KYRIA I was starting to fear that the new King wasn’t coming, that he hadn’t listened or believed me when I had said that she needed him. Like the last so-called King, where nothing ever came from any of the lower ranks complaints.I know I can get into a lot of trouble if I am caught but I sneak down into the dungeons whenever I can, I try to treat the lash wounds on Elizabeth’s back from the whip, give her a little bit of food and water helping her to heal and tolerate just that little more for a little longer.I know that Graves has been pushing how many lashes he gives her each session, the minimum is 20 wanting not only to hear her scream but to get her punishment over with as soon as possible because he knows that he can’t touch her, that he can’t fuck her while she is in the process of receiving her punishment.I was lucky, I had just ducked into the next cell when I heard Graves open the dungeon door
KYRIAI don’t answer her as her growl and voice pull me out of my shock, I scramble to my feet and before they can react I jump and run past them. A shiver of fear runs through me as I hear them get to their feet growling and follow. I don’t look back as I hear them yell and then others join them in chasing me.While Samaria focuses on healing me, I push myself to run faster, knowing that my speed is the only thing going for me. I glance over my shoulder just to see where Kiki and Em were behind me, I was a little surprised and concerned when I could see Kiki along with two more of her warrior friends, Nicky and Hilda, but I couldn’t see Em.I returned my attention to what was in front of me and let out a small sigh of relief when I saw the light of the Den entrance approaching. Only my relief didn't last long as I let out a surprised scream as someone managed to grab my upper arm as I ran past, pulling me to them, making me tu
Vlad and Romeo make their way through some of the Prides, heading in the opposite direction, heading toward Nathaniel. They had managed to get a couple of the Prides on their side and had arranged not only security and protection but warrior training for both.As Romeo and Vlad approached the Vapor-Moon Pride, Romeo felt something that he hadn’t felt in a long time. He knew that Julian and Victoria would be travelling with Nathaniel as his second and third. It is their requirement, however, even though over the years he has had a few close calls with his family, they have never been this close.He feels the pull to family, but the pull of the loyalty oath with Vlad pulls that little harder, keeping him standing next to Vlad. An uneasy feeling goes through Romeo as they get closer to Vapor-Moon. He opens his link with Jonah,“Jonah. Something isn’t right. Scout ahead…” “Yes, boss.”
SAVANNAH As the males take care of the diplomat side of being in this Pride I am surprised to come across a Pride Elder that mastered in healing and sorcery. Magick in any species was frowned upon for a very long time especially after witches were exposed and the humans conducted the Witch hunts and trials, which didn’t always involve just Witches a few other supernatural species and even innocent humans lost their lives.Elder Chi was showing me one of her ancestor's spells for tracking and dream-walking, making it so that I didn’t need to keep making the dream potion, though it did give me an excuse to see my grandmother and our coven and them the excuse to see and corrupt Brandyn & Georgina every few months or so.The dream-walking spell would also allow me to connect more to him during our waking times and the tracking spell offers me the hope that maybe I will finally be closer to finding where he is as all my other trackin
Jonah smirked when he saw the King get out of an SUV that slid to a stop in front of the Den. Jonah opened his link to Romeo,“Boss, you were right to be cautious. The King just turned up. Is he meant to be here yet?” “No… He’s not.”Romeo frowned at this information as he had worked out that his cousin still had at least 2 if not three Prides before making it to this one. So why was he here already?“What’s the order?” Romeo puzzled this for a moment. He needed to know why his cousin had sped up his agenda before replying.“Observe and report.” Jonah didn’t reply as he knew his orders, as Jonah had become closer to Romeo over the years, he could tell the subtle changes within the Vampire Prince. Noticing this subtle change in his boss and friend, Jonah knew there must be more to the scene in front of him than even he had thought.So, using one of Cyrus’ Demon gifts, he moved a little clos
More days pass and Graves keeps a precise record of how many lashes he has given Elizabeth because he knows that as soon as he hits that 990 mark he has only 10 lashes left and then she is his.The last 10 lashes by Beatrice’s orders had to be done with the whip dipped in their Deaths Door serum. Now this serum is deadly even in the watered-down state that is used, if whipped enough times the consequences can be deadly.Graves is over elated as he is nearly there, he is nearly at the last 10 lashes of Elizabeth’s punishment. Elizabeth was hanging weakly from yesterday’s whipping and his rough handling of her afterwards. He was so close to losing control that he only just managed to stop himself from burying himself inside her before he shot his release all over her stomach and breasts.Graves goes against punishment rules and quickly cleans the lashing wounds on Elizabeth’s back, applying just a little cream, reducing the pain just a little and encouraging just a hint of healing. When
Graves pulls the leather strip out of the serum and using the rubber cloth wrings out the extra serum, dropping the rubber cloth he then turns and steps back toward Elizabeth mumbling.“10 left, only 10 left, then she is mine… Mine to care for, mine to love…”Graves was so in his head trying to work out how to whip Elizabeth finishing her punishment but still keeping to the punishment requirements that he didn’t hear, feel or realise that anyone had entered the cell with them until he had swung the whip placing it just right that only a very small amount of the leather strip would actually hit her skin. Graves is stunned when the whip is pulled tight and then yanked out of his hand, Graves doesn’t get a chance to focus on who it is when the stranger attacks him. Graves protects himself and returns the attack, even though he can feel this stranger's powerful aura, he doesn’t take much notice of it as he focuses on the slight advantage of being within the s
ELIZABETH I vaguely hear growling and maybe some fighting but I can’t focus as the pain and weakness flowing through me are too much. After screaming out to Kyria I don’t have the strength to open my link with her one last time to say goodbye.I know this is it, it isn’t going to be long before I join the Moon Goddess in her garden and wait for the chance to be reborn, to another time and another life hopefully one that is better than this. I am startled out of my thinking but still can’t really react as I hear the most rough, sexy and masculine voice I have ever heard whisper,“I mean you no harm. Trust me, my heart…”I whimper as I feel the warmth that radiates off of him as he steps even closer and slides his arms around me. I take a sharp deep breath when my body explodes with sparks that spread from where he touches my naked body. I feel him remove the cuffs from my wrists, without even trying.Once he had removed the cuffs and slipped his arm under my weak legs, picking me up,
