Chapter 29 Cassidy had been drugged heavy with the sedatives the guards shot her with, but now that her wolf was merged with her body, mind and soul her body was already burning through all the tranquilizers with the increased healing ability of her blood.
She let out a soft whine when there was fingers stroking over the soft white fur of her for head, his fingers sending a warmth from where they touched.
Jame’s voice rose her from the daze and fogginess in her mind and his scent filled her nose.
Honey gold eyes opened to look up at James on the other side of the bars.
Earlier, she had caught his scent and had planned on taking him down.
She wanted revenge for what he had done to her in those chains.
Revenge for holding her and Jett hostage here and then ordering them to be starved to death.
All of that anger was thrown out the window right now as she gazed up at the green eyes that were so full of concern and worry.
They were eyes she could get lost in and she did for a moment, just looking up at him and not hearing the words he was saying.
“Cassidy…” James had whispered her name when she looked up at him.
She was beautiful as a wolf.
Silver and white strands of hair making up her fur in a color he had never seen before.
His hand slowly stroked over the top of her head and along the side of her cheek.
Every time his fingers ran through her fur, he could feel it.
The warmth of the bond that was growing rapidly between them.
For James, he would gue that his wolf was wrong.
This wasn’t his mate like his wolf thought by her scent.
She just was the product of his venom.
He had never turned someone before, never bit a human with the intent to turn them.
The thought that the female wasn’t his mate however, made his wolf growl within his head angrily.
“I’m sorry” He whispered the words to her as if they were a foreign language to him.
“I never meant for you to go hungry or be starved for your insolence” he said a bit coldly, steeling his mind to keep his wolf from taking over.
The beast side of him wanted to just free her and take her back with him to the pack house and lock her up in his room.
But that was not going to happen Cassidy had given Jame’s wrist a little lick, the contact sending pleasurable little chills where their bodies were connected as he pet her.
She tried to focus on his words and it was the tone that the man was using that made her alert.
Her wolf was absorbed in his scent, any and all anger she had towards him was gone.
She whimpered and struggled to roll herself upright so she was half laying and half sitting.
She wanted to talk to him, but there was no link between their wolves.
Only the awareness of what they were to each other.
Mates.
She wiggled closer to James, his other hand coming through the bars automatically to hold her head steady.
The touch made her shiver and her tail beat happily in a soft thump against the flooring of the kennel.
Yes.
Finally, she had found the one she was meant for.
After all the loss in her life from all of the rogues, she could feel relief and happiness bubbling up inside of her.
She was so happy for a few seconds, she could have forgiven the alpha of BlackStone for anything he had done to her in the past but with the words that came out of his mouth.
