He huffs and clicks his tongue.
“Good point,” he says, letting the door swing closed.
I am plunged into darkness X 4000 and roll my eyes before letting out a breath and pushing the door open.I sure as shit didn’t want to fall into the damn thing, and there was no light.
Carter gives me a crooked smile.
“There is no light,” I tell him, and he holds the door open.
“Yeah, I never rigged the solar panels on that thing.I hardly stayed out here long enough to warrant using it,” he tells me when I notice the solar panels on the cabin.
We appeared to be on some huge mountain, yet in the darkness, I could see nothing and the wind up here whistled and howled between the trees.
“Don’t fall in.The only bath you’ll find here is the stream,” he laughs, and I look down at the makeshift toilet.
“Can you at least turn away?” I ask him, and he does, keeping one hand on the door, the chain held in the other.
I squat over the damn thing and quickly pee, not wanting to touch it in case my ass developed tinea or gave me tetanus.
“Are you done?” he asks when I pull my panties up.
“Or do you want to suss out the woods a little so you know you can’t escape?”
“I’ll take your word for it,” I tell him as I step out, letting the door swing shut.
I followed him back to the cabin, wondering how far out of the city we were because I could see no lights, and I briefly wondered if Kalen and John’s tracker I swallowed had a maximum distance.
Stepping inside the cabin, the air was a little warmer thanks to the fireplace.
Carter moved toward the bed and locked the chain around the foot of the bed.I sit on the edge watching as he undresses, removing his shirt and moving toward the small kitchenette in only his jeans.
“Are you hungry?” he asked, and I nodded, watching him and looking around the small space.
A round table sat off to the side; some stumps were for chairs.
A bearskin rug sat on the floor beside the fireplace, and above it was a set of huge antlers.
It reminded me a little of a hunter’s cabin.
There were even a few taxidermy pieces.
One was an owl.
“You hunt?” I ask him, wondering if there were any guns kept here.
He shrugs, not bothering to answer as he grabbed a steel camping kettle and filled it with bottled water from a box on the floor.He sets it on a hook inside the fireplace.
“How did we get here?I didn’t see your car or the road.” I asked him.
“I carried you.I had this place set up already.I was never staying in the city,” he tells me.
“So you didn’t want to take over the city?”I ask him.
“No, that was my father’s plan.I have no future there, and he won’t forgive me for killing my sister.We tolerate each other nothing more and nothing less.” he states.
“You killed her?” I asked, a little shocked.
“I put her out of her misery.That is no life for anyone.Lying in a bed covered in bedsores, being pumped full of drugs, and a tube breathing for you is cruelty, not a life.My father would have let her rot like that, so yes, I killed her,” he says while stoking the fire.
“I have packet noodles, not much fresh stuff, mostly canned food.It isn’t much, but I will get more supplies tomorrow, or I can go hunt something if you like?” he says.
I shake my head.
“No, noodles are fine,” I tell him when he hands me the water bottle, and I gulp the liquid down rather thirsty.
Craning my neck back, I hiss and choke a little at the stinging sensation in my neck from his mark.
My hand went to it when he was suddenly in front of me.
I flinched at his fast movement, not expecting it, and his hand was sweeping mine away as he gripped my chin, turning my head away to examine it.
“It’s just my venom.It will probably be a little tender,” he says, dipping his head before I feel his breath sweep over my skin, making it tingle before he runs his tongue over it, making my entire body shudder as the bond flared to life.
He chuckles, pulling back.
“I was afraid the bond wouldn’t have the same effects, but I am glad it does.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
My neck was now burning fiercely developing its own pulsing throb.
“You didn’t hear the rumors?” he asks, moving back to the fire: he grabs a tea moving back to the fire; he grabs a tea towel and pulls the camping kettle from the fire.
“I was bitten years ago by my mother and attacked by the other forsaken, nearly killing me.My father spent years getting me treatment to lessen the effects.It prevented me from becoming crazed like the others, but I developed the venom glands still.I wasn’t sure if marking you would kill you, though I am glad to see the marking gives you some form of immunity,” Carter tells me.
Yet what does that mean when we kill him?
Assuming Kalen and John can actually find me out here.
“How far are we from the city?” I ask changing the subject.
“Four hours, roughly,” Carter tells me, pouring the hot water into a saucepan and dropping the dried noodles in it.
I try not to let that bother me.
Information is vital and right now I need to bido my vital, and right now, I need to bide my time.I just hoped that tracker, would lead them to me.

“Can you try mum again?” she asks, pulling a stool from the counter and climbing up on it.
I glanced at Marcus, who chewed his lip before I smile and nod to her.
“Of course, sweety,” I tell her, about to retrieve m y phone when Marcus slides his to me.
“Have you notified Valen?” I mind linked him, and I see him nod out of the corner of my eyes as I dial her number.
