The Council Is Here

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-26 22:19:53

Ramon’s POV

It’s always a strange thing to feel the weight of centuries settle onto your shoulders. The years pile up like dust, each one carrying its own lessons, its own burdens.

I’ve seen kingdoms rise and fall, watched empires crumble under their own ambition, and felt the sting of betrayal more times than I can count. I’ve lost so much more than I care to remember. But in all my years, I’ve never encountered something like Jasmine.

She’s… different. There’s a fragility to her, a beauty in the way she tries to understand the world when it’s turned upside down. But there’s also power. Power that calls to me, not just because of the bond that ties us together, but because she holds the kind of strength that can either save or destroy us all.

I feel her uncertainty like a wound between us. She’s still unsure of her place in this world, still haunted by her Ailuranthrope side, that strange part of her that even I don’t fully understand. And the worst part is, I can’t shield her from

Her soft, steady breathing fills the silence between us, and I can’t help but trace the curve of her neck with my fingers, memorizing every detail.

    Ramon’s POVTonight, the air has a tinge of suffocating tension to it. The storm that’s been brewing for days, finally seems to have broken, but a different kind of storm looms on the horizon, one I’m not entirely sure we’re prepared for.Jasmine stirs beside me, her breath even, but I know better than to think she’s asleep. Even in her rest, her mind races. It’s part of who she is, the legacy of her dual nature, the constant pull between her wolf and Ailuranthrope sides. They’re both waking, pushing, testing the boundaries of her body and mind. It’s only a matter of time before they’re forced to reconcile.I reach over and brush a strand of hair from her face. Her skin is still warm from our earlier moments of intimacy, and the bond between us pulses quietly beneath the surface. But there’s something else beneath the softness in her expression, a shadow that follows her everywhere.“You’re awake,” I murmur, my voice low, filled with the need to comfort her, even as I feel the weight

    Ramon’s POVThe tension thickens as the intruder takes another step forward. His presence is like a black hole, drawing in every ounce of light and warmth. Jasmine stands behind me, her aura shimmering with defiance despite the fear she tries to mask. She’s so brave, my mate, my sweet Jasmine. It only makes my resolve to protect her stronger.“I warned you,” I growl, my voice laced with centuries of authority. The predator in me rises, ancient instincts sharpening my senses. This fool dared to step into my territory, to threaten what is mine. He will regret it.“Do you think you can keep her from me?” the figure sneers, his voice echoing unnaturally. “She belongs to us all. Ailuranthropes were never meant to mate with only one. They were meant to be shared, to spread their power.”My fists clench. The words are vile, spoken with the arrogance of someone who doesn’t understand the depth of a true mate bond. “She belongs to no one,” I snap. “She is my mate, my equal. And you won’t touch

    Jasmine’s POVThe silence feels heavier than the fight that just ended. My breath comes in shallow bursts as I stare at the spot where the intruder’s body dissolved into ash. The acrid scent of magic and death lingers in the air, making my wolf growl uneasily. I wrap my arms around myself, willing my racing heart to slow down.Ramon stands before me, a shadowy figure against the dim light. His shoulders are tense, and his fists are still clenched, though the danger has passed. His face is unreadable, but I know him well enough to sense the storm brewing inside him.“They’re coming for me,” I whisper, my voice trembling. The weight of it all presses down on me, the fights, the danger, the fact that I’m the cause of it. “They won’t stop, Ramon.”He turns to me, his crimson eyes softening. “You’re not the cause of this, Jasmine,” he says firmly, as if reading my mind. He crosses the room in a flash, his hands cupping my face with a tenderness that makes my chest ache. “This isn’t your fa

    Jasmine’s POVThe fireplace fills the room with warmth, but it’s Ramon’s presence that truly comforts me. He sits behind me on the bed, his strong arms wrapped around my waist as if he’s afraid to let go. His chin rests lightly on my shoulder, and his steady breath tickles my neck.For a moment, the world outside doesn’t exist. The battles, the dangers, the fractured pieces of who I am, all of it fades away in the quiet intimacy of this moment.“You’re awfully quiet, my Lord.” I murmur with a cheeky smile, tilting my head slightly to glance at him. Just trying to lighten the heavy mood. His crimson eyes meet mine, glowing faintly in the firelight. “I’m thinking,” he says, his voice a low rumble.“About?” I ask though I have an inkling what he's thinking about. “You,” he replies simply, a small smile tugging at his lips. “About how you’ve faced so much and yet you’re still here. Still fighting.”A lump forms in my throat at his words. “I don’t feel strong,” I admit softly. “Half the ti

    Ryker’s POVThe wind howls through the desolate packhouse, its emptiness echoing louder than the voices in my head. Once, these halls bustled with life, wolves bowing their heads as I strode through, their Alpha, their strength. Now, silence reigns, and every shadow mocks me with her name. Jasmine.I slam my fist into the oak table in front of me, splintering it with a sickening crack. The shards fly, some embedding into my knuckles, but the pain is a distant whisper compared to the storm raging inside me. She chose him. That bloodsucking leech.I knew the bond between us had weakened, but I’d convinced myself there was still something left, some flicker of what we once were. I was wrong.The weight of that realization crushes me. She didn’t just reject me; she saw me for what I truly am. Weak. Cruel. Unworthy.I stagger to the window, looking out over the sprawling forest that surrounds the pack lands. My lands. My kingdom. Yet it feels so hollow now, as though her absence has stripp

    Jasmine’s POVRamon’s study is filled with the scent of burning herbs and ancient magic. I sit cross-legged in the center of a circle drawn with shimmering runes, my heart pounding louder than the chants Ramon is whispering in an archaic tongue. The blood moon is close, I can feel it in the way my body aches, in the way my thoughts scatter, as if every part of me is struggling to stay tethered.Ramon kneels before me, his crimson eyes blazing with determination. “The ritual will take us to the Ailuranthrope’s Realm,” he says, his voice low and steady. “It’s a place your ancestors created, a sanctuary, but also a crucible. Only the worthy can claim its power.”I swallow hard, my throat dry. “And what happens if I’m not worthy?” His lips curve into a faint, reassuring smile. “You are, Jasmine. You’ve always been. But the realm may not make it easy for you to believe that.”Before I can respond, the air around us begins to hum, the runes glowing brighter. My skin tingles as a force I can

  • Mate Bond Brawl    The Bloodmoon Awakening

    Unknown POV The night was unusually still, the air thick with an unexplainable energy. Jasmine stood on the balcony of Ramon’s mansion, her gaze locked on the horizon where the moon began to rise. But tonight, it wasn’t the familiar silvery glow she’d grown accustomed to. This moon was tinged with crimson, its ominous hue casting eerie shadows across the garden below.Her chest tightened as an ache bloomed deep within her, an ache that wasn’t physical but primal, ancient. Her fingers gripped the railing, knuckles whitening as waves of heat rippled through her body. “Jasmine?” Ramon’s voice broke through the haze.She turned to find him standing in the doorway, his dark eyes filled with concern. Even as a vampire lord, Ramon’s presence always exuded calm authority, but tonight, there was something raw in his gaze. “The moon,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “It’s... different.”Ramon stepped closer, his hands brushing her shoulders gently. “It’s the Bloodmoon,” he said. “A rare ce

Despite the weight of his words, I try to steady myself, pulling the remnants of my strength together. But it’s hard to focus with the disturbing reality of his intentions curling around my thoughts like a snake.He said I was meant to be a vessel. A key. The very idea of it makes my blood run cold. “Stop,” I breathe, my voice trembling. “You’re lying. I’m not...”“You’re not what, Jasmine?” Kaiden interrupts smoothly, his smile widening. “You’re not the weapon that will change the course of everything? You’re not the one meant to unleash what’s been locked away for millennia? Ah, I can see the doubt in your eyes, but it’s there. It’s already part of you.”His words sink into my chest like icy daggers, but I refuse to show weakness. I am not his puppet.Ramon’s hand tightens around mine, and I can feel t

    Jasmine’s POVIt’s over. At least, that’s what I want to believe. But deep in my chest, a cold knot tells me otherwise. The darkness may have been sealed away, but there’s something else lurking just beyond the veil. I feel its presence. Like a shadow slipping through the cracks of the universe.Ramon senses it too. He stands beside me, his posture tense, every muscle coiled with readiness. His vampire nature thrums beneath his skin, and I can feel the ancient power he carries, a stark contrast to the energy now swirling around us.But for all the strength he exudes, his silver eyes flicker with concern when they meet mine. “Jasmine…” I glance up at him, trying to steady my breathing. “What is it, Ramon?”He shakes his head. “The abyss is sealed, yes, but Kaiden isn’t finished. He’s been playing a deeper game than we realized.”His words echo in the silence that follows, weighing on me. I know he’s right. The darkness is gone, but Kaiden—our enemy, the one who has manipulated and mani

Every breath feels heavy, like I’m inhaling something ancient, something that remembers.Ba-dum.Ba-dum.The heartbeat of the entity beneath us rattles through the cavern. The ground trembles, cracks like spiderwebs spreading outward. The chains holding the abyssal force flicker with eerie red runes, but they are failing.Something within me knows what this means. It has slept long enough. Ramon’s fingers tighten around mine. His presence grounds me, his power merging with mine like two flames twisting together, burning brighter instead of consuming each other.I look up at him, my chest rising and falling with the effort to contain what’s changing inside me. My body is reacting, shifting, but it’s not just the Ailuranthrope. It’s something more. It’s him. My mate.My very own ancient vampire lord. Our connection is not just a tether, it’s a catalyst.

She is close, so close, but something is trying to swallow her whole. Not a chance! Not when I still roam this world.Victor keeps pace beside me. His two daggers gleaming under the eerie glow of the prison realm. " I hope you have a plan, lord Kovah." He mutters. I bare my fangs as I respond. "Yes, we will just kill everything that stands in our way." Victor shudders and exhales slowly. "Lord Ramon, this is not a plan but a suicide mission!"I ignore him. No one, absolutely no one can talk me out of this. My fingers tighten around the hilt of my sword and dark energy crackles along the blade. I let my power surge through me. It's ancient, ruthless and unrelenting. I have spent centuries ruling the night, bending shadows to my will. However, none of it means nothing if I cannot protect my mate.

Cold air rushes past me as I plunge downward, my stomach flipping with the force of the fall. Shadows coil around my limbs, twisting, writhing, whispering..."She awakens…" "The Ailuranthrope stirs…" "She does not belong… and yet… she is ours." A sharp pang of pain lances through my skull as something slams into my mind. Visions, fragmented and ancient, flash before my eyes.A battlefield drenched in blood and moonlight. A figure wreathed in silver fire, standing before an unfathomable void. Chains. So many chains, binding something that should have never been awakened. I gasp, my lungs burning, and suddenly, I stop falling.The shadows unravel, depositing me onto solid ground. My knees hit the floor, my palms scraping against what feels like cold stone. I push myself up, heart pounding, eyes darting around. I’m no longer in the Obsidian Expanse.

Not in my realm.A smile tugs at the corner of my lips. Even stripped of her power, she refuses to yield. That fire… that spirit… It’s why I always knew she was mine."Where are we?" she demands again. I study her for a long moment before answering. “The Obsidian Expanse.” Her brow furrows. She doesn’t recognize the name. Good.I take slow steps toward her, deliberate and unthreatening, watching her every move. “This place was once a battleground during the wars of old. A place where the most powerful beings were sent when they were deemed too dangerous to roam free.” Jasmine’s jaw tightens. “A prison.” I incline my head. “For some.”Her fingers flex, as if reaching for strength she no longer has. I see the flicker of alarm in her expression, the realization that whatever connection she once had, to her Ailuranthrope side, t

The scent of ozone and ancient magic lingers in the air, a mocking trace of the portal he used. My chest heaves, rage pulsing through my veins like molten fire. My sweet Jasmine… gone.The arena erupts. The Supreme Council members jump to their feet, shouting orders, while warriors scramble in confusion. Some call for an immediate pursuit. Others, those who have always wanted Jasmine eliminated, pretend to be outraged while barely concealing their satisfaction.The two remaining ancients, Tharros Blackfire and Arinthal Starweaver, stand frozen, their expressions unreadable. This made me snap. "You fools let this happen," I snarl, turning on them, my fangs elongating. "You spoke of honor, of connection, but one of you just proved that all he cares about is possession."Tharros steps forward, his golden eyes troubled

The Supreme Council sits high on their throne, their expressions unreadable, while the gathered packs and supernatural factions whisper amongst themselves.Across from me, Ryker stands tall, his golden eyes filled with uncertainty. He had expected to fight Ramon, to prove his dominance through strength. But I refuse to let him dictate my fate. This is my fight. My choice.The air grows thick with tension as the Head Warlock of the Council raises his hand. His voice echoes across the arena. “The challenge is set. Let it begin.”The moment the words leave his lips, Ryker moves, swift and powerful. His Alpha strength is undeniable, but I have something far greater, the will to break free.He strikes first, his movements sharp and precise, but I evade him, dodging at the last moment.

His posture is stiff, his jaw locked in determination, but there’s an unease in his golden eyes as he watches me step forward, flanked by Ramon.The Vampire Lord walks towards me with slow, deliberate grace, his very presence commanding the respect of everyone present. His crimson eyes flicker with restrained fury, though his expression remains unreadable.We were summoned here because Ryker went to the Supreme Council and reported that Ramon was hiding me. The Council, desperate for control, had wasted no time calling us forth.The Head Councilor, an old warlock with sunken eyes and robes woven with silver symbols of rank, leans forward.
