Kalen's POV next as she watches Maddox taking charge of the interrogation.
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
MADDOXI had been over the fucking moon when it came to being offered a slot at Inkfinity.Having a future and a dream was never something that I could allow myself to hope for as I got older. I had convinced myself that nothing good would ever happen to me. It was one reason why I sought instant gratification in all things.Everything changed when my path crossed with a certain green-eyed beauty. She came into my life like a cyclone, twisting, and turning it all upside down. It felt like I had always seen my life through frosted glass, but she buffered it so that I could see clearly.I remembered a quote from John Joseph Powell that really fit the shift in my life.‘It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being.’Looking down at this amazing woman that I was lucky enough to be fated to, I would never be able to thank the Goddess enoug
MADDOX “Like you would ever let me forget about you,” she deadpanned. “I’m in need of some information that apparently only you would have. What do you say from leader to leader? Would you be willing to help out?” she asked hopefully. He hummed in thought and let out a soft chuckle after a moment. That made her pinch the bridge of her nose. I grabbed her hand and placed a kiss onto the back of it. That caused her to flash me a sexy smile. “I know what answers you need. I’ll come and give them to you, but I need you to do something for me. Keep your mate from destroying my handsome face. I’m still searching for my mates, and I don’t want the goods damaged. You never know when they will turn up. See you in a few.” She stared at the phone curiously once the call disconnected, clearly confused about his request. How did he know that she had met her mate, and why the fuck would he be worried about me attacking him? I was hotheaded at times but never attacked unless there was a good fu
KALENWho would have that that Kalamar would be intertwined in all of this already?Kalamar and I had met randomly one day, but perhaps it was fate after all. The Supernatural Council had get-togethers where leaders and future leaders of any species could attend and build connection.He stood apart from all of the rest. Some people had tried to speak with him, but I was the only one that he had opened up to. I had immediately deduced that he was a dragon, a powerful one at that, but I did not speak to him simply because of that but because of his personality.Kalamar was a perpetual flirt with certain individuals. I was one of them, but he knew that I was waiting for my mate. He had a short list of people that he could stand, and I was thankfully on that list.I knew that he was a dragon hybrid, but I never knew what type he was or his rank. Rank was never a concern of mine. He was going to become the King of his kind, bringing his people back into the light and out of the shadows. The
