Page 27 of His Impossible Elf Mate
“The attackers likely had at least one other accomplice.” Deke explained as we entered the room. “They set sleep spells around the compound. You and Elliotte were in a silence bubble and they cut your connection between your wolf and the pack. It was powerful and expensive magic. They made it so you couldn’t call for help and didn’t have your wolf to fight with.”
I shared a look with my cousin, the healer and assistant. “The elves are sending for help.”
Blake explained the elves wanted more of a presence in the pack over our family bond. They were sending more fighters.
“I can’t believe someone tried this. We are so grateful to you, Roan.”
With Deke, I stepped forward to lay my hands on Roan’s legs, the only unharmed part of him, to give him and his wolf comfort. My wolf surged towards his, thanking him for what he had done.
Then they arrived. Hiroshi, the new healer, and his two betas. I had seen Tate around as he was in training with Deke to be an enforcer. He was a raven shifter, so useful for his ability to fly. We only had three avian shifters in the pack, making Tate’s alter precious, unlike in his birth pack, where they looked down on ravens.
Mate. Roan immediately claimed Hiroshi as his.
It was both beautiful and heartbreaking to watch, even as distracted as I was, I still felt the pain of something I would never have.
I watched them flirt, terribly, but it was adorable.
Hiroshi finally got to healing Roan. No wonder he was famous. The power he held was amazing! Aldrin’s shock let me know it wasn’t a usual healing. Their mate connection had strengthened it.
The Luna really was watching over Roan.
We made to leave, to let the omega spend some time with his fated mate. Just as we were leaving, Hiroshiclimbed onto the bed and into Roan’s waiting arms. They were going to be fine.
I’ve healed that alpha in the basement enough, so his mind isn’t foggy with pain. Not sure you’ll get much out of him, to be honest. He just kept repeating, ‘she must die’, which is super creepy, FYI.Hiroshi sounded ill.
Deke gave an approving nod to Tate while I thanked Hiroshi for his hard work.Please do what you can for Roan. He nearly died for my niece…
He’ll be well looked after.I could almost hear the mental wink. Hiro was a spitfire.
We didn’t have cells, as such. Just a singular room in the cellar, not too far from the gym. It was reinforced to hold even the strongest shifter. The windowless room held a toilet, sink, and small cot. We used spells on the walls to muffle sound and cut off pack links.
Blake met us at the bottom of the cells around the corner from the holding room. He had set his face in a grim line.
“Let’s get this done,” he said with little emotion.
The shifter was standing, a smug look on his face. “I ain’t gonna talk.”
He held onto that resolve until we had removed his fingernails and fang teeth when Blake forced a partial shift on him. The shifter repeated his mantra aboutElliotte until we began carving him up. Then he broke long enough to say there would be more, and they had the backing of powerful people.
Aware we would get no more, I grabbed the knife I’d been using, still slick with blood, and cut his throat just deep enough he couldn’t use his alter to heal so it would take time for him to die.
I watched him bleed out, gurgling and gasping. The life drained from his eyes, leaving us needing more answers.
Teárlach was there when I returned to my suite. He led me to the shower, stripped and washed me before guiding me into the bath, where he wrapped himself around me. We soaked for a long time, wordlessly.
He whispered words of comfort as he lay in bed with me. He uttered words of love I so desperately needed as he kissed me all over.
My lover worshiped my body for what felt like hours before spearing me on his cock. He made love to me gently, sweetly, holding me close and kissing me deeply until we both came.
It was the most beautiful, sensual experience of my life. I knew then there would be no one else for me but him.
With him still inside me, I said, “I love you,” for the first time, knowing nothing had ever been more true.
When he returned the words, my resolve settled. I was keeping Teárlach and protecting my niblings until The Luna called me home.
Reconciliation
