We’ve been in the meeting for over an hour and Ali shows no signs of stopping. She wants to know every detail about every business the bravata has dealings with. As the meeting goes on I’m impressed with her more and more, her attention to detail is on point. She’s firm and unyielding when she wants an answer or an explanation. I’m impressed to say the least.
When we first entered her father‘s office I was floored by her beauty. She was sitting behind the desk with her hair up in its usual bun accentuating her long gorgeous neck. Flashes of her beautiful blonde hair wrapped around my hands, neck pulled back as I thrusted in her flash across my mind. Soon the thoughts of her wet, tight pussy clenching my cock pop in my mind making me instantly hard. Shit. I adjust myself quickly before anyone sees and try to focus on the conversation.I look up and see Ali is now standing with both hands pressed against the desk leaning forward with a lookSoon after the meeting finally ends with us agreeing to reconvene tomorrow morning so we can discuss Vex and how he is involved in all of this. Dinner is going to be served in a few hours so I decide I might as well get started on my assignment. I begin to walk the grounds checking the security detail and quickly find many security gaps that we need to address quickly. I am surprised by how many there actually are, especially since Gin’s father was in charge of security. Only one guard at each entrance, the cameras that I’ve checked have all been disabled, and I can only imagine the last time the property was swept for bugs. No wonder he was poisoned. The security needs to be updated as soon as possible. I’m making a mental note to address it in the meeting tomorrow as I see Ali walking along the edge of the pond a few feet in front of me. I look around to see if she has a guard with her and when I realize she doesn’t my angst starts to b
Soon we all go our separate ways and I get a notification that the burial ceremony will be held this evening at seven giving me three hours to finish up my initial inspection of security and the warriors. I make a plan and before I know it the hidden cameras have been put up, I have a good size list of warriors that are beholden to Ali and her father. However, what has me concerned is the ones who are more loyal to Alister than the Bravada itself. I am pondering this as I walk toward the onsite graveyard. “You are thinking very hard.” I hear Gin say as he walks next to me. “Security check has been done. I have cameras in places only Ali, you and I know about and have access too. I have made a list of loyal warriors as well. They will meet us in the training room tomorrow morning.” “Well, it seems like it is all falling in line, what is with the worry all over your face?” “Allister.” “My father? What about him?” I hesitate f
It has been two days, and all has been quiet for the most part. Xei and I have been training the recruits and I am pleased that we have such strong soldiers. I was surprised that Frankie was tucked away as a doorman since he is an exceptional fighter, and his power of foresight gives him an advantage in battle unlike any I have seen. I can’t believe my father never recruited him for the warriors. However, if what Xei had mentioned was true I guess it would be best to keep the good fighters out of the way. Ali has been hidden away in her father’s office for most of the time. We only really see her at dinner when she gives us a breakdown of what we need to know, and we do the same for her. My nerves are beginning to fray not knowing exactly where all of us stand. I know she has decided to keep us both but that is about all we know. The ties are not secure which means her powers are not as strong as they could be. That worries me with the upcoming battles. Not to mention my
The stage has been set for a high-stakes encounter, a game of shadows, and a web of deceit that had woven its way through the ranks of the Bravata syndicate. The Nesting Club is serving as the backdrop for this carefully orchestrated plan to expose Venera's treachery.Ali, now hailed as the new Bravata Queen, has taken calculated steps to lure Venera into the open. Under the guise of relinquishing control of The Nesting Box Club to the enigmatic Venera, she has arranged a meeting between them. It was an offer that no one in the criminal underworld could resist—the keys to an empire disguised as a mere nightclub.I watch the clock as it ticks toward the appointed hour, Ali, adorned in an elegant evening gown, stood at the entrance of The Nesting Box Club, exuding an air of regal authority. Her loyal team members, handpicked for their unwavering loyalty, were strategically positioned throughout the club.I stand nearby, scanning the room for any signs of Venera's arrival. Xei remains
As I watch the clean up crew pick up the carnage left from this night I stand at the bar, exhausted and ready for the night to end when I see Gin helping his father patch up the gunshot wound that saved son's life. I have agreed to marry him however I can't seem to get past a personal concern that has haunted me for years.I can’t help but remember the pain I had felt when he had left me without a word all those years ago. It has been a betrayal that has cut deep, a wound that has festered in my soul.I searched for him in the darkest corners of our world, driven by a desperate need to understand why he had abandoned me. Those relentless pursuits had led me down treacherous paths, exposed me to dangerous individuals, and ultimately resulted in the life-altering attack that had left me part vampire. The memory of his absence, the unanswered questions, and the emotional scars I have carried with me are like ghosts from the past.However, I am also acutely aware of the transformative
I sigh, as my frustration gives way to concern. "It means that we're now connected on a level that goes beyond anything you've ever experienced. Our souls are bound together, and our emotions, our thoughts, they're intertwined. You'll feel what I feel, and I'll feel what you feel. It's a bond that can't be broken."Xei's eyes soften, and he moves closer to me, taking my hands in his. "I know, Ali," he says gently, "but it's not something we can change now. It's a part of who we are, a connection that's forged between mates. And I want you to understand that I don't regret it. I don't regret sharing my blood with you."I search his eyes, knowing that my own is filled with uncertainty. "But why, Xei? Why would you do something so significant without my consent?”Xei's gaze held my own, unwavering. "Because I love you, Ali," he says simply. "And I couldn't stand the thought of you in pain, of you suffering. I couldn't let you go through that alone. I know you may not feel the same way,
I watch as Ali lay asleep. When a vampire starves themselves their body starts to slow down and the frenzy begins. Luckily her phoenix blood is strong and was able to slow down the process. Rest is what she needs now. I have already contacted my sources and reached out to have deliveries of blood sent down. Gin was pissed and I can’t blame him. She has been putting too much on herself and never taking a break. As I watch her sleep my mind wanders. I have always been a solitary creature, my existence marked by the cold embrace of the shadows and the whispers of ancient secrets. For centuries, I have roamed the night, untethered by the bonds of family or clan. Birsha is the closest and only bond that I have allowed to breach my walls. But now, everything has changed. My encounter with Ali, Gin has shattered the walls I have built around my heart, and I find myself inextricably drawn into their worldThe concept of a mating bond is a foreign one to me, a relic of ancient traditions that
The sun hangs low in the sky as I stand at the head of the training grounds, a vast expanse of open terrain dotted with makeshift obstacles and targets. My gaze sweeps over the assembled Bravata soldiers, their faces a mix of determination and weariness. Training had been relentless, as it always is, for the Bravata never wavered in their pursuit of excellence. They were the elite, the defenders of their realm, and they trained as such.I have assumed the role of their instructor, a duty I take seriously. My reputation as a fierce warrior and a master of various combat disciplines precedes me, and the soldiers look up to me with a mix of respect and apprehension. I have trained many in the past, molding them into formidable fighters. But in this batch, there is one soldier who has caught my attention—Zion.Zion is a quiet and enigmatic figure among the Bravata ranks. His jet-black hair frames a face that seems perpetually shrouded in shadows. He seldom speaks, and when he does, it is
The training command center of Bravata stands as a bastion of preparation and resilience. It is here that we gather, Ali, Gin, and I, along with Gin's father, Alister, a seasoned warrior and strategist who had witnessed the ever-changing tides of the Bravata. Our meeting is shrouded in secrecy, as we delve into the intricate and perilous task of capturing and neutralizing Ren.The room is awash in the glow of dimmed lanterns, casting flickering shadows that dance upon the stone walls. The map of Bravata and its surrounding lands lay spread out on a large oak table, marked with pins and notes that signify the movements and alliances of our enemies.Ali's eyes are filled with determination, her features illuminated by the soft light, and Gin, holds an air of calm authority. Alister, with his weathered visage and a keen mind forged through years of experience, offers a sense of wisdom and stability.As I take a seat at the table, my mind is focused on the task at hand. We have decided to
I sit alone, the flickering candlelight casting dancing shadows on the walls of the library that has become my home away from home lately. The events of recent times weighs heavily on my mind, and I find myself in a state of introspection, trying to reconcile my feelings and thoughts about all that had transpired.The troubles of our world have grown, and the challenges we face seem insurmountable at times. The revelations of betrayal and hidden alliances as well as death have shaken the foundation of trust upon which the Bravata. I have always prided myself on being a protector and a confidant, but recent events have made me question the very essence of our reality.I think back to the moment we had uncovered the truth about Zion's loyalty to Ren, about his role in the schemes that had endangered Bravata. It had been a revelation that had left a bitter taste in my mouth, a sense of betrayal that I couldn't easily shake.Zion has been a trusted comrade in arms, and the realization th
Just as Xei is about to leave, another knock comes from the door. "Come on in, Ali," I say, my voice warm and inviting, loud enough for her to hear as Xei and I exchanged a knowing grin. Ali enters the room, dressed in a soft, flowing nightgown that clings to her like moonlight on silk. It is an unusual sight to see her with her hair down, the blonde waves cascading over her shoulders, framing her delicate features.I can’t help but think to myself how incredibly alluring she looked, her long, firm legs moving gracefully beneath the white silk, the pale skin of her shoulders and arms kissed by the flickering candlelight. She had an air of sensuality that was impossible to ignore."I thought we could use some relaxation," Ali says, a mischievous glint in her eyes as she lifts a bottle of liquor and gives it a soft shake. A smile plays on her lips, one that holds a promise of shared moments, of leaving the burdens of our world behind.Xei, ever the pragmatist, is quick to express his a
As I lay in my chambers, the guilt still a heavy burden, I make a silent promise to myself. I will do whatever it takes to protect her, Xei and the kingdom we both loved. The past could not be undone, but the future is a blank canvas, waiting for the brushstrokes of redemption and hope.A knock comes from my door and I know it is Xei who was behind the door waiting to offer his personal guidance that even though I didn’t want I know I desperately need it. I sigh as I open the door to my new found brother and bond mate. It's crazy how he has become a steady presence in my life. His wisdom and insight were qualities I have come to rely on, and I know that I could turn to him in my moments of doubt and despair. As I go and sit in a dimly lit corner of my room, the flickering candlelight casting dancing shadows on the walls, Xei enters with a force that was uniquely his own. His eyes, filled with understanding and compassion, meet mine, and it was as if he could sense the turmoil that c
The weight of guilt has always been a heavy burden, one I have carried with me since the moment I left Ali. It was a decision forced upon me by my father and hers, a decision rooted in the fear of a love that was deemed forbidden. And yet, that love had blossomed between us, fierce and undeniable.Alone in the quiet solitude of my room, the memories of the past came rushing back, haunting me like specters in the night. The echoes of the past are inescapable, and they claw at my heart, threatening to consume me.I have known Ali since we were children, growing up in the world of privilege and expectations that came with being the children of influential leaders. From the moment our eyes had first met, there had been an unspoken connection, a bond that transcended the boundaries set by our parents and even fate. Love had flourished, and we had been drawn to each other like moths to a flame. The connection was deeper than just the imani bond.But our love had been forbidden, a sin in the
As we enter the basement Zion greets us with a nod.The atmosphere is charged with uncertainty. His expression was a mix of apprehension and determination. He may not know what exactly is going on but he is on edge. "Zion," I begin, my voice steady and firm, “sit.” I say gesturing towards the table. He stiffens and I can see in his eyes he has realized he is not here for what he thought. “What is this about?” He says and adjusts himself and I can see he is putting on a calm mask. “I wanted to speak with you about a few things. We have been keeping an eye on you and I have to say you are an amazing fighter.” I say as I take the seat in front of him and Xei and Gin stand behind me on either side. “While your fighting skills are impressive it got me thinking about where you came from. You seemed to have popped up from no where.” He was about to speak before I put up my hand to stop him.“Don’t say anhything just yet. I like to think I am an honest and fair person so before you say an
“Well it’s about damn time.” I hear Gin say as I start to wake up. I look up to see Gin sitting at the chair he was at the last time I saw him. Xei is still laying under my head with a grin on his face. “You both are exhausting.” I say and roll my eyes and start to get up and Xei squeezes me tighter before placing a kiss on my neck and releasing me. “Did you find anything out or did you both just party while I was working?” Gin says chuckling like finding us like this is humorous to him. “We actually did.” I say as I quickly put on my clothes. I look at Xei and see he is taking his sweet time. I pick up his shirt and throw it at him, “Can you hurry up you big Oaf.” I say and Xei cuckles mumbling that some things won’t ever change. I led him to the secluded corner of the library, where we were originally going over the scrolls and albums. I hand him the documents and watch as he pursues the contents, his eyes scanning the intricate details that paint a picture of Ren's past and th
“This is crazy.” I say as I push the book I'm looking at away from me and lean back in my chair. “I honestly don’t know how much more I can take Xei.” I whisper and I lower my head. Xei walks around me and starts to rub my shoulders and I release a soft moan as he rubs harder making me instantly wet. Now is not the time, I tell myself. However as he continues to rub down my arms I lean my head back and allow his touch to light the fire within me. “That feels so good.” I moan softly.“Stand up Ali.” He says and I do without hesitation. “You are extremely tense. Let me help.” He whispers and leads me to the soft bearskin rug in front of the fireplace and starts to unbutton my white blouse slowly. I undo her trousers and let them fall to the floor. He watches me as I lay down on my back and spread my legs giving him a full view of my black lacy bra with matching thongs.He starts with my feet and slowly massages my heels, making his way to the middle. I can’t help the giggle that com
As I enter the library, the scent of old books and the hushed atmosphere that filled the room seems to offer solace and focus. The shelves are lined with tomes that hold the wisdom of generations, and I know that we need that wisdom now more than ever.Gin and Xei arrive shortly after I do, their expressions a mix of concern and determination. “ We got your message Xei, what is so urgent?” Ali asks. “The information we have uncovered has left us with a conundrum. What do we do about Zion? We have had men on him since I first got the feeling something was off and we haven’t heard anything out of the ordinary. However with the new information, how do we navigate the complex web of loyalties, secrets, and alliances that surrounded him? It is a decision that I don’t think we can delay in addressing it any longer. The longer we allow Zion to stay within our ranks the more intel he is able to pass on to Vex.” I say and I hear the worry in my own voice. The training field was a place wher
