How many people are bound and determined to ruin their special night? Kade already caught one assassination plan.
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
JACKSON The uptake in his heartbeat gave him away. I had seen the almost familiarity when Bane stepped up beside him, but I did not think much of it at the time. Was she recognizing him from those three weeks in Bane’s torture camp? He better pray that it was not or else he would learn the true meaning of torture. “I’ll give you one chance to spare some of the pain you’ll receive. What’s your real name, and what coven are you from?” she asked him in that same calm voice. That voice might make these idiots believe that they were not in danger, but it was actually quite the opposite. It was when she had that specific calmness that she was coiled tight, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. He was obviously a complete idiot because he just looked defiantly at her. Either he did not believe she would do anything or refused to give her the upper hand. Well, she did have the upper hand, so he would not be able to give it. She picked up a dagger and slowly walked around the table u
IMEELAIt was amazing that he had been able to pick up the mental links between Bane and the others. I had never heard of anyone being able to do that before. The most likely cause was due to Hecate’s blessing of identifying threats.He threw the daggers with such precision that his increased strength did some serious damage.The curved dagger glinted in the light, making the nameless asshole pale completely.I was glad that he caught the lie because I did not know about the Pramble coven. Zeus told me that it had been Kade who destroyed him with the use of his handy shadows during their first feeding room infiltration.Why was he hiding his identity so much? Was it because he was a corrupt piece of shit? Perhaps his coven leaders were the same way as well. There was no telling.The blade only had to make one slice before he caved.“Sylvester Claymore of the Crimson Moon coven,” he said through gritted teeth.My eyes narrowed, hearing the coven’s name. I had come across this coven’s sc
IMEELA I prayed that we got there in time before anything happened to them, and I prayed that they were still at the cave. There was no telling what all Bane or his lackeys had put them through. He was a sadistic sonofabitch after all. Venus and Roman accompanied Raul, Jackson, me, Santiago, Valeria, and Carmen to the cave. Thankfully, Raul knew where to go. I knew the grounds of our Palace and estate, but I did not venture out beyond that when I was a child. Jackson threw his cloak around us when we were about a mile out. It would keep us hidden, but we still needed to tread carefully because it did not hide the sounds of our presences. Off topic, this area was gorgeous. Thick woods surrounded us with a collection of beautiful trees. Their leaves were a variety of colors, adorning both the trees as well as the ground. Birds chirped high up in the trees while the sun streamed through the treetops. Chatter from up ahead caught our attention. Our steps slowed so that we could creep
