There will be more creative interrogations to come. Who would you like to see interrogate someone?
KADE I held my mate while guilt drowned her. She felt responsible for these packs targeting Nightshade, but it was not her fault. I wished that she could see that, but all she saw was the connection. I hated that she felt guilty, but all I could do was hold her and comfort her. The Council were on their way over here since we went over there last time. They did, however, ask if it would be possible to use a portal to save time, so that was why Lindsey was pulled into the conference room at this goddess-forsaken hour. Her sister had done it yesterday, but she refused Dante’s early morning call. Elle set our coffees down, so I pulled her onto my lap. It was exactly where I loved for her to sit, and I knew she loved it too even if she always acted like she did not. Her lust always sold her out. “Thanks, darling. It’ll be almost as sweet as you,” I whispered into the shell of her ear, kissing behind it. “I will literally fucking puke if you keep that mushy shit up,” Dante said until E
ELLE “Something smells good,” Kade said as he closed the door behind him. I wanted to make something special for tonight just for the two of us. We spent most of our days taking care of the pack, and we loved it very much. Our pack was flourishing, so we did everything we could to help out. However, we also liked to have time alone just for the two of us once in a while. It was hard to decide what to make, but I settled on Beef Stroganoff, garlic bread, salad, and something very special for dessert. “Me too. It just walked in.” I tossed him a flirty wink. He walked up behind me, running his hands over my waist, and sliding his nose along my neck to inhale deeply. “Nope. It was already in here,” he argued. He kissed my neck before leaning against the counter. Happiness radiated from him and brightened his eyes. He always looked at me like I was the most precious thing in this world, and it overwhelmed me because of the raw sincerity of it. “How did your day go?” I asked him as
KADE We were beginning to get spoiled with the use of portals. It was such a convenient way to travel. It would not be a good idea to use them when just going to someone’s pack that did not already know about us, but they were very useful right now. It allowed us to get to the location long before the others arrived so that we could set everything up. The plan was fairly creative because my mate loved messing with people. Caiathus would glamour me to look like Elle and her to look like Andrew because she knew how to impersonate him. I was not thrilled for her to look like him, but Caiathus said that he could alter it to where our people saw our normal forms while the others did not. Once they made their intent known and spilled all their secrets, a few vampires and Fyst would ensure that they were properly detained. It was a safe bet that they would be bringing their own security, so we had five vampires, a dragon, the Council, and our leadership that had been in the meeting. ‘Why
KADE She smirked at me, running her tongue over her bottom lip as she bit it. Her eyes swept over me from top to bottom. ‘Struggle to make it realistic,’ she murmured to me. Her hand wrapped around my neck and tilted it to the side. Her nose ran alongside my neck before her hand wrapped around it. I struggled just like she wanted, and the assholes were eating it up. Sick fucks. Her other hand grabbed what would be her chest and squeezed, so I took her cue and growled at her, trying to wrench my body away, but Dante held me firmly. “So defenseless. At my mercy. I could do whatever I wanted to you, and nobody would stop me. I never took you before because I was getting premium incentives from all of your precious admirers to hold off on touching you. There’s no reason why I can’t indulge for once.” Her hand teased the edge of my dress, pulling it up just a smidgen to catch people’s attention. They were all glued to her movements, and I caught on to what she was doing. Her hand dipp
ELLE Today would be very interesting. Valis arranged a tour of his coven for us so that we could meet some of the humans who were considering leaving the coven. Dante, Chris, Lindsey, and Diego came along with Kade and I. Others wanted to tag along, but we did not want to overwhelm anyone. We would be working closely with Valis’ coven, so there would be future opportunities. I was not certain what to expect because the only references I had about vampire habitats were from horrendous Hollywood films. I was sadly mistaken when Valis led us through an average town. There were shops, restaurants, a hospital, a school, and beautifully constructed houses. “The Czarcu Coven is home to roughly three hundred vampires, both born and turned, and right over two hundred humans,” Valis told us. “How often do more humans come here?” I asked curiously. Two children were chasing a ball down the sidewalk and were not paying attention to where they were going and toppled into Valis. “Sorry, sir,”
ELLE The humans from the coven came for a tour of Nightshade. They had been a little hesitant because they were worried about not being accepted because they were human. So, we made sure to bring the human mates that were in our pack to greet everyone. They were surprised with how welcoming our people were. It moved them that this pack was a sanctuary pack. Not everyone had a happy beginning, but they were able to write their own ending here. The construction was going very well. Glenn’s company had already put up thirteen single family homes as well as communal housing which was like a smaller packhouse. They had plans to develop the entire northside into residential units. The craftsmanship was perfect, and I knew the families would love them. “As you can see, this pack is more than just shifters. We have frequent visits from vampires, Fae, and even a dragon or two. We don’t care about species because all that matters is the person,” I told them as we continued our tour. Everyon
KADE We still had thirty minutes before we had to wake up which gave me thirty minutes to worship my goddess of a mate. Faye removed the block three days ago, and all I could think about was my mate’s stomach swollen with our pup. I knew it was something she wanted too. There had been a deep longing and need every time she encountered babies and young pups. At least we were on the same page. We had taken to sleeping without clothes per her request, but you definitely would not see me complaining one bit. The sheet had fallen off her while she slept on her back, so I carefully maneuvered until I was eye-level with her delicious pussy. My hands gently spread her thighs outwards, opening her up to me. She was still asleep, so there was no better wakeup call than this. My thumbs spread her lips, and I marveled at how one person could be so fucking perfect. I dove into my favorite breakfast as if I had never eaten before in my entire life. My tongue lapped at her arousal before suckin
ELLE They brought us into a small auditorium since we had so many people with us. This looked like it was one used for learning because the seats had little writing surfaces on them. Others used it for their coffees, but I had a different purpose. I set my coffee on the floor and pulled out a notebook and pen. I wanted to make sure I jotted down anything that was important. Dante chuckled, and I looked next to me and saw that he did the same. We smirked at each other. “It’s hilarious how similar you two are and were barely raised around each other,” Kade said. He was not kidding either. There were many quirks and preferences that we both had. Take reading for example. We dogeared the page on the bottom corner instead of top. Always put our left sock on first. Only just enough milk to wet cereal but not drench it. Preferred white chocolate over any other kind. “Greatness calls to greatness, Kade. Learn it. Live it. Believe it. They fucking called us twins for a reason,” Dante said
