Who is excited to go to the Ball ;) MM xx
LyraAs we all exit the Jet the cold hits me and I am reminded of being home, taking a deep breath I continue down the stairs. Maddox walks down the steps in front of me on high alert, scanning the area for any threat, the last time my Alpha got off the Jet my ass hole brother intercepted him and his men. Turning Maddox offered me his hand as I stepped down the last few steps. He really is perfect; I think as I look him in the eye ‘If you keep looking at me like that i will fuck you right here, right now’ Maddox growled through our mind-link that I am still getting used to, sending a shiver down my spine straight to my core.He smirks as he kisses my neck, pulling a moan from me. “Can't you two keep your hands off each other for like five minutes?” Demitri groans at us as he pushes past us heading to the awaiting cars. The group of mercenaries I always use wait for us, nodding to them as we reach the cars. The car ride to the safe house was short as was the time we had to get to the
Maddox The disgust that rolls through me at the sight of the bloodthirst in the eyes of the higher ranking vampires as their eyes land on us when we get out of the cars. Lyra squares her shoulders and lifts her chin ready for the fight and to show she is just as powerful.Lyra slips her hand into the crook of my elbow and stands proudly at my side, my Luna and Queen. She exudes power, not even acknowledging any of the people hoping to catch her eye. Demitri and Carlos flank her as Dollar and Luca flank me, we walk with purpose towards the King and Queen.I hear the minute her eyes lock with those of her father, her heart beats ever so slightly faster. Not enough that anyone else would notice except me, her grip slightly tightens on my elbow. ‘Breath baby, we got this’ I tell her through a mind-link. She leans in and places a small kiss to my cheek. The rage coming from the king has me smiling, he never takes his eyes off his daughter. Who at no point changes the uninterested expressi
Lyra I hate the little toad as he tries to sneer down his fucking nose at me; I do not think so. It takes my all not to kill the fucker on the spot, dragging my team away I head towards the back of the castle hoping to find somewhere quiet to speak with my sister, no such luck I think as we get trailed after with some of my fathers guards.Turning into the Ballroom I notice the look of disgust on Maddox’s face as he takes in the sight before him. Naked females dancing in cages clearly full of venom, grinding on each other. Naked men handing out glasses of champagne loaded with blood. I can hear the growl coming from behind me as I drag Maddox to a table in the far corner.Hoping to get there without being seconded by someone else, Maddox’s hold on my hand tightens and I have to turn to see what has caught his attention. Then I saw Ivan, he was there the day I went to retrieve Kalsea and Dollar. If I remember correctly he and Maddox were fighting. ‘Hey ignore him, we have a job to do’
LyraMy sister just blinks at me, she backs away clearly knowing something but afraid to say. She looks between us and I can see the panic starting to rise. I take a step towards her and I notice the trembling coming from her, she shakes her head while slowly backing up away from me. “I didn't know Lyra, I just found out I promise” Evanka says as the first tear runs down her cheek. “Didn't know? What didn't you know about Evanka?” I ask, trying so hard to keep the red mist from creeping in. This was my sister, my pregnant sister. Before I can even get an answer someone taps the microphone.Everyone turns to the stage where my father stands with my mother by his side, she looks pale and she is staring right at me. I keep eye contact and she mouths I am sorry, I frown why would she be sorry? What the fuck is going on?; I didn't have to wait too long for the answer.(In Russian)“Good evening, and welcome to the first Sokolova Ball of the season” My father says over the mic, the crowd ch
LyraMy eyes dart around the room looking for something, anything that can explain this sudden feeling. Nothing is standing out but I stay alert, nothing at all is catching my eye. The nagging feeling is still there but at the moment I push it aside and concentrate on the matter at hand.Maddox seems to have calmed down a bit and I am glad as the last thing I want to do is put him in his place in front of everyone. Demitri on the other hand looks like he is ready to go head to head with my Alpha over his sheer disrespect towards me and our kind.Placing a hand on my best friend's arm I give him the thank you look at the same time as allowing me to deal with this. “Look, my father is getting ready to start tonight's entertainment, we need to keep our cool. Allow them to be taken and intercept them once they leave this place”I wait to see if everyone is in agreement, catching Maddox’s eye he nods and we sit back and allow the auction to begin. ‘Lyra, I am sorry about the way I spoke to
LyraWalking towards the stage I can feel the tension in the air, I squeeze Maddox’s arm in hope he understands. ‘Please, please keep your head baby, we are completely out numbered’ I mind-link him. ‘He better not try to hurt you or I rip his head from his old ass body’ He growls through the link back, and even though I know he is seriously pissed off right now, the fact he is still in protective mode towards me makes my tummy flutter.I glance to my left where my mother sits and she is staring straight back at me with a look of fear on her pale looking face. As we start to walk up the stairs my father stands tall looking smug, I can feel the rage trembling through my Alpha as we get closer to my father.“Come, join us” My father waves us up on stage acting like the perfect host. As we make our way to stand beside him “Everyone please welcome my youngest daughter Princess Lyra and her Tie Mr Maddox” My father announces deliberately trying to aggravate my man by dropping his title. Madd
LyraMaddox’s mother keeps her mouth shut and I am more than fucking happy about it. If it wasn't for the fact she gave birth to the man I love, I most definitely would have killed her. The conceited bitch is nothing but dead weight, all her time is taken up with what flowers to put in her packhouse.Making our way through the crowds of people screaming and shouting was easier than I thought, until someone barreled into me ripping the Luna from my hand. Spinning around I came face to face with Alexi’s brother Niel, he was just as nasty as my brother and would eventually take over from his father to stand as Vladimikr’s General.Fuck; this is all i need, another psychopathic vampire I think as I remove on of my blades from the holster on m thigh. ‘Take your mother, I’ll be right behind you’ I say to Maddox through mind-link as I spot him out my peripheral vision coming back my way. I hear the growl ripping from him but I just scream for him to go. I feel the war between wanting to pro
MaddoxI watch in horror as Lyra is tackled to the ground by a guy not much smaller than myself; Fuck! I am torn between helping my mate and getting my parents to safety “Go get them out of here i'll be right behind you” She shouts as she pushes my mother towards me, so i can take them to the meeting point.Chaos my wolf is going crazy at me wanting to shift for leaving our mate to fight another male. My mother won't stop shouting stuff at me about Lyra as I drag her by the wrist with my father over my shoulder to the exit where our men await us to leave. I burst through the door to find both Demitri and Dollar waiting. My mother rushes to Dollar crying telling him how Lyra had threatened to kill her and had her by the throat. Dollar has his arm around my mother trying to console her while looking at me for help, if i wasn't so pissed off I would laugh at my Gamma. Demitri and Carlos take my father from me. “Where is Lyra?” Demitri asks as he presses his earpiece and asks her. I look
