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
REIGN The Sun cast its warm glow and slipped past the curtains to rest on my face. I shielded the light from my face with my hand and stirred in the opposite direction.Turning my head I realized I was still spread out naked on Zephyr's masculine figure. "Good Morning mate," Axel flashed a boyish smile at me and memories from last night came flooding my mind.I flushed and pink color crept its way up my cheeks. I tried to scramble off Zephyr but a firm hand grabbed me and kept me in place."Going somewhere baby?" Zephyr's baritone boomed in my hair.Just then Dante snatched me away from Zephyr's hold and I gasped loudly "she wants her Alpha, right Luna?"I giggled as Dante tickled me all over, soon Zephyr and Axel joined in and what seemed like a peaceful interaction between Dante and I had turned into a pillow fight with feathers flying everywhere.I laid in bed past morning after my mates had left. My legs felt heavy and I was sore."When you wince in pain between your legs, you wi
REIGN"Or she may be able to lend them her crispy abilities since they are one soul now. Either ways we must eliminate her." Nirson said and I gasped in shock.A third familiar figure held unto me from behind, his firm hand covering my mouth close.Oh goddess not again!Uncle Astor hushed me 'We can not let them see us,' his voice echoed in my head as he backed out slowly taking me along with him. When we were in the confines of his office and out of earshot, Uncle Astor released his grip on me."I knew you were right, I questioned Nirson but he would not budge so I started keeping an eye on him knowing he had an Ally. We have to find that Ally." My heart swelled with joy that I had found myself an Ally as well."Who do you think it was?" I asked frantically. I had listened but was unable to pick the person's scent before I picked up that of Uncle Astor but it was a familiar one, someone within."It could have been anyone. I only just got there myself when I saw you. I thought it was
