I held the blood bag up to Julian's lips. His fangs penetrated the plastic, a sigh instantly leaving him once the thick, crimson substance caressed his tongue. Those white orbs of his rolled to the back of his head in content and my immediate thought was, 'Damn he looks so sexy.'
I had one of his t-shirts on. We made it home at a little past nine. It was still an early night but it was eventful as hell. The rogues had gone off to do what they did best — hunt and live off the lands, while Victor remained behind to make sure Julian hadn't suffered from anything severe.
With each mouthful of blood, his skin began to heal itself. The burns he had suffered from entering the fire were close to being non-existent, leaving a smooth surface behind. After the fourth bag of blood, I could see him returning to reality. He didn't look as dazed or exhausted.
"I must have done something righ

JULIAN My patience was wearing thin. Oh so thin. Thorne's heart hammered in his chest, an uneven rhythm that had the monster in me grinning menacingly. How I was able to strike fear in such a man, I would never understand but I quite liked the feeling of having the upper hand — for now. I still had an uncomfortable situation down south but it was slowly dying down — until my gaze settled on Lilith again and whatever blood I had consumed ran downstream. I held my breath, giving my lungs a reprieve from the stench of werewolf, from the delicious aroma of Thorne's blood, from the temptation of the little she-wolf that claimed herself as my mate. My thoughts were scattered but it only took me a mere second to rearrange and compartmentalize them. My priorities were clear. Right now I had to handle Thorne and whatever information he had to disclose. But once I had Lilith alone— "Well, what d

LILITHJulian kept close to me as we navigated the streets. When we landed in Russia, I didn't know what to expect. To be honest, I still didn't know what to expect because Julian barely spoke a single word about the woman we were about to meet. I did, however, know that she resigned from living the normal vampire drifter life. She lived in an old cathedral in Moscow. I wasn't sure how she pulled that off. People were bound to notice that she didn't age.Julian guided me into the massive gates, leading me into the courtyard of the cathedral. It was a beautiful place with water fountains, blossoming flowers, and statues of all kinds. In the center of the courtyard was a statue of Mother Mary with a gentle smile on her face.I could bet my entire life savings that this place looked breathtaking in the light of day. It definitely made one believe in divinity. In the same way, we had the Moon Goddess, humans p

LILITH We were hauled up in a hotel room once the sun began to peak the horizon. I admired the beauty and simplicity that came with a sunrise. Warmth caressed my face, an ombre blend of pink, yellow, and burnt orange washing over the blank canvas of the sky. I could smell the heavy aroma of coffee brewing from the coffee shop down the street and the delicious sweet scent of the pastries and cakes being made. Mornings weren't my favorite, especially since I spent most of my mornings sleeping in because I was too exhausted from the night before. But this, this made mornings worthwhile. Once I could see the bright orange ball fully on the horizon, I snuck back into the room which was bathed in a warm yellow glow from the lamps that sat on either side of the king-sized bed. It was a simple room with different tones of white making up the color scheme. Julian sat on one of the lazy boy couc

LILITHI could have gotten lost in the feeling of Julian's cold lips against mine. It felt better than I imagined, both sparks and shivers dancing throughout my body. I was certain no one else's lips would mold so perfectly to mine. He left me breathless and panting but I wanted more, so much more. His hands on my skin made me realize how much I needed to feel his body against mine, clothes being too much a barrier.I tugged the hem of his shirt upward and within half a breath he had removed it and captured my lips again with his vampire speed. This wasn't my first time. However, I had only been with humans before — not even a werewolf. This was the first time I was going to be with a vampire; not just any vampire, the king of them — my mate.This was bound to be interesting.Julian trailed his mouth down my neck, teeth scraping across my collar bone, "I've never done this with

JULIANI gently dropped the little she-wolf to her feet, stopping at the edge of the Midnight Sun pack borders. After what we had done earlier in the day, I felt more connected to her than I had ever felt before. I could feel the fear radiating off her as if it were my own and taste it at the very tip of my tongue. She didn't want to be here but we had officially run out of time. This had to be done and I had to be responsible for disclosing this news."You smell like me," I murmured, trying to get her mind off what we were about to do.Except, she released a long deep groan that was one note short of being a growl, "Yeah, that means we won't even have to tell them. They will smell that we've..." Lilith allowed her sentence to trail off, her cheeks taking in a rosy hue under the silver moonlight that spilled through the lush canopy above.I sighed in exasperation, "You need to relax becaus

JULIAN "You what?" Those words were shrieked, the voice reverberating off the walls that made up the cave we sat in. I still didn't understand why we had to meet in this ridiculous place but I wasn't about to question it. If I wanted this to play out in my favor then I needed to play the cards I had been dealt in the perfect order. I sighed deeply, slouching further into my seat with my eyes closed and my head tipped back. The entire time I had been focusing on Lilith's scent so the scent of the half-blood wouldn't tempt me. As per usual, I engrossed myself in thoughts of drowning in the divine Alpha Queen's blood — only, reality proved that her blood was putrid. "Lower your voice," I gritted, feeling my fangs snap out. My eyelids fluttered open and I found myself glaring at Tiana — the source of the shriek, "before I leave you with none." "Watch it bloodsucker," Zeph

LILITHMy hips swayed with the rhythm of the beat. We were back home and I was back at work. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss this; the feeling of absolute control to be whoever I wanted to be on stage. My fingers curled around the cool steel of the pole so I could pick myself into the air and do a carousel, arching my back so I could give the perfect view to my male spectators. A smirk kicked up the corners of my matte red-stained lips when I saw a dark-haired man tossing a few bills onto the platform.I was being paid to give them a show and that was exactly what I planned to do.Landing expertly on my platform heels, I sashayed my way over to the man that had thrown all that money onto the circular stage I was performing on. I gracefully dropped onto all fours, arching my back to give the men behind me a clear view of my pussy and ass through the thin white lace of my thong. My lilac locks were
His Warm-Blooded Mate Chapter 21
LILITHMoments like these were rare to come by. I knew I wasn't human but my parents and I kept the facade that we were, because of that, we barely found the time to be what we actually were. This was the second time I had shifted into my wolf. The shift wasn't as painful as my first but it still felt like a saw cutting through my bones. It was worth it, though. Every bone breaking and reshaping, sprouting fur and a big nose, and growing a tail — it had all been worth it. I could hear the trotting of deer a few miles away, smell the scent of pine and sandalwood, feel the vibrations of the damp earth each time my fluffy ginger paws landed onto it. The ground felt alive beneath me, pulsing with waves of electricity. We felt nature the same way every supernatural did and because of that, we had to obey the laws of nature. My parents ran beside me, their wolves slightly bigger tha

LILITH I twirled around the cool metal pole that Julian had installed in his office while we were away — I was actually surprised that there wasn't one installed previously. 'I Feel Like I'm Drowning' by Two Feet spilled from the speakers in the room as I swished, twirled, and danced freely for the vampire in front of me. For my mate. I clutched the pole in my hands, then dropped before gradually rising and arching my back to give him the perfect view of my ass. Then, I threw my head back so my lilac locks could kiss the air. I could feel Julian's heated gaze pricking my skin. Those beautiful white irises never wavered, taking in every curve of my body as it moved gracefully and erotically for him — seducing him in the best way. He stood in front of his desk, ass perched on the edge and arms crossed. I realized, once we came back and he had returned to suits, that I fucking loved how m

LILITH"I think I'm going to need you to explain more than half of that all over again," Phillip said, gaze bobbing between his brother and me. We were back at the packhouse and I was doing my best to fill him in on what he needed to know — more importantly, why we hadn't killed his sister's killer."How do you have the brain of a vampire yet your mind is so utterly slow, brother?" Julian grumbled, laying back in bed with his hands under his head, eyes closed, and ankles crossed. He was the picture of relaxed but I knew he was anything but. His attention never wavered from us even if it looked like he paid no attention at all."It's a lot to take in," Phillip breathed, running his large hand through his silky locks.Julian sighed, "You'll get used to it. I did.""You're a king," Phillip muttered in what sounded like astonishment, "from an ordinary human boy to a vamp
His Warm-Blooded Mate Chapter 40
LILITHI made my way into the living room knowing that Victor and Quade were there since they were finally out of the infirmary. It took a while — and Silas and Sydney's help — to get the sticky obsidian silver laced powder off their flesh. Everyone else who attempted the task ended up getting burned by the silver which meant the two wolves immune to the substance had to do it. I was almost certain that they were scrubbed raw because of how sticky the powder was. The witch didn't go into detail about it because we were in the middle of a life and death situation and now that she was dead...I figured after we left Julian would track down another witch to help him understand it better. However, I had a feeling the witches would tell us little. These were things they kept a secret from us for a reason. It was what helped them defend themselves once their magic waned.I knew Thorne hadn't left his
His Warm-Blooded Mate Chapter 39
JULIANI settled my brother in the room opposite mine so I could keep an eye on him. He was still going through the painful transition but I had a feeling he would stick to his room after I had warned him that a werewolf bite was potentially deadly to us. That paired with the fact that their stench was potent enough to have me gagging kept him in check. He wouldn't risk leaving the room to hunt and I'd give him blood as soon as his system could ingest it.I gently closed the room door behind me as I exited only to find Sylvain leaning against the wall opposite with four bags of blood cradled in his hands. A groan of displeasure crawled up the back of my throat and with much effort, I swallowed it. As much as I hated what he had done. As much as the memory of my sister falling to the ground with fear blowing her eyes wide and causing her jaw to unhinge. I understood why he did what he did. If I were in his place and Lilith
His Warm-Blooded Mate Chapter 38
LILITH I hissed, unfurling my fingers from the tight hold I kept on Thorne and Sydney's necks. They could have incinerated me when I used my unnatural newborn speed and strength against them. Instead, they used heat waves of splintering hot fire to burn my flesh. The skin from my fingers up to my arms was bubbled with blisters and steaming with burns that would probably only heal if I had a taste of human blood.My golden eyes latched onto the corpse of Julian's sister sprawled in the ground. I dug my heels in and clamped my jaw shut to prevent myself from moving but it was admittedly fucking difficult. The sweet and potent scent of the thick crimson substance sang to me. It was a siren's call that begged me to fall under its spell. To let the inner huntress in me free and soothe the aching burn that flared at the back of my throat and the external burns that I couldn't ignore on my arms. My fangs snapped out and venom dr
His Warm-Blooded Mate Chapter 37
JULIAN The half-blood's purple flames cut through the shadows — not as well as hellfire did — but it weakened them enough to allow me to breathe. I regretted taking in the burning lungful of air when notes of human blood stroked the back of my throat. I wasn't certain how Lilith tolerated it but I kept a firm grip in her hand in case the huntress within reared its head and she sped off in the direction of my siblings. We continued quickly and silently down the narrow passage. I could sense that it was barely wide enough for Lilith and me to walk shoulder to shoulder, hence, I walked a step ahead. We didn't race forward like before because I knew Grace was up ahead and I didn't want to risk slamming into a magical barrier or a wall that I wouldn't be able to see. With my sense of sight out of play, I relied on everything else. I touched the smooth, cold walls and created a mental map of every turn I took. If this was under different circumstances I may have commended Tania on how well
His Warm-Blooded Mate Chapter 36
LILITH"Where is she?" I whispered with a hiss, my gaze skittering across the area.Penelope had warned us that entering through the illusion would notify Tania but I didn't think she'd manage to get to us so quickly. We barely gathered ourselves from the landing and she was already ready to attack."I don't know. Like I said before, there's one thing she doesn't need to siphon and that's her ability to control the shadows. She can use them to disguise herself or travel. Like teleportation," Witchy explained and I didn't think that this was the right time for a history lesson.I did remember her telling us about this, though, which made things a lot more difficult than they were original. Julian's hand found mine, gripping it tightly in his hold. The sparks that erupted had me releasing a breath I didn't even know I was holding. If my heart wasn't still in my chest I would have been suffer
His Warm-Blooded Mate Chapter 35
LILITHWe were gone and back from our hunt within an hour and for the entire hour, Julian graced me with silence. He was angry that he wouldn't have a say in Tania's fate after everything she had done to him — done to all of us — but Witchy had already struck her bargain and it sounded as if her plan would work. It was solid, better than any plan any of us could come up with. We needed her magic so agreeing to let her and her ancestors deal with Tania's fate was a small price to pay.I just hoped that the witch didn't overexert herself leaving her useless to us. If she guttered her magic then we would have a serious problem.I swallowed the venom filling my mouth at the thought. It was bitter, just like the blood I had ingested thanks to the drugs riddling the human's system. Whether Julian and I killed the couple or not, they were bound to die soon probably from an overdose. It didn't make me
His Warm-Blooded Mate Chapter 34
LILITHWe shot down into the living room, finding it already dark outside through the large windows. Julian and I had both been stuck in that suspended state of sleep without actually being asleep for hours. Even with myself being so frightfully aware, I now somehow felt fresher, stronger, less exhausted. It made no sense but when you really thought of it, the entire vampire species made no sense.A species that was now my own.My eyes latched onto the source of the scream finding Witchy awake and twitching, fully drenched from head to toe with what looked like icy cold water. She opened her mouth and then closed it, gaping like a fish out of water and looking the part as well. The beta of the pack, Enzo, stood with a tight smile on his face and a massive bucket in his hands.Julian brought his fist up to his mouth and bit down on his knuckles to suppress his laugh whereas I simply bit the
