Bound to Be Taken [Rock Wood Pack 2] (Siren Publishing Classic) Read Free Page B

tried to smile at her friend. The worry on Charlotte’s face startled her. Jordan, Paul, and Wilson stood with them. All of them stared at her in a state of shock.
    “I thought wolves weren’t supposed to get sick. I mean, Titania doesn’t even complain when it’s her time of the month.”
    Titania groaned. They were talking about her menstrual cycle. She’d never be able to live the humiliation down.
    “She went to sleep within minutes of being in my arms. This is the first she has woken up.” Cade pressed a cool cloth to her head. She moaned, loving the chill.
    “Let me in.” The commotion outside her door made Titania jump. David pushed his way through the crowd.
    “What are you doing here?” Cade asked. His voice filled with anger. “This is pack business.”
    “Titania is my friend. I’ve not heard from her.” No one stopped him from going to the bed. He climbed behind her on the bed. Cade let out a growl but David kept coming. “What’s wrong with her?”
    “She won’t turn,” Micah said.
    David cupped her cheek. The heat from his touch made her recoil.
    “Too…hot.”
    “Won’t turn? Titania can’t turn unless it’s the full moon,” David said, looking around the room. She stared at her friend and she tried to move away from him. He was too hot and the movement he caused made her ache all over.
    “Get off the bed. She’s trying to get away,” Cade said, standing up.
    “Stop fighting over her,” Charlotte said. Her voice rose and echoed off the walls. “You’re acting like a pair of mated fucking wolves and I should know, I’m married to one. Now, Titania needs your help, not a fucking contest of who can yell or growl the loudest.”
    If she could, Titania would have clapped for her friend.
    Silence descended on the room for several minutes. She couldn’t help but look at Cade. He looked so handsome, even with the disgusting tattoo. His hair had grown out a little, which was a shame. She liked the way he looked. The beard he’d once kept was gone. She liked that though. His beard always looked out of place to her.
    “What do you mean she can’t change? We all change at the full moon. I’ve seen her,” Cade said. His voice sent shivers of delight down her spine.
    “Yeah, Titania can turn under the full moon but she can’t change any other time. She has no other choice but to wait until the moon. That is why she’s always careful. Where we can change from a cut or burn, Titania has to deal with it until the moon. This break is bad and she’ll not survive three weeks, Cade.”
    David explained her weakness to the group. They’d kick her out of the pack now. She was weak and couldn’t even change at will.
    I’m useless.
    Tears filled her eyes and she curled into a ball.
    “There is a way to do it,” Cade said, staring down at her. She felt him stroking her hair. Staring up at him, Titania hoped he had a way to take the pain away.
    “What?” David asked.
    “Micah can call her wolf.”
    “I don’t like forcing on the change, Cade. It could hurt and kill her, especially if she fights me.”
    “What other choice do we have? Do you want others to know you’d rather a member die than risk saving her?”
    “Please, Micah. Do this for me,” Charlotte said.
    Silence again.
    “Fine, but I need a willing male to be in wolf form. It adds to the connection with her. She’s in human form, I can call to her as a human and I need a wolf to bind her to the forest and it would be best done outside.”
    “I’ll do it,” Cade said.
    In the next instant she was being lifted from the bed.
    “I can carry her,” David spoke up. She closed her eyes, wishing he’d stay out of the way. He couldn’t help her. She loved him dearly but right now she needed the strong of the pack to help her.
    “Back the fuck off before I order you punished.”
    There were stares between them.
    “David…please…let him…do it,” she said. The pain made it hard for her to speak.
    “Fine. You stay
