Forget Me Not (Phased Moonlight Series Book 2) by Kasey Thompson Page B

someone held so much power that they could render him unconscious in a matter of seconds.
                  When he felt a presence behind him, he turned to face the hooded figure. “So, you’ve finally decided to grace me with your presence, have you?
                  The figure bobbed its head. “The time is right.”
                  “I was just questioning who was responsible for the early explosion.”
                  “And now you have your answer.”
                  Ceolus growled. “Why? I told you that the she-wolf is not to be harmed, unless I deem otherwise. How dare you!?”
                  “You are in no position to command me. Remember who sought you out so you could exact your revenge. I may follow you, or I may not. I am not under your control.”
                  Ceolus growled but nodded his head, knowing his plans would not even be possible without the hooded one’s magic. “At least enlighten me. Why did you harm the female?”
                  The figure turned its back and pet a nearby tree. “Sera Kalihan is a fighter. She will set aside her own differences to protect those she loves, much to my dismay and chagrin,” the figure said, raking its nails down the tree, causing black poison to spread and kill it. “The little bitch is strong. We must break her, slowly, painfully, and piece by piece, until she hasn’t a shred of that stubborn will left.” 
                  “Can we not simply force her to comply? She is only one, and we are many.”
                  The figure laughed. “Not to wound your pride, but that female is more dominant than you. Now that she has the Stephano alpha as her mate, you wouldn’t stand a chance.”
                  Ceolus bared his teeth but stayed silent.
                  The figure hissed suddenly, causing him to jump. “Damn it!” the hooded one cried.
                  “What is it?” Ceolus demanded.
                  “They have blood bonded.”
                  “What!?”
                  “Do you not have ears? I said they’ve blood bonded. This makes things very difficult. Come. We must prepare.” The figure grabbed his arm.
    Before Ceolus could blink, they were back in his villa in Italy. He swayed as dizziness clouded his mind. “Wh-where are my wolves?” he stuttered, a bit stunned.
                  “They are safe in their beds. Now focus. I’m going to give you some of my power,” the figure said, shoving him down into a chair.
                  “Really?” Ceolus asked. “You would make yourself so vulnerable to me?”
                  “Do not flatter yourself, wolf. I have full control over the power I lend. I will place my magic inside you. With training, you will be able to use it as your own, under my supervision, of course. This will help you obtain the female you seek.”
                  “Do it.”
                  The being clicked its tongue at him. “There are precautions. If you chose to bind by blood, a mental bond will be made between us. This is the most painful of the two choices. If you choose to bind via physical means, we will join as one, and the magic will be inserted into you during the peak of our pleasure. You will still feel pain, but it won’t be as hard to bear as the blood bond.”
                  “How am I to decide, especially when I have no clue who or what you are.”
                  The figure laughed. “Fair enough.” It then pulled down its hood.
                  Ceolus raised his eyebrows. “This should be fun.”
