“Dammit, Katarina,” he said, looking around like he was expecting to see the guys at any moment.

“Run, Clodius.” I laughed from the floor when I felt his fear.

He punched me in the face so hard I saw stars.

“Katarina!!” The bellow of my name left me with goosebumps.

“You fucking bitch, you’re going to regret that.” Clodius threw me over his shoulder while Rupert was rolling on the ground. He started to run, when the edge of the property came into view on my left close to the animals. Panic clawed at me, I couldn’t leave with him.

A loud snarl sounded when I looked behind us, seeing them. Three wolves came rushing towards us.

“Alright kitty, let's get this on you and we can walk out of here.” He slid me down his body as I couldn’t help my smile that they were getting closer.

He slipped a necklace over my neck, the cool metal rested on my skin, instantly making me feel funny.

A yell from Rupert and a snarl made me look behind Clodius. They had caught up to him. The blond wolf jumped on him when a black and brown wolf helped him take him down. Lucien grabbed his arm, ripping it from his socket like it was just a piece of string. Rupert bellowed while Aeon bit his neck pulling a chunk of his neck off. Zev ran towards us at full speed.

“Dammit, Rupert was actually a decent guy.” He carried me bridal style walking backwards as I saw all of them running to me now.

“Say bye, Kitty Kat.” Clodius laughed.

We passed through the barrier like it wasn’t even there. Zev jumped at us crashing into it.

Clodius laughed mechanically. I thrashed in his arms, trying to make my limbs move but they were small movements that did nothing to him.

This wasn’t fucking happening.

Clodius tightened his grip, but I had a renewed sense of urgency. I prayed for strength, and I concentrated everything into hitting him square in the face. The crunching sound of his nose echoed as he dropped me. It took everything I had to get up from the floor, trying to run but I kept tripping.

“Come on, Katarina!” Zev yelled.

“Hurry, Kit Kat,” Lucien yelled, looking furious.

Aeon and I just looked at each other, him silently urging me on with his furious gaze.

All three of them were at the barrier with their hands resting against it.

I was close to them, I was going to make it.

“Run!” Aeon yelled, his face full of panic.

I pushed myself, when Clodius wrapped an arm around my waist shocking me but just enough to have me momentarily incapacitated.

“Let her fucking go.” Lucien bared his teeth, eyes turning yellow pounding at the barrier.

Clodius laughed, licking my face.

“Get your fucking hands off of her and you might be spared from a fate worse than death.” Aeon’s eyes were also yellow, as he pounded at the barrier.

“Or else what?” Clodius yelled. “You’re going to kill me? I’d like to see you try.”

“You better hide because when I find you, you will be wishing for death,” Zev growled menacingly.

“I’m shaking in my boots,” Clodius taunted as he picked me up. “Thanks, boys!”

Pain racked my body in powerful surges as I saw Lucien throwing fire at the barrier yelling my name, Aeon punching it, calling out for me and Zev with both hands on it looking at me with determination. The ground shook but nothing more happened as Zev punched the barrier.

“I’ll find her!” Zev growled. “There isn’t anything we wouldn’t do for her. Tell Caston we will see him soon!”

Zev's confidence didn’t help the feeling that this might be the last time I would ever see them before Clodius's laughter rang in the air and he shocked me into oblivion.
