It didn’t matter what type of supe I put in with him, he was strong enough to hold out even through the drugs. Even as the women screamed in pain from the heat I gave them he wouldn’t give.

Until my kitty cat.

She wasn’t what I wanted. What would I do with a baby shifter that has two forms? But she’s the only one to make the Alpha falter. His true mate. I never would have thought.

Seems even in my infinite wisdom I still can’t see what the universe can. No matter, I make my own future. Which now includes a baby that’s half cougar and half wolf shifter. I’m sure I could still cause chaos with such a child and if this does work it’s not like I can’t try again with another pair.

That little sassy wolf would be a lot of fun to breed, maybe with an Elemental like I originally planned. They’re rare but I’m sure I would find a male somewhere.

I watch my kitty cat and her mate group until they fall asleep happy and snuggled together. It’s so disgustingly cute. Makes me want to torture someone. Which reminds me I do have a new toy to play with tonight.

“Oh Remy, I think it’s time you and I get to know each other. And you can tell me everything you know about your pack,” I tell the weasel of a man chained up to the wall behind me. Tears roll down his cheeks and from the smell of it I think he pissed himself. The funny thing is I haven’t even started yet.

“Please, please, please,” he begs when I remove the spell from his mouth.

Yes I do love it when they beg.

Chapter Twenty-Three

LEVEL

A scream from the house rings out through the night as my jailer for the last few days comes to bring me food. I should be used to the sounds of this place after all these years but still the screams get me. Reminds me a little too much of my wife and daughters cries as the Black Coven slaughtered them to take me.

“Where is Scarlett?” I ask the blonde girl bringing the food to my cage. Normally this is where I stay unless the head bitch wants to ‘play’.

“Scarlett the traitor isn’t coming back, better get used to it Mage,” the blonde sneers at me making me miss the mute little redhead even more.

“What did she do?” I ask, eating whatever mush they’ve provided me with today. I don’t even taste it anymore, it’s just a way to keep my body healthy enough to keep going. I tried a few years back to kill myself by not eating but having them force feed and punish me was worse than just eating what I was brought.

“She helped some prisoners escape and left with them, when she gets caught there’s going to be hell to pay,” the little brat says, apparently enthusiastically indoctrinated by the cult of a coven. She doesn't have a clue that real covens are not run this way, that they are more about family and less about power. Or at least that’s how I remember them. I suppose a lot can happen in ten years.

The world might have gone to complete shit while I’ve been locked up here forced to do whatever they want. There was a time when I hoped I’d escape one day and make them all pay, but that has long passed. I hate the existence I now live but there’s nothing I can do to change my circumstances.

The chains I wear bind me to the coven and also make it so I can’t do any magic on my own. I’m just a fucking battery, that’s it. Not a person or even a Mage anymore, just something to be used and tossed aside when they’re done with me.

“Who escaped?” I ask, not knowing we even had other ‘guests’ on the compound, though that shouldn’t surprise me since I’m the only one ever in my cage. Or my shed the cage is in for that matter, unless the head bitch comes to visit or they bring my meals. Otherwise I’ve spent ten years alone.

Fucking lousy life.

“Well there were two wolves and a cougar shifter, Mother is breeding the cat so as soon as the baby comes we’ll go get it back. I can’t wait to see the look on those dumb shifters faces when we burn their world to the ground,” she tells me, the look on her young face terrifying. Chills run through me thinking how evil this coven has made all its members with black magic, even the young. I’m surprised that Scarlett turned out as kind as she is. I hope they never find her and she can live a real life with love and laughter.

“It will only be a few days now and then we’ll kill them all,” she continues and then laughs maniacally as she magics my dish back to her hands and walks away.

I wish that there was some way that I could warn Scarlett and her new friends but I’m worthless. Not even worthy of the magic I have, no wonder someone thought it was their right to steal it from me.

So fucking weak.

Chapter Twenty-Four

JADE

The next day I wake up once again larger than before, but instead of feeling panic, I feel happiness as I look at my mates curled up around me. I never thought I’d have the chance for a family like this. Always assuming that I’d be on the run forever and maybe if I was lucky I’d get to take Dar with me.

Here surrounded by the warmth of my mates naked bodies I don’t know that I can ever go back to living like that. Though I wouldn’t mind not living in the pack house, the other wolves make my cougar nervous and maybe some of that’s the stories I heard about the Omega wolf that lived here.

It’s not in my nature to be big and bad but I’ve trained myself for years on how to stand up to bullies, but I’d still rather avoid them if it’s possible. That Remy guy from the other night I’m sure won’t be the only problem in this house. Mila told me a little about how all the females have been after Silas, Jace, and Bellamy for years. I’m sure some of them will be catty about our mating.

This is part of the reason that I didn’t want to mate with an Alpha wolf in the first place. I didn’t want to cause an endless amount of drama because I’m not a wolf. It’s not like we chose each other. The universe is in complete control of mates according to the guys. I don’t know much about it. With me being pregnant and magically growing quickly I’m sure that there will be more than a few rumors about what’s going on.
