2021-07-18 01:24:20The light floods in as a command rings out for the end of the fight. I'm covered in blood and gore. Most of my weapons have been discarded in fallen bodies. We begin the trek back through the forest to the castles, picking up weapons as we go. Cradling the injured to make it back to the medics.
Cylipso drags her weapons across the floor as she trudges right behind me. She looks drained and heavy. Blood spatters her face and hair. She has a deep gash on her left arm that I tied and patched up with my shirt. She will carry today with her for the rest of her life.I remember my first bloodshed. It started on a stormy summers evening. I was reading a romance novel in the pack library when the siren went off and everyone rushed out the small heaven. Every able body was washed through the sea of people and crashed with weapons to be strapped on. I was in the second grouping of warriors to face the attack. I remember the first enemy I faced. He was tall and had darkRelated chapters
A Crown of Halos (book 1 of the Angel series) 16) even the storm knows
We trudge home trough the thick mud and rain. Silent tears slip from my cheeks. Not for those who were lost but those who still remain. Those who mourn for their loved ones. Mates, fathers, brothers, husbands, sons. I wrap my arms tighter around myself and let out a single soft sob. Hunter silently wraps his arm around my shoulder and tucks me into his side. I don’t let the walls break though. I just lean further into his warmth.He stops dead and when I look up at him, his eyes are cloudy. When they clear he looks down at me.“Reece has been looking for you. He’s pissed.” He says flatly. “I’ve been commanded to return you to him in his study.”“Let him be pissed. There’s more important things than his anger.” I snatch myself from Hunter and continue marching home.The rain falls like a blanket to cover up the blood, the death, in the forest.I know the warriors are close behind to make sure I get b

The rising sun casts a blinding light throughout Reece's office. My eyes flutter open to see Reeces chest and the side of his couch. Last night was… fuuuuuuucccccckkkkkk! It was amazing. We went for hours and it still didn't feel long enough. He felt too far away when we weren't close like that. We didn't have the energy to go back to our room after Reece fucked me on every surface of his office. But being here, like this, it's heaven. The soft sun hits Reece's gorgeous skin, making him glow. His lips slightly curved up as he sleeps. The soft thudding of his heart in his chest against my cheek. I'm so hopelessly and desperately in love with him even though he irritates me with his possessive BS. He's still mine and I'm his and my world is complete. I can't help my fingers running circles on his shoulder. He lets out a sigh and I realise he's either been awake the whole time or I've just woken him up. Those diamond blue eyes sparkle in the sun as they l

Reece’s POV of the ball“Why are we here?” I growl out, tugging at this fucking tie. I know the answer but maybe I can argue my way out of it if Hunter says it. We’re here because a meme we of the royal family has to be present at the new alpha ceremonies and because I’m the Alpha of our pack, I have the chore of attending.“You know exactly why we’re here.” Hunter rolls his eyes at me while we walk towards the hall.“I hate suits.” I grumble.“What about the crown?” Hunter hits me on the back of the head causing the fucking thing to sit skew. I don’t bother straightening it. The girls eat this shit up. And honestly I don’t really care enough to fix it. “Listen, the blah blah bit of ceremony will be an hour tops. We’ll drink whatever’s being poured, you can your pick of whichever girl you like, you can skrew her and then we’ll head

“Did you ever think about me?” Reece asks as we walk through the warn forest path. I can’t help but look up at him confused.“What?” I ask. He chuckles at my confused state. “I swear you make me confused on purpose.”“Only because you are so cute when you’re confused.” He kisses the top of my nose. I scrunch my nose and he chuckles as we continue our walk. “So, did you ever think about me?”I take a moment to think about his question.“Did I ever think about my mate? Not really. When I was younger, I knew unless I was a wolfs mate, I wouldn’t get a real mate. So I thought about marrying someone that I deeply loved. I thought about a wedding and a family. Growing old with my husband. Then with Ben, that dream was crushed. I thought about it less and less. I just hoped to fall in love one day. Nothing spectacular. Just something sweet and safe.

“Do I look okay?” I ask as I smooth my skirt out in front of the mirror.“Yes.” Reece says from the bathroom.“You haven’t even seen me.”“And yet I know you look stunning.” He walks out of the bathroom. “Like always.”I turn and place my hands on my hips giving him a pointed look.“I don’t want to look ‘stunning’, Reece. I want to look professional.” I turn back towards the mirror and flatten my collar. “Like I’m supposed to be there.”Reece walks up behind me and warps his arms around my waist before kissing my cheek.“You look professional because you ARE supposed to be there.” He pulls away and smack me on the ass. “Knock em dead.”I squeak at the contact and take a deep breath, glancing over my shoulder at my retreating mate.

The elevator ride is filled with awkward silence. I hadn’t told Matteo or Jace my exact job description before we arrived. So their surprise and anger at HR was at least contained, for now. I don’t think it helped much when I asked them not to give the specifics of my job description to Reece. Whether or not the request will be respected and upheld is yet to be seen. I can tell Matteo is upset. Whenever I glance over at him, he still has on his scowl. He also hasn’t spoken to me since the meeting with HR.I lean over and whisper so only he can hear, “please don’t be mad at me forever.”He glances with me and I swear the scowl fades for a slit second when he rolls his eyes at me.Okay, one relationship not completely broken.I don’t know about Jace. We aren’t really that close, nothing like Matteo and I have but I also don’t want him to hate me. He’s had on a neutral mask s

“Minx.” Roy says through the intercom on my desk. “Can you come in here for a minute please.”“On my way.” I say back.Standing, I grab my diary and note book incase Roy needs something I have to write down.“Sit back down.” I instruct to Matteo and Jace as they attempt to leave with me. “I’m just going to my bosses office.” I throw over my shoulder as the click clack of heels fills the hall.I walk straight through the open door into Roy’s office, close it behind me and sit in the chair across his desk. Placing the books neatly on his desk and my right leg over the left, I wait to hear what he has to say.“We need to talk about your lap dogs.” Roy scowls as Matteo conveniently walks past the office to make coffee. “They can’t be here any more.”I don’t quite know what to say.

CRASH“Reece…”CRASH“It’s not…”CRASH“REECE!” I shout over his rage. He pauses his shattering of the room around him to stare straight at me with deathly black eyes. The emotions swirling in them is so raw it hurts my soul. I have to fight the urge to touch is arm, cup his face, make it all go away. But time stops, emotions fade, everything falls out of focus as I stare back into those swirling black orbs. So in contrast to the crystal blue ones I stare into every morning. The ones that shimmer in the dark every evening.These eyes are not Reece’s. They are not loving. Not sweet and caring and filled with life.These are dangerous. Possessive in their own right. The eyes that promise death. These eyes belong to the legends of the ruthless, blood lustful Prince. The Princes Beast.I’ve never met Reece’s wolf for

He knew he made the right choice. She is perfect. Kim stands in the middle of the throne room. The power, my power, emanating from her. “Are you sure?” I ask Hermine. “I am. I have chosen his replacement.”A single nod before a send it all. The wind flows across the floor towards her. It flows into her, around her. Both absorbing into her and emanating from her. The power begins to glow. Her skin having a faint gold hew as her halo forms. Gold and glowing. Her eyes golden ringed as she looks at him. “Queen to E6.” Her voice is strong as it returns to its strength. Her entire body returned to its glory. Daragan looks shaken to his core. In an attempt to save himself, he throws his power at her. At least whatever is left of it. Kim catches it and tugs. She tugs him. He falls forwards, grabbing for the stand he sent to her. She pulls. Pulls it closer to her, pulls him down the steps. Pula until he lands

3rd person perspective It must be quite a sight to behold. The Crown Prince of the Wolves; The Leader of the Vamps; The Second Born Princess of The Wolves; The Witch Queen and The Gremlin General marching at the head of an army. They emerge from the forest and March down the hill towards an awaiting band of Angels. The army holts and Roy steps forward. “We wish to speak to The Daemonium.” His voice carries across the valley. Black shadows form around the training grounds and from them rises a Fae Male. “What do you think you are doing on my property?” The male speaks loud and authoritatively. “We simply come for Kimberlee Mylean Ashyver. Hand her over and we will leave peacefully. But a fair warning, we are not afraid of a war.” “You should be.” _________________KimClick click click click click click click click Who could it possibly be now? “Miss Ashyver.” Dereks voice sounds off.

Why is he here?I scowl, the croak in my voice undermines it, “what do you want?”He crouched down to be eye level with me on the floor.“I think it’s time to re-integrate you and start your training again.” He says calmly.“How about you go fuck yourself and I’ll stay right here.” I spit at him.“Perhaps you aren’t yet fully broken.

Calypso“Fuck, Kiaan.” I moan into his ear.He growls be at at me as he push deeper.Training took a bit of a detour today. We decided to go to the outdoor rings for some early morning training. Things got very intense and somewhat heated. And since we’re alone, we let it get heated.My eyes snap open. “Shit!”“Holy fuck!” Kiaan growls back.“I know where it is!” I shout and push him away from me. I push off of the tree he had me pinned to and pull up my gym pants.“What is happening?” My mates stares at me all flustered with his pants around his ankles.“I have to go. But I’ll see you later.” I shout and I run towards the castle.Roy has been wracking his brain for days on where the angels estate could possibly be.

Kimthe song replaying in my head. All I can think about is the scene in Shrek with Fiona and Prince Charming and Shrek.I stand as I hum the tune. Closing my eyes, I lift my arms to rest on my imaginary dance partner, and slip to a grande ball in an ancient hall with my Prince Charming. I twirl around the balcony.I’m so caught up in my make believe world that I jump slightly as a warm hand is placed in mine and a muscular arm wrapped around my waist.I open my eyes to stare into diamond blue eyes and inhale sharply.“Don’t stop.” He says softly as he sweeps me around the balcony. So I don’t. I keep humming and gliding, never breaking contact with those diamond eyes.Once I finish the song, I take a step back from the stranger. He does not seem pleased because he reaches for me but I’m out of reach.From a

Kim I walk in through the big oak doors to his office. His eyes lift from the papers littering his desk and run up and down my body. I pull the tie of my knee length coat and shrug the leather from my shoulders to reveal nothing underneath. His eyes darken but he makes no effort to move. Making my way around the desk, he pulls his chair out so I can half lean half sit on the desk in front of him. He looks up at me with nothing but a predatory gaze. Running his eyes from my heel clad feet up to my dead serious eyes. His hands find my hips and he props me properly on the desk while standing. His gaze drifts down my body once more before locking on my eyes. "You never cease to amaze me." He leans forward and kisses me. It's slow and deep and claiming. He tastes like whiskey. I arch my back into the kiss. Into his body. We fit so well together. He laces his fingers through my hair and tugs so he has better access to every inch of my mouth. My fingers pop each

KimThe clicking of boots against the damp stone let me know nothing in particular. In the time I’ve been down here there, the clicking boots could mean 1 of 3 things:1) someone is bringing me scraps2) Derek has come down to talk to meor3) The Daemonium has sent someone to beat me“Miss Ashyver.” Skits across the walls. So number 2.I don’t bother with a response or moving from my slouched position in the corner of the cell.Scraping of metal replacing the clicking makes me look up. A plate in front of me catches my eye. I look up and into Dereks eyes.“Don’t look at me like that.” He says softly.I say nothing.“You brought this on yourself. You should’ve just listened and followed him. You could’ve just…” I cut him off.“Done what you did? Been a coward?” It’s

She lets me know if she’s going to be two minutes late because they got caught in traffic but she doesn’t show up for three days and says nothing? That’s not like her.“ROY!” Kira shouts. She sounds panicked. “ROY!”I stand from my chair and rush out my office. She’s running towards me.“You have to come, quickly.” She grabs my arms and then turns and drags me towards the elevator.“What is going on?” I’m now running with her to the elevator. She presses the parking button and the elevator doors close.“It’s Matteo. Someone dropped him in my parking space. He does not look good , Roy.” She rushes out of the elevator. “I’m so luck
