“You used your Alpha command voice to get him to shift and heal?” I ask.
He nods. “And now that he is no longer in danger, we must find Lita.”
“I will find her,” I tell him. “You look after the child.”
We cannot bring a small boy to a fight with a chimera.
“Adam,” Scratch tells me, as he picks the little wolf up, carrying him.
“Adam.” The little wolf looks at me. “I will have to meet you properly later, little man. I have a mate to rescue.”
He barks loudly before he shifts back into his human form, his eyes wide.
“L-l-lita is in danger. He spoke a-a-about her. He’s got her in the b-b-basement.”
“Thanks, Adam.”
Now, I can find our mate.
Chapter Fifty-One
Lita
Thedarkroomiscold, and my feet hurt from the glass, but I ignore the discomfort and I step right into the middle of the room anyway, knowing exactly what’s in here before a thick, scaly body slithers past my leg.
I’m fuzzy on all the details of making a chimera, but I know it can only be done once and it requires sacrifices of the animals that are needed to become a chimera, as well as an accepted bond with a full-blooded chimera.
Orion will never get me to accept a bond with him.
As for the animals he planned to sacrifice, well, I have other plans for them.
My heart is racing in my chest as I count down the minutes in the dark space, closing my eyes and getting ready to open them again once Orion enters the room to start the ritual.
I barely have to wait five minutes before the room gets bright.
Blinking my eyes open, I give them a few seconds to adjust before I attempt to take in my surroundings.
The snake is even bigger than I suspected. She looks like a python, of some kind.
The cat is a black panther. She’s sitting on the ground, licking her paw, looking as if she doesn’t have a care in the world.
Orion walks around to face me, a smile plastered on his face.
“You passed the test, Lita. I knew you would.”
I ignore all the come backs I want to blurt out.
“They’re pretty,” I tell him, talking about his chosen victims.
The snake already likes me. I put my hand out and she moves under it, letting me stroke her skin.
The cat might not be on my wavelength. I’m not sure. It’s hard to tell.
Considering I’m bonded to men with feline and reptilian genetics, and I’m a Luna, I have high hopes that my command voice will work on at least one of them.
It’s possible it could even work on Orion but given that he has some sort of spell in place in this basement, the animals feel like a safer bet.
“A lot of animals have command structures,” I tell him, as he crosses the room, and takes a machete from a hook on the wall.
