REIGN"We can have it all Reign, rolling in the deep but I know you would try to play it to the deep." Nirson was not denying anything and he was not backing out either, rather he was spitting threats."We?"What did he mean by we? Who were the components of we?'Yes Reign we. You, me and the others that you trust so much to keep your mates safe. I advice you look before you leap because you are well out numbered. Get on the winning side and you could still be my Luna.' My eyes popped as Nirson responded in my head.He did not dare voice out such incriminating words because in werewolfdom, the f&cking walls has ears lent to them by the beasts that lived within.It was treason to say such things and Nirson knew better than to give me any evidence to pin him down or risk being heard by someone else.Nirson had a half smile on his face as he looked over my shoulder talking in my head before walking away.I turned to leave when I was met with beautiful set of gray orbs, fine thin lips,
DANTEThe past few days had been awful seeing Zephyr collapse was a torment to me.Reign was not having it either, she had been quite on the edge lately and everyone could tell. Zephyr had informed to look out for Nirson before he passed out.“What is the update on our suspect?” I eagerly asked Tyler when he entered my office.Tyler looked exhausted, he had been at the hem of affairs heading the investigation about Zephyr's attack. “We have a head way. We found some items around the vicinity including these.” Tyler displayed the items he found on my table before Axel and I.Axel put on a glove before picking up an item to analyze. “This is Zephyr's bracelet,”“Exactly, the person had access to Zephyr's room.” Axel and I exchanged knowing glances at Tyler's statement.The bracelets were the exact ones Zephyr had got when he visited a coven in France, in a bid to tame Ghost after he almost killed Tyler.“Look at this,” Tyler pointed at one of the items.“It is a silver knife, what abou
REIGN"Yes, we should all share our secrets and you can start by explaining what doomsday is" I watched as color drained from both their faces. There was no going back now, they were surely going to have to spill the beans. "Reign, it is not what you think. " Axel started and paused. Oh! I was Reign now? Dante opened his mouth to speak but closed it again. "Who told you of doomsday?" Axel had managed to compose himself when he asked but I was not going to let his cold demeanor scare me one bit. I was searching for the right answer without having to lie when a knock rapped on the door."Come on in," Dante called out. He knew who it was.Alexia!I jumped to my feet and hurried to Alexia's side."Oh Alexia, I am so sorry I totally forgot about our appointment for the banquet tonight." I grabbed Alexia's hand and moved us closer to the door.Alexia stared at me perplexed but she complied.I was thankful to the goddess for having Alexia intervene. If it was someone else, I could
DANTE I was dressed early and availed myself at the banquet. Axel was already in the hall when I arrived. I looked around for my mate and frowned when I could not see her."Looking for someone Dante?" Tyler startled me."Not exactly,""She definitely would not be here at this time. You would have to wait quite a while into the ceremony before she arrives." Tyler continued to tease but I was in no mood for his games."How is the security so far, confirmed guests too." I asked and Tyler immediately swung into work mode."All formations are definitely unknown to Nirson and all guests would be confirmed before access is granted." Tyler continued to give me a breakdown of all security details and Nirson's restrictions.No one could openly restrict Nirson because neither of us had any concrete evidence to pin him down. It would be a great crime to accuse royalty without proof."Dante, we are up next. Do you have your speech ready? I checked on Zephyr Zephyr already so you need not bother.
Dante When we got there we found a pool of blood flowing from Zephyr's room.I picked Zephyr's scent in it.In a second Axel and I shifted and pushed the door open.I was not going to lose Zephyr so casually.What I saw forced me to shift back immediately. "Damn it Ghost! Did you have to dice his throat into bits?Ghost was hovering over the lifeless body of his prey. I walked to Zephyr's wardrobe and picked out a replacement for my ripped suit.Ghost had a very bad habit.He would always go the extra mile to completely and inhumanely butcher his prey.I was not interested in whatever had transpired because from the reaction of Ghost and the silver dagger on display, I could already tell.It was good and bad news.The good news was that Zephyr was safe and alive. I could beat my chest and bank on the monster he accommodated to save his life any day and any time to preserve his in turn on earth.The bad news was that Ghost had destroyed possible evidence and a prisoner who we could hav
ZephyrThe room was dark and I laid still, alert and awake and just like old times, I smelled him. Excess whisky with a mix of mint. An awful combination he always adorned himself with.I guess old habits never died but certainly old habitors did.He came close but not too close, I clenched my fist as tight as I gritted my teeth. All the while I laid in wait."Oh, look at the mighty Alpha Zephyr, the same that sends shivers down the spines of lots at the sound of his name." He snickeredHe leaned in very close now, just as old times I expected it, the torment that would push Ghost over the top, that would vex my spirit and put me on the edge so he could inflict his strokes in my memory.He would bite through my skin with his whip soaked in wolfsbane, it would land on my skin greedily and leave with a chunk of my flesh hanging on its spikes as the contents sipped through my blood and weakened, no! paralyzed ghost."Now you lay bare before me as helpless as you were then. At my mercy."
Zephyr"I had resigned myself to never trying to escape because it only cost me more. I sat still until you saved me." I said directly to my mate and she stared at me in surprise."I saved you? How?" Reign asked."This is the second time you are giving me another chance at life" I smiled, took her fingers in mine and kissed them lovingly.She had indeed saved me that night. I had barely realized until recently during the surgery at the hospital. The more the little girl called out to me the clearer the similarities became. Looking at Reign now I pieced together the pieces. Comparing the images from my memory to the image before my eyes.There was a contrast yet both faces stayed the same only that she had grown a little bigger. Her lips were still the same, her nose, the arch in her brows and of course her touch.Familiar."Did you always have silver strands?" I asked,She shook her head as she eyed me suspiciously. "No," she laced her fingers on her lap and fiddled with them."Red h
Reign Pleasure built at my lower belly as my mates teased and explored my body. I was ready for their mark.Slowly Dante had lowered the zipper and peeled the luxury dress off me, his knuckles grazing against me. My low moan echoed like thunder in my own ears."Step out," my mate murmured when the mass of cloth pooled at my feet. I obeyed like it was a commandment. Zephyr grabbed my chin in his teeth, a brief nip that shot an ache down the center of my body.I wanted to tense up, go rigid at the thought of losing my innocence to them but my body was already yearning. Damn Eliel. All she wanted was her mates, their thick lengths buried in the depths of the haven that we harboured.I blinked and opened my mouth to speak but Axel simply covered it with his mouth. Gentle and warm, very reassuring. His arms were around me, sliding and skimming over my back as he circled us in a seductive waltz towards the bed.Axel lifted me bridal style to the bed, "There are all manner of things I have
