EMMA I moan and groan as I try to move. My body feels strange. It's not sore other than the side of my neck, which burns just a little, but I still feel like I have been hit by something very heavy. I open my eyes and slowly look around, wincing every time I move my neck. I reach up and skim my fingers over the side of my neck and feel nothing but smooth, unbroken skin.I frown and then groan again as I make myself sit up. I try to think about what happened but don’t remember what happened after we entered the celebration hall and stopped in front of Queen Isabelle. I rub my temples and sigh. I look around again and realise that I am in a bed that is similar to Master Jeremiah’s but is not his.Once I am sitting up without a problem, I then lift my hand once more to my neck and feel it a little more this time, but again, other than a small twinge of pain and a slight increase in the burn, there was nothing there. I sigh again and slowly get out of bed. Once on my feet, I look down an
EMMA I knock on her door and wait for her usual, “Enter.”I open the door and enter the room, with Trinity still following me. I walk through the suite and out onto the balcony where Queen Isabelle is sitting and drinking from one of those gold goblets. I walk over, stand in front of her with my head down, and wait for her to speak.I hear her take a sip from the goblet and swallow it. She then clears her throat and says,“If it had been anyone else that he had tried to use I would have punished them… But you have proven that unless it is something that you can’t control you are there whenever I call for you, so for this time and this time only I am giving you a free pass. Now I had a lot of fun with my lover over the last two days and nights. You will do your job and clean it up. I want everything fresh for when I feel like indulging in my slaves later. Understood?”“Yes, your Highness…”I glance up and over quickly at Trinity before daring to speak.“Excuse me, your Highness?”“Wha
JEREMIAHI chuckle at his little dig at our species, knowing that he is correct. Most Royals can withstand a small amount of sunlight but anyone below them can’t handle sunlight. This makes me think of Emma and what our children would be if we ever had any, would they be like her and be unlimited to what and where they could go or would they be like me and be trapped to the night?Earlier when I was signing the alliance I agreed to let Emma go for him, really just so that he would be willing to help me but after what Samuel just said I will look at how to set her truly free of me so that she has the chance to have normal pups without the hidden consequences of my kind mixed in.And as for the prophecy, they have been known to be wrong many times in the past and a seer’s vision is never really reliable as they can always change. With this decided, I just needed to know how to set her free and the only way to do that is to do some research. There will be no way I will go back to sleep n
JEREMIAHSHIT!! Now, this is even worse. I go back to the Werewolf book and look again, but there was nothing in that one on inter-species bonds other than what I already know. I sigh, frustrated; I get up from the bed where I had been sitting and reading. I pace back and forth at the end of the bed.I walk over to the wall and then back to the bed and then back to the wall. I do this. I don’t know how many times hoping that this would calm my growing anger. Unfortunately, this does the opposite and the next time I get to the wall, my anger is so high I step back from the wall and then turn to punch my hand into the cement.As I go to hit my fist into the wall once more, I hear Finn's words from our last conversation.“But you can’t…”What did he mean by that? Does he know what will happen if I set her free? Maybe I should give him a call. There is also one more book I can look it up in but there is a chance that Samuel might not have it in his library. I pick up the phone and dial 3
SAMUEL Maya and Claire are the first to show, of course, I felt the slight disturbance that happens when Maya uses Spike to jump from one place in the territory to another and anyone would think that these two are mates as you never find one without the other.I smile as Jeremiah jumps just a little next to me at their sudden appearance; I look at Maya and see that they are the violet eyes of Spike and say,“I see that you two are still connected at the hip, but could you have at least stopped off and picked up Sam on your way?”“I don’t like travelling with her like that. I would rather run…”Samantha spits from behind us. Spike has only ever jumped with Samantha once, and it didn’t go very well. Samantha broke her arm and was sick for over a week. She hasn’t travelled like that with her since, but then Spike was still only learning at the time, so there were bound to be a few mishaps.Once they are all there and I get a mental tug from Greta telling me she is in position, I turn to
THIRD PERSON Samantha is a little irritated when Samuel forgets she is there but takes this opportunity to watch and learn. After both Samuel and Jeremiah leave the training field, she then walks down and joins in with some of the training.After the show of Queen Isabelle’s personal power in the fight against Prince Jairo and the superiority of her warriors taking down his at the celebration, everything seemed to settle down in the castle once more.It seemed that Queen Isabelle had been training warriors in secret and keeping them to an even higher standard than the King had been.She called them her Protectors.Queen Isabelle sent out messengers informing the kingdom of the increase to the taxes and if there were any complaints or anyone refusing to pay, they would be dealt with swiftly.The kingdom was starting to turn into a very dark, cold and miserable place to be. To make things even worse, Queen Isabelle closed all the gates that provide entry to the kingdom and not only put
JEREMIAH I wipe my hand down my face and sigh, I then reach over and pick up my phone, flip it open, then press and hold the number 2. I then put it to my ear and listen to it ring, he answers it on the third ring, “Finn, here.” “Finn…” “Your Highness, this is a surprise… Wait, did something happen? Did Angie and the warriors make it?…” “Finn, calm down. Angie and the warriors made it perfectly fine, other than they were around an hour and a half early, so they arrived during daylight hours. However, something has happened and I need you to explain or search something up for me.” “Of course, your Highness, what do you need?” “Um… When I told you that I was setting Emma free, you said that I couldn’t. Why?” “I don’t know, it just didn’t feel right.” “Well, until you can give me a better reason than that I am still setting her free to be with her family and I need you to go down into the lower library and find the tome ‘The book of Forbidden Supernatural Knowledge’. I need to k
JEREMIAHThe next few days and nights passed with no problems as I make sure to be down in the kitchen when Luna Skyler walks in to help with the pack meals for the day. I help and hover close to her without making it too obvious that I am trying to stay as close to her as possible. I stay until the light of the sun gets too much and I have no choice but to go to my room for the day.It seemed to be working. Two weeks after the first time, Samuel offered me some more of his blood, which I took, but like the first time, I only took a couple of mouthfuls before closing my bite on his wrist. That morning back in my room, I had the same reaction to his blood as I did the first time. I slept well that day but by the time the 2ndmorning came, my fangs were tingling and lengthening on their own and that strange feeling was back once more but not as strong.I had no choice. I let my gift expand and find Skyler. I smile when she is in th
I'm sure that I'm not due for my heat for another couple of months. However, Odette is very quiet. Jeremiah and even Kiaan haven't been able to stay away from me, and I must admit that I have been drawn to them a little more as well. Every time we have a little time to ourselves, he is inside me, making me scream out in pleasure again and again. I sigh as I pull the stick out of the wrapping and tuck it in between my legs. I think over the last few nights and know that both Adonis and Jeremiah are going to start asking questions soon about what is wrong with me. Just as I was finishing up, I heard Jeremiah walk into our bedroom, and he called out, “My pet, are you in here?” I quickly finish, flush the toilet and pick up the test, hiding it in my pocket without looking at it. I move over to the sink and catch myself as I turn on the tap and yell, “Yeah, be right out Master…” He hisses and I jump a little as I feel his hands and then his arms wrap around my waist from behind. He th
*** Five years later *** EMMA It took time, but Jeremiah finally managed to prove to me and Adonis that he was worthy of keeping me, and even then it wasn’t until after Nyx was born that Adonis finally accepted that Jeremiah wouldn’t do anything to hurt me again. Finn stepped up and took over Joseph's full duties. It took him a little while to get over his father's death, but he was proud that he gave his life protecting Emma. Ali had even told him that if she fell pregnant with her next heat and it was a male, they would name him in honour of his father. Samuel and my fathers, with the help of Greta and Harper, found the ones responsible for the mess of Maxine and Zayne and were punished accordingly. Samuel then changed everything to do with the cells and the dungeons and added cameras so that it would never happen again. However, everything has been reasonably calm within my kingdom and other than the usual small conflict raids which were easily controlled everything has been w
JEREMIAH The next evening, I woke with her still sleeping in my arms. I don’t know what it was, but I was expecting her to have left me at some stage during the day. However at some stage during the day I had or maybe Kiaan had removed her nightdress so her soft bare body was pressed snugly against mine. He seems to smirk at me in my head.Loving the tingles running over my skin, I pull her a little tighter up against me and then slide my hands up and down her body as I slowly move my hips against her. She lets out a soft moan as one of my hands kneads her breast and then the other slides down her body and in between her legs. I then start placing soft kisses on the side of her neck. She moans again and slightly moves her head, allowing me more access and at the same time slightly moves her leg, allowing my hand and fingers more access. I hiss low as my fangs lengthen and my cock gets even harder. I know I should wait until she is fully awake, but I can’t stop myself as I sink my
THIRD PERSON Everyone stops as her voice carries and echoes throughout the warehouse. They all turn and drop to their knee, even her father's the only one left standing is Jeremiah and that even for him was a battle.“This fighting is pointless. Nothing done here today will ever change what was done in the past…”Emma looks at Zayne and then slowly walks over to where he is kneeling and continues,“My life was changed forever because of that day. Do I wish it never happened? Yes!”Emma holds up her hand toward Jeremiah, knowing what he was going to say, staying his lips. She then continued,“I would have loved to have grown up with my loving family instead of learning how to serve someone else. However, if some things never happen, then the good things that come from that one bad one can also never happen. If your mother hadn’t gotten hooked on the high of vampire blood, then
THIRD PERSON The vampire in the cockpit with Roger gives him the coordinates to an abandoned airstrip that was close to an abandoned warehouse, which is perfect for what they wanted to do. As soon as they land and come to a stop, the vampire with Roger stands and then, as Roger gets out of his seat, the vampire turns and grabs him, pulling him close. He then sinks his fangs into Roger's neck and drinks hard and fast, draining him completely. The vampire removes his fangs and mouth, dropping his body as it turns to dust. He then joins Zayne, Emma and the other vampire in the passenger compartment. Emma feels a tear slide down her cheek as she looks at the vampire that just joined them. The smirk on his face tells her that she wasn’t feeling things with the connection to Roger snapped as he died. Zayne grabs Emma by her hair, not caring for the whimper she lets out. He then drags her down the steps of the plane and into the wa
NATHAN We all stood at the doors of the hangar and watched as Emma’s plane taxied down the runway. I tighten my arm around Skyler, bringing her in closer so that I can place a kiss on the side of her head. It feels so good to have the family back together and whole. As I turn with Skyler to head back home, I stop and watch the plane as it suddenly stops at the beginning of the runway.I know that is not something that should happen as Roger is a skilled pilot and would only stop if there was trouble. I remove my arm from around Skyler and take a few deep breaths as I continue to watch the plane. The plane starts moving once more, but now I can smell a hint of a scent that shouldn’t be here. I link Elijah, Cole, and Samuel,“I think we had some intruders. Elijah, take Skyler home and then come back, Cole, stay with me. Samuel?” “Yes.” “Come to the hangar, get G
EMMA “Why? Why are you doing this?” “My name is Zayne. My mother was the one that took you from your parents when you were 7 and gave you to the Royal Vampire family. Now, 20 years ago, your brother found my mother and brought her back to the Royal Blood Moon pack for punishment. They kept her in the dungeon cells and tortured her even while she was pregnant with me. They let her give birth to me all alone, with no help. Did you know that they only gave her one day of rest after my birth before they started their torture of her once more?...” I shake my head. There is no way that Samuel would allow such treatment, even to a prisoner. “No, Samuel wouldn’t have done that…” “Oh, it wasn’t Young Samuel, even though he did his damage before bringing her back to the pack. No, this was your fathers and the high guards that they assigned to her cell… When I was 7 years old two guards walked into the cell, cuffed me to the bars and th
THIRD PERSON Maxine could barely move when the werewolf and the 2 vampires finally allowed her to leave the hangar and return to her room. After sneaking in the werewolf and the 2 vampires, she was going to go to her allotted room and was off the dirty feeling of having to do what that male werewolf told her. However, as she was leaving the hangar, he grabbed her and threw her back into the room, where the 2 vampires held her as she struggled. He slapped her, making her struggles temporarily stop, allowing him to step up close to her and pull her body close to his before taking her to the floor where the 2 vampires then held her down as the werewolf stripped her and then forced himself inside her. True to his word to the male vampires, they all took turns having their fun and taking their pleasure from her for the next 36 hours while everyone in the pack was celebrating the full moon and then recovering. Maxine had cuts and bruises everywher
EMMAMother smiles and walks over to stand next to me at the window, she places her hand on my shoulder and then turns the stick over and holds it in front of me showing me those two bright pink lines, showing with all their glory that I am indeed pregnant.My eyes go wide and I smile, but then my face drops as the distance I have put between me and Jeremiah hits and if it had happened at any other time, I probably would have been over-excited. Tears slide down my cheeks as I realise that Jeremiah should have been with me for this, but then, is this really what he would want? My mother makes me turn and pulls me into her arms and says,“It will be okay, Em, you will see…”“But I’m not 18 or even 20 any more mother, I’m too old… And I’m dying mother…”“Sweetheart, we are werewolves. We could be 100 and still have a pup... Who told you that you were dying?”“No one told me, I can…” I frown, “I could feel it…”My mother smiled as she says, “Other than feeling sick, you feel better, don’t
