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

IMEELA “There are other vampires there, but you will be safe. Our coven consumes donated blood or those who are willing and free of coercion. We don’t tolerate abuse of any kind. We also have a few other humans who live there and a few other supernatural species,” I explained. Curiosity took the place of the wariness in her eyes. I looked around and saw that the others also seemed curious. The toddler slowly waddled her way over to me and lifted her arms up. Who was I to resist such a cutie? She settled on my hip and smiled at me. God, she was so adorable. Curly black hair, light blue eyes, and the prettiest ivory skin tone. She looked like a little angel. “We don’t know her name, but we’ve been calling her Joy,” one of the females said, smiling softly at her. “Joy is a beautiful name for a beautiful girl,” I said, kissing her forehead. Jackson did warn them that the two guards were apprehended outside and could not harm anyone. They were a little apprehensive but still followed

JACKSONWe had prepared everything as much as possible for our dignitary visits.Since they would be traveling, we had ensured that there would be rooms prepared for them. Thankfully, the rooms for them were in the visitor’s wing, which was away from our humans and Fae friends.Not everyone who would be coming held the same ideals as us. This caused a precarious balance that we needed to handle. It needed to be done firmly, however we would not know how to properly balance that situation until it occurred.There were bound to be people determined to challenge our positions for different reasons.The biggest one was that many did not want the Precoza reign to be reinstated because that put them on a leash. Those who broke any of the laws that would be outlined within these visits would end up being punished.Secondly, they would see me not being a vampire as a slap in the species’ face or some shit like that. Not only would it be the very first time that the Vampire King was not a vampi

JACKSON I could not agree more. Something that I had noticed from the moment that she decided to reclaim her birthright was that this right here, this precarious game of balancing politics, was her domain. She would be the ultimate winner. If I did not know any better, I would say that it was her gift. Perhaps it was. Imeela was most certainly a motherfucking Queen because she welcomed the challenge, thriving within it because she knew how to wield her words as weapons to disarm, to stun, or even to strike. Her response had him grinding his molars. However, it had the Duchess giving my girl a quick smile of approval. Perhaps she did not hold all of the same ideals as he did. Imeela would end up discerning that during their visit. He then turned his attention to me, thinking that I would be an easy target. Well, bring it on then. “What makes you believe that you can rule over a species that is not your own?” he asked me. This was a question that I had been prepared to answer, know

IMEELA (Ten Years Later) “Here you go, sweetheart,” I told my son, handing him the sippy cup, and situating him on my hip. Cyrus was just over a year old now. He was the spitting image of his father when it came to his brown hair, emerald eyes, and facial features. However, his skin tone took after me. He was already proving to be a sweetheart like his father though. He scrunched up his little nose as he flashed me one of those smiles that always made my heart swell with love. It was the smile that our other two children had perfected as well. “Sissy is with Daddy, so let’s go find your brother.” His little head bobbed as if in total agreement with the plan. It would be interesting to watch him grow up because he seemed to be following in his siblings’ footsteps. Both of them had developed beyond their ages. You would swear that they were older than they actually were. Vampire children often advanced quickly. It had always been believed to be that way as a survival instinct that
