Sacrifice of Love

Please tell me youre just fat, because I cant imagine why the wolves would let you procreate. Lorelle was looking at Jen like she was slime on her shoe that she was trying to figure out how to wipe off.
Jen let out a low threatening laugh as she stood up from her spot on the couch. Oh honey, Im more than a step up from your gene pool. Considering your sister issues, and probably mommy and daddy issues, any child of yours would be the poster child for the faes new psychiatric facility. So throw me a freaking bone and keep your procreation remarks to yourself. Unless of course you would like a facelift, which I would be more than happy to assist you with. Jen gave her a toothy grin as she took a step towards her.
Lorelle raised her hand as if to strike at Jen but Elle and Alina stepped in front of her, blocking her view to the pregnant she-wolf.
It might be wise not to poke the pregnant werewolf, Cynthia snapped at the fae.
Lorelle what are you doing here? Elle asked again wanting the answer as much as she was trying to get the faes attention off of the wolves. She knew what Lorelle was capable of and if she was here and Peri was not, things could get dangerous very quickly.
Im here at the request of my employer, for lack of a better term, to get the merchandise he requires.
Give me a freaking break, Jacque growled. Are you telling me were being kidnapped? Because seriously Ive been kidnapped one too many times in my life and Im really tired of it. Cant we do something else? How about a competition of some sort? That would at least be more interesting.
Good call, Jac, Jen spoke up, kidnapping is so old school.
I have to agree, Sally said. If your boss wants to be original as a villain in todays market, he really needs to be more inventive than the run-of-the-mill kidnapping.
Lorelles eyes widened. Are they for real? she asked Elle.
Theyre just getting started, Elle smirked. Just wait, it gets worse.
Are you working for Reyaz? Alina gently pushed Elle out of the way and met the faes eyes. The set of her jaw made it clear she expected an answer.
We have an arrangement. And as it pains me to hear that you think my methods lack originality, there is something to be said for the rate of success. So Im afraid that I have to say, yes, this is me kidnapping you.
How exactly are you planning to take all of us? Cynthia asked.
Good question doc. Jen nodded and gave her a thumbs-up. But a better question would be: in what world could you possibly take on this many wolves and a fae?
Lorelle smiled and it was a smile that said she knew something they didnot, and it was an important something.
I spoke too soon didnt I? Jen asked. I hate it when I do that.
Totally takes the bad assness out of it, Jacque told her.
Im pregnant, Jacque. Im pretty much out of bad assness at this point.
Lorelle reached into a pocket in the cloak she wore and pulled out a dark stone. She held it in the palm of her hand and it began to glow red.
Why do I feel like that rock is more than just her pet rock, Earl? Jacque muttered as all their eyes locked onto the stone in the faes hand.
Elles eyes widened at the sight of it. She turned and held her hands out to the room and shouted something but Lorelle was faster. She pushed Elle back causing her to stumble and whatever protection she was attempting to cast over the females crumbled. Alina lunged for Lorelle but slammed into an invisible barrier, one much like the kind she had seen Peri conjure.
The room around them began to shimmer and shift and then suddenly it was gone and there was only darkness.
Jen attempted to reach out to Decebel as the darkness swallowed her and the others.
DECEBEL! she screamed at him tugging on the bond that was so fragile and barely there. She needed him, needed his strength and assurance that he would find her. She waited, hoping against hope that he would feel her even though he had shut down their bond. Maybe if she pushed enough, he would feel her. Maybe if she sought him out with everything inside of her, then even he wouldnt be able to keep her out.
Please B, hear me!
Jennifer? The sound of his voice in her mind, after so long without it, made her gasp and caused the ache in her chest to intensify. Whats wrong Jennifer? Whats going on?
He was angry and his anger spurred hers, pushing away the hurt and sorrow over their breaking bond.
You would know what was wrong if you hadnt severed our bond. You would have known that Lorelle showed up at Lillys house and calmly informed us that she was kidnapping us. You would have known that we have been worried sick about all of you because we havent heard a damn thing from you. Thats whats going on Decebel. Welcome to the party.
"Youve been kidnapped? he snarled and she felt a shiver run through her. Here she was being taken by a psycho, and she was getting turned on by her mates temper. Well she never claimed to be normal, why start now?
She certainly isnt inviting us over for a slumber party. So yes B, weve been kidnapped.
Can you tell me where theyre taking you?
Not so much. Shes doing that fae thing where they flash themselves.
