Chapter Fourteen

Closing her eyes, Erica drew the healing energy within her to the fore, molding it into the form she needed to send her mates into a deeper sleep. She knew that if she attempted to leave, they would notice immediately and stop her. With a heavy heart, Erica pushed the energy from her. The light that came from within her was unavoidable, and she heard both her mates wake and sit up beside her.

“What the hell?” Leo mumbled. Erica knew he was already feeling and most likely trying to fight the effects. It would be in vain.

“Erica?” Ben asked gently at the same time, his eyes wide before both of them surrendered to the effects of the energy she fed them. They fell back onto the mattress, caught in a deep sleep.

Sobbing quietly, Erica scrambled off the bed. She dragged on her clothes and secured her sheathed sword to her back, all the time avoiding looking at her men. Her resolve was weak where they were concerned, and she knew that if she allowed her gaze to linger she would not have the courage to do what was needed. Only when she was dressed did she come back to the bed. Wiping the tears from her face, she leaned in and pressed a kiss to Ben’s lips before circling the bed to kiss Leo. As goodbyes went, it was pretty damn pathetic, but it was all she could allow.

“Forgive me, my loves,” she whispered from the doorway. Then she stepped into the hallway. Despite the fact that the house was quiet, Erica knew there would no doubt be men stationed on guard around it, especially considering the message Alefric had sent that afternoon.

Walking quietly downstairs, Erica stepped into the almost deserted kitchen. Only one wolf sat at the counter, drinking a steaming cup of coffee.

“Donovan, what’s keeping you up at night?” Erica stepped into the kitchen but stood so that she was between him and the back door.

Donovan looked at her with curiosity. “Hell, princess, there’s a whole lot of shit that keeps me awake at night. But what is driving my curiosity at the moment is wondering if you think you really stand a chance to get out that door, before I’m on you.”

Erica held the man’s gaze. People had been attempting to intimidate her most of her life, and she had yet to allow anyone to succeed. “Oh, I’d give myself a fair chance, Beta. And just because we’re having a conversation, and asking and answering questions nice and friendly like, I feel the need to ask, why would you care? If my intention after walking into the kitchen tonight was to in fact go out that door, why would you feel like you needed to stop me?”

Erica was mildly surprised at his hate-filled sneer. “So the princess is going to run. What a fucking surprise. Let me guess, you’re going to run as far and as fast as your fucking legs can carry you from the war that is coming.
