Here is a slightly longer chapter. Now, we have the Council headquarters. One thing to check off the list. Which four couples do you think ended up with a surprise that night?
ZIYAHThere was a knock on my office door.My sexy mate leaned against the door frame and eyed me like a feast that he could not wait to consume. Let me be honest… I was just as bad as him and Byron though. I could never get enough of them.“What’s my amazing Luna up to?” he asked me.I walked around the desk and leaned against it, biting my lip to suppress my smile because I loved that he thought I was a good Luna, someone that he could be proud of standing beside.“I was just finishing up some calculations for the unbinding of Jarin’s mother from what they used to bind her to their clan. It’s a slow process, but we’re making progress. I had her focused for thirty-seven seconds today. It might not seem like a lot, but it really is. Cai and I are estimating that the new moon will be when we can unbind her permanently because Byron is a key factor according to the Gods. Anyways. Are you ready for dinner?”He nodded, swooping in for a sloppy kiss that immediately filled me with need. He
DANTETonight was the night of the event where my girl would be rescuing Nailah if all went according to plan.I loved Ziyah with every fucking fiber of my being. I knew how strong and capable she was. We all fucking paled in comparison to her power. Never had I met someone that could stand beside her as an equal in that regard. Did that make me worry any less about her? No, it fucking did not.The only reason why I was as close to accepting the fact that tonight was essential was because I would be there as her personal guard, something that would not seem out of the ordinary given the status allotted to her fake identity.“Would you chill the fuck out? You’ll fucking blow everything if you’re this uptight during the event,” Chris said, sighing in exasperation.I glared at him but did not stop my pacing. I was proud of him for holding his tongue for the past thirty minutes. He lasted a lot longer than I would have before opening my fucking mouth.“The only one between the two of us th
DANTE She just smirked at me and gently squeezed my erection, as if saying that it should be obvious. Mischief twinkled in her amethyst eyes. Oh, she was in that type of mood. Well, carry the fuck on then. My arms spread out wide along the back of the seat. I watched her intently as she undid my belt, button, and ever so fucking slowly lowered my zipper. She reached in and pulled my cock out. It was already hard and waiting for her. She licked her lips and dropped to her knees in front of me. Her hands gently grabbed my cock, sending a flood of tantalizing sparks along my shaft. It throbbed in anticipation. Her tongue darted out, licking up my precum, and moaning at the sound. That sound had me twitching. “Look at what I did to you.” She pouted, looking up at me through her eyelashes. “I made you unbearably hard, so let me fix that.” “Good. I can’t wait for you to gag on my thick cock. I want to fuck your mouth so hard that it’s all you can think about tonight while you play prete
ZIYAHNailah slinked her way across the room, taking a seat next to me on the loveseat. There was a distinct feline appearance around her that stood out amongst the rest in the lounge. Green-yellow eyes that looked as though she could see into my soul.Red lips tipped up into a seductive grin, luring me in for a night of fun, pleasure, and excitement. One that was promised for me to never forget.Manicured fingers tucked stray hairs behind my ear before one traced down across my jaw.Our interaction was being watched by her handlers, so it was up to me to sell this. My tongue swiped across my bottom lip as I looked into her eyes.Pain was buried so fucking deep, but I still saw the silhouette of it. I had no idea how she got through each day while being handled like she was. They treated her like nothing more than a bot to ssmake money for them. Her kind was inherently attractive, so she was bound to be someone who raked in the dollar bills. Not by her choice, mind you.‘Who is the sex
CAIATHUSI was still stunned at the turn of events. Nailah had been someone that I had loved and wanted to bond myself to, but I was the one that insisted that we wait for the blood moon because I had a sneaking suspicion that she would be fated to me, but I did not want her to ever regret choosing me.Then she was gone with no warning. Her kind did not really congregate together because of how coveted their species was. They were safer apart. However, I did enlist their help in finding her because they could seek their own kind out. However, it was a dead end at every turn.I never gave up hope of finding her one day though. It was another reason why I had never bonded to anyone else. I wanted her and only her as my life partner. Sure, I had occasional hookups, ones that I regretted now that I was in the presence of the one I truly desired.There was no telling what all had transpired, but I did clearly catch my cousin mentioning that she had been captured. Not to mention the warning
DANTELast night, Ziyah came up to the suite all ecstatic, telling me about Caiathus’ mate-bond with Nailah. That was something that I had not seen coming, but I was more than thrilled. He deserved it, and I was certain that she did too.Personally, I could not imagine being brokered and handled like that, as if I was nothing more than a dollar sign. Each of the innocents that I noticed who were being handled all had something in common – their eyes were dead, void of the hope for salvation from the horror shitshow that was their lives.“Hello,” I said, answering my phone.“Well, the bust was extremely successful. We were able to rescue thirty-nine innocents and arrested all of the douchebags that we got our hands on. Your Luna’s brilliant plan worked out perfectly,” Diego praised.I turned on my phone’s speaker so that I had both hands to finish getting Blakely and Asher dressed.“That’s great to hear. We have some temporary housing set up in both packs until we get something more per
ZIYAH Going to Coverstone was interesting to say the least because there was such a diversity in those that had been saved. Out of the thirty-nine innocents that were saved: Nine were vampires. The youngest was a female who was barely old enough to be classified as a teenager. Three of them were young adults under fifty years of age. Yes, that was considered young adult for vampires. There were three adult women and two adult men. All nine of them were gifted, which was precisely why they were forced to attend that event. There was one male siren. I had never met a male before, but my intuition was telling me to introduce him to Noriel. Was it possible that they would turn out to be mates? I supposed that anything was possible. Two were serpent-shifters. They had been den mates when they were captured. This was their tenth year since then. Sadly, the rest of the den had been killed because they were not gifted like these two were. One was an albino bear-shifter. One might ask why
ELLE Nailah was an amazing woman that I was lucky to have met for a couple of reasons. First, she made Caiathus incredibly happy. That meant everything to me because I saw him as a brother. Therefore, he held a very dear place in my heart. Second, she was so damn strong. Despite everything that she had been through, she was still someone who loved to smile as well as loved to stop and smell the roses. Our boys were also enthralled with her. It made sense once she explained why that was. Her species were created by the Goddess Bastet to be guardians, much like the Fae gods created the Protector lines, and the Goddess Hecate created vampires. As such, pure souls were drawn to sphinxes more than anyone else, subconsciously being drawn to their species’ purpose. It also made complete sense why she was paired with Caiathus. He might be a suave and sophisticated Protector who religiously stuck to titles, protocol, and such. But he was also the one that would rain hell down upon anyone w
