Anna Marie
She had never felt so burning hot in her entire life. Every inch of her body felt like it was simmering from the inside. Only Lucas's touch had soothed her. Icy baths helped extremely.
Rie was drifting between sleep and wakefulness. Uncaring of the time. She was in a dream world and she had a task to accomplish. Something vital. It had to be done and it had to be attained.
Her head thrashed on the pillows, her eyes clenched shut. Needing answers to survive.
"Sweetheart," his soothing voice was a balm to her soul. She whimpered.
"Luc," she murmured raspily. "Water."
She could feel his arms surrounding her and he supported her body, guiding her to recline on their bed, a few seconds later she felt the glass on her lips. She took a grateful gulp of the icy cold water.
"Slowly, my queen." He whispered. His lips on her hair. Sighing,
Lucas-It's time.-Unbelievable strength coursed through him, one he had never felt before, crackling the air whirling around him, making him believe the potency of a King's Argetlam.His rider. Anna Marie.She called forth to him. His beast following the beating of her heart. He had never felt so invincible in his life.With his luminous eyes, he found her waiting for him on a clearing near their tranquil lake.So beautiful and trusting, his queen. Pride for him shining in her amber depths.Sure and steady, his golden wings tinged in graying black brought him closer to her. Timber-like limbs gained momentum, slashing through the cold evening air with precision. His talons curved, as sharp as swords, a powerful weapon dug and found purchase on the earth's cold bed.Dracon, his beast was breathing heavily, excited
Anna MarieFuck! There were too many of them. Wide-eyed, fear rolling in waves all over her body, she trembled."Lucas." She mumbled. Her throat was parched from the overwhelming scene below her. Alexander's wolves were being eaten by the hideous creatures. They were writhing and crying out in pain.What could she do to help them?Her sisters. The pups!-Be brave, my queen. He needs you.Her dragon spirit. She was his heart and his strength. He needed her. Just like she needed him. And she was no longer an ordinary human.It was so freaking hard but she commanded herself to relax. A herculean task. Taking deep and slow breaths, the beating of her heart began to slow.Anna Marie felt her strength arising. Energy. The source came from deep within her. Channeling her power to her beast, her round thighs tigh
AlexanderThe Lycan KingFuck! He shouldn't have left them. The events leading to this moment had been part of their enemies' plans. Creating a diversion compelling his presence so they would have the opportunity to attack the main house while he was gone.Anna May. His pups. His sister.-Alexander!Uncertainty course through his body, wishing he could run faster. Almost there, from the treeline, he could see his roof and smoke surrounding the perimeter. Lots of it. From the blast. He growled savagely.-I am coming, baby.No response. All he felt was pain. His heart squeezing. He knew then and there they lost something precious.-Be strong, my queen. I'm coming.A heartbreaking scene welcomed him when he entered their estate giving rise to his lycan's howls
LucasThey had yet to hear from Ruby, the evil mistress of the Dark Angel. Everyone was on edge. The realms on high alert.Esmeralda and Lucifer were due to arrive in the afternoon. And from there, they will have the whole night of planning until the exchange.Watching his Argetlam's tired face, he grimaced. Her transition had been tough and now they were facing the biggest challenge yet."If we could all retire for a few hours until Esme and Lucifer arrive?" He suggested to his friends. The ladies were about to protest but their men nodded in agreement. They too felt the need to take care of their mates.Before Rie could say anything, in a practice move, he swooped her in his arms, with a nodded to everyone in the library, who also had their ladies in their arms, he bade them farewell."Lucas," she squirmed. Her eyes flashing in annoyance.
Anna MarieThe hours spent making love had not eased the heavy emotions in her heart. By late afternoon, they decided to join their guests at the library. Hands joined and clasped tightly. She was afraid to let him go.To her surprised, Esmeralda and Lucifer were waiting for them.Anna Marie blushed. She didn't mean to be late. She and Lucas shared a bath then well..."Your Majesty, I am glad you heeded my advice." The priestess inclined her head. Though her face was unreadable, her palest of green eyes showed hope.Out of character, which surprised the lady, Rie closed the distance between them, embraced her tightly, and bussed her cheek.It took a few seconds, however, Esmeralda recovered and patted her back like a loving mother. A soothing sensation slithered down her spine. Anna Marie was grateful to the priestess.Then her attenti
LucasHe gritted his teeth. No one, no one owned his queen but him. They belong together. Forever.Wanting to finish the fucker once and for all, he commanded his beast to calm down and promised him retribution soon."Give us the children first. We have fulfilled our end of the bargain." Esmeralda demanded, raising her arms."Okay, little sister. I have no use for those brats anyway." Ruby clapped her hands and several slaves appeared with the pups.The powerful priestess immediately took the crying babies, soothing them. "I'll be back, Ruby." She warned before she vanished with her precious cargo."Lucifer," the gothic beauty enticed in a sickly sweet voice. They all felt like gagging when she tore the front of her black dress revealing her pale body with generous curves. "Claim me." She beckoned."No, bitch. You will never be my qu
Anna Marie"No!" The distress in her voice carried through the black clouds above.Thunder and lightning illuminated the blurry ground below them. It was no longer flaming and she could no longer see Zachary's melting body.He was naught but ashes now. Though she didn't care what happened to that fucker. Knowing he was dead was enough for her."Little chef," the man she was holding for dear life whispered his plea once more. "We are going to fall.""Then we fall. Together. We die together, Lucas. I am with you all the way." She whispered with conviction, tears blurring her image of him, her eyes never leaving his.If this was the price of their love then so be it."I love you, little chef. Forever."He was saying goodbye. His glowing dragon's eyes were dimming. His heart, beating alongside hers was slowly fading.
LucasBeing coddled was one of the things he hated the most. He was an alpha male. The King of Dragons. The ruler of magnificent and ancient beasts.A puny in his queen's arms.So much for his dialogue. One look from her, plus her not-so-subtle threat that he was sleeping outside their bedroom if he didn't comply with her wishes made him strip in a flash and let her bandage his healing wounds without so much as a murmur.Damn! The Goddess had given him a tyrant for a mate. And he was eternally grateful. He wouldn't have it any other way.Heavy lidded eyes watched her nimble fingers tend to him, stirring his urges. Her touch was so soft and delicate he quelled the urge to shudder in pleasure.A celebration of a different kind forming in his mind."Maybe if you could sponge bath me?" He suggested innocently.Narrowi
Anna MarieFour Weeks Later"Chef, the rack of lamb, medium rare is on the pass, waiting for your approval." Her new sous chef, highly recommended by chef Nicolai from ICE was brought in to fill Indali's temporarily vacant position.-What's her name again? Joana. Oh, right.-"Thanks, Joana. And make sure we have enough ravioli for tonight. And check my baked lasagna from time to time." Rie went back to plating her delicate dessert for the evening. Aside from that she also prepared Lucas's favorite.Greek donuts with luscious dark chocolate ganache and cherries. Yum. Plus a surprise.This made her nervous. It was expected to happen though. So it wouldn't be much of a surprise for everyone but she would love to see her mate's reaction when she confirmed the news."Chef, a VIP is requesting your presen
UnknownSon of a bitch!He failed once more. And his most powerful ally, Ruby was incarcerated. Councilman Rexin was facing trial and death.A fucking mess this was.He had gained a lot of treasures from the raids but it was not enough.He had to come out soon and fight. Damn with keeping his identity a secret.He had a weapon. One that would rock the Queens's world. They had no idea the kind of nightmare coming for them.Faith and alliances will be tested.All the careful planning will come to fruition with HER help. And she will help him. The woman had no choice.She was his to command.It's time to give her a call.Eager as always, she answered on the first ring."My love?""It's time for you to join me.""Wher
