Anyone else in love with our Princess of Darkness' attitude ? ;) MM xx
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
LyraThe whole flight I could feel their eyes on me. Maddox is having an internal battle and I wish I could help him but this is not my battle unfortunately. I have noticed an increase in Maddox’s aura and his fathers seems to have dropped. It looks like my man has stepped into the Alpha position without it being passed to him. I don't actually know what happened but I am sure I’ll hear all about it once we are alone. Maddox looks utterly exhausted and I can feel he is mentally drained. I just wish I could do something to help him but it really is his decision but I will stand by him. We land just after midnight and for the past hour Maddox has been lost in thought cuddled into me. The minute the door opens I notice a very pissed off looking Kammi, and an arrogant looking Maximus who at this moment is striding towards my sister. Evanka rushes to him, arms wide tears running down her beautiful face. It would be a sweet sight if it wasnt for the fact the man is a fucking wet wipe.Goin
MaddoxMy mind is a whirl of thoughts and decisions I need to make, I most certainly did not want to take the Alpha title yet and definitely not in the way I did. Chaos is pulsing with energy from the surge in our aura the moment he overpowered my father and his wolf. I hate how it happened but he is not fit to lead the pack.Today I have a meeting with the elders and my fathers Beta and Gamma, Dollar’s parents returned two days ago so Archer caught Flynn up to date on the goings on with my father and the pack. Flynn and Delilah were away visiting Dollar’s sister in her new pack, she was recently mated to a warrior from one of the other packs we had an alliance with.I had asked Lyra to accompany me but she thought it would be best if I spoke with them on my own to start with. My parents are basically under house arrest until I have decided what to do. The whole thing is giving me a headache, if I am honest fighting vampires in Russia was much less stressful.Atlas and Dollar will both
Epilogue part one Five years laterLyra“Aleksei, be nice to your cousin when she arrives” I tell my now moody five year old. He gets more like his father everyday, and has the moody Alpha act perfected. He sits at the dining table feeding his two year old sister Czarina, even though my daughter is more than capable of feeding herself. “Why does she have to come again, Mommy?” Aleksei says with the cutest little pout. “She always wants to play with me” He huffs, making me smile. Even at a young age he is so clever and it is easy to forget he is only five.I pick up my daughter and sit her on my swollen baby bump, she claps her hands and kisses my cheek. “Daddy said you need to be careful” My son says, pulling his sister down and holding her hand as we make our way to the front door to meet Maddox as he has gone to collect Kameal from the air strip. “Baby, baby, baby” Czarina says as she walks beside her brother. At almost two she is a shining light in our family, always laughing and
LyraGetting to the front steps Maddox places me on the floor before he shifts into Chaos. Even now my big black wolf takes my breath away with his jet black fur that looks so shiny it could be oil. Not to mention his bright blue eyes a shade brighter than Maddox’s usual sapphire coloured eyes. ‘Get on my love’ Comes My Alpha’s voice as he lays lower to the ground so I can get on his back. I had only just climbed on when he took off, making a squeak come from me before I burst out laughing as my mate took off at speed towards the back of our territory towards the cabin that I used to go to when I needed away from my parents. The cabin comes into view and I place a hand over my mouth in surprise, there in the dark covered in fairy lights is what looks like a fairytale cottage. Leaning forward I wrap my arms around Chaos’s neck ‘How did you know, it looks amazing, thank you’ I say as I bury my face in his soft fur.He slows and I slide off his back, and lay my head on his side “It’s be
LyraI have been sitting feeding Aleksei for the past twenty minutes, he just keeps spitting out spit bubbles and looks so cute. This child is a Goddess sent gift as Maddox keeps telling me and anyone who will listen. Carlos stands guard outside. I can hear the steady thrum of his heart, while he waits for me to hand him Aleksei. I have told him many times he is his guard not Nanny but my friend wont have it. He says that there is no need as he has to be there anyway, and if I am honest I prefer and trust him more than anyone else. “Carlos” I called, the door opened and my friend's face appeared. “Is he ready?” I smile at him, “Yes, he most certainly is, and full of beans” I say as I brush my nose off his and he giggles while spitting more bubbles.“I have meetings for the next two hours, then we have the meet and greet for the Nest” I say as I tuck him into his stroller. I try not to laugh as Carlos puts the nappy bag over his shoulder and takes the pushchair. “What?” Carlos asks, lo
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
