KELLENTala was already asleep by the time I made it back to our room last night. So, I never got to apologize or plead for her to forgive me.I tossed and turned all night, wanting to wrap my arms around her but didn’t dare touch her without her permission. I didn’t know if she wanted me to, or if she hated me for what I said and did.This was unchartered territory for me. The beastly side wanted to ravage and claim her, the sensible part was timid and shy. The indecision of how to act was like a plague on my mind.At some point, I did manage to sleep and woke to the sound of the shower running. The spot beside me was already cold, the shame of my actions surfacing once again and the thought that Tala was in such a hurry to get away from me crossed my mind.Swinging my feet over the side, I stand with purpose. I needed to apologize, hoping she would forgive me, and claim my mate back.Striding to the bathroom, slowly I open the door. Steam poured from behind the glass. The silhouette

LAMIAI pull at the tight pants that seem to want to ride up my ass. How did I ever wear these before? They were so uncomfortable. I was still getting used to the feel of this much clothing on my skin again. My body and senses were still adjusting to the vibration of this realm. The reason Mathias and I had come to the training grounds.Mathias wanted to see my reaction time when fighting. He was concerned and curious about my differences.I chuckle when Mathias casually lifts a hand, picking strands of hair that lay on my shoulder and tugging on them. “What?” I asked jokingly, giving him a side-eye.“Nothing. It's just strange that your hair is completely black now. But I’m digging it.” He gives me a broad smile and winks.“Yeah, you like pulling these dark locks when you straddle me from behind, King?” I joke back with a little innuendo, replaying our night.Since we bonded again, we haven’t been able to keep our hands off each other. This was always the case but this time, it's so m

MATHIASI put in a call to Marcus. Not just for Lamia’s sake but also for Kellen’s. I actually called Vivian to begin with as it perplexed me that Lamia didn’t want to see the triplets or go back to Riocht before we traveled to Asiarian.Little did I know Hunji had also spoken to Marcus and voiced his concerns too.My mate's mother settled my mind but divulged her own concerns at the same time. She knew her daughter best and as much as she wanted her daughter home and to meet her new grandchildren, she recalled how much Lamia was like her father.This is why Marcus came. He was her voice of reason.Lamia loved her mother, but she looked up to Marcus, and in return, Marcus doted on her, he also recognized her strengths and weaknesses and reminded her of who she truly was when she lost sight of direction. If she and Kellen were going to listen to anyone it would be her parents, mostly her father or Mike's parents.Marcus walks Lamia and Kellen out of the training ring, my mate hanging on

LAMIASeeing my father was bittersweet. He brought pictures of the triplets which had tears brimming in my eyes. Zachary and Maximus were so big already and Amali was the spitting image of me.Oh, how I missed them so much.Seeing the images of my pups almost broke me and had me wanting to pack and go back to Riocht immediately but I couldn’t. It wouldn’t be fair, and I wouldn’t want to leave them again. No, it was better this way.My father doted on Seneca and Connor and even showed Seneca pictures of her older brothers and sister who was eager to meet them. Even Zane came to greet my father, hanging on to his every word and Angelica wouldn’t leave him alone for a moment, she called him grandad too, climbing in his lap alongside Seneca.Kellen and I spent as much time as we could with him. It was good for both of us, especially Kellen as he dove into our time in the other realm and we told him everything, giving him the highlights and explaining our transition while we had been in the

LAMIATime is measured by a watch, the sun, and the moon. The cycle of the realm turning. Time is honored by nature, which flourishes and grows under its revolving sky and elements.A life is reliant on time. Some have more than others and some die sooner than expected. We are all born with an expiration date, that expiration date just isn't filled out.Then you have these things called walkers. Neither human nor monster where time stood still for them. Their hearts do not beat, their minds do not think, their bodies move but for what I do not know. They simply exist with no purpose, no means, no thought, no goal.Guilt riddled me for what I was about to do, making me wonder where this guilt was when I wanted to massacre the Changelings.When I initially was prepared to slaughter the Changelings it festered from raw hate and retaliation of who they previously served. With these walkers, I felt sorry for them. They did not come to be like this of their own free will. They were people, m

LAMIAKellen sat holding Seneca, cradling her against his chest. I thought there might be some jealousy from Mathias: Another Alpha holding his daughter like she was his.To my surprise, relief, and joy there wasn’t a hint of jealousy between the two Alpha’s. However, I could see Mathias was itching to have his daughter back in his arms.Letting go of Mathias’s hand I stand, walk around the table, and reach for Seneca. Kellen pulls her back frowning as he does. “Just a little longer.” He says with a pleading voice. His ocean-blue eyes gave me a puppy dog look.“You’ll see her again.” Tala laughs and balances Connor on her lap and plucks Seni from her mate's arms much to his dismay, his scowl becoming deeper. Making the scare down his face look more menacing.“I haven't been away from her in three thousand years,” Kellen grumbles feeling the loss as Tala hands me my child.Before I can even hand Seneca to Mathias, Zane holds out his arms as I round the table again. “Can I hold her pleas

LAMIAKellen, Mike, Tala, Lyric, and the pups left at sunrise, heading back to New Moon. Where more weapons would be manufactured and shipped with Kellen and Mike when they left from the New Moon coast to Asiarian, Tyron, the royal delta, and Mike's father would be in charge of New Moon warriors.Finn left to go back to the Kodiak Kingdom, hoping to tie up some stuff and aid Alpha Xander before he too traveled to the second content with a team of warriors. Leaving the Kodiak kingdom in Alpha Xanders's capable hands and Abner Brooks as backup.Rhett and Leneve would follow us to the Werecat Kingdom a few days later, after securing MacTire and leaving Josiah and Oliver with instructions. A handful of changelings would stay behind due to the threat of Aodh’s army reaching our shores. Petra had been sent on a mission to scout the shores to see if the rumors were true that a fraction of the dark army would land on our borders any day.Hunji and Morgan decided to head back to Riocht for thre

TOBIASThe days were hot, but the nights weren’t much better. I had sworn I would never return to the desert on the second continent again, but here I am knee knee-deep in war, leading shifters from all backgrounds.I walk across the rocky terrain heading for my tent. We had set up makeshift tents on the border of Asiarian and moved citizens from Bhakhil further into the country and closer to the capital.Each day shifters and humans from surrounding small countries were coming to the border. Only a few Andorian’s had managed to escape the chaos and destruction Aodh’s army had brought and made their way here.Those who could fight stayed at the border with us, preparing for the dark army to reach our position. We had suffered great losses on all fronts. Bhakhil was lucky the city had managed to evacuate before they were taken over.Sources tell us the dark army lingers on the outskirts of Bhakhil and will reach the Asiarian border within two weeks. Just thinking about it makes my heart

TALA3 months after defeating AodhThe vehicle jolted, jostling me back to reality from where I stared out the window. Slowly I turn my head to glance at Fergus. Rogue, as everyone else calls him, sat quietly. He too staring out the window. Unlike me who was lost in thought, even from this angle I could see his eyes darting from one tree to the next concentrating on eyeing potential threats.For some of us, the battle left us at ease knowing the realm's greatest enemy had been defeated. For others it only strengthened their insecurities, leaving them in a state of constant alert. Like Fergus. I don’t think his mind will ever leave the state of battle. Not just because of facing Aodh and his dark Army but also the past of when he was a slave under the rule of Vargr.Some experiences never leave a person. Though my own are with me constantly, I never let them rule my emotions. Tucking them away as memories and not dwelling on the past.He was mentally scared. Always in a state of high al
All The Queens Kings - Book 8 Epilogue
LAMIAFive years laterCasting my eyes upwards into the blazing sun I smiled to myself upon hearing the sound of children’s laughter as they splashed by the lake. We have come a long way in these short five years. Leneve and Damon had brought the age of technology back to the realm, building more communication towers across both continents. Damon’s family helped the second continent to rebuild by way of bringing materials and educating others on the infrastructure of building homes.Rhett, now king of MacTire until Angelica came of age, along with Leneve, joined forces with our new council headed by My father, Mike's father, Abner Brooks, and Crimson.The Changelings had found their place amongst the council as hunters and advocates for shifters and humans. Every kingdom offered an incentive to humans and shifters, offering a loan to those who started businesses in a bid to boost our economies.Oil refineries were open and thriving, and underworld beasts were still present as were oth
All The Queens Kings - Book 8 Chapter 51 – Nothing Really Ends
LAMIAThe older shifter sits perched in a tree above my head. Her green eyes, which match mine, now hold a cosmic glow, and she has an ethereal look about her.Like a child full of energy, she hops out of the tree, landing in front of me.I suddenly feel sorrow when I realize I will never see my pups jump and play. Never watch them climb a tree or find their mates.Palming my face, Ascena looks at me with pity. “I would say it is good to see you again, but I was hoping I wouldn’t have to. You defeated Aodh but at the cost of your life Lamia. I had hoped things would be different this time. For you and Inanna.”“I would do it again if it helped save our realm.” I bow my head unable to bear the thought that I wouldn’t see my Atman, my friends, my family, ever again. But I meant it. I would do it all over again if it meant a future not just for the realm but for my pups.“Come,” Ascena beckons. I follow her to the edge of the lake where she bends to the dark water's edge, sticking her fin

TRAVIS/JANUSEven with my newfound godly powers, I wasn’t fast enough. Everything happened in mere seconds, yet those mere seconds were an eternity. Watching what unfolded before my eyes and not being able to reach Lamia was crushing to my soul.Immediately after Ashe and I reached Regis Rock, she saw Mathias and went to his aid. My sights were drawn to Yggdrasil and Leneve battling it out with their magic.When Mathias flew up from the ground and took off at high speed, I was right behind him. I could almost see the fear and panic in his eyes as he rushed towards Aodh to rescue Lamia. By this time, Kellen, Mike, Hunji, and Rhett had already joined the effort to take down Aodh.As I flew towards the fight, I could see the dagger stuck in the underworld god’s chest. Right then I knew what Lamia was going to do, or at least try. It wouldn’t be her if she didn’t do something that could endanger her life.“Lamia no!” I shouted, leaping through the air to reach her, Mathias and I neck and

LAMIAI felt him before I saw him. My Atman rushed to our aide, more powerful than even when we had re-bonded.I felt the god inside him pulsing, his aura emanating from him like waves of authority. When my eyes caught Mathias, the aura of Arcas surrounded him as a brilliant blue hue of light. Like a barrier or shield.Behind him, also running at inhuman speed was Travis. My hope soared at the thought of defeating Aodh. I felt like we suddenly had a chance again.As I swung at the giant god with more gumption than only moments ago, my own aura rising and pushed out as I felt the inner goddess connect and strengthen me. I noticed Mike, Rhett, and Hunji jump in on the action. Each of them wielding their weapons and attacking Aodh with abandon.Hunji pulls Kellen out of the way, giving him the chance to recover and get back on his feet.With the four of us fighting against him, Mathias and Travis coming to aid our efforts, Aodh began to become confused with so many skilled and strong fig

MIKEMy fingers curled tightly as the force of electrocution sparked through my body. I was immobile, rendered useless by my own power Aodh had turned against me.The feeling of being electrocuted over and over was excruciating and I couldn’t break out of it.“Think Mike, think,” I say through the gripping pain with each thrust of electrifying light that sparks across me.This was my gift; how could it be my demise? I shook the thought from my head, I wouldn’t go out like this. Not this way.The sound of snorting and growling from Demon dogs and hellhounds could be heard coming closer. I tried to lift my head, to see just how close they were as all my senses had dulled from the torturous current that flowed through me. High above I could see the outline of large flying birds, circling the battleground. They had their eye on someone, but I couldn’t see who they were going to attack.If I didn’t get out of this hold, I was in, I was going to be dog food. Literally.My eyes shift to my le

TRAVISThe three sisters looked at me inquisitively. Three pairs of beady eyes were trained on me as they stood there rubbing their fat bellies. All are pregnant with Rhett's child.He was going to shit a brick when he found out.Ashe had taken me back to the sanctuary after helping out Tawny and MacTire. But I just couldn’t get Seneca out of my mind. Her tiny face and hands. Her warm touch and the connection I felt with her.“It’s time Janus,” Ashe says breaking my thoughts.My jaw clenches tightly as I turn to look at the old demigod. She had said she had one more left in her. I thought that it was getting me to the battlefield not back to the sanctuary. “Time for what?” I spit out with anger and annoyance. “You brought me back here instead of to Regis Rock! Why?”I should be there by Lamia’s side helping her to defeat Aodh. She needed me and my strength. She alone could not defeat him. We knew this. This is why she had me coming, why I was to aid her in the final stages of the battl
All The Queens Kings - Book 8 Chapter 46 – With Strength and Hope
LAMIAWhere the fuck was Travis with his newfound power of the god Janus? It was right about now that I needed him to show up as we had planned.Mathias was across the ravine knocked out holding half the staff in his hand. Finn was nowhere to be seen, while Kellen and I fought against the monstrous god.Large arms move in tandem as they swing the spiked swords at me and Kellen. I duck and roll beneath the heavy hitters, swiping at his legs though they heal almost immediately at every strike and blow we deliver to unprotected flesh.Deep and grating a bellowing chuckle comes from Aodh, “Give it up now and I will take you Inanna, as it should have always been. I shall leave your daughter to live in the new realm I build.”I shudder to think what his new realm would look like. Dark and full of decay crawling with creatures that would feed on the shifters and humans of this realm.I think not.“You couldn’t defeat me before. You can't defeat me now!” He laughs again. “You are mortal, strip
All The Queens Kings - Book 8 Author update
Dear readers,I wanted to update you on what has been going on behind the scenes as I have not posted a chapter in a while.For the past seven weeks, I had been taking care of my mother while she received in-home hospice care. She finally gave up fighting on October 15th. Before this, she was in and out of hospital with one surgery or another. It has been a long road for me and I still have a few miles to go before I reach a junction or turning point. I will return to writing as soon as the family can officially say goodbye to her. She was an avid reader of this app. My only regret is that I couldn’t finish the final chapters of All the Queens Kings before she passed.Please allow me a little more time and as always, I am thankful for your understanding and support during this difficult time.Much love xx
