I look at Seraphina as she looks out over the lake and seems to sigh. I follow her gaze to the beautiful sight before us, before looking back at her. A soft smile caresses her lips, she doesn’t look at me as she then says,“The view at this lake is just beautiful…”A light blush forms on her cheeks when she continues,“Me and my mate love coming to this lake. I even believe that a couple of our Vampups were conceived either here on the grass or in the lake itself…”Her aura then seems to change, it's still calming but there is a little more to it. She sighs and says without looking at me,“May I ask what had you so scared?” I take a deep steadying breath and force my now aching body to move so that I am now properly sitting next to her. Hearing that same purr and then feeling that same movement under my skin, fear swamps me again as the realisation that my first shift is coming and then I will go into heat.I look down at the bottle of water in my hand and whisper,“My cat warned me
We were almost back to the castle when a wave of intense rage flowed through me making me freeze and take a sharp breath in. I then hear two soft voices in my head whimper.“Mate…” Without thinking and not knowing how I did it or that I could I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I feel Clara stretch through my body while the mysterious Matilda seems to shift in my mind, calming the rage flooding me, following the path of that rage back to the source.As soon as my mind touches the source, the scent of Oakmoss, Patchouli and Vanilla surrounds me, I take the safety and the calmness that it provides into my heart, embrace it and then with Matilda’s help I send it with my touch.A small smile pulls at my lips as I feel the rage back off and his mind becomes clearer. I’m not sure which one it was or even if I heard him as his scent slightly increases around me and he whispers.“My Love!…” The connection is soon gone but the feeling of him inside me stays and makes me feel less scared,
Still a little confused about what is going on my body seems to know that we have been dismissed and I make my way into Kyria’s room. I notice that Dad is still lying on the other hospital bed and though he seems to be deep in thought and watching Kyria however he isn’t, he is actually asleep a trick he picked up being the Alpha of our Pride.Taking an exhausted breath I walk over to his side and grab the blanket sitting folded at the end of the bed. As I unfold and cover him with the spare blanket I lean down placing a soft kiss on his forehead before I turn and place a kiss on Kyria’s forehead. With my lips still pressed lightly against Kyria’s skin I feel Matilda shift in my mind again, I then feel a little heat build inside me before it seems to pass from my lips and into Kyria making her body seem to relax and her breathing to even out a little more.Once the build-up of whatever it was has completely passed into Kyria, Matilda purrs in my mind happy with the result, disappea
As the Full Blood Moon gets nearer Clara has been stretching more and more under my skin however she keeps reassuring me that she will not shift until our mate is with us, and as she stretches under my skin once more I let my mind wander to Nathaniel.He had marked me to save my life and after we only had a couple of days, if that, together but that was enough to solidify the connection between me and him and make me miss him the longer we are apart. Then the most unwelcome and cruel words of some bitchy warriors from my Pride filters into my head.They had just pulled a young female warrior out of the breeding room, she had bruises all over her body along with blood coming from a split lip and even more trickling down the inside of her thighs. My heart clenched at their laughter as they said.‘With the small amount of time he spent with you, you mean nothing, you were worthless, you were useless and now that he had gone to Mane Beatrice after such a small amount of time meant you had
Being reminded that Nathaniel was a Hybrid and a powerful king makes a shiver of unease run through me. Serenity pats her hand on my arm, her smile falls as she looks at me before pulling me to a stop.“Sorry. I wasn’t trying to scare you. Just give you a heads up. You can do all the training in the world and still not be prepared for what you will have to face as a Royal. But Nathaniel is a good male and is proving to be an exceptional king so you will have nothing to worry about. Just be yourself and if something doesn’t feel right then do it your own way and make it your own. Seraphina did and that is how we now have the Full Blood Moon Ball.”She giggles and pats my arm again before continuing.“I think I’ve scared you enough, not that I intended to do so… Go, browse see what you can find.”She pats my arm once more and walks away. I shake my head, pushing all the fear that is now flooding my mind to the back and start walking. I wander the aisles my mind not truly on the task at
The original Lycans were an evolution of the Werewolf, blessed by the Moon Goddess to be the guardians of the Werewolf species. Lycans were able to shift but walk on two feet instead of four, they were stronger, faster and healed three times faster than a normal werewolf making them better fighters and a more superior version.Just like all the Moon Goddess’s creations, when she created the first Lycans she made mates for them just like anyone else to keep them grounded.For years Lycans protected the werewolves and thrived until the Old Lycan King lost his mate. He then became greedy and when he found out that his only son, the young Lycan Prince's fated mate was an ordinary female werewolf he completely lost himself.The Old Lycan King prohibited them from completing the mating and ordered his son to reject the werewolf female, as the Old Lycan King had arranged for his son to be mated to a pure-blood female Lycan Princess, joining their kingdoms, expanding his own and making his Ki
Kyria squeals as she practically bounces in her spot and grabs my hands making me look at her as she says excitedly,“When? Why are you only telling me now? What’s her name? Did you shift? Is she a Cheetah?”I can’t help but giggle at her, my mood picking up just a little as I say,“Kyria… Kyria… KYRIA! Calm down.”I wait for her to stop bouncing on the spot and look at me. Then I take a deep breath and wait for the lecture. When it doesn’t come I say.“She hasn’t told me what type of cat she is and we haven’t shifted yet. However, her name is Clara. She fully spoke to me the day the King rescued us, though she says that she has been with me for nearly my whole life…”Kyria frowns, I know she is going to give me a lecture for waiting to tell her however I can see something else in her eyes something close to hurt which is confirmed when she asks.“What do you mean? Has she’s been with you all this time? You never told me…”I glance out at the storm before returning my eyes to hers,“I
I was hoping to make it back to the kingdom a couple of days before the Full Blood Moon Ball so that I could prepare and assure Elizabeth that even with how I am affected by the Blood Moon I would never hurt her and whatever happened between us would be her choice.However, that didn’t work as I was detained at the last Pride I visited just like WildPaw and a few of the others I had visited over the past weeks, I found the reports to be warranted and the High males of each Pride had to be replaced.Thinking about WildPaw I remember the surprised look on my younger brother Eli’s face when he entered WildPaws Den, meeting me in Aya’s office and finding that the beautiful Mane was his mate.He was beyond pissed when he found out what Alpha Charles and Betas Karl and Samuel did and though it isn’t something that I would always condone I allowed Eli to visit all three down in the dungeons with an Alpha order from his King, not his brother, not to kill them.I chuckle to myself as I remembe
50 years later...NATHANIELI smile as I stand looking out the window of my office watching My love waddling around the backyard playing with our four youngest Vampups.I scan the rest of the backyard and my smile widens at how brightly it is decorated, ready for tomorrow night's full moon celebration.As I watch the youngsters play, I think about what we have achieved over the past 50 years and I am relieved that just like when Father had done the public punishment with the rogues all those years ago, the public punishment and display of King Blade did what I had expected and wanted.With everyone working together, especially the females, we managed to rebuild over half of the Prides that were disbanded and destroyed during the King’s war.As with most supernaturals, there are always members who try to push, bend, and outright break the laws. However, with the alliance with the MoonKing, AshMane and the other shifter kingdoms we have managed to reduce those members to a minimum. Ho
I don’t bother with shoes as I walk back into the bedroom, link my arm in Kyria’s and enter the receiving room. I pull her over to the small table that has the lunch tray on it, I guide her to sit down, I giggle as she shakes her head saying,“Lizzy, no I’m meant to be doing that for you… You’re the Queen…”“Ky, I may be everyone else’s Queen but I’m still your sister and that means that I can spoil you just as I used to…”We both start laughing, as she sits down I push in her chair before turning the tray on the table so that her plate is in front of her and mine is in front of the empty seat. I step to the side, sit down and remove the covers from the plates.We both lean forward and take a deep breath letting out a low moan of food pleasure at the aroma of the food. We both pull back laughing again before picking up our forks and digging in, glad the food has taken her mind off what she had asked me.Once we have finished the food, we move out o
I startle awake as I feel something skimming up and down my arm. I tense as arms tighten around me before I notice the sparks running under my skin. I opened my eyes to look straight into bright green ones that soon flickered with gold and red. I let out a soft sigh as I relaxed and whispered,“Good morning.” I feel his chest vibrate as he tightens his arms around me, answering,“Good morning. My love.”Before I can react he has pulled me up, rolled me over so that I am now lying on my back underneath him and he has settled himself between my legs. I let out a low moan as he pushes his hips forward sliding his cock slowly inside me.Pressing his lips to mine in a dominant kiss he soon increases his thrusts harder and faster, building the pleasure inside me until it is exploding inside me and I am screaming his name. As my body shakes and shudders he increases his thrusts again building the pleasure again quickly so that as I scream aga
Nathaniel keeps his thrusts at a hard but steady rhythm as Elizabeth’s body shakes and quivers in his arms Cole retracts his fangs and starts to suck filling his mouth with her addictive blood before swallowing it down.As Nathaniel feels Elizabeth’s orgasm slowly calm and then start to build again he increases his thrusts harder and faster slowly losing the steady rhythm he had set as his own release builds. Nathaniel swipes his tongue over the two puncher holes in her neck sealing them but leaving them for everyone to see.Cole and Hunter extend their fang and canine mix so that as Elizabeth screams out her release, Nathaniel howls out his release shooting jet after jet of his seed inside her, they sink their combined fangs and canines into his mark.Flooded with an extreme amount of pleasure from the combination of his remarking and the intensity of his release, Clara and Matilda extend their fang and canine mix and sink their fang and canine mix into E
Elizabeth relaxes even more and a soft moan escapes her lips as Nathaniel slides one of his hands up from where he had them resting on her lower abdomen. Skimming his hand up over her breast, up her neck, spreading his fingers as he cups her cheek from behind allowing him to move her head and deepen his kiss.Without thinking or breaking his kiss, Elizabeth lifts her hand to his cheek while turning in his arms. Nathaniel growls as his hand leaves her cheek to slide down her back and pull her tighter against his body.Getting lost in the pleasure Nathaniel takes a couple of steps forward making Elizabeth step back until her lower back is leaning against the balcony railing. Nathaniel moves his hands to her waist as he pushes his body harder against hers making a whimpered moan escape her lips.Sliding one of his hands down over her hip and her thigh until he finds the slit in the skirt of her dress, sliding his hand onto her bare skin. Elizabeth shivers and tense
As Nathaniel and Elizabeth get closer to where Blade is restrained, Elizabeth is flooded with fear even though she knows that he can’t touch her again. When the barricade of the suppression collar Graves had placed on Elizabeth was removed Clara and Matilda were filled with rage as they were hit with the memory of what was done to her.They see and feel everything that Graves, Blade and Silas have done to Elizabeth without them there for protection. As soon as Elizabeth is filled with fear Clara and Matilda push her back as they take control.As Nathaniel and Elizabeth stop in front of Blade Matilda growls over the link,“I would bite his cock and balls off for what he did to us but I don’t want that disgusting thing anywhere near my mouth…” Clara agrees with her as Nathaniel, Hunter and Cole all chuckle. Clara then lets go of Nathaniel’s hand extends her claws and sends a hard slap across Blade's face leaving four deep gashes along his ch
Elizabeth keeps her eyes on his as she nods her head. In the short time she was at the castle she had learned a lot about the running of a kingdom and that sometimes rulings and punishments had to be decided and executed even if they didn’t want to.A small smile pulls at Nathaniel’s lips as he skims them over hers and whispers,“Let’s go.”Nathaniel pulls back and steps to Elizabeth’s slide slipping her hand into the crook of his arm and then leading her out of the chambers, through the castle den, out into the courtyard and into the waiting SUVs to take them to the Pride’s main town.Once there Nathaniel helps Elizabeth out of the SUV and then leads her over and onto the makeshift stage that was erected overnight. He steps to the front and looks out over the members of the AshMane Kingdom and Prides.Nathaniel scans all the prisoners on their knees with their hands shackled behind their backs in front of him before his eyes land on Blade shackled
Asthe sparks spread across her cheek and the smell of Oakmoss, Patchouli and Vanillasurrounds her and fueled by Clara and Matilda’s desires to reconnect with their mate, all the nightmarish images and feelings from the past few days disappear as desire floods her. With their desire clouding her mind Elizabeth moves closing the small gap between their lips.As she presses her lips to his, her body moves so that she is straddling his lap with her arms around the back of his neck. Nathaniel’s arms instinctively wrap around her body and pull her in tighter against him as he deepens the kiss.Nathaniel slides his hand down her neck along her collarbone, skipping her chest to slide down her side, stopping momentarily at her hip before continuing down along her thigh, stopping at the edge of her night slip dress. As his hand sits on her bare skin, his fingers moving mindlessly the haze in Elizabeth’s mind starts to clear making her tense.The desire, the sp
Nathaniel woke first having both Hunter and Cole practically purring in his head at having their mate back safely in their arms. Cole’s fang’s tingle with wanting to taste her but Hunter growls at him,“You can’t, you saw the feeding mark. You might scare her if she wakes to your fangs embedded in her neck.”With a low hiss at Hunter, knowing that he was right and backs off. Nathaniel sighed knowing that seeing the feeding mark on her neck and with feeling the consequences of the mate bond being betrayed he knew what they had done to her and would have to work to get her to trust him again.Yes, Nathaniel, Hunter and Cole all knew that it would be them that would have to earn her trust again, after what she had been through. The feeling of betrayal hurt but after seeing his mother, father and twin sister go through it, he knew what he needed to do.Leaning over and taking a deep breath of her intoxicating scent Nathaniel sighs again as he pulls back and s
