Chapter Twelve
Mary-Lynette's POV:
"You look beautiful," Ash whispers in my ear, his lips brushing it. Shivers go down my spine. I turn around to face him.
"You don't look too bad yourself," I muse, twining my fingers with his. He pulls me in for a quick kiss.
"Ahem," Quinn says loudly. I pull back, blushing. Ash doesn't look bothered in the least bit. I shake my head and smile at everyone.
"Let's go!" Poppy says excitedly. We all pile into the limo supplied by Thierry. When we get to the mansion, there's no one there.
"This doesn't look like Thierry's mansion," Rashel says, on the edge of her seat. Everyone's mood changes in a heartbeat. The door opens and we're "escorted" inside by gun point. We stop in a giant ball room. Ash positions himself in front of me, his expression serious.
"Welcome, everyone," a voice says. A older man steps out and looks at us all. His eyes settle on Ash, then on me behind him. I watch Ash's muscles tighten.
"Why, hello there Ash," the man says, his smile becoming slightly sadistic. Ash backs me up.
"Amelio," Ash snarls," What are you doing?"
"Your family screwed me over. Now I'm stricking back," Amelio says, eying me.
"My father was the one that killed your family, not me!" Ash growls, backing me farther away.
"That is true but I can't get to your father because that's already been taken care of. I'll have to do the next best thing. My mate is dead because of your family. I'm simply returning the favor," Someone grips my arm roughly, dragging me away from Ash. He turns and leaps for me. Two figures tackle him. That's when the fighting begins.
Jez and Rashel are crazy awesome fighters. Quinn and Ash are too. Morgead fights with an almost terrifying sense of ease. Poppy and James fight as a team, both making up for the other in how they fight. They I hear a shriek that pierces my heart.
I see Quinn on the ground and Rashel fighting her way to him. She's practically killing them with one touch. It's absolutely terrifying.
"Poppy, James! Get Quin and Rashel out of here!" Ash yells, fighting people with quick percision.
James and Poppy nod. They manage to escape thought I'm no sure how. My captor grips my arm tighter. His grip is almost too tight. He's close to breaking my arm. I can't help but yelp in pain.
"Let her go!" Ash yells, running towards me. The man rushs me to Amelio and hands me over.
"Hello my dear. I will offer you two choices. Either you can live as a sort of replacement for my mate or you can die with your friends," Amelio says, watching me creepily.
"There is no choice then. I will not lose my friends," I growl.
"Such a waste," he sighs, his hand wraps around my throat. I can't breathe. My throat burns as he lifts me off my feet. Everything begins growing faint. Ash yells something unintelligble and I can feel fear and anger raging through the bond. The world fades to gray.
