Wolves - Ash Faith (best fiction books to read txt) 📗

but then again, they controlled all of the supernatural beings from what I’d heard. “If you won’t trust us we shall leave and send no replacements, you take what the court gives and speak of no more or less” I was shocked by his voice, it was so… my thoughts wandered as I took him in fully up close. His hair was almost jet black, with a few streaks of light brown that struck my interest, it was sat upon his head with a small amount of grease holding it in place. My eyes started to move down ignoring the exchange going on between him and Randy, I focused on his eyes – they were a light purple colour that was so beautiful it reminded me of expensive jewels that were worth way more than my life – and his jawline, oh god his jawline, it was sharp enough, you could cut diamonds on it. His limps plump and teasing as he talked and his neck muscles tense as he ground his teeth while he thought. Suddenly as I was about to get to some of the best parts his eyes turned to meet mine “And who would this be?” oh shit, he was talking to me I bounced my eyes back to his and off of his amazingly obvious abs and biceps. “Lana” I offered before Randy could. That traitor would not be allowed to say my name again. He gave me the same slow treatment of wandering thoughts and eyes. Randy began to speak to me, I turned my head to him.
“Wolf, the only way I can trust these other wolves, is if you give your thoughts.” Randy said, well… my thoughts, I wouldn’t mind doing more than just trusting him, I’ll trust his hands and… I broke myself off, realising I was being stupid and selfish eyeing off this guy while my friend could be in pain. ‘Trust them, they are what we have and we must take what we can get” Randy nodded and walked off to go find Kade. Who I believe was still around the corner after my talking to. Woops. Lost in my thoughts I didn’t realise the beautiful hunk still standing right in front of me, staring. “Um… Can I help you?” I obviously broke his train of thought as his eyes met back at mine, “Yes, actually. Is there anywhere private? I must understand why a wolf is amongst vampires.” He spoke softly, as if to not have anyone else listen but me.

“I. Uhm. Sure, follow me” the only place I knew was Jay’s bedroom, that was hopefully not blood-ridden or completely destroyed on this level. I started to go off to the second corner. I felt him almost right behind me, I began to take in his scent. It was like nothing I’d ever smelled before, like a fresh bakery in the morning but with extra sweetness to it. Before I realised I’d been walking so fast I was at Jay’s bedroom door I grabbed at the handle but it wouldn’t move. “shit” I whispered to myself, cursing my stupidity as I’d forgotten about how the door was still locked from when I locked Jay out.

“Problem” the deep voice made me jump as I’d forgotten he was right behind me.

“It’s locked, I’ll try to find a key or something...” I was about to start walking off to find a key when a strong hand landed softly on my shoulder and turned me around, holy god, he was centimetres from my face and his amethyst eyes met mine. “No need” He whispered as he maintained eye contact with me and kicked the door down with ease, it snapped in half. That. Was. Awesome. He gestured for me to go in first and I did without complaint. “You know, without the door there’s not a whole lot of privacy, but oh well “I said, as I tried to maintain focus on his eyes and nowhere else. “that’s fine”

I sat down on the silk bed, and he swiftly followed. “What did you want to-“

“Talk about? Many things” he finished my sentence as if he could read my mind, but surely he couldn’t otherwise he would’ve heard a few things he didn’t need to.

“Lana, what are you doing in the Prince of Vampires kingdom lair?” he asked,

“Hold up” I stopped his questioning, there was no way I was going to answer him without answers of my own. “Before you ask me anything. I need to know your name first” I said smoothly as I relaxed my body, not allowing him to seem any more powerful over me than he must already feel.

He laughed. And it was beautiful. “Fine, I’m Ace” He held out his hand, I hesitantly put out mine.

“Lana, as you know already” I retreated my hand in fear that it would go elsewhere.

“So Lana, once again, Why are you here?” the real question was what could I and couldn’t I say to this guy, if he worked for the supernatural government thingy, then it probably isn’t smart to tell him everything.

“It’s hard to explain.” I couldn’t figure out how I could tell him anything without giving away more than I should, I started to feel anxious but suddenly there was a knock at the door, well, used to be a door. Jay stood, arms crossed and clear jealousy on his face. You’ve got to be kidding me. “The Prince and his Commander would like to see you.” He squinted his eyes and they began to glow green. “Immediately” the tense air was broken up by Ace’s beautiful laughter, he was clearly amused by the vamp despite his attempt.

“Sure thing” Ace then walked out of the room, bumping shoulders with Jay clearly pissing him off even more as his eyes became a furious green. I couldn’t help but watch Ace on his way out, hate to have him go but love to watch him leave. I’d never thought an ass could be so good on a man but I was apparently wrong. As the last trace of him left my eyes were met with Jay’s flaming green ones as he used his vamp speed to appear right in front of me. “What in the hell was that” he said furiously, grinding his teeth as he waited for an answer.

“What? Do you think you own me or something?” I laughed at his jealousy. For a second it looked like he was even going to say yes. Hah! No one controls me honey.

“Do you know what they’re going to talk about?” I asked him, changing the subject before he attempted something stupid.

“The plan. Most likely. And about you.” His eyes started to change back to normal as he decided it was a good time to take in my body. “Would you like another shirt?” he grinned as reality hit me that the shirt was practically ripped. The only piece, thankfully, intact being the part covering my boobs.

I cursed once again at my stupidity. “Yes, please. Also, I did kind of save your life back there so could you do me a massive favour?” Jay was already handing me another black fitted tee. “Whatever you need”
“I need a bra” his eyes seemed to sparkle, and his thoughts obviously elsewhere imagining something sick. “Now.” I stopped his little daydream and he nodded and ran off like a man on a mission. I realised I hadn’t even told him my size, but it was probably for the best considering the amount of time the idiot spent staring at them. I sighed as I turned around so that anyone passing through the empty hole of a doorway wouldn’t see anything special. I turned back around to see Ace back in the doorway, leaning against the doorframe. “I thought you were talking with the ‘Prince and his Commander’” I said, trying to hide my shock and embarrassment as I wondered how long he’d been there.

“Already finished that. We are waiting on you, we leave soon.” He spoke bluntly

“No more questions for me anymore?” I was slightly disappointed,

“I’ve had them answered by the vamps.”

“How much do you know?” my curiosity over took me, I wanted to know just how much they’d explained of me.

“They said you were special, but wouldn’t say much of how. They also explained the plan to me, but” He came and sat back next to me. “You must understand that they want to betray you”

“Yeah, I already figured. But you telling me this, I can’t figure out”

“Because I want to help you, and in exchange, you help me.” this could be my way out of this.

“I accept, but, what exactly am I helping you with?”

“I’m looking for a man. An alpha. Possibly the same one who attempted kidnapping of a special girl, who in turn, destroyed his elite team without her wolf.” Shit, shit, shit, shit,shit. Alarms were going off in my head.

“I wouldn’t know what you’re talking abo-“ He started laughing, I was such a bad liar.

“I forgot to mention. Her name is Lana” Ace suddenly became very serious “And I’m sure she’s right in front of me. With a craving of freedom.”

It was like he had read my mind, all I’d wanted was for people to stop trying to control me. and this was my ticket. Ace was my ticket. I spat on my hand and handed it out for him to shake, he looked confused.

“We’ll make it a deal. The Good Ol’ way” I said staring deeply into his eyes. He took a moment but soon joined me by spitting in his hand and shaking it.

“Now, get ready, and follow my lead before you know who’s, otherwise my plan won’t work” he assured,

“On a few certain conditions” I said, surprising him that I wouldn’t just follow his lead. “You have no control over me or my actions. If I do something out of your ‘plan’ it is for the better, and if you want it to ‘work’ you must improvise. It’s not that hard” he took in and digested my conditions.

“Fine.” He grumbled, obviously displeased that I didn’t just follow him like his 5 little pack members outside. Someone cleared their throat, if it wasn’t obvious before Jay peaked his head in the room, his eyes green once again.

“You really need to learn some self-control, vamp” Ace said venomously at Jay. The tension and testosterone in the room amped up. “You should go hang with your fellow dogs” within moments Ace was at Jay’s throat. Oh shit, what have I done.

“Enough, Jay I need my… uh, gift. And Ace, I’ll be ready to leave in a minute. Both of you can leave the room now, I need some privacy for a moment.” They both looked at me slightly apologetically then darted back with hatred towards each other. Ace dropped Jay, smoothed his leather jacket over, winked at me and left. He winked at me. I felt heat in my cheeks. Jay shot darts at me but said nothing, dropping a small bag on the bedside table and slowly went to walk out.

“Thank you, Jay” I felt bad for the guy, despite how much of an idiot he was. He stopped for a moment, grumbled something and put his head back down and left. I grabbed the bag and quickly but the bra on from under my shirt. It was a nice blue sports bra but it was slightly smaller than my bras. Slightly uncomfortable but made my boobs look pretty good so I guess it was worth it. I gotta hand it to Jay, he did good for a possible dumbass.

Prepare for the worst my wolf reminded me, we’re about to go to battle, focus on the prize. She was right, I had to remember Julie. The only reason I was going with these guys in the first place.

As I walked out to find Ace’s pack and The Prince along with Randy and a couple of the uninjured guards, I prayed
