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,
Nathaniel holds his mate close, keeping a keen ear on her heartbeat and her breathing so that they both don’t stop and he loses her. It seemed to take forever and no time at all before they were pulling up at the border of the AshMare Pride’s territory.Victoria slows the SUV to a stop, rolls down her window and speaks to the patrol guard who walks up to the window. It doesn’t take him long to wave them through and Victoria starts the SUV moving once more.When Victoria slows to a stop once more they are now parked out the front of what looks like either a normal packhouse or clan house, nothing like something a Royal would normally live in. Princess Xana, along with 4 warriors, is standing at the top of the three steps that lead to the front door.Griffin and Victoria get out of the SUV together, however, before they move to open the back doors they walk over and stop in front of Princess Xana. They both give her a small bow acknowledging her Royal blood and status. Princess Xana ret
Kolby lets out a low satisfied but annoyed sigh as Gabriela once again screams and passes out. She was stronger than he thought she was, for a hybrid, her human was tough and though she hadn’t broken and given him the information on the new Shifter King they wanted he now wanted a little more of a challenge and for her to last a little longer against him.Kolby decides to allow Gabriela a little rest and not give her any more of the new suppression serum from Morrisa, which has been keeping her Vampire and Werewolf suppressed for the moment.Kolby reaches into his back pocket and pulls out his phone, he scrolls through his contacts finding the right one before pressing the name. Kolby smiles when he hears the female voice,“Boss.”“Lynda. Return to the interrogation room.”“On my way.”It doesn’t take long for Lynda to be buzzing the outer intercom of the interrogation room. As soon as he hears the buzz Kolby walks over opens and walks out of the door, he meets Lynda in the outer room
Kolby steps over to the entry pad and places his hand over the censer, he listens to the whoosh of the pressure release of the locks and then smirks even more as the door slowly opens. Kolby steps in and hits the inside censer making the door close and the pressure locks hiss back into place.Kolby then makes his way over to his metal trolley, he looks at the pack of condoms he had placed on there before he started his torture but had yet to use. Kolby had never had sex without a condom, always being safe but not sure he has been feeling everything that he should.He is brought out of his head as the girl on the cot lets out a soft groan, he turns and looks at her. Lynda was right with the sports top and pants she had put on Gabriela, Kolby could see her skin clearly and there were hardly any marks remaining from his torture of her.Kolby returns his attention back to the metal trolley and picks up the box, he opens the box and pulls out one. He leans on the side of the metal trolley
I am surprised when I feel the power shift as it calls to Eldridge pulling him to the front and opening the Royal Bloodline connections within me. I am surprised by the magnitude of the new Lycan King's power and know that I definitely need to stop him before he gets too much more.I am then surprised when I feel another connection open, this one is also connected to the Royal Bloodlines only this one is full of fear and vulnerability. The new female voice screams,“HELP! ROMEO!” The soft voice seems to also have a hidden call that causes Vincent to stand up and pay attention in my head. Feeling as there was no time and without warning, Vincent takes partial control making us shift into a hawk and taking off at full flight back to the castle.Vincent pushed his Eagle form to its limits allowing us to make it back in record time. He lands on the first open balcony, then shifts to just smoke. We move even quicker through the castle until we reach the interrogation rooms.Vincent then
As soon as I see her tear-filled eyes I feel the connection to her deepen and I know what she is to us. A wild and uncontrollable rage fills me and without thinking I rush at Kolby tackling, grabbing and pulling him off of the female lying under him.She screams as we roll across the floor, before separating and coming up onto our feet. Kolby looks at me with surprise before he frowns, I don’t answer his silent question as I attack him again.We fight back and forth and I realise that he has come a long way with his training, however, he is still only human and I am a Demon-Vampire hybrid. I move quickly, dodging his next attack and wrapping my hand around his neck. I tighten my hand and throw him against the wall holding him there.I lengthen my fangs and hiss in his face, I feel as both Vlad and Eldridge try urgently to pull me back, warning me, however, I’m not that stupid. I don’t sink my fangs into his neck as I know that his blood is poisonous, I made him that way. I ignore the
Princess Xana was excited to receive notice that the new unmated Lycan Shifter King, King Nathaniel, was finally making the rounds of the Shifter Kingdoms. She had done her homework, gathering information and studying everything that was reported about the young King, even what kind of Prince he was like.The more she found out about him the more she had decided for him that he would be hers and she would be his chosen… Unless of course fate had made them mates. Xana had been slowly searching for her true mate over the years but as with all Royals, there is only so much travel and time one can stay away from their kingdom and throne without consequences.Xana had come to terms a while ago that she would no doubt have to take a chosen mate to be her King and supply her with an heir. However, being the Princess ruler she couldn't just get pregnant to anyone and she wanted someone of noble blood, someone who was worthy of being her equal and wasn't just after the power the position of Ki
She smiled as she opened the small hidden compartment within her vanity and picked up a small jar of herbal cream. The cream was enhanced by magick and was given to Xana by a passing witch. The witch had told her that if her chosen was reluctant to accept her; she was to use this cream.When applied just one small touch from him on her bare skin was all it would take for the cream to work making a temporary mate connection between them that he wouldn’t be able to fight, and the more he touched her the more it would convince him to mate and mark her.All she had to do was speak his name as she applied the cream and then, once he had marked and mated with her, she could get rid of the puny little mate he had walked in with. With a smile on her face, Xana spread the cream over her hands, then as she touched and slid them over her body, she whispered.“Nathaniel King, Nathaniel King, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Nathaniel…” Xana moans out Nathaniel’s name as she skims her f
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
