Chapter 21
I phased and Alex handed me clothes. Which I quickly changed into. A dark-haired woman stepped into view. Dane passed Katie to Alex, who looked like he was a bit in shock. The woman walked up to Dane and kissed him passionately. "Is that what I sense? She must have used dark magic to link me to Dane," I responded.
"Disgusting," Sasha said. "Can you smell her? She is a black witch."
I looked right at Alex. "Is Katie OK?"
Dane looked at me, "She is fine. Lana just knocked her and the other wolves in that house out so we could easily kidnap her."
"If you harmed anyone..." I started.
"What are you going to do? Use magic?" Lana said with a sickening grin. "I bond your magic from Dark Moon territory."
I tried to link Alex. To create fire. Nothing. "Sasha, did you know this could happen?"
"She must have used lots of dark magic. Not many would be able to stop your powers. Unless... She could be a member of the bloodline. That would make sense."
"Great." I thought. "Hopefully not a long-lost sister. Eww."
"Fillian. I am sorry." Alex began. "My father forced me to take you back. It is important to him. I didn't know Dane would use magic."
"Dane, your mate is in front of you and who is Lana, how did you meet?"
"Your father introduced us," Dane said. "And about her being my mate. I just want what is rightfully mine."
He walked slowly over to me and grabbed me under my chin. "I will have my fill of you. Soon." He back handed me. I couldn't fight as long as they had Katie and a witch.
"You have me. Let Katie go back to Violet Moon." I said, standing back up, spitting out blood.
"I can't," said Alex. "My dad said he would turn the pack against me and give it Dane if I did not bring you both back. I am to take Katie to my dad's, and you are to go with Dane."
"Alex please. If not for me, think of Katie." He looked down at the bundle in his arms. Looked up in anger and growled. "I am the Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack. I will do as I please. Dane, she is yours."
"Dane." Lana looked at him. "Why is she yours?"
Alex turned and walked away. I yelled "Alex please take care of her." I think I saw him pause, but then he was gone.
I snapped my attention back to Dane and Lana. "He didn't tell you. I used to be his mate. I rejected him."
"You are my mate. You cannot reject me, you are nothing. A low Omega who was, wolfless until recently." He said with another back hand which knocked me to my knees, but I got up quickly. Two weeks of food, training, and my wolf, I was much stronger. I could not show them until I had Katie.
"Mate! She was your mate." Lana looked at me. "You said she was a traitor and mutant and you brought her here to die."
"I lied." Dane was playing with fire. I could tell Lana was powerful.
"If you do not kill her, I will kill her myself." Lana went at me. But Dane grabbed her. "She is a black mark on my family. She is the reason we were treated like outcasts. Her father the mut and my aunt and their crazy plans."
This quipped my interest. "What plans? Are you my cousin?"
"Not by choice and not for long." She didn't escape Dane's grasp instead. She made a ball of fire that was aimed at me. She was so wrapped up in killing me she hadn't noticed Dane had shifted. He snapped her in two with ease and threw her to the ground.
"Finally, I hated kissing that witch. She also talked too much." Dane turned toward me. "It is just us now. She was so stupid to believe me enough that she told me your magic would be banned even if something were to happen to her in the fighting. So, no magic can be used."
"Sasha, do you think we are strong enough to take him if we shifted?"
"Maybe, but if we kill him what will happen to Katie?"
"I know. We have to do something."
"We will have to survive like we always did. Maybe if you play along enough it won't be too bad and we can gather some more information."
"I see you can speak to your wolf now. If only I knew how powerful you were going to be; our life may have been different. As it is... that was not the case. Adrian only told me lately to force Alex to get you back. He knows Alex didn't have the backbone to do what needed to be done."
"What is that?"
"Oh no. We are not going to talk. Not enough time. I need to get you to Adrian by 6 a.m." It was around 7 p.m. I would have 11 hours to survive.
He grabbed me by my hair and led me to the second floor of the pack house. I passed other pack members that I used to know. Everyone diverted their glances, not like anything had changed. Once in his room, he threw me on the floor and locked the door. "You want to know something nice about pack houses...soundproof rooms. Since I must give you over to Adrian tomorrow morning, I guess tonight is all I get to put you in your place."
Dane took his time beating me. I did not fight back, which apparently did the trick. He was frustrated and could not get turned on. When he stripped me, I just stood there as he undressed, staring at him with indifference.
His muscular body is doing nothing for me now, little to no mate pull at all left. He took his boxers off. I gave a slight giggle. Because of his large stature, he was limp and not at all like Vincent. This made him furious. I took the beating of my life all the way till the time he had to turn me over to Adrian.
"There you are my ungrateful niece. I see Dane has taken advantage of the night I allowed him to have." Alex and I looked at each other and back at Adrian.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
