Bound by Witchcraft: Charmed by My Masters

“Umm, that’s a start, but let me show you how it’s done.” He grinned as his hand caressed the back of her neck, while his other hand grabbed Blair’s ass and pressed her body to his. Gray’s lips covered hers.
He stood and stretched listening to her little moans; she stood on her tip toes, as her hands slid up and around Gray’s neck.
“Wow.” She whispered, when he pulled away with a smirk on his face.
Dietrich wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her back. Blair fell into his body when he stood. He slid his hands under her jogging suit and cupped her soft round globes of her ass. He lifted her up, and stared into her eyes. “My turn, little witch.”
She weighed nothing next to him. It was as if he lifted toothpick. Dietrich nipped her nose, before he softly covered her lips. His kiss was gentle, but controlled. Blair ran her fingers through his hair and grabbed hands full as they dueled back and forth. He was ancient, but there was nothing ancient about his moves. His kiss was meant to melt her insides. When he finally lifted his head, he was grinning. “Now that is how you say good morning. Go on, and have a great run, but keep inside the security fence.” He slowly lowered her down his body, her breasts rubbing against his chest.
Dietrich glanced at Jax. “You know if you have any troubles to use the tunnels?”
Jax nodded and held out his. “Come on early bird, let’s get this run done, I’m starving all of a sudden.” Jax wrapped his arm around her and they walked through the maze of halls.

Deitrich turned to Gray, “I want to know the whereabouts of all of those that are after her. I want to know what happened to the rest of that cat pack. Just one man was killed. We damn well know that each pack usually contains over a hundred members. They’re not going to take too kindly to one of theirs being killed, especially if the vampire is now working with them.”
Both men had dressed and were walking down the halls nodding to others in their sanctum. “When things settle down, I’d like to invite Blair’s family here. Maybe after we settle this issue with the cats, we can bring her little brother down for a little while. And we need to set up accounts for her with our banker.”
Dietrich turned left down the one hallway. Gray stopped and stared at him. “I thought you wanted to talk with Greg?”
“I do, but first we have a room to get ready for tonight, and toys to pick out. Also, I want to have the Rose room closed off. Is Dank still here?” Dietrich asked pushing through the doors to the main lobby. “That man can cook up a storm. Plus, I thought we could take a round with the swords while Jax and Blair run. It’s been a while since you have joined me.”
Gray snorted. “If you havn’t noticed, we have been extremely busy this last month. On top of that you know my family is here. Have you figured out what gift Blair has yet?”
He stopped and glanced at Gray. “Why didn’t you remind me that they were here? I would have made sure to take time out to join you. And no, I haven’t figured out her gift yet. She has kept it hidden well and I’m afraid we haven’t given her much to trust in us.” Dietrich sighed and glanced around the mail lobby. “Maybe tonight should be more personal. What do you think about a dinner up in our quarters, then give her a tour of the whole place?”
“I think you’re right, a more personal night might be better. We might know she’s from a power family, but we know nothing about her personally. I have a feeling she has put her own personal needs aside for the last few years, raising her sisters and brothers. It’s time for her to be pampered.” Gray turned to head back towards the weight room.
“If Dank is still here he’s lifting weights, and if I’m going to work on the swords with you, I want to warm up.” Gray slapped him on the back. “You might be ancient, but you have a powerhouse of strength that always knocks me on my ass.” He laughed as they pushed the glass doors open to the fitness room.
In the back near the free weights, Dank worked out with Frederick. He was Jax’s second in command and was a powerhouse himself when it came to muscle and security. Dietrich nodded to both men.
“I’m surprised you are here and not with Jax outside running the grounds.”
Fredrick looked disgusted.
“Half of our pack is out there, plus your security. He ordered me to take the morning off.” He shook his head and grinned. “Seems to me he didn’t want me around your woman.”
Dietrich laughed and grabbed the two hundred pound weight as if it were nothing. “Jax has nothing to worry about. I have a feeling he was just giving you the day off. He knows you have been busy since coming here.”
“Show off.” Fredrick grumbled and took the weight from him.
He laughed and stepped onto the treadmill and programed his information. “Dank, was wondering if you could set something up for us in our rooms. Something special.” Dietrich started his jog.
“Are you forgetting what tonight is?” Dank and Fredrick stared at him and nodded to the message board.
Gray laughed. “Well there goes that idea. We can’t miss the playoffs and the party.” Gray lay down on the bench and stared to pump the weights. “We’re going to be packed, and don’t forget that all the women are supposed to be dressed in cheerleading outfits today, too.”
“What about tomorrow Dank? We don’t know what she likes, but we can find out tonight and let you know. Will you have enough time?”
Dank nodded, but frowned.
“I heard that you are looking for the pack that was tracking her? You do know that most of that pack hates their alpha, right? If the alpha was destroyed, you might have friends instead of enemies.”
He moved off the treadmill his gaze held Dank’s. “How do you know so much about the Muglin pack, Dank?”
Dank didn’t back away. “They were the ones that pulled me out of the vampires den, so to speak.”
“And you have kept in contact with them since you’ve been here?” Gray moved up next to him as they both waited.
Fredrick growled, slowly turning towards Dank. “You were with those pussies?”
“Watch it wizard, some of them are my friends, and yes I have kept in contact with them. As I was saying, half of the pack doesn’t want anything to do with your female. It was Clay and the Alpha, Dwayne, who wanted her. They were going to try and do a Triad.”
“How? There are only two of them, and not even meant for her?”
Dank shrugged. “I have no clue, which is what the rest of the pack was trying to figure out. I’d be willing to contact them for you.”
“Isn’t it awfully convenient that you showed up a week before she did?” Gray stepped forward, but Dietrich stopped him.
“Call them and arrange a meeting for this afternoon at twelve. But Dank, if I find out you betrayed us…” Dietrich stepped into his personal space. “I’ll personally make sure you suffer the worst death ever. If you thought the vampires were bad, you haven’t seen me mad.”
Chapter Five
Blair walked down the hall with Jax by her side. He was a tank all by himself, and she felt small next to him. She felt small next to any of the three men that claimed her. She laughed and glanced up at him. He grinned down at her. “What’s so funny?”
With his hand under her shirt at her back he caressed her skin. “I was just thinking of the children’s story Little Red Riding Hood. Are you my big bad wolf, Jax?” She giggled and tried to run for the outside door, but he wrapped his arm around her waist and picked her up. He nipped her neck.
“Honey, you are surrounded by wolves, but yes. I’m your own personal big bad wolf, and I can promise you that soon I will enjoy eating you,” he teased.
Magic swirled around them, her body shifted and she turned into a pussy cat. She meowed and took for the door; of course her magic opened the door for her.
“Oh little kitty, it’s not nice to tease the big bad wolf,” he said behind her and she knew at once he was shifting as Blair made it outside to stop and stare at two older women sitting in folding c
hairs. Both women turned and snarled at her, and she realized she was still a cat.
Jax stepped in front of her and growled at the woman, as she turned back into herself. She ran her fingers through Jax’s black fur. “I’m sorry ladies, if I startled you. I was just having some fun with my boyfriend, Jax.” Blair stepped back as Jax’s muscles knotted and bones shifted. He stood next to her, his arm wrapped around her waist.
“Aunt Bee, Aunt Glades, my I introduce my mate, Blair.” He glanced down at her and raised his eyebrows. “Boyfriend?”
She raised her head and shrugged. “You might be mated to me, and they might be bonded to me, but as far as I’m concerned, until I have my wedding, I’m not married.”
She turned and smiled at the ladies. “Good morning to you both, it is very nice to meet you. I hope we didn’t scare off whatever you two were watching?” Blair glanced around looking for wild life in the forest when both women laughed.
“Wait, you’ll see, and welcome to the family sweetie. Jax, have you informed your mother about the mating? You know she’ll want a family gathering on this, plus, your mate must be brought into the pack officially. You did bring her over to our world, did you not?” His Aunt Bee asked. The woman had black and white hair, she wore a pair of black jeans with a tee-shirt that said Give me a foot-long any time. On it. Blair busted out laughing when she read the shirt.
“I love you shirt, and what does she mean by bring me over?” Blair glanced up at him, but turned her attention to the three men that went running through the woods nude.
Aunt Glades moved next to her and nodded to the woods. “That is why we’re out here. We might be old, but we can still enjoy a fine sight. Did you see how hung that one man was?”
Her face heated, but she laughed. and glanced at Jax who was not too happy right now. “Blair does not need to see any other men. She has three, and that is all she needs,” he grumbled
“Well we won’t argue with you, but you better pull up those britches boy. Here comes your mom, and she does not look happy.” The old woman stepped aside as two women marched up to them and circled them.
Both of them ignored Jax, but concentrated on her. “She is small, don’t know how she’ll hold herself in a fight if challenged,” the one woman said, which had to be Jax’s mom. The other woman lifted Blair’s pony tail and reached for her hand, but Blair yanked her away from them.
“Excuse me, but I’m not a damn thing you can poke and prod,” she snapped. “Even I have better manners than that.” Blair glanced at both women. “Jax I’m going for a run, you talk to them.” She took off straight for the woods following the previous men’s path. Never had she met so many rude people in a short period of time.
“Who the hell do they think they are? Of all the nerve, I don’t care whose parents they are.” She jumped over a fallen tree, and stopped to stretch for a few moments.
Blair jumped, as a shadow fell over her. She glared at Jax, who loomed above her. “I’m sorry about that Blair. I had no idea mom or Gray’s mom would act like that. Both of them would like another chance. They want to apologize for their behavior.” He glanced behind her and sure enough, both women made their way towards them.
“Damn it, Jax.” She snapped, but stopped when she turned her glare on the two women. “Maybe later would be better for this. I have a good two miles to run before I make breakfast.” She ground her teeth together.
The woman who was tall and thin stepped forward. Her hair was the same color blond as Jax’s, but with a tint of red in it, and it flowed down her back freely. She held out her hand. “Please, I was rude. I was just shocked to learn my boy had laid claim to you and did not inform us.”
Blair took the woman’s hand. Her magic pushed into Blair seeking and probing. Blair yanked her hand back and let a fraction of her power free. Jax hissed next to her, feeling the push of her magic, as it knocked both women onto their asses.
He glanced at his mom, then back at her. “Blair explain.” He ordered as he reached down and helped his mom and Gray’s mom. Two older men appeared out of thin air, and they stood next to the women. Each stepped in front of one of them, as if to protect them.
The air round them changed, the smell of death magic filled it, and for the first time since she had left the house, she felt threatened. Blair didn’t know from where, but something watched her and tried to test her powers, but she held them off. Blair pulled her magic back fast and scanned around the area. Two males stood off to the right side of them, while another three men to the right, and six behind them, but it wasn’t coming from any of them.
Blair glanced back at the people in front of her. “If you are waiting for an apology, it isn’t going to happen. Even I was taught as a child not to try and enter another person’s mind, especially using magic. They are both lucky they can stand.” She rubbed her arms. “Jax, we need to get inside, something isn’t right out here.” Once again she turned in a complete circle and tried to place where the power was coming from.
Jax pulled her into his arms and scanned the wood around them. “We have men all around us Blair, what’s wrong?” Jax’s and Gray’s fathers moved in front of them, pushing the women in between, ready to deal with any threat.
“Someone is watching. The magic is old, but not too powerful, and it is something different. Like that of death magic, but not full witch or wizard either. Whoever they are, they are trying to probe my mind, as Gray’s mom did, but this is more…creepy, cold. At first I thought it was Gray’s mom, but they were two different patterns. That’s why Gray’s mom got so far, otherwise she would have been thrown out sooner.” Blair watched as security moved closer to them. She released the breath she had been holding. The power was gone.
The two women stepped into their men’s arms. Dietrich and Gray ran to her. “What happened? We could feel the push of power inside?”
Gray nodded to his parents, but his gaze never left hers for long. “Let’s just say some of the people here are rude, and there is someone here among your people that shouldn’t be here.” She rubbed her arms again. “I really want to go inside. I can work out in the gym that I saw last night. I don’t like being out here, even though his presence is gone.”
Blair moved to step around Gray, but he grabbed onto her arm, and stared down at her. “My mom did something, didn’t she?”
She sighed. “Gray, can we please talk about this inside?”
His mom moved in front of them. “There is no reason for you to answer this. Yes, I wanted to see her power level, wanted to see if she was worthy of you and Dietrich. The both of you need someone looking after you.” She nodded her head to her. “I’m sorry if you consider it rude, but I won’t risk my son’s or Dietrich’s, lives. They are too important to the people here.”
Gray glared at his mom. “You did what?” But Blair didn’t give him a chance to speak. She grabbed onto his arm, and pulled him out of the woods and onto the path to the mansion.
“I’m sure she did what she thought was right, Gray. Who knows what the three of you would have gone through if my father was still alive, but then again, I might not have met any of you if he hadn’t been killed.” She smiled up at him as he opened the back door.
“It’s no excuse and you know it. I’m sorry Blair, it won’t happen again, ever.” Gray snapped and looked back at his mom.
She held up her hands. “Hey, I learned my lesson.” His mom rubbed her butt. “And if you lose her, I’ll kick your ass. Do you know, I actually believe she has a higher power level than your father?”
Blair rolled her eyes, and proceeded down the hall, but then stopped so suddenly Gray ran into her back.
“What? What’s wrong?” Gray asked, while Jax and Dietrich glanced around the large hallway, but she ignored them and took a hall she hadn’t been down before.
Someone was sick, close to dying, a child. Blair turned down another hallway when Dietrich grabbed onto her waist and stopped her. “Blair, you don’t want to go down there.” His voice wa
s sad and quiet.
“I have to go down there Dietrich, it’s who I am.” She glanced behind them. Both Gray’s and Jax’s parents, along with security followed behind them. “If you don’t want them to know, I suggest you tell them to leave.” Blair slipped out of Dietrich’s arms and moved down the large hallway. People she had never seen stood off to the side, as she made her way to the double swinging doors ahead of them. Something inside pulled at her, the magic Blair kept hidden was now close to the surface.
She took a deep breath and came to a halt in front of the double doors. The outside of the doors reminded her of a school. The hallway had the smell of medicine and alcohol, like that of a hospital. Blair heard the murmurs when she pushed open the doors and stepped inside.
Hospital beds were lined up in a row, children and adults looked up as she moved into the room. “They’re sick, all of them?” Blair whispered and searched the room. Most of them were sick, but one child wasn’t. She was under a death spell. Black magic swirled around the pale child, Blair knew no one could see the death magic except her. At once her natural shield went up.
