“Sleeping with Creed would distract anyone.” My eyes double in size, she has the biggest grin on her face.

“H-how did you know?” I made sure to scrub myself three times before getting out of the shower to rid myself of his scent.

“I think the whole house heard.” I feel the blush rise up the back of my neck and I drop my gaze. Sky reaches out and places her hand on my shoulder. “Don’t ever be ashamed of loving him, he is your mate.”

“No, he isn’t, I don’t have a wolf anymore Sky.” Before Sky can answer we hear a commotion and turn to see what’s happening, that’s when I notice Davina and a large number of vamps, I haven’t seen train with us come into the center. Vince makes his way over to her, but she raises her hand to stop him, her gaze then lands on me, and I shiver. There is a sinister look in her eyes, and I don’t like it, I spot Cairo, Zeke, Creed and Cole making their way toward us. What the hell is going on and why are they here?

“Detain them.” I stare at Davina in shock as the vamps around us hustle to follow their leaders’ instructions. They all rush toward the guys and Sky breaks away from me to go help my brother, I try to follow her, but I’m yanked backward. I dart my head from side to side to see two vamps holding each of my arms, I struggle in their hold as I watch my brother and the others try to fight off the vamps. There are too many vamps for them to possibly fight their way out of this, I watch as Colton is pushed to the ground by four vamps, Zeke is next roaring out his promise of killing them all slowly. Sky manages to get two of the seven off my brother but then Davina sends more men to help.

“What the fuck are you doing Davina?” She doesn’t pay me any attention, I turn back to my brother and Creed, Creed’s gaze is locked onto mine and my breath stills. He stops fighting and drops to his knees with his hands above his head. “What the fuck are doing Credence? Get up and fight now!” I feel the tears stream down my cheeks and confusion and anger wars inside me, the vamps pin his arms behind his back and drag him to his feet as they pull him away to stand next to Cole and Z who are both on their knees. I turn back to Sky and my brother and watch as they both struggle to fight them off.

“Subdue her or you will never get the alpha alive.” Davina sounds so cold and deadly; I stare at my brother with my heart in my throat.

“Skylar, you run––“

“Fuck off Cairo, I go where you go.” The conviction in Sky’s voice tells me she will never leave my brother. Sky would lay down her life for Cairo, he is stupid to think she would ever run when he is trouble. Six more vamps move toward them, and I notice that they wedge themselves between the two, they are now divided. Ro fights hard and fierce as fuck but with eight of them on him he doesn’t stand a chance, why won’t he shift? Cairo is brought to his knees, and I see the moment Sky notices him too, her arms swing out wide and her head lulls back as the wind begins to pick up around her…

“Sky, no! submit to me now and drop down, don’t fucking do it!” Sky swings her gaze to my brother with her chest rising and falling in rapid succession, she looks side to side at the vamps that are stood still around her. “Skylar?” She turns back to my brother with her fist clenched at her sides, anger radiating off her in waves. “Submit, no matter what, you fucking submit do you hear me?” Ro and Sky stay locked in a stare off for a long tense moment before Sky drops to her knees and locks her arms behind her back, the vamps rush forward and secure her before dragging her over toward Creed and the others. Creed remains on his feet with his gaze on Davina while the other three remain on their knees, the vamps drag my brother toward the center and my stomach begins to sink.

Oh my god, Davina plans to harm him.

Chapter

Thirty Eight

Jessica

My breaths come in rapid pants; my hands are getting clammy as I watch Davina move toward my kneeling brother. She stops in front of him and stares down at him like he is nothing but shit under her designer boots. She reaches out and grips Ro’s hair yanking it back until he stares up at her. He doesn’t make a sound; I can’t see her face because her back is to me, but I can see my brothers. The defiant glint in his eyes tells me he won’t give up without a fight, I have no idea what the hell happened to cause her to do this. We have done nothing but respect her rules and train, I even let her have time with my son!

“You are going to pay for what you have done Cruz.”

“The fuck are you on about Davina? I haven’t done shit to you or your people!” Why didn’t he shift and rip out the vamps’ throats?

“It’s time to pay for your sins, Cairo Cruz I hereby sentence you to death.” Gasps and shouts break out, I struggle against my captors hold and see that the others are doing the same. I watch as Sky fights harder than I have ever seen her do before.

“Kill me, I did it not Cairo. I’m the one you want!” Davina lifts her head toward Sky and shakes it.

“Knock her out, she lies.” I scream when I watch one of the vamp’s punch Sky three times before she is finally knocked out. Anger burns inside me and my hatred for Davina grows, I will burn this bitch alive if she takes my brother from me.

“The fuck is wrong with you! Don’t you cunts fucking touch her.” I hear the pain and anguish in my brother’s voice, he can’t see Sky, but he must know what just happened to her. Growls slip out of him, but he still doesn’t shift.

“Ahhhh, you see I had your water spiked this morning at your training camp. None of the wolves aside from Jess and Sky will be able to shift.” Fear courses through me, I look to the others and see concern on their faces, Sky hangs limply in the pathetic vamps hold. Four guys on one girl that hardly seems fucking fair to me! Anger soars inside me, I can feel the heat of it coursing through my veins as I stare at Davina, I want nothing more than to wipe that smug look off her perfect face. I tear my gaze from her and face Creed, he isn’t fighting against the vamps hold but his face is pure anger, why isn’t he saying anything?

“You fucking bitch, I’ll kill you for this!” Davina tsks Cairo as she moves toward him, the crowd that has gathered around us does nothing! They all stand there with their mouths agape watching this shit show, I look around and see only a handful of wolves’ present.

“Why the fuck aren’t you lot doing anything?” I scream at the wolves, the six of them refuse to meet my gaze and I watch as the vamps around close in, they are as trapped as we are. Desperation claws at me when Davina grips my brother’s hair and yanks his head back, so he is looking up at her. A whimper escapes me, I’m powerless again and there isn’t a damn thing I can do to stop this crazy bitch from killing my brother.

“Any last words?” Her voice holds no emotion she sounds so cold, tears stream down my cheeks and the lump in my throat grows when Cairo yanks his head free and faces me. His gaze holds no fear, but I can see the look of worry in his eyes but it’s not for himself it’s… for me.

“Ro…” I choke out past the lump in my throat.

“Close your eyes smalls and look away.” I shake my head unable to speak. “Do not watch this, close your fucking eyes Jess.” Sobs break free as I thrash against my captors hold.

“I’ll take his place, take me not him!” Zeke yells out. Davina ignores Zeke’s plea as she grips my brother’s hair again and yanks his head back. One of the vamps closest to her hands her a dagger, the silver of the blade taunts me as it shines in the sunlight. She lifts it to Cairo’s throat; my gaze is still locked on his as he smiles sadly. I can hear a scream echoing around us and it takes me a moment to realize that the scream is coming from me.

“Davina that’s enough, if you do this, we will never fucking forgive you!”

“You will never forgive me anyway Colton.” It’s as if time moves in slow motion, I see her arm stiffen as she prepares to slice the blade across my brother’s throat…then it happens. I feel Sheba thrash against the mental barrier between us, I don’t get time to rejoice in finally feeling her again and knowing she isn’t lost to me. She forces the shift upon me, and I don’t fight, I welcome the pain, I relish in the burn of my muscles tearing and reforming, I thrive on the feeling of my bones breaking and reforming. I feel the guards hold on me drop as I land on all fours. I shiver at the feeling of my coat being shook out and how sharp my senses become in my true form, Sheba doesn’t hesitate she leaps from the ground and dodges the guards that try to step in her way, when we are mere feet from Davina she jumps back from my brother and drops the blade to the floor with her arms up surrendering. Sheba crouches low ready to pounce on her, she releases a growl of pure terror, its long and loud and filled with so much power that I can feel it ricocheting around us. Sheba tenses and then launches into the air with her jaws open ready to clamp them around Davina’s throat and tear it out but then suddenly we’re knocked sideways and sailing through the air and land with a hard thud. Sheba uses the sliding momentum and rolls to her feet growling but stops when we seewhoknocked us away from Davina.
