Broken (The Onyx Wolves Book 2) (3 page)

I wanted him to understand that I wasn’t going to leave.

Pops needed me and it was giving me purpose to continue on.

“Then we will stay with you.” He reasons.

“One of you has to go back and take care of the pack.” I argue.

“You can stay with her, London. I’ll return back with the pack. She listens better to you anyway.” Rowan chimes in.

He was giving up a lot.

London nods his head gratefully.

“Whatever you do, Parker, don’t lose yourself to the Hunter. I know he looks like Gage but he isn’t him.” Rowan adds.

I nod my head in understanding. “I won’t lose myself.”

London steps back and Rowan takes his place.

“I’m going to give you two some time.” London grunts before walking out the door.

Rowan stares into my eyes.

“Tell me what Gage told you.” I whisper.

Rowan closes his eyes for a moment before he reopens them and pushes my hair back behind my ears with his hands. “He told me to love you, to kiss you senseless when you needed it, and to do everything in my power to make you smile.”

He wipes away a stray tear from my cheek before continuing on. “He made me promise to take care of you no matter what happened. He wanted you to go on with life.”

“I wish we could have had more time together.” I whimper.

Rowan nods. “He would have given anything for more time too.”

“At least I have you.” I sigh softly as I wrap my arms around his neck.

He smiles down at me sweetly before leaning in to press his lips against my tenderly. “I’m glad I have you too.”

Pops walks into the room interrupting us and then curses softly. “I’m sorry you two. I didn’t know…” He trails off.

I chuckle and shake my head. “It’s alright, Pops.”

Rowan turns his attention back to me. “I will be here in an instant if you call, okay.”

I nod and hug him tightly before letting him go.

Pops and I watch him leave the room before Pops turns his attention towards me. “What’s going to happen now?” He asks.

“London is going to stay with me so that he can use his claws and so he can keep me safe. They’re worried about Blue.” I answer honestly.

Pops nods his head. “Alright, he’s going to have to stay in here with you and Blue if that’s alright. I don’t even have another spare bed to give.”

“That’s fine, Pops. London can share my bed or he can take the floor. I doubt it will matter to him as long as he’s near me.” I reply.

“Good, now that we have that settled I’ll go see what I can find for you and London to eat for dinner. I’m sure you’re starving.” Pops chuckles.

L
ondon walks back in with Blue following close behind just as Pops leaves the room in search of something hopefully tasty to eat.

“Are you feeling any better, Sweetheart?” London asks with a raised brow.

I shake my head. “My world still feels like it’s falling apart.”

“Do you want me to take the pain away again?” He questions next as he steps closer.

I nod my head.

The pain had my lungs feeling as if I wouldn’t be able to even take my next breath. I nearly had to gasp for my next breath.

Moving close London stares into my eyes while reaching his hand behind my neck.

London stops when Blue curses and quickly pulls a weapon.

“What the hell are you going to do to her?” Blue growls fiercely.

It catches both me and London off guard.

I had never expected his reaction to be to protect me.

London glances between me and Blue before answering. “I’m using my claws to control what her mind thinks.”

“Will it hurt her?” Blue questions next.

London shakes his head. “No, I’m taking away her pain. Everything else will be the same she just won’t be as sad.”

Blue nods his head and watches me closely as London resumes his position with his claws at the base of my neck.

With a quick movement his claws pierce my skin and the same wave of bliss that I had felt before floods over me.

I close my eyes as I smile.

“That’s my girl.” London whispers as he holds me upright.

“What else can you guys do with your claws like that?” Blue grunts.

London lets out a low growl as he continues to stare into my eyes. He didn’t like our moment being interrupted.

When we were like this it was intimate.

It brought forth memories of London and I being together.

Our feelings quickly sweep us away and I find myself being pinned down to my bed as London’s lips caress over mine.

“I did not see that coming.” Blue barks out in laughter.

I was thankfully for his interruption this time.

London wasn’t though.

He snarls before jumping to his feet and then stalking towards Blue, his anger was getting the better of him. He was ready to kill Blue for interrupting us again.

Moving quickly I step between London and Blue.

My back was towards Blue giving him a huge amount of trust.

London stops as his eyes go wide. “You’re seriously giving a Hunter that much trust? He could easily stab you right in the back.”

“But he’s not going to, London.” I argue.

London searches my eyes for a moment. “He isn’t Gage and it would be best if you remember that.”

With a quick move London snatches a knife from Blue’s hand and then steps back as he hands it over to me.

Turning quickly London leaves the room.

I let out the breath I had been holding before turning towards Blue with the knife held between us. “Were you seriously going to use this against me?”

He shakes his head as he looks into my eyes. “I only pulled it because I was afraid of him. I’m not afraid of you.”

“You should be afraid of me, Blue. You need to be afraid.” I reply sternly.

Standing in front of him I breathe heavily as a string tugs at my heart.

Tilting my head I study this man before me. There shouldn’t have been any kind of pull towards him. He was human after all.

It had to be the fact that he looked so much like Gage.

Being close like this though I could see the slight differences between them.

Blue had flecks of silver in his green eyes.

His left eyebrow had a deep scar cutting through it and his hair, his hair was soft to the touch. I couldn’t help myself as I run my fingers through it.

“I’m not him.” Blue states suddenly.

I pull away quickly and turn my back to him to hide my face.

Not wanting to answer him I quickly change into my wolf form which elicits a string of curses from Blue as he watches me with a renewed fear.

I had no intentions of hurting him though.

Lying down on my bed I watch Blue as he relaxes a bit and then sits down on his bed across from me.

“I’m sorry for what happened to you. I know how it feels to lose someone close to you. I lost the only family I had to wolves like you and that’s why I’m having such a hard time trusting you.” Blue confesses with a deep sigh.

“You probably don’t even understand a word I’m saying.” He snorts to himself.

“I want to trust you and I need your help to find my sister. I have to find her.” He then sighs sadly as he places his head into his hands.

As London walks in Blue quickly stands to his feet.

“What happened, why is she in her wolf form?” London questions as he motions towards me.

Blue holds his hands into the air. “I don’t know. We kind of had a moment and she quickly turned when I told her that I wasn’t him.”

London nods. “Keep reminding her that.”

He then looks towards me as he holds up a plate of raw steaks. “Are you hungry, Sweetheart?” He grins before tossing one towards me.

I snatch the meat from the air and quickly begin eating.

London grabs his own piece of meat and begins eating it raw while still in his human form.

Blue scrunches his nose in disgust. “How can you do that, won’t it make you sick?”

London was doing it just for show but it wouldn’t hurt him.

Smiling London doesn’t answer him he just takes another large bite of his meat.

When Blue gags I can’t help but change back into my human form to laugh out loudly in amusement.

London joins me before grunting a response to Blue’s earlier question. “We can eat pretty much anything without it hurting us whether we’re in human for or not.”

Blue nods his head but continues to watch us with a hint of disgust.

I snort and motion towards London. “Just change into your wolf so he doesn’t end up throwing up.”

London grins and then changes a moment later.

“Thank you.” Blue sighs out in relief.

“It’s Parker. My name is Parker.” I reply before changing back into my wolf form.

He grins to himself before turning his back towards us.

“I think he likes you.”
London groans into my mind as we eat together.

It was weird that we still had our connection from before but I chalked it up to loosing Gage. Things had to have reverted back to the way it had been before he had broken what London and I had had.

“He doesn’t like me or what I am, London.”
I disagree.

“Want to bet?”
London challenges.

“What are we going to bet?”
I consider.

London looks towards me with his yellow eyes for a moment before glancing towards Blue.
“If he does like you, you know what you’ll have to do.”

I nod my head once.
“Fine, then let’s see how well he does like me.”

Without warning London pounces on me and grabs my neck between his sharp teeth. He wasn’t hurting me but to anyone looking at us it would appear that he was.

I whine and in an instant Blue is standing above us with a gun drawn to London’s head. “Let her go or I will shoot, wolf.” He warns.

“I told you so.”
London boasts in my mind before letting me go.

Blue’s eyes meet mine with concern and I instantly curse my luck.

He did seem to care about me even while I was in my wolf form.

How that had happened so quickly I had no clue but London had been right, it needed to be put to an end.

A human couldn’t be with a wolf, especially not a male human to a female alpha wolf.

It was strictly forbidden.

“Are you alright, Parker?” Blue questions and then shakes his head as he turns. “You probably have no clue what I’m saying. God I’m an idiot.”

Changing into my human form I reach out for him but pull my hand back at the last moment. “You’re not an idiot.”

He turns to look at me with surprise. “So, you could hear me?”

I nod and smile bashfully. “We can understand everything you say while in our wolf forms.”

He nods and then frowns as London’s arms wrap around my waist and his chin rests on my shoulder.

“We can communicate between each other while in our wolf forms too.” London adds.

Blue nods and turns his attention away from us as his jaw ticks with anger.

“Come on, Sweetheart, we need to get some rest before we go out tonight.” London insists.

“What happens tonight?” Blue questions curiously.

“It’s a full moon.” I reply easily.

Blue grins and then frowns again as London tugs me over towards my bed and pushes me to lie down.

He then moves in behind me before wrapping his arms around me.

I couldn’t help it as my eyes remained glued to Blue’s.

It just felt too much like I was staring straight at Gage.

Snaking his hand up between us, London growls low for only me to hear before his claws dig into my skin slightly.

“Don’t do this, London. I can’t do this to him.” I beg quietly.

“You have to do this in order for him to understand his place.” London snarls before his claws dig deeper.

“Right now you’re mine.” He then commands as he pulls his claws out and then pushes me onto my back before snuggling his face into my neck.

I moan softly as his lips trail a path down my neck.

“You will be mine again, won’t you?” London whispers into my ear.

“Yes, I’ll be all yours.” I reply.

Closing my eyes I allow London to sweep me away in a wave of passion.

His lips trail over my skin as his hands find their way under my clothing.

When the door opens and then slams shut behind us London stops and then rolls onto his back. “That didn’t take as long as I thought it would.”

I snort. “You mean it didn’t last long enough.”

He chuckles and pushes up on his elbow. “I’m not going to force you to choose me. I’ve already promised you that.”

I nod my head. “I know but it felt wrong to do that to him.”

“Why did it feel wrong, am I missing something?” London asks with a raised brow.

I sigh roughly. “I felt something with him earlier.” I confess. “It was like a pull towards him or something but it couldn’t be anything since an alpha can’t have a bond with a human.”

“You need to stay away from him.” London warns.

“It’s not like I can have him as a mate, London. For one, we only ever have one true mate, and two he’s not a wolf if you’ve forgotten.” I reply.

“I haven’t forgotten, just be careful, Sweetheart.” He sighs softly before kissing my lips.

Pulling back he lies back down on the bed and closes his eyes.

“I’m going to get a shower.” I state and then get up off of the bed before moving towards the bathroom.

Closing the door slightly I begin the task of stripping out of my clothes before turning the knobs on the wall to get the water flowing in the shower.

As the water runs hot I step under the flow of water.

I close my eyes as it washes over my body.

As I run my hands through my hair I imagine Gage’s hands wrapping around my waist. I pretend that he was here with me.

I imagine his lips trailing down my neck and then as his hands moved across my body.

Moaning softly I imagine him turning me around before lifting my legs up around his waist. My mind runs away with itself as I moan again.

My eyes open again and in front of me is Blue.

The water beads off of his hair as his eyes stare deep into mine.
