Chapter Thirteen

Ethar POV

How could I let this happen. So distracted by frivolous emotions and vanity of finally begging accept by the Goddess who cursed my entire fucking bloodline, I didn’t even notice something wasn’t right. I woke up hooked to some sort of machine pushing hemlock and wolfsbane though my body. Whoever held me captive had done their homework , not only did they block my magic but they immobilized Etgar for the time being. I looked at my surroundings searching for a weak point I could use to my advantage, but there wasn’t one . I just had to wait for a opportunity to present it self when all of a sudden one did.

“Do you know who I am Ethar.” The man’s voice was music to my ears , as soon as he gets close enough I will make my move, I needed to know she was okay. I needed to get back to my Mate and the first thing I’m going to do is Mark her. If we had marked each other already she would have been able to send someone to my location and free me..

“Should I” I ask taunting him , but I really had no clue who this guy was. But he was clearly mental for kidnapping me of all people.

“ Your mate has caused a little predicament. You see I’m here to collect two hunters that seem to be missing. Not dead, not in Hunters sleep as they should be. But just missing , care to explain to me why my investigation led me to you and their daughter?” He says walking back and forth in front of me as he speaks.

I let out a genuine laugh and he stops and looks at me. “ And you kidnapped me because you thought I would tell you something?. Okay who is really in charge here , because this has to be some sort of joke.” I tell him and I could feel the heat in the room rise as my words damaged his ego a little.

“ I am heading this investigation Alpha!” He snaps at me and takes a few steps closer.
“ You can’t use your Magic, and I’ve put your wolf to bed, you’re a sitting duck. I could get rid of you right now before your new Luna figured out what happened!” He continues now his face was was a few inches from mine.

I chucked and shook my head at the poor guy. “What’s your name kid.”

“General Arwin of the Jagter Chapter and I’m older then you boy.l” he tells me.

“ See Arwin of Jagter , this seems like a well thought out plan except one thing.” I taunt him as I was Getting ready to execute my plan. It was a dangerous one but unless Iliam bursts through that door right now with reinforcements, it was all I could think to do , to get back to her.

“What’s that Alpha?” He asks

“ Its that you underestimated the lengths I would go to get back to her , to protect her.” I tell him. His eyes grew wide with anger as I continued.

“You obviously have heard of me, and you know I am Tribrid, you suppressed my wolf with wolfsbane, and shut my magic down with the hemlock, when you were at the herb store did they run out of garlic.” I tell him chuckling at the old superstition about garlic hurting vampires.

He rolls his eyes obviously not aware of the danger he was in.

“To suppress that you would need a witch demon mutt.” I snap at him.

“I’m not worried your mother took care of that for me.” He says smiling.

“Until now.” I hiss at him. As the words left my lips my fangs protruded and I bit down hard at his jugular, letting his rancid blood fill my mouth as I suck his body dry of the demon blood In his veins. The taste was disgusting, but the energy I felt coursing through me was delicious. I wanted more and I need more. I felt the mark on my back fade as the spell broke it’s hold on me.

I pulled the chains that held me in the air, and they fell apart like they were made of plastic. The General’s lifeless body laid there and his eyes glazed over as I watched his soul leave him. It was a beautiful sight. I heard the door swing open and I was joyous as I grabbed the men one by one my fangs syphoned their essence now running through me. I wanted more , I needed more. As their energy became mine I began to feel my magic return pulsing though my finger tips. This feeling was amazing. All of a sudden I began to feel anger towards my mother for keeping this from me. All this time I have been fighting with one hand tied behind my back and for what this feeling was like none other. Energy , strength, desire, all wrapped into one. I never wanted this to go away. I wouldn’t let anyone take this from me again. I felt the pack link open up as Etgar was released from the grip of the wolfsbane but still not strong enough to make an appearance.

As I walked through the hallways of the facility one by one I dropped the soldiers to the ground after quenching this horrible thirst , I reach what I believed to be the ground floor I heard the most beautiful voice come through the mind-link.

“Are you alright my love, we’re are you?” She asked worry in her voice. My beautiful Luna, my Love, my Life. I suddenly was pulled from the carnage by her voice , and I could tell the thoughts and emotions from before were not my own but from the darkness that took over.

“I will explain when I get home. See you soon babe.” I tell her , and all of a sudden I was hit with lustful thoughts of everything I wanted to do to her when I got back.


Zion’s POV

Hearing his voice in my head was the relief we all needed. I had Iliam convey and alert the pack and our guest. So many lives lost during the surprise attack. County Loufy had his men hunting, they needed blood and we were already through our stock of blood bags that we had for our packs Vampire members.

Captain Tali had her pack retreat to the sea where their ships were docked. They couldn’t spend too long without being on the water, they would become sea sick but in reverse.

Captain Tali , Count Loufy , Alpah Aya of Blood Claw, Alpha Toto and Beta Francis , An Iliam and I were awaiting Alpha Ethar’s return in the war room. Alpha Johaness of Lunar Cross pack, Alpha Sebastian of SilverMoon Pack had also arrived this morning with reinforcements.

Iliam had explained what he could to the group about the foe were up against, The moon Goddess had no control over the Jagter Chapter, a demon race raised up from hell itself by the Hunter Legion were a force we knew nothing about except what I could find in my family’s grimoires. Ethar being the oldest Alpha to ever live had more information than anyone.

The war room was humming with discussion about future plans to attack them, some agreed we should retaliate immediately , others proposed we wait and rebuild our forces. I was new to all this and didn’t have the confidence or experience to give an opinion.

‘Meet me in the library with Iliam.’ Ethar tells me through the link, I relay the information to Iliam before excusing us both.

We reached the library and waited for Ethar to arrive. The space was massive with tons of old books and old scrolls Ethar had collected over the years. One wall was dedicated to an old painting of a beautiful black haired Gypsy. She wore beads in her curly locks of hair, her eyes were yellow and as bright as the sun and her skin was covered in what could only be Viking tribal tattoos . The markings covered every inch of her olive skin including her face.

“The beautiful Maud Alya.” Iliam explained as he stood next to me staring at the painting. Our gaze turned to the door that had been pushed opened.

‘Ethar what have you done.’ Mi says fear stricken as we watch the beast of a man walk through the threshold. He was covered in blood from head to toe, his clothes were tattered and his eyes flickered from black to blue as he got closer.

If anyone wasn’t afraid of the sight Ethar before , they surely would be now. Iliam walked towards him first with caution. Before embracing his brother , and Ethar returned the gesture with his own embrace. I grabbed both my mates as they hugged and pulled them in. I began to ugly cry as i was filled with emotion coming through both bonds , and remembering the fear I felt when I like I had lost them.

“I messed up guys, I messed up bad.” Ethar says stuttering as he began to cry as well.

“Whatever it is brother , we will get through it all of us. We will get through this I promise you.” Iliam says reassuring him.

“I love you Ethar, I love you both.” I tell them as we part from the hug and I dry my tears from my eyes.

“Go get him cleaned up I will alert the guest of his arrival.” Iliam says before pulling Ethars forehead to his.

“We got your back brother. Now and always.” Iliam tells him before leaving the room.

I cut the shower on , and remove Ethar’s shirt. He was distraught and ashamed of himself for what he had done , although his captors were the enemy , for Ethar not to have control as he ravaged them and broke the spell, to now being able to feel the pack bond , and feel the grief from the others over our fallen, it left him shaken, for lack of a better word. To see all powerful Ethar Natura like this was breaking my heart. I just wanted to hold him and let him sob into my arms all damn day. Ethar would never do that though. He kept his heart hard only showing sadness in small increments as he fought for control over his feelings.

Ethar sat on the counter and it felt like he hadn’t even noticed I had cut the shower on and was standing there waiting for him to get in. I removed my clothes and stepped in the shower hoping to draw his attention from his own mind. When he didn’t make a move I called out to him.

“My love, please join me.” I tell him. His head snapped up and in my direction like he noticed me for the first time.

I held out my hand and he took it stepping into the shower. He grabbed me by the waist and I wrapped my legs around him, and he sat us down on the shower bench. Now straddling him I grab the soap and lather in my hands before massaging my fingers through his scalp. His eyes shut as his head fell back enjoying the feeling. The water raining above us ran red with blood as it trickled down our body’s . When the suds disappeared I pulled his head down meet his eyes before kissing his lips. Unlike any of our previous kisses this one was gentle and soft and I could feel through the bond he was holding back , afraid he would hurt me. I pulled away and met his eyes.

“ You won’t hurt me.” I tell him , and I moved my hips back and forth on top of his lap and I felt his length grow beneath me.

He fists my hair before his lips crash into mine bruising at the impact. The dominance of the kiss nearly sending me into a frenzy as I felt the sparks of the bond radiating through me. I moan into the kiss as the sparks knot in my stomach. a low growl escapes his lips as they separated from mine. I sat up just a little before sliding back down hovering just above his erection. His lips go to my throat and nips at my marking spot as he thrust inside me little by little until I sitting on him completely. I moan at every thrust before I was now quivering on top of him. I felt the heat from his mouth on my throat as he held me still on top of him, his canines now latched on to my neck before I felt the pinch of them penetrate the skin, his tongue lapped up the blood as I feel them hit the bone. His essence flowing into me and the bond growing stronger before snapping into place. The feeling was exhilarating and I could feel his lustful emotions run into me. There was sadness and shame coursing through me and it made a tear slip from my eye as I just wanted to take it all away so he didn’t have to feel it.

He canines retreated back into his gums and I feel him lift me up before crashing me back down onto his erection over and over again until we both find release. When he pulled back his face was demon like but it didn’t scare me his once blue eyes were bright red and his veins moved beneath his skin. His fangs start coming out as he opened his mouth to make room for them. He shook his head trying to rid himself of the urge to feed . I grabbed his face holding his face to meet my gaze.

“Don’t be afraid.” I told him but he shook his head not wanting me to encourage it.

“What if I can’t stop.” He ask , I knew he didn’t want to hurt me but the marking process wouldn’t be complete until he fed on me now that he activated the vampire curse.

“You will I will help you.” I reassured him , I tilted my neck to the side and I caught a glimpse of his eyes go black , it was too late for me to react . I felt a sharp pain as his fangs pierce my jugular. First the feeling was pure ecstasy , until I could feel my body grow weak as he continued to drink from me. I placed my hand on the side of his face my finger touching his temple and I focused my energy. I could feel the darkness retreat as I pulled on it, and his fangs left my neck receding into his gums. His black eyes faded back to red as mine went dark. What I pulled from him was only a fraction of what was inside him but it was enough to pull Ethar back to the forefront.

My eyes fluttered as they came back into focus, “ I will never do that again Zi. I will not have you taint yourself with my curse.” He says panting.

I said nothing , I was not going to argue. It was dangerous the darkness he housed was too much for me, I couldn’t fathom having to carry such a burden. I kissed his lips before sliding off of him. We washed ourselves quickly and got dressed before returning to the war room.
