Devon snarled and launched himself at the guard, his body changing right in front of my eyes until all that was left of him were the silver eyes on the huge black wolf that was tearing away viciously at the guard. I was shocked but I didn't waste time as I quickly pulled out my gun and kicked the other guard who had reached for me. His gun flew out of his hands and I didn't hesitate to shoot his leg. He howled as he went down.I picked up his machine gun and turned to face the third guard but he was not where he had been moments ago. I looked around sharply until I saw him moving slowly towards where Devon was clawing at the first guard. He had his gun trained on Devon's wolf form. I cursed and rushed for him but it was too late. A deafening sound came from the gun as I watched the bullets hit the wolf's black fur. He growled and his form trembled, his fur dripping with blood as he turned to look at the guard who was still pointing the gun at him, I shouted and fired at the guard blin
I somehow managed to keep my eyes away from the six feet of muscled young, male werewolf who was standing in front of me as naked as the day he was born. It was a relief that his back was to me so I didn't get the full view. I gulped as I squeezed my eyes shut. It was not uncommon to see naked bodies in Etherea occasionally in your life because it was a werewolf realm but some bodies.. damn. I got onto my feet and tried to ignore the constant drumming in my head. Damn, the guard hit me too hard. "You're ready, Agent?" He asked as I came to stand beside him, trying to keep my eyes on the surface of the lake and not anywhere else. His question had me going rigid and I quickly peeked at his face. He was not looking at me."What?" I asked. "We have to jump through the portal, keep your head straight." He barked. My cheeks burned with embarrassment. He knew I was uncomfortable because of him. That damned hybrid knew."Yes, Agent." I whispered meekly and stared down at the lake. Shit
I sat there numb for a few minutes. The screams were so filled with pain that it made goosebumps rise on my body. I just couldn't handle the fact that someone was in pain while I sat there. I pulled myself up and slowly rubbed my eyes. One look at the clock said it was 8 in the morning. I had to go to the office and inform Winterlash about all that had happened in the human world.My eyes fell back to the phone and I shivered. I had to do something to forget the phone call, I decided as I took off for my room. I changed into a gray cotton shirt which hung loose on me and buttoned on the front, a pair of tight black slacks and a braided beige belt. I stepped into my all black running shoes and pulled my hair back in a tight ponytail. I reached down under my bed and took out the tranquilliser gun and my lethal 9 mm which had silver bullets, tucking them into my thigh holster. I was ready. My pickup was waiting for me and I quickly got in, starting it down the slope and onto the road.
"Why am I summoned?" I asked him softly. "I don't know that. I was just told to appoint my best agent." Winterlash replied. "And you appointed me?" I squeaked. Why?! I wanted to scream."You're the best we have." He shrugged, his eyes gleaming at me and I knew the bastard was enjoying this. "But.. but I can't go! I have to go back to the human realm and rescue those creatures, you have to understand I can't go!" I exclaimed, thinking about the poor creatures and the vampires trapped in the organisation. Winterlash didn't reply, his eyes lowered and I felt a bit unnerved by his reaction. "The portals. They are not sealed, are they?" I asked him, dreading his answer. When he just gave a small nod, I felt my stomach lurch. "What about the creatures, Winterlash?" I asked him softly. He didn't answer. "I can't believe it. We can't abandon them! You have to open the portals. I have to save them!" I hissed at him but he just ignored me. My eyes burned and I felt a stray tear roll dow
The grey eyes burned me down bit by bit and all I could do was stare. His dark hair were styled impeccably but one black lock spilled on his brow as if it couldn't be controlled, he was wearing a black tunic that gaped open till his mid chest, showing off the rich golden skin of his, the tight dark pants molded to his muscular thighs and legs perfectly emphasising.. his power.He looked so different, nothing like the half naked agent wearing threadbare jeans. I knew I was ogling him but I couldn't pull my eyes away from him. "Are you both done looking at each other?" Xavier drawled, breaking the moment. Devon straightened and looked away from me. "I will show you to your rooms, come with me." He said curtly and started walking towards the stairs made of flawless marble which led upward in a long, straight sweep, then divided into two, both arms leading to the gallery above.I breathed deeply and followed him with Xavier and Ivan behind me. They were busy in some conversation so I qu
"What happened?" I asked him, ignoring the deadly look he was giving me. "I hurt you!" He hissed furiously as he took a swig from the bottle, his body swaying backwards. He was drunk. "I hurt you and it hurt me.. and I don't want to feel anything." He whispered, staring at my face intensely, my heart skipped a beat at his words. "What?" I rasped and watched with wide eyes as he staggered towards me, until we were standing nose to nose. "I hurt you, Nesta." He said softly, his eyes returning to their original colour. He looked so vulnerable. I couldn't stop my hand from reaching his cheek as I caressed his face, rubbing his cheek with my fingers."It's okay, Devon. You didn't hurt me." I whispered. My eyes never leaving his. His large hand covered mine over his cheek and I instantly felt the wetness of his blood. I jerked my hand back and caught his. It was covered in blood, an angry red slash on his palm. I looked up at him but he wasn't staring at his hand, his eyes were pinned o
I felt like throwing up, Devon was holding her hand as he talked to her, murmuring something into her ear which made her laugh. My blood boiled and I had to clench my teeth to keep myself in place. What was wrong with me?! We were inside the Ulfric's castle, in the middle of a ballroom filled with what seemed like hundreds of creatures from around the realms, not to mention the fact that the Ulfric could enter any time now. I had to calm myself down. "A lady as beautiful as yourself should not stand alone, love." The deep masculine voice jerked me out of my thoughts. I looked around and peered at the big, tawny haired werewolf in front of me and was left staring as I glimpsed at his gray eyes. They looked too much like Devon's. "No words?" He asked, flashing a smile. A short werewolf walking by us stopped quite suddenly as he looked at the man in front of me with surprise in his eyes and bowed deeply in respect and I watched in fascination as the tawny haired one inclined his head
"Daniel?!" I exclaimed his name and looked up at my brother-in-law, towering over me. "Nesta? What are you doing here?" He asked, frowning down at me. "Is Lou with you?" I asked, my eyes moving around him, searching for my sister. "No, she's not with me. But what the hell are you doing here?" He asked again. My face fell as I heard his answer; she was not with him. "I am.. here with someone." I said and tried not to look behind me, at the hybrid who I had left behind me. "Who?" He asked, amber eyes narrowing slightly. "Just some friends of mine." I replied, waving away his question. "How's Louisa? Why didn't she come with you?" I asked, changing the subject. "She.. didn't want to come and she's fine." He said and shrugged. I knew he was lying. "You know I can tell you're lying, Daniel." I said stiffly, really worried about my sister."Fine. We had a fight, okay? I didn't want her to come with me, there were other Alphas going to be here and I didn't want to be distracted by he
