"How long do we have to keep this bitch?" The shrill voice wakes me up.

My ears are ringing but I hear it. There are so many unfamiliar voices. One…two…four…no, more than that. Female wolves.

"Until Gabriel agrees, duh."

Gabriel. My poor amorous mate. He has caused allot of hurt with his past but I can not blame him fully. No one told these she-wolves to  fall for an unmated male, no one told them to get attached or to harbor a grudge. To become obsessed. This was on their heads too.

"What if she isn't worth it? What if he refuses us."

"He won't. They haven't completed the mating." One scoffs.

That one I recognize. Suddenly what happened comes back to me. I was kidnapped by a group of Gabriel’s conquests who felt less than happy that he had a mate. I suppress a growl. They are trying to use me against him.

"You are kidding right? He is a whore, why would he wait?"

The sounds of surprise fill the silence before the female voices begin to buzz again. Even in another room these women are loud, obnoxiously so. Their voices carry an unknown distance, the only thing I am sure of is I am not alone in this place.

"What about the monster? If we hurt her aren't we dead?"

My ears perk. What monster? What are these she-wolves on about? I can hear the fear in the females voice and smell it as it wafts into the room.

"We will avoid it. We did this to rid the world of that devil man, nothing else matters. Gabriel will suffer just as we have."

"Alpha Christian won't let this stand. Do we…?"

"We won't need to, once we kill the little bitch both Alpha's will crumble. We will be long gone before Christian goes on his rampage."

"The monster can't love her, don't worry."

"So we stick with the plan. Has he contacted you?"

"He is ready for us, our accommodations await once we finish here. Then he will send in his men to clean up any loose ends. The Shadow Hunters won't be bothered with us."

Who is he? My muscles twitch but I can't seem to move much. I feel slow, heavy, dull.

"Good. So what first?"

"We make her suffer. We film it and send it straight to Gabriel. Then we wait."

"I can handle that, right?" The voice is too eager, bloodlust tinging her words.

My shoulders aches as I try to adjust my position only to find my hands bound above my head. They must have drugged me heavily. I feel sore in spots that were fine before and can only imagine what care they have taken with me.

They want our mate. My wolf grunts out.

They won't get him. Our mates are not stupid. I don’t even think about it but I am confident in my answer. Our mates won't fall for these scheming she solves tricks.

The scraping of feet on stairs can be heard coming closer to this place but I can't help the anger that swells inside me. These females touched what was mine, strike one. They didn’t accept his rejection, strike two. And now they were trying to get him to come back by force, strike three.

These girls were going to get what was coming to them. I just need to wait for the right time.

A door opens somewhere and I can only assume it is for this room as the heavy footsteps come closer. Time for us to fight for our mates once more. I won't let these girls have their way.
