He growled and yanked on his chains, letting the fury take over for a few seconds before he took heaving breaths to calm down, the chains still unbroken.
“I’m about to chew my own fucking arm off to get this thing off,” Kai snarled, his anger getting the better of him, but I couldn’t even argue because I was almost at that point myself. I needed this heat to stop burning through my will and self-preservation instincts.
“Talk to me, beautiful. What are you going to do to the vampires once you get out of there?” Derik asked, and I knew he was distracting me, but it worked because the images were instant in my head.
“I’m going to make them hurt, ache, and bleed before I let my magic consume them.” I grinned, and Derik’s heat flared in the link. I groaned and leaned my head back. I closed my eyes, took deep breaths.
“And when those chains come off, how are you going to get out?” He asked, and that had my mind spinning. I hadn’t even thought of that. I needed to.
I had no idea what was waiting for me outside the cell door. There could be a waiting army, there could be empty halls. There could be no exit.
“I know the way out from the cells,” Kai grunted, still taking breaths as he clenched his eyes shut in time with his fists.
“And the guards?”
“That’s my part to deal with, beautiful. I’m sending a distraction in the form of a witch and a beast.”
I gasped at that.
“Can we trust her?” I asked.
“She’s staying in the cuffs; she can’t use her magic. And the beast knows he can’t kill her. Whether he does or not is where the trust comes in. But with the heat in the city and infecting the wolves, that is the only distraction I can send at the moment. The others are…busy,” Derik said, and I accepted that.
They would be in as much pain and pleasure as I was in. I could feel that in the link. Just.
“Are they suffering?”
“To an extent. They’re trying to sate the lust, but without us included in the heat, they won’t be able to, not until we are sated, beautiful. But don’t worry about us; just get out of there the second the shadows get you out of those cuffs,” he said.
I knew that was what I had to focus on, but finding the will to do that was hard. The second the cuffs were off, all I wanted to do was sink onto Kai’s cock and ride him until I could breathe and think properly. Then go home and do the same thing to Derik and Brax.
It was an excruciating want, one I couldn’t fulfill no matter how badly I wanted it.
“Those cuffs come off, Little Luna, and I need you to get out of this room, turn left; there’s a grate that drops into the sewers just under the window. I need you to get in there as fast as you can. Do you understand me?” Kai huffed, and I frowned.
“I’m not going without you,” I snapped, and he smirked.
“I’ll be right behind you. But your magic is going to escape you; it will surge back to wherever you send it, and I am going to feel it. I will shift, and I don’t want you in the room when I do because I will destroy it,” he warned.
I swallowed. I hadn’t considered that fact, but I didn’t want to leave him. It was painful to even think about, with the heat so strong in my veins already.
“Once my magic is out and I give it back to the pack, will they be okay?”
Derik cleared his throat and breathed hard, even in the link. His heat was flaring in him again, begging me to come back, to sate my mate, to put him out of his misery.
And I wanted to, so fucking bad.
“They will survive. And they’ll be able to turn; that will help until you can get here.
If we have to, we’ll have another ceremony for them so they are closer and easier to sate with the auras so connected in one room,” Brax said.
I nodded, unable to use my voice as my throat burned with the need that kept me so unhinged.
“Get the cuffs off, get out of the room, turn left, go down into the sewer, wait for Kai,” I muttered quickly, fixing it into my brain to concentrate on something other than the fire consuming me.
“We’re almost there, Spitfire,” Brax said, his connection in the link weakening.
“Brax?” I asked, not sure what that meant.
“I’m good, just haven’t pushed my shadows this far, and I’ve never used them during the heat. I didn’t plan for that,” he bit out, and my heart raced. Sweat prickled all over me again, and my head pounded.
He had to make it; he had to stay with Zale and Enzi–his shadows did anyway. I didn’t want them anywhere near the vamp castle with their shadows.
Panic settled in my stomach as I looked toward the door every few seconds.
“C’mon, Brax. You can do this. Please,” I begged, my voice turning desperate because that’s exactly what I was. I was too hot, my underwear sticking to my sickly sweaty skin that was marked by bruises, cuts, and burns.
The cell stunk of piss and rot; the air was stale, everything was hard and uncomfortable. Not to mention the way my body ached after being splayed against a wall with my arms out and shackled for days.
It was all too much. I needed out; I needed my alphas; I needed to feel my babies in my arms again. I was desperate for it all.
Tears welled in my eyes at the idea that I would never get out, that maybe Brax would pass out, maybe Derik’s distraction would fail in any of the multiple ways it could, maybe Kai would shift and lose control, going after the vamps instead of escaping. Maybe I would.
I had no idea, but I did know that it ran through my head like a stampede, making it throb and ache. I winced and tears fell as I tried to fight the shackles. I was so damn sick of being locked up.
I hated only having my magic to protect me; I hated having that power taken from me. I wanted out; I wanted–
“Keep pushing, beautiful. It’s helping,” Derik strained out, and I frowned, questioning him in the link.
“How is me despairing, helping?” I demanded, pissed that I had let my feelings get the better of me, wishing my hand was free so I could wipe the weakness from my cheeks.
“Brax can feel your need for him, so can the twins. They’re pushing harder, stronger for it. That need fuels them,” he explained, and I laughed cynically.
“Sure, cue mental breakdown mode then.” I rolled my eyes, about to sink into it when there was shouting and commotion on the other side of the door. I tensed, waiting for the vamps to storm in here and finally end us, but they didn’t.
“The beast and Adrenna are close to the castle. They think the pack is close because of it. They think it’s a distraction to get the pack in. We’re closing in on the castle now,” Brax urged, his voice determined as he kept going.
I tuned into his heartbeat, letting it soothe me, soothing it right back. He was coming for me. Derik was in my head, staying with me. Kai was here with me. We were together, as a family. It warmed the cold stone in my stomach that something was going to go wrong.
I was still waiting for the moment I was going to wake up and be back in the cell like my last nightmare, but that wouldn’t come until I had gotten out, so until that point, I had to trust in it. I had to believe in my alphas.
“That’s it, beautiful. Stay strong,” Derik said, and I held onto those words.
“Where are my words of wisdom, D? I’m here too, in case you had forgotten,” Kai teased through a crazed look, and I knew it would hit him hard when I got out of the cuffs. He was already flexing his muscles, stretching out his legs, ready for it.
“Don’t kill our mate. Get her out of there safely, and you can be the first one to claim her when you get back,” Derik offered, but that had Kai barking out a laugh.
“You think I’ll last until we get back? The second we are free of this castle, I will be inside her, but thanks for the thought.” Kai laughed, and I shook my head.
“As much as the heat is eating away at my sanity right now, I still have my babies to get back to, and I need them, so let’s just get out of here and then talk about which dick is getting inside me, hmm?” I said back, and they all went silent, but I felt the amusement from them all.
And then I felt them.
Brax. Zale. Enzi.
My heart rate picked up, and I narrowed my eyes on the door, waiting.
“I can feel you.” I let out on a breath, and Brax grinned.
“Almost there, Spitfire. The vamps can’t see our shadows,” Brax said, and I looked to Kai, who was smirking, a side smirk that made him look devilish. A far cry from the broken wolf of the last few days.
The heat bit into my skin, pain and desperation tugging at everything inside me.
“Hurry, Brax,” I urged.
Then his shadows were there. Zale and Enzi’s with him.
They were pouring in and covering my body in love, warmth, and affection. I absorbed it all, letting it heal the inner parts of my soul that Silas had started to hack at.
“I have to do this quick, I can’t hold it,” Brax bit out, his voice shaking with anger.
“Brax?” I asked, wondering why he had changed, but his rage was polluting me and the shadows he had twined with Zale and Enzi.
“You–you can’t see what I can, Spitfire. I don’t–I can’t see you like this while I’m so connected with the twins,” he bit out, each word sounding as hard to say as the last.
“Hurry then,” I urged, understanding what he meant. If I looked even half as bad as Kai, then I wouldn’t want that image in my kids’ or my mates’ head.
Brax was slipping, his shadows hissing and spilling the longer he moved over me. I felt the tension in them and waited anxiously for him to stretch them over my arms to the shackles.
“Ignore it; when these cuffs come off, I’ll heal. Kai can bite me. I’ll get strong again, don’t let it get to you.” I tried my best, but Brax was wavering in the link.
“Brax,” I warned, and he snarled.
“I’m going to kill him.”
