Fates Hands

Chapter 11

Duncan and Adira looked over the little cabin in awe. Adira thought it was the best thing she had ever

seen. It had everything they could ever need, it had a warm and cozy feeling to it. It made her feel safe.

She did blush a little when she saw the bedroom, knowing that they would be sharing it. The thought of

sharing a bed with Duncan, surprisingly didn‘t bother her at all.

Everytime they touched there would be these little tingles along her skin, she found that she really like

them. They made her think of things, she only had read in her romance novels. She really enjoyed his

kissing, it made her weak in the knee‘s and hot at her core. His scent though is what drove her crazy.

She felt safe when he had her in his arms, she wanted to kiss him again and maybe more if Artemis

had her way. Artemis has been a little more quiet about pushing Adira, giving her more time to get used

to all the new things. All this freedom without having to be sneaky about it was sometimes

overwhelming. Lately though she found that she was looking less and less over her shoulder or

thinking things are a trap.

She looked at Duncan as he was making a fire in

“It‘s ok he is our mate he will not harm us or reject our affections.”

Adira tentatively reached her hand out and touched his shoulder.

It was the lightest of touches but Duncan could feel it all they way to his toes. He closed his eyes and

relished the feeling, she was trusting him enough to touch him. He had to calm down Apollo, telling him

to take it easy let her dictate how much for now.

Duncan did reach up to his shoulder and touch her hand, there were the sparks that drove him crazy,

he took a deep breath and they stood there like that in silence for a little while. Then she did something

that really surprised him, she moved forward till the front of her body was completely touching the back

of his, she then wrapped her arms around him and just stayed like that for another long while. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

She was showing him her trust and that she was willing to move things up another notch.

Duncan knew he had to go slow but this show of trust really made him happy.

He turned into her hug so they were facing each

other, he wrapped his arms around her in another hug. The sparks amped up and she let out a little

moan of pleasure, it was almost his undoing. He pulled back slowly and returned to getting a fire

going.

Adira stood there for a little bit unsure of what just happened but decided she liked it.

Duncan decided to make some conversation to keep things a little more toned down.

“So my little wolf, how did you get wolfsbane in your system?”

“I am not sure when it first happend, I think it was a gradual thing so I wouldn‘t notice. It was in the food

I was stealing from the kitchen. I knew that it had become too easy. One night though it got really bad

for Artemis, I stopped going to the kitchen for food after that.”

“When I went to school I would get us some breakfast and lunch and that is where I would eat my

meals.”

“When I was old enough I got a job at the hotel where we met, it at first didn‘t pay that much

.”

“Artemis and I pretended to still be weak, we never shifted unless we really needed to and never where

they could see us. Staying away from Alpha Micheal wasn‘t easy, he is really a creeper. I learned that

he didn‘t like the end of town where I worked, the woods behind that hotel was almost never used and

if it was it was by lower ranking wolves.”

“He did though rent rooms there and always made sure that it was in a section I was assigned to. He

would have girl‘s with him and sometimes my father too. They would drink a ton of really nasty smelling

alcohol, what ever it was it came in jars like the one you can things in.”

“One night just as I was almost done with my shift they called the desk and requested more towels and

sheets. Five minutes just five minutes and I would of been out of there and never seen nor experienced

what they were doing. No, I have five minutes left of my shift, so up I went to their room with sheets and

towels.”

“I knocked on the door, “Housekeeping.” I

didn‘t say it too loud I really didn‘t want them to hear me, it is hotel policy that if you request service and

then don‘t answer the door, then that service can be denied.”

Duncan could see she was starting to shake and tense up, he put his arms around her and sat her

down on the couch in his lap. She didn‘t say anything just leaned back into him, like she wanted him to

keep her safe as she told the story.

“Unfortunately I heard a “Come IN!“, I opened the door and there they were, every last one of them

naked. Uncle Micheal was smirking as he reached out for the towels, looking down at his crotch were

there was a girl sucking on him. He said in a growl “that he needed extra towels for

after.

” To bad you are not working tomorrow morning, then you would have the pleasure of picking up all

these towels, I bet you would smell and lick them too. It‘s the benefit program for hotel workers.” He

winked at me and I turned to leave.

That was when my really drunk father tried to rip open the top of my uniform, the things he was saying

were horrid and nasty. I got away and ran to the front desk, reporting their behavior to the clerk. One

good thing came out

behavior to the clerk. One good thing came out of it, because that hotel is mostly for humans, Alpha

and my father were never allowed in again.

Still after that I never fully slept in my room ever again.

Duncan just held her in his arms, she leaned into him again resting her head on his chest. He tilted her

chin to look him in the eye, “I promise Adira that will never happen to you ever again. I will kill anyone

who lays a hand on you ever again.” He bent down and kissed her lightly on the lips.

It wasn‘t ment to be passionate, only show her that he will protect her always. The fire inside them both

took it as an invitation as she responded he made the kiss deeper as she started moaning in pleasure.

He pulled back from the kiss before it got out of hand, if that were to happen again though he wasn‘t so

sure he would be strong enough to resist the temptation.

She moved and lay down on the couch with her head in his lap while he stroked her hair

absentmindedly.

He thought back to his meeting with the King....

“Duncan if you can find me proof, definitive proof. I will give you full carte blanch‘ over their punishment,

so as long as you let not one guilty party left alive. Except the leaders of this shit organization, I want

you to bring them before me so I can punish them personally. As for the innocent bring them to my

territory, then burn that whole area to the ground.”

At first he thought that the kings orders were a bit harsh, the more he finds out though, the more he

thinks about it, it isn‘t harsh enough.

He looked down at his mate, he loved the name that her wolf gave her. Thinking that tomorrow they

were going to go for a run together so Apollo and Artemis could get to know each other better. He told

Apollo not to do anything stupid and scare them away.

Apollo spoke up...“My mate is not scarred as yours is, Adira took the brunt of the abuse so Artemis

didn‘t go crazy. I think that was their goal, to make Artemis lose her sanity thus influenceing Adira to do

their bidding.”

“It‘s a really shitty thing to do, if you make your wolf go crazy they will start killing anything and

everything or they will commit suicide. Then to try to poison her with wolfsbane to weaken them makes

me think this isn‘t their first time

influenceing Adira to do their bidding.”

“It‘s a really shitty thing to do, if you make your wolf go crazy they will start killing anything and

everything or they will commit suicide. Then to try to poison her with wolfsbane to weaken them makes

me think this isn‘t their first time doing this sort of thing.”

Both Duncan and Apollo had to stop for a deep calming breath because they were starting to get killing

mad. He hoped the King was really sadistic with their punishment. He also hoped that the King would

let him help or at least watch.
