His position did not give him all that much free time. He had to see to his people and their needs. The requests coming in and also the portals. There was a threat again, and while they had been here Kal had come up. Kal informed him that a few ghoul like creatures were creeping around the edges of the woods looking up toward the caves. They were all very aware of who probably sent them. However with Aries leaving he asked Kal to stay.
“I mean Sybil seems to know what she’s doing.” They were watching the three women that were in a kind of empty workroom. They had put several tables together. A fire was going in the hearth down the way. It warmed the room, but was also being used by the witches. There were jars and all so

A dark haired man stood before a medium sized cave entrance. His yellow eyes were void of kinder things. He curled a lip at the entrance pissed at how long it was taking. This cave system was massive and he could not find another way to get his creatures up the mountain without being noticed. He glanced up toward the snow covered peaks. Velex nearly hissed displeasure looking in the direction of the keep with the race he hated most. One that had nearly killed him. “I’ll kill them if it’s the last thing I do.” He meant that too. Velex felt a rage thinking about the last Prime left and how fucking hard it was to kill the son of a bitch. All his attempts were failing, he was now angry that he had no word form Jorogumo. None of her little spiders had crept down the mountain in some time. She was supposed to contact once a month. His gaze came back to

Sybil sighed looking up from the book that she was reading through. Her gaze looked over the back of the soft couch she was sitting on. Her gaze was thoughtful and looked out the window. She rubbed her healed shoulder. Just a faint pink scar now.Several days had passed since the incident with Varla. She knew that Aries had killed her. Sybil wished he didn’t have to but she also understood. As much as Sybil wished there wasn’t violence in the world. in this one you could not afford to be soft. Aries couldn’t, all she could hope was that it was just and decisions were made fairly. She may have angered her, but Sybil was not one for cruelty.Over the past few days, she had only seen Aries a handful of times. He’d always asked how her shoulder was healing, clearly not liking she was wounded. She secretly kind of like the constant anno
Mate of an Alpha Prime 27. A Gentle Kiss
Sybil heard his deeper laugh at her comment as they moved into the new area. This one was older and different. Still a greenhouse of a type. There were plants growing here but most looked sad or unhealthy. Still she noted some very rare plants in here. Her mind instantly identifying them and logging them away. This was an area that had flora for her craft or other uses. Instantly she had the urge to move forward and start interacting with the flora. She sighed inwardly, she really did have multilayers to her talent. What Niba had said seemed to make more sense now. “This part seems old. It has so much in here.” The floors were stone and the whole place was a dome. She could see that this had been a type of greenhouse for a long time. There was even a kind of tree growing in the center. If her senses were right it was an Ancestry Tree. In the plant world they were considered immortal flora that didn’t die
Mate of an Alpha Prime 28. Feeling Secure
Aries looked at the burning pyre. It was being used to dispose of the ghouls and few demon creatures that Aries and his warriors had spent the last three days hunting down. They had cleared the woods and were now setting up a stronger perimeter. They had to clear them as it was obvious that the numbers were slowly growing. Aries could not let that happen. Now the area was clear and several of his were moving around purifying the area. This would send a message to Velex as well. He was clearly responsible for all of it.Aries glanced up at the blue sky. Honestly he couldn’t remember the last time the sun was out. It was glaring on the snow. Still the warmth of it felt nice, and perhaps the snow would melt some. He’d been told that other groups were also fighting back or trying to. It was still hard everywhere. Mortals, even with magic struggled with the darker creatures that were taking ov
Mate of an Alpha Prime 29. Yes or No Sybil
Aries came back into the keep leaving the ones he’d been with. It would seem that his people were very serious about wanting to have their festivities again. He was fine with it, he wanted it too. It was nice to feel like they once had. Though he was feeling a bit exhausted after the long day today. At least the weather was holding nicely. He and several of his men had scouted a trail up to the large cave entrance a short distance above them. This entire mountain range was scattered with inter-connecting cave systems. It was so very easy to get lost in there. Once inside a cave like that even their eyes would not see in the darkness. However this particular entrance was close to the dragons. He knew that Velex had to negative a very long distance in. So there was that saving grace. Tomorrow he was going to be taking Sybil up to see the barrier and what
Mate of an Alpha Prime 30. A Taste of Pleasure
“Yes.” Sybil said and felt her heart trying to escape her rib cage as she said the word. He seemed relieved and the way he looked at her then was so very heated. He leaned forward and met her lips, that gentle coaxing. She immediately responded to that and could feel just how tense he was this time. That he was really trying to keep it slow. That alone told her more than words he really was thinking of her.Sybil went back as he came over her. She thought she’d have more of an issue than she did with him. She let him deepen the kiss taking that masculine taste in. He was completely over her, a knee on either side of her hips. His hand left her hair and slipped below the shirt she had. There was a warm warn feel to his hand as it slowly slid up her side. His thumb brushed at the edge of the soft bra she wore. He easily slid his thumb below the material just softly caressing the soft

Sybil grabbed a very small pack of things. She wasn’t exactly sure what she was going to need. She then left the stores and headed up to the main entrance where she knew that Aries was waiting. He had only mentaly spoken to her a short bit ago. Just where to meet him and when they would be leaving.Since they were going to be outside for a good day or so she had on warm clothes and grabbed a cloak that was really thick but light. Along with her she brought a couple special drinks if she were to get cold, plus some foods too.She smoothed the deep blue sweater she wore, shifting the cloak over her arm. She was feeling nervous again. She let out a rush of air.It was kind of odd though, she was really excited to be honest to see Aries. Yet felt like she was going to lose all of the contents of her stomach on the floor. Especially if he looked at her wi

“Can I ask about your moon chase?” Sybil once more asked questions. They had paused for a moment to get down and stretch. Now they were moving again. “There wasn’t much written and I only got a few minutes with Tika and Aubury yesterday to ask.” Aries brought his attention back to her. He’d drifted off in thoughts for a moment. Oddly he felt this excitement he beat down. She was just asking to know, not participate. He would not get his hopes up like that.“What do you wish to know?” He glanced down at her. She was looking about and lifted her hood up as she seemed a bit cold. He was fine. His thicker clothes and coat sufficient for him at the moment.“Tell me how it is done, the significance to it or parts of it.” To him there was no longer a reason to minimize what he was telling her.

“Are you sure Zekiel?” Aries asked looking back up the mountain. It was a long hard fight with the demon army over the past few months. Pushing them back across the land and farther south. A few other dragons had chosen to wake but the rest still wished to slumber. They were not interested in being awake when there were no mates known to be left. Or even where they were. None were sure now even were the mated dragons might be through the portals it was that long ago. ‘Yes.’ Came his deep voice. Aries stood out on a terrace that put him level with the dragon’s face. ‘We will remove the rocks and I will go through. He needs to be found Aries, and I want to do it. I want to see him dead for all he’s done. So do others including you. Velex will be found and he will be dealt w

Aries passed into the massive cavern that had the dullest blue glow in here. He saw the large sleeping forms but didn’t stop at any of them. He raced through searching for the one he needed, scenting for him. He felt like it was taking forever and yet barely a few minutes passed. Still he was starting to descend into panic the longer it took. The longer Sybil was being chased by Velex. He kept his mind open, feeling her, knowing she was still alive.As he came to the back he found the one he was looking for. A huge dark colored dragon. In the light it was hard to tell his color. Aries knew it was an iridescent black that would have a deep blue appearance in the right light. Though the color did not matter. Aries pretty much slammed into the side of the dragon. Then leapt up and over him before coming down hard on his head and just missed getting stuck by the shorter horns on the back of his hea
Mate of an Alpha Prime 48. Necessary Choices
Sybil managed to get to the mage and she practically landed on him. She was starting to get her breath back. He gave a cry of pain as she landed on his fresh wounds. The nerve endings raw from the fire. She gripped the box with him. He tried to pull it away but was unable to as she was stronger. He looked at her with pleading eyes.“You don’t understand, my granddaughter. I have to.” Sybil felt his despair and yet in her heart she knew that one life now meant everyone’s life later.“We can’t, you know we can’t. She will die too.” She reasoned as his fingertips dug into the edge to open it.“I can’t. You’ll understand one day.” Sybil held on to the box and kept her gaze solid on his.“What

“Hey.” Sybil said looking up at Aries with warning. “Stop that, you can relax. I’d have thought having me for two days would calm you down.” Sybil stated looking up at him. Aries had slipped his hand into the cloak she wore. It moved under her shirt to slide along her skin. Sybil sure felt sore once the heat wore off, but she sure didn’t regret it. She definitely let him even after, still desiring him too.“If you are hoping I will get tired of you, you are going to be sorely disappointed.” Aries told her looking down at her. They were using a snow prin again to go up to the cave. They didn’t want to run and use up energy they might need. Sybil had to take a couple more days to fix the drink. Neither of them could afford to react like they had that first time. Whether her receptivity was responsible for it or not. All Sybil had to say was if she h
Mate of an Alpha Prime 46. Receptive
Aries was looking down at the large wooden table. On the surface of it was what looked like a burned in map. It was actually created with magic, so you could make the map shift. Expand or zoom in if you would. Still it was just lines and names. depictions of towns. They might not have computers like Sybil’s old home, but they had other things. He was looking at where Velex had paused his army. Aries had his own line above the bottleneck where Velex would have to march them through.“I think he’s going to rush them. The fastest will move through first. Then the slower but stronger will follow. So it’s the choice of which we let through to fight and who set the traps off for.” Daral said and a good number of his top warriors were in this room. Aries just stood with his arms crossed. This was going to get bloody.“We are g

“Okay.” Sybil said, looking at her one bowl and one jar. Now was finally a good time to test. She’d been side tracked a bit the past few days. Tika had gone into labor a bit early and Sybil had been asked to give aid. Tika had been in labor for nearly a full day before she gave birth. So it was helping to keep her comfortable and monitor her. Sybil took note of all that was used and happened. She wanted to know so she could see if there was anything she could do or make for the next to help at least with the pain.They did not have the kind of drugs that her home world did. Not that you were going to stop labor pains completely. It was different for everyone from what she heard. Lastly being part of it, Sybil saw just how much Tika’s child meant to the rest. The first birth in so long. He was healthy and strong. No adverse effect to the little one, and it just seemed to elevat

Aries was exhausted as he opened the door to Sybil’s room and went in. He closed it softly, the predawn light was barely there. It had taken longer than he wanted to get back. Still had to check in with a few others that were guarding and now he finally got to just lay down. He didn’t even question where he was going to go and rest either. He would go where she was. The moment he entered the room her scent just surrounded him.It was wonderful, and now mixed with the wild scent his people held. He could smell her animal there now and it called to him. It also made him feel giddy and relaxed at the same time. He moved around the bed and looked at her form. She was breathing evenly if not a bit deeply. He moved in sliding below the covers and immediately pulled her to him. Her back had been to him so it was easy.He was sore everywhere, an

“Sybil.” Tika said clearly uncomfortable and kept moving a lot. “Can you just give me something to make this kid come?” Sybil smiled at her as she was helping pack some of the foods away. Since the fighting had started several days ago, a lot of the warriors had been called down to lower parts. Duties had been shifted and she was helping in the kitchen today. Happy to help, she told Tika to sit as she kept leaning on things.“How about just some pain management instead? He’ll come when he’s ready.” Sybil stated. A couple others in the kitchen laughed a bit.“I feel for you Tika. I remember my last week carrying Tre, I was so done with it. Swear to the moon goddess he was kicking my spine or bladder all the time.” Helena stated and there were smiles.
Mate of an Alpha Prime 42. Sending a Message
“I want this known, and I want it known now!” Aries shouted to those here. His message would be heard and he was at his final straw. At this rate they just might have to flee. Others needed to stand up and fight with him. “If they get up to the portals that is it! This line up the mountain is the last defense for us here to live. Me and mine have been up and down this entire range fighting and putting ourselves in great danger to keep the demons from getting the last portion of magic we have keeping us alive! What do any of you think will happen if he gets up the mountain? Velex will have direct access to our ley lines! No one will be alive after that. No one, our winters are longer, our flora and fauna are dying. The magic is leaving and all of us rely on it to stay alive. You will not be a pet to demon, you will be food when the magic runs out and our world collapses. If you rather an end as a dem
