After staring at the result window of the pregnancy test for what seemed like forever, I made my way to Vlad’s office. I stop the door and take a deep breath with the pregnancy test in my hand I knock on the door. I wait for his rough,“Come in.”I open the door and enter. He looks up from some paperwork on his desk and his open laptop in front of him, and he smiles at me. I watch him move his seat back from his desk as I approach. I walk over and climb into his lap sideways, wrapping my arms around his neck as I bury my face. His arms automatically wrap around me and tighten holding me close, he seems to take a deep breath before whispering next to my ear.“Darling. What is the matter, you’re trembling.”I hadn’t realised that I was but now that he has I can feel that my whole body is slightly shaking. I open my mouth firmly in what I think I want to say but instead of coming out strong and confident, my voice is soft and hesitant.“Please, don’t challenge my brother…”He sighs, “You
Kyria fights the fog in her mind and the heaviness in her eyes, groaning as she tries to open them and move. It takes her a moment before she is able to fully open her eyes and sit up. She looks down at the bed she is sitting on and then around the room, a frown forming on her face as she doesn’t recognise her surroundings.Kyria shifts on the bed moving to the edge and slowly getting to her feet. As her feet touch the rug covering the floor she takes notice of the thin silk nightdress that drops and flows around her ankles, surprised that she is no longer in the two-piece pyjama set she changed into after the male Jonah left her just before dawn.Kyria smiles to herself as flashes of her time with Jonah, though most of it is fuzzy she knows that he is important to her and wonders if she will see him again. She had hoped that they would have done more than kiss but he had said that if they did he would claim her and it was not yet time.Kyria sighed as she walked around the room, she

Needing order in the Vampire world four young Pure Blooded Vampire brothers, Sargon, Orion, Vladimir and Corbin King, rise above all others, they work their way across the land with cutthroat fierceness, using a cruel viciousness bordering on a barbaric approach they restore order and became the first Vampire Kings of Kings.After a few centuries of protecting the Vampires, other supernaturals and the secret that is their existence, each of the brothers took a mate, creating their own bloodlines while still bowing to the oldest; the Royal King Bloodline,Sargon King - being the oldest carried on the Pure Royal King Bloodline, the bloodline to only mate with a Pure Blooded, as according to Vampire Royal Law - Recently changed allowing the current King - NathanielOrion King - mates with a human servant, creating the
Whoosh… Crack… Smack… Whoosh… Crack… Smack… Drip… Whoosh… Crack… Smack… Drip… Whoosh… Crack… Smack… SCREAM!… I tried to hold in that scream but as the iron-infused leather whip that’s now laced with a weak version of our Prides Deaths Door serum lashed at my sore, bloody and damaged back, cutting into more of my skin as Graves pulled it back this time, I just couldn’t.He always dips the whip into the Deaths Door serum for the last two lashes knowing that if I haven’t screamed yet I soon will. The Deaths Door serum is just that, it is a mix of Azalea, lily, Mistletoe, Rhododendron and Sago Palm which are some of the most deadly natural plants to WereCats.At full strength it’s very painful, extremely deadly and only used as a last resort, however, a diluted version is used to coat some of the punishment whips just to add a little more burn and a little more pain. The antidote is usually not needed but given a few hours after punishment has been served just to ingrain the lesson
ElizabethFlashback cont…I whimper again as he pushes me chest-first against the punishment pole. He let go of my hair only long enough to grab my wrists, force them above my head and connect the iron shackles. I scream as the iron burns and the metal digs into my skin as he tightens them making sure that I can’t slip my hands free.He then steps back and to the side. Tears stream down my cheeks as I turn my head to watch as Mane Beatrice walks out of the Den, freshly changed with Nala and Chloe and the entire Pride walking behind her. Again I tried to say that I was sorry, however, she didn’t want to hear it as she whistled calling the rest of the Pride to the centre of the village. Once everyone is encircled around the village centre she looks at Duke and says, “Expose her back.” Duke’s stern stone face mask cracks just a little as he looks into my eyes. Being the only Father figure I have known, I know that Duke doesn’t want to do as she says as he steps up behind me once more
Elizabeth We move slowly through the basement and into the small side room that is my sleeping quarters. It really wasn’t a very big room, there was just enough room for a small military-style cot up against one wall, a small trunk that sat at the end of the cot which is where I could keep what little clothes I owned and in the corner on the other side was a very sorry excuse for a bathroom. There was a toilet and a small open shower which only ever had cold water even though the hot water service thingy was just outside the door on the other side of the basement, I just wasn’t allowed the luxury of hot water. I’m sure that this room was originally used as a clean-up after the warriors would interrogate those who entered the territory without permission.Kyria helped me over to the shower, I stood with my hands and forehead leaning on the tiles as I nodded my head slightly telling Kyria to turn on the water. I hold in the scream but let out a whimper as the cold water hits the new w
SCARLETT It has been five years since the war against the S.D.E. and other than the vague report of Romeo being seen over the last few months life returned to as much of normal could be for us. I toss and turn as the flashes of the vision plays in front of me.Hidden within and below the mountains,Within a prison cell, a male with a whip and a sinister look in his eyes,A girl hanging from her wrists, bloody and beaten.The Shifter King's mate… She must be saved…Death, destruction, bodies and blood everywhere.It can't be avoided this time.The War of the Kings is coming...The vision then changes and becomes clearer as I walk the over the new battlefield, I fight and kill all that attack me there’s no saving them this time. I watch as the last vampire to attack me falls to the ground with her heart still in my hand. I then look around me and see Griffin, Mother, Father, Josephine and Zachary all doing the same...Fighting for their lives.The battlefield then moves and I am standi
NATHANIEL I wake and sit up from another restless sleep. I look around and sigh. I swipe my hand down my face and slip out of bed. I walk into the bathroom and use the toilet before washing my hands and splashing my face. I exit out of my bathroom through my room and over to the balcony doors.I open them and take a deep breath of the fresh air as I walk over to and lean on the railing. I look out over the castle, over the town and out past the forest to the forbidden mountains and marvel at how much things can change in just a few years.It has now been five years since the war with the S.D.E. and my father handed over the throne to me…With the wave of power that Hunter had released that night during the war, we had unintentionally announced to the world that the Lycan King had returned. Something that I now believe would have happened at the coronation with the passing of the throne, not in the middle of war had my mother not nearly diedThen when all the allies had left after the
