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
“PLEASE BE UP STANDING TO WELCOME YOUR KING!”I then allowed my feet to move into the room, everyone bowed before then erupting into cheers. I walk into the middle of the room and stop, not sure why but having a feeling that my Mother was up to something, especially after what Zane had told me over the link.I stand with my hands clasped behind my back and wait, the doors at the other end of the room soon open and I watch Zane enter and walk down the small set of steps to the landing. With the way he is walking, I know that he has someone walking next to him and that he is purposely keeping her hidden from everyone in the room.I hear Sebastian over the speakers again“PLEASE WELCOME, PRINCE ZANE AND INTRODUCING, PRINCESS ELIZABETH SHADE-RIVER OF THE WERECAT PRIDES.”This information surprised me as I was sure that the Werecat Princess was Xana. I flick my eyes around the room and it doesn’t take me long to find her in the crowd as my mother had opened the Full Blood Moon Ball to all
Alpha Blade stood off to the side and keeping his tight fists by his side watched as Princess Xana kept her eyes on King Nathaniel even after he had gotten lost in the stunning female now in his arms. Blade could see the longing in Xana’s eyes and knew that she wanted that, even with her trickery concerning the King she wanted to feel loved, she wanted someone to look at her like she was the only one that existed.Blade knew he could never give that to her as he was more like her father and he despised all females for the weakness that they brought out in powerful males. However, even though he knew she would resent their joining and that she would fight him on everything, she would be his prize. He just needed to get her alone.Maybe after he has done a little snooping around the kingdom he could sneak her away and make her his. Slipping away from the Blood Moon Ball Blade makes his way through the forest and into the castle.Sticking to the shadows to avoid the patrol guards, Blade s
Wrath’s smirk mirrors his as he moves slower this time, straddling this rogue but pulling him into a sitting position so that as he sinks his fangs into the rogue's neck, he can continue to watch his mate. The rogue screams and struggles, but Wrath keeps a tight hold on him until he has drained every single drop from his body and it goes limp in his arms.Wrath enjoys the next wave of power that flows through him, most of the bloodlust from being starved has been stated allowing him to get to his feet and though he is still weak, he steps up to Blade, wraps his hand around the back of his neck and pulls him into a hard, dominant kiss making them both let out a low moan of pure pleasure.As Wrath backs off and Silas pulls back from his kiss, he looks into the male's eyes in front of him and says.“Who?…”“Blade…”Just as his name leaves his lips the male in his arms collapses. Blade moves quickly, catching him and picking him up bridal style, turning and walking with him out of the cell
I spent the weeks travelling from Pride to Pride, trying to restore the magick that had drained from me when I had connected to the ancients of my bloodline. However; even though I now feel elated I also still feel drained.I have a feeling I know what is causing it and it has nothing to do with the spells I had cast over the past few weeks. As my mind whirls and my Magick fluctuates within me, I take a sip from the champagne flute in my hand and have a shiver go through me.I can feel him, he is close. I place the champagne flute on one of the passing trays the Omegas are walking around with and make my way out of the Ballroom. I gather my dress into my fingers and walk through the trees heading back toward the castle.I know he is there but I still take a sharp breath in as one hand wraps around my waist and the other covers my mouth, both pulling me back into a hard chest. I feel his lips next to my ear before I hear him whisper.“Don’t scream.”I had no intention of screaming as h
