Here's a bonus chapter for you lovelies.
BELLAMY I was momentarily speechless. Her magic was very powerful. Magic vibrated at frequencies. Stronger magic had a stronger frequency. The strength of her frequency was remarkable, and this was untrained. I had never felt a magic this strong before. They had to have something extremely potent to block it because this was incredible. “No, he will not. You had no right to take my magic from me. You made me feel like I was broken and cursed. You lied to me my whole life and kept me locked away in this damn castle. You apparently never cared to see how much this hurt me. How many times I felt unworthy. How many times I felt like a fucking burden. Why was all of this worth it to you?” she growled. Her magic burned brighter with her emotions. I could hear all of the pain and anguish in her voice. I could fucking damn near feel her heartbreak and loneliness. I had no idea how she handled it all by herself without shattering underneath the pressure. Her family looked at her with pain
KENZIE My magic scared me for a moment. I did not want to hurt Papa, but I just wanted him to stop his hostility towards Bellamy. He was there helping me when everyone else lied to me. I was tired of it all, but Bellamy pulled me back and centered me. I did not know what I would have done without him beside me right now. My parents had always been my heroes. They were the people that I aspired to be. Fearless like Mom. Brave and strong like my fathers. It was like I never really knew them at all because they used and manipulated me to the point where I had felt so broken inside that I could not handle it any longer. Did they ever see it though? No, they did not. There was a lot of things that I kept to myself or hid away from them. However, there was no way that I hid it all. Yet, they did not see my suffering. There were a few servants waiting for us outside my suite once we got there. “Highness, we are here to help you however you need,” Penny, my lady-in-waiting, said while sh
BELLAMY Luca regarded me carefully and had that knowing look in his eyes. “You care for her, don’t you?” I looked towards my bedroom and nodded. Hopefully it would get to the point where I could confess how I truly felt to her, but I would never rush her or pressure her. Knowing that she had crushed on me too was reassuring. “I do. It’s hard to explain. She’s special,” I admitted and helped carry the rest of his boxes into his room. Having Luca and Kenzie here would make life interesting. I spent years going through the motions of my duties, but I did not always find pleasure in it. It was lonely. I got to meet and deal with a lot of people, but I did most things on my own. Now, I would have those two around me as well. “Thanks for helping her. I had no idea all this time, or I wouldn’t have let them do that. They pushed her almost too far,” he said angrily. I set the box down and looked at him carefully. Almost too far. I heard what they both said to their parents today, but his
KENZIEThe hot water helped to wash away the stress of the day the past few days. There was plenty of it at that.Beatrice was kind, funny, and I really liked her. We just clicked because I could see how genuine she was.I did not understand why I got possessive when she hugged Bellamy, but I did. I felt a little bit embarrassed about that. As much as I would love to have a claim on him, I did not. Perhaps it was because we had been getting closer.Beatrice explained many things to me about binding magic. She was very knowledgeable, and she said that her entire lineage focused on binding magic. Apparently, there were many forms of it. Some could affect bonds between people. Others, like her magic, could bind magic so that nobody could steal it. I could not imagine what that would be like. Thankfully, Bellamy was able to stop them before I did have to feel it.It was fascinating to learn about her magic. It was a whole new thing for me because it had always been a topic that was not di
KENZIE He pulled my body towards him and kissed my lips softly which quickly grew more demanding. He was trying to erase my doubt and sear himself into me just like I tried to do to him earlier. His tongue caressed mine as he explored my mouth hungrily. I nudged him against the headboard and straddled his lap. My lips met his with vigor. My body needed him. I needed him. This was more than just feeling better. There was this deep hunger that I did not even understand. I had never really had an attraction to someone before like I did to Bellamy, but this was different. Everything that I was needed everything that he was, and I did not want to fight that. Our lips and tongues fought for dominance, but I gladly gave it to him. I had never kissed anyone before him, but it felt so fucking good. His sinful lips promised me magic beneath each kiss and delivered in full. We broke apart to breathe, but he trailed kisses down my neck. At the most sensitive spot, he sucked on it, eliciting a
KENZIE He kissed me deeply. One of his hands held onto my hip, and his other hand plunged two fingers deep inside of me. He picked up his pace. His fingers were pure magic and coaxed immense pleasure. If this was just from his fingers, I could not wait to feel what his cock could do. I felt my walls clenching, my arousal spilling down my thighs. I had never been so wet in my entire life. I was no stranger to pleasuring myself, but even that did not compare to what he was making me feel right now. His lips traveled down and found my peaks. He gently bit down, causing me to cry out his name as he pushed me over the edge. He slowed his pace and pulled out of me once he felt my orgasm subside. “Holy hell,” I said, breathing heavily into his neck. That was the most intense orgasm I had ever felt. Fuck. I needed him. I needed him badly. I wanted to know the pleasures that his cock could deliver too. I wanted to make him feel as good as he just made me feel. I lifted up to pull his pant
BELLAMY She followed me without hesitation, but I could feel her confusion through the new bond. She was legitimately my mate. No wonder why I always lost control around her. My magic knew that hers was being suppressed. It also recognized hers as its. I did not have to get those serums analyzed to now know that my hunch had been correct. To top it all off, now they hid yet another important part of her identity. They hid her wolf. Kenzie was pulling on a pair of jeans but left my shirt on. I liked her in my clothes. She looked so delectable, but now was not the right time for those thoughts. The time would be later, and there would be plenty of time for those thoughts. Sex with Kenzie was beyond incredible. I had never felt so complete in my entire life. I loved everything about my mate. She was strong, fearless, and gave me back even more pleasure than she took. It was glorious to watch as she bounced on my cock, taking her own pleasure. For years I had imagined what our first
BELLAMY “They hid it from her and tried to strip it away entirely by lying to Bellamy’s parents about what the fuck a Delzet was for and asking them to find one,” Luca explained. Leonidas, Q, and Macario growled with that knowledge. They were fond of Aunty, but they knew how reprehensible those actions were. I was a very surprised that her parents had been able to keep it from those three. I had no idea what the hell story they concocted to explain why Kenzie could not access any magic whatsoever, but it had to have been convincing as hell. I would also be curious to figure out what story they sold to explain all of the specialized power dampeners. “Why?” Macario demanded. His eyes flashed with his own magic as he stared at them. “Because it was safer for her,” Aunty tried to reason once again. I shook my head, shocked that she still thought that. “Where’s the amulet?” I asked them. “No offense, Bellamy, but this has nothing to do with you. So back the fuck out of our business,”
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
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
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
