Kieran and Lyra were inseparable, they did everything together. They had lost so much, losing each other was their greatest fear, so they clung to each other, in everything that they did.Centuries had passed since I had bought a set of Islands just off the coast, to provide a safe place from traders and to raise my little ones, Aurora and Sam had moved with me, and I opened my Kingdom up to all non-humans that didn't have a home. My kingdom flourishes with Vampires, Shapeshifters, and many others, we are known as the 'Orphan's Kingdom'. But in truth, we are one big happy family. Kieran and Lyra blossomed, their bond remained unbreakable, forged in the fire of tragedy.My heart swelled with pride, witnessing their resilience.Aurora, my twin, became their guiding light, with her own son, Sam, who was the same age as Lyra. The trio grew up together, My sister and I, navigated the challenges of raising orphans, after the death of her own mate.Lyra's smile could light up the darkest n
Kieran called me in a panic. Telling me that he, Sam, Lyra, and his new friend. Had almost been killed in an explosion on a Riverboat. They were on a date. He and his new friend had been kidnapped by Shade. He was drugged and they had all battled him, they won the fight but he was still alive. He told me that Shade was after his date, That he wanted her for himself but she wanted nothing to do with him. I told him to keep her safe and I reminded him of Shade's last words to his mother before he killed her "If I can't have you, no one will!" "I will be there soon, I want to meet her," I said as I hung up the phone, My heart was racing, my beast spoke of her as his mate. I paced the floors. Could this be happening now?**** Kie spoke to Sam and Lyra, "Dad and Aunt Aurora are coming he wants to meet Raven and help us with Shade, and also get the daylight fusion."Raven blushed, she had never met a Vampire King before, and since they all had moved in with her to give her protection. He
Brent walks up behind me, easy there, that mate bond is like dynamite when it happens, do you want to reveal that here and now? he asks me, then I come to my senses and walk up to her, kissing her hand."Well aren't you a vision of loveliness!" as I take her hand and twirl her around once, soaking in her beauty. Kie smiles at his Father and knows something is up. His father has never acted like this around females since his mother passed.I make the gut-wrenching decision to let fate decide.... Raven needs to feel the mate bond too, I don't care how long it takes, I will wait for her....even if it takes forever. She is well worth the wait.**Then suddenly everyone freezes as Ahkin appears. **"What's happening?" I asked, staring at my beautiful mate, frozen before me."We are at a crossroads, Niklaus, the gods have smiled down upon you this day!" he moves closer to me as we both look at Raven, "She is a beauty, and also a Demi god, she doesn't even know it. Shade stole her and her br
That night there was a shift in space and time as well as future events, Erzulie Red-Eyes, loa of vengeance, and Ahkin, god of eternity, stood side by side as they smiled down on them, "We did well." he said to her, "We did and now Lyra will live too, we still have to deal with Shade Marcus," he said."Let me speak with Camazotz, he'll put an end to his changing the balance of things for his own selfish needs," Erzulie said.****I carried Raven to her bed, still kissing her with great passion, Raven whispered shyly into my ear, "I've never done this before," she blushed."I know," I said. "I have waited for you so long..Just let me love you.""I have dreamed of you too, and when I saw your face I knew," Raven said."I know, this all is happening very fast, I can slow down if you want me to." My breath was warm on her neck and her panties were soaked, I could smell them and it drove me insane. I promised her I would slow down but I didn't know if I could. I was already hard and throb
Aurora had made breakfast, like a Royal breakfast, Sam was in heaven eating like he had not had food in years. When he got the call from a local High school asking him if he would cater to some of the students who wanted Limo rides to the prom, He said that he would, and jotted down the names and numbers of those who requested them. Kieran had made arrangements for Dr. Brooks, a Non-human specialist, to do the daylight fusion for his Dad and Aunt Aurora. Dr Brooks walked in with her staff, she only does house calls until she gets the funds for her office. So after they got set up, she explained the procedure to King Niklaus and Aurora, of course, they had already asked Kie, Lyra, and Sam how theirs went and heard all about being able to go out in the daylight and live a solid life now. They wanted it too, and if it went well, Niklaus said he would fly her and her staff to his Island, paying for all to have the fusion as well. He said to call it an extended vacation on the islands,
Chapter 24 Sunrise and VisionsI watched my twin sister rush into the door, like a teenager she ran up to us telling us the news, "Sam has found his mate!" she was so excited. I held her tight watching Raven smile. "Is that why he hung up the phone so fast" she nodded yes! "He's with her now!" Raven took out a special bottle of wine and we waited for Sam to walk in telling us how it went. He finally walked in the door with a smile that lit up the room, all eyes were on him. "Her name is Sophia, she is a teacher at the school, and she is my mate!" he could not stop smiling, we all toasted him with the finest blood-laced wine. "We have a date for tomorrow night."We talked for hours then Sam drove us all to the shore where we watched our first sunrise, my life had changed from loneliness to to a life filled with love and happiness.Sunrise painted the sky, as the horizon ignited, we stood transfixed, our eyes witnessing the impossible for our kind.Centuries of darkness, shattered by
I stride into my office, with my confident gait and piercing gaze commanding attention and the smile on my face says that last night was very pleasing. Sam, my trusted advisor, watches with a grin."Niklaus, the Vampire Council has reached out to you," Sam announces, his voice low and serious. "They wish to discuss the recent... developments."My lips curve into a sly grin. "Ah, yes. I've been expecting their call. Shade's defeat and subsequent hiding, have revealed his deeds and the ones he still holds prisoners."Sam nods. "And they believe you're the ideal King for this area, Niklaus," Sam smiled."I have enough with my own Kingdom," I make a quick call to summon Kieran.Kie enters and listens to my plan, and his smile widens. "Indeed, the defeat of Shade, shattering his hold on this kingdom, this was just the beginning. Now, it's time for you, my son to take your rightful place as the new Vampire King of this area." I smile with pride as Lyra walks in, "and she will assist you a
Inside, Asher awaits, his eyes gleaming in the darkness. "Thank you for coming," he says, his voice low and mysterious. "We know they are in there, we have been watching them for weeks now, Only the lower-level demons come out at night." "Is there another way in?" I asked, one way in and one way out, is a bad place to be in a fight with demons.My eyes narrow, my vampire instincts on high alert, and then I recognize him as one of my old guards. "So you've seen him? What all do you know, Asher? Were you involved?" Kie asked. Asher hesitates, glancing around nervously. "Hello King Kieran," he says. "No, I wasn't involved, but he had me there the night it all happened, I didn't know why until later.. Kieran, all the guards desperately want out of the Shade's grip, but he won't let us leave, he has our families, holding them hostage! We don't know where, plus he's brought in rogue demons and witches. My wife was taken by them, and I have been told she is dead. He looked away. "They're
