Page 30 of Hunting Savage
The feel of her sister’s human hands wiping at the tears tracking down her cheeks gave her strength to continue.“We were taught not to show any of our abilities for fear of being outcasts.On the day th...that our parents died, we were running.A storm suddenly appeared, and then a tree fell on our car.It was horrible, Savage.Starla and I barely escaped with our lives.”She held her hand up as he moved to take her in his arms, knowing she’d crumble and be unable to finish.
“At the time, I was moving on instinct and an inner knowledge.Our parents hadn’t kept me in the dark completely, so I got both of us out of the wreckage of the SUV, took what valuables I could from the luggage, and realized the forest across from us spoke to me.We must’ve been heading somewhere my mother knew, or at least a place she sensed was safe for all of us.Once we were inside the safety of the woods, the beating rain didn’t seem to touch us.Time became weird.I remember taking things from the suitcases, and then Starla and I went in search of a certain tree our mother had spoken about.”She wasn’t going to tell him about the magical tree and how it had given her the knowledge of the Fey.Her bloodline and its secrets were for her and her kin.
“Is that how you got us away from the forest and set up across the country?”Starla asked.
Aurora laughed.“No.It didn’t give me a magical portal that whisked us across state lines.However, that would’ve been amazing.The magic provided me, or rather us, with the ability to move without being traced.The suppression spell might seem harsh, but my dad said that when females without a pack come of age, it could be extremely dangerous not only for us but also for those in our lives.I chose to continue suppressing my wolf and Starla’s.”
“Aurora, I hate to tell you this, but my wolf is not liking the whole suppression thing.”
Before Aurora could do or say anything, the air in front of them shimmered.Savage moved beside her, placing one large arm in front of her as if he prepared to sweep her behind him.
From one moment to the next, the space in front of her went from empty to filled with a tiny female and two identical glowering males standing next to her—one on her left and one on her right.If Aurora hadn’t seen Savage first, she’d have thought they were the most handsome beings she’d ever laid eyes on.Her gaze flew back to the blonde woman sandwiched between the males.Her long hair flowed down her back, but it was her sparkling purple eyes that captivated Aurora.
“Who are you?”Aurora asked.
“Hello, family.I am Jennaveve.These two angry-looking males are my other halves.Damien and Lucas, can you two please pretend not to be so...stern?”
Chapter Eleven
Savage didn’t likethe way his bonded female thought about the two newcomers being handsome.Hell, he had never felt the raging green monster in all of his long life until the moment he saw her.Now he wanted to take their heads for existing.He sensed immense power within the two males.At the same time, their power was totally eclipsed by what he not only sensed but could feel, radiating off of the tiny female.
Shit, the thought of someone else taking up space in Aurora’s mind made him want to say screw it and see if he could take them out before the blonde could stop him.He had a sneaking suspicion that whoever she happened to be, she could not only stop him, she’d kill him for daring to harm one hair on either of the males’ heads.His instinct screamed at him to eliminate them from this world.He was screwed.
“Easy, big guy,” Jenna said, holding her hands out.
Savage smirked as the female’s two mates growled at her words.She smacked them both on their chests while holding his gaze.
“I think it’s your big guys you need to be speaking to, female.”
This time, it was Aurora who growled.The inner caveman in him gave a little rumble at her show of jealousy.He eased his arm behind her, pulling her against his side.“Trust me, Aurora, you’re the only female I want.”
“Weirdly enough, I do.”Her lip curled, revealing small white teeth he’d love to feel biting into his flesh, sending a shiver down his spine.Aurora fluttered her eyelashes at him.“Keep looking at me like that and you’ll find yourself in big trouble, Savage.”
Savage ran his tongue over his fangs, feeling their pointy ends, letting Aurora see them as well.He took in her curvy shape, raking his gaze down her form with a hunger he’d never experienced before.“Don’t tempt me, Vita Mea.”
“While this is all very entertaining, you two.We’re here for reasons other than watching the both of you make moon eyes at one another.”
