” They still haven’t woken him ” Tanya screeched loudly. We had been brought out of the dusty cabin this morning and brought into the cabin that we had seen them going in and out of the previous day. She cast her glare towards me , I just stared steadily at her. She didn’t bother me. I have seen scarier women. She pointed to her i***t son , who was lying on a bed. ” WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS , I KNOW YOU KNOW SOMETHING. ” She shouted. I shrugged ” I don’t know anything or why they haven’t. I have been chained up here “. I brought my hands up and rattled the shackles that were on them for emphasis.

” Before you came here , you all had it planned out. How did they get a spell to protect themselves so quickly ? Why did your mate let you come here without his protection ? “she started, accusing one thing after another. ” My mate didn’t allow me to come here because I did it behind his back , he would never have allowed it. And there are experienced and talented magic users in that pack. Strong ones too. I don;t know why you think they wouldn’t act quickly to protect themselves. You think you’re safe because you’re here , on these lands. That you might be , but they won’t give up and they won’t stop. My mate won’t stop. That pack had something you and my mother lacked; family values. Don’t underestimate that. While you have me locked up here, they won’t do a thing to help you. That is their leverage. ” I nodded at their son on the bed. ” What I do know is Anthea has done this spell before on someone , it isn’t just a sleeping spell. She can kill him easily , stop his heart. So I wouldn’t do anything rash or stupid. She is fiercely protective of those she loves. ” I was taunting her by poking the bear , the way her eyes bulged told me that.

I laughed at her comical face, unable to help it. Harry stepped in front of my face and like a coward he lifted his hand and slapped me across the face with the back of it. My wolf started growling in my mind , but I kept him quiet. Slowly looking back up, I glared at him dead in the eyes. ” We will have our time with this man “, I promised my wolf. But I kept my mouth shut. As I stared at him , Harry stared back. But he was the one to look away and as he did I saw a flash of uncertainty crossed his face. He quickly covered up. ” Do not speak to us that way, girl. Your band of misfits are nothing to us , we have taken down bigger and better than them ” he snapped.

I rolled my eyes. ” You know I remember what you wanted from me and him all those years ago. It came to me. A distant conversation I had overheard. You were told we would create a child , a child to bring dark witches off the bottom of the magical food chain. I just want you to know now, I will never have a baby with him. Ever. No matter what you do , if you make me pregnant, I will replace a way to get rid of it. And I also happened to tell them that , after my parents died. I told my mate. So they know what you are wanting of me too. I thought I could come here and discuss this rationally with you. I am mated and will not carry another man’s child. And the fact you believed the telling of a seer if comical when everyone knew of their reputation. Are you really willing to risk everything over something that could have been a lie? Let us go , and leave us be. Promise to keep your deranged son away from me and we can forget all of this. You will go on with your lives and I will go on with mine ” I tried to reason with them , so what I pretended to come here for.

What they didn’t know was my family were on their way here. ” You saw what happened with Yianna and my parents , you say that you don’t loose well. You have seen we don’t either. This is stupidity on your behalf. Let us go. ” I said, looking at both of them who both looked to be fuming. Not used to someone talking up to them. ” I will figure out what you are up to Violet. Mark my words I know something is going off “, Tanya snapped before storming out of the cabin.

Harry stood studying me. ” What spell did she use ? “he grumped and I shrugged again. He slid his eyes across to Penny , his eyes ran up and down her with obvious interest. ” Get used to being here , your never leaving. When my son is awake you will be his problem to deal with. And, you, I can see you being very useful in many ways ” he leered. I felt Penny’s body tense beside me and could sense the anger rolling off of Ryken within her body. I have to give him credit though he managed to keep his mouth shut.

” Take these two back “, Harry snapped, before walking out.We were escorted back into the dusty cabin. I made sure the door was fully closed before I pulled Ryekn into the tiny bathroom and closed the door. ” They’re on their way “, I mouthed. ” How long ? “he mouthed back. I shrugged ” They are going to attempt talking to the dead witches , with the proof they have that dark witches were to blame. ” He didn’t look overly happy about it and neither was I. Not being out there with them was getting to me.

But at least this time I wasn’t trapped behind a spell or under the control of someone else. When this s**t hit the fan I was going to be fully kicking a*s. The door opened to the cabin and we both went still. ” Where are you two ? “came a gruff voice. Turning, I flushed the toilet and then we both walked out. The dark witch was eyeing us suspiciously. ” What girls go to the toilet all the time, plus with these on we both needed help ” I snapped at him, shaking the cuffs again.

He snarled in our direction and plonked the tray down that he was holding. ” We need some clean clothes , clean sheets. This place is disgusting ” Ryken snapped at the witch. ” If we are to be staying here indefinitely, should we get to at least make this place more comfortable? ” he snapped again. I was a little confused as to what he was doing. The dark witch was getting angsty. ” Are you listening or what ? Hello, has the darkness fully taken over and made you dumb ” the dark witch started snarling.

” You should be happy with what you have been given “, he snapped. ” Is it because your too scared to go ask ? Dark witches have no back bones. It’s why you are all at the bottom of magical food chain “, the dark wishes head tilted. ” You said why you are at the bottom , you are a dark witch too ” his eyes squinted. Then they widened ” Your not them ” he said. ” Bingo ” Ryken laughed and rushed forward when the dark witch went to run from the cabin. Ryken used his chain on the shackles and wrapped it around the dark witch’s neck. The dark witch started flaring about and making noise. Ryken was struggling with being in Penny’s body , so I ran over and helped Ryken with his task. Holding the dark witch still while the breath slowly left his boy.

” What did you do that for ? “I whispered harshly.Ryken grinned at me , from Penny’s face and pulled something off of the dark witch’s wrist. It was a bunch of keys ” This was the guy that slammed the shakcles on us. I saw him place the keys on his wrist. I figured they would still be there. If our mates are coming , I am not about to be locked up and not able to help them ” I laughed at him and his genius thought. He had made the witch angry by throwing him off, being so focused. ” What do we do with this body ? ” I asked and Ryken looked around and then nodded towards the bathroom.

We dragged him in and closed the door behind us. ” As soon as we get word of anything, these shackles come off and we are out of here ” Ryken whispered, shoving the key in his pocket. I mind linked Enzo for an update and he said they were here , not far away. And a group had gone to try and talk to the dead witches. Taking a deep breath, I went to the window and looked out , looking for any sign that they knew anyone was about to intrude on their land. Everyone was still walking around, seeming calm. ” All is calm here. So far no one has alerted you are here “, I told him. ” Good, hopefully this will all be over soon ” he said back. Ryken came to stand near me. My mate was close. It was weird, but it was like I could feel her near now. Feel her close by.
