Chapter 7 Meeting the King "As I hear the news that Kie's father's private jet has landed, my nerves begin to flutter like a bird's wings. I'm upstairs, and after a hot shower, wrapped in a towel, frantically searching for the perfect outfit to meet a king. My closet seems to mock me, offering nothing but dull options. I couldn't bring myself to part with my mom's clothes, still treasured after the funeral. So, I venture into her closet, and my eyes land on a showstopper - a stunning black gown adorned with what appears to be diamonds, designed to accentuate my curves. Next, I tackle my hair, waving my wand in a flurry of motion, trying out different styles before settling on a messy, pulled-back look that frames my face. A swipe of kiss-me pink lip gloss and a dash of mascara to define my lashes, and I'm transformed - fit for a king!" *Niklaus*" Sam pulls up next to his plane and waits for him to exit and when he does he hugs his Uncle for a long time, Then heads to the limo ride t
Chapter 8 Where are you? Lyra's screams were drowned out by the sirens and chaos around her. She stumbled through the smoke-filled air, desperately searching for Brent. She called out his name again and again, but there was only silence. As she stumbled through the wreckage, she saw Kie, his face covered in soot, rushing towards her. "Lyra, oh my god, I'm so glad you're alive!" he exclaimed, embracing her tightly. "Where's Brent?" she demanded, her voice shaking. Kie's expression turned somber. "I don't know, Lyra. Raven and I were trying to get you both out when the explosion happened. I didn't see him after that. I saw them and came running, "Oh my god you're ok!" she hugged her as she started to cry, "I can't find Brent." she said as her world went dark again, and she felt herself being lifted off the ground. When she came to, she was in a hospital bed, surrounded by Lucas, Kie, Raven, and Sam. But Brent was nowhere to be found. The authorities told them that the club had been

Shade's obsession with Raven's beauty and power is legendary, and he'll stop at nothing to possess her. As Lyra, Kie, Raven, Lucas, Jameson, Sam, and Asher approach Shades underground bunkers, they can feel the darkness emanating from within. But there are little to no guards outside. .

Chapter 10 Passionate Lovers The next day... Kie waits to hear back from Sam and Asher. I walk in and fill him in, "Brent is out of the hospital and completely healed." "What is this Doctor's name that is working with all species? She seems amazing." he hugs me and gives me a tender kisses. " Well, my lover boy, I giggle, " Her name is Dr. Brooks and she is a specialist in Non-Human Patients." Just as he was about to take me to bed and ravish me. His phone rings... "Sam, what's going on? Did you get them? " Yes Sir, we got them all, where do you want us to bring them?" bring them here, to the Towers, Raven and I are on our way now." he motions for me to call for his other limo. " We will meet you all there in the lobby." Sam had called for fourteen more limos to bring them all to their new homes at the Towers. Some needed medical care, and others were very weak from not eating well. Some of the adults were blinded by the light, Dr Brook had given them the serum so that they could
Chapter 11 The House of Maya Sunrise Kie strides into his office, his confident gait and piercing gaze commanding attention and the smile on his face says last night was very pleasing. Sam, his trusted advisor, awaits him with a grin. "Kie, the Vampire Council has reached out to you," Sam announces, his voice low and serious. "They wish to discuss the recent... developments." Kie's lips curve into a sly smile. "Ah, yes. I've been expecting their call. Shade's defeat and subsequent hiding have left a power vacuum, and they need a new king to maintain order." Sam nods, his eyes gleaming with pride. "And they believe you're the ideal candidate, Kie. Your father will be very proud of your accomplishments." Kie's smile widens. "Indeed. I've surpassed even his expectations. Defeating Shade and shattering his hold on the kingdom was just the beginning. Now, it's time for me to take my rightful place as the new Vampire King of this area." He stares out the high-rise window of his office s
Chapter 12 Wedding Plans Two years have passed since Kieran became King. Much has changed He is loved by all, and I am now accepted as his consort. Lyra and Brent's union was accepted also after a heated debate. They agreed that Dr Brooks, who was admired among the vampires, would oversee any developments. With all that in place, Kie was ready.. He casually informs me that it's his birthday and that Lyra has arranged a formal gathering for tonight. "Now why didn't I know this was your birthday?" I questioned annoyed. " Well my dear, you never asked." "I have to go shopping," I said on my way out the door. "See you tonight love." he waves as he continues with his paperwork. After I'm gone, Kie calls Lyra to make sure everything is ready. She says that they are almost done and that it will all be ready on time. "Happy birthday, Kie!" she added with a smile.*Niklaus*Niklaus hears the news and with great sadness, he wonders how he'll ever have his mate now! She doesn't even know th
Chapter 13 Wedding day Shade saw how easy it was to get into the tower, but when he saw all of the Vampire council there and that NiKlaus might be here soon, he decided to wait a little longer to put his plan into action and left the area. He had been thinking about her past he knew who her real parents were. She's not just a Witch she comes from a long line of Shamans, She's a full-blood Apache who he has stolen with her older brother when they were just toddlers. No one is aware of who took them, they ended up in an orphanage because he hates children. It's believed that their parent Rose StormCloud had angered a neighboring tribal shaman and he took them. He had located her aging mother and had been watching her closely. Mrs. Rose StormCloud knew the demon man was out there but didn't know why. She asked Chief EagleWings to do a sweat-lodge for answers and in her vision, she saw her babies growing up together in a strange house. Her heart cried with joy that they were alive. Then
Chapter 14 A Mother's Journey Three months later.. Rose and Alma arrive on the bus into the Historic city of New Orleans. The air is sweet with a hint of magic the city is known for. They gather their bags and wave down a taxi to their rooms, which the tribal elders had booked in advance. "Do you think they even know that they were adopted?" Rose asked Alma as they entered their room. "I'm sure they do, my grandson looked up King Kieran and found out the name of his bride, he found out that she was adopted at a young age, with her brother. They both stayed together throughout the whole time. He even found a picture of them on the internet." she took it out of her purse and handed it to Rose as they sat on their beds. "She looks just like you when we were young," she said. Rose couldn't take her eyes off of the picture of me and Lucas when we were about six years old. We were holding hands and smiling, Rose had tears streaming down her face. "It's gonna be ok sis, We're going to sa
