My body felt heavy as if I was extremely tired and just needed to sleep. My eyes were closed, I could tell but I was not tired but at the same time, I was not full of life. I felt like I did not have the energy to move an inch but considering I did not know where I was, I figured I had to eventually. I opened my eyes slowly against the force that wanted to keep them closed and I looked around.
I found myself in the middle of a forest. I could not see much because it was really dark. However, I could make out the tall trees that surrounded my body. There was definitely a force holding my body down because I felt like I could not move as I please. My body really did feel heavier to move on my own. Nonetheless, I gathered what little strength I had and tried to take a step forward.
Where am I?
As I took a step forward, I heard chains drag on the floor and it was then I looked down to see my feet in shackles.

Destined to Reign Like a Carousel...but Faster
Ambrosius Selinofoto (P.O.V.)I watched the witch at work. She was still preparing her ingredients for the ritual while Alveric’s body laid limp on the floor.“Considering you were definitely not ready to perform the ritual, why did you go ahead and kill his way before you even got ready?” I asked her while I munched on some chips I found somewhere.I got hungry like an hour ago but could not leave for my lunch because I had to stay and monitor the witch to make sure she did not do any funny business. At this point, she was beginning to smell really enticing. I felt so hungry I could gnaw on my own arm.“I really just wanted to kill him and got so excited about the thought that I became impatient, but I do appreciate his silence. He looks way more attractive when there is not anything coming out of his mouth.” She explained and I rolled my eyes.“That reminds me of something I brought for you.&rd
Destined to Reign Escaping Eternal Death
Alveric Valentino (P.O.V.)As I stood in the midst of the darkness, I began to feel dizzy, my heart ached, and I felt as though I was spinning. I could not tell if my world was actually spinning because it was just so dark, but before I knew it, I fell to the ground.What is going on? I felt like I had no recollection of anything. Who am I? Where am I? What is this?Just then I felt I sharp pain in my chest and an aching sensation in my head. I held my head as I screamed out loud. My eyes were squeezed shut and I silently prayed for the pain to stop.It lasted for about a minute before the pain stopped and my mind felt safe and sound again. Just then my thoughts were flooded with voices and faces.I remember now. I know where I am and what I sent here to do.The shackles from around my ankles disappeared and I was now free to move my body however I wanted. I began to walk aimlessly into the darkness. I tried to walk in a str
Destined to Reign Hoodoo Voodoo
Ambrosius Selinofoto (P.O.V.)The witch – or Edith as she referred to herself during the ritual, finished the ritual and we were now awaiting the results. It was like the effects of her powers were loading or something because right after she finished doing all of that hoodoo voodoo stuff, she took a step back and looked at the bodies expectantly.“So, what now?” I asked her while she just stood in one spot looking as though, she was really deep in thought.“Shush! You will break my chain of thought. Just wait for it be patient.”“Wait for wha-I was cut off by the two bodies on the metal table shaking violently. Their limbs were vigorously knocking against the metal table while they shook which caused a really loud noise throughout the room. Even I cringed at the loud, echoing sounds traveling through the room at the moment. “That is, it…. yes baby!!! And she strikes a
Destined to Reign The Awakening
Ambrosius Selinofoto (P.O.V.)“Corpus levitas Diablo daminium mondo vicium. Corpus levitas Diablo daminium mondo vicium. Corpus levitas Diablo daminium mondo vicium.” Edith chanted.The room got dark for a second before the lights turned back on. The temperature dropped significantly, and the room seemed to have welcomed a dark presence. I could feel someone standing behind me, but I refused to turn around to see who my friend was. I may be a vampire, but I know my battles. I stood still, even being afraid to breathe. I could only be thankful at this moment that I am not actually alive and that I only breathe as to not freak people out.My eyes drifted to where Edith stood, and I watched as she pulled something out of a bag. It looked like a snake. It wiggled in her hand and hissed at her. She places it on one of the metal tables and began to chant again but this time it was something different.“Adoni, Hel
Destined to Reign Back to Reality
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I will not lie when I say that Alessandro and I almost had sex that night. I mean it was expected as that is something that almost always happens when a man gives a woman a massage. I think if it were not for the fact that I actually fell asleep it would have happened, but I was turned on regardless of that fact. However, I valued the very deep sleep I got out of the massage, so when I felt his hands lingering in certain areas or straying to the forbidden parts of my body that I warned him about, I pretended to be asleep until I eventually did fall asleep for real.The next morning after that, I hoped he would not ask me about that night or even mention it. I had hoped that he would not be under the impression that just because I let him give me a massage is an indication that I have forgiven him for what he did or that he was making progress with me. I appreciated the massage and him helping me clean the house, but it is what
Destined to Reign Hired Preparation
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I was awoken from my very deep slumber by consistent banging on my door. It was not coming from my bedroom door but rather the front door to my house. I rolled over in my bed and tapped my phone as to check the time. My eyes were still glued shut from the sleep that was just taken away from me. I struggled to open my eyes and when I finally won the battle, I was blinded by the light on my phone screen.It was five o’clock in the evening. Hmm not bad. I had expected to wake up at nightfall, to say the least.I had gotten a day off from Dimitri and his annoying theatrics so I did what anyone would do. I spent the night binge-watching vampires and werewolves fight while I finished a bottle of wine. I guess I stayed up a bit too late because I went to bed around nine o’clock this morning. When I finally got to crawl into bed I instantly passed out. The warmth, the comfort, the welcoming feeling my bed offered&he
Destined to Reign Getting Ready for the Event
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I turned on the shower and while I waited for the water to get hot, I went ahead and began to brush my teeth. When I got done with freshening up my breath, I undid the bun in my hair and stepped into the shower. I would assume that the hairstylist needed clean hair to make me look like a princess for the night.Today is the day of the charity event. After Dimitri told me I had to make an appearance and that I had no choice in the matter, I had been overthinking the event and thinking about the worse possible scenarios that could play out while I am there. Supposedly there would be an auction, where actual women would be bet on by old creepy men and would be forced to spend a night with them or go on a date with them. It is really up to the creepy old men on what they want to do to the women. Damn, that sounds bad. It is not anything sexual but more of a companionship sort of thing.When I learned about the details of th
Destined to Reign Going Through the Motion
Alveric Valentine (P.O.V.)Ever since Laila and Orin woke up, I have been monitoring their progress as well as their vitals. They still have not recollected their memories but that would take a while. I did not tell Dimitri about our progress with the bodies because I felt like that would conjure events that even I am unaware of. Edith has proven her usefulness but since the guardians had awoken, she has also proven just how useless she could become. I know she was looking forward to leaving this place with the guardians in tow but each day I sought to make the guardians better, I hoped their memories would come back so that I could warn them; so that they can fight this battle on their own successfully.However, I could not say for sure that they would recover any time soon. They were so confused about everything that we had to hide all things that indicated anything out of the ordinary like supernatural things that would freak them out. That meant ke

Destined to Reign Back Where We Belong
Hunter(P.O.V.)When we finally reach the Clan, it was already past midnight. The journey was peaceful; my mate had fallen asleep on my back. My mom has also remained unconscious, but the soft breaths I heard on the way confirmed that she is been sleeping. Dad mind linked everyone to stay inside, saying that we retrieved their Queen, but she is sleeping so they can see her after she wakes up. I see Theo and Liam get out of the house to help us with our mates.The rest of the guys leave to their respective houses, seeing that everything's fine now. Theo helps get Skye off my back, so I can shift, while Liam helps mom. Dad shifts and we carry our mates inside. Skye wakes up in my arms with a start, gasping in shock when she sees me. I feel her body tense, as she glances around the hallway."Shh, little mate, you are okay. I am taking you to my room so you can rest. Well, after we get you clean." I smile lovingly at her, not showing her how pi

He is desperate to get to hismate and soon the other guys join him.I glance at the unconsciousgirl in my arms then carefully carry her away from the mayhem.Theamount of bruises on her body is concerning, but the only thing thatcatches my dark side's attention is the smell of male's seed coming from herbody. I notice a trail of dried white substance on her thighs,confirming my fears. The blood between her legs tells me she was forced.I will kill the fucker who did this to her.I carefully lay mymate by the tree then take my shirt off and put it on her. She is onlywrapped
Destined to Reign A Rescue Mission
Skye (P.O.V.)No, not again. Please God no.I am so tired and fed up of going through this. How can a father do this to their own child?It is disgusting.I never understood why some people would willingly have children only to mistreat them later on in life. In my opinion, it takes a different type of person to do something like this to their own flesh and blood. To the persons who have justified my father's actions in the past by telling me that he was depressed and how much he missed my mother, go fuck yourself. People lose their loved ones all the time. Not because I may look like my mother means that I am her or gives him any right to violate me.He is a disgusting man, and he deserves to die. I really hope he does.And I know it is said that you should not wish bad upon others or wish death upon others because karma will get you, but I do not care. At least if I die, I will not have to endure this lifelong pain and suf
Destined to Reign Captured
Trigger Warning: This chapter mentions r*pe and inc*st.Skye(P.O.V.)I tried to separate my mind from what was actually happening to me in this very moment. I tried to zone out like usually would on any other given day. When it happened the first time, I was traumatized. When it happened the second time I was furious...but when it continued to happen after time and time again of trying to escape, I knew that this would simply become my new life. I was no longer sad, or depressed. I was no longer traumatized - okay maybe this is the definition of trauma but I felt numb.I was finally numb to the pain and betrayal I felt all this time but what was so different this time.As much as I wanted to not be able to think or feel, I could no longer control it. Is my brain really trying to get me to confront my problems now?If so, then it really has some messed up timing.Of all the things I should b
Destined to Reign Unexpected Trouble
Twenty years later….Hunter (P.O.V.)"Hunter!"I feel fingers poking my cheek, but I try to ignore them.If that mystery person knows what is good for them, then they would not be trying to wake me up from my very relaxing slumber. As I tried to ignore the intruder from waking me up, I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to drift back into the dream I was just having. It was fresh in my mind and though the very sweet slumber that I was having felt nearby, as the little nuisance continued to bother me, I could feel it drifting further away from me.Great, now I am about to be grumpy for the rest of the day. I wanted to wake up fully to push the assailant away and maybe lock my goddamn bedroom door which I really thought I did do last night, but I know that if I force my tiresome body off this bed right now, I will be forced to actually murder someone today and I
Destined to Reign A Family
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I do not know what I was expecting but it was not this. Things were really bad at the clan and I could have sensed it when as soon as I got to the borderline and I think everyone felt it. The air felt tense and quiet and as soon as we got to Ambrosius's land I can feel everyone's stress and worry.Call it motherly instincts I guess.I sort of felt bad for them. Though, the situation was kind of disappointing. Ambrosius should have put his clan first. After all, he would not have great strength and power without them or their loyalty to him. However, that was not the case. He neglected his duties as an alpha and instead of thinking about the clan's needs, he got selfish and simply found a Queen replacement. A clan does not need a Queen unless she is capable of uplifting the alpha and the clan. Had he thought about this and the needs of his people, he would not have taken that skank in.What is even worse is that s
Destined to Reign Taking Over
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I do not think that I can completely hide the fact that the thought of seeing Ambrosius again is making my heart race a million miles per minute. Since I left the clan and vowed to never go back since everything had happened, I got busy and never gave Ambrosius a second thought. I kept my mind on building a clan of my own and finding something secure and stable for myself. Something that I can call my own.Something that could not be taken away from me without a fight. A lot of fighting.But now as I prepare myself and his son to return to his clan for a visit, I could not help but think about how things could have been different. Had I not left the clan, how would have my life turned out.I mean I left and made a name for myself. I got stronger than ever and even built a family of my own. Loyal friends turned to family.I guess this is another case of 'everything happening for a reason.'I needed t
Destined to Reign Reuniting the Destined Mates
Shane (P.O.V.)It has been five years since our Queen left the clan and I can honestly say that it is like she left with the heart of it. The clan has never been the same since she left and it had everything to do with the alpha. Our leader, nature's chosen leader, has fallen since that God awful day Queen walked out on us. The clan felt betrayed to some point when she left because it was like watching a mother figure give up on you and even though we knew it had something to do with what the Alpha did, despite the fact that it angered all of us, we kind of had no choice but to side with him regardless.That is unless we wanted to choose to go rogue and then join her clan of Deads. Which is something that we will never do of course. Part of being in a clan is being loyal no matter what. In instances where the alpha of that clan does not respect their clan members, practices a dictatorship type of leadership, or promotes fear instead of respect for obed
Destined to Reign Years Later
Five years later...Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I think that I have been doing well on my own since I left Ambrosius. Or at least that is what I have trained myself to believe, I do not need him or the Clan. I have been alone all of my life. Betrayal, loneliness, and pain is all I know, and it has become something that I have accepted. It is a part of me. It made me the strong woman that I am today. So much so that I now give orders instead of taking them and following them.This is nothing new.It was bound to happen eventually you know. This is who I am. This is what I had been trained all of those years to become.A Queen.A monster.How could anyone love someone like me. At this point it is kind of impossible. At least that is how I feel. It is how I
