Untouchable by Marii Solaria

Chapter 79 - The Master "There's no escaping me, my love. Surrender." - "Surrender" by Evanesence Kiya The darkness was cold. Frigid like the midst of a snowstorm.

Someone was here, following my every move. I could not see their eyes, but I could feel them. Their heavy, foreboding presence made the hairs on the back of my neck stand erect.

"Who's here?" My shaky voice asked. No response. This was getting worse by the second. Times like this [ wish I had night-vision because I couldn't see a damn thing. Only my unsteady breathing was heard, echoing between the unseen walls.

"Scared of the dark, little Moon?" A deep, rumbling voice purred from the black. My heart almost stopped, frozen in shock. "I promise I won't bite...much." I touched the cold door behind me, trying to feel for the knob. Once located, I found that it wouldn't budge. My desperation grew the harder that I pulled. My breathing staggered and sweat glands worked overtime. "Letout!" "I won't. I just want to talk to you, my dear." Footsteps. Left, right, front, behind? The illusion of surround sound forced my fight-or-flight mode to act. I chose flight before, but the tables have turned as my body fought. But the developments bothered me. How could a human be this fast to surround me? Unless...he wasn't human. This was Nadia's mate? A coward hiding behind the darkness? Calming my staggered breathing, I shut my eyes and growled as deep and loud as I could.

"Isn't it common courtesy to see the person you're talking to? You could see me, but I can't see you. How is that fair?" "Adds to the illusion of mystery and it's fun! I can't have any fun while we chat?" "No." I snapped. "Show yourself, coward!" Something slithered past my feet, slimy and scaly. The sudden surprise madejump right into a cold body. Thick arms locked around me, the strength of this being was unmatched-he's stronger than me! His arms shuffled. One wrapped around my stomach and the other around my collarbone. He presses my back against his hard chest, trapping me.

The slithery thing wrapped around my ankles and calves. One loop around turned to four before I saw something in the darkness that paralyzedin fear.

Two glowing red eyes stilling my heart. It stared into the depths of my soul, searching for a piece to take a bite out of.

"Don't be rude, Little Moon. I'm in a good mood and ruining it would cost you and I don't to mar your lovely skin." He snarls in my ear, warm air tickling the lobe. Involuntarily, I shook in his arms. "Your scent is Intoxicating. So sweet. How many wolves grow weak in the knees from a single whiff of it?” "So, you know I'm a werewolf. What else do you know about me?" Chapter 29 The Master Chapter 79 "I know you've been through pain. You've been through torment, agony, and horror. I also know that you hold enough anger to tear the earth in two." He chuckled, his deep voice sending shards of ice to my core. "Scent carries emotion few could defect. I'm one of the lucky few that could and my, my...all those dark desires make your scent much sweeter," I'm disgusted. I felt violated! Like a worm, I tried wiggling out of his grip. But his hold only tightened. “Shhh. There's no need to fight. I will not harm you unlike speople in your past." "You know nothing about me!" "I may not know everything about you, Little Moon, but that could change." Light, feather-like touches trace the curvature of my neck, resting at my pulse. "Did you know that blood carries memory? If I wanted to know more about you, my dear, all I have to do is sink my teeth into your neck and I'll have what I need." No.

Oh. My. Goddess, He's-! "Y-you're a vampire?" I asked, my voice shaky once more. "N-Nadia toldyou're half a werewolf!" "Ah. Nadia. My mate doesn't know when to shut up, does she?" He snarled in contempt, his fingers stroking my chin. I wanted to puke. “Yes, I'm a hybrid. A werewolf and vampire, or how many like to call me, an abomination." "Why are you doing this to her?" 1 demanded, gritting my teeth in fury. "She's your mate! She loves you more. than anything and you treat her like trash?" "She is of use. She helps to take care of you and the rest of my avatars, does she not? I wouldn't throw her away like garbage! Even garbage is useful once recycled." "You're a monster." He was no different from Odessa, using Darien only for the bond. It infuriatedeven more.

"Proudly so, Little Moon." "Stop callingthat!" I tried and tried, but this bastard's hold was pure titanium. Must be that vampiric strength, and since he was a hybrid, it was the joint strength of two creatures.

Something else didn't sit right with me. Werewolves carried a particular scent. One could tell who a werewolf is just by the wolf marker in their natural smell, but he doesn't have one. Could he be lying? I took huge whiffs to be sure, but I couldn't tell..

"Sniffing to see if I have a wolf, huh?" He laughed again. "Don't waste your breath. I killed my wolf a long tago. Stupid mutt beca nuisance, always interfering in my plans. Always caring about others before himself. It annoyed me." My heart dropped and my throat went dry. He killed his woll? That's impossible. Wolves were the better half of us. They were the yin to our yang. Our best friends, confidants, and partners for life. I could not imagine living without Artemis. She is my rock. I love her so much, and to lose her would devastate me.

But to kill your wolf willingly? That's on a new level of insanity! Chapter 19 Master "How could you?" I whispered, furious. "The Moon Goddess blessed you with a wolf and you killed him?" "Never liked him. Why keep around dead weight?" The fingers that caressed my chin soon wrapped themselves around my throat, squeezing. "Don't ask questions you aren't ready to hear the answers for, Little Moon. I wouldn't want you to get nightmares on my watch." "Fine, then answer this. Why did you kidnap me?" "Simple. I need you." I felt his chin rest on the top of my head, hunching over a bit to meet my height. "The avatars I have are unique. Their powers are extraordinary, their gods certainly picked the right ones to carry out their duty. But the avatar of Selene is a rare commodity and if I see something I like, I will have it." "Oh, so I should appreciate the fact that you've been stalking me?" "I call it 'an intense observation on an individual, and we've met before." "Funny, I don't recall ever seeing you before." Yeah, Kiya, because he is covered in a cloak of mystery, you dumb bitch, I thought to myself.

"Don't think too hard, Little Moon." He pats my head condescendingly. "All will be revealed in due time." Suddenly, my head was forced to tilt to the side, exposing the left side of my neck. "All this useless chatter has built up quite an appetite, and I have my eyes on a pretty little thing in my arms." Cold kisses trailed up and down my neck, forcing a shiver through my body. Whimpering, I continued to fight. Continued to struggle. How could I escape the arms of a strong hybrid? I was supposed to be strong here, and I couldn't remove myself from this pervert! Fingers tightened around my throat again, now cutting off my oxygen supply.

"Stop. Struggling." He growled against my neck. I could feel the shaping of his teeth, followed by the growth of fangs. "I wouldn't want to accidentally tear out your throat. Can't afford to lose my prized possession." "Stop!" I shouted, panicked. "You can't do this to me!" "I won't do anything so barbaric, my Moon. Just a sip of your nectar of life and I'll let you be on your way." "I prefer all my blood in my body, thanks!" "Shhh..." His other arm forces my hips back, pressing against his flesh. "I promise it won't hurt. You just might enjoy it." "W-Who are you?"

"Who am I?" Faint growls echoed in my ear. Not the growls of a wolf, but the growls of an inhuman. I closed my eyes, forcing my mind to focus on NO something else and not the man about to sink his fangs into me. "Remember my name, my dear, because you'll be hearing it a lot in your dreams and your nightmares. My nis Osiris. Your Master."

He sunk his teeth into the supple skin of my neck. The fangs found themselves drawn to my jugular vein, piercing, and thaling my life of the like a thief in the night. My blood flowed rapidly in his mouth. Judging by the rapid gulps Osiris was taking, he took more than a measly sip he originally claimed. His arms tightened in a life-threatening hold, possessive and demanding. My world spun like a spinning top, but not from the blood loss. But from the sheer pleasure that rocketed Chapter 79 - The Master through my body. His deep guttural moans vibrated against my flesh, joyous. My legs buckled and quivered. while small, pathetic moans were heard.

From my mouth.

My body was betraying me. It was infuriating how a vampire's bite could feel so good. Osiris knew every nerve and fiber in my body and played them like a skillful guitarist. They danced under sinister strings of his crossbars.

He's the puppeteer, and I was the puppet.

As my blood continued to leave my body faster than my heart could keep up, I began sinking into my darkness, blacker than the one surrounding me. I couldn't stay awake. My body lost all the will to fight, preferring to stay in the haze of pleasure than the reality of my prison. What did this mean from now on? The red eyes in front ofdisappeared. But when I felt another pair of sharp fangs, forceful and relentless, pierce my neck was when I finally succumbed to the darkness behind my eyelids.

Osiris I shouldn't have taken so much.

Then again, did I care? She tasted exquisite, it had blessed my tongue with the finest and purest of all wine. Such power. Such magnificence flowing through her crimson essence. A simple sip sentin a whirlwind of desire, losing myself in her sweet delicious blood..

I knew for a fact that Kiya was to be mine. I would make her mine.

Through her blood, I saw her memories. All of them. Blood carries more memory than the earth's oceans, and a droplet could reveal all about a person. Poor, sweet thing. She had dealt with more than the average human. My non-existent heart pounded for the first time, for the woman unconscious in my arms.

We're kindred spirits. We've both been through hell and back and emerged stronger than our tormentors. We aren't weak. We can destroy all.

She was to never leave me!

I picked Kiya's body up, bridal style, and walked back to my seat after sealing her wound with my tongue. My sweet pet, Pepi, slithered next to me, taking refuge around my arm. I rested my little Moon on my lap, her head on my shoulder. Rubbing circles on her back, I kiss her forehead as I'd do with a lover. I'll treat her better than that Alpha ever could.
