you’ don’t you understand?”
    That smirk that she was beginning to despise remained on Cutter’s face. “But that isn’t exactly true, is it?”
    “Are you calling me a liar?”
    “Not at all solnyska , you’re just in deep denial.”
    “I told you to stop calling me that, Blade. I don’t understand you two. We’ve barely had a conversation yet you’ve stalked me all over the world.”
    Cutter hunched his shoulders into a nonchalant shrug. “What you call stalking, we call going after what is ours. You’ve been ours since we saw you. The time wasn’t right then, you were connected to another, but we knew it was a matter of time before you would be ours. It was destined. You felt it too, perhaps you didn’t understand it at first because you had another mate at the time but you sensed it all the same . That’s why we made you so nervous. We gave you time to grieve and be alone. But we’re not going to wait any longer, nor will we allow you to pretend there isn’t something between us.”
    Nya scrunched her nose in anger and annoyance. “Allow me? Unless you guys plan on holding me hostage with that frozen stunt you just pulled, you don’t get to dictate what I will and will not do. I’ve lived my life at other people’s whims for far too long and I’ll be damned if I let either of you control me. I’d rather die!” She didn’t have a particular death wish but her freedom was the one thing she valued above all else. She’d sacrificed so much to gain it and Nya didn’t intend for it to be snatched away from her again.
    Neither twin spoke as they exchanged a meaningful look. She was certain they were communicating telepathically so she made sure to keep up her mental barrier so they wouldn’t be able to intrude into her thoughts.
    Thinking that they might be distracted she quickly gripped the door knob but was met with an electric jolt upon contact.
    “You fuckers!” Nya screamed shaking her hand that tingled more than a little.
    Two identical gazes refocused on her, but Cutter spoke. “I thought I made it quite clear, that there is no escaping us.”
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

 
    Chapter Five
    Cutter could empathize with Nya’s dilemma. She had after all lost a mate in the not-too-distant past. But that had been nearly a year ago, and now it was his and Blade’s turn to finally claim her as theirs.
    Nya’s eyes changed from dark brown to amber as they began to glow. She parted her lips slightly to reveal her descended incisors. Her fingers had also transformed into sharpened claws. She was in battle mode and he and Blade were her targets. “Let me out of here. This is your last and final warning.” She took a few menacing steps toward them.
    “Or you’ll what? Will you bite us?” Blade challenged, his voice full of amusement. “That might be quite nice actually.”
    Cutter placed his hand on his brother’s arm and shook his head. Now was not the time to make joke s . He was certain Blade didn’t find this situation funny at all, but sometimes people didn’t always know how to take his twin’s delivery in tight situations like this.
    Nya was so quick they barely saw her charge. She swiped her nails down the side of Blade’s face, gouging into his skin. Blade hollered in surprise. Before she could take another swipe at his brother, Cutter snapped his fingers, activating the immobilization spell again.
    Nya released a roar so loud it nearly made the cabin shake. Her rage was evident and if she were an older vampire she might have had the strength to break their spell. There was murder in her eyes as she yelled and screamed. “Let me go! Right fucking now!”
    Cutter shook his head. “Not until you promise to behave .”
    “Fuck the both of you! The only thing I promise is that when you release me, I’m going to kick your warlock asses.”
    “And I’m sure she means it. Fuck, woman, you’re dangerous.”
