Chapter Eight

“The road to happiness is always under construction. But no worries, my SUV has four wheel drive. Let’s rock this.” — Maya O’Connell, Prima of the Ridgeville Pride and woman who is determined to have her happily ever after, damn it.

Millie woke slowly, climbing from the depth of her sleep and toward the light of day. Her body gradually came to life, shifting of its own volition as she struggled for consciousness. Unfamiliar aches and pains invaded her. The muscles in her arms throbbed and her neck hurt as if it’d been strained. A flicker of a memory shot across her mind… A flash of metal… dripping fangs?

A stabbing ache came from below her collar bone, and she brought her hand to the spot. Swollen. Two raised bumps just over two inches apart. Not big enough to be a mating bit from Wyatt, which meant…

Which meant something had bitten her again. She flipped through her memory, searching for who and how, but she came up blank. Nothing.

She shifted again, groaning with the effort, and then a warm hand pulled her fingers from her wound while the other hand brushed the hair from her face.

“Shh, Bethy. I’ve got you. You’re safe.”

When hadn’t she been safe?

Millie forced her eyes open, demanded her body respond, and her lids parted. She blinked against the bright lights, but kept her focus on her mate. “Wyatt?”

“Hey, sweetheart.” Worried filled his features. “How are you feeling?”

She furrowed her brow. “I hurt. My arms, legs.” She brought her other hand to the wounds on her chest. “What happened?”

“You don’t remember?”

“No, I,” she furrowed her brow and thought back. “We were at your house. Alex called?” At his nod, she continued piecing together the snippets in her mind. “I went onto the back deck while you talked to him and… Maya called?” Another nod. “I don’t-I don’t remember much after that. I hurt.” She did recall that. Pain, so much pain. “A lot.”

“Nothing else?”

She shook her head. “No, should I?”

Wyatt’s shoulders slumped, and he turned his attention from her which finally brought her focus on her location.

Bars. A long row of bars encased them, holding them captive in a large cage. The light glinted off the metal, each one catching her eye as her gaze shifted.

“Wyatt?” Panic threatened her, and she fought for calm while she prepared to fight back the cat and her power combined.

Except… they were gone. The dark cloud didn’t lurk in its usual corner, and the cat was different. Present but muted and silent in its space, not reacting to their captivity.

Too bad the human part of Millie wasn’t as calm.

“Wyatt?” She pushed his hands away and fought her coverings. Blankets were wrapped around her, holding her captive, and she battled the fabric.

With a thought, her claws formed, yet she didn’t feel the overpowering surge of her cat wrenching control. No, it was as if the animal lent a hand changing a tire instead of stealing a car.

Ideas of slashing through her sheets vanished with the appearance of her claws.
