Mine for Eternity [Council Enforcers] (Siren Publishing Classic)
stepped in the room, but he couldn’t stop himself from looking forward to it.
Ben had first smelled her scent through an open window when he was setting the charges at Percival’s estate. He had frozen in his tracks and sniffed deeper to make sure of what he smelled. All of the hair on his body had stood on end, and he had instantly become hard. His mate was inside, and he had just set charges to level the place.
That small distraction had allowed the rogues to get the jump on Ben. He allowed them to think they had knocked him out so that they would take him inside and closer to his mate. Imagine his surprise when they led him directly to her and he found out she worked for the scum Percival. From there things had gone to shit leading him up to where he was now. Strapped to a bed and being continuously pumped full of God knew what drugs.
All Ben knew was that he had to fight whatever drugs they were giving him. He had been cut off from his wolf since the first injection, and he had never felt so alone. He could feel his wolf trying to claw its way out of his body, but he wouldn’t respond whenever Ben tried to speak to him. It took all his strength to hold his wolf back and not let him take over. It became harder and harder to fight each time his mate stepped into the room with a syringe in her hand. He tried to tell himself that his mate was human and had no idea what they meant to each other, but the betrayal cut deep each time she injected him without a word or a glance at him and then left the room.
Ben smelled her coming and stilled himself to fight whatever she was about to give him. His mate entered the room and closed the door behind her. He could hear her heart rapidly beating from across the room. He watched as her shoulders tensed before she turned from the door and headed his way.
Not once had he seen his mate’s face, and it was killing him. He was a man used to getting what he wanted, and a mate was something he never wanted. Now, he was willing to give his last breath if she would just look up from behind her hair once and show him her eyes.
“I’m so sorry.”
Ben froze and stiffened at his mate’s touch on his arm. Her voice had been so low, he was sure if he hadn’t been a shifter, he wouldn’t have heard her. It was the first time she had ever spoken to him.
“Just fight it a little while longer. I’m trying to find a way to get you out of here,” she whispered as she injected him.
Relief flooded his body. His mate was trying to help him. She wasn’t betraying him. The last thing he saw before everything went black was a pair of large, almost violet eyes swimming with tears staring back at him.
