Alpha Twins! Heads up that there will be a Legacies storyline that will focus on the next generations from the various books in both the Fated series and the Dark Moon series. Let me know what you thought about this chapter!
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
KADE The only thing that was keeping me in check was the fact that we were going to be removing these innocents from here tonight. This was a disgusting experience that I never wanted anything to do with, but Selene needed us here to save the Celestials. I would not lie and say that torturing everyone with the fact that my darling mate’s body belonged only to me did nothing for me. It was the ultimate power trip, and she enjoyed being played with just as much as I enjoyed doing the playing. My appreciation went out to the vamps who came to these parties to save the humans. It was not easy to pretend that there was an appeal in everything. It took nerves and stomachs of steel. ‘I’m going to be sick,’ Elle grumbled the moment that we entered the feeding room. We were escorted to a raised platform where we could look out over the entire room. The room was filled with the scent of blood. The sounds of feeding and fucking echoed from around the room. The vampires who were here for the
ELLE Caiathus used his magic to artificially clothe our new friends, treating them with the dignity that they deserved until they had their own clothing on. Everyone looked completely overwhelmed, and nobody could fault them for that. We had not a clue what all they had been through, and that fact truly saddened me to think about. They went through a horrible trauma tonight. I knelt down in front of the younger ones who had all banded together and took Penny’s hands before looking at each of them. “You’re safe here. Some of our good friends go around to different feeding rooms to rescue as many people as they can just like we did tonight. I promise you that nobody can harm you now. We want to bring you all some clothes, and then we can get you some food. Okay?” I asked, looking around at everyone. Penny threw her arms around me, clinging onto me for dear life. My arms wrapped around her, and I held onto her while she cried. There was no doubt in my mind that these people were surv
ELLE “To what do I owe the pleasure of this call?” I asked Dante. I smiled down at my mate who was telling the twins about his day so far. It warmed my heart to see him bonding with our pups already. I did the same thing, as did Faye, and Tyre. The four of us were extremely excited about this new development. “Can’t I just call to fucking show my motherfucking appreciation of my epic sister?” Dante deadpanned. “You can, but I know you well enough to hear the stress in your voice. So, tell your epic sister what’s going on.” I smirked as Kade switched from telling them about his day to telling them how feisty I was and how it was one of his favorite qualities of mine. I bit my lip to stop me from laughing. There were many qualities that I knew he loved, but those were not very appropriate to share with our offspring. Those would definitely stay between us. “The Eyes have enlisted the aid of a powerful witch to locate her. Luckily, we were all together when the spell was cast, and
ELLE I fell asleep in my mate’s arms just like I did every night. The last thing that I always remembered was being encased in arms that were my home, my safe place. However, this time I did not wake up in his arms. I woke up in Selene’s realm. It was still home for my soul and definitely my soul’s safe place. It was my soul that recognized the bond to this realm, the bond within who I was. Sparks danced along my arms as Kade wrapped his around me, pulling my body firmly against his. “If it is not my favorite mateship, pairing, and family,” Selene’s voice floated along the wind. She looked exactly like she did the last time we were here while at the Blue Crest hospital. The difference was the crimson draped dress that she wore. If we were being honest, she could wear a brown paper bag and still make it look good somehow. “It’s so good to see you,” I told her. “Yes. It definitely is,” Kade added. She chuckled softly before embracing us individually. Her hugs always energized my
KADE I held her hair back while she was sick to her stomach. I hated that this was part of her pregnancy. There was little I could do other than take care of her in other ways. This included daily massages, food craving runs, and whatever else her precious heart desired. I handed her a wet washcloth when she was done. She then brushed her teeth before turning to me. “You don’t have to be in here when I’m sick, baby. It can’t be pleasant for you,” she said, wrinkling her nose in the most adorable way. My arms wrapped around her body and pulled hers into mine. I nuzzled her neck before placing a kiss on my mark. “I appreciate that, but I would rather be nowhere else. You’re going through this because our pups are growing inside of your womb. I’ll be here to support you in every single way that I can because you’re doing an amazing thing for us.” She pressed herself into me, resting her head on my chest. I had never felt as content in my entire life as I did with her in my arms. El
ELLE “It is not an issue per say,” Valis hedged. “It just requires precautionary measures.” I pinched the bridge of my nose in order to keep my head on straight. Valis requested a meeting with us regarding the feeding room fireworks. He had not given us any additional information until he got in front of us. Kade had me sitting on his lap which was the best seat in the house. Our leadership was also here. I had to give props to our Lamias because those three had taken to their roles right away and had the mindsets to help our pack flourish. They also helped take over some of the duties that revolved around ensuring that our pack members were doing good. The three of them even took it upon themselves to help out with the orphans a little bit each day. “Perhaps you could elaborate on that,” I suggested gently. Valis had become very close to our pack. His coven did so many great things for vampires and non-vampires alike. He was an honorable man that we were blessed to know. “Celes
