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
A lot had changed for Vlad after feeling the Royal link open and flood with power, which led to finding and claiming his mate, Gabriela.Even though he still wanted revenge for what was done to his family in the past and with his hatred still pulsing for the Lycan King, Vlad was confused and starting to have second thoughts.Even after telling Gabriela that he was going to face her brother, having Gabriela in his bed, in his arms and by his side had made something shift over the short time he had been mated to her. Vlad had listened to her even more as his spies confirmed that she was right.Her Brother was nothing like the old Lycan king, Erebus, and the stories his mother and father had told him. The reports he is getting also make it seem like this new Lycan King really does care and is actually trying to change and help the shifters within the Forbidden Mountains for the better.When Vlad had gathered his army and declared war through the S.D.E. he was blinded by his hatred for th
Using the invitation to the Blood Moon Ball as a means of entry to the King kingdom, thanks to Alpha Blade, Alpha Ken knows that the Omegas they are after are within the castle and are presently within the Ballroom.Alpha Ken and Graves make their way around the Ballroom and it doesn’t take them long to find both Kyria and Elizabeth dancing in the arms of two other males. A low rumbled growl vibrates through their chests as the possessiveness of their Cheetahs pushes through.Alpha Ken and Graves move to the side and watch. It doesn’t take long for Graves to realise that the male dancing with his Elizabeth in his arms is the same one that attacked him in the dungeon of Vapor-Moon.Putting a leash on his Cheetah, Peter, knowing that there was no way he could get his hands on Elizabeth while she was in his company, he leans against the wall and without looking at Ken says.“So, What’s the plan?”Alpha Ken’s eyes are on the Omega Kyria, he doesn’t recognise the male that is dancing with h
I don’t know if it was me or the effect of the Full Blood moon but the moment he touched me I was lost, there was nowhere I wanted to be other than in his embrace.We danced the entire celebration with him stealing a soft kiss. Even though I had accepted that he was my mate allowing the mark on my neck to connect us even more, looking into his eyes after missing him for so long I feel that I’m ready to surrender completely to him.Clara and Matilda both purr in my head. However; they then make me feel a little uncomfortable and embarrassed as they flash images of what they want Nathaniel to do to us and from the low chuckle he lets out I feel the heat in my cheeks increase just knowing that they have sent the same images to both Hunter and Cole.Nathaniel pulls me in tighter against his body allowing me to feel his reaction to my thoughts and their images as he whispers next to my ear.“Shall we get out of here?”I smile and nod my head, Nathaniel keeps a hold of my hand as his other
Unlike most shifters, our shift is smooth and with no pain so shifting from either Clara’s Leopard form or Elizabeth’s human one, my shift will always be flawless and non-painful. I stretch my legs, my body and then my wings as I swim under the surface of the water.After a few moments, the call of the Blood Moon takes hold and I hasten my movements diving deeper for a way before turning and then speeding up to the surface. I break the surface and shoot up into the sky, I open my wings and hover for just a moment before I allow gravity to take over and pull me back to earth, diving into the water.Once I am under the water I swim back to where Hunter is standing just in the water, I leave it to the very last moment before I break the surface and get closer to him. I see his eyes flicker back to green letting me know that Nathaniel is back in control.I then stand before him and whisper into his mind along our link.“I’m Matilda.”“Matilda. You are beautiful…”I don’t think he meant fo
I don’t know what it was, but as soon as he had removed his fingers from inside me and pulled back from his kiss, the burning heat returned and I fought the reflex to curl in on myself. I whimper.“Ahh… Nat, it hurts. Please make it stop…”I then feel not only Nathaniel’s calming aura wash over me but Matilda’s healing joins his, just as Clara purrs with a little worry over our open link.“Oh, no! Our heat has started…” Nathaniel’s eyes widen as he hears what Clara says. He then returns his lips to mine as he slides his hand down my body to my thigh. He applies a little pressure, making me lift it so that he can wrap it around his waist, slipping his hand under my thigh to take hold of his cock. He slides it along my private lips as he whispers over the link,“Are you sure, My Love?” This is what I was scared of… Scared of my heat hitting and me having no say on who forced their cock inside me… But being here with Nathaniel, Cole and Hunter, being held safe in his arms, having him b
Romeo and Jonah hadn’t been fighting, though they had been watching as it progressed through the Forbidden Mountains. Romeo understood where his cousin was coming from by teaching some of these Prides who is now in charge and that change was coming.Romeo knew that his cousin never did anything without reason. However, he didn’t understand why he was so focused on Vlad as it seemed he was making a direct line for the MoonKing kingdom’s castle.As a feeling of unease ripples through him Romeo looks over at Jonah from his perch and opens his link,“Scout out the main camp. Report the chatter.” “Yes, boss.” Jonah lets Cyrus surround him with his Demon smoke and teleports just outside Nathaniel’s main battle camp. Cyrus taps into his Demon abilities making him invisible to all those around him. It would take another Demon or a very high Vampire to be able to detect him.As Jonah makes his way around the camp he hears the soft chatter of the warriors, finding out that some are warriors p
Once everyone starts to move, Blade and Silas keep ahold of Xana as they make a quick round of the closest members and then make their way back inside the castle Den and to their chambers to complete the more private part of the coronation ritual. Taking advantage of the loopholes in his oath Blade takes them back to Alpha Ken’s guest chambers.Blade stops at the door, turns and makes Xana back up until she is leaning against Silas’ chest, he wraps his arms around her knowing Blade’s intent. Blade lifts his hand to her chin and leans down placing a soft kiss on her lips as he pulls back he whispers.“Shall we see just how jealous and aroused you get?”Xana shakes her head slightly disagreeing, Blade steps back chuckling, he lifts his head to look at Silas,“Hold her while I get our lovely Elizabeth.”Silas tightens his arms around her as he nods to Blade, who then turns and opens the doors behind him. Blade walked into the chamber and over to the door he saw Beta Graves put Elizabeth
Xana turns slightly the other way and holds out her other hand, like Blade, Silas doesn’t hesitate to slide his hand into her and step up next to her. Then at the same time they both step even closer wrapping their arms around her waist. Taking a deep calming breath Xana then says,“High Elders Nami and Sora will now join us on stage to perform the coronation and crowning ceremony making me and my chosen’s equals.”Elizabeth was sure that you could have heard a pin drop even with normal human hearing with how dead silent everyone in the proximity were. Elizabeth watched as Elder Nami stepped onto the makeshift stage followed by Elder Sora who was holding a velvet pillow with a beautifully gem-decorated dagger. Once they are in position, Elder Nami takes a step closer and starts the ceremony“Princess. Turn and kneel.”Elizabeth watched as Princess Xana turned and kneeled each of her hands still being held by the males on either side of her. “Princess Xana, do you accept the ascension
Silas closes his eyes as his chest rumbles in pleasure at the sweet scent coming from her. Silas feels the two males behind him as one takes a step closer. Feeling his intent to interfere, Silas releases his Royal aura, making both males freeze in place before going to their knees.Silas opens his eyes and locks them with Blade’s smirking as he lifts his head, makes a show of extending his fangs for Xana and then sinks them into Elizabeth’s pulsing vein making Elizabeth scream.A shiver goes through him as he Retracts his fangs and sucks, filling his mouth with her blood and letting out a low groan as the sweetness of her blood touches his tongue and sends pulsing pleasure straight to his cock. As much as Silas and Blade wanted to continue getting lost in both females they knew that the announcement time was fast approaching. Silas takes one more mouthful before he swirls his tongue over his bite and lifts his head pulling back on his aura allowing the males behind him to once again
Meanwhile… Nathaniel stalks into the warrior, and as he expected, they attack, quick as lightning Nathaniel and the warriors behind him take out half of the Pride before the Mane exits the Den. Nathaniel moves quickly, stepping behind her, wrapping his clawed hand around her throat and squeezing. Making her shiver, Nathaniel with Cole sharing he hisses next to her ear. “Surrender or die.” Not wanting to lose her entire Pride, the Mane reluctantly whispers. “Surrender.” She then tilts her head back a little, allowing her Cheetah to come to the surface. She lets out a loud roar, calling to her warriors to stop and surrender. Without releasing his hold still on the Mane, Nathaniel’s warriors round up what’s left of the Pride, forcing them onto their knees before him. Once everyone is present and on their knees, Nathaniel growls. “I will only give this choice once. Join me or…” The Mane, knowing that she had no chance against the creature behind her, whimpered and surrendered, N
As Nathaniel enters the hall he opens his link with Alexander.“Alex, 500 warriors at the ready. 2 of my elite teams and 5 team heads in the training field in 10.” “Immediately. Your Highness.” Nathaniel cuts the link as soon as Alexander answers him, knowing that the warriors he asked for will be standing ready and waiting when he walks onto that training field. Nathaniel heads up to his chambers, opens the outer door and walks through the entry and sitting area to his bedroom.Nathaniel has to suppress the growl that Hunter has travelling up through his chest at the impact of Elizabeth’s scent mixed with his while being combined with the lingering scent of sex within the room.Still feeling quite calm Nathaniel walks through the bedroom and into his closet, quickly changes into his Royal fighting suit before pulling out his small mission duffle bag. He stuffs in a couple of essential items of clothing before walking out of the closet and into the bathroom where he picks up his tra
Julian and Victoria made their way to the location that Savannah had given them, they stopped at a couple of Prides along the way, asking questions and doing a quick search but coming up empty making them move on to the next one.Little did they know that as they approached the Shadow-Claw Pride the next morning the SUV carrying Alpha Ken’s messenger pulled up in front of King Castle. The warrior Stan gets out of the driver's seat and walks up the front steps to where Griffin is waiting.Memphis does a quick Angel scan of the warrior in front of him before handing control back to Griffin finding nothing hostile. Griffin turns his back to the warrior as he says.“Follow me.”Without waiting for a reply Griffin heads into the castle and leads the warrior into Nathaniel’s office. As soon as the warrior has entered past Griffin, he says gruffly.“Wait here. His Highness will be with you soon.”Griffin backs out of the office and closes the door. He walks a little further down the hall and
The Shadow-Claw Pride convoy travels uneventfully toward the AshMane Kingdom Pride when Alpha Ken gets a link from one of his warrior scout teams sent out earlier that morning to set up watch.“Alpha, an unmarked Royal SUV heading our way. Instructions?” “Which Royal?” “Unsure.” “Take it out.” Ken knew that if it was heading in the opposite direction to the way they were heading then it was most likely one of the other Kingdoms and if it was unmarked as his warrior scout had reported then it must be a messenger. Everything is quiet until his SUV slows to a stop, Alpha Ken opens, steps out and approaches the scout standing off to the side.“Report.”“A messenger, he was carrying this.”The scout passes Ken the envelope, Ken takes it and looks at it closely noticing it is sealed with the other new king’s royal seal. Getting back into the SUV Ken opens the message without damaging the seal and reads over the contents.Kyria shrinks back in the seat next to him as his aura strengthens
When I had finally fought off the effects of whatever he had injected me with I instantly felt the distance and the weakness of my connection to Nathaniel as I sat up in the bed and looked around the room he had put me in.Though it wasn’t his private room in Vapor-Moon his scent was everywhere so I had no doubt that it was his. I try to feel Clara and Matilda and let out a sigh of relief when I feel Clara stretch her body under my skin and then feel Matilda slide her calming presence over my mind as I realise now she has done that many times, I just didn’t know it was her.Feeling dirty, from the short time I could feel Graves’ arms around me, I crawl off the bed and head into the bathroom for a hot shower. I try not to take too long not wanting Graves to come in and try to join me. I step out of the shower, grab the towel hanging next to the shower and dry off.I wrap the towel around me and then step close to the door, I let my hearing expand and listen into the room making sure th
