I sit up groggily with my hair all over the place. I need to pee. I walk to the bathroom. I sit I think about what happened. My mates a bit of a dick. He's cocky and arrogant and I don't like him. I thought after the first night he would be sweet and caring but no! I flip my head back so all my hair flies out of my face. I look in the mirror at my reflection while a wash my hands. I look like shit. The bags under my eyes look deathly black. My skin seems to ooze a grey glow. My hair hangs lifelessly and the grease sticks it to my scalp. I look like a Tim Burton character.

I leave the bathroom. I see my cigarettes and lighter on the desk and snatch them. It's just as grey and dreary outside as I am so I can't open the window because I'll wake the prince up. So, instead, I head out of the room and search for a window or balcony. The apartment is huge. I head down the dinghy hall. All of the bedroom lights are off. Is everyone sleeping or is no one in them at al

    It's been a week since Reece marked me. We haven't really spoken since. Well, I haven't spoken to him. He tried to talk to me the first few days but gave up when he realised I wasn't going to give him the conversation he wanted. I'm not the type of person who can be pushed, I'll talk when I'm ready. Things have changed in a week, they've changed a lot. I've moved into the castle with the prince which is an hours drive for uni and work. Reece and I share his room in the gorgeous palace (he sleeps on the couch because I refuse to stay in the same bed as him and he refuses to sleep in a separate room.) and he set up me up in The Luna Study which is ajoins to his. He leaves the glass doors wide open and stares at me more than actually working. He insisted I redecorate it so I did. The color scheme is baby blue and gold. The glass balcony doors are almost always open with the light washed wicker furniture littering the space. The furniture inside is the same lightwashed colou

    "Hey Adrian. I…" someone grabs my wrist from behind the desk. "GET DOWN!" Adrian whisper shouts. "What's going on?" I whisper back confused. "I'm running low on amo so I can't let them know where I am." He gestures to his nerf gun. I now see his usual smart attire has been picked apart. His shoes have been discarded, his jacket tied diagonally across his chest by the sleeves with nerf bullets in the pockets and his tie is tied around his head to keep his hair out of his face. "You know you're a politician, right?" I say condescendingly"Yes and The Rats have started a war so like any good politician, I'm hiding behind a desk and letting innocent people die for my cause." He calls his younger half siblings The Rats. I learnt this during our second politics lesson when I got a full family history. Queen Freya (she was the only child so took over the throne when her father was assassinated by the warlocks.) whose mate is King Lachlan (

    I'm in the shower. That's all that's happening. I'm in the shower. Having a shower. Having a very long hot shower. I'm trying so hard not to think because it makes my head hurt but I can't help thinking about how different it is. With Reece. It's so different. I never felt anything like that with Ben. Not once. Reece gives me the best kind of butterflies. He is so sweet. I love the way he calls me princess and kitten. How he leaves me love notes. How he steals glances at me no matter where we are. How he insist on holding me hand, even when he's driving. He makes me feel safe and protected. He makes me feel loved. I appreciate how slow we're taking things. If we were going at a normal wolf speed, I would already be pregnant. I hope Reece wants pups. I can only imaging having a little us running around. How sweet he'll be when I'm pregnant. We haven't really spoken about the future. There are all these expectations that I don't mind fulfilling like being queen and providing an heir b

    I turn the speaker up as I dance around the room. I pick up my hairbrush as microphone. "I'm a man who has very specific taste." I sing at the top of my lungs. My hair's almost dry and we towel discarded a long time again. I swing my hips in time with the music. I've actually played the sax to this song for the club one time. Speaking of the club, it's time to start getting ready for work. I strut into the closet. I pull out my black dress and pull it over my curves. Strong hands grab the zip and pull it up. He places his hands on my hips. Feather soft kisses on my jaw turn into cheeky nips down my neck. Reece reaches his one hand up to cup me left breast. He squeezes it softly through the thin fabric. I tilt my head back to moan but his lips capture mine and the sound. He snakes his hand up my thigh which causes my dress to ride up. His fingers stop at my entrance. He teases me with slow circles while going back to nipping my neck. My incoherent notices fill

    The bedrooms empty when I get home so I head into the office to find Reece. He's sitting at his desk with his glasses on hunched over a stack of papers. I lean against the door frame and take a moment to appreciate my very sexy mate. He is so fucking perfect. Sometimes I still can't believe he wants me, scars and all. A breeze sweeps through the room and he catches my scent. He looks up with the sweetest smile I've ever seen. Like a child that's just been given chocolate. "Hi gorgeous." His voice still gives me goosebumps. "Hi." I smile back and walk over and he pulls me into his lap with his hands around my waist. "Why are you up so late?" I run my fingers through his silky hair."I was waiting for you to get back safe and sound." I kiss him softly. "You'll never guess what happened today." I pull out of the kiss with my fingers still tangled in his hair. "What?" He asks. I love how he looks at me. "I got a job

    I hate the mass gathering of people. It freaks me out just a bit. All these people mean a bigger fire hazard. All these people mean that at least one person is a psychopath or sociopath. All these people mean that someone could start a fire. All these people mean someone might be murdered. The only positive of all these people is the people watching. I sit in my chair at the base of the stage and watch. Watch people coming. Watch people going. Watch the relationships and not relationships. Things that were and are and could be. Things that will happen and might happen and won't happen. Things. I've been told I have an overactive observation and interpretation rate that eggs on my unusually high imagination. Some psychiatrist said I have the imagination of a 5 year old combined with the dark thoughts and life experience of a 30 year old war veteran. But he never said if that was good or not. Maybe it is, until it's not. The ceremony starts and the

    I snatch my clothing from the base of the stairs at my full blown sprint. I pull my phone from the heap and check my messages as my footsteps pound against the unfazed monument. Shit! Matteo sent me multiple messages and tried to phone me a lot. I quickly dial his number. "Im so sorry Matteo. Time ran away from me. I'm coming." I say down the stupid thing in my hand. "I had to go Kim. Jordan's in labor. Reece is on his way to fetch you now." He says a little panicked. "Oh my Goddess. Congratulations Teo. You are going to be such an awesome dad. Now get off the phone with me and drive safely back to your mate." I hang up before he has the chance to say anything but I catch his chuckle. I straighten my dress as Reece pulls the car into the parking at warp speed. He gets out the car and walks around to open my door. I learned after the first time I opened it myself that I shouldn't. I was subjected to a 20 minute lecture about how a femal

    Reece tosses me onto my feet. Before I even tilt back because I loose balance, Reece's lips are pressed against mine and his arms are around my waist. I waste no time kissing him back and fling my arms around his neck. It's a deep, passionate, toe curling, goosebump, shiver down your spine kind of kiss. The kind of kiss I'll never forget. His fingers run up my back softly to find the zipper of my dress. He glides it down and moves his fingers back down my back, to hook his hands around the back of my thighs. In one fluid motion he picks me up so my legs wrap around his waist. He takes one step towards the bed and a rapid knocking sounds on the door. Reece's growl reverberates through the room, making the windows shake. "I would be here if it wasn't important." Hunter's voice sounds through the door. "There's an massive attack coming through from the west." Reece almost drops me as he races to the door. Hunter and a group of warriors are waiting outside our ro

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

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.

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.

    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
