my fated mate.I look for any signs of injuries, but aside from some rope burn on her wrists, she seems intact.
She’s a curvy little thing, and my mouth waters as my eyes roam over her.I look at her angelic face, and her green eyes lock with mine.Every instinct inside me screams at me to bite and claim her.
Yes!Make her ours!my wolf orders.
I pause beside a tree to clear my head.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”I ask, looking down at her.
She opens her mouth to talk, but her voice is hoarse.Tears spring to her eyes.
I hold her tighter as she squirms, fighting to get out of my arms.“I need to get you to a doctor.”
She shakes her head, pointing back toward the cult.Agonized whimpers spill from her lips as she points to the cult again.
“They can’t hurt you.They’ll never touch you again,” I say, trying to reassure her.
Tears spill onto her cheeks, each one cutting me open.
For the first time ever, I wonder if I just rescued someone who didn’t want to be saved.
TWO
Taylor
I point back againas the guy carrying me continues to walk, but he doesn’t understand me or what I want.When the guys first showed up, I was scared.Then the blindfold was taken off, and I knew we were finally being rescued.
