Excerpt

Her face was bruised and bloody from the man's hands. All she wanted to do was give up, but she knew that she couldn't, not while they were still out there. A smile formed on her face as she thought of them.

The heart throb, whose eyes made her blush, and automatically think of dirty things that would make her shiver. Then there was the one one most people called sadistic. Yes when she first met him, she could agree he had scared her. Everything about him made her body weary, but isn't that how people fall in love? When everything tells you to avoid a person, doesn't it make you intrigued, and want more?

Finally she thought of her lonely, tortured animal who kept everyone in line. Who never wanted to fall in love with her. To be honest she knew none of them wanted to, but life had other plans. Life likes to mess with people, you could either fight what life had planned, or go with the flow.

As her smile appeared a frown came from the guy in front of her. "What is so funny?" He questioned as he took a knife and traced it on her knee "Hmmm what is so funny?"

The petite woman, beautiful women sitting tied up only smiled more. It didn't matter that the man was stronger than her, nor did it matter that she might not make it out of this alive. All that mattered is that she held on just until they got there.

"You are." She started to laugh, "You think that by torturing me I will tell you anything, that I will give up those that I love? If so you are dead wrong."

His voice was never warm to begin with, but up until now there was a softness in his voice. Used to get most women to give him the information he wanted, but it turned cold and chilling.

Leaning up to speak in her ear he whispered "Most people I have tortured have said the same thing, and I have broken each and everyone of them. There is nothing special about you, you will break just like the rest." With those chilling words he quit messing around, and plunged the knife into her leg.

She did not scream, instead she closed her eyes begging that she could reach her mates through the bond. Hoping they would come and save her. Right as the knife was pulled out to be used to make this young girl scream, both of them could hear the sound of bullets. Leaving two emotions in the room, one of satisfaction and happiness. The other one of terrior as he had kidnapped her.

"What's wrong, worried?" The girl grinned through the pain.

"Not in the slightest." The man turned hiding his face from her.

Before he could think of what to do the door opened. It was not opened slowly, but so hard, and fast that if it had received anymore force the door would be off it's hinges. Standing in the doorway was a man with a red suit and brown hair. The man doing the torturing tried to take off only to turn back in horror, as the man turned into a wolf and ripped him to shreds.

She didn't know who stepped in the room, but she knew they were here for her, by the way the man screamed in agony. Her back was faced to the guest so all she could do was wait. Wait for him to save her, when he stepped in front of her, her heart melted.

"Chase." It was the only word she could muster with all the pain.

He cut through her restraints, and lifted her in his arms. "Isabelle stay with me baby, I'm here just stay awake." He begged but worry set in, as his women was growing unconscious in his arms.

He was finally here, finally here to save her, but was it to late? Maybe had she never fallen in love with him, or the others she wouldn't be on the edge of death.
