Atomic Mage Garrett Carter (online e book reader TXT) 📖

He shifted his chair away from the two as he felt the jaguar woman flinch away from him.

"It's ok Sharee, this is my mate, Cade. Cade this is Sharee who you know from our first meeting." Mina said as she soothingly rubbed circles on the back of the distraught jaguar woman.

"It is nice to meet you, Cade. Mina has spoken a little about you, I thank you for saving us from that woman and her group." Sharee said with a wane grin as she looked at him.

Cade watched Sharee's claws extend as she looked at Rista who was still frozen by his puppet spell.

Sabine was starting to work up into a good rant, cursing Rista out with a mixture of broken English curse words and a few that Cade didn't understand, but he assumed were in her native language.

The three onlookers flinched as Sabine's tail flew at the immobile Rista, its long-bladed tip piercing Rista's chest to the hilt with a wet thunk.

"FUCK! Don't let her die my Cade, I'm not done with her yet." Sabine exclaimed as she pulled her tail out of the gurgling Rista.

Cade fixed the damage quickly, giving Sabine a nod to continue.

Before she returned to her captive she blew a kiss his way, her eyes promising him a wonderful time later.

A chuckle escaped him at the actions of his sweet but bloodthirsty wife.

"I think our Sabine is enjoying the memories from your past life," Mina said after her chuckle at the change in Sabine from cold-blooded killer to her usual sweet self.

"Let her have her fun, she has more than earned a little catharsis. Speaking of catharsis, I'm going to take care of the brothel slavers real quick. If you would join me in our home away from home for a bit to get the ladies there in order my love I would appreciate it."

At Mina's nod, he shifted his attention to Sabine who was tearing into Rista with her tail, the last six feet of it a blur as Sabine took out her rage on the slaver.

"Sabine...Sabine...SABINE!" Cade finished his attempt to pull the screaming woman with a shout as Sabine finally heard her name through her bloodlust.

"Mina and I are gonna take care of the brothel from our mental space. I will keep Rista alive till you are done with her, when you are finished cut her head off or something."

A nod and a smile were all he got as she got back to her task.

A sob escaped Rista as Sabine's tail began its work once more.

Cade's attention was drawn to the truly massive breasts of the orc that were on display.

"Hmm, green nipps."

Mina's snort at his comment caused him to look at her slightly smaller assets, then to her amused smirk.

"But I prefer black ones," he said with a grin.

"AND PINK ONES," Sabine said loudly as she continued her assault on Rista.

"Yes, and pink ones," he said with a chuckle at Sabine's cheery tone.

Sharee for her part had the most perplexed look on her face at their banter.

"You get used to it," Mina said to her friend, laughing at the incredulous look she was giving her.

"I think I will pass Mina. While he sounds fun I prefer a little more fur on my mate." Sharee said before her face fell in grief, the loss of her mate coming back to her all at once.

Cade and Mina shared a look and a grimace as their banter brought back her pain.

"What was his name again!?" Cade asked his mate through their mental link.

"I don't know! I was there for only a few days before they were attacked by Rista. Sharee's mate and I only interacted once on the first day when I beat him during our mating fight. She was the only one who talked to me after that."

Mina's reply was rushed as she pulled the distraught Sharee into her arms, and began her soothing ministrations once again.

He stifled a snort as his mate's tone signaled her lack of empathy for the male's demise.

"Can we continue then, I don't want to stick around here for longer than necessary. Sabine looks like she will be finished soon also."

Cade's attention shifted to his little snake as she sprung forward suddenly, sinking her fangs into Rista's shoulder.

"I can do both at once my Cade, remember I was partially in your head for a full day before, with you none the wiser." He only nodded his reply as his control over Rista's body was ripped from him as Sabine stepped back from the mind mage.

Watching with interest, Cade tried to make the orc woman stand.

All that happened was a flinch from her arm that caused Sabine to chop off the limb in reflex.

"Don't do that my Cade, I almost killed her," Sabine said as she watched the bleeding stump heal over.

"Go kill some rapists or something I will be done soon," she said as she turned back to working the slack-jawed Rista over.

"Ok... have fun," Cade replied as he moved into his mental space.

Arriving in his front yard Cade walked up to the small porch on the front of his home and with a small force of will created a swinging deck chair to sit on while he waited for his wife.

Mina appeared a few moments later smiling at him as she made her way over to sit down next to him.

"So why are we changing the plan my Cade, what happened to all the taps we were supposed to signal you with?" She asked
