77 - Elara
“It’s about time. I thought I was going to have to destroy the cave to get the two of you out.”
“What the hell?” I whisper, feeling Ben just behind my shoulder.
“She’s here.” Ben mind links me.
“Who is she?”
“The witch. Who else would put us in a blizzard and then taunt us like a child?”
He’s right, she sounds like a petulant child. Maybe fourteen or fifteen at most. The way Brianna described her I expected the witch causing all of our problems to be significantly older than me, jaded and angry due to life experience. She just sounds like a high school mean girl. That thought bolsters me.
“What do you want exactly?” I call out. I might as well try the direct route. “I mean it’s been fun having all of your tweaked out minions and little magic bundles, but we are over it and have better things to be doing.”
The wind blows the snow around us, Ben’s hand goes to my hip. I don’t have the time to decide if it’s possessive or protective.
“I want what is mine, little Alpha.” The snow seems to be whispering to us. There’s no one else here, that I can smell or see.
“What do you think I have that is yours?”
“Ah, ah, ahhh. That would be too easy and I am quite enjoying our game. You have plenty of help, you should have your answers soon.” Copyright ©️ 2025 Miss L Writes and Ember Mantel Productions
With that the wind dies completely and the snow disappears. We can see past the tree line surrounding the cave.
The woods are full of wolves and witches all staring in disbelief. I don’t get to observe for long before Ben whips me around, completely blocking my view of everyone.
“What are you doing? Let’s get out of here.” I try to push past him, but he holds tight.
“Not until you are covered up.” He breathes out, pressing his cheek to mine.
“What?” I look up at him confused. “What are you talking about? Most of these guys are my warriors. They’ve seen me after a shift plenty of times.” I avoid the word ‘naked’ purposely.
“That was before you were marked as my mate.” He pulls me closer, “Just give me this, please.”
No sooner did he ask, than a t-shirt and a pair of shorts were shoved in my face.
