CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
The next morning after an amazing night with Connor, I decided to make the both of us breakfast. Eggs, bacon, biscuits, grits, toast and fresh squeezed orange juice was the perfect meal. After preparing the table in the dining room and setting the food out I decided to walk back up stairs to wake him up. It's only 9:30 a.m. but Connor can surely sleep through an earth quake and not know what was going on. I slowly opened the door to our room and seen him hugged onto a pillow, his bare back heaving up and down. The muscles on his back made me smile at the way he made me feel. I tippy toed to his side of the bed, not knowing why I was even tip-toeing. It wasn't like he was going to hear me. I sat next to where he lay and couldn't help to just watch him sleep. His light breathing was simple and he didn't snore. I shook him from the arm and he mumbled.
"Connor I made breakfast. Get up before it gets cold." I said and he turned his head the other way. I shook him again but still he slept. I let a breath of fustration out and shook him harder but still he didn't get up or even move. Damn he could sleep. I stood up from the bed,
"Alright, just get up when your ready." I said about to leave but he quickly grabbed me from behind and pulled me towards him. I now lay beneath him as he laid his head onto my chest, his body between my legs. Good thing I slipped into shorts.
"Can I just have you for breakfast." He asked with a sly voice. I couldn't help but giggle at his question.
"Get up before our food gets cold." I said and he didn't budge as I combed my fingers through his hair and he moaned at the action. He was warm and if I had the choice I'd stay like this forever but we had other duties to take care of.
"Connor!" I said demandingly and he grunted, "Alright!" he said, moving out between my legs and now sitting up. I sat up and kissed him on the cheek,
"See you down stairs." I said and he smiled as he walked into the bathroom. I made my way down the stairs and into the kitchen to poor the orange juice for the both of us. I looked at the set up of the table and was proud of how it was done. I was going to go upstairs to change but the doorbell rung and I ran to the door to open it but was surprised to see Maria standing in the doorway. She smiled at me but the smile seemed more fake then the gold wrist watch she was wearing.
"Morning Eryn. Is Connor awake?" she asked and I nodded,
"Morning Maria. He's upstairs in the bathroom. Would you like to come in?" I asked and she nodded, stepping in. I closed the door behind her and she walked into the living room. I walked into the living room behind her and watched as she sat down on the sofa,
"I just made breakfast. Your more then welcome to join us." I said and she shook her head,
"I'm good thanks." she said and I thought I sit and keep her company but the silence between us grew pretty quick. It felt as if the silence was longer then need be and thanks to Connor running down the stairs to save the awkward air between us.
"Morning Maria . . . What brings you here?" he asked Maria. Her face expression went from a smile to a blank expression,
"I was on the east end of the town and sniffed out rogue but maybe a good hour or so from where they left off from. I must have missed them after patrolling the east the first time." she said and Connor looked over at me then back at Maria,
"I'll contact Drayden to meet me at the east end of the town. You stay here with Eryn and I'll come back in a few." Connor said and kissing me on the forhead. I wanted to stop him and tell him to take me with him but this was pack duty and as much as I knew I was part of the pack I still wasn't comfortable about it. He gave me one last look and then was out of the door. I sat back down and looked down at my fingers intwined,
"Be careful!" I communicated with Connor. He replied with a smart reply and I ignored it. I then looked over to Maria, who was now staring at me. I looked away to something less awkward but she spoke up,
"How do you like being here?" she asked. I looked back at her and smiled, "I like it. I just have to get use to it really." I answered.
"Use to what?" she asked.
"Being here. It's been 4 months almost. I miss my uncle but I love Connor." I said and a small glare was daggered at me when I said I loved Connor. And then she smiled,
"You'll learn to adjust." she said and then she sighed,
"You know Connor and I have history in this house." she said suddenly. I scrunched my brows together but kept my cool,
"Oh!" I answered and then she looked around the house and then at me,
"I see why Connor favors you so much. Your beautiful and you've got spark." a smile crossed her face and I didn' know if that was a compliment or if she was trying to say something. I just nodded. Having conversations with her was sometimes shaky so nodding and agreeing was all I could do. This made her go quiet and I offered if she wanted to eat again. She declined so I walked into the dining area to clean up the mess and put the food away for left overs. Even though I was a bit hungry, my mind was on Connor. I just hoped it wasn't rogues or worse, Dante. I started to wash dishes when Maria walked into the kitchen area, looking around,
"Not much has changed here." she said now leaning onto the counter across the ways from me. I just smiled and finished the last of the dishes and dried my hands with a cloth left on the stove. There wasn't much to clean when there was only two people living in one big house. I could feel Maria's eyes on me but I managed to ignore the feeling as I made my way back into the living room but she followed behind. Her being here was making me a bit uncomfortable but I didn't show it as she sat across from me. She crossed her legs and folded her arms,
"So why didn't you use your sorceress powers that night?" she asked, catching me off guard with the question. I knew what night she was talking about but her bringing it up was very irritating.
"Why does it matter? Why do you even ask?" I shot back and she just smiled but something about the way she smiled put me on edge.
"Just wanted to know how your sorceress worked. From the looks of it, you don't have control over it!" the way she said it was reassuring as if she knew I couldn't control my powers but what did this have to do with the night I try to forget. I didn't say anything and she continued to talk,
"If you're this high and mighty sorceress that Connor claims you to be . . .You've got everyone fooled. Luna! Even being pulled out of the car by Angel, you couldn't handle." The last part had me staring at her suprisingly,
"How did you know I was pulled out of the car by Angel?" I asked and Maria's smile deepend,
"Why don't you ask Angel!" she said now staring in the back of me. I didn't want to turn around but my head slowly turned to now be staring up at Angel, the same blond woman who pulled me out of the car that night. The color in my face had gone,
"Hello doll face!" Angel smiled. I was already away from the couch where Angel stood behind. I watched terrified as she jumped over the couch and landing on it, laying down. What the hell was this? I didn't care to stick around as I ran towards the door of the house and opened it but was stopped when I came face to face with Andre. All I could think about was the way Caine was killed by the monster in front of me. Andrus smiled a half smile,
"We meet again babe!" he said and I backed up a few steps, my heart racing out of control and my fingers shaking from the terror of seeing the people I didn't want to see. I backed up until I backed up into someone and when I turned around, Dante stared down at me and the scream of terror exited my lips. My mouth was quickly covered from behind and I was then dragged into the living room where Maria and Angel were both seated on one couch. Andrus dragged me to the single recliner and sat me down as Dante walked over to me and bending down to my level. His green eyes stared into mine and I just glared at him,
"You arent frightened!" he said and I didn't answer him as lifted his hand and try to stroke my cheek but I hit his hand away with my hand and he stood up,
"You are what my brother prides the most. I wouldn't blame his taste, your beautiful and your powerful is what I'm hearing. Since you killed off Penelope, I knew you were special." he said and I let him talk but ignored him as I communicated with Connor.
"Connor!" I said but no reply. I tried again and yet, no reply. Why wasn't he answering? Dante noticed I was quiet and he looked over at me, walking back to where I sat and knelt down,
"Strange . . . I don't believe your listening but it's no big deal. The bottom line is were going to use you to lure out Connor and his buddies and then attack the town and then kill everyone else except Connor. Of course well leave you last to kill." a sly smile spread across his face and I glared at him,
"Why would you do this to your own brother?" I asked.
"It;s simple. He kept me alive but banished me from the pack. For four years I've lived in turmoil, not becuase of the death of my beloved but of my parents. It was hard, almost took my own life but instead, I sought out revenge for the one man who left me for a pack that didn't appreciate him as much as I did. I offered him to come with me but he declined the offer before sparing my life. Our brother hood didn;t mean anything to him so I want him to suffer just as much as I did."
"Your a monster!" I replied after I finished and was shocked when Angel back handed me from the side,
"You don't talk to him like that!" she growled and I let the sting cool down from my redden cheek. My sorceress was quiet and this was a good time to let her out because my anger wanted to rip the bitch a new one. I lifted my head to face Dante and stared at my cheek then looked at Angel,
"Lets not over do it with the beating." he said with some what of an authority voice but almost warning like. Angel looked down at him and went red with what seemed like anger,
"If I seem to over due it for you then have someone who won't do it at all." she said through gritted teeth. Dante then stood up,
"Now is not the time for emotions Angel." he responded and Angel clenched her hands into fists,
"Emotions? This is more then emotions. Every time I talk about her or even think about hitting her, which I won't dare to apologize for, you have to over step my authority."
"You have no authority. Your blood is Beta."
"My blood is now a rogue. If you haven't forgotten, there are no rules whe-" Dante didn't let her finish as he had his hand to her throat and her feet inches off the floor. I watched in horror and yet happiness as she gargled on her own saliva.
"Don't you dare cross me Angel because I will kill you next time you do!" Andrus looked away as if his sister hadn't just been threatened, choked and almost killed right in front of him. Maria didn't care what was happeneing. This was one screwed up little group. Dante finally let Angel go and she caught the breath she's been dying for, glared at both Dante and I and walked out of the room. Andrus followed and Dante looked back at me,
"And that's how you shut a womans yapping!" I couldn't help but not have no remorse for the blond bitch. I didn't like her and I too wanted her to shut up. He walked over to where Maria sat and I didn't even want to think about the traitor or why she did it. He set his arm around her and Maria cuddled in to it as I stared on. Not only was she a traitor, she was a total whore. She looked over at me with a smile,
"If I can't have Connor, I move on to the next best thing. His brother." She said and I glared at her as I asked,
"I hope Santana is rolling in her grave just watching what a total whore you've become." In seconds, Dante was at my throat now, my legs dangling from above, just like he did with Angel,
"You are not to mention her name ever again!" he said as I gargled for breath. He let me go and I fell to the ground, coughing but I started to laugh,
"You are so pathetic. Both of you. You might as well dig your own graves because once Connor finds out about you even touching me, he won't let you live this time." I said staring up at him and rubbing at my neck. He just looked down at me and smiled,
"Oh I plan on it!" he admitted and ordered Maria to pick me up and carry me out of the house and then contact Connor to lure him into a trap. She did just that but I hit her arm away when she tried to pick me up from the ground,
"Traitor!" I said and Maria just smiled as she waited for me to stand at my full height and then ordered me to follow Dante out of the house. I didn't move and she shoved me instead. I had no choice but to follow Dante out of the house and back through the opposite way of where the town was. I tried to contact Connor before Maria but still no luck. Why wasn't I able to contact him. I watched as Maria closed her eyes and from being use to seeing Connor and the other pack communicate, I knew she was talking to Connor. When she finished, she confirmed it with Dante.
"Great. Once he finds out that his precious mate is missing, we lure him away from the town and have Angel and Andrus attack. With Connor out of the way, the people have no chance against them. Once Connor meets up with me, I'll take care of the rest and you run back to the town to help Andrus and Angel." Dante said as Maria nodded. We came to a street opening out of the woods and acorss the ways was a Dodge truck about the same size as my uncles. I tried to pull away from Marias grip but she pushed me forward, her being stronger then me. Dante grabbed my arm and pulled me with ease across the street to his truck. He threw me in and Maria go inside after me. Just to be near her made me want to throw up. How could she betray Connor like this. She was family to him and to be with his slimy brother. What was her movtives? Revenge?
"Her motives are to get rid of you." I felt the chills crawl up my skin and looked over to Dante. He just read my mind or was it that he could hear me?
"Surprise? Don't be. Connor and I are blood so once he mated with you, it connected with me. Don't ask me how to explain it but I believe it has every ounce of your sorceress. She's stronger then I thought. But we can;t have that in this society. Don't worry, Connor won't be able to hear you while I'm listening in. I found that out the hard way." he said winking at me. What? Really this was really happening? This whole time he's been in my head. This was more then a nightmare. Now that he knew about me being able to communicate with the pack and listen in on them, how was I to warn them. He was going to kill them all.
