Chapter 574
***”‘We’ my ass.”*** My wolf grumbles in my head and I can feel that my mates think the same, but they are keeping their tempers under control for now.
I just keep my mouth shut. He needs to let us know what he wants and I won’t be drawn into a conversation with him, which is probably what he wants. He like the sound of his own voice and I am content just letting him sit here and burn.
He’s skinnier than the last time I saw him, cheeks shallow and eyes sunk, but he looks just as smug as ever, like he isn’t dying slowly.
“I see that you are admiring my new look. Impressive, wouldn’t you say. I’m sure your Alpha stand-ins are envious of the power that I possess and all that I will obtain when you are completely mine.”
I hear a huff behind me, but Mike doesn’t react so he either doesn’t hear it or is so full of himself he’s not going to give it his time. He thinks he’s in control, but he’s the one locked in the cage.
I take in an audible breath and roll my eyes, letting him know I am not impressed and he needs to get to his point. He clearly chose to light up in purple flames now to get our attention, he has is and will try to milk this a bask in it for as long as possible.
He stands slowly, his shackles
tugging on his arms since he is so much taller than me and they have him in my shackles. His eyes are closed like he is in thought while he does this. WHen he is fully upright his eyes open, looking straight at me and they are blazing the same color purple as the rest of his body. He opens his mouth but when he talks the voice that comes out is definitely not his voice.
“You are destined to be the queen and you will bring about the most powerful offspring for the mate that takes you. You will mate with
Micheal and unite with our family to supply the right DNA. We are coming for you. There is no stopping it, your pack will be decimated and we will enslave anyone that is left.” He takes a deep breath in and smiles a wicked, cruel smile. “I can sense that she is still unmated, which is perfect. Even deep down she knows that the Moon Goddess was wrong in her choice for mates. She is holding onto her innocence for us.” Mike tilts his head to the side, seeming to look behind me. “She is not tainted by your low, basic Alpha blood.”
There are growls surrounding me, but no one advances. They can’t, they are frozen in place by my wolf and I. No one knows the rage building inside me. It is a flowing current of lava and I’m sure smoke is probably steaming out of my nose and ears. They just threatened my mates, my pack and my bond. No one will take them from me. My muscles are quivering as I try to hold my wolf back, I won’t let her
shift… yet. We don’t know what
Adrielle can do and she is clearly
possessing Mike right now.
“Skylar.” Cam growls behind me.
***”You are not taking this douchebag on your own. Do you understand? We are not trying to stop you, but we are not going to let you do this alone.”*** He links my wolf and I.
***”They want me alive. They won’t hurt me and even if Adrielle is controlling him. He can’t fight for sh*t, there’s no way she can improve those skills. I am not letting him anywhere near you three or any of you. You are all obstacles to kill, not capture. I won’t let that happen.”***
