hapter 262 – War

Sinclair

God damn it, I think, looking around at the hastily set–up headquarters that looks like a little more than a rickety table surrounded by anxious wolves. If this isn’t hell, then I don’t know what is. We arrived at the edge of the capital days ago and set up here, in an abandoned warehouse that Damon didn’t bother protecting because it’s not worth his time.

A mistake, I think, one of many that he’s making. The fact is that Damon made a huge misstep in releasing the secret of our being to the humans he expected, I think, to cow them with fear, to take control of their resources and use them against mine. What he didn’t expect was that the humans would entrench and fight back. And now, his army is fighting on two fronts – against the humans and against me – stretched thin. Being pulled in two directions is making him miss things, like this warehouse at the edge of his territory, which we were able to sneak into and set up shop.

Still, though, looking around, it’s nothing like the quality of accommodation that I’m used to. The walls are crumbling, the ceiling has fallen in a few places, and what rusted rafters are left look ready to fall down at any moment. My wolf grumbles within me, pacing unhappily.

My mind is on her every minute my beautiful mate, with her rose–gold hair and that troublesome smirk. God, what I could do to those smirking lips if she were here now with that teasing mouth. I’d use my tongue to part those lips, slip inside. I’d holding her against every inch of me while I tasted her, feeling her moan reverberate in my own mouth…

I press my eyes tightly shut, forcing my mind back to the subject at hand and gritting my teeth almost to dust as I dismiss these thoughts of what I’m going to do to my mate the moment I have her in my arms again. This is better, at least, than the thoughts of what can go wrong with her not by my side at every moment, but –
