He rubbed my back, “All you did was juice my ass up baby. I fought to take your blood in, and it was so damn worth it. Seems you had a decent enough distraction while I thought I was dying though, no big deal,” he said with a wink.
“No, I—I’m so sorry. It’s like I have no control of myself,” I said, feeling horrible that I was all hot and horny while he could’ve been dying.
“I’m teasing, doll. You can’t help it. It’s really okay,” Logan said.
“I think the bigger issue is that it looks like your blood is starting to create fucking alphas out of all of us,” Cole said with a funny smile. “Now, we just have to figure out how to survive with all alphas in the group.”
Braden walked up. “Alpha or not, you all know that I’d kick all your asses.” He kissed my forehead, “Although, let’s not forget who made you the alpha and who she really is.”
I looked at Braden in confusion. “What the hell are you talking about?”
“Baby, you’re the queen of fucking alpha vamps and immortals. We’ll all be at your command, and once this force has leveled out in your blood, we can figure out how to get you to start controlling your new power.”
I blinked a few times trying to swallow this shit, only to have Nakia walk up to me with a look of crazy desire.
“Let’s give this a go. I’m going to want to fucking tear your clothes off, so if I get fucking carried away, I need you to call me off.” He brushed his lips over mine. “You’re going to have all of us wanting to tear you apart once this is all over.”
Holy shit, he was right. But what he didn’t know was that this was changing me too. I could feel it by the second. This amped-up, weird energy that was giving me erratic emotions was taming, and I felt like I was somehow giving power, strength, and life to my vampires and shifters. Sealing bonds be damned, we were taking this shit to a better level.
We were going after this witch amped up and ready to go. I felt the energy of mine and Zane’s baby growing in my tummy practically leap inside me at that thought. We were going to come at this witch with more power than I think even we thought was possible to gain.
Chapter Twenty-Five
Okay, so I was wrong about having full control. Nakia was driving me wild with how he was trying to becarefulwhile drinking this super-charged alpha blood out of my system. As I started coming down off the death high I had previously been on, my body was pulsating for more.
Let him drink, Elle!I told myself over and over as his firm hands braced along each side of my ribs, thumbs absently massaging down over my stomach to the rhythm he was drinking from me. His fangs may have been sunk into my neck, but his soft lips caressed it in a way that had me groaning in need and want for this man to take me as his own.
I closed my eyes as he fed, trying to keep my groans of pleasure at a whisper, and I suddenly began to see Nakia in my mind’s eye in some strange vision that came from nowhere. I took the vision as a gift because it was getting me away from the other desire my body was begging him for.
His absolute control over the situation wasn’t helping either. He never pressed his hard erection into me, never moaned in satisfaction…nothing. How he was feeling was a mystery, and it turned my ass on even more. The power he must have been hanging onto in battling drinking from a vampire—much less a vampire that was juicing him up with alpha powers—was something I couldn’t understand given how the other two shifters responded to this exact scenario.
I focused on Nakia in my vision. He was in a glorious setting, out with guys on a perfectly manicured lawn. All shirts were off for any girl who had the privilege to see this. Nakia’s dark skin was flawless, and the tattoos on his arms were highlighted by his flexed muscles while he was practicing some form of martial arts.
I had no idea who any of the others were as my eyes were focused on Nakia alone. A large man with darker skin waltzed out and shot Nakia a smile that could only be considered anI’m going to kick your asssmile.
“Alright, Nakia,” the man who stood as tall as a damn giant said, towering over the sweaty and glistening body of the shifter. “You’ve taken all your challengers down. Now, it’s time to see if you’re able to take your instructor down.”
“This wasn’t part of the deal, Henry,” Zane’s voice came from somewhere in the crowd, but I couldn’t peel my eyes away from Nakia to search him out. “You’re going to take on one of your students? You’re a cocky piece of shit!”
Nakia planted his hands on his hips and sized up his giant instructor. “If I kick your ass, then I get a pass on the rest of your bullshit classes for the remainder of the semester.”
The instructor shook his head. “No one gets a free pass in Khanbridge Academy, you little fucker.”
“You all are a bunch of assholes.” Nakia’s eyes grew dark.
“Gonna shift on me, orphan?” the instructor mocked. “Let’s see that little puppy, shithead.”
“Trying to get me expelled from this fucking joke of a school?” Nakia started moving in a way that I oddly could tell he was planning his attack on the jerk of a teacher.
“Can’t expel you, but I can get your ass thrown into Darkwater Dungeon where you’ll rot with the other piece of shit orphans brought to my school.”
Nakia leapt in the air and caught the instructor in his flexed bicep, bringing him crashing to the ground. Nakia never missed a move after planting both feet solidly next to the instructor who wriggled out of his grip and sprang up to his feet. Nakia’s face showed humor while he spun around on one foot and sent a straight leg up behind the asshole’s knees, buckling and sending the man flat on his back again. Laughs erupted from the crowd before the instructor roared in frustration and grabbed Nakia’s ankle.
“You and your orphan, wolf-shifting friends will go to the dungeons and rot.” He pulled Nakia back, and I could see Nakia’s wolf trying to shift to protect him.
“Don’t fucking do it, Nakia!” I heard Bren shouting angrily.
Nakia must have been in the mental process of shaking off the wolf that was trying to overtake his human side because that’s when the dick instructor pinned him to the ground and put a blade to his throat.
