Starla felt her sister’s arms go around her, but her body couldn’t move.Her heart beat too fast.She tried to move, to break free from the fucker’s spell or whatever he’d done that held her captive.It was as if he’d enclosed her in stone.
The entire room stood unmoving, except for her sister Aurora.Aurora’s mouth opened and closed, horror mirrored what Starla assumed matched her own face.
“What did you do, Savage?”Aurora yelled, holding onto Starla’s arms as she glared over her shoulder at the male, who must be named Savage.Starla thought the name fit the beast.
Savage had one hand on his chest, the other hung in a loose fist at his side.“How are you able to break from my order?”
“Release my sister at once, Savage, or so help me I will...I’ll hurt you,” she promised, ignoring his question.
Starla wanted to cheer and tell her sister to kick the male in the nuts, but then she remembered who the male had to be.He was the one Garrison brought her to...to be his blood slave.Oh god.He’s a vampire for crying out loud.
“Vita Mea, I have only halted their ability to make foolish moves that could set me off.Right now, my emotions are a little...unpredictable.”
Aurora glared at him, then motioned toward Starla.“Release her, right fucking now.”
“I will release her, but not the others for now.”
The stiffness left Starla as quickly as it hit her.She couldn’t control the shiver that went from her head to her toes as all sensation returned to her limbs.Her head snapped up.
“Eat a bag of dicks, asshole,” Starla snarled, flipping Savage the bird with both hands.
Savage’s eyes widened, and then his head tipped back as he laughed.She narrowed her eyes, ignoring the way her sister seemed to melt at the male’s laughter.
“Little girl, I’ve eaten a lot of things, but a dick has never been one of them.Of course, I could be persuaded to add a certain—”
Aurora crossed the several feet separating them, her hand covering his lips before he could finish what she was sure was a suggestion her sister would be embarrassed to have come out of his mouth.
“I will cut you,” Aurora warned.
His eyes glittered in the bright room.Ugh, Starla wanted to roll her eyes at the duo, but she was also happy her sister seemed to have found her mate.
“Ah, sis?Do you two need a room?”
“You make me lose my head,” Aurora groaned, taking a step away from Savage.
“That makes two of us,” he agreed.
Savage sighed and ran his hand through his hair.
“Starla, this is Savage.Ah, this is...”
“I am Savage Rossi.This is my territory, and your sister is mine, little one.As such, you are under my protection as well.”
Starla’s mouth dropped open and snapped shut.“Um, say that again?First of all, buddy, I refuse to be a sister wife.Second of all, this is not an episode of Wicked Mormon Wives or some shit.”Starla growled, shocked her sister would think it was okay to share.
Aurora’s eyes widened, and then she laughed.
Starla pointed her finger at Aurora.“Don’t you dare tell me you’re good with sharing a mate with me, Aurora.That is so not happening.I’m not even eighteen.Well, technically, I’ll be eighteen in half an hour if you go by when the clock strikes midnight, but whatever.I’m still not sharing a mate, man, hubby, dick, or any other male part with you or any female, period.”
By the end of her tirade, her chest heaved so hard Starla thought she would hyperventilate.
Aurora moved toward her slowly, both arms extended.“Starla, I have no intention of sharing a mate with you or anyone, either.I am a strictly no-share kind of female, too.I think that’s part of our DNA, Biddy Bee.Calm down.”
“Don’t tell me to calm the fuck down when he literally just said that because he claimed you as his, then I was automatically his, too,” she snarled.
Aurora gasped as Starla’s hands became covered by fur and claws.Starla tried to speak, but inside her mouth, her canines became much more pronounced like those of her wolf, making it more challenging.
“Um, Savage, I think my sister is about to undergo her first shift.”
