Design of Fate Chapter 17
IMEELA I was trying my best to rein in my emotions right now so that I could keep Jackson calm. He would have destroyed her where she sat because of what she had done. Not only did she try to kill me, but she had also fucking told the bastard what I looked like. I had no idea if she had a picture of me or not, but he very well might have picked up my trail and all because of her. There was only one option in dealing with the threat that he was. He needed to be eliminated. I was not a cold-blooded killer. I had only killed those who forced my hand. Would it be wrong of me to take his life? I had realized that I zoned out of what was being said, so I refocused on Theo and Brynn. “…we collected ten media files that contained videos of Beta Jackson, 116 photos, and ten years’ worth of journal entries that outlined invasion of privacy, including breaking into his residence, and removing clothes that had his scent on it. You have heard the facts pertaining to the crimes against Beta fema

JACKSON I knew that she was nervous, but so was I. There was no frame of reference for how today would go, but I wanted to make sure that she enjoyed every moment of it. There had been many daydreams and fantasies about taking her, so I had plenty of imagination to go from. Her eyes drank in every inch of my body. She even licked her lips when she eyed my cock. Awe and lust pushed out from her, which made me really fucking smug. I slowly crawled back onto the bed, heightening her delicious anticipation. “I want to play with you first, love. Will you let me?” She swallowed hard and nodded her head. Her arousal thickened, showing me exactly what she thought of that idea. Not a single word needed to be uttered from that precious mouth of hers. First, I started out with a sizzling kiss. Her fingers threaded through my hair, tugging, and it felt fucking amazing. Then I trailed kisses down her neck until I got to the spot that would forever hold my mark from this day forward. I sucked

JACKSONImeela’s head was laying on my chest as my fingers skimmed her spine. I had never felt as complete in my life as I did with our bond being whole.Even Zeus was completely at ease. He had been more than thrilled that she wanted him too, and he was able to experience being with his mate even if it was in my body. It was how things worked with human mates. Imeela could not give Zeus a wolf mate like Ziyah could for Byron, but he understood that and did not care one bit.However, she had proposed an idea to him. She could bite his marking spot while he was in wolf form, and he could also mark her. That way the bond between them could solidify as well. He had been hesitant to do that because he was afraid to harm her. She had told him to trust her and trust himself. Guess what? It worked.“As much as I don’t want to leave this bed, we are being summoned by Brynn. She said it’s important,” I murmured, kissing the top of her head.Her bottom lip jutted out in an adorable pout.

IMEELA Surprisingly, the pack meeting had gone over very well. Many people approached me afterwards and apologized for ever believing the rumors. I could tell that they felt guilty for judging me based on my species, especially without giving me a chance to prove myself. I did not want or need their guilt, but it did help me feel like perhaps we could make it past all of this bullshit. Hearing about those rumors brought all of my fears to the forefront about not being accepted in this pack and especially as his mate. Jackson and I cooked up a plan on how to get Douchey Dexter taken care of. So, I had reached out to Ziyah to see if she would be willing to help me get my hands on some things, but she had already been ahead of me after seeing a vision and figuring out what all I would need. She was unable to bring them to me personally, but she said to expect my uncle to bring them over. “Come on in,” Jackson said once he answered the door. “Thank you. I come bearing some special gif

IMEELAMy body shivered in anticipation when Jackson slipped my panties off, leaving me completely naked. He sat back on his heels and looked over every inch of me as he was savoring each one. He always made me feel desirable when he looked like he wanted to devour me.Jackson’s hands my sides, leaving goosebumps in their wake. Need flooded through me, and I felt like I would burst into flames at any moment. He leaned down and brushed his lips over mine in a featherlight kiss. Such a tease! Then he got up to rip his shirt over his head and undid his jeans, slowly pushing them and his boxers down.My mate stood before me in all of his glory, and what glory it was indeed. His body was perfect. I could not choose which was my favorite feature between the piercing emerald eyes, his mouth that could show me both love and ecstasy, the body that looked like it was chiseled from stone, or his rock-hard cock that was standing at full attention and already had some pre-cum.I crooked my finger a

IMEELAThe city was only about an hour away from the pack. I hated the idea of going to the city, but I had no choice because of a crazy bitch. All I could hope for was that tonight would work in our favor.“You ready for this, love?” he asked me as he pulled into the parking lot. “Not really, but it’s necessary. I’m not as weak as I was when I was running for my life. Plus, I have you with me. You and Zeus are all that I need.”He turned the car off and faced me, hands cupping my cheeks. I sighed at the sparks that reminded me of the bond between us. When I was very young, I used to imagine finding a beloved and what my life would be like with them. Nothing compared to what I had with my mates.“You weren’t weak at all. You were so fucking strong to have survived what you did. Now, you get to make him your bitch,” Jackson said, waggling his eyebrows.I had not thought about it like that. I was finally the hunter, and I would catch him.A chuckle broke free, and I grinned at him. This

JACKSON We had to stop outside of the border to add his blood. I had to admit that Ziyah’s borders were fucking phenomenal. Brynn was waiting for us when we got back to the cells. She led us to a cell that she had retrofitted to ‘secure a whiny bitch’ as she lovingly put it. Imeela restrained him with her aura again so that I could get him secured. Brynn said that the chains were reinforced against vamp strength and had runes etched into them, making it impossible for him to move unless given permission by Imeela. The fucker paled when he heard that part. His predicament of being absolutely fucked was the only thing that was holding me back from destroying him for what he had done to my girl and what he had said in that alleyway. He would pay in time for each sin against her. For every dirty thought and every foul word. “We’ll be right back,” I told Brynn. Dustin was here as well, so I did not feel bad about leaving Brynn. Plus, she would have been completely capable of destroyin

JACKSON “Let me tell you something. A powerful Fae made the serum we gave you as well as the cuffs that are on you. You’re entirely cloaked. Nobody will ever find you here, and no vampire can enter that has not been given express permission. You’re at our mercy. I’ll gladly draw nearly every drop of blood from you before letting you heal. Then I’ll do it all over again. Where is home, and who promised me to you?” His eyes looked around at us all, trying to gauge if she was being serious. The blank stares refused to give him an answer one way or another. Let him keep guessing for the entire time that we had him here. Imeela had learned to survive on barely any blood or food. Her body became accustomed to that. We would be starving him while he was in our custody. Imeela had told me that starvation was excruciating for a vampire, so it sounded like a good punishment for all of the fuckery that he had put her through. “Have you already forgotten where you come from? That’s a pity. Alt

Design of Fate Author's Note
To all of my amazing readers, I am happy to tell you that “Destined Alpha of Change” is now officially up on the app and ready to begin being read. Now, onto other important matters. First and foremost, I would like to thank you for how much support you have given me throughout these books. I love reading all of your comments, whether they were negative or positive, and use them to help shape the story as it evolves. Jackson and Imeela’s story was one story that I could not begin to write. I know that not everyone was thrilled during Theo’s story when Jackson took Brynn’s side after the rejection. However, it just showed the type of man that he was. The one who would help protect those who needed it, just like he did with Brynn. One thing that many of you had mentioned was that you enjoyed the species integration seen throughout this book and the Fated series. We will see the byproduct of that during the Legacies of Destiny series. Kalen’s story will be the first one, followed by

SNEAK PEEK – “DESTINED ALPHA OF CHANGE”– KALENLater on in life, I would look back and wonder how I survived what I willingly threw myself into.Visions led me down this path. They were warnings of what was to come. A single person was going to be the spark that ignited the fire that would destroy everything that I held dear. It would lead to countless graves. The peace that our world experienced would be wiped away, leaving nothing but pain and chaos in its wake.The only way to prevent this was for me to identify the supernatural that was aiding him. My visions only showed me this one path to potential success. Yes, I said potential. If I succeeded, then it would save everyone and everything. However, it could very well be my demise.The plan unfolded where I would create my own trap to catch his attention. It worked like a charm, and that was how I ended up in this make-shift dungeon cell. He really spent too much time watching B-rated horror films.I lost track of how long I had

EMILIOMy mind was a complete mess right now. I had a sleeping Princess cradled in my arms as I ran, searching for somewhere that was safe enough to rest.‘It is your duty to keep her safe. Run and do not look back. There will come a day when she returns here to avenge us, but it will be when she is older. We have every faith in you when it comes to protecting one of the most important gifts that we have ever been given and will never be able to express just how much we appreciate it. We have always loved you like a son, so let me give you one last piece of advice. Do not harbor guilt for leaving instead of fighting alongside the coven because you are protecting the future of our kind. That is the most important mission that has ever existed.’Those were his parting words. As much as he said not to harbor guilt… it was easier said than done. Instead of focusing on that, I focused on the fact that it was my duty as her personal bodyguard to always do what was necessary to protect her.J
Design of Fate Bonus Chapter - Enter Lola
LOLAI had been different my entire life. Not being able to hear anything made life hard. That was why Mom taught me ASL and how to read lips. It did not always help, but it did help sometimes. Mom and Dad were my only sources of consistency, but even that did not last.We were always moving around. They never told me why, but I had the feeling that it was because of me. Dad was a special kind of vampire, and Mom was an Elemental dragon. I might be young, but I understood what that meant for me.Sadly, we could not outrun every danger. Vampires caught up with us. Mom and Dad fought them off with everything they had. They took down many of the vampires. Then something hit my head, and I blacked out. I came to and saw my parent’s dead bodies next to me.My heart broke because I was all alone now. They would never be able to tell me another bedtime story. I would never ride on Mom’s dragon form again. There would never be another opportunity to tell them that I loved them.Lost in my sadn

JACKSON At the same conference as Epilogue 1 – I could not be any prouder of Lola as I watched her get everything prepared for her presentation. She worked her ass off to get to where she was at right now in life. Nothing held her back, and nothing slowed her down. It had been hard for her at first because she desired to be independent, but not everyone could communicate with her and vice versa. My amazing mate was the one who could break through her barriers and encourage her to get right back up. I had never seen Lola happier than when Ziyah had given her the hearing aids that she created for her years back. Lola was born deaf, so she never had the opportunity to hear people speak to her or around her. She never had the ability to listen to the sounds of nature. While she could not do anything for the second part, Ziyah had been able to fix it to where the words were picked up by the devices and then sent as a mindlink. A lot of attention to detail was found in how they worked.

IMEELASix years later –I checked my appearance one last time just to make certain that I looked presentable for the supernatural conference that we were attending.The pencil dress came to my knees. The top was white with a notched neck and three-quarters sleeves. The bottom was black with strips of black and white crisscrossing the waist. My hair was pulled into a low side bun with my newly designed diadem.Honestly, I hated wearing the crown in public, which this conference was, but our normal diadems were not official enough, according to our Cabinet, so we designed new ones that were more official looking. They were more pronounced with the Precoza crest designed within it.I opted for a natural look with my makeup, so it just highlighted my features. Luckily, my mates did not care if I wore makeup or not because it was not something that I cared about either.“You look beautiful, Mom,” Zion said from behind me.I turned around and smiled at my handsome son. He was as tall and bu

IMEELAZiyah had called me earlier and said that she had something special for Lola that should help the most with her deafness.Lola was a blessing in disguise when we first met her. She had been through so much in her short life, but it proved that she was strong and resilient enough to soldier on and keep going. Her biggest hurdle in life was learning to navigate being deaf in a supernatural world.There were many shows and movies out there that show how easy it was to overcome that hurdle and still live a completely normal life. That might be how it worked for humans, but it was extremely dangerous for supernaturals. Our world was a chaotic one where we always had to look out for the dangers hiding in the shadows, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.Lola was so fucking strong that it made us incredibly proud of her. She had learned how to read lips with damn near perfect accuracy. She was also learning how to defend herself against any attack. Zion took it upon himself t

JACKSONThree years later –I chuckled as I watched Amira and Cyrus playing tag with Zion outside.Imeela rested her back against my chest. It was a very comfortable Spring with the sun shining down on us.Amira was a pro at this game already because of her gift. She could use her shield to essentially cloak her just like I could via casting. This, however, also hid her scent, breathing, and heartbeat. Thankfully, Ziyah was able to put a block on it so that we would always be able to find her even if she was cloaked.Emery was practicing her dance routine off to the side where she would not be in the way. The girl was really fucking talented. I had never liked ballet before, but I watched every routine she had and got swept away in the emotions that it evoked each and every time.Zion fell to his knees and gripped his head, crying out.We were next to him in an instant. Zion had a high pain tolerance. He broke his arm last year and did not scream or anything. He whimpered, but that was

JACKSONI was currently sparring with Santiago. He was a great opponent because his training and heritage really made him really fucking lethal when he wanted to be. Thankfully, he liked me enough to allow my continued breathing.It only took training with vampires for about four months before I could keep up with them entirely speed wise. Strength was a different matter because there was a biological difference between our species. However, sealing the bond with my girl gave me additional strength. I might not have been able to deck a vampire quite as hard as another one could, but it did not matter. I just had to be more strategic on when and where to hit. However, the blessing of strength that Hecate had given to me at the coronation and also the boost from being crowned King put me as close as possible to being at the level of vampires.My fist connected in an uppercut, causing Santiago to fly up and backwards with his ass landing on the ground.He just laid there, panting heavily.
