Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

As I sprinted towards the cabin, I heard two roars. One I knew was Finlay’s, the other was unknown to me. I felt my panic

spike as I pushed myself to run faster. I didn’t hesitate to yank the door to the cabin open. I had no thought of stopping

to think of a plan, or trying to figure out what the smart thing to do was. I thought someone was calling my name, but it wasn’t Finlay, so I ignored it. The scent of Finlay’s blood hit me as soon as I opened the front door. There was another

scent as well. James.

“Finlay!” I called out as I ran into the cabin, relying on my nose to tell me where my mate was. It was pointing me in the

direction of the living room. I could see traces of destruction on my way there. A side table had been smashed to pieces,

the mirror was cracked, blood spattered on the walls. I noticed it, but I didn’t care.

“Amie?” I heard Finlay call back and I felt like sobbing. James growled, it came from the same direction as Finlay’s voice

and Finlay’s growl in response was louder and fiercer. I ran into the living room and saw a naked Finlay with blood

running down his chest, standing over James who was splayed out on the floor, also naked. They must have shifted at

some point. I didn’t care about him, so I rushed to Finlay. He opened his arms and pulled me in for a hug. I wanted to

examine him, make sure he wasn’t seriously hurt, but as soon as I was pulled into him I felt my anxiety lessen. James was moving on the floor, Finlay put his foot on him and growled. His point was clear; stay down.

“James!” Finlay growled again, but stopped halfway through when he registered it was Elder who had spoken. Elder and

Becky must have followed me. I glanced over my shoulder to see both of them standing in the doorway. They looked

unsure of what to do. Behind them, Sam, Ramses and Jake came rushing in. They stopped at a distance as well. The

picture we were giving was enough for them to not venture any closer. I took one more lungful of Finlay’s scent in,

confirming he was alive and mostly well, before I pushed away from him.

“You didn’t answer my mindlink,” I said to him in a voice halfway between anger and worry.

“I was busy,” he told me, looking down at James. I did as well and took him in for the first time. James was in worse

condition than Finlay. Blood was covering most of his body and he had a swollen eye and split lip. He was looking at me

like I was something he had lost and finally found again, his eyes shifted to Finlay and they showed hate. I growled loudly

enough for both James and Becky to flinch.

“Hey,” Finlay told me. Rubbing my arm.

“Don’t hey me. I’m still upset with you, scaring me to death. Now let me look at you,” I said. I focused on his chest and

could see four deep gashes, claw marks, across it. One of them ran through the bottom corner of his tattoo. That pissed me off even more. That tattoo was meaningful to me, it was a sign of his feelings for me, even before the mate bond. “I
