Before the break of dawn the next day Donovan was roused from his slumber far to early by hard pounding on his door. More then likely Kay had gone to tell the Elders he had brought a human into their midst. But Donovan was not sure anymore if his mate was indeed human as he had thought when first tracking her fertile scent through the snow storm. Yawning wide he kissed Katrina's temple being sure not to wake her as he slid from the bed and into a pair of black jeans. Moving to the door he took a good sniff before opening it to see Kay's smiling face as she looked up at him practically glowing. This did not bode well.
"The Elders want to see you Donovan, something about your mate hood being invalid. Might want to hurry."
"If this is because of you Kay, I will bring vengeance upon you so horrible you will beg for death. You will no hurt Katrina while I deal with the Elders, that is an order."
As Donovan ran for the Elder's Hall Kay felt a very wicked smile cross over her face before she entered Donovan's room, her golden eyes instantly falling on the slumbering human. Inching silently towards the bed Kay pulled a set of leather cuffs from her jacket and jean pockets. She wouldn't hurt the human oh no, but she had other things in mind like tying and gagging the whore until Kay made Don come to his senses. Slowly Kay wrapped the cuffs around the human's ankles and wrists, the chains from the cuffs connecting to the bed and stretching the little mortal out so she could not get free somehow. Just as Katrina's eyes began to open from all the movement Kay had been doing, Kay forced a ball gag into the mortal's mouth and tied it into place.
"Now there's a good girl. You're gonna sit here real quiet while I use my charms on Don aren't you? Yes you are. And I'm so nice that I'll let you watch."
"Watch what Kay?"
Kay turned to find Donovan standing in the doorway of his room still wearing only a pair of black jeans. Hearing Katrina sob behind the gag in her mouth gave Kay a sick sense of pleasure that she could not keep from her eyes. Rage filled Donovan's eyes as he stepped into the room, light glinting off the clan ring he wore on his finger meaning he had been successful with the Elders, though Kay had not thought she'd spent that much time binding the mortal.
"Be gone from my sight Kay, I will have you branded as rogue and hunted for this!"
"You can not do that to someone who has challenged the Alpha. And that is what I have done here. You best train your female lest you want her dead instead of injured by my claws."
With that lovely comment Kay moved from the bed and left the room, heading down to the Elders Hall to put her plans into action. Once Kay had left Donovan stared down at Katrina, strangely finding the bindings rather exciting but he knew it was not the best time to test them out. Moving slowly to the bed he unchained his mate, pulling her into his embrace once she was freed he could feel her body shaking while she cried silently. Running fingers through her crimson hair Donovan was not sure what to do, for once in his life he felt as helpless as the countless deer he had hunted and consumed with his pack members.
"I'm sorry Katrina... What a useless mate I am if I can not protect my own woman from one such as Kay."
"How could you have known Donovan?"
Donovan held her tightly against his body, his every instinct screaming at him to take Katrina far from his clan home, far from anything that would harm her but of course he did not really have those options did he? Katrina was mother to his first child since his seed had not set in any woman but her, she was his destined mate given to him by whatever divine forces might be out there. Once again running fingers through her long hair Donovan was very aware that Katrina was nude under the covers that separated them, though this excited him all he could do was sigh.
"Something's wrong Donovan, what is it?"
"Kay is going to issue a Challenge."
