ELIZABETH My heart shattered at her softly spoken word, feeling slightly betrayed by her after everything we would do for each other a rumble vibrates through my chest as I say.“Yes, it is. It is the piece of paper you gave me before you went with Nala.”Dad looks at me and then back at Kyria and says.“Is this true?”“Yes, I gave her the list the kitchen gave me but the one I got and gave her didn’t have as many items on it.”His attention was back on me in a second and my eyes went wide again as I knew what he was thinking and my heart broke even more that it would even enter his thoughts. I slowly step back as I whisper.“No, no, no, no, no… I didn’t… Please, Dad, I wouldn’t…”“How many items were meant to be on the list, Kyria?” he hisses over his shoulder.“10.”“There’s 15 on this list. Elizabeth, care to explain?”I didn’t get to say anything as I snapped my eyes to Nala. She actually smirked and snickers and says in her most sweet and accusing tone.“She must have changed it
ELIZABETH I don’t know how long I was out or how long I had been hanging when I felt someone grab the back of my neck and then press what I gathered was their lips to mine. I whimper as pain shoots through me, I then shiver as he pulls back and whispers next to my ear.“No one will choose to take a thief, so my little runt you will be mine.”My heart sinks as I know that he is telling the truth, unless they decide to take me as a caged or chained breeder there is no way I am now leaving this Pride. My only hope now was to maybe try to run but if Mane Beatrice gives me to Graves then that could be close to if not totally impossible.Pain shoots through me again from where he is holding the back of my neck and the force he uses to kiss me before he disappears. I don’t bother to try to stop the tears that slip from the corner of my swollen eyes before I pass out again.I am startled into consciousness when a s
KYRIA I stay and watch as members of the Pride walk past and spit on her before I turn with the intention of finding my Dad. I enter the Den and head towards our chamber when I walk past one of the open rooms I am surprised when I hear Nala’s whining voice. I stop out of sight and listen.“But Graves honey…”“Nala, I’m not an Alpha, there can never be anything between us. You know that your mother wouldn’t allow it…”“She won’t have a choice…”“Nala! What are you planning?”“My heat is starting and I only want you…”I gather she kissed him as she pressed and rubbed herself up against him making him let out a low frustrated groan as she let out an inviting purr before she continued.“I want you to make love to me… I want you to take me to your chambers and fuck me until my heat is complete and I am carrying your cub…” Any normal male would have accepted the offer she was giving him, giving into the temptation and lure of a female in heat. They would have picked her up without though
KYRIA Nicky presses her lips to Elizabeth’s and pulls back laughing, whispering something to her before she spits in her face. Nicky then makes a show of her extending her canines and claws. I want to stop her as she then presses her lips back against Elizabeth’s muffling her scream of pain.I watch as Nicky pulls back, laughing and blood dripping from her claws. I wait for her to disappear around the back of the Den before taking another look around and then stepping out of the shadows. I make my way quietly and carefully over to where she is hanging stopping in front of her. I lift my hand and place it on her cheek, tears fill my eyes as she flinches at my touch before opening her eyes and looking at me. Tears fill her eyes as she rasps out in a whisper,“Ky, I didn’t do it, I swear…”“I know Izzy, I believe you…”Heartbroken that she feels the need to tell me again that she didn’t do what they were accusing her of doing, I wipe the tears from her cheeks as I wipe them from mine,
KYRIA I watch as Grave gives Anton a very sly and evil smirk as he says,“This one definitely has a spine and a lot more as he wasn’t happy when Beatrice had informed him that his encounters with Nala had not only worked but she had terminated it every time.”Anton looked at Graves with a little worry this time as he asked.“Who?”“Alpha Ken!”Anton takes a sharp breath in as he looks at him with surprise saying.“Really?”Graves chuckles,“Yep! Once I had informed Beatrice of what Nala had been doing and why, she got in contact with Alpha Ken from the Bitterhide Pride, who was the very first Alpha Warrior that was with her to get here in two days. That way she would have just hit the start of her full heat, knowing that he won’t take her shit and that she won't be able to fight him as she will just want him to fuck her…”Anton then chuckles,“Beatrice won’t need to worry about her fighting him for long, the rumours of him have only increased from when he was here with her. He won’t a
THIRD PERSON Kyria does as she has done for each and every one of Nala’s heats since she turned 18 and shifted. She provides Nala and Alpha Ken with food and water twice a day. Kyria doesn’t miss that more and more bruises are present on Nala’s face, neck, arms, legs and shoulders when she opens the door each time to take the tray of food and pitcher of water.Not liking but knowing that she can’t interfere with what is happening behind that door, Kyria keeps to herself as much as she can only to be cornered by Anton a few times, with the excuse that she needed to get used to him. However, Kyria had a feeling that she would never get used to the way he tried to touch her, not knowing why but knowing that it felt wrong and that it wasn’t meant to be him who should be touching her.Kyria knew she shouldn’t have but she had to make sure that she was okay and would sneak down into the cells to check on Elizabeth. Graves was cruel, Mane Beatrice had ordered that Elizabeth be whipped one t
THIRD PERSON Anton’s cock twitches at the images Everest is showing him, making him smirk as he lifts his hand and slides it on Kyria’s cheek. Fighting hard against his and Everest’s growing desire for her, he leans in close and whispers with a harsh tone.“Who were you talking to, little Kat?”Though her racing heart betrays her, he is a little surprised when she answers calmly,“The shopkeeper from the human store we get some of our items from, I rang her to find out if any of the items we have on back-order have come in yet…”“What did she say?”“That unfortunately she only has one of the items we have been waiting on for over a month.”Anton nods his head knowing that Kyria was the main one within the Den that the Mane would send to the human town, though he also knew that she sometimes allowed Elizabeth to go in her place.Anton was surprised when Graves told him that he had made it so that he could have Kyria and then later Beatrice confirmed it as well. Saying that once Nala h
NATHANIEL...I straighten as Julian walks away, I look at Noah, he shakes his head but smirks knowing that no matter what he says to me now I will not change my mind. I then walk out of my office and down through the castle hallways to the front doors.I stop at the top of the steps and look over the males and females standing before me. I clasp my hands behind my back and nod my head before walking down the steps and over to where Victoria is standing holding the door open for me.I nod to her and say as I get in,“Julian informed you of the new destination?”“Yes, Nat. You expecting resistance?”“Yes.”She nods to me with a slight smile on her lips, she always did love a good fight. Once inside the SUV, I am soon joined by Noah and King Kevin. I look to the driver and smile as I nod at Griffin, letting him know that we can be on our way.As the SUV starts moving I look at N
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
