Neah”Hey, it’s time.” Dane kisses my cheek as I stir.”Time for what?” I yawn”The trade.”I sit up, half confused because I had fallen asleep on Dane yet I was in our bedroom. And half confused by the fact I had only asked him last night to bring it forward. ‘It’s happening?’ Nyx’s voice rattles through my head”You’ve brought it forward? When did you agree that?””While you slept. You wanted it moved forward so that’s what we are doing. But there is a slight problem.””He’s not bringing Klaus, is he?” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the ꜰind_ηovel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.”I think he is, but Klaus has dropped off my radar again. I have been searching for the connection to him for the last thirty minutes. I just wanted to check in with him.” “You think Cooper blocked him again because he learned that Klaus could communicate with you?” I ask as I continue to yawn. “You don’t think he has killed him, do you?” He shakes his head, “Maybe Klaus has found something out and Cooper is stopping him from warning us.”I frown and get out of bed and start pulling off yesterday’s clothes. I was surprised Dane hadn’t stripped me. Maybe he had been tired too. Or he had been busy planning this. “So what do we do? We need this to go in our favour. Not his.” I mutter’And we get to kill him, right?’ Nyx asks’I don’t know yet.’ I tell her
Ads by PubFuture She rolls her eyes at me. Killing Cooper was all she wanted to do, but would he even get close enough so that could happen? My guess is that he is not stupid.”Nyx talking to you?” Dane asks.I nod. “She wants to know when we get to kill him.”Dane grabs my hand and pulls me flush him. His warm flesh pressing against my own. A hand settles against my throat, holding me in place as his lips mould against mine. I could feel his length hardening and it takes everything in his power to step away from me. “When this is done, I want you to myself.” He growls and disappears into the closet while I brush my teeth.He is dressed in a simple black tee and black jeans when he steps out. In his hands are a pile of clothes for me. His crimson eyes trail over my naked body and although he doesn’t say anything, his smile certainly does. I think he secretly enjoyed that I did things the opposite way around to him, because it means he gets to watch me for longer.Dane doesn’t speak as I dress, but he makes a point of turning the large chair in my direction and watching me.As I pull the sweatshirt on, I frown.”You don’t think we should take Samara out of the dungeons do you?” He asks.”I think we need to see that Cooper has brought Klaus first. That it’s not a trick.””I agree. Damien is already waiting at the dungeon for my signal.”‘He knows us so well.’ Nyx murmurs, almost annoyed that we had become predictable.’He can read our mind.’ I retort.She rolls her eyes at me as I push my feet into my boots”Ready?” He holds out a hand to me.We check on the twins before we go. Evrin had shifted back but he was wearing a nappy now. Dane squeezes my hand. “After I carried you to bed, I checked on them. He was back in Human form.” “We can’t leave them.” I mutter just as I hear footsteps coming up the stairs.Mallory appears carrying Luca. “And that is why I am here. Go bring Klaus home.”Dane and I walk across the grounds hand in hand. There is no one about, though the scents of wolves and Lycans are strong. I’m certain they are just hiding. Waiting for permission from Dane. We head down to the gates where Ryken is already on duty.”No sign.” He tells Dane.Dane looks at his watch and links me, ‘Four minutes.’I nod and don’t speak. Keeping my eyes on the road that leads to our gates. I had a clear view, I can see everything and with four minutes to go, Cooper should already be walking towards us.Two minutes and I hear rustling in the trees. Klaus is pushed forward. His wrists bound in chains but instead of deep green eyes, they are an almost greyish colour. Klaus moves like he is unable to coordinate his feet. Scuffing the ground and stumbling as he moves, almost like he was in some kind of trance. It reminded me of how Blair had described the nurses at the prison.Cooper steps out of the trees with puffed out cheeks. “Sorry, we almost didn’t make it. It was a lot harder to walk with this one than I was expecting.”
