Thank you, Venus! Imagine what might have happened had she not been there?
JACKSON The succubus and her companion were both taken away to the Trelinin estate and held in their cells to protect the coven but also my mate. The fucker that sent the succubus went by the name of Bane. He was a trained assassin, which had worried the shit out of my mate. It was not for the own sake of herself, of course, but she was worried about all of our people. Ziyah had come and set additional protections in place due to the threat of Bane that was looming over us. It was possible that he might end up showing his face at the coronation, but it would be the worst mistake of his life if he did because I would destroy him where he stood for every ounce of pain that he inflicted on my mate. Speaking of Ziyah, she contacted us about a group of people that had been rescued from a mission that she had gone on. They were the victims of exotic traders. Think supernatural sex slave trade that had the corner market on what was considered to be exotic, meaning that they were either gi
IMEELAThe day had finally come…It was our coronation day. This was such a monumental moment, not only in our coven but our world as well. Too much had been destroyed. Too many people had been harmed. I was not naïve enough to believe that everything would be rainbows and sunshine after tonight, but it would at least be a step in the right direction.“Your dress is so pretty,” Nellie said.Nellie was one of our newest coven members. She had been saved from exotic traders and was the absolute sweetest person I had ever met. Sadly, she had no family to go back to, but she did now. Jackson and I had both decided that she would be the perfect addition to our family. So, Nellie was now our sister. Both of us agreed that it felt right.“Thank you. Do you think Jackson will like it?” I asked her as I looked in the mirror.The dress that had been designed for me was positively gorgeous, and I definitely felt like royalty in it.The ballgown had sequin lace motifs over sparkled tulle. The base
JACKSON Theo rushed back inside the room and dramatically slammed the door behind him before opening it right back up. “What the fuck crawled up your ass?” I asked him. “Not sure what you do with your mate, but nothing goes up mine,” he shot back at me. His eyebrow raised up, as if to inquire whether or not I allowed anything up mine. My eyebrow matched his because he would not be getting that answer. “Fucking hell. No wonder she’s mated to you. You’re just as equally frustrating. Can you believe that she banned me from getting my girls simply because I made her aware that she wouldn’t be getting you right now?” My eyes flashed with amusement at that tidbit of knowledge, a proud grin stretched across my lips. I nodded because I could definitely believe that. That right there was my feisty girl. Theo obviously disliked my reaction and punched me in my shoulder. I feigned injury just to help placate him for the moment. It definitely worked. I knew that this night was hard for him
IMEELA A life of luxury… Where in the hell did anyone get that impression? Sure, I had lived the equivalent of it since meeting Jackson than I had in the decade beforehand. “What is your name?” I asked as calmly as possible. I held my hand up to stop Santiago who was beginning to move closer just in case anything was to happen. It was in the Mayloni’s DNA to protect whomever they pledged themselves to. There was no telling if this man was a threat or not, so it was second nature for them to be on the defensive. “Lord Coriolanus Pavlo,” he said, standing up, and taking a proud stance. He was much older than I was, but I would not back down or show weakness to anyone. I had dealt with far bigger threats than this man. He looked somewhat familiar, but I could not put my finger on why. Had he come to see my parents when I was a child? I would figure it out later because I had bigger concerns. “Lord Pavlo, I am not certain where you got your information from, but I can assure you th
JACKSONZeus and I wanted nothing more than to slowly torture both Bane and the fucker who decided it was a brilliant idea to shoot our mate. I would not allow either of them to get away easy after all of the pain that they had inflicted on her.Hecate kissed Imeela’s forehead before kissing mine too. Immeasurable warmth filled my entire being, and I felt a burst of strength.‘I have blessed both you and your wolf with additional strength so that you can continue protecting those who need it just like you protected my warrior time and again.’She stepped backwards and surveyed the crowd one last time before she flashed away.Xylern took both of the fuckers and popped away to put them in the cells. I pushed them out of my mind because tonight was about more important things.“Are there any further objections or are we free to actually begin the coronation?” she asked, adding just a hint of amusement to relax everyone.That was precisely what was needed as most chuckled in response. My e
IMEELA Everyone definitely outdid themselves with all of the amazing decorations for tonight. A DJ, dance floor, a delicious buffet, and plenty of seating. The area was set up with a variety of Fae light orbs to give it plenty of lighting while also being very appealing to the eyes. Jackson and I were taking advantage of the dance floor. We were not the only ones either. I loved how great it felt to be held in his arms like this. I looked to the side and saw Dante and Ziyah dancing as well. I bit my lip as I tried to envision what they would say to our proposal of a certain idea. ‘Do you think they’ll accept?’ I asked my mate. He used his thumb to smooth out the wrinkle on my forehead. The sweetest smile graced his face. His eyes dipped down to my lips before he reluctantly pulled his attention back up to my eyes. We would have plenty of time together later when it was just the two of us. I definitely wanted to treat him like the King that he was. That King was mine after all. A
JACKSON What a crazy fucking night… At least it was a story that we could tell our pups one day. Oh well. The craziness was over with, and now I had my delicious mate in my grasp. I had to share her all fucking night, but the only one that I would share her with right now was Zeus, which he agreed with. We had been putting our own personal touch on this magnificent suite. It had brought my girl so much happiness when Cali showed us the things that people had been able to secure from her family. She did not know yet, but Ziyah would be creating pictures from her memories. It was just like what she had done with the memory cube. Vampire hearing was far more sensitive than our hearing, therefore their soundproofing was of the highest quality. That helped since Nellie had moved into her own room in the suite. There was no way that my little mate would ever be able to keep her voice down when she was drowning in her own ecstasy. I loved how vocal she was about her pleasure both verball
IMEELA My mates did not disappoint me at all with their thorough worshipping. If I did not know that I had been the only person that Jackson had been with then I never would have guessed it. There was an art to his seduction and the way that he could command my body, making it sing to the tune that he desired. Jackson was always so calm, cool, and collected. However, it was such a magnificent sight when he let loose and lost that control in the bedroom. It was like his passion for me was all-consuming. That was an amazing thing to know. I was not someone with an ego, not generally, but I did feel smug about that. The first thing that we did when we pulled ourselves out of bed was to go for a run. Zeus was even faster now and kept up with my top speed. It made sense though because just like my mother had gained the same speed as a Precoza after coronation, so did they. I would venture a guess that Jackson’s fighting speed would be similar too, but I was not entirely certain since h
