Bride of the Beast Chapter Sixty One
HECTOR BAYES I hadn't been in the banquet hall for as much as three minutes before I realized I hated it.Three minutes!That was all it had taken for me to walk right into the green-eyed imp again. The slender line of her shoulders went rigid when she realized I was the one behind her. Like I was some monster!But you are Hector, forgotten our past so soon have you? A small voice nudged inside me and I preemptively tried to shake it off, but it stayed, the voice.Like poison in my marrows.I wished there was some other way to get through to the woman, but I was beginning to realize I might never be able to convince Nola Reynolds to stay.She was like that, stubborn and head-strong once she'd made up that impish mind of hers.She might be the one that gets away, and I was powerless to stop it. I couldn't watch her all the time. Not even the witch could manage that, and Ma Jules had three eyes. “Your highness, sweets for you,” A willowy elder I vaguely realized from my father’s parti

NOLA REYNOLDSI’d locked eyes with the man on the stage before his intense gray orbs fitted away from me.It was the first time I was seeing what he looked like for the party, how he cleaned up.“Beautiful isn’t he? Oh! The way he looked at me! Did you see?” Dennis’ frenzied whisper reached my ears so that I had to tamp down on an exasperated sigh.First off bitch, he was looking at me! Not your universe-sized forehead!I snapped in my head, faking a tight smile when she glanced my way when I’d already murdered the maiden fifty times in my head.There was something different about him, the Lycan. He was beautiful still, but there was a steel cast to his angular features now, the foreboding dark line around his eyelids that looked like exquisitely good Halloween makeup- and believe me, those ARE hard to come by.The crowd exploded into applause around me suddenly, snapping me out of whatever horror I’d been on the brink of discovering as the yellow and fluorescent candescence of the ba

HECTOR BAYESYou could have heard a werewolf fart in the silence that followed after I had confronted the witch, starting her down until she released the maiden in her iron claws with a sullen demeanor.“This does not concern you, your highness,” The Witch announced, and a gasp floated through the crowd before the woman added, almost as an afterthought,“With all due respect. We're fine, I was just reminding the maiden of a few things, of her duties.” Ma Jules grated, narrowing her eyes at the woman who was trying to tug her hand free before I placed my hand over hers and the witch jerked away, yelping.“She attacked me Hect- Your highness! It was most definitely not okay.” Nola growled, cutting her eyes at the woman and looking pointedly at her feet.I felt the white heat of rage flood around the corners of my eyes as a guttural growl rumbled through the crowd before I realized it was coming from me and clenched my teeth to keep from biting off the hag's head.No one touched my maide

NOLA REYNOLDS.My heart hammered almost painfully in my chest when I felt Kalden’s hands leave my arm as the Lycan beast barreled toward us, and the white-faced crowd parted around the King.He was coming here! Why was he coming here?“I'll take it from here,” Hector growled, his eyes boring into the dark-haired man with such ferocity even I shrunk away a little bit.Excuse me?“I’ll see you around.” Kalden mouthed to me before he bowed to the Lycan whose gray eyes had come to rest on me now, much to my dismay.The medley of chords now sounded jumbled to my ears as I caught the odd looks that were being slyly cast our way before the Lycan stepped right up to me so that we stood shoulder to nose, the heat rolling off his frame stiffening my nipples until they were as hard as small pebbles, chaffing sweetly against my underwear.”I’m not dancing with you.” I blurted caustically, managing my meanest glare up at the man who took my hand wordlessly, forcing me back into the dancing circle

HECTOR BAYESWhat I was doing, what I planned to do, as I led the woman right through the watching crowd of dignitaries and rubber-mouthed werewolves was nothing short of insane. It was batshit crazy!”Where are we going?” Nola’s frenzied whisper came from below and i looked down to see that she was watching me avidly. The salt drying on her cheeks in the frigid bite of the wind that was blowing a whistle through the sepia blackness.I hesitated, a flicker of confusion raking through my form as I paused with one leather-bound foot in front of the other.The royal throne room was the only colored building in the stone fortress. A staggering edifice of bronze and multi-colored diamonds shone oddly in the watery fluorescent of the moon.It was risky, what we were doing. Everyone had seen us leave, and if they looked for the maiden, which I suspected they would sooner than we could finish like I suspected they would, then it was only a matter of time and a good head on their shoulders bef

NOLA“Shit.” Hector breathed, before marching to a stop as a cloud of ice fogged up his face and we paused in the castle foyer, the stone buildings around us looming like boogeymen in the dark.I fisted my free hand in the feathery ends of my see-through lilac ball gown, tugging the other hand that was warm in the Lycan beast’s deadlock grip.“What?” I whispered, a shiver running up my spine as I looked to see what the man had stopped to stare at.The mountain council elders. You could tell by the chunky gold rings that laced each of their stubbly fingers as one of the stout-looking skinheads threw back his great plain head to laugh at something the circle had said, the red butt of a cigarette glinting between his two fingers.They were standing in the great foyer, blocking the way to where I supposed was the mountain city’s palace. The Lycan’s throne room.A trickle of trepidation itched at my armpit as I waited on the man to make a move, my eyes catching the gleam of an upside-down

HECTOR BAYESThe mountain city’s throne room was carved from the tears and sweat of the village workers thousands of years ago, but I don't tell the maiden that as we entered the ornately designed expanse, closing the door softly behind us.“Hector,” Nola breathed, and heat swarmed my chest until I was about as puffed up as a courting rainbow peacock.I watched the woman’s eyes go wide as she took in the red, high ceiling of the throne room and the gold cups of the snake-like chandelier that was swinging slowly in the space.“It's beautiful,” The maiden gasped, walking up to the glossy shine of the gold glass walls and scrubbing it back to its shine when her breathing fogged up the pale yellow glass.I followed her tentative steps, touching each gold-lined crevice until we were at the foot of the great dias where my throne was.Small silver skulls lined the frame of the square seat where the diamond had been matted with brown fur.I did not need to tell the maiden that the skulls were

HECTOR BAYES“There he is! Seize him!” A warbled voice screamed in the time it had taken me to register what was going on.The scrunched-up faces of the bald, scullery witches shone in the moonlight, their iron-cast skin glossy enough that it made my eyes unable to focus on their form, watering around my lids and shifting away from their long bodies.Camouflage magic! I had known then, as they cast their nettle trap laced with wolfsbane, that I was no match for their expertise.”Seize the prince, Haggard! Don't let him get away!” The slender which I’d seen earlier screeched, her shrill voice grating in my ear so that I ground my teeth together in agony, stars bursting in my vision as I struggled in the nettle that burned my fur with a smoky hiss where it dug in.”You will pay for this hag! All of you! I will avenge my father’s blood!” I thundered, baring my teeth at the women who I was almost certainly convinced had cackled and brayed with amused derision at me.”No Lycan spawn, you w

NOLA BAYESIt had been months since my bonded died, but for the first time since that sordid night, I was feeling confident, happy even.The mountain city troops had grown to staggering numbers in the past months, so I had dispensed a good number of guards to survey the old wolf village.My new city. The King and I hadn't decided on a name yet, but I knew it was going to be soon.We had freed the wolf village captives the next day, after the gruesome war. Alpha Theo’s rescue had been one I handled myself, with admittedly way too much joy than I could think to hide.“R-Reynolds? I-is that you dear girl?” He had rasped, the curved nails of his claws coming through the wrought-iron bars to lace over my hand before I snatched it away, incensed.“That’s Queen of the Highlands to you Alpha Theo, a shame to see you like this I must say, especially with the way you threw us maidens out on our behinds with nothing to our names.” I spouted, watching with a measure of satisfaction when he bent

HECTOR BAYESI didn't want to let her go, Nola, but I knew in my heart that I had to.And she did run, jerking away from my arms, to throw open the underground chamber grates with a strength I hadn't imagined her capable of.I followed on her heels as we ran down the stone slab of stairs at breakneck speed, into the crematorium where Kalden was lying, still as a statue, encased in the frosty insides of a glass coffin.I felt my breath catch in my throat and I paused at the doorway, my eyes widening when I saw the wreath of white and blood-red hydrangea flower bushes decked in small steps around the dias.“Kalden? Kalden, say something!” Nola gasped, slapping open the casing as a whoosh of frigid air swept up from the body, hitting me right in the nostrils.“Hector, you can't do this, I won't let you!” She screamed, turning to grip the lapel of my shirt with tears glistening on her cheeks.I nodded to the mourners huddled off to the side, darting tear-filled looks at us, and they bowed
Bride of the Beast Chapter One Hundred and Eleven
HECTOR BAYESThe feeling of the dead man’s body as I writhed on top of him had not left my chest as we rode on horseback, into the gates of the mountain city.“Are you alright?” The green-eyed woman who had been watching me since we passed through the gates whispered, clumps of mud and twigs sticking out of her hair from where she’d brushed her face against mine.The porcelain of her high cheekbones was ashen with dust and grime, and the sight of the salt streak of tears dried and flaky sent a pang through my frame.I allowed myself a shallow breath, We had come a long way, the imp and me, and I was almost certain I couldn't have won the war if it weren't for her quick thinking with the sword.God-freaking dammit, Was I alright? I couldn't tell.The singed fur of my son’s corpse weighed heavy on my heart. Or It might have been the hole of my soul sword that refused to heal.I hadn't wanted to kill the boy, the monster, far from it. Saints! Lord knew Japhtar deserved worse for coming
Bride of the Beast Chapter One Hundred and Ten
NOLA REYNOLDSThe sound of a woman screaming reached my ears, distorted in the quake that seemed to shake the earth all around us before I realized I was the one who had been screaming.The Lycan’s sword shook in my hands, the weight of the huge beast pressed against it towered over me, the sprain in my wrist threatening to explode through the net work of veins.“Oh, Dear God!” I screamed again, darting away and watching the impaled beast fall heavily to the dust with a rumbling groan, the Lycan following as I clapped cold hands to my mouth to stifle another scream.“What's happening?” They whispered,“By Joves!”“...Do you reckon he's dead?” The hushed voices of the werewolves gathered rose, seeming to come to a standstill with the skewered monsters as they huddled around the intertwined mass of the Lycan and his son, with the silver tip of his sword- MY sword, shooting up from the soaked due of his back.“Hector!” I shrieked, falling to my knees beside him as I watched the Lycan fal

HECTOR BAYESI am halfway across the field when I realize something is wrong.The man on the other end is grinning, the defined barrel of his chest rising and falling with excited breathing as I closed the distance between the two armies.“For the mountain city!” I bellowed, gripping the silver hilt of my sword as I sent the blade flying through the air in a neat arc, slashing the werewolves in my circle as the black goo of their blood sprayed into my eyes, stinging the liquid from them.Why the fuck did Japhtar keep smiling at me?I let my eyes roam over the lot, catching Nola’s tear-streaked face briefly, before the horde of werewolves fighting closed around her and I felt the rake of claws slice across my back.“Eyes in the heavens! Feast on their bones!” Japhtar’s deep voice boomed in the space as I felt the pound of my heart starting to hammer wildly in my ribcages.I snapped my head up to see that the same type of mist that hung over the city walls had climbed to cover the moon’

JAPHTAR“You’re sick Japhtar! That's what you are, a sick fucking bastard-” The maiden rasped hotly and I felt a bitter fork spike through me at her words, only seconds before I let the back of one giant hand rip across her cheek, sending her back into the hay with a loud thump.“Stupid, stupid girl,” I growled, stalking toward her and snatching the porcelain-faced dwarf by the lapel of her gown, raising her until she was suspended in the air, whimpering loudly.“Make no mistake wench,” I wheezed, shaking her roughly, as one would do to a dirty kitchen rag and watching the muscle in her tight little jaw tighten, no doubt holding back her pained screams.“I am not my father. I will not hesitate to snap your pert little neck, doesn't make a difference to me if you're alive or dead wench, pussy’s pussy.” I grinned, letting my eyes roam delightedly over the maiden’s body as I slammed my hairy paw into the crevice between her legs, her ear-splitting screams music to my ears.“And that's on

HECTOR BAYES“What did you just say?” I wheezed, my heart hammering wildly between the cages of my rib as heat rushed to my head and ears.“Y-your highness, I- they saw her, being carted away, over the north of the forest,” Gordon murmured in a mousey voice, and I felt my eyes grow until they were the size of fucking beach balls in my sockets.Japhtar had Nola? How did that happen? Saints! Why didn’t the imp ever listen to me? The irritation building inside me grew until it blotted out everything else as I clenched my fists until they shook lightly beside me.Taking my woman was the worst thing he could have done, and now, I was going to make him pay for it.“Assemble the royal troops, we're going to storm the outskirts.” I gritted, making a few of the werewolves present gasp as they cuddled around themselves before I strode out, Gordon running last me to assemble the troops before I got there and thoughts of the fair maiden swirling in my head.“Your highness?” Sarah whispered as I m

NOLA It was the whirl of the overhead ceiling fan I heard first as I came to, the ache in my temple searing through the balls of my eyes as I allowed my eyelids to flutter open, the memory of what had happened hit me like a freight train so that I let a loud gasp slip.What the fuck was that smell?I gagged, huffing frantically as I struggled against the wires that twisted into my skin painfully, the stench of male musk and excrement sticking to the hairs in my nose.“Oi! I reckon the princess’s awake, get a look at this eh?” A gravelly voice jeered as hushed whispers rose around me, the crooked claw of one werewolf poking the flesh of my hand hard enough thank screamed, tearing my eyes open to see the obelisk of their misshapen faces hovering over me.”Get the fuck away from me!” I screeched, aware that my chest was rising and falling frantically with suppressed pants as I watched the trio throw back their heads and laugh.Shit. How long had I been out? The man with pink eyes. I cou
Bride of the Beast Chapter One hundred and Five
HECTOR BAYESJaphtar Bayes was in the wild, He’d fled. The bastard.It was lucky that he had when he did, the moon goddess had hidden her silver bulb behind the iron-grey mist that kept as the fight died down around and wearied-looking soldiers from the royal army speared off the rogues that lingered.“After them!” I roared, struggling to my feet as the cobblestones of the ground rose to my vision again before I came down hard, my hand shooting out to strike the pavement, the tremors going through me.I’d been halfway up and on his heels, the ache from the gash in my midriff stinging enough that tears rose in the pools of my eyelids before I yelled for the soldiers to follow him, my heart sinking with each second that passed when I noticed he had run toward the castle.Nola! I couldn't let him make it to the gates even! Not when the stone city castle held the remainder of the survivors that had managed to escape the gruesome war.I straightened with a large inhale, feeling my muscles
