  Chapter Seven

  “The body was dropped a mile from the station, in the middle of the damn highway. I thought you said you took care of this?” Agent Brag snapped and ran his hand through his hair.

  “I should have said something last night, but I was so tired and couldn’t believe what happened I totally forget. Stupid.” Cheyenne shook her head and glanced at him. “There are three others. They are the most dangerous, and they will not stop to get at my daughter. They do not care who they kill and they will let no one stand in their way. I almost think they have others helping them, other than the group that you took care of last night, but I haven’t seen or heard anything to confirm it. They kept me locked up, for their… the only time those three joined the group was to feed off me and well, you know.”

  He reached over and squeezed her shoulder, his gaze met Emily’s. “Are you going to be okay with the ceremony tonight? I want the ceremony done tonight. I don’t want to wait.”

  She smiled, but it didn’t reach her eyes. Her gaze flicked to his crotch. “That hard, and you can’t wait?” Everyone in the room laughed and she nodded. “It’s not my ideal situation, but I’ll handle it. I know we need to talk about it, but if there is no family for the children, I’d like them here with us. If that is okay with you? It’s my fault their mom is dead.” She glanced down at her lap, tears rolled down her cheek.

  “We’ll bring them here and protect them. The shopping will have to wait.” Baas lifted her up off her seat and took her place with her in his lap.

  “We’ll find the kids.” Sam came back into the room, followed by three of his guards.

  “We have three dead men, and the last two are barely alive. We have a search going on, but there is hope. Your snowmobile is missing. We’re tracking it now.” Sam slammed his fist against the wall.

  “Do you want me to notify the men’s families?” Sam asked as he looked down to see Emily’s hand on his arm. She took his hand and wrapped a dish towel around it.

  “I should do it; it’s my fault they’re dead.” Her voice was just a whisper.

  “No. You did nothing wrong, these men would have just picked someone else out.” Sam leaned down and kissed her lips. “I want you to stay in this house ’til the ceremony tonight.”

  “I heard you were having trouble. I hope you don’t mind some extra help,” his friend Jaeger said stepping into the kitchen.

  “You made good time my friend. Maybe you’ll be able to help catch the last three.” He walked over to Jaeger and then Mitchel his hand held out, but not before he gently eased Emily to his side.

  He slid his arm around her. “Emily, this is Mitchel and Jaeger. They’ll be taking care of your mom.”

  Emily lifted her hand and each of his friends kissed her palm. Jaeger held her hand a little longer and smelled her wrist again. “Shit. I know why they want her so bad.”

  His gaze flicked to her mother. “You are her mother?”

  “Cheyenne Gordon,” he said and held his other hand out for Cheyenne who took it without hesitation.

  “May I?” Jaeger held out his hand waiting for Cheyenne’s. She placed her hand into his. He kissed her hand first and smiled before he brought her wrist to his nose. He took a deep breath and he could have sworn a spark flashed between Cheyenne and Jaeger.

  Baas lifted his eyebrows when his friend pulled Cheyenne next to his body, placing her between himself and his friend Mitchel. His arm wrapped around her waist in a protective manner. “Explain.”

  Out of the corner of his eye Baas watched as Mitchel repeated what Jaeger did, but when his gaze met his, red eyes met his.

  Emily reached over to grab onto her mom, but Mitchel snarled at her.

  She gasped and yanked her hand back. “Baas? Did I do something wrong?”

  Cheyenne’s mother rounded on Mitchel, her hand smacked his chest. “Listen bud, I don’t care if you are here to help me or not. You don’t snap at my daughter. I’ll rip your head off,” Cheyenne tore into him not caring who he was.

  “I have to agree with my soon to be mother-in-law. This is my house, and you come in here and snarl at my mate? You have two seconds to explain, before I rip your damn head off,” Baas pushed Emily behind him at the same time he latched onto Cheyenne and yanked her away from the vampires and behind him before anyone moved.

  Abe and Zack stood near the woman, at alert. A vampire with red eyes was a very dangerous thing.

  Jaeger grabbed onto Mitchel as he tried to lunge forward. “Calm down. They don’t know, and you’re not helping things right now,” he yelled before he shook Mitchel and bit down on the man’s neck. At once Mitchel calmed.

  Cautious Jaeger released Mitchel’s neck, but held onto his lover. “I’m sorry Baas.” He stroked Mitchel’s arm.

  “We have a very delicate position here. Your mate carries a very rare substance in her blood. This compound would allow any vampire to have children. Her mother has this also, but hers isn’t as pronounce as her daughters. From what I’ve been told, once a mate is in close proximity, the substance in the blood releases a hormone. How long has your mate been in this area?”

  He looked back at Emily who shrugged. “About ten years.”

  Jaeger nodded. “That is when the scent would start to produce the hormone drawing vampires here. It will stop as soon as she is mated, but until then she is free for the taking. At least that is what a vampire would think. When you first came upon Emily, what happened?”

  “That is none of your business,” Baas snarled. “And no vampire is getting our mate.”

  “Baas, I’m asking because right now, Mitchel and I want to claim Emily’s mother. She’s likely our mate, but we want to make sure. I need to make sure that she is our mate and that it’s not this thing in their blood. I have this, it’s hard to describe, like an electrical charge going through me. I’ve never experienced it before. Mitchel has it also.”

  He glanced back at Emily who held onto his shirt and rubbed her face on his back. “Come here Emily, tell me something. When we first met yesterday did you feel something, anything?”

  She spooned herself against his side and smiled up at him. “Well, when you touched me it was if an electrical shock went through me and I couldn’t breathe right, why?

  “Cheyenne?” He glanced back at her and she frowned.

  “No, this can’t be right, I’m too old and I could never…” She shook her head. “I’m sorry there has to be a mistake.”

  Mitchel held out his hand. “There is no mistake and you are a not too old. I’m 340 years old. Come with us, let us explain.”

  “Baas?” Emily patted his stomach and drew his attention.

  “It seems my friends think it likely that they are your mother’s mates. I have a feeling the fates kept you safe for us. I’m just sorry we couldn’t have helped your mother sooner.”

  Cheyenne placed her hand into Mitchel’s, but glanced at him. “I would have given my life for my daughter. I still would. We’ve been through so much together.” She lifted her chin and dared either of the male vampires to say a word.

  Careful not to scare Cheyenne, Mitchel placed Cheyenne between him and Jaeger. “We’ll take this slow; there is no rush. What is important to you is important to us also. I’m sorry I scared you earlier.” He nodded to Emily, but his gaze swung back to Cheyenne.

  Jaeger looked up at Emily. “The three will not wait. They will come for her before your ceremony. They won’t let you to mate her. I have a feeling that is why they attacked that woman; a warning, telling you that nothing is going to stop them.” His gaze shifted to his.

  “My suggestion, we stay right here and do nothing. They’ll come to us, and we have a surprise for them. Us.”

  “Then we should call in our men.” Agent Mathews snapped open his phone drawing his attention.

  “No. It’s too dangerous for your men to be here. They could kill you before your men even knew they were there. Please let us take care of this. They have already killed my pack,
those under my protection and that alone is a death sentence.” Baas held the agents gaze.

  Agent Mathews nodded. “You have until tomorrow. If they are not wiped out, we call out the hunters.”

  Mitchel hissed, “You would call those murders.”

  The agent made his way to the door. “I haven’t had to use them in a while, but if you can’t handle this situation I won’t hesitate to call them. To many have gone missing and people are starting to ask questions. We are trying to honor your wishes and not inform the public about your kind, but we can’t do that with psycho’s going around killing people.”

  Both men left, without another word. “Well let’s hope this is over tonight. Mom, why don’t we go upstairs and talk, while we can? I’m sure the men have things to organize. Baas?”

  Emily carefully held out her hand to her mother and he held his breath, but Mitchel nodded and leaned down to kiss her mother’s cheek. “Go ahead. She is right, tomorrow we will have to leave. We’ll come back soon I promise.”

  “What do you need sweetie?” Baas handed both ladies their cups of coffee which were now freshly filled.

  “Could you have someone bring the children’s things here? I don’t want them to have to go back to that place. And we’re going to need more food.” She stood by the door which lead to the living room and turned to him.

  “We’ll have to do some kind of shopping tomorrow, these kids and Rose Ann’s need something to take their minds off of what has happened. I know what it feels like to lose your mother.” She glanced at hers and smiled.

  “It will be done. Now go enjoy your talk, but Sam will be up there in an hour.”

  Her neck started to turn a dull pink and the color seemed to spread to her cheeks as she squirmed before she turned to leave. She mumbled to herself, but he had heard her as did everyone in the room. “Stupid butt plugs.”

  * * *

  “They heard me, didn’t they,” Emily grinned over her shoulder at her mom as they sat in the den before the large fireplace.

  “Yep, you are going to have to learn that wolves and vampires have excellent hearing and senses of smell.” Her mother sat forward and took her hands into hers. “Tell me, where did you go after that scene with your father?”

  For the next two hours Emily gave her mother the rundown on her life and how she used the money that had been left to her. “I hope you don’t mind that I did that. You can have the money back now if you need it.”

  Her mother shook her head. “No, I have plenty of money. Keep doing what you’re doing and I think a trust fund set up for your boss’ kids would be a great thing to do. I’d like to help with that also, and with the three little ones that you’ll be raising, if they find them. Not even your father knew of the money my family left me. I kept at least that much from him. Don’t get me wrong I loved your father at first, but something always kept me from telling him everything and I’m glad I didn’t.”

  “Excuse me ladies, but Emily you are needed upstairs and Cheyenne, I think you should feed, in case something happens. You’ll need your strength,” Baas said and stepped aside. Jaeger stepped into the room as Emily was leaving.

  “Mom?” She glanced over her shoulder, but Baas pushed her forward.

  “Go on, she’ll be fine. However, you are late and Sam has been waiting now for ten minutes.” Baas grinned and she stuck her tongue out at him trying to dash for the stairs, but the stupid butt plug in her ass slowed her movements.

  He caught her on the steps and pushed her back against the wall. “Do you know what I could make you do with that cute tongue?” he snarled and rubbed his hard cock against her.

  “I can’t wait to be buried in your sweet pussy, to show the world you are ours and only ours.” He bit down on the tendon of her neck.

  She whimpered, her jeans dampened. “Baas.”

  “Go. Sam will relieve you of your ache one more time. When you are done we’ll eat lunch.” He released her and swatted her ass as she turned to flee up the stairs.

  “Tell Sam to spank you,” Baas ordered and laughed when she stopped at the top of the stairs. “Yes, I can read every word, and I can smell your heat.”

  Absolutely mortified, Emily stepped into the bedroom and jumped when Sam slammed the door behind her and captured her from behind. “So what was it I’m supposed to do to you?”

  He rubbed his hand up and down her ass cheek, while his other one cupped her breast.

  “Mmm, spank,” she mumbled.

  “Strip,” Sam ordered and stepped away from her.

  She grumbled about bossy men and started to unzip when she saw the huge wet spot on the crotch of the borrowed pants. “I’m going to have to buy a new pair of jeans for this lady, damn.”

  “Those are yours to keep; they were given to you. Now the sweater, I want you completely naked. Whenever we are in our bedroom, there will be no clothes unless there are children afoot.” He nodded to the middle of the bed.

  “On your hands and knees, shoulders down,” Sam’s voice dropped down, her nipples hardened and her legs trembled.

  “What is it with these guys? I swear all they have to do is use that voice and I’m a pile of goo.” She mumbled and climbed onto the bed.

  Sam climbed onto the bed behind her and rubbed his hand over her butt. “You’re a natural submissive. You respond to us, because we are your alpha and your mates. I can see your juices on your leg.”

  He twisted the butt plug in her and she grabbed onto the bedspread. “Yes, Baas was right, you need a nice spanking to help you.”

  Before she could say anything, his hand came down on her ass. Anything she had planned on saying was gone in the wind. Three more smacks, and in between each smack he pulled out the butt plug to only push it back into her.

  “Look at that little hole stretching to take this. It’s time for the new one. You’re wet enough for it.” Sam slipped out the butt plug and she moaned.

  “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you, but first let’s get this in you.” Sam promised, but his words were a blur, her heart beat fast, her butt burned, but in a good way.

  Very slow, Sam worked the new lubed butt plug into her ass. This one had to be twice as wide, and it burned going in. “Shit, it burns.”

  “You’re doing well. Just a little bit more,” he said and pushed the thing all the way inside of her. “This one is very close to our size, but we are still larger. You’ll do fine though. I love seeing your butt all red.”

  She glanced back at him to see his hand come down once again on her butt, but also on the top of the butt plug. “Sam!” She screamed and tried to scurry up the bed, but he wrapped his other hand around her waist and held her.

  “No, you will you stay right where you are.” He had begun to spank her much faster. His hard strokes landed on her ass, the back of her thighs and even on her pussy lips.

  There were no words. Tears rolled down her face and sweat covered her body. She didn’t know what she wanted, but was so close to something.

  Two fingers plunged into her pussy at the same time the butt plug was pulled partially out of her and pushed back into her. “Come!” Baas ordered from behind her.

  She didn’t yell or scream. Emily couldn’t. All the air left her in one whoosh, her body exploded and she fell to the bed.

  Chapter Eight

  Sam picked Emily up and held her as she cried in his arms. His cock once more pushing against his jeans, but he couldn’t stay away, none of them could. All three of them had stood back and watched Sam work her body to the point where she would reach her subspace.

  Each time, they brought her closer and closer to what they needed for tonight. Yes, she was a true submissive and tonight Emily would demonstrate that in front of everyone.

  She tensed and sniffed the air, but her words had all of them growling. “They’re here, I can smell them,” she whispered and curled up tighter against Sam.

  She fought within herself to be strong when her gaze flashed to Baas. Emily crawled out o
f Sam’s arms. “What do you want me to do?”

  Reaching for her jeans, she jumped into them muttering again about the butt plug. “You know this would be easier if that thing was taken out of my ass. She snatched her sweater off the floor and slipped it over her head.

  “There is no reason to take it out. You will stay here in this room. You are not to leave it no matter what. If I see your butt out of this room before I give the all clear, I’ll tan your hide in front of the whole pack,” Baas snarled and opened the door for Cheyenne.

  “Jaeger waits for you down stairs.” She rolled her eyes. “He’s ordered me up here.”

  “Join the club. Mr. alpha dog has informed me if I breech these coordinates I will spanked in front of the whole pack.” Emily stopped her gaze met his before he left.

  He smiled. “You’re excited. I can smell you. We will explore this later, now stay.”

  Abe locked the door behind him; he had left Zack in the room with the ladies. He wasn’t stupid enough to leave their mate alone in the room without protection. Three of his enforcers stood next to the door. “No one.” Was all he needed to say.

  He stepped off the bottom stairs when he heard the glass break upstairs. His heart stopped as he whipped around and jumped up the stairs three at a time. Men behind him, but he didn’t care or notice.

  They should have been ready for this, but they hadn’t believed the enemy could get to the women. They were wrong. He pushed through the door, just in time to see one of the vampires grab Emily around the throat. Her mother clung to his back.

  The vampire spun towards Baas as his fangs lengthen, but the alpha didn’t give him time and charged him. Jaeger grabbed Cheyenne from off the vamps back and sank his clawed hand into its side, pulling him away from her. “No one touches what is ours.”

  So busy with gutting the vampires in their hands, they didn’t see the third one come and snatch Emily up, before she screamed as she grabbed onto the window frame trying to stay in the house. The vampire behind her sank his fangs in her neck and she screamed again releasing the window frame.
