Dalilah and her sister will have a purpose at Nightshade. Any guesses as to what it might be? Like/comment/vote if you enjoyed the chapter. And there was no way in hell that she would allow herself to lose that bet.
ELLE Dahlia’s sister was a bright ball of sunshine that radiated happiness. That would not have been true had Cadence’s sister not protected her in the only way that she could. She was more than excited to leave the pack and come back with us. Cadence was left to start packing her things up while Dahlia came to the office with me so that she could help us figure out who we could trust in this pack. She was more than happy to help out. We left Gabriel and Ansley to watch over her. They would not let any harm come to her, and I could tell that it lifted an ever-present weight off Dahlia’s shoulders. Our people followed behind us as she led us to the dead Alpha’s office. It smelled like a brothel in here, making me nearly gag. I went to open the window, but Caiathus snapped his fingers, and the room was immediately aired out and smelled like the forest after a rainstorm. “You’re my hero, Caiathus. That was a horrid smell. You just saved my life,” I told him. “I could never let you di
ELLE Alpha Denver had his work cut out for him. The Dalestone pack had plenty of corruption running through its veins, but there was even more hope to overshadow that. Dahlia and her sister offered to stay and help the new leadership get their footing in the pack before she came back with the others who chose to relocate to Nightshade. I was very proud of her for making such an offer because it showed her resilience, determination, and strength. “We need to get a suite in the packhouse with two rooms ready when we get home,” I told my mate who was driving us back to where we got the cars in the first place. “Why would we need to do that, darling?” he asked me curiously. I would admit that he had taken well all the crazy shit that came with being mated to me. He embraced every part of me and loved them all. I thanked Selene every day for gifting me the best mate that I could have ever hoped for. “Alpha Theo and his currently rejected mate will be coming to us for the weekend,” I s
ELLE “Your mate is perfectly safe in here without you,” I told Diego. We were about to open the portal, and I did not to overwhelm and ambush the two coming through. “I know that she is. I just like irritating you,” he cooed. Kade used the shadows to open the door and pushed him outside before slamming the door shut. “Not cool, Kade,” he shouted from the other side of the door. I leaned up and rewarded my mate with a kiss. He placed a kiss on my forehead before pulling me to his side. The portal opened to show the inside of a white room, but the two people in the center with very confused looks on their faces were my focus. “You can just walk right through. She’ll close it when you’re on this side,” I said, waving them in. She went to grab a bag on the floor, but he beat her to it and rolled his eyes at her when she stuck him with the same look that I gave Kade all the time. Brynn was gorgeous with her auburn hair, high cheekbones, and beautiful expressive amber eyes. I could
ELLE We reconvened at dinner time. We had food brought into the conference room so that we could discuss things privately. Tinsley offered to get our guests, so we were just waiting for them to join us. Kade said that he talked to Alpha Theo, so I hoped it helped. It seemed to have when they walked through the door with his hand on her lower back. “How are you two doing?” I asked, as they sat down. Brynn looked at him before looking at me. I could immediately see that something was off. She opened her mouth to speak but closed it and looked back at him. “She had rough nightmare when she took a nap,” Alpha Theo supplied, his lips tipping down as if to say that rough was an understatement. Dante was looking at her carefully, obviously seeing something that we could not. He stood up and knelt down next to her. “I’m far more fucking talented than my sister,” he said, side-eying me, “part of my gift allows me to see snippets, impressions, and such. Can I try to take a closer look at
ELLE Today would be the last day before Alpha Theo and Brynn headed back to the pack. My heart truly went out to them because she had already faced so much tragedy in her life and now there was danger lurking in the shadows wanting nothing but to hurt and enslave her. They would never touch her though. “I don’t snore,” I heard Brynn say as she and Alpha Theo walked down the hallway together. “Yes you do. It sounds just like an adorable kitten,” he told her, smirking down at her. “I’ll show you adorable kitten.” She glared at him before elbowing him. Kade and I watched them interact and smiled at each other. It seemed that being here even briefly had been good for them. I hoped that they could continue to heal. “How about at training tomorrow then? I want to see what all the fuss is about the great Brynn Fullilove’s fighting skills,” he offered. A mischievous grin lit up her face as she nodded, saying that she could not wait. They both finally realized that we were right here an
KADE My mate’s delicious body was wrapped around me as I thrusted into her tight little pussy. I would never be able to get enough of her. Claws anchored into my shoulders, her back arching to get closer to me. Her eyes rolled with that angle, a growl reverberating from her chest. Shadows danced along her skin to hold her in that exact position. Her body shivered like it always did when I used them on her body. It was one thing that encouraged me to master control of them. She loved what I could do to her with my new gift. “Fuck!” she cried out. We were both close, so I pounded into her even harder than before. She screamed my name to the heavens over and over again. It was empowering to know that I could cause her so much pleasure and that I could give her back what she gave me. “Tell this universe who owns your pleasure and then come all over my cock,” I demanded, a shadow dancing around her throat for extra stimulation. “ALPHA KADE,” she screamed. She immediately clenched aro
ELLE “What did they find?” I asked Valis. Our leadership, Valis, and Mystra were gathered together in the conference room that Apollo conveniently named Mission Control. There had apparently been disturbing reports regarding a circuit of feeding rooms. Valis’ coven would typically handle this by themselves, but it was beyond their ability. The future role that we would have within the supernatural community also played in this. “The Pramble coven operates six different feeding rooms in the South, but the one in Atlanta caters to selective pallets. Dragons, Fae, and sirens are just a few options to choose from. They are not always available, but there is always at least one of them. One of my contacts mentioned that they have a ‘main attraction’ as they casually put it,” Valis explained. I tried to shove aside the disgust I felt, but nothing was strong enough to move it. I hated what these individuals were forced to endure. Their plight resonated with me because of my past. There wa
ELLE Last night we met with Pharos and Vladimir who were the two vampire contacts that we would have on the inside with us. First, we would have to attend the auction which would allow the six of us to purchase three feeders each. That right there would be a minimum of eighteen people we would be saving. Then we would go to the feeding room for an hour before the Celestials would be brought out. The good news was that our secret identities would grant Kade and me access to the Celestials. Francesca, the third vampire contact, helped me get dressed up for the party. I had a part to play even if it would be one I absolutely loathed. Raw sensuality was what I had to ooze. A Countess was at the top of the food chain, so I needed to keep that in mind. ‘Remember that they all want something from you – to be you, to consume you, or you to consume them. Remind them of how much they need you, and they will be eating directly out of your palm.’ I was dressed in a skintight crimson silk dres
