Untamed - Book 1
Chapter 27

“Remind me to never piss you off.” I turn to the deep, soothing voice, allowing my eyes to meet his.

“Looks like we have a common enemy. Danny is not going to be happy about being used in the Laurent’s little game.” He shakes his head and runs a hand through his hair.

“No, he won’t. So, are you going to give up on your plans to make this a solo mission?” I smile weakly and let out a defeated sigh.

“Darius said the witch’s council gave Laurent my brother to use him as bait. I was meant to be Laurent’s prize, but there is more resting on this than just me and Luca. All those families he has torn apart, we can’t let him get away with it. Darius is on standby. He and his people will be helping us to get them back, all of them.” He grabs my hand in his, the sparking energy igniting the fire in my veins, only this time it is not controlled by rage, but something much stronger.

“I will be with you every step of the way.” He smiles and his eyes drift down to stare out our hands, his smile growing wider.

“I have a few people I can call on to help us. I have a feeling we are going to need all the help we can get. Would you be willing to allow them on pack lands?” He pulls me into his arms and holds me tightly to him.

“We will do whatever you need.” I step back and take a deep breath, wondering if he fully grasps what he is signing his people up for.

“Alpha, I am about to declare war on the council. Not just the witch’s council, but the were council as well. Are you sure you are prepared to risk your pack’s safety?” He holds one of my hands in his and raises the other to my cheek, gently stroking it with his thumb.

“I would fallow you into the depths of hell with a smile on my face. There is nowhere you would go that I would not follow.” I feel the warmth and comfort of his words and a sudden surge of energy passes between us, causing my beast to stir, though it is not from anger. My beast steps forward, peering into the eyes of the alpha and utters the word that both frees me and confines me.

‘Mate.’
