She answered me back, pressing her body against mine. Tasting her again was all that I needed. All I would need forever. Just her.

She broke the kiss.

Get me out of here.

I leaned my forehead against hers.

I will, but not from here. Too many rogues out there.

She started to shake under my touch.

Calm yourself. I will take you away from here, I promise. You are mine.

I lifted her face with my thumb and forefinger so I could stare into her beautiful eyes. Even in the darkness. Even here, in the midst of a shitty situation, she would always be the most beautiful female I’d ever seen.

I remember seeing you in the forest all those years ago. You are even more perfect now.

She leaned into my body. Her hands clung to my biceps. Where her skin connected to mine, heat radiated between us. She was mine. Her next words doused my errant thoughts.

They are sending me, well, us, out there like cattle. All of these girls.

I grunted, and my wolf snarled inside. He was not okay with anyone looking at his mate. I dug my hands into her hips, unwilling to let her go.

You will be safe. And until then-

I cut myself off.

I claimed her lips and slid my hands down her hips to her ass. I lifted her and she wrapped her legs around my waist, locking her heels behind me.

No one will touch what is mine.

CHAPTER5

Kiara

WasDevon really here or was I making this all up? I wanted him to be here. I wanted it to all be real.

Except I was really good at wanting things and living in dreams. Maybe I’d just made this up too?

My body shook in need to be near my mate.He felt so real.

With him by my side, nothing could hurt me. Nothing would hurt me.

I pressed my hands on either side of his face as he kissed me hard. He tasted real.

Every stroke of his hand sent shivers that were real enough up my spine.

The heat of his palms against my ass? Real.

His hands were hot against my skin as he gripped me and lifted me up. He was real. I needed to know that this wasn’t my mind playing with me. Goddess knew that I could imagine a man just to make life seem worthwhile. I could imagine freedom.

His lips slipped down my jaw to my neck. His warm breath hovered over the mark on my shoulder.His mark.

The long shaft pressing against me?

How dare they try to take you from me?

The growl was clear even in his words in my head.
