BELLAMY Tonight, I would be officially introducing Kenzie as my mate. The auction was a big to-do every year. It was always staggered so that those who were part of our world would be there at six while the humans would arrive at eight. Integrating within the human world was important, but we also wanted to have something for just us as well. There were always some items to auction off that were magical, so we needed to keep it away from the humans. Some humans knew about us. It allowed us to place our people among the community at large. Other than that, the rest were fairly ignorant just like we needed them to be. The way that Kenzie stood up to her entire family solidified even further that she belonged next to me. It saddened me that she was raised like a prisoner, and I had never seen it. I simply thought she was just reclusive. She thrived in the little bit of the world that she had seen of the past few days. I wanted to show her the freedom that she deserved, and tonight w

BELLAMY Kenzie looked towards our group of guys and smiled at them before turning back to me. “You said that we could talk to Jeremy about the projects,” she pointed out smoothly. I was impressed with how well Kenzie improvised. She did not even show Tara animosity although Tara had encroached upon her mate. Most shifters would have made a scene and ripped Tara’s face off. I supposed I should not have expected any less from her. She tended to surprise me at every corner. “Of course, gorgeous. If you would excuse us, Tara,” I said politely. Once we were out of hearing range, I smirked down at her. “Well played, Ki.” She laughed and kissed my cheek as we walked. “You should be happy. I refrained from ripping her throat out when she looked at you with lust in her eyes,” she said, her eyes sparkling with amusement. I leaned down and nipped her neck. “Keep talking like that, and we’ll never make it to the actual auction.” Her eyes flashed lilac, and my smirk reformed. I loved how h

BELLAMY “$900,000 for the entire collection,” a woman hollered. Kenzie looked surprised with the gusto of the bidding. ‘You know damn well what your pieces are worth. Why did you ever let me value them so low?’ ‘Nobody, not even my family, knew about Avalara Key. Mom had been buying pieces for years. I never wanted to share something so personal with them. I know that makes me sound like a horrible daughter, but Avalara was always my escape from feeling so alone,’ she explained. I placed a kiss to her head. Her response tugged at me because it reminded me of how fucked up her life had been. No, she had not been tortured like her mother, but she was still alone and forced into seclusion. ‘It makes you sound human, not horrible. You’re not alone any longer,’ I promised her. ‘I know,’ she smiled and squeezed my hand. “1,000,000,” Tara said smugly as if nobody would bid higher. Good fucking luck. “2,000,000,” I said, raising my paddle. She looked at me, surprised because I rarely

KENZIE I woke up smiling like an idiot. I did not think that anyone had ever seen me the way that Bellamy had. It instilled more confidence in myself that someone such as my mate did. It was not the bond that drove him to those feelings. He actually truly loved me, and I knew that I had fallen in love with him as well. I threw on one of his shirts and padded out of the bedroom. I followed his scent to the kitchen and saw him hovered over his laptop. I had come to realize how much he actually did, and I was determined to help him. I snuck behind him when he was distracted with work and placed my hands on his shoulders. He went to turn around, but I stopped him. “Nope. Keep working and let me be,” I said. “Maybe I don’t want to let you be,” he challenged, but kept working like I asked. I massaged his shoulders and realized how tense he actually was. Luckily, I learned some great techniques from Papa to use on stiff muscles. It was always part of training because aftercare was just

KENZIE “They would use me to find this power,” I finished for him. Panic flashed through his eyes before it disappeared. He nodded and held me a little tighter. I could tell he was truly worried about this possibility. “Hey, we got this,” I assured him and kissed his cheek. “So, does this mean I can’t use my magic in public?” He shook his head and traced his fingers across my lower back to keep himself focused. We were both logical people for the most part. We saw problems and sought solutions. It served us both well so far, and it would serve us well in the future as well. “No, gorgeous. You can still use your magic. However, we can never let on about your heritage. If you must use a name to explain your lineage, use the Felonia line. That’s the bloodline on my father’s side. I have never publicly shared that I was a Felonia, so it should suffice. You too Luca. You share the bloodline as well.” Luca nodded even though I could tell that he still had not processed it yet. Luca was

KENZIE He placed me on the floor and turned to Bellamy. “Thank you for taking care of our daughter. You’ve always been part of this family, but now it solidifies that. We couldn’t imagine a better mate for Kenzie,” he said, pulling Bellamy into a man hug. The rest approached and gave us similar greetings. It felt like a turning point in all this craziness. Mom pulled me aside and held my face in her hands. Princess Emmaline Venscothi could be your biggest ally or your worst fucking nightmare. As a mother, she was absolutely the most amazing one I could have ever been blessed with. “What we did was unforgivable, and I know we can’t take it back. However, we’re here for you in every way possible.” A single tear fell from her eye by the end of her confession. I wiped the tear away and kissed her cheek. “I forgive you. I still disagree with how you went about it, but I now understand why you did it. We have a lot to discuss, and we’re going to need your help. I love you.” We walke

KENZIEI enjoyed dancing with my fathers just like we used to when I was younger. It reminded me that this was my family, and family always had each other’s backs.Bellamy just chuckled and agreed when I asked him to drop me from a portal above Papa. He did not worry or think it was a dumb idea because he knew I would not do anything that was careless. I loved that about him.He let me be me and loved me for it.We had also been so caught up in the moment that we had not realized that my magic levitated us upwards. Bellamy always had that effect on me though. When he was in front of me, it was only him that I saw.I was surprised to see that at least twenty people showed up while we were caught up in each other.“I love you,” I told him, looking up into his mesmerizing hazel eyes.I leaned up to give him a chaste kiss. If I gave anything more, I would forgo this entire meeting and fuck him in my suite until he felt as good as he made me feel the other day with the car.My hunger and n

KENZIE From there, we decided to head to the War Room in the castle. My body was still feeling exhausted, but I did not want to be a whining Princess or anything. Thankfully, Bellamy hid my discomfort by telling me to hop on his back. “Only if you can convince Beatrice to ride on Luca’s back,” I said, crossing my arms. He apparently mindlinked Luca because he whispered something to her, which made her laugh before hopping onto his back. Well, damn. It worked. Bellamy turned around and gave me a pointed look. I jumped on his back and smacked his ass before pointing at the group ahead of us. He laughed and started after them. ‘She likes him but is nervous,’ I explained to Bellamy. ‘He likes her but is nervous. Whatever are we going to do with those two?’ ‘Force them into enough interaction until they fall madly in love with one another,’ I cooed and placed my chin on his head. We were the last ones to arrive, so all eyes were on us when we entered. I just gave a Princess wave to

BELLAMY “You and Kenzie are great. There’s nothing we wouldn’t do for you. We have all thought of you as a brother since we met you and began working with you. We wouldn’t be anywhere if it hadn’t been for your involvement. Yes, I flirted with Kenzie, but I didn’t mean anything by it. Your mate is beautiful inside and out. We will stand with you both until the end,” Derek said. I gave them all an appreciative smile and nodded my head. I had not anticipated such sentimentality from Derek, but it made me proud of the young man he has become. He was only seventeen, but he had faced so much adversity growing up that it was hard for him to connect with people. His father was an abusive asshole who used him for his magic. Derek had the ability of suggestibility. It was not like Markov’s power. When he tapped into his magic, he could sway someone into doing something, but it was not compulsion. It was just a suggestion. Those with weak minds would fall easily into his traps, but those who

BELLAMY “If our guys are going to be a part of this, it’s not fair to keep everything from them. They need to know what’s at stake with Markov and us,” I told my gorgeous mate. We had just finished a shower. Well, and shower sex. Sex with Kenzie was better than I ever could have imagined that it would be. The fact that she truly wanted to try things with me made me love her even more. I could not wait to return the favor and let her try out one of her fantasies on me. It would be very pleasurable for both of us if I knew her at all. “I agree. They need to know about the kidnappings, the Council, and our marks. How do we go about this? You know my fathers will want to ensure they’re up to the challenge and scare the shit out of them. Plus, they need to also know about the prophecy.” Hmm. They could be like our very own Squad One. I liked that idea. It served Blood Moon very well since the pack had over 155,000 pack members. It was divided up into eight sectors which were essentially

KENZIE“Mom, it’s good to see you. What’s up?” I asked, answering the door to her.Mom smiled and gave me a hug. She asked if we could talk for a moment. Bellamy excused himself with a kiss to both our cheeks. I loved the fact that those two had always been so close.I doubted that I would ever get used to him being mine. No matter how many times he kissed me, I still wondered if it was a dream. Understanding that we were mates made me understand why I always thought about him growing up and especially once he was gone. We would never be able to make up for the time we lost together, but we had now and forever to make the most of.“Nae told me about this party you will be attending and will be right here. I asked Luca to send us Beatrice as well. We really like her, by the way.”The other two showed up, and I was not entirely certain what they were going to say. Mom said that she and Aunt Nae knew about the party. Would she try and talk me out of it?“So, you know about the party?” I
Enchanted Dezantre Chapter 38
KENZIE “You knew,” Luca accused, pointing at me with an arm around Beatrice. I had never seen my brother happier than he was the moment that the mate-bond clicked into place. On the outside, Luca showed that he did not care much about finding his mate, but it was an entirely different truth on the inside. My brother longed for his completion, but I knew that he was worried about leaving me alone. We understood things about each other that others never would because of the bond that we shared. “Who do you think told Nonno we had to throw an impromptu coronation? I sure as hell didn’t need it. Marnie clued Bel and I in when we went to jailbreak her. She said it was the only way to save you two. No idea why knowing the mate thing matters, but we like her too much to let her die,” I told him. He stared me down for a whole thirty seconds before he nodded and pulled her closer. “Thank you. I like her too much for her to die as well.” She stared at him like he was crazy. Ah, yeah. Well,

LUCABeatrice was the most gorgeous woman I had ever seen before. I stupidly thought that I beheld true beauty before, but it was a cheap imitation.“Are you ready for this, Lu?” she asked, looking at me with those doe eyes that always pulled me in.“As long as you’re on up there with me. You’ll stand with my parents,” I told her, placing a chaste kiss on her lips.“I’ll be there to cheer you on.” She gave me one last hug and went to stand in line.Nonno and Leonidas were first. Then my parents. Kenzie and I were behind them, and the rest of our people were behind us.I was fairly nervous which was hilarious because I did not really do nervous. I was always a more go-with-the-flow type. It drove Kenzie absolutely insane which was one reason why it became part of me. I absolutely loved my wombmate, but I was sworn to a lifetime of tormenting her.“Welcome! Thank you for joining us this morning for this impromptu coronation of our Alpha heirs. Alpha Prince heir Luca Venscothi and Alpha
Enchanted Dezantre Chapter 36
LUCAThis was a very impromptu coronation, so I knew it would not be a huge fanfare which was perfect for me. Many people would want the attention of the adoring crowd, but that was not how we were raised.Our parents and Nonno ensured that we understood it was a gift to be in the position that we were. It was not our right but our privilege. Our duty was to always be the leaders that our people needed.It took a while for our people to heal after what Selene had done. It was still hard to hear about what she did and the hand she had in Mom’s torment, but like the badass that Mom was, Selene got her ass handed to her on a silver fucking platter.My fathers clasped a hand on both shoulders and smiled at me. They were the best fathers that I could have ever been blessed with. They always put Mom, Kenzie, and me first. They hurt Kenzie, but she moved past it, and so did I. They fucked up, but they owned up to that and were trying to right their wrong with her.“Son, we’re incredibly prou

LUCAI woke up before Beatrice did, and I was happy for a little time to observe her beauty. She was the most gorgeous woman I had ever seen before. Yes, there was a little age gap, but we both looked to be about the same age anyways. The numbers truly did not matter to me. Hopefully they meant the same to her.I felt like my heart had stopped when she showed up to the auction. I could not take my eyes off her and even called my fathers for advice. I knew I liked her, but I was not certain if it was reciprocated because she was sexy, intelligent, and was a powerful witch. What was I? Yeah, exactly. None of those things. Well, I was smart but not intelligent like Kenz. They told me to ask her to tell me about herself, so I did.She told me about her family. Her brother had died, but she did not want to elaborate, so I did not push. Then she told me about her daughter who mated with a guard here in Aedrul. That was cool. I offered to take her on a tour while she was there, which she eag

BELLAMYKenzie led me back to her suite. I knew that she had something on her mind, but it was something that she was trying to work out as well.Her fingers kept going to my mark before biting her lip. I could use Marnie’s power to dive into her mind, but I would not break that level of trust with her. It was something that I would never do.She pulled me into the bathroom and hopped up on the counter. I slid in between her thighs.“What’s on your mind, gorgeous?”I pulled her hair back over her shoulder and kissed it before kissing my mark. I smiled as a shiver overcame her.“Why do our marks look different than other people’s marks? I thought it was just the magic, but I’ve seen marks between shifters and witches, shifters and shifters, and so on and so forth. Why are ours unique?”My brows furrowed as I worked through what she said. It was something that I had not really paid attention to either. Take Aunty’s and Uncle’s marks for example. They were matching silver rings. It was t

BELLAMY Kenzie was truly my equal in all things. She just kept surprising me left and right about her desires and her needs. I would always give her anything she asked for. For her to say that my darker side is alluring would have ended in another round entirely. How did nobody make the connection between the orphans and Aedrul like Kenzie did in no time? I had no doubt that she was right about it all. If we could prove that this was a habit and regular occurrence, then it would be one further nail in Markov’s coffin. I was trying to figure out why he would take kingdom children but soon realized a possibility. If he could separate them from their homes and families, he could mold them into whatever he wanted them to be. He could release an army into Aedrul that nobody would suspect with his compulsion. I shared my thoughts with Kenzie, and she agreed while punching a wall. Wrong time to be aroused, but that was hot. I loved the fire that was inside of my mate. “Well, we can figur
