Astral tango up next.
KALEN “Thanks for doing this,” I told Aunt Lucinda as she led us to the study. “No thanks necessary, libélula. That’s what family is for. I’m thankful whenever my gift comes in handy.” Libélula was her nickname for me ever since I was born. According to my parents, it was the first word that she spoke to me when she held me in her arms. Libélula was Spanish for dragonfly. There was a comfortable pallet done up on the floor once we got there with comfortable pillows and all. She had us get comfortable with me in between the guys. Uncle Sebastian and Matteo were also going to be in the room while we did our astral tango. The three of them would be monitoring everything. Worst case scenario, they could essentially eject us, bringing us back to our bodies. That would be only if something very serious happened because it had its own set of potentially dangerous consequences, which included being trapped in the astral plane. Then she explained how astral projection worked. She went thr
MADDOX I adjusted my collar for the twelfth time since I put this uniform on. Beauty seemed to appreciate what it looked like on me. It was specialized slacks and button-down. It was made to repel magic, which was really fucking cool. Never realized that I could have professional clothes that were also essentially a bulletproof outfit. Those would have come in handy in the past. She had licked her lips when her eyes trailed over the way that it contoured to my body. I was informed that I was required to keep this in our closet, to be taken out at any time that she deemed it necessary. The hunger that had been in her eyes made it easy to agree. I fucking loved her insatiable appetite. Never once had I found someone who could truly keep up with me, but it was because none of them were her. She was literally made for me after all. We were becoming adept at sneaking away whenever the opportunity presented itself. Could you blame us though? “How are you feeling about this, Madd?” Beau
MADDOX One moment we slung the fuckheads over our shoulders, and then we appeared inside of a large area that had a large U-shaped desk. There were two men that I assumed to be guards who stood up the moment they registered that they were not alone. “Your Highness,” they both said, respectfully bowing their heads. “Gerard and Daniel, it’s great to see you. I thought that you had today off because of your daughter’s birthday,” Zion said. It was odd to think that he was a Prince because he was so fucking down-to-earth and humble about everything. I supposed that showed his character because a title was more than just a title. It was a responsibility to protect and lead those under your charge. There was a multitude of perfect examples when it came to leaders allowing their position to go to their heads. One thing that I love about my mate was that she understood the amazing blessing and responsibility that came along with her being Alpha one day. A great example was when she told a
KALENI could not wait to see these two bastards get what they deserved.My entire being wanted Dozer’s blood after hearing what this sick fuck did to those he killed. Not only was he killing someone, but he was defiling them both before and after. How could someone be that sick? No wonder he worked for Calvin because Calvin was a sick and sadistic bastard as well.Maddox had done things for his father while underneath this thumb, but I knew that he regretted it deeply. He was not absolved of the things he had done, but nobody could hurt him worse than he hurt himself over it. He has had to live with that guilt every day of his life. I truly believed in redemption. If anyone was allowed to fight for that redemption then it was him.‘Remind me not to get on your mate’s bad side,’ Zion teased as he took Maddox a syringe and bottle of liquid silver. ‘Neo asked Koa for it.’I was wondering what in the world he was planning on doing with that because there was only so much that would not ki
KALEN Goosebumps immediately littered my skin upon hearing his command. I might be an Alpha, but Maddox was my Alpha in the bedroom. I had always hated giving up control. It went against my entire nature. However, there was something beautiful in handing my control over to my mate because I knew that he would take care of me. Maddox held me with such care that I had no problem submitting to him. I would never submit to someone unless they earned it. My mate proved himself to me – proved that he would take care of me and fight for me. I slowly stripped for him, letting his anticipation build with each new inch of skin revealed. His eyes were burning into me, scorching me without a single touch. Then I stood bare before him. His eyes were darkened with lust, and awe filled the bond. I had never been confident in my looks. But then he looked at me as if I was the most desirable thing he had ever seen before. That made me more confident. I spread my legs a little further apart so that
MADDOX My first real introduction to vampires was really fucking cool. I have heard horror stories about some of the shit that many vampires did. It was shit that would have made Calvin giddy. Fucked up individuals called to fucked up individuals and whatnot. The history behind the Precoza coven was intriguing. It had to have been hell trying to get the vampire species back under control. People with power fell within two categories – they either used it to empower themselves or to empower others. Zion’s parents had to go up against fuckers who fell within the latter category. Not to mention that Jackson had to do it as a shifter. King of the Vampires was a wolf like us. Pretty fucking cool if I did say so myself. Everyone was so genuine and welcoming, just like the rest of Beauty’s people had been. Imeela made me feel like one of the family. That was unexpected but welcome. Zion and Jackson were both interested in getting some tattoos done by me. Beauty went ahead and bragged abou
MADDOX I closed my eyes again and focused on my desire to find my abilities. It took a couple of minutes of focus before anything happened. This time, there was a yellow blip. It did not seem to be connected to anything in particular. There was only one way to figure out what this did. I imagined pulling the yellow blip to me. My eyes opened just in time to see a yellow bolt shoot from the ceiling to the floor in front of me. It startled me, making my body jump backwards. Holy fucking hell. That was a lightning bolt. I turned around and met their shocked gazes. Beauty’s shocked look lasted less than a minute before mischievousness took its place. I was certain that she and Nika were already tossing around some great ideas when it came to interrogation techniques. I would have to say that there was plenty of potential there. “That’s fascinating. The lightning materialized instead of being pulled down from the sky like elementals would have to do. See if you can pushed it out to the
KALEN ‘Why don’t you and your mate come to my office?’ Mom linked me, sounding worried. I looked at the clock and realized that we still had some time before Maddox’s trial run at Inkfinity to see if he had what it took to design there. He was really nervous because he had never put his work out there like this before. His designs had always been private or created for some people that he tattooed. Not only would I get my man’s artwork tattooed onto me, but it was also being used as his trial run. It was his abstract phoenix design that would end up going along my side. Orange, red, black, blue, and silver were the colors that he chose to utilize. I was so damn ecstatic. ‘Coming,’ I told her. “Mom wants us to head over to her office. I’m not entirely certain why, but she sounded worried,” I explained to my mate. Maddox wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled my neck. He placed a loving kiss over his mark. It was something he did every time he had me in his arms. It was his p
