Page 41 of Marked for Desecration

Trying to catch my breath, I wracked my brain about who he was talking about. Which one?

I laughed internally at the absurdity of my answer.Fuck, I was a ho.

“He’s the only one you ever lusted for, and it kills me… It kills me the way I want to kill him. He will be eliminated. My existence cannot be drawn into light, not now, not when the pieces are finally falling into place.”

I looked around the room and cased the exit points. One of them had to lead me out. It was a fifty-fifty chance.

Landon prowled toward me. “You have no idea, do you?”

“To be honest, Landon, I’m coming to find I don’t know a lot of things.”

Landon disappeared and reappeared over me, his body caging mine against the ground. I'd played demure long enough. Quickly turning, I scratched his face and brought both my feet up to kick him off me. He was caught by surprise and his center of gravity changed and he toppled to the side. I got to my hands and feet, leaped onto the table that still housed Jordan's corpse, almost slipping.

Twisting my head left and right, I had to judge my distance correctly. The exit to the left was a few feet closer. I lept again but was tackled into the wall by a heavy brick of a body.

I threw an elbow and his face crunched, but it didn’t deter him. He growled right before he bit into my upper arm and pulled my blood into his mouth. I hissed as he groaned, his crotch undulating against my side, grinding his large, hard cock against me like a weapon.

I jerked my hip to the side and slammed into his dick, making him howl and fall back. Pouncing, I clasped both my fists together and brought them down on his face again and again with all my strength. I screamed as his hands clawed through my dress and into my flesh, slicing it open.

He flipped us and I was caught in a submission hold. We both breathed hard against one another.

“I’ve never met a Letos woman like you. You make me burn.”

Fucking asshole is trying to seduce me with his stupid words when he was just trying to eat me earlier.

I struggled and we grappled. I landed a knee against his abs, but he growled and pinned me down further. The blood that coated my arm gave me the advantage of slipping out of his grasp, grabbing the closest solid object and stabbing it into his deformed ear.

He howled like the wolves William used to control. I didn’t wait to see if he recovered. I darted and ran out of the tunnels with my wet weapon firmly in my grip.

The sound of his footsteps stomping behind me made adrenaline course through my body, helping to enhance my senses and abilities. Each fork I ran across, I took. Each subsequent fork, I chose the opposite direction. Landon plowed against one of the walls, shaking the tunnel and dusting us both with debris as he got on all fours and began hunting like a wild beast.

One of the torches flickered with a breeze and I knew where I should head.

I forced my legs to move faster and so did Landon. His breathing was labored, coming out in grunts and growls.

Suddenly, an opening appeared, and light filtered through. I felt Landon’s claws graze my ankle right as I jumped against the side of the wall and right out into the blazing sunlight.

ChapterEleven

Valka

Irolled the moment I hit the ground and didn’t stop until the natural momentum died down on its own.

“Nooo!” Landon hissed and growled, the smell of charred flesh strongly permeating the air. He retreated quickly back into the darkness of the tunnels while slamming his fists and claws into the walls in fury.

“More beast than man,” I snarked.

“I will get you, Valka! I will hunt you down until you’re mine,” he promised with menace.

Normally, this would make my pussy flutter. But right now, I was too damn tired. I laid back on the grass, taking in the sun’s rays and letting myself catch my breath.

I always thought I had the weakest power in clan Letos. Now? Now I felt like the strongest bitch to ever grace Letos with her presence.

Fuck. I was starting to sound like him.

Once I caught my breath, I got to my feet and dusted myself off. I didn’t know what territory I ended up in. Hopefully it was still Letos lands. That would just be my luck to walk right into another clan while someone from my own clan was hunting me down.

Was this how Landon felt growing up?
