“How did you get this?” I ask, tapping the steel going through his thigh. He hisses in pain as I tap it, a smile spreading across my face at his pain.
“Please we mean no harm, we are just camping here,” She begs her hands trembling on the man’s shoulders.
“I asked you a question and you lied, I don’t like liars,” I told her.
“Now who else is with you?” I asked and they both shook their heads. I hear movement behind me and I turn facing Tim as he tries to sneak off.
“Sit down or I will make sure you never walk again,” I tell him and he drops on the ground as he shakes in fear. Looking back at the man and woman, I reach past him grabbing her by the hair and jerking her to me. She screams trying to free my grip on her hair.
“Now this is the last time I will ask nicely, who else lives here?” I ask the man, his brown eyes on his mate as she sobs clutching at my hand trying to get me to let go.
“You will never have her,” The man spits at my feet.
“You do know who I am looking for then?” He smiles and I tug on his mate's hair again and she lets out a cry, his eyes darting to her.
“Where is she?” I ask him.
“Screw you,” He snarled while glaring at me. I would have commanded them to tell me but I was enjoying playing with them, nothing better than watching the fear in another's eyes, before watching the light leave them completely. I had no intention of letting them live. They helped hunt my family and they would pay for that mistake, and this would ensure Tim comes running when he hears anything.
Standing up, I dragged the woman with me. Josic tried to stand but his injured leg prevented him as he fell back on the cave floor, his blood pooling onto the floor more from the movement. I forced her on her knees, in front of her mate, clamping my hands on the side of her head before giving a sharp twist, her neck snapped as I turned her head so it now faced me and I relished in the sound of her neck breaking and the feel of her bones snapping under my hands.
Josic’s eyes turned glassy, his agonized scream that left him as he watched her fall limply at my feet made goosebumps raise on my skin delightfully. I kicked her to the side before kneeling in front of the man.
His sobbing made my heart swell with happiness, my wolf pressed beneath my skin wanting to unleash on the man that had been helping our mate hide from us. My hand wrapped around the star picket, I twisted it, his blood-curdling scream bounced off the cave walls and I heard Tim whimper behind me.
I jerked him to his feet, grabbing him by the back of the neck. I held his face over the flames of the fire, the smell of his burning flesh and hair leaving a foul taste in the back of my mouth.
“Where is my mate,” I asked him, his screams telling me he was incapable of answering, he thrashed in my grip and I forced him closer to the flames, pressing his face against the glowing embers of wood, his screams grew louder and I could feel the flames licking at my arm and fingers as I held him in place. The man's screams died out completely when a new sound echoed throughout the cave. The menacing growl of a wolf made me look over my shoulder.
The man fell onto the fire when I let him go, the wolf stepped closer, her scent filled my nose as I looked at her beautiful white wolf. Her eyes darted to the dead woman behind me and she whimpered, rushing toward her, nudging her with her nose. An agonized howl leaves her making me wonder who the woman is to her. She didn't seem that fussed by the man's death but the woman upset her.
She continues nudging the woman's face. I growl annoyed that she hasn’t even acknowledged my presence. Does she not know I am her mate, not know who I am?. She pivots remembering I am here before baring her teeth and growling at me. She lowers her head, stalking toward me. And I find it amusing how angry she is over some bitch of a rogue.
“Now love, is that any way to greet your mate?” I asked her and she growled louder, taking a step toward me. Her fur hackled up and claws scratched the ground under her feet.
What I wasn’t expecting was her to attack me, her canines tore into my leg as she ripped a chunk of flesh off. I shoved her away a little too hard as she goes flying into the cave wall. She bounced onto her feet, and I lunged at her trying to grab her. Her teeth sliced through my arm before she shook her head viciously. I groaned at the pain searing through my arm.
Chapter 3
“Fuckingletmeshift,Brax,” I screamed at my wolf. He doesn’t, refusing to hurt her, even though she was fucking tearing shreds off me. I grabbed the fur on the back of her neck, ripping her head away, her teeth pulled away from my arm painfully.
“Enough!” I scream at her, forcing my Alpha aura over her to make her submit. She whimpered, going limp in my grip. My blood-stained the cave floor as it ran down my arm and dripped off my fingers.
I let her go, and she dropped her head on her paws, whimpering. Standing up, I reach down to grab her and force her to shift when she turns on me. Her teeth snapped at my hand before she took off running from the cave.
An annoyed growl left me at this game of cat and mouse. She won’t escape me this time. Turning around, I find Tim still frozen on the ground, having not moved an inch. “Help me catch her, and I will let you live another day,” I tell him. He nods, all too eager to get up.
“She enjoys hiding in the caves,” he says, and I nod while walking out.
“The others? Who are they to her?” I ask him. He looked behind us as we walked out of the cave.
“Her parents,” he mumbled, giving me a nervous glance. Fuck!
I followed her scent. Tim looked around anxiously at every noise. Every snap of a twig had him jumping. His nervousness had me confused. What could he possibly be scared of with me beside him? Coming to another cave entrance, we could hear the feral sounds of a fight. I could smell blood, her blood, along with the blood of a bear. Brax pressed against my skin. Fur sprouted along my arms as he fought for control. Control I wasn’t willing to give him yet.
As I walked into the cave, my eyes adapted to the endless darkness. The pungent smell became stronger when the growls suddenly stopped. The sound of a high-pitched whimper makes my heart jolt for a second until we stumble across the bear. Torn to pieces, its fur lying in clumps on the cave floor.
Tim notices the dead bear a little too late as he trips over its fallen form. A shriek of fear left him before I gripped his arm, pulling him from the torn-up remains, his body drenched in the blood of the huge bear. Surely she didn’t do that, as I looked down at its torn-out guts spilling over the ground, organs ruptured and on display. I could tell her blood had been spilled too, her scent everywhere as we continued our trek through the winding caves. Tim jumped at every noise irritating me.
