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
Nathaniel, not wanting to be rude and knowing that he will need to negotiate the terms of their alliance, Nathaniel nods his head and pulls out the chair sitting down next to her. They then make small talk, talking about the Prides and what he has in mind for change, her opinion on his plans and he even notes some of her suggestions.Over the next hour or so with the distraction of the conversation and the meal, Xana takes any and every chance she finds to touch and skim her fingers over his exposed skin.Rose was a little worried that they had taken a little too long to set everything up and greet some of the kingdom members who were, thankfully, already arriving. Rose had the warriors and spare servants show everyone into the banquet hall and then made her way to the dining hall.Rose lets out a soft sigh of relief as she quietly enters the dining hall, noticing that dinner has taken a little longer than the Princess had said. Rose waits for everyone to be finished eating, for the d
Nathaniel slides his hands on her hips and hooks his fingers into the waist belt before pulling and sliding them down over her hips and down her legs. He stands up straight, just looking at the female who is now lying bare in front of him. He smiles as he reaches down and undoes his pants, removing them but leaving on his boxers.Nathaniel then skims his hands back up Xana’s legs as he crawls onto the bed and up her body, using his hands to spread her legs as he reaches her private lips. Xana cried out at the sudden onslaught of pleasure that just the single slide of his tongue over her private lips caused to run through her body.Xana had a fleeting thought and flash of memory of all the Alpha males she had been with, including her father's best friend and second in command who had taken her innocence while her father watched, hoping to impregnate her with an heir of his choosing.Fortunately for Xana, she didn't conceive a cub from any of the forced encounters her father had set up
As light seems to shine through my eyelids and a strange but intoxicating scent surrounds me, I smile as I stretch but freeze as pain explodes throughout my body and the reminder of where I am hits me.I forget about the scent that is surrounding me and cautiously open my eyes to look around, I am surprised when I see reds and golds surrounding me instead of the dull grey I have been looking at for I’m not sure how long.I test my arms and legs again just to make sure that they aren’t still secured to either the small military cot or the cross rack. My eyes go a little wide when other than being sore I can move them freely. Another wave of fear runs through me as flashes of my fight with Kolby and the look in his eyes when he finally had me pinned to the floor underneath him.I sit up carefully and look around wondering if he had knocked me out before taking my virginity there on the floor of that cell and then maybe moving me to his chambers so he could do it again. Not being able to
I let out a low moan as my tongue then battles with his before letting out a whimper as he suddenly moves us making my back hit the wall next to the closet. I continue to return his kiss slowly sliding my hands up his chest to encircle his neck unconsciously pulling him even closer.He responds by pushing me harder against the wall before moving his arm from behind my back to have his hand sitting on my hip and then slowly sliding his other hand down from my neck to sit on my other hip, gripping my hips tightly as he pushes himself even harder against me allowing me to feel his want twitching against me.I let out a low moan of pleasure as he breaks his kiss and trails his lips along my jaw gently nipping every now and then as he makes his way down my neck. When he gets to the junction between my neck and shoulder, where his mark will eventually sit, he opens his mouth and latches on sucking hard sending a wave of intense pleasure through me to settle low in my core.I whimper as I fe
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
