The three friends sat in Karl’s office trying to decide what to do, it was Christmas in five days, Aurora had been gone a month and Alexis was dying there was no hiding it, without his mate, he had lost the will to live.‘She has to come home.’Karl stated emphatically and the Gammas nodded eagerly,‘Do you have a plan to entice her?’They asked but he shook his head and produced a syringe,‘We do not have time for such niceties, I am sending you two on the Pack jet with four of our best Trackers. Locate her, isolate her, use the drug to sedate her and bring her home by force. I will not allow the Alpha to die because she is a spoilt pampered little brat who always wants her way. Alexis is my brother, not by blood but by love and nothing is going to stop me from giving him what he needs to survive. You have two hours to pack what you need. When you get there you have forty-eight hours to locate her and get her on the jet in whatever way you can. Do I make myself understood?’Gideon an
‘Oh no, I cannot do that you are a guest in our city and my Alpha would never forgive me if I did not offer you a place to stay at our Pack House. Don’t worry, we have plenty of spare rooms and guests are always welcome.’Her whole demeanour changed, she moved into the corner of the seat as far away from him as she could get and the warmth left her eyes as they became hard emeralds.‘I’m sorry I do not wish to offend you but I have to stay in London, please just drop me off anywhere and I will find myself a place to stay.’Her voice was harder and she was giving off Alpha waves which surprised him but he was firm and pressed his foot on the accelerator,‘It’s no trouble Aurora and I don’t have a choice. My Alpha would kill me if I did not bring you to meet him after I told him I found you at the airport.’She forced her anger down. This was her fault. She had allowed him to take her from the airport and got in the SUV willingly. Now, she had to stay calm and get away.Tariq watched he
He caught her small hand in his and kissed her wrist with old-fashioned gallantry, he hid his smile when she tugged it away in disgust,‘I am not pleased to meet you, I have been brought here against my will, your dumb Beta did not seem to understand that I intended to find a hotel in the city centre.’She snapped at him her eyes glittering with anger,‘She was adorable.’He thought, his eyes drinking her in, she barely came up to his shoulder, her slender figure no match for his muscled strength. She was wet through, her clothes wrinkled and ruined, her ice blonde hair hung around her in damp rat tails and yet she was the most beautiful woman he had ever come across.‘I am sorry to hear that Aurora but as you are here now, please allow me to show you some hospitality. Your clothes are wet, you are shivering and you do not know London at all, so please, come into my home and let me help you.’He made sure she could not protest further by placing his hand on the small of her back and p
He groaned fighting with himself, he had meant to tease her a little and then leave her to shower wanting more, they did not know each other and he had planned to take his time getting to know her before getting her into his bed. She nipped his lip then when he lifted his head to look into her eyes and followed that by nipping his neck as she was level with his chest he groaned when she bent her head and sucked his nipple making him lose his battle to take it slowly. Breaking the kiss he spun her around placing his large hand over both her small ones pinning her to the glass.‘Mine.’He grunted bending her forward and pressing his engorged cock between her ass cheeks pushing at her entrance, she was making soft little panting noises of pleasure and arched her back offering herself to him. Logan was beyond speech as his wolf roared forward at the scent of her arousal it was so powerful he lost all sense of reason and grabbed her roughly with one hand on her hip and the other tangling i
She pushed back and Logan gave a deep growl, he had never been challenged in this way before, as Alpha his Pack obeyed him without question,‘How was this little female wolf holding him off.’He frowned,‘You have magic.’It was a statement, not a question and he reined in his Alpha power and smiled at her,‘You are not the only one.’ He whispered and nodded toward an elderly female shifter who had come into the lounge, Aurora let out a howl of pain as invisible hands picked her up and flung her across the room. She hit the wall so hard three of her ribs cracked and pain shot through her every time she took a breath, spinning around she faced the woman and lifted her head her eyes glowing molten gold. Logan watched his witch’s expression change, she had been confident when she spoke to him through their Pack link, but now a look of sheer terror crossed her face
His voice was bleak as he strode out to the waiting SUV, four of his Warriors were tracking her through the woods and the rest of them were going by car they hoped to pick her up quickly she was bound to be lost she did not know the area.He underestimated Aurora’s ability to navigate through situations such as these, she had learned very early in her life that she could rely on no one but herself. There was no knight in shining armour coming to rescue her she had to learn to fend for herself and she had suffered many brutal beatings from her father along the way. He had wanted her meek and docile dependent on him, his pretty obedient daughter, if she stepped out of line for even the slightest misdemeanour he whipped her. He aimed to break her so badly it would kill her wolf but she had grown too powerful and he had never known about the magic her mother had blessed her with on her death. She found her way to the outskirts of London and snagged some clothes from a washing line and
Morgana glared at him,‘Do not mock what you do not understand Alpha. Aurora truly is a Daughter of Merlin, a rare and special witch with powers beyond anything I can only dream of. When she finally joins with her Coven they will remove all the blocks her mother put in place and she will fly solo for the first time, her powers will be absolute. You will have forty-eight hours to mate her and claim her for yourself after that your mark will heal and she will be at the mercy of every Male with a pulse.’Alexis had not been aware of this,‘What do you mean my mark will heal? She is my mate and I have already claimed her as mine.’‘You did not complete the mating Alpha. Without that final act, you are not fully mated and the magic will find that out she will have no say in it, the mark will heal overnight and I would guess she will be thrown straight into a Haze. She needs to be mated with a pup in her belly so her wolf and her magic can unite within her and release her full potential.’Mo
He growled his head turning from side to side in agitation,‘Alpha, she is with her sisters. Tonight is the equinox of the Blood Moon, when it reaches its zenith at midnight Aurora will be blooded into the Coven and come into her full powers.’Alexis spun around not liking the sound of a ‘blooding’‘Sisters? What are you talking about? Aurora does not have any Siblings she is an only child.’Gideon looked puzzled and Luke frowned,‘She has never mentioned any Siblings to us Morgana.’The Witch smiled and shook her head,‘No, you misunderstand me, Gentlemen. The sisters I am referring to are the Coven members, they are her relatives however distant the blood link is all the Daughters of Merlin are related through their blood.’Alexis growled again this time it was deeper and more commanding imposing his Alpha powers on them,‘Will you focus on the reason we are here, we are close she is here somewhere and I need to find her urgently. If she is blooded tonight then I must mate with her
The Knight scowled and drew a small razorsharp knife from his boot,‘Very well Warlock I see it has come to this. You will never let me claim what is rightfully mine, I get that.‘He raised the knife and the darkness around them intensified,‘That would be a very foolish thng to do Mordred.’He looked up as Morgana approached him,‘You have no say in this you traitrous bitch. We had everything and you threw it away. Together we could have reigned Camelot, we could have ..’His voice trailed off in anguish,‘No brother, we had nothing, and you now it but won’t accept it. We could never beat Arthur, he was/is Englands greatest King. He is at peace now sleeping but when he is needed he will return and save this green and pleasant land heloved so much. Killing the Hybrid will not change that, mating her will bring you nothing, she is not yours to mate with.’Morgana stopped in front of him and lifted her hand taking the silver knife and placing it beside Aurora then she took Mordreds hand
He indicated his men who now stood around the room guns drawn pointing toward the witches in the circle.‘I don’t care how many of them I have to kill but you will tell me.’Two shots rang out in the quiet Ballroom and two witches collapsed to the floor blood streaming from their chests. Aurora slowly pushed herself to her feet, she was not quite fully aware of what had happened to her but instinct told her she had to stop Mordred and his men.‘He is unhurt.’She said meeting the eyes of Mordreds Military Leader,‘He is back at your base but you tell him if he comes for me again I will not spare his life.’‘You do not have that choice little Hybrid, I have claimed you and that fucking puppy cannot protect you from my magic.’She let out a gasp of pain as cuffs appeared on her wrists and ankles and she found herself in a dungeon chained to a damp wall, unable to access her magic. Mordred appeared with his men,‘Don’t bother trying little Hybrid those cuffs are spelled to block your mag
The Priestess linked the other witches of the Coven and they formed a circle around Aurora holding hands and joining their powers,‘No one will hurt your wolf little Hybrid all I ask is for you to send her to sleep until this ceremony is over. She has no part to play in it and it would be in her interests to step aside voluntarily.’She told her and strangely enough, Aurora agreed gently urging Venus to her corner to sleep, and the wolf could not resist her human power curling up and drifting into sleep without a murmur.The instant Venus disconnected from her as she went into a deep REM sleep the pain hit and Aurora’s body arched up as if shocked by electricity a scream torn from her lips. The Ballroom went dark, all the candles were snuffed out and the people shuffled and whispered nervously‘Do not move any of you and please maintain your silence. What is about to happen to our little Hybrid will be painful but not life-threatening to her. It is not a pleasant sight to witness but
This was her destiny, what her mother wanted for her, these women were her family, descending from the Great Warlock just as she had. Lifting her chin she began to walk down the stairs, instantly all eyes turned to look at her and she heard the gasps of wonder, she looked radiant, ethereal and more beautiful than ever. The Priestess came forward and took her hand,‘Come Hybrid, it is almost time.’She allowed her to lead her to the Sacred Cross. It was worn smooth, and the pale golden wood seemed to glow warm in the candlelight as they stopped in front of it.‘My fellow Witches, it is nearly time for the blooding, the Moon is about to reach its zenith and our Hybrid is returned to us.’Aurora focused on the cross not wanting to see the people watching or she knew she would panic and run back to her room. She hated being the centre of attention but this could not be avoided. She was jerked back into the present when the Priestess placed her hand on her arm,‘Are you ready Hybrid?’She
He growled his head turning from side to side in agitation,‘Alpha, she is with her sisters. Tonight is the equinox of the Blood Moon, when it reaches its zenith at midnight Aurora will be blooded into the Coven and come into her full powers.’Alexis spun around not liking the sound of a ‘blooding’‘Sisters?
