* I paced the old abandoned church on the outskirts of Xavier Aureiux’s land. * Why aren't we just bursting into that house and getting my mate back? * Mongolia turned her face flashing with frustration at having to explain it to me again. * Because there are spells protecting that manor and we have to try to unbind them. The male who cast them is a strong one, but we sisters are stronger. * Madelina walked through the church, a candle flickering in her hands, the walls blackening with a dark shadow. She was a strange one as she had some type of white paint dotting her dark skin and wearing some sort of wrag wrap on her head. I knew it had a name, but at the moment I couldn't recall it. I held my emotions tightly to my soul. I was pissed at the three sisters and their not helping to get my mate out of that house. * Relax wolf child...she's safe. I see her with Miriam, but not Miriam. He fools her..tricks her. * Madelina’s eyes turned white as she was locked into her vision. I jumped as she yelled out. * Josiah! You will not keep me out for long. * I frowned as I watched and Mongolia placed her palm on my arm and I jerked at what I saw. My mate sitting at a table, her grandmother across from her and Xavier sitting at the head of the table. Sadie laughed at something her grandmother said. * Relax. It's an illusion. Josiah is a master voodoo witch doctor but he's not of pure heart. He wears darkness inside. * Madelina waved her candle. * Release Miriam, Josiah. Release our cousin. Release her and we won't kill you. * I growled. * Like hell? I want my mate returned and whoever responsible dead. * Mongolia shook her head. * You think with your love for the female. Xavier has cast her in the shadows. She doesn't know who you are. * I roared. * You're wrong. She knows me. Nothing will break our bond. Nothing. I feel that truth in here. * I patted my chest hard. * My mate may be under a spell, but once she's back with me….* my voice broke. She'd remember me..she would. She'd have too or I wouldn't survive. I wouldn't want to..I'd lived two hundred years just living, never loving, until the day my sweet Sadie had walked into Skye Blue on open Mic night and caught my eye. The LeFebvre sisters were wrong. She'd remember me and come back to me willingly. I watched as my mate followed Xavier into a big bedroom suite. Anger and jealousy rising fast within my blood. I shoved away from the sisters, breaking the connection to the vision. I didn't want to see anymore. I shoved outside of the church and crunched and slogged my way through the woods and swamp. I stopped short at the border that ran toward the mansion. Something powerful stopped my approach and I cried out as I stumbled back. I ran right into a tall black male with a top hat, silvery white paint smeared across his face and glowing red eyes. I jerked back and he snarled.* The Rougarou shows his face, at last. * I held my stance, holding up my head high, I stepped forward. * I'm getting my mate back. * He smiled, showing off a good tooth. * I don't agree. She belonged to ol' Xavier long time. Wore his brand first. You sure you can get her back? * I growled. * I know I can. * He stepped aside and motioned his arm dramatically. * By all means...go. It's your hell. * I snarled. * No worse than what I've already been through.. * I started forward when Monique dropped from a tree and squatted at the base. Her eyes glowing blue with her magic. * No Tanner. Not yet..its a trap. * I stopped moving and looked at her. * Madelina stopped the seduction. He can't touch her now. * Josiah snarled at hearing those words, his hands went to his head and he seemed to be having a conversation inside his mind. * No. * I moved to Monique's side and she grabbed my hand. * Tell Xavier we're here and we want both Miriam and Sadie and we aren't leaving till we get them both. His days are numbered. * Then we faded into darkness and came back to the light inside the old church. Mongolia met my eyes before looking at us all as a whole. * Prepare. We go tonight.
