Chapter Fourteen

Third time was a charm, apparently.

Bishop pinched a spot on the creature’s shoulder that made the growly man’s chubby knees buckle and a whimper come from his mouth. “Oh, you can speak. Finally, we found one.”

“Um…” I squirmed, once again feeling like the dummy of the group. “What exactly did we trap here?”

The round-faced man cocked his head and jerked on the ground. He let out a growl that made the concrete beneath me rumble. “I am troll.”

Bishop pinched harder, making the troll’s eyes roll back in his head. “Who sent you? Who sent you to attack our mate?”

A low chuckle came from the troll. Bishop put his hand around its meaty throat and squeezed lightly. Gods, all of us were violent lately.

Especially me.

I moved forward, walking up to the troll who was easily twice my size in girth and height but when I did, his eyes widened, and he visibly shook. He was scared. Of me.

“Who is after me?” I asked, using my best commanding voice. It wasn’t much.

“There is someone in power, one we don’t see but who hands down orders. We were to take you alive and kill your mates.”

My fists balled. The audacity of these people, whoever the fuck they were, was appalling. If I was so dangerous, how did they think they were going to kill my mates and simply pluck me out of my life?

“Who is that person?”

The troll grunted. “Your uncle, of course. He is the master of all of these plans. He has one goal, to preserve the line—his line. We are all under a compulsion spell of sorts. We have to obey him. I don’t know how I’m even able to talk to you right now.”

My uncle? I knew I had an uncle, but he wasn’t the stop-by-for-Sunday-dinner type of uncle. He was more, we knew he was there but didn’t ever see him type.

I scoffed, and so did my mates. Fox stepped beside me. “Maybe your fear is trumping the compulsion. This has to be more than one person. Why is Valentina being hunted? What can she do for you and your master?”

“There is more than one master. At least, that’s what I’ve heard. There is a woman. A female who has the rage of all the suns and three powerful shifter wolves under her command. She is the executioner, so to speak.”

I shared a look with my mates. How many people exactly were after me? And how weird was it that they were like the dark side of my mates and me?

“So there’s a big person in charge and then the female henchman or henchwoman and her three rabid wolves. Now, tell me why.”

“Why what? Why they want you? It’s because of your powers, of course. You are in his line of family. The power you have inside you comes from his side of the family.” He was speaking better with every sentence. Maybe the compulsion was getting lighter?

I groaned while my mates rumbled with anger. “This is all a really fucked-up way of maintaining some kind of lineage of power.
