The Gift chronicles

Book 1 Chapter 6

 I stirred, trying to move my body.

It felt like I was being carried in someone's arms.

Wtf happened? My throat hurt, and my eyelids were so heavy I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes.

I inhaled deeply, and was hit with a delicious smelling combination of mint and pine trees, which I recognized as Alpha Cain.

Suddenly, my memory rushed back to me.

I struggled in the thick arms of Alpha Cain, still too injured to really put up much of a fight.

He really did a number on me with all of that choking.

I wasn't mad at him for choking me to the point of passing out.

If I wasn't his mate, he would have killed me for not submitting.

He wasn't pulling his punches just because I was a mate, or just because I was a girl.

Ina way, I was kind of grateful, because I certainly wasn't going to be pulling any of my punches either.

His arms tightened around me even more, and I couldn't release myself from his grip.

I could feel myself starting to pass out again, and I briefly wondered if he drugged me.

"Sleep, mate.” For the one and only time, I listened to him.

When I woke up, I was still in the muscular arms of the Blood Alpha.

Whatever he drugged me with must have worn off, because I could open my eyes and move my limbs a little bit better.

I opened my eyes, and was surprised to see that I was back in the Pack House.

Alpha Cain had me sitting on his lap, and he still was cradling me like a fucking baby.
