Shadows from the Past - Book 2 of To Be Claimed By Her

Chapter 16

Nate

I shook my head, trying to clear my mind and reach out to Kota and Luke, but Finn was silent. I heard a whimpering sound next to me and looked up to see a wolf-like female, crawling closer. I tilted my head and tried to talk, but only made a growling noise. What the fuck? I looked down and realized I wasn't in human form, but I also didn't really look like my wolf. What the hell was going on here?

"Welcome Nathan," a voice said from the shadows. "Cerkrin's venom worked quite quickly on you. Lucian is still transitioning, but I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before he fully switches like you."

What are you talking about? I roared, but again, no human sound came out, only growls and barks.

A large demonic-looking creature walked from the shadows and chuckled, "No use Nathan. You're a hybrid now - part werewolf, part hellhound, and your humanity is quickly receding. Before long, you won't even remember being a man at all. You and Luke will join this pack and live the remainder of your lives as hounds and in my service." He came closer and I snarled. When he snapped his fingers though, I found myself lowering my head in submission despite still snarling. He let out a loud laugh, "Ironic, isn't it? All those years you chased me and now that you've found me, you are powerless to refuse my command."

I looked up, my mind swirling with confusion. His grin broadened, and he spoke. "Let me formally introduce myself, Nathan. I'm Deimos, but you knew me as Volto, and you, my boy, are now my servant, just like the rest of your family will be sooner or later. As for your former wife, she will be my personal pet and hopelessly addicted to me soon. Now, be a good boy and let this poor female have some attention," he chucked and walked away as the female came closer.

I backed up until she nuzzled my neck, then my mind began to feel hazy. The last thing I remember was crying out in my mind for Eveleen, Luke, and Kota. But the last thing I heard was a mournful howl - my own howl, and then darkness.

Eveleen

I felt strong arms around me and for a brief moment, I allowed myself to believe I was safe and back in my husband's arms. That moment was shattered when the creature I had once known as Owen growled and shifted my hips, "You smell good, human." I let out a gasp that quickly turned into a moan when he pulled me down onto his engorged cock. "Mmm, that's it, little human, ride me," he groaned as his claws dug into my hips. I couldn't resist him and found myself grinding down, my hands on his chest as I tried to take him deeper with each thrust.

"Please," I begged. My senses were overwhelmed by his every move. His cock seemed to pulse as it pumped inside of me, almost as if it could curve and move of its own accord. He pulled my mouth to his and pressed his tongue between my lips.

"You are mine now," he breathed into my ear. "I am your Master, little human. Say it."

I groaned as his fangs sank into my neck and he drank from me. A myriad of lights exploded behind my eyelids as I responded breathlessly, "I am yours."

Something happened.

At that moment, I felt the bond shift and twist to something much darker. His bond overpowered my will, wrapping it like a steel cage, bending me to his desires.

His eyes met mine and he chuckled, "I own your very soul now my little human. When I call for you, you will come."

I felt my body and soul agree to his command as I whispered, "Yes, Master." He chuckled and captured my lips with his once again as his thrusts became frenzied. My body was vibrating with desire for him.
