-CLEO'S POV- Why would visitors be here? Being cautious, I went into defense mode and prudently strolled over to the door. I peeked through the peephole and saw a sophisticated man and stylish woman standing with Zoe in the center. Who were they? I opened the door halfway and the classy youthful woman smiled brilliantly at me. Her brown eyes sparkled with glee as she tucked stray strands of her wavy burgundy brown hair behind her right ear. The sexy black double-breasted, slim-fitted two-piece suit with stilettos that she wore, put together well with the black purse in her hand made her able to turn any man’s eye. While the suave man was dressed in a monochromatic ensemble of a solid black formal shirt and pants, looking me up and down, scrutinizing me. Though he had ash-brown hair and light beige eyes, his face was vaguely familiar. "Why the fuck do you have my daughter?" I was prepared to mutilate them whether they were aristocrats or not for interfering with my daughter. Tog
-CLEO’S POV- “Hello, Gamma Female. My name is Malik.” He bowed, “Gamma Blayne instructed me to deliver this to you.” In his hands was a large brown enclosed cardboard box. He raised his hands and I took it. Zoe tiptoed inquisitively, thinking that would have been enough height to help her to see what was inside. I chuckled. “Thank you, Malik.” The box was heavier than Malik made it seem. “Has Blayne returned?” “No ma’am. He is out of territory with the Alpha.” Malik politely replied and delved into his shirt pocket to hand me a card. “This is my number, alongside two of our Senior Elites. We are here to serve you should you need anything until our Gamma returns.” “Zoe, honey, could you take the card for me?” I peered down at her and she obeyed. Malik smiled at her and bowed to me. “Gamma Cleo.” Once his head was raised, he disappeared in a split-second flash. I closed the door with my right foot and went to the long leather couch with Zoe sitting opposite me. My pinkie nail pu
-CLEO’S POV-After messing with Darlene, I wondered how Blayne would react when the news got out. Malik reluctantly came with me. I did not give him a choice in the matter. He whined pathetically that escorting me to the fetish club might result in Blayne killing him. Additionally, I had breached confinement, which would be another scale of punishment for him. Nervously, he stood by and watched me serve the bitch up a torturous session.See, I replied to her email and told her that I’d be at the fetish club and at what time. I figured that Blayne was very dominant in the bedroom and so I ordered her to make preparations for me. She had to inversely handcuff herself to the end of the bed facing down.Wearing a mask, as directed by Malik, I arrived with a whip in my hand. Malik handled the bouncers at the front of the detached three-story building. I had on tight-fitted high-waist black jeans and a black corset top. My blonde hair was loosely down and combed back, and minimal makeup.Fr
-CLEO’S POV- Two days passed before I saw Blayne again, a little past midnight. My heart did somersaults of happiness when Blayne's scent pummeled through the apartment. The front door opened and closed. I jerked up in bed like an anxious kitten, impatient to see him. “Hi baby,” he said upon entering the bedroom and headed straight to the bathroom, closing the door. No greeting kiss, humph. My eyes narrowed at his eccentric behavior. Was that all the greeting he was going to give me? It seemed distant and chilling. I chewed the gums of my inner cheek while waiting for him to come out of the bathroom. He took the longest shower ever! Finally, he was done and came out half-dry in a white towel. I tried not to linger on how amazing his body was. My skin jumped and tickled with excitement every time he moved. At last, his gaze fell on me. Those hypnotic brown eyes ….oh goddess, they affected the course of my heartbeat and I yearned for him to dominate me. Ground-shaking flutters eme
-BLAYNE’S POV- “What are you doing?” The early morning sun was already up when I came home from patrolling the borders to find Cleo packing her suitcases in the closet. All three were open as she went back and forth with clothes from the hanger and drawers. She was freshly showered in a blue and white striped camisole top and blue jeans shorts. Smelling heavenly, her hair was in a messy bun on top. I could gawk at her forever in amazement. It’s fucking insane how everything she does makes me want to compliment her. “I am moving out.” She moved around in the closet gathering her clothes from the hangers. “Why?” Stunned, I grasped her arms to hold her still. My heart was breaking and my wolf howled inside of me. The mate bond snagged at me with a burning gash. She rolled up the yellow yoga pants in her hands and dropped it into the suitcase. “It’s not fair for me to continue the living arrangements when my people are lacking on many levels. It’s causing a rift between us. I should b
-BLAYNE'S POV- Cleo was angry with me. She was frustrated with the interval in the integration process. More of her people came down from the mountains today. Those were the injured ones who had partially recovered and could make the journey. It’s been three days since I returned with Jasmine from Crimson Hyde Pack. She was Curtis’ mate who connected Chloe to the witch of the Starfall Enchanted Sisters coven. Had Vance been there, she would have died instantly. Alpha Virgil pleaded on behalf of his Beta Astrol for leniency to spare her life. He hoped that the brotherly bond would have awarded some benevolence. Since the witch queen, Ophelia, felt obligated to defend her species, Vance mostly maintains Jasmine's life in order that she might testify in support of the murder accusations against the witch. Chloe’s actions were unforgivable. I looked forward to being an uncle and of course, training him under Vance’s watch. Now that the baby was gone and the funeral held, an ominous cl
-CLEO’S POV- Blayne was being impossible! The housebound was abolished, howbeit he wanted me to stay in the apartment like a blasted house rat. He was probably in a bad mood due to the argument we had this morning. I was the same. We argued and made up, and then argued again. The confinement of the dwelling made it insufferable to stay there. Blayne should hurry up with options that I could use to make my people feel contented. They were still homeless, alienated, and restless. The date tonight had better be worth it or else I will move out. Today, as usual, I went to the camping site. Even though Sheldon was usually helpful to everyone, his snobbery persisted. He had a genuine love for our people. The thing that disturbed them the most was what I was doing away from them. Was I having fun with my mate or badgering the Alpha King about our plight? The arrest remained untold. Again, I gave them a lengthy speech and reassured them that we were working on habitats while we set up add
-CLEO’S POV- Undiluted lust possessed us, driving me wild. In the fervid silence, our eyes appreciated each other’s bodies. His sexiness exuded from the black shirt with a white bike printed on the front that he wore with his taut muscles bulging underneath. My mouth salivates. The incendiary pleasure that his stare granted was different from what I felt this morning. My wolf was virtually humping the ground in my head, rolling around to sniff his scent while I had my eyes half closed from the electrical signals he transmitted through my body. My teeth began to hurt, and I felt the impulse to claim him. My tongue pleaded for just a taste since I wasn't used to this feverish pitch-black glare in his eyes. Fixed on mine, they drew me in, along with his lush lips. “All mine,” he whispered like he was daring me to defy him. He wipes his tongue across his upper lips, showing fangs. He quickly put his hands around my waist, pulling my body into his while I blinked in shock. My head was f
-VANCE’S POV-Looking up from the laptop with concern, I found Sianna sultrily shimmying out of her dress. My lips parted to the slightest bit and my cock hardened. Our wanton eyes clashed. She raised a brow at me and sashayed her sexy body towards me.The conference was still going on and I couldn’t let them see her in that incredibly salacious lingerie, but I couldn’t take my heated eyes off her.“I came to join the meeting.” She teased in such a sexy way that made a growl slip from me.The soft lines of her hips and thighs had my cock stiffening in my pants. Her hips swayed in that sheer lingerie set in black lace with a crotchless G-string. The rosy nipples of her round breasts peeked through the matching bralette and a choker adorned her neck.The culmination of all my impulses was the need to latch onto those nipples with my lips, suck on them, and bite them down until she released that startled, demanding moan. My cock desired mainly one thing.Her.My addiction. I need to touc
-SIANNA’S POV-“Can we go home now,” Venus hoarsely pleaded with harlequin eyes, sitting up in the hospital bed of the bright sun-filled room. “I could eat some burgers, fries, and a coke.” Her gaze flickered from me to her Dad. “I’m starving.”Miriam, Marlena, Vance, Hailey, Mom, and I laughed as she said that. A sigh of relief left me as I looked at my daughter who was back to her old self after receiving the antidote. A lot of love flowed through the room.It’s been two weeks since she has been comatose. Can you imagine how thrilled I was when my mate told me about the antidote to get all of the kripling’s blood out of her system? We arranged everything for the next day.Just the sight of my daughter was enough to clog my throat with tears. Mom’s slender hand was warmly in mine as Marlena and Miriam helped Venus awaken from her coma. Vance held my shoulders, standing behind me. Hailey chewed her nails, ruining her manicured fingers.“We’re almost done, princess,” Vance stated, nonc
-VANCE’S POV-A thin smile curled my lips to see him being the usual hot-blooded Gamma that he was. Instead of thinking of himself, Blayne was coercing me into another battle. Contrarily, I preferred to fix the rift between me and my Luna. There was no anger or burning sensation in the link of the mate bond, but it did not mean that she was not still upset with me.“No.” I finally answered him. “We killed their king and generals. The Supernatural Triad Council’s gatekeepers are searching for Squiggles.” I deciphered. “The werelions will be humbled by their loss and the drastic reduction in their population. It will take years before they wage war against us. It is at that time that my generation will eliminate them.”“All planned out, huh?” Blayne scowled with disappointment. Even with his limp, he managed to keep up with me.“Yep.” I dictated as we made it to the top and sniffed the air. My eyes narrowed slightly as my face wrinkled up. “You smell cheesy, Blayne. Take a few days off.
-VANCE’S POV-Approximately one hundred of our warriors lined the gray plateau at the summit of the cliff, southwest of the territory. Awe-inspiring scenery can be seen here thanks to the panoramic view of the horizon and the thundering waterfall to the right which plummets directly into the ocean.Given its natural beauty and the absence of unpleasant recollections of bloodshed, it would be a pity to tarnish the region's unblemished history today.It was the Black Ops Patrol Station at the end of Beacanview Forest that alerted Raj of our visitors. Undoubtedly, he must have gotten the word to Blayne, or maybe Blayne beat it out of him. Either way, he was not supposed to be working.“Oh damn!” I inspected my battered Gamma up and down before we went down the granite cliffside trail. “You look worse than Freddy Krueger.”My heart went out to him and, oh boy, I was thrilled that he was alive. Although, he was disobeying my orders.Blayne was in black gym shorts with his blistered top shi
-THIRD PERSON’S POV-Venus and Vaheed sat around the breakfast nook. Vaheed was busy on his phone while Venus was reading the Brew'n Herald Newspaper. The paper was previously brought in by Zuzu and she flew away to have her morning flight in the forest.“The investigation update was posted on the front page. Turns out that the kriplings only attacked us. The vampires and witches were not attacked.” Venus highlighted with her harlequin-green eyes fastened to the paper.“Who cares? Dad’s dealing with it.” Vaheed shrugged, finding his phone more entertaining.Venus was disturbed by his uncaring attitude. “Those things were pretty powerful and they hurt me. How can you say that?”Understanding that his words hurt his twin sister’s feelings, Vaheed put his phone on the table and patted her on the shoulder. “Vee, you are safe now. Dad will make sure that they don’t hurt us again.”Venus sighed, gulped down her dose of halo-moon serum from the vial on the table, and went back to flipping th
-SIANNA’S POV-“I wanted to know what my punishment is.” Valen petulantly said as he continued descending the stairs, freshly showered.“Not a good time, Valen,” Vance told him without looking behind. I turned around and picked up a magazine from the center table, blindly flipping over pages.“Well, aren’t you going to give it to me tonight?” Valen pressed with hands in his jeans pockets.“Why are you so eager?” I continued scrolling the page with brewing agitation. “Do you think we’ll go easy on you?”“It’s not that, Mom.” Valen approached the couch, sheepishly. “I just wanted to start it right now.”“Why?” I flipped my head around and turned my body on the couch to scrutinize his face properly.“My punishment will end on Friday and there’s a party at Benji’s house on Saturday,” Valen dared to mention, battling an inner monologue.I glared at him. “You have the gall to tell me that you intend to go to a party when your father has just brought you back from an unapproved outing.”“Go
-SIANNA’S POV-“I’m sorry, Mom.” Valen expressed his regret as he entered the foyer of our home with Vance. He did not let me lash out at him for his recklessness.Automatically, I placed my hand over my heart. My entire body slumped in relief as I exhaled heavily. Still, he was going to get the hot seat.I sat in the living room on the long U-shape black leather couch with my head turned in his direction. “Valen, I can’t accept that apology until you explain to me what the hell was going through your head.”Vance stood by the Faux Marble White console table with a gold base, allowing me to handle our son's latest escapade. He would also feel the scourge of my tongue later.It was a little before sunset that Vance and the team went back to the aircraft carrier ship. The journey to Dark Wolverson was long from Oscianever Loch of the Pacific Ocean and so it was the next day in the afternoon when they arrived home. I fretted the entire sleepless night, watching the hours and praying that
-VANCE’S POV-My razor-sharp teeth flashed through the cold smile that I sent to Assad when Raj kneed Tygart into his crotch. Tygart’s eyes went as round as saucers as he dropped his knife, protectively clutched both hands before his family jewels, and fell to his knees. He was as vulnerable as a newly hatched chick coming out of its shell.In a rapid dash, Raj picked up the weapon and slit his neck. Tygart fell on his side and clutched his blood-leaking throat as his life slipped away right before his king and brother.Assad wrestled like crazy to be freed from my grip to no avail. He was powerless and helpless. The defeat eliminated any spark in his orange eyes. “We surrender,” his voice was a hoarse croak.“It doesn’t work like that, trog.” I gritted to Assad as fury rose, burning through my veins.In the meantime, muscles bulged in Kodjo's pallid neck as he ground his teeth in frustration, refusing to relent. As the tenuous seconds ticked by, his breathing labored during the kickb
-VANCE'S POV-Nyx returned in an ethereal white glow and spat out a dead fizzing repulsive form of a kripling and laid it down on the deck of the only ship left intact. He shook his large white head, flashing out his tongue at the distaste of the creature.Nyx set afire the dead kripling that burns into cinders. One down. Two to go. Next, Zuzu, materialized on the deck with the necromancer in one claw and a flailing Assad in the other."Tell her to take them to the shoreline of the first island," I told Valen, and he directed his guardians to do so.With that, all the jets altered their destination to Holmeva Ferney Islands. We found a clearing and managed to land.Alongside five elite warriors, Duke, Raj, Marlena, Valen, Devin and I trotted through a scanty area of bayberry and beach plum trees to the beach. My elites stood behind the criminals with their artillery leveled at them while we stood in front of them.The sea air arrived with a lofty nostalgic draft as blood, death, and s
