His She Wolf Warrior, page 9
“Roxie? Roxie saved me?”
“Well, actually the spell saved you.”
Now Eli understood why he smelt and heard things so much better. “She turned me.”
“Yes. Now we’re back to being identical in every way.”
Eli gave Finn a broad smile before it quickly fell away. “Where’s Saskia?”
Finn shook his head. “I don’t know. Her brothers were trying to talk some sense into her, but I don’t think she listened. I heard her slam out of the house fifteen minutes or so ago.”
Eli felt a chill run down his spine. “She’s going after the one who stabbed me?”
“Yes.”
Swinging his legs over the side of the bed, Eli slowly got up. Much to his surprise, he didn’t feel nearly as weak as he should have considering the amount of blood he must have lost. Being a werewolf did have its benefits.
Finn moved to stand beside him. “Where are you going? You’re not fully recovered yet.”
He walked to the closed bedroom door and opened it. “I’m fine. I have to talk to Saskia’s brothers.”
As he walked out of the room and headed for the stairs, Eli caught the scent of dried blood. He looked down to find he still wore his blood-stained warm-up pants. He had no idea where his t-shirt had gone.
Taking the stairs two at a time, he followed the sound of voices once he reached the bottom. As he made his way through the house, Eli took in the large rooms and luxurious setting. He turned to Finn who walked at his side. “Whose house is this?”
“This is where Saskia and her brothers live.”
Eli wouldn’t have thought in a million years that Saskia’s six hulking warrior brothers would ever live in a house such as this. It seemed too refined for their taste. He went down one large hallway and stepped into a large sitting room. Eli stopped just inside the doorway as he took in the occupants of the room. His gaze landed on his father and two other brothers. Billie and Royce sat with Jocelyn close by them. His family seemed more than relieved to see him. Saskia’s brothers on the other hand seemed distracted to say the least. They stood together at one side of the room as they argued over who should go after Saskia.
With his voice raised so they could hear him, Eli said, “I’ll go after Saskia.”
They all turned in his direction. Skylar spoke first. “I don’t think that would be a good idea. You haven’t recovered your strength yet.”
His hands fisted at his sides. “I’m not mortal anymore, so stop coddling me as if I were. I won’t let Saskia face the bastard that stabbed me alone. I’m her mate. It’s my right to protect her.”
Jager snorted. “You better not say that in front of Saskia. She prides herself on her ability to take care of herself. She thinks she doesn’t need anyone to watch her back.”
Eli ground his teeth together. “That won’t stop me from going after her. Will you help me or not?”
Leif nodded. “We’ll help you. But first you need to learn how to go wolf before we go anywhere. Saskia will have our balls if you get hurt again.”
“Then I suggest we hurry up and get the lesson over with.”
Just as his other two siblings had been able to, Eli managed to make the change from man to wolf and back again as if he had been born to it. After he changed into the clothes Finn had thoughtfully brought for him, he felt ready to go kick some wolf butt. The wolf inside him howled, anxious to be reunited with his mate.
Chapter Ten
The trip back to the city took too long as far as Eli was concerned. Sitting in the SUV with Saskia’s brothers, he listened as they gave him pointers on how to fight while in wolf form. They also made him give them his word that he would not provoke a fight if they happened to run into any of the bad guys. At first, Eli thought they wanted it this way because he had only been newly turned, but he soon learned there was more to it than that. These werewolves would most likely fight with swords rather than in wolf form.
“Why with swords?” Eli asked Dirk.
“Because it’s Miles’ weapon of choice, as it is ours. It stands to reason Miles will train his recruits to fight that way. A sword can do more damage than anything we can inflict in wolf form.”
“Where are you guys from? The Dark Ages or something?”
Dirk smiled. “Well, yes, we are.”
“Royce and Beowulf are older than all of you, but I don’t see either of them swinging swords now. I know they did at one time, especially Beowulf.”
“That’s because most werewolves our age try to keep up with the times. We, on the other hand, knew we had to keep in practice if we were to protect the foretold one properly.”
“Okay, I get that, but why not use guns instead? They are a lot deadlier than swords.”
Jager scowled at Eli. “There is no honor in taking down your enemy from a distance when you can look him in the eye when you take his life.”
“Okaay,” Eli said. “Remind me never to piss you off, Jager.”
The others laughed. Up in the driver’s seat, Roan slowly pulled the SUV over to the side of the road. Eli looked out the window and saw they were in an older industrial area of the city. From what Saskia’s brothers had told him, Miles had set up a kind of headquarters inside one of the abandoned factories nearby. It also was the only place Saskia would have gone in search of Miles.
They all got out of the SUV. Eli followed the other men as they walked down the road to a building that stood a little away from where they had parked. He felt the tension inside him coil tighter. Now a werewolf, the separation and need he felt to be with Saskia hit him harder than it did as a mortal.
As they reached the abandoned factory, Eli looked around. The place looked deserted, but he knew that didn’t mean anything. They made their way to the back of the building. When they rounded the corner, Saskia’s brothers came to an abrupt halt. Eli tried to look past them to see what had made them stop, but they kept him behind them, shielding him from whatever was up ahead.
Leif turned his head slightly then said to Eli, “Go wolf. Now. Miles is here. He knows you were mortal. We don’t need him to find out you have been turned. In wolf form, neither he, nor the two lackeys he has with him, will recognize you.”
Eli quickly went wolf. From his earlier attempts at shifting, he knew he took on the form of a black wolf. Poking his wolf’s head between Jager and Kye, he spotted Miles and his men who stood a short distance away. What made his hackles rise was the sight of Saskia standing a foot away from Miles with her sword drawn. Eli looked from Miles to Saskia. They both had the same light, almost white, blonde hair. Even from this distance he could see the similarities in their features as well. He made a grumbling noise in the back of his throat. Could Miles and Saskia be related?
As if he had read his mind, Dirk said for his benefit, “They’re brother and sister. Miles is younger than Saskia by four years. Miles couldn’t stand the fact that Saskia had been chosen by their grandmother to be our leader over him. He has resented her since that day. It hurt Saskia far more than the rest of us when he turned on us and walked away.”
Walking as a group, they made their way closer to Saskia until they stood at her back. Miles’ gaze skimmed over Eli in his wolf form before he focused his attention onto the other men.
“I see your faithful lapdogs have arrived, sister. I’m not surprised.”
Eli growled and pulled back his upper lip when he saw the werewolf who had attacked him stood on Miles’ left. He and the werewolf locked gazes. Eli would have launched himself at him if Roan hadn’t reached back and taken hold of him by the scruff of his neck.
Miles chuckled. “I see you’ve added a new member to your group. Is he shy or do you like him to stay in wolf form so he can be your mascot?”
“Shut up, Miles,” Saskia snarled. “This is your final warning. You’ll stay the hell away from the foretold one. We won’t let you anywhere near her.”
“We shall see. This conversation is starting to bore me.”
“I’m not done saying what I came here to say.”
“Ah, let me guess. It has to do with your dead mate? Was he still alive when you found him?” Miles pointed to the werewolf that stood on his left side. “My friend here said he bled like a stuck pig.”
Saskia struck the werewolf responsible for hurting him. With a swing of her sword, his head went one way as his body collapsed on the ground. She then pointed the bloodstained sword at Miles.
He shook his finger at her as he backed away. “Now that wasn’t very nice.” He reached inside his jacket pocket and pulled out a small device that resembled a garage door opener. “As I said before, I’ve grown bored with this conversation. I hate to run, but time is of the essence.” With a smile, he pushed the single button on the device he held in his hand. “Things are going to get pretty hot around here in about sixty seconds.”
Miles and his man turned and went wolf as they took off at a run. Saskia and her brothers did the same as Eli ran at Saskia’s side, his black wolf to her white. They just managed to clear the abandon factory’s property when an explosion went off inside. The building instantly became engulfed in flames.
When they reached the SUV, they all shifted back to their human forms. Saskia quickly cut off her brothers before any of them could speak. “Go back to our place. Eli and I will be there shortly.”
Grabbing his hand, Saskia led him down another side street to where her motorcycle sat parked. Eli pulled her into his arms and hungrily kissed her. The need to be inside her right that instant just about took him over. If Saskia hadn’t pulled away when she did, he would have pushed her to the ground and taken her right there.
Saskia held her palm to his cheek. “Hold on. I need you too.”
“I don’t think I can make it back to your place. Let’s go to my apartment.”
Saskia nodded. “It should be safe now. Miles thinks you’re dead.”
Eli urged Saskia to get onto the bike as he climbed on behind her. “Right now Miles is the furthest thing from my mind.”
Saskia revved the motorcycle’s engine as Eli wrapped his arms around her waist.
Holding her tight against him, he shifted so her backside nestled against the hard bulge in his jeans. He barely paid attention to where they went as Saskia put the motorcycle in gear and pulled away from the curb. He had to concentrate on not coming as her bottom pressed harder against him with each bump the bike hit. By the time they reached the underground parking garage at his apartment, Eli’s cock threatened to burst the zipper of his jeans.
Once he had Saskia safely inside his apartment, Eli kicked the door shut behind them and locked the door. His lips came down on hers as he pulled her against his body. He backed her toward the living room as he tore at her clothes until he had her completely naked. Saskia moaned against his lips as she sucked his tongue into her mouth. She undid his jeans and wrapped her hand around his erect cock. Eli let her go only long enough to shuck his jeans. When he couldn’t take any more, he pulled her hand off his cock and yanked his shirt over his head. He would have taken her on the floor on her back, but Saskia turned and rubbed her bottom against him.
“I want the wolf to take me, Eli,” she said as she leaned her head back against his shoulder.
A growl slipped past his lips as he skimmed his hand along her breasts to her waist.
Holding her to him, he sank to his knees on the floor. His hand trailed lower until he reached her pussy. He moaned as he felt how wet and ready she was for him. Positioning Saskia on her hands and knees before him, Eli moved to kneel between her spread thighs.
With a firm grip on her hips, he sheathed himself with one stroke.
Unable to take things slow, Eli reared back and slammed into her. He rode her fast and hard. Saskia’s moans of pleasure made his cock harden even more as her strong inner walls squeezed down on his shaft. He couldn’t hold back his release as he pumped in and out of her. With a howl, he came deep inside her.
Even though he had climaxed, Eli found he hadn’t lost his erection. Pulling out of Saskia, he urged her onto her back as he came over her. Saskia smiled up at him as she took hold of his still hard cock and led it back to the opening of her body. “I guess the spell has given you all the attributes a male werewolf has.”
Eli sank into her as he hooked one of Saskia’s legs over his arm. “It would seem. Now let’s see how many times I can make you come.”
Pistoning his hips, Eli rocked into her. He didn’t stop until he pushed them both over the edge. The sounds of their moans as they climaxed filled the apartment. Eli propped himself up on his elbows as he brushed Saskia’s lips with his. Their bodies still joined together, he said, “I love you.”
She reached up and pushed his hair off his sweat-dampened forehead. “I love you too.”
“I guess we’re stuck with each other now.”
Saskia smiled. “I guess so, but I wouldn’t want to be stuck with anyone else.”
“Good, because it could be for a very, very long time.”
Eli pulled out of her and scooped her up in his arms. Heading for the bedroom, he intended to show his mate just how much of a male werewolf he had actually become.
