EMMA Today would be step one in our multi-step plan. We needed to ensure that Asry would know about the Ball. There were people here in Aedrul who were working with him, so we would use that to our advantage. We would be venturing outside of the castle today for two reasons. One was a tour of our beautiful kingdom, and two was so that we could plant some information to get back to Asry. He would have people watching us. We did not doubt the loyalty of the servants in the castle because they were loyal to Papa. That would just mean that people outside of the castle would be watching us. So, I would be doing what I did best and lay some traps. We would take note of anyone who was following us around today. We were all very skilled at noticing when we were being watched, so that was a benefit in our favor. I had gotten a chance to talk to Brody some more. He was certainly a gifted pup. Jackson and Lilli agreed to allow Macario to test his ability. Macario explained that gifted wolves h
XANDER “Emmaline! Again,” a man barked out. I looked around, confused about what was going on. Kai stood beside me and appeared to be just as confused as I was. The last thing I remembered was falling asleep with my love in my arms after a great round of sex. The three of us had been fully sated for the time being. Sex with our girl was always mind-blowing. She thrived in our personal brand of animalistic hunger. She came to us virginal, but we thoroughly corrupted her in the most delicious ways possible. We were standing in the middle of a room that was obviously meant for training. Weapons lined the marble walls. There were windows that casted bright sunlight throughout the room, illuminating stone pillars and archways that were covered in artwork depicting battles. They looked a lot like the dreams that Emma shared after the Nokaura attack at the bar. A young blonde pup pulled herself up off the ground and wiped the blood from her lips. She was a just a pup, but those eyes were
EMMA I really prayed that today would not be a shit show. There were many things that could go horribly wrong. Barachiel and Nae insisted that we needed to all go as a show of strength and dedication. They understood what this would do, but they still insisted that it was for the best. Nae had a child that she loved more than anything in this world and a mate that she loved just as much. They completed the bond the same day that Ethan found out that she was his mate. He told her that they had both waited long enough and could not wait another day to be tied to her and Brian forever. My Dipshit was quite romantic it seemed. Kestian, Barachiel, and Py all had mates now which was something that went against Gaisreen traditions. It was clear to see that they all cared for one another too. Gaisreen believed that love and fondness were nothing but a weakness. Not to mention that their mates were part of our species instead of Gaisreen. Shifters and wolves in general were not really favore
EMMA I would take him with me one way or another. That boy deserved better than what his father was giving him. This was something I truly hated about Gaisreen. It was not fair that the boy could be hurt because he was worried for his mother and loved her. Seriously, like the fuck. “Have him,” he said with an indignant huff. My fist cocked back, and I threw it as hard into his face as possible. He was knocked out cold but not dead. My fist had done some serious damage though. The medics would probably just rebirth him instead of taking the time to fix him. He was lucky that it was all I did. I turned around and knelt in front of the little boy. I tore part of my shirt off and gently wiped the blood away from his face. “My name is Emma. What’s yours, sweetheart?” I asked with a soft smile. I did not want to frighten the boy, especially after what I just did to his father. “Dylan,” he said quietly. Dylan was a young boy probably no more than eleven or twelve. He was tall for his ag
EMMA The guards outside of the General’s tent eyed us with open hostility. I hated that my family was being subjected to their prejudice. It was not fair for them at all. It was taking all of my self-control to refrain from ripping the bastards to shreds. “I request an audience with General Madelina,” I said as I tried my best to keep the irritation out of my voice with how they were looking at my people. The guards snapped their gazes to me and looked me over from head to toe. I felt the possessiveness and anger rolling through the mate-bond, but we could not have that right now. ‘Don’t act or respond to them. They’ll kill all of us if they feel threatened,’ I told my mates, hoping that they would understand the gravity of the situation. I felt their reassurance through the bond. I heard the other Gaisreen whispering the same things to their mates. This had to be dealt with properly, or it would be game over for us all. This was why Nae and Barachiel insisted on bringing all the
EMMA I explained what power trafficking was, and they listened intently without interrupting. They understood how hard this was on me, and I appreciated them letting me get it out while I could. Power trafficking was somewhat similar to the Ancestral Slave Trade. Instead of using people for ancestral blood, power traffickers used them for their essence. Every creature contained an essence within their bodies. Every essence held a certain level of power. The stronger the essence then the stronger the power. Alphas, for example, held very strong essences because of the power that coursed through them. In Fae terms, the Clave was the equivalent to the Alpha. Sirens held some of the strongest essences among any species because they held an ancient and pure magic within each and every one of them. Those with gifts held even stronger essences than anyone else. Then there were the humans. Human essences replenished even though no other species did. Humans could also be blessed with gifts.
KAI Doll had been hesitant regarding Dylan’s vision at first, but she began to see how crucial it was for these people. She always hated the lifestyle of the Gaisreen. She mourned over truly heartbreaking things when the others saw no point in it. She even explained it a bit more to us so that we could have a better understanding of what she meant when she said that she felt different than almost all Gaisreen. During her first battle, there was a group of twenty-five humans who had been tortured, brutalized, and murdered by the Nokaura. Many of them were only children. Instead of just leaving their bodies discarded on the ground like they were nothing, Doll took the time to move them all to the side and buried them so that they could hopefully find peace after what the Nokaura had done to them. Her fellow Gaisreen taunted and made fun of her because she felt her heart breaking for those souls. We had all been severely pissed off when Doll issued that challenge, but we understood why
EMMA The crowd regarded me with varying levels of expressions. Many were expressionless. Some were mortified at what Madelina did to me. Some were even sneering at me. I could already tell how this was going to go. Before the title could officially be given to me, people were allowed to challenge me. It was a death challenge since it was a title challenge. I already explained this to my mates because we could not appear weak if a challenge was issued. We were all three Alphas, and this was no different than a challenge for the Alpha title. They were reluctant but agreed. “Caliphine herself visited an Oracle boy last night to explain that the Gaisreen current way of life is not how it should be. The first ones of our kind fought alongside each other because of the bond of brotherhood and sisterhood. There was love between parents and children. Caliphine is not pleased with our apathy and brutality. She chose her worthiest vessel to fix this. The same vessel that that Caliphine chose
