paused. He then lifted my face to his and kissed me. His mouth was soft and gentle then it became firm and fierce like he thought that he would never be able to do this again. My heart was beating so loud that I knew for sure he could hear it. His was beating just as hard. He pulled away and looked me in the eyes. His face was flushed red just as mine was. My lips were on fire. We were both breathing heavily.
“There’s something I have to tell you.” He said his voice husky.
“What is it?” I asked but he didn’t answer he just kissed me again. This time more urgently as if he were going to die.
“I’m your maker.” He said against my lips. I pulled back shocked.
“What?”
“I’m the one who turned you. I was looking for food when I saw you. You looked so beautiful, so beautiful that I didn’t think you were human. I suddenly had a taste for blood and you happened to be the only thing around at that moment. I went into a frenzy and attacked you before I could stop myself. After I had finally stopped myself I thought you had died, but no you were still breathing so I transformed into my human self and carried you away. The rest you already know. Skye I’m so sorry.” I didn’t know what to say. Luke lifted my arms from around his neck and backed away. I stood there frozen. He had done this to me.
“Did everyone know but me?” He nodded.
“No one wanted to tell you, but when you told me you were doing something to save my life I couldn’t stop myself, you had to know the truth. I don’t blame you if you hate me now.” He started for the door. I reached out and grabbed his arm.
“Luke to tell you the truth at first I was pissed at the person who had made me but then I felt lucky. I mean I met you and Eldon and the others and I feel like that is the best thing that ever happened to me.” I looked at him. “I’m glad that you made me I would have been mad if it were anyone else.” I managed a smile then and his face lit up. Luke scoped me into his arms and gave me a very big hug.
“Skye I’m going to tell you something else.”
“If it’s more bad news I’m going to kill you.”
“Oh so my making you was bad news?” He laughed gently.
“At first it was.”
“Well it’s not bad Skye it’s good, great news actually.”
“What is it spit it out already?” Luke leaned close to my ear.
“I love you Skye. I always have.” He whispered in my ear. My heart stopped. I couldn’t breathe. Did he really just say that? He pulled away and looked my over.
“Are you ok?” I nodded. “Well aren’t you going to say something?” I opened my mouth to say I love you to but I never got the chance because at that moment Garrick burst through the doors.
“Luke. Skye’s gone she’s not in…” He stopped when he saw me. “Skye Claiborne you scared the crap out of me I thought something had happened to you.”
“Well as you can see I’m fine now please leave.” But Luke was quite pissed.
“You should have been able to notice the change in her scent when she left. So why the hell didn’t you?” Garrick looked at the ground. “Well?” Luke asked impatiently.
“Because I had been up all night.”
“What were you doing?” Luke asked anger pouring into every word.
“I was with Landen.” He shifted uncomfortably under Luke’s gaze. I myself was shocked at his words.
“You and Landen since when?”
“It’s been almost 100 years. Please don’t tell Caldwell he’ll defiantly separate us.” Luke softened and nodded.
“We won’t tell.”
“You promise?” His eyes were pleading.
“We promise.” Luke said winking at him. Garrick smiled and ran out of the room. I turned back to see Luke grinning.
“What? Do I have something on my face?” I reached up and began rubbing at my face.
“No but I do believe you were about to say something before we were so rudely interrupted.” He nuzzled my neck taking in my scent.
“I love you Lucian. I have for a long time.” He kissed me again and then carried me to bed.
…
I awoke later that afternoon. Luke wasn’t in bed. I rolled out from under the covers and quickly got dressed. I then ran to the throne room. It was empty, as was the rest of the castle.
“Hello? Anyone home?” No reply. I walked out of the castle and into the village. Everyone was inside. They had locked their windows and doors. That’s when I finally understood what was going on. I rushed to where I had last seen the rouge wolves. The first one I saw was Crader. He turned and smiled when I came closer. I gasped and gagged. They had taken a few of the villagers and gutted them. A little boy’s intestine lay out on the ground. A girl that looked about sixteen didn’t have any eyes. I doubled over and puked. Then I turned away not daring to look at the rest of them.
“If only your pack had listened to us this never would have happened.” Crader said putting his on the small of my back. I shook it off and stood up.
“Where are they?”
“Ah little wolfie I can’t tell you that.”
“Why not?”
“Because then you would try to escape. As long as I have them I have you.” This was true I wouldn’t leave without the others.
“Why the hell did you take kids from the village?”
“We needed to show them that we are in control.” I raised my hand and smacked Crader across the face.
“What the hell?”
“You killed innocent kids. You give werewolves a bad name.” I turned and began to walk away but Crader caught me by the arm.
“You will sleep in my tent from tonight on.” I glared at him but I didn’t have any other choice he had my pack.
“Ok.” I smiled my best fake smile at him and he let go of my arm. “Which one is yours?” He pointed to the biggest tent out here.
“You will wait in there for me you are not allowed to leave the tent for anything I will post someone right outside in case you need something.”
“Your keeping my locked up?”
“Yes because you are mine now and I don’t want anyone else to look at you or touch you. You are ripe and I will be the first to taste you.” I couldn’t help it a look of disgust crossed my face which earned me a slap.
“Go.” So I went no point in telling him I wasn’t a virgin. He would find out soon enough. I walked over to the tent and stepped inside. It was pretty nice. It had a canopy bed and carpet and even a couch. I looked around a little more. This guy had really thought it through. I picked up the box of pads. Yeah he really thought this through. I heard the opening of the tent ruffle and I reached down to pull the knife out of my boot but his voice stopped me.
“Skye?” I walked around the wardrobe to see Eldon standing there. I ran up to him and hugged him.
“Oh Eldon.” I pulled away and looked him over. They had beaten up. His lip was swollen and so was his left eye. “What the hell did they do to you?”
“Skye its ok they got mad because we wouldn’t tell them where you were.”
“But they could’ve sniffed me out.” Eldon shook his head.
“You smell like Luke.” Eldon smiled. I turned away, because I knew I was blushing.
“How does Crader not know this?”
“Because Crader is an idiot.”
“Wait a minute why did he let you go?”
“He didn’t but he felt you wouldn’t cooperate if one of us wasn’t with you.” I hugged Eldon again, and he put his arms protectively around me. “Luke told me to watch over you with my life but I was already going to do that.”
“I love you guys so much.”
“We all love you to Skye.” Just then Crader walked in. Eldon glared at him and gripped me tighter.
“How very touching but the girl is now mine.” Crader pulled me from Eldon. “You boy may sleep on the floor outside the door.”
“No he sleeps in here.” Crader glanced at me.
“Alright then you may sleep on the couch.” Crader turned and walked to his room. Eldon flipped him off and hugged me again. Then he walked over to the couch.
“Come Skye you sleep with me.” With one last look at Eldon I turned and followed Crader into his room. “This is for you.” He handed me a nightgown. I unfolded it and my breath caught in my throat. It was beautiful. It was simple cream silk with little white stitching. “Well put it on.”
“I’m not changing in front of you.”
“You will strip now.” I did as I was told, but I did it quickly. I slipped the nightgown on. The silk felt good against my skin. “You look stunning in that.” He looked me over and I could tell he was savoring me in his mind. The look made my body tingle with disgust. This man made me feel nothing but disgust. “Now get into bed.” I growled at him.
“Quit ordering me around.” My growl didn’t faze him. He just got into bed and patted the spot next to him. I reluctantly crawled into bed. Rescuing my pack is going to be harder than I thought.

I woke up the next morning to find that Crader was gone. I jumped out of bed and quickly got dressed. I then snuck out the back of the tent. His guards were more stupid then I thought. I lifted my nose to the sky and sniffed. So many scents. I sorted them all out and quickly found Luke’s. He smelled of sweat, and also of earth. I’ve always loved that earthy smell. I moved quickly but quietly. As I got nearer his scent got stronger. I ducked behind a tent as one of Crader’s guards passed by. Thankfully he didn’t smell me and continued on. I peeked around the corner and saw Luke. He was digging a hole. He had on only pants. His bare chest had faded scars all over it. His hair has matted to his forehead from all the sweat. He also had grim and dirt covering his face and body. Even dirty like that he still looked sexy. I shook my head trying to clear that thought away. I snuck out from my hiding place and crossed over to him. He didn’t even notice me till I was right under his nose. I put my hand over his mouth.
“Shh be quiet it’s only me.” I let him go and he turned to face me.
“Skye what the hell are you doing here?” He was angry and it hurt me.
“I came to save you guys.” I all but growled at him.
“We don’t need your saving now get out of here before Crader finds out you’re here.”
“He already knows I’m here. I had to sleep with him last night. Apparently he thinks I’m a virgin and wants to be the first to taste me.” I smirked at the way Luke blushed.
“Yes but even so I wasn’t the first to take you
