    "You like tempting death, James is standing in front of my escape.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    "How did you get over here so fast?" I ask and nce back from where I came from.


    Tma Lycan, Sweetheart, he scoffs at me.


    "Are you going to kill me now?" I ask smiling at him.


    "Do you want me to?" he asks stepping closer.


    Think you can do it before the King finds us? You''d be doing me a big favor. Saves me all that extra work he has me doing." is this how it ends for me? Surely, it can''t be that easy.


    "How much did he pay for you, Little One?" he stops right in front of me. His wed index finger pulls my cor forward just where my mark is. My ws haven''t gotten there yet, but they''re starting to.


    "A humiliating amount, I admit. He moves down to the cor the King traded his spaceship for. "Oh, yeah? How humiliating?


    "American," I scoff. He tsks shaking his head.


    I bet he got the deal of his life, Little One. I''ve read all about you, he holds my tag in his hand staring at the King''s name on Tech wizard. Beta Female-ss One. First-ss huntress. It was like you were perfectly fabricated to be a grand prize. can offer you a deal and get you the hell out of here,"


    Tm tagged and marked. I wouldn''t be getting very hard-far. I meant far," I swallow when he leans into me.


    He reaches for the back of the cor and suddenly it falls off. A loud growles from behind us and James wraps his arms around me with one hand at my throat. I dropped my snacks and my new drink. I like this fruit thing. It wasn''t leaving the aftertaste from whatever anti-depressant the king thinks he''s slipping into my drink.


    "Let her go, the King growls.


    "Or what?" Jamesughs.


    He presses his nose to my head and inhales like a p**rt. His two friends tense up when the sound of a shotgun being ***des from behind us.


    "Take your filthy hands off my kid or I''ll blow a hole in your head Jacob says from behind me.


    "Jake, stand down, I call out.


    "Shut up, st***d. What did you do to provoke this thing?" he growls back.


    "Has a mouth on her, old man," James grins, yet he hasn''t squeezed.


    "I know. It''s why I carry this," Jacob saysing around to keep the shotgun aimed at James'' head.


    "It''s mine now, pretty girl," he whispers in my car. "It''s off. Guess leave the rest up to you, huh?"


    He releases me, holding his arms up in the air with my cor in his grip. How the f***k did he do that? The King''s hand immediately wraps around my arin as he backs away. Jacob steps in front of us without putting the gun down. They get into their C wagon and leave. "Mine is nicer, I say looking up at the King

    "How did he take it off?


    "No, idea. He reached for the back and it slid off. There was no sound,"


    "He disabled the f***g ma, he growls and starts leading me back toward the elevator.

    "Oh, that''s what it was! I feel st***id," I admit. I have a few things in my stuff that would have identally discovered it was a ma when I went to "my study aka the greatest room in the entire world. He''s right to shut the door at seven. I''d willingly stay there the rest of my life. "Also, if you''re going to put another one on me, a new technique is in order,"


    "I''m sorry, Little Wolf. But this is a different matter. I can''t risk him trying to take you away. I didn''t think it would ever be an option. He usually kills them. You are not to leave our floor until we can get the artist toe down here and put those marks on you* Chapter 50
