Vamir
I stood up slowly and followed the doctor. "She is weak, and you will only have a few minutes," he said, and I nodded.
The doctor opened a curtain, and under a flimsy hospital gown and a white sheet was lying a pale Sarula. At the sound of the curtain, she opened her beautiful eyes, and the tip of her ears blushed. I adore seeing that hue in her.
I slowly walked to the edge of her bed, "Hey... you scared me." I sighed, and she bit her lower lip.
"Thanks for not letting me die." She softly said, and I nodded.
"I would never..." I sighed, and she nodded.
"Do you know what happened?" She asked,
"The refreshments were poisoned. I don't believe the final target was you and Axelled, but the queen." I sighed and rolled out a little chair to the edge of her bed.
"What kind of poison?"
Stormee AdalwulfSeeing Vamir's devotion to Sarula was something I was expecting. Aelfred was surprised that his best friend had feelings for Sary, but it was only natural to me. Poor man, being around Aelfred his entire life, and suddenly all that time he devoted to the realm, wasted from chasing a bit of happiness.I briefly saw Sary and assured her that Petra, Eiry, and I would handle things. She just had to concentrate on recovering. Besides, we must find out who planned this attack because it was not only what killed Axelle, clearing my name from the contaminated product, but also having Sary poisoned, making us think that the primary target was not Axelle or Sary but me.Aelfred felt highly nervous about me leaving his side, and I felt like drowning. I needed space. Indeed, I didn't want to take unnecessary risks, but it was ridicu
SarulaVamir was my mate, and I should have been elated because, aside from being a very handsome elven man, he is a great guy... but... as usual, the big if and of my father trying to use my feelings and his to his advantage was a looming dark cloud over me.After talking with Stormee about intimate things, she and the king left the hospital, leaving me with Vamir again."You don't seem happy," Vamir said, and I shook my head,"I am just tired..." I said, and he nodded. I could tell he partially believed my words because they were partial truth."Then, have some rest. I will be right here..." He said in a tender voice, and I slowly nodded. I closed my eyes but was unable to fall asleep. My mind kept reeling, wishing I was braver like Petra, stronger like Stormee, or gorgeous like Eirula... but I was none of that. I
VamirThe kiss was out of this world. I could tell it was her first kiss, and despite her inexperience, it felt amazing. I will never forget it and treasure the connection and love we both poured into it.I have been devoted to my job, and having her with me was unexpected, but she grounded me; she made me want to be a better man for the sake of my king, my people, and my family. For the first time, the prospect of having a family felt real.I removed my shoes and cuddled her in bed. Her back pressed against my front. My fingers caressed her soft hair while my chin rested on her shoulder. I whispered sweet words, lulling her into a deep slumber. Sarula was the illegitimate daughter of Elder Audon, the bastard who ordered the poisoning of the refreshments. I was sure that much. He didn't care about her life or her destiny. The fucker had no regard for her, and I was sure when he found out she was my fated mate, he would try to use our bond to get some advantage.
VamirI have never been so nervous, not even when I have to address the entire realm with a government announcement. Today, I am taking Sary out on our first date, and despite carefully planning everything, I couldn't help but pace the room nervously.As the Chief royal Advisor, I have a lovely property close to the castle. I had purchased it and wanted Sary to love it as much as I do. I am more than ready for the next step in my life; having my mate and family seems natural.I checked the time and chuckled... I must get to my car in about ten minutes to be at her doorstep on time. I don't have Royal Blood, but my status grants me the ability to create portals like Aelfred. However, for some reason, I don't want to take any shortcuts tonight.I want to enjoy the drive under the moon and the stars... I want to enjoy soft music in the background while I hold her hands. Using a porta would be convenient but shorten the time we spend together. If I used a por
SarulaIt was a dream come true. Everything about tonight felt right: the place, the ambiance, the food, the talk, its presence, the comfort. Even when the date started a bit awkward, thanks to my nerves and the mishaps that happened around my getting ready time, his calm and soothing presence made everything better.I didn't want to admit it, but I had missed him. I wanted to be around him, I needed it. He became my center and my anchor, and I hope to be something close to that for him."Sary," he called out my name. The way it rolled out in his baritone voice made me shiver. It was something I would certainly struggle to control—my reaction to his voice, his touch, his eyes on mine."Have you missed me?" It was as if he was reading my mind. I was surprised that he was asking such questions. Isn't he this powerful Royal
VamirI kissed her tenderly, with despair. I have never felt this way about anyone in my entire life, and I never thought it would ever happen to me. I was afraid it would happen, but now that it has, I want to hold onto it for an eternity.I left her lips and rested my forehead on hers. "Sary..." I said her name in a breathless whisper. "Is it too soon?" I muttered, and she sighed."I don't know..." she answered with the same shortness of breath."Come with me..." I said, and she stood up. Lacing my fingers with hers, I led the way into the house and up the stairs to my bedroom. I could feel her trembling under my fingers, and I found it astonishing that this brilliant and confident woman would become so nervous around me.I stood outside my bedroom door and turned around to face her. I lifted her chin, and she shi
SarulaI woke up in his arms and gasped. The feeling of being embraced and loved was overwhelming. I was an illegitimate daughter of a mighty man; I was raised to believe that I didn't deserve love or care. I grew up yearning precisely that, and now that I have found it, that our gods have gifted me with this beautiful bond, I feel overwhelmed and unworthy.He kissed my shoulder tenderly, and I sighed. Shivers and goosebumps covered my skin. "Morning..." he said in a deep voice,I turned around in his arms and smiled at him, "Hey..." I said softly. Now that I was facing him, I was lost in his mesmerizing swirling eyes. He leaned forward and pecked my lips. His fingers trailed my arm up and down."Best night ever..." he said softly, and I blushed. And so far, the best morning is so long..." He took a deep breath, making me bite my lips."Likewise..." I said, and he chuckled."You sound so formal, as if you were in a business meeting. Tell me
SarulaAudon left, and I scoffed. Yes, I am terrified of what the bastard has in store, but I am not stupid, and I will never betray my queen, my king, or all my mates. My mate is devoted to them and would give his life for theirs, so I would.Stormee Adalwülf was the first person to show kindness and friendship and appreciate me for who I am. I am not going to betray that; it is not a matter of betraying the crown but betraying my friend.I knew that, at first, I only saw two options, but once I calmed down, I saw a third one, and that one was what I believed would be the best. If I told him, Vamir would blow a gasket; he would punch Audon in the face. Despite the idea being completely and utterly satisfying, I am sure we can make the most out of this if we follow a different path, but to do so, I need the intelligence and confiden
VamirI knew how distressed Sary was about the entire thing. The only way to watch her closely and be in the game is to get undercover. This means I will have to speak ill of Al for this mission's purposes.Al approved, so I won't feel as bad as I would have if he had thought the idea risky and stupid."We are going to be alright..." I wrapped my arm around Sar, and she nodded."I am sure I will get the short end of this..." She sighed, and I nodded."Yeah, but it was what we signed for..." I sighed, and she nodded."You are right. We're doing this and will be smart enough to pull this through..." She composed herself, and I kissed her temple. She was such a sweet being that every cell in my body screamed at me to protect her and make love to her, but we were in the middle of a meeting, so the protection would be the one I should follow."Alright, keep us posted on how you scurry in there..." Al said, and I nodded. "Now, next topic. S
Stormee AdalwulfWhen I finally arrived home, Al greeted me with a tender kiss. "Hey... How are things at the pharmaceutical company?" he asked, and I sighed."Complicated, there are too many things to fix, and I need the information to start making decisions as soon as possible... but I am certain about Anders and Daylor, and in cahoots with Audon..." I said, and he nodded.How certain?? He asked."As certain as Anders dared warn me..." I shrugged my shoulders and saw a deep, guttural fury cross Al's eyes."No one fucking threatens you and gets away with it..." He grunted, staring into my eyes, and I cupped his cheek."I am sure we will see to it..." I said, hoping that my touch would relax him.He took a deep breath, "Alright, what else?" he asked,"Yeah, there is another issue... Flavian was brought to my attention..." I sighed, and he squinted his eyebrows."What problem?" He crossed his arms in front of his chest, w
Stormee AdalwulfThe meetings were endless, enlightening, but tiring. The first meeting was with Flavian from Supply Chain."So, Flavian... I need an overall run of how you commit to your purchases. I want to see if raw materials have been going to waste and if we are getting the best prices and deals for our supplies. I also need an overall run of how the equipment is handled from start to end," I said, and he nodded."For starters, Your Highness..." he paused and deeply breathed."Everything said here will be kept confidential..." I said, and he nodded."I was instructed to lower the quality of raw materials... So I have been on a goose chase trying to find the best quality at the best price. We haven't committed big purchases from our regular suppliers because we won't pay the cost asked of us." Flavian sighed, clearly under stress. I didn't want to be in his shoes."Who ordered the cost cut? And who authorized lowering the quality of mat
Stormee AdalwulfAfter carefully planning our trip to the pharmaceutical company for a week, Petra, Eiry, and I are heading towards our destination in a car.When our vehicle with the royal was spotted closing at the gate, I saw people panicking. I am done playing cat and mouse games. I am here, I am their queen, and I demand answers. This situation is as simple as adding two plus two."Aren't they terrified?" Eiry mumbled, and I nodded."How many do you think soiled their undies?" Petra said, and I scrunched my face in disgust. Please give it to her to make comments that are so disgusting and get away with them."I don't know. Should we check how many rears look tarnished or brown?" Eiry said casually while I laughed."Why are you enabling her?" I asked Eirula between laughter."I am not enabling anything; as a mother, I am always looking for soiled things..." She shrugged her shoulders, and I rolled my eyes."Really, how does
BREAKING STORM / BOOK 2 Chapter65 - TryingStormee AdalwulfI rested my head on Al's shoulder and sighed. "What's on your mind?" he asked, and I looked up at him."That Sary is smart enough to tell Vamir something..." I sighed, and he chuckled."What?" I lifted myself from his chest, and he laughed,"Do you think we didn't figure that out?" He said, and I blushed,"So you know about our little deception?" I lowered my gaze. I hated to conceal things from him...He slowly nodded, "Are you mad?" I asked,"At first, I was more than mad... I was concerned... but then I realized that I have a very capable mate... and that whatever risk you were undertaking, it was thought risk..." He paused. "Also, I understand that Vamir would have gone all caveman around this situation, and what you did was for
SarulaLaying in bed with his arms wrapped around my naked body has been liberating. He is everything I have ever wanted to have in my life, and now I am more confident than anything; I should've trusted him from the beginning.Telling him about my sire trying to use me for his interests was as liberating as making love. I could see it in his eyes that he already knew or at last suspected... But hearing it from me was something that he needed. It was a sign of trust, love, and being one mind and soul split into two bodies."I want to mark you..." He said, kissing my neck, and I sighed."The night will be over soon..." I said, and he chuckled."Do you believe lovemaking is only reserved for when we are in the dark?" He said in a sensual voice, and I softly nodded."Well, my dear mate, you are in for a surprise..." he said, tenderly kissing my neck and sending me into an overdrive.I always believed that because the first mating was a t
*Song: Close Your Eyes, by Michael Bubble*VamirI kissed her. Her lips moved along with mine—soft, tender strokes. Shy and beautiful, she trembled between my hands. I licked the seam of her lips, and she parted them, allowing me to enter. I didn't wait a second to move my tongue inside her mouth. With long, soft caresses over hers, I could taste the pizza, wine, and her. Somehow, a particular flavor and scent only belonged to her.It was the most exciting of them all. My Sary, who tasted like soft flowers about to open up to the morning dew and smelled of fresh, innocent flowers, was driving me crazy.I parted ways, both of us panting. "I told you I was going to tell you whatever is going to happen ahead of time..." I said to her, locking my gaze with hers. Both of our gazes danced with passion and nee
VamirI entered my place and walked towards the foyer. "Sary?" I called out to her. I was expecting somewhat of a greeting at my arrival."In the kitchen..." She replied, and then my senses got tuned to whatever was happening in that direction. I was pleasantly surprised by the smells that came out. All of them were enticing and mouthwatering, and the cherry on top was my mate's scent. Damn it! I have missed out on so much while waiting for the right one to show up, but now that I am here, living this, I would have waited another thousand years for her. Only her.We must work on many aspects of our relationship, especially trusting each other. Once I found out about what Audon had done, I was hurt by her silence. I should be the first one on her mind when there is trouble. I am here for her! But then, she is used to being alone in the world, and trusting a man should not come easy, considering the man close to her is a manipulative elder.When I entered t
SarulaMy heart was pounding when I received a message from an unknown number: "I want you to gather information about the upcoming gatherings the queen will attend."I didn't know who the message came from, so I immediately told Storm. She was happy to provide me with a detailed schedule of fake appearances, and I rolled my eyes. It was too stressful to try to deceive my sire. He was a powerful elder, and I was sure he would cross-check the information I had provided.I asked Stormee to mix a couple of real meetings to make this entire thing more believable, and she agreed. It was like playing the cat and mouse with a very dangerous predator. I wouldn't say I liked it, but I knew we had no choice.Adding to all this stress, another situation had my head reeling and my heart beating frantically. In my small haze this morning, I told Vamir I was ready to be intimate. I did not consider the extent of my words, nor did I consider that he could tell my emotio
