JACKSONZeus and I were two lucky fucking bastards to have an amazing mate like Imeela. Amazing was not even a sufficient word right now, but I did not have an alternative at the moment. She was the sexiest female either of us had ever laid our eyes on.Beyond her physical beauty was her inner beauty. That was even sexier to us than her looks because it was her heart and soul that meant the most to us. Both of them were pure.I was grateful that I had stuck to my guns and refused to give myself to anyone that was not my mate. Imeela was the only person that I had ever been with and the only one that I would ever be with. I had heard my fair share of people bragging about how great their sexual encounters were, but none of that compared to what I had with my mate.I loved the fact that we were figuring out together what we liked and also what we did not like. She was extremely adventurous, and that was fucking marvelous. It was fun to always find new ideas to torture her with. She was b

JACKSON We had worked our asses off to prepare for today because it would change everything. There was no fucking doubt about that. Yesterday, we had a mandatory pack meeting. They knew that there was another battle that we had been preparing for, but they did not know the details surrounding it. We had to safeguard those details until Andrei and Loki were dealt with. However, the meeting was about me officially renouncing my title as Beta. It was so fucking surreal because my entire being had focused on doing right by that title and my pack since the day that Theo had chosen me to be his right-hand. However, I knew for a fact that Sebastian was exactly who this pack needed. He and Lucinda will be a powerful Beta couple. The pack was confused about why I would do it but accepted my choice and pledged their loyalty to Sebastian as Beta, just like they had pledged their loyalty to me when I had taken my oath. Sebastian was a quick study and was not afraid to ask questions if he need

IMEELA When I heard that the bastard was using Desiderium, I knew immediately what he had done to our people. They were my people, Jackson’s people, and our new coven’s people. Their suffering would not go unpunished. I really wished that I could take my sweet time and torture him for a century or two, but that was not in the cards of his particular fate. However, I would take immense pleasure in ripping the life from the man who took my family and coven’s lives. That might make me a horrible bitch, but I did not care one fucking bit. He deserved everything that he would be getting. Breathe in, breathe out, focus. Ha. If only it was that easy. ‘Focus on me then, beautiful.’ Zeus growled softly through the open link that the three of us agreed on. We needed constant communication so that our thoughts would flow from one mind to the other. That way we were on the same page. ‘Yes, my King,’ I purred to him. My three words caused him to growl again, but this time it was one of pleas

BRYNN ‘We are Vessels. Hear us roar!’ Moira chanted with a roar at the end. ‘That’s right, Little Wolf! Roar it out. Loki doesn’t know what awaits him.’ Zen growled lowly through our open link. ‘Let me incentivize you. Make this a fight to remember and you’ll get anything your heart desires.’ Those were the magic words. She was prancing around in my head, trying to figure out what she was going to choose. I felt her mischievousness and knew that she figured out what it was and was going to enjoy this. ‘Alright then.’ She smirked, laying herself out like royalty. ‘I want to be your Alpha for an entire week.’ That was an interesting desire. It was different for her to be Alpha than for me to be since it was the wolf side that our hierarchy came from. The Alphas were at the very top of the totem pole, the absolute epitome of power. An Alpha bowed to only one. Zen growled again, but it was one of desire now. That request had him feeling inquisitive and a bit turned on. ‘Hold up your

THEO I stood in the doorway, knowing that my mate had to be the one to fight him, and I would be nothing but a liability in there that could get her killed. However, I could not just let her face him without being able to keep my eyes on her. I agreed with Zen that they were definitely earning being called Alpha with the trash talk alone. If Brynn thought that she would not be getting a week of having the title of Alpha after this like Moira would then she was sadly mistaken. I was not certain what had happened when Hecate had touched her hand, but I had felt my mate’s power increase. That was even more apparent when she let out her Vessel aura. It had always been powerful, but it was even more powerful. It definitely added to her sexiness, but I kept my emotions in check because I did not want her to get aroused while fighting him because he would probably think that he had been the cause of it. Yeah, right. Bright white light exploded from her hand, momentarily blinding him. That

JACKSON ‘Coming to you, Jacksy. Ding dong the God is dead,’ Brynn chirped in my mind. I had absolutely no doubt that she would come out the victor, but I was still worried for her. I would have been a shit friend and brother had I not been worried at all. Thankfully, Theo and Brynn were wearing recording devices just like my mate and I were because I could not wait to watch that fight. Knowing Ms. Dorky, it would have been fairly fucking epic. Theo, Brynn, Pylorna, and two new vampires popped in. They were the ones that we had seen through the security camera in the forest discussing his sister being force-marked by Dickless Dexy. “We pledge ourselves to fight for our rightful Queen,” the brother said, and the other one mirrored his sentiment when they saw me staring at them. “Perhaps you can be of greater assistance than fighting. Hold on,” I said, casting behind them to decapitate one that was sneaking up to attack them. Then I dropped the cloak. “As I was saying, perhaps you ca

JACKSON I had not expected Hecate to bless me like that, but I truly and sincerely appreciated it. Also, knowing that the blessing would help identify threats meant everything because our lives, from this moment on, would be filled with danger. We were not just going to be leading this coven. Nope. We would be responsible for the entirety of the vampire species. It would be up to us to ensure that our people were held accountable for their actions and punish those who were at fault for whatever crimes they committed. Hecate hugged Imeela and thanked her once again for freeing her from the prison that she had been held in for all these years before she left. Recognition, shock, and horror flooded the bond. Imeela broke away from the group that we in the process of talking to and rushed off to a woman in the corner. I followed her because I had no idea what elicited those strong emotions. Imeela knelt down in front of a woman who looked to be my mother’s age. There were signs of se

IMEELA We got maybe two hours of sleep before Roman and Venus woke us up, telepathically relaying a situation that that we needed to deal with. Thankfully, they did just as we had asked them to and were keeping an eye on those who might need protection. Jackson and I took off in a sprint, following our Hellhounds. People were eying us, but we paid them no mind. My fury skyrocketed when I saw that a man had ripped a woman’s clothes right down the middle. Her eyes looked dead as if she had lost all hope and did not have it in her to keep fighting. Fuck that. I would fight for her until she could do it on her own, and then I would stand beside her and keep fighting. My aura wrapped around him and threw him against the wall. There was anger in his eyes as he tried to fight against my aura, but I did not even feel his resistance. “You have one chance to explain what’s going on here,” I stated as calmly as possible. My mates were just as furious and disgusted as I was right now. This

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
