Lucas declared and Laszlo showed he had not quite reached his maturity when he gave a loud whoop and threw his arms around them both, they opened their arms and hugged him back. Conri looked away sadly he longed to be part of this family but Lucas was not his father and he had every right not to want to include the cuckoo in his nest. He was about to leave them for their reunion when he felt his Mothers small hand slip into his, 'You are part of this family to Conri, you are our Son too.' He looked across at the others and felt a lump in his throat when Lucas smiled and nodded at him, 'We are in this together as a family if you still want to be a part of us.' Conri did not want to cry, he was an adult now and grown-ups did not cry but when he was enveloped in their hug he let the tears run freely down his face, this was all he had ever
He turned to the members of his Coven who had formed a circle nearby and gave them a quick nod while quietly they began to chant and their magic surrounded her settling the fear inside her. The pain disappeared instantly and her breathing returned to normal she opened her mind to the Warlock and felt his magic entering her, calming her. He placed his hands just above her belly and began chanting softly along with his Coven and Katya drifted off into a peaceful sleep and Lucas frowned, 'You sent her to sleep?' The Warlock smiled back at him, 'She needs to rest and reserve her energy for the birth, she should sleep until this little one decides to meet her parents, it will not be an easy birth, her magic is strong it is why she has developed so quickly, she is powerfu
It saddened her that now when she thought about them at all she could not remember her human ‘parents’ or her ‘siblings’ all she could remember was living alone in her little flat and going to college to study but even the faces of those 'friends' she had made were indistinct. She had worked as well, a nice little part-time job in a local shop that fitted around her studies but it was as if her life before Lucas had been erased from her memory, all she had were indistinct blurred images of what could have been anything. She also understood from what the Goddess and the Creator had told her that she had been placed with that family for her safety. Damon had discovered who she was before she was old enough to mate with him but it had not stopped him from trying to seduce her as a young child they had whisked her away as a young girl who already held the promise of the beauty she was to become. He had discovered where she had been placed and gone after her again when she was a young teen
The training had been intense, the Warlock had explained to Lucas that they had to be in prime condition, mentally and physically to defeat the Vampyres. He looked across at Katya she was sparring with the Warlock, who helped with the training even though he would not be joining them at the battle, with his Coven he would be nearby helping through the magic. He could feel the blackness surrounding his Luna, the Pack would beat the Vampyre but it was going to cost her very dearly, he just hoped she was strong enough to survive what was coming for her. He wanted to warn her to help her prepare for the darkness that would engulf her but it would mean his death. The Goddess had told him why he had been chosen to help the Silver Wolf birth her daughter and that he would be rewarded. Unless he told her what he knew and then they would make him suffer, he had a mate and four children back in their lands, and from what he saw Katya was tougher than all the females he had ever met and her bond
The gasps from the other Vampyres echoed around the cave none of them would have dared stand up to him like she did but Blaise was incensed by his patronising tone and stepping forward she bared her teeth in a snarl then turned to face the others ‘We would be stronger together with the other Immortal Packs. What can we do alone? Even if you do manage to raise a human Army, you won't win, the Immortals are far more powerful and we will all be destroyed. It is time for us to unite, and join the Immortal cause, we are part of it and we need to be part of it.’‘So my little Granddaughter, you would dare to challenge me?’The Prince walked towards her his black eyes locked on hers and to Katya’s surprise she held her ground,‘Someone needs to get through to you Grandfather. Why can’t you see isolating the Vampyres from all Immortals won’t work? We need to move on and stop living in the past. Joining the other Immortals is the right thing to do, we are all in this together.’As she watched
He wants to rape you, Vampyres use sex to control the females they capture, you must be careful he will do what he can to make you pregnant and be able to keep you. If you need us touch the amulet and we will know and use our powers to help you as much as we can.’ He placed his hand on the top of her head and she closed her eyes letting his reassurance seep into her body and then gently licked his hand to show she understood. He gave an almost imperceptible nod and she turned to race off through the trees watching her sadly the Warlock called his people to him and led them into a clearing where they began to chant the incantations to activate the amulet he had given her. They held hands and formed a circle then they became still waiting to protect the young Luna with all of the power they had.Katya had no recollection of leaving Lucas’ side or re-entering the
Her eyes glowed molten silver as she freed Blaise,‘I think it is time your Grandfather learned to respect the female of the species don’t you?’She told her and Blaise grinned at her,‘I will take you to him’She said and then led her through the dark tunnels of the Vampyre lair Katya was surprised there were no Guards, when she questioned Blaise her reply was‘He would never believe we could escape, he is that arrogant he believes all females are inferior to him.’Blaise informed her and Katya shook her head at such male pride, the Vampyre Prince was in for a shock. Closing her eyes she leaned against the wall searching for him with her mind and she found him in the Main Hall getting ready to address his people once again. Reaching out she touched her hand to Blaise's mind linking her so she could show her what he was up to,‘He is going to announce that he has you captive and when your Mate arrives to rescue you he will kill him and take charge of all the Immortals.’Blaise reporte
He had no idea she had freed herself from it and continued to pump into her but she stilled and drew the power from the amulet inside her feeling it merge with her magic he grunted in annoyance and felt her withdraw from him. Then he pulled out and looked at her with a sneer, 'I will mate you when that Alpha arrives to watch my dominance.' He glared at her trying to face her down as she gazed steadily back at him but then he made the mistake of turning his back on her. He was so confident of his powers he thought she would obey him again still believing she was under his compel. Katya took advantage bunching her powerful muscles she broke free from the cuffs and sprang at him her snarl making him turn towards her as she landed on his back her teeth fastening on his jugular. She heard the screams from the other Vampyres but all her concentration was on the devil locked in her jaws she shook him hard like a rag doll and then brought her jaws together severing his head from his shoulders
