Thank you all for reading my book, hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing about our sassy vampire Princess. :) MM xx
Alpha Maddox Last night I spent some time with Atlas, my Beta is smitten with his little Mate. He had explained how she was injured and mentally shaken. He was taking things slowly and even though they had marked each other they hadn't actually slept together.He was totally fine with it and I could see the worry in his eyes, he said he missed her giggling personality. She looked at him with so much love, and watched my big lug of a Beta be attentive to his tiny Mate. Lyra has been working non stop for the past couple of hours, she has been in contact with some associates in the states to get back up if needed. My woman is unbelievable, she has her fingers in so many pies. We leave in an hour. Kammi has the Jet ready, Carlos and Masimo have been loading the Jet with what I assume is Lyra’s toys. I wish I could be more helpful, but the best I could do is offer the hotel’s penthouse. I had bought the Hotel two years ago off the Alpha to another pack who hit some money problems. In fa
LyraThe only way to protect the people I love is to hand myself over. I keep this part of my plan to myself, Maddox wouldn’t allow me to do this but I'll do what needs to be done then return. Personally asking forgiveness is better than asking permission, that's just not in me, not even for Maddox.I can't believe they burnt down Jareds bar, everytime i think about poor Jared I feel so guilty. He was the first person who made me feel welcome in that country, I always looked forward to seeing him. I sigh and snuggle down into Maddox, curled up in a ball on his lap as he draws small circles on my hip with his large hands. I can feel he is trying to keep his frustration under control, and I appreciate it more than he will ever know. I just need time to think before we land, having contact with my tie always helps me to relax. I know i am being selfish but i can't have anyone harmed due to me being stubborn.As I think that I catch Kalsea’s eye she is snuggled up to Atlas, she looks so s
Lyra We arrived in the states late yesterday, Maddox and his men left to deal with some stuff to do with their pack. I am now waiting for his return so we can go visit Jared in the hospital. Kalsea has asked if she can accompany us to see if she can help.Atlas wasn't happy at first. He is even more protective than my Alpha, but I guess they know I can take care of myself. I heard Kalsea and Atlas having a small argument last night, from what I could understand she wants to take it to the next level with her Tie, and Atlas is terrified of hurting her.I had told Maddox, he is going to speak to him in private. Demitri is like a cat that has gotten the cream. The passion and love you see when he looks at Dollar makes me smile. My best friend has been a man whore for about ninety years. Dollar is perfect for him and I am glad they have each other. Carlos has been watching me closely, I know he knows something is up, he has been by my side for a long time. As I prepare my mind for what I
LyraI can't take my eyes off the man lying in the bed, he seems smaller, more fragile than I remember. I reach out and take his hand, the warmth makes me smile. I want to tell him I'm sorry, that this is all my fault. I already had Luca transfer the money into Jareds bank, I know it won't change anything.I can hear them talking, Kalsea and the other doctor but I can't drag my eyes away from the man in the bed. Most of his left side is bandaged up, his chest rises and falls, the tube down his throat keeping him alive. Guilt, it's another emotion that feels alien to me, I wish I could shut all these feelings off.Maddox, that’s who started this shit, slowly cracking the walls I have kept in place for almost one hundred years. Now with all these strange emotions swirling around inside me, my want to protect the people close to me and now all these wolves I haven even met, his pack. I am drowning in all these thoughts.“Boss, are you ok?” Carlos asks as he steps up beside me, keeping hi
Maddox‘Maddox, the doctor is being controlled. Look at his wrist.’ Lyra mind-links me, looking at his wrist I noticed what looks like a black festering wound. Fuck! What the fuck is this now?“Drop him Atlas, he is not of his own mind” My Beta frowns at me, but drops the now coughing and spluttering doctor to the ground. Kneeling down beside him Lyra lifts the sleeve of his white doctor's jacket. She hisses in anger as she stands back up.“It’s Vlad’s, I can smell his scent on it. But if has gotten to the doctor god knows who else he has got to” Lyra says looking like she's ready to explode. “What is a master's mark?” I ask her as she stands back to my side. I turn to talk to Atlas, he and Kalsea are already by Jared’s bed. Kalsea is removing all drips and bandages. “I need someone who you trust to help me” She says to no one in particular. “I can help you” A shy looking Brandy steps forward. I am sure there is more to their relationship, I see how she looks at him.I can feel somet
LyraSometimes I could kick myself, why would I offer to host the meal? Oh yeah, keep them on our turf. Maddox is pacing like a caged animal he is so nervous, its driving me fucking nuts. You would think he was meeting my parents, not his own.Atlas and Kalsea have been back from the hospital about an hour, they will be attending the dinner as will Dollar and Demitri. The rest of the men will be working, Carlos has volunteered with two of Maddox men to guard Jared and Brandy who has refused to leave his side. Last night Maddox had them put into the private wing of the hospital for protection. Luca has set up CCTV and reprogrammed the hand scanner to the private wing so we know anyone coming or going. I had them put a cot in for Brandy so she can hopefully get some rest.I looked over the table the maid had set. It was simple but elegant, not too fancy. The Omega that Maddox has working tonight is a friendly little thing who is very curious about us being vampires and keeps following M
LyraLilly had put an extra place setting at the table by the time we all entered. Willow, Atlas’s mother had not let my hand go all the way to the dining room, she gave my hand a gentle squeeze and I don't know why but that small act of kindness gave me strength i needed.Maddox’s hand never leaves the small of my back, I can feel him pouring love down through our bond. Dollar gives both sets of parents a hug and introduces them to his mate. Atlas’s parents are just as loving and warm towards Demitri, this I am glad of. Dollar goes to sit at the other side of Maddox as he was meant to, but the female beats him to it. He goes to protest but I catch his eye and shake my head just a little telling him it was fine. What the silly girl didn't realise was that she just sat beside my best friend, and Demitri didn't play when it came to me.This bitch is really trying my patience, and she has no idea what she is getting herself into when it comes to me. Kalsea sits to my left, giving me comf
Lyra There are no words to describe how I feel right now. I wish I could but I can't drag my eyes away from the sight in front of me. On the cold metal table of the coroner lies the beaten, abused and drained body of the little omega who has been working in the penthouse.Four days ago Lilly was reported missing by her mother and older sister. She didn't even have her wolf yet so no mind-link. I have killed many, and felt nothing but right now looking at her all I can feel is guilt. If one more person tells me it's not my fault they will be joining Lilly in the afterlife.The border patrol found her at one of the pack gates, she was dumped like trash. It’s the look in her eyes that is haunting me, she suffered more than anyone should. Lilly was innocent, she never hurt anyone. She had been following Masimo around like a love sick puppy. If Carlos had allowed me to leave a week ago this would never have happened. This is not his fault, no this is all on me. She was a curious little th
LyraStepping off the jet in Russia felt bittersweet, good to be back in the homeland but it no longer felt like home. Aleksei’s first trip to Russia and I know how excited the elders are to meet the future king. Something I have made clear can and will only be happening if my son wishes to take the title. Carlos steps off behind me, proudly holding Aleksei. Two days ago at our ceremony Maddox and I had announced that Carlos was appointed our sons personal guard. *Flashback*I smile at my Alpha as he takes the podium, we had a surprise announcement for the pack. “I know we all want to get on with the celebration, but I have a very important thing to do as one of our pack” Everyone goes quiet with just the slight murmur of those trying to guess what is going on. “My Luna and I have been going over this since our pup was born and we are excited to announce that we have appointed a personal guard for the future heir of the Red Mountain Pack” Maddox looks over at me and holds his hand o
LyraI stand in front of the full length mirror just staring at myself, my mind plays over the last year and the time with Maddox. From the fact we both were determined not to accept each other to being completely obsessed with each other to having our son. Our son, he is perfect from his chubby little cheeks to his big red eyes.Willow took both Aleksei and Kameal out for a walk while I got ready. Today is my Luna ceremony and I can't wait to officially be the Luna. I know it’s just formalities as I already do everything a Luna should. If you asked me a year ago if I would be leading my people I would have laughed. I have never wanted to rule, not to mention lead a pack of wolves but here we are and I would be lying if I said this isn’t where I belong. These people have shown me more love and acceptance than even my own parents. Willow treats us all the same; she has become the mother we never realised we needed. She would have made an amazing Luna, even though she says she is happy
MaddoxLyra has been running on low for a couple of weeks now, she won’t allow anyone except us to watch Aleksei. His aura is extremely strong and can easily affect anyone within his vicinity, especially if he is upset at the time. I am just glad the pup is quite a happy little thing, or we would all be in for a rough ride. I can't help but laugh at this thought. I hope Lyra manages to relax for a while. She really is an amazing Luna, even though she is exhausted she never turns away anyone who needs her, or even just a person to listen to them. Willow has been showing both Lyra and the Doc what their duties are and how the pack has been getting run. Of course Lyra and I have already started to change things especially when it comes to those in charge. The thing with my Queen is she is as deadly as they come but her heart is huge and she feels every single person's emotions. This is exactly why the situation with the Omegas really affected her so much that she sank so much of her mo
LyraAleksei is four months old. I swear he is the best baby, he never cries. Watching Maddox with him makes my heart swell with love. The little King is obsessed with Chaos, as soon as his Father shifts into his black wolf Aleksei gets excited. Watching him pull at Chaos, and the huge wolf looks like he is so in love with our baby. Our commitment ceremony and wedding are being combined, tomorrow is the big day. Kalsea is so excited she has been non stop planning with Evanka and Willow. I have been stuck in my little bubble with Maddox and our son. The love for my boys is at times overwhelming, I haven’t let Aleksei out of my sight. We have been learning as we go with Aleksei, he can feed off both blood and normal food. Maddox said he can feel his wolf spirit, at his age it is unheard of in normal wolf children. His aura is very strong, if he gets upset only Maddox and myself can get near him as his aura is too much for anyone else. Willow has been desperate to take him to give me a
LyraBlissful pain free darkness, where am I? Where is Maddox? As this thought hits me I feel a wave of panic run through me. My baby, is my baby ok? Shit! I need to get back from wherever this is, I need to get to them. Open your eyes Lyra! I scream at myself. It's funny the minute I start to feel parts of my body I know I am on my way back. First the tingling in my hands and feet, then the rest come to life. That’s when I hear him, my Maddox. He’s calling my name, I am calling back to him but nothing is coming out. I hear the pleading in his voice and it breaks my heart. I am coming my love, just hold on. Then the searing pain explodes through me and my eyes fly open.“Baby, your back” Maddox says as he peppers kisses all over my face, before I can answer him another pain knocks the breath right out of me. Sweat runs down my face as I try to gather my thoughts before another scream rips from my throat. “Lyra, Lyra listen to me” Kalsea says cupping my face and all I want to do is bi
LyraEverything has been steady Maddox and I are just back from Russia, it’s the last time I can fly before the little king arrives. The nest has been thriving, we spent a month there making sure everything was set up and ready for Evanka and Kammi to return. The gifts that the clan has been handing in for both Kameal and my pup as Maddox calls him is so heartwarming. There is a more relaxed atmosphere, they have accepted Maddox and that makes me proud of my people. Dollar has been over for quite some time with Demitri and he has been accepted into the clan. My people are doing better unfortunately two of the council men have been removed and replaced, but this is all in the good of our clan moving forward and healing.I am huge, my swollen stomach is bigger than Evanka was when she had Kameal and I still have six weeks left. I love how attentive Maddox has been but it is driving me crazy, I feel smothered. Willow has been amazing. She threw me a baby shower before we left for Russia
LyraIt has been a few weeks since Archer was shot and Maddox’s parents were returned to the pack holding cells. The pack has actually started to heal from what has been going on, especially the Omegas. The new housing project is looking good and the school building is almost finished. The sense of community is amazing, the pack is now working as one as a team, as a pack.I know Maddox is stressed about his parents and what to do personally. We all know what would have happened if It was my choice, but my Alpha isn’t quite as ruthless as I am. Demitri and Dollar left for Russia a few days ago so that Kammi can return to Evanka as she is nearing the end of her pregnancy and Kalsea didn't want her flying so late in her final trimester. The little king I am carrying has been kicking up a storm, I swear he gets excited when he hears his fathers voice. I would be lying if I said the pregnancy was going smoothly, being sick everyday and the tiredness is unbelievable. The truth is I wouldn
Maddox Today is the day of my parents' trial. I have hardly slept, I lay awake cuddling Lyra’s tummy talking to our pup. I have never felt so grateful more than I do every time I look at my mate, she really is my light. She stirs in my arms before her stunning red eyes blink up at me “Have you not slept?” She asks as she leans up and pecks my lips. “Don’t worry about me, you just keep growing our pup” A beautiful smile crosses her face at the mention of our pup. She reaches up and runs her hand down my jaw, earning a growl of appreciation from Chaos, my wolf loving the touch. “You know we can postpone this if you aren’t ready” She says while placing small kisses to my bare chest. Closing my eyes I allow the feel of her in my arms to bring the peace I need. Shaking my head “No, let's just get it over with” I lean down and kiss her deeply enjoying the small moans of pleasure she makes. Pulling back I look down at her “Besides, we have our Alpha and Luna ceremonies to look forward to,
LyraI have been home for a week now and Kammi, Luca and Masimo went to sort out the royal nest. My sister is nothing but a ball of hormones, I am glad I don't seem to have them. I am not as far on as Evanka, her baby bump is very noticeable. She begged me not to send Kammi to Russia as he is her support, even though her husband is in the cells beneath the packhouse. At this moment I am actually waiting for her to come to my office. I have many things to discuss and her husband is one of them. There is a small tap at the office door, I shout come in. Evanka is really glowing in this pregnancy and actually thriving here in this pack, she has taken to helping set up the new homes for the Omegas. For the first time in years she feels like she belongs. I hate that I will need to send her back but she is the only one I trust well except my men.“Come sit, we must talk” She nods and sits, I hate how submissive she is. “First of all, what are your plans for Maximus?” Her eyes go wide as she
