Chapter 61


    Chapter 61: Taken by the Darkness


    “Ivy.”


    A taunting voice called from outside the cottage, followed by a scratching sound that made me bite my


    bottom lip. “Why are you hiding from me?”


    As much as I wanted to reply, I couldn’t. Instead, I remained quiet, and with my silence, I heard the


    cottage door crash open. His thundering steps echoed over the flooring as he stepped inside. “Are we


    ying hide and seek?” he chuckled deeply.


    There weren’t many ces to hide in my cottage. The distant voices of James and Damian echoed


    outside. “Hale!”


    Holding my breath, I watched Hale’s shadow from the closet door. He knew where I was, and as the


    doors flew open. I tried to push past him, only to be snatched by sharp ws and pulled back. A cry


    escaped my lips as he chuckled. “Why are you running? You said you wanted to y with me.


    “Hale, what are you doing?” I whined as I looked up into two dark, swirling eyes. “How are you shifted


    like this?”


    “Because I’m not Hale… well, technically not.”


    Confusionced my mind as I tried toe to terms with what he was saying. He was Hale… his human


    form was present, but small characteristics had changed, and with them, something else came forward.


    A more primal side of him took the forefront.


    “What do you want?” I asked breathlessly as his tongue slid over my neck before tossing me onto the


    bed. I was turned on at the moment… To know he and his wolf had a need only I could fulfill, and as he


    stood over me, I waited.


    Waited for him to pounce waited for him to take me.


    The swollen and sensitive mound between my thighs ached, and with every movement my thighs teased


    me, begging for a release only he could give me.


    “You should have listened to them,” he said with a predatory gaze that caused fear to creep in slowly.


    “You shouldn’t have run.”


    Before I knew it, I was pinned beneath him as his lips met mine. The kiss was not as before, and his


    touch was not soft at all. Most women would have screamed, but me… I didn’t.


    I was utterly entranced by what he was doing to me, and as his thick erection parted my folds, impaling


    me all I could do was moan in pleasure.


    I was his to do as he wanted, and the voices of Damian and James were distant in the fog of pleasure


    that clouded my mind.


    Hale’s hand gripped my throat as he fucked me with a force no human man could everpete with and


    cries of pleasure escaped my lips over and over again.


    “Oh, shit!” I screamed as he flipped me over and slipped himself back in from behind. The pration


    was deep and slightly painful. Yet, it was nothingpared to the sensation of the knot at the base of his


    cock swelling and pushing against my walls.


    “I can’t-” I whimpered as he held me down. His lips trailed over my neck as he created more arousal


    within me


    **You are mine, Ivy. Say it. Say you are mine.”


    “I’m yours,” I replied breathlessly. “Make me yours.” Overloaded to the max, I tried to pull myself together,


    but his whispered words in my ear stopped me cold.


    “Oh, I will. And as I empty myself, you will carry the future.” The voice wasn’t normal and panicking, I


    realized it was that of his wolf.


    “Wait, what” elongated teeth bit down at the base of my neck, and pleasure flooded through me as I


    screameding undone as I felt the pressure of his release settled deep within my womb.


    I didn’t care at that moment what he meant anymore. I was willing to surrender to his desires.


    Chapter 61: Taken by the Darkness


    Desires that made my heart flutter as darkness slowly crept into my vision. I wasn’t sure what the future


    would hold, but as my eyes began to close, I saw the creature within the darkness. A force unlike


    anything I could have imagined


    It was a beast waiting to be released. A force of nature that didn’t fit with the world we were currently in


    and none of it made sense.


    “Ivy.” It called out in a soothing voice that wrapped around me like velvet. I have been waiting for you.”


    Fear spiraled through me as my heart began to race. The beast in the darkness stalked towards me


    slowly as if it owned me. Yet, even though fear was there, I wasn’t entirely afraid.


    The creature was more familiar to me than I understood, and something deep down inside my soul


    recognized it. Something deep inside me was calling to it, and as it did, the creature reached for me,


    plunging me into a dark abyss of constant pleasure andfort


    Was this the end… Or was it simply the beginning of something new?


    Something that could potentially destroy us all if we weren’t careful.


    James POV


    Bursting through the door, I watched as Hale slowly became himself again. His eyes flickered for a


    moment as he looked at me, and then down at Ivy whose beautiful neck was now lined with another


    mark next to mine.


    His mark… his im on her.


    “You didn’t,” I gasped, realizing what it meant that he hadid with her in that form. He had imed her


    and mated with her in a way that very well could produce a child by the end of a year.


    “Oh, fuck-” he said as he realized what I was talking about. “I-I didn’t mean to.”


    Heavy footsteps echoed behind me, and as I turned, I took in Damian’s dark ring eyes assessing the


    situation. Hale slowly moved as his knot released and grabbed a nket,ying it over Ivy’s now


    sleeping form.


    The mating process took everyst bit of energy from her.


    “What’s done is done,” Damian replied firmly through gritted teeth. She is one with you both now, and it


    can not be undone as it was before.”


    “Damian, why haven’t you imed her?” Hale finally asked as I grabbed a pair of shorts from a stash in


    her closet we had left weeks before and tossed them at him.


    “I have given my reasoning before,” he sighed. “You all deserve to have her before I make my im. As


    should have been done in the past.”


    “We need to find Talon.” I interrupted, causing them both to turn to me before nodding in agreement.


    Finding Talon would be a problem. After losing Ivy, he had gone off the radar and stayed to his


    animalistic side. A side that was hard to reach at times, considering how out-of-control Talon was.


    **No matter what we do… you, Hale, can not let that happen again. You have controlled that side of you


    for years. What the fuck happened up there?”


    Damian’s scolding question caught Hale by surprise, and I knew I was at fault for what happened, as well


    as Ivy. I pushed her to do what she did, but never did I think that Hale would have lost it.


    “It’s my fault,” I whispered, causing them both to look at me. “Ivy wanted you, Hale, and I could feel how


    bad it was breaking her to not be with you. To have you so indifferent to her. She expects it from Damian,


    but not from you. So I pushed her to do what she did.”


    “I knew it.” He yelled as he stormed towards me and shoved me against the wall. “I could have killed her,


    James!”


    “Enough!” Damian roared, causing us both to back down. “I will not tolerate any more of this shit in my


    pack. We are stronger together, and I will not have us divided. I said what I said, what’s done is done.”


    Damian was more than serious, and I was well aware of what he had to say. “What would you like to do


    about Ivy ?”

    His eyes cast down to her as he shook his head, ‘take her to the room andy her down. Whatever


    happens though from here on out, she can not be a part of retrieving Talon. Especially if the goddess


    takes pleasure in our situation, and she does be pregnant.”


    I didn’t miss the way his eyes darted to Hale with swirling ckness as he said pregnant.


    Yes, she belonged to all of us. However, the Alpha wolf in him wanted to have that right first.


    It was about dominance and control. Even if she was shared. His wolf didn’t care.


    “Of course,” I muttered as I walked towards her and lifted her sleeping form in its nket.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    My wolf howled in protest in the back of my mind to a danger lurking around us. I wasn’t sure what it was


    but the pacing he was doing caused me to grit my teeth as pain radiates through my skull.


    ‘Mate.’ It whined as if to try and tell me something was wrong with Ivy.


    A feeling of despair slowly grew within the pit of my stomach as nausea swept through me.


    “I think something is wrong,” I whispered, causing Damian to look at me with concern.


    “What do you mean something is wrong?”


    Shaking my head I looked at him with confusion, “I don’t know… Just something isn’t right.”


    Our eyes lingered on Ivy’s sleeping form in my arms. Her hair swept around her face causing her to


    seem more delicate than she was. “Isn’t the bond the same as before?”


    “No.” I said softly, “Hale didn’t bond with her like he did before. This was different. There is something in


    Ivy that is different than before, and my wolf is going crazy”


    As Damian and my eyes lingered on Hale he stood speechless, “I can’t feel anything.”


    That isn’t good. With the bond solidified between them, he should have been able to feel what I did, and


    yet, he couldn’t.


    *Take her to her room andy her down. We will take turns keeping an eye on her. In the meantime, we


    need to find Talon. That has to be priority. if we don’t. I have a feeling she will turn to drastic measures of


    trying to find him.”


    Nodding my head, I made my way back to the house trying to calm the beast within my mind.


    I had no doubt that she would be out for a while. The mating process with anyone was draining, but to


    mate with the mixed ones… Well, that was sure to be more dangerous.
