“To be honest, I was advised not to take part in this battle. I simply told the moon goddess that she shouldn’t have involved my family then. I can’t just sit by and watch.” My mother says.
We all chuckle as she hugs us all individually.
“So how were you able to get away?” Cj asks.
“Let’s just say I’m not a favorite up there right now so I’ll have to hide out here for some time. Hope you can all have me, after the battle that is.” She giggles.
“Mom? You’re staying for good?” Josey asks with excitement all over her face.
“That is the plan but let’s not celebrate just yet. I have another plan in mind but before we get to that, I need to have a word with your father and Deacon in private.” She says and the rest of us leave them in the office.
Max and his betas went to have a word with the warriors together with Cj. Josey and I ended up in the lounge, on our phones to check in on the life we almost had in the human world.
“Have you seen Percy since the hospital?” Josey asks me.
“No. Why do you ask?” I say to her.
“Well, you’ll have to turn him into a fighting machine too you know.” Josey says to me.
I forgot he was in the dungeons too. He would have to fight for us mind control or not. I stand up and look at Josey…
“Let’s go pay our friends a visit” I say. She gets up but stays rooted to the spot.
“Friends? Who else?” She asks.
“Ralyn. I’m going to turn her into a loyal wolf. Should be fun to watch when they attack. She is after all part of that family” I say and I start walking out of the living room.
We made our way to the dungeons. I started working on each prisoner, individually. There were about 40 prisoners here and I was done with 38 of them. Ralyn and Percy left.
I decide to leave Percy for last and I walk into Ralyn’s cell. She has her back to me when I walk in.
“I was wondering when you’d pay me a visit” she says turning around and flashing me her pearly whites.
“I’m here now.” I say to her. She walks up to me, still smiling.
“I see you got marked. Chosen mates aren’t so bad after all huh?” She says to me and Josey scoffs.
“I’m not complaining.” I say to her.
“Your family…. tell me about them.” I say to her and she chuckles.
“All I’ll say is, they are strong. If you are here asking about them means that they’re here already. Just know that you are being watched. They have people everywhere and they are camped somewhere close by” she says to me and I think about Cj setting up all those gadgets out there.
I quickly link him to not do it until I’m with him.
“Hoping they’ll save you? Josey asks and Ralyn smiles.
“Oh, I’m betting they will. I am family after all” she says to us. Josey and I look at each other.
“Well, I have this special power you see, that kind of lets me in your head and I take over in that cute little head of yours.” I say and she looks me confused.
“What I’m trying to say is I’m going to turn you into my little bitch” I say and she raises her eyebrows at me.
“What she means is, you’ll be her guard dog.” Josey chimes in.
“What?” Ralyn asks.
Isn’t she slow.
“I will use mind control to get you to do whatever I want. In this case, fight your family to the death.” I say and she steps back from me.
“How will you do that? Threaten me?” She asks dryly.
“No. I know you don’t have your voodoo strength so I’ll go easy on you.” I say and I grab her face and lock eyes with her. This was actually going to be something.
Getting into people’s heads was actually draining. People go through a lot and it really takes a toll on a wolf.
We walk out of her cell and walk to Percy’s.
“I think I’ll leave you now. Once he sees that on your neck, well, yeah, I’m out” Josey says and runs out of the dungeon.
I thought she lived for drama?!
I stop right in front of his cell and I see him sitting on his bed with his elbows resting on his thighs and his head in his hands.
“I lost you forever. I fucked up and now you have your scent mixed with his.” He says as he looks up at me. I walk into his cell.
“You gave him your virginity.” He says to me and I nod.
“You let him mark you” he says to me and I nod again.
“Did you at least mark him? Did your wolf let you?” He asks me and I nod again.
“I don’t need my wolf to mark my mate.” I say to him as I show him my canines.
“We didn’t have to shift to mark each other. He is a Lycan and I am well also a direct descendant of the moon I guess.” I speak.
“Do you love him?” He asks me.
“Yes” I say.
