EMMAKane holds up his hands and lowers his tone as he takes small slow steps toward me as he says,“Em, relax… It’s okay… Em, listen to me… It’s okay, relax…”He continues to approach me. Without thinking, I continue to back away from him until I end up on my arse, sitting on the steps to the porch. Without touching me, Kane keeps his hands where I can see them and sits next to me. I relax a little when he stops looking at me and faces the trees. He then says in a soft tone,“It’s okay, Em, you can use it as a last resort… If you can’t destroy it, then you will have no choice but to use Odette and the effect of the red moon eclipse will have on her…”It takes me a moment to catch my breath, which is a little easier now that we are not moving and he isn’t looking at me. After a few moments, he turns his attention back to me and says,“From what I understand, Ali will be back this evening to help you get ready and then Finn, Benjamin and Matt will be escorting you and her to the ceremo
EMMAIt takes everything in me to not fall back and walk by his side where I would normally be walking. We enter the castle and I look around, amazed. I never got to see this part of the castle. Being a servant, there were places that we were completely forbidden to go unless we were part of the service that was responsible for that location.I watched all the glamorously dressed females and all the smartly dressed males as they made their way through the entry of the castle and headed into a very large room. Once we entered, I could see the thrones sitting at the other end on a slightly raised stage. Off to the side was a dais, as well as two clear vitrines.I don’t know how, but I somehow lost both Ali and Finn; I walk slowly closer to the thrones and look at the vitrines. One had the King and Queen’s crowns within the other had some sort of sceptre and sword, both were covered in beautiful red gems. I turn, step to the side and back a little when the soft music stops and a loud voi
EMMALexis hisses. She looks at me and then at Master Jeremiah, and then back at me. She hisses again. She bares her fangs and lunges for me. With Odette’s help, I manage to scramble out of her way. As I move away from her, I hear Ali down our blood bond.“You must destroy the amulet… It is the only way to lift the spell…” “How?” I quickly break the connection as Lexis lunges for me once again. I whimper as her claws dig into and scrape down my hind leg. I again scramble away from her, only now I am not as quick. Hisses soon fill the room as the vampires are slowly brought out of their daze at the smell of my blood. Lexis hisses the loudest as she says,“So it is you, my Alpha wolf, come to save your beloved mate and maybe the kingdom… I’m sorry, but that is impossible. They are mine. The spell has taken care of that…”She gets to her feet and slowly stalks over to where I am still trying to crawl over the floor. I feel Ali open her blood connection as she says,“Kane says to break
JEREMIAHI have also noticed that it is starting to have an effect on those around us, like everyone within this room, including my mother. I fight the pain and fog only to surface enough to hear the Elder in front of me reciting the bonding ceremony. I repeat what I am meant to as if on autopilot or have been programmed to do.That is until he recites the part where it is a willing bonding, the amulet is pushing me with its small waves of increasing pain to say the words but my mind and every instinct inside me is still saying that this is wrong and that I am not meant to be bonding myself to this vixen but to someone else. I turn and look at Lexis but my eyes find the vision in red behind her. Lexis then leans forward and touches that amulet again, sending more pleasured pain through me and what seems to be a hidden command to continue. As soon as I start to say the pledge, I am stopped when I hear her beautiful feminine voice yell,“NO… JEREMIAH STOP!…”The next thing I know, she
THIRD PERSON Queen Isabelle shakes her head at the fuzziness that has been there for the last few months. She can’t believe what she is seeing and what she has to do. She collapses into her throne once she has banished her only son and heir, but then smiles, as she can now continue to rule over her kingdom.Queen Isabelle looks around at all the vampires standing within the room and gets back to her feet. She steps to the edge of the stage and says,“Sorry for the interruption. In light of the events just passed, I will not be passing the King's crown to my son. Everything will continue as it has been… Drink, dance, have sex and enjoy this wonderful night.”Queen Isabelle watches as everyone turns and returns to the celebration. She then walks over to the servant's door and leaves. She walks quickly and meets up with Ma'am Eve as she is just walking out of a servant's cell. She smiles,“She inside?”“Yes, your highness.”“Good, leave us.”Queen Isabelle then closes the cell door in M
JEREMIAH I sigh as I see Ali approaching; I move out of my hiding place and over to the boundary line; I don’t cross it and smile as she stops just on the other side. She then says,“Sir, Finn grabbed you some casual common clothes and placed a cooler with blood and food in the bottom…”“Thank you Ali. How is Emma?”“She was pretty banged up and your mother didn’t help when she nearly drained her once she passed judgement on you and told everyone to continue to enjoy the evening celebrations.”“I didn’t feel the bond sever. Is she okay?”“Yes, Trinity got her to stop and Kane removed the residue of the black magic from the amulet that was stopping Odette from healing her.”“Please pass on my thanks to Kane… Tell him not to go far. She may need him again…”She smiles at me and I look at her, confused, before she says,“He said that Emma is somewhat protected from the necklace she wears. He, however, won't be going far…”“Why?”“Because he is Trinity’s beloved…”Who would have thought
JEREMIAH I get to my feet, taking Mavius with me. I walk into the back room of the store and then into the kitchen. I move over to the table and sit down in one of the chairs and look up at Aiden as I say, “You might want to place your closed sign up for the rest of the night until I can get this cleaned up…” “Don’t worry about it, your Highness, help is already coming…” I look at him, confused until Aiden nods towards the door. I turn and smile, “Joesph, what are you doing here?” “Jeremiah." He bows and continues, "I have been trying to protect the people of this town since your father was killed. I gather those guards did that in there..." "Well, with a little of my help..." "And I guess they were doing something to the young female in your arms to get you involved?" “All she did was answer their question truthfully, and they said she was disrespectful. I stopped them before they could…” I look down at the young female in my arms and whisper into her ear, “Go rest. You ar
EMMA I try to slowly open my eyes, finding them a little heavy. I move slightly but stop as a wave of pain flows over me; I groan as I feel like I have been hit by something very hard. I give up trying to open my eyes and just lay there listening.I am surprised when I hear lots of people moving about, with lots of low whispers. I then feel a hand on my wrist and flinch just a little as it causes another small wave of pain to flow up my arm and then through the rest of my body. I then hear a female's soft voice and smile,“Shh, Em. It’s okay. Try not to move, you are still healing…”I fight with the heaviness in my eyes and finally open them to look at Trinity. I smile a small smile at her, which she returns once she sees my eyes are open. I then move a little groan again and then rasp,“What happened?”“You did it, you destroyed the amulet and set everyone free from its effects… Unfortunately, Lexis didn’t like this and proceeded to beat the crap out of you before his Highness stopp
