EMMA
I rise early that evening and as I feed Adonis; I ring my brother.
“Alpha Samuel, here.”
“Hey, bro.”
“Emma… Is everything okay? Do you need me there?”
I laugh, as I say, “No, everything is fine. I just met a Vampire Queen that Master Jeremiah and his mother made an alliance with…”
I don’t miss his growl at the fact that I still call Jeremiah Master, but I can’t help it. He was and always will be my Master.
“Okay, is she a threat?”
“I’m not sure. I don’t think so. She saw our exchange program and was wondering if you would consider meeting with her to maybe…”
“I would have to meet her. The one I did with Jeremiah was for you, not him. It was to bring you home… Not that, that worked…”
“I will visit soon. I w
EMMA I spend the next few nights split between Queen Amelia and my normal duties throughout the castle and kingdom, as I thought it would be good for her to see how everything ran even without me moving through the kingdom or castle.Amelia and the twins were due to be on the plane just before dawn to return to their kingdom. We arranged to meet in my office to make any changes and resign the alliance. I carried Adonis with me as I entered my office. I had Finn place a small portable crib in my office for Adonis so I could monitor him while I did some of the mountains of paperwork that goes with being a Royal.I had been in my office for about an hour when there was a knock on the door. I lift my head and say,"Enter..."I smile as Amelia walks in with Emberlynn in her arms, but I then frown as she is followed in by another male vampire that I didn't know and he closes the door behind him. As I am in here on my own, a shiver of fear runs through me as I know that I am no match agains
EMMA I was expecting it to take longer, but it didn’t take Finn and Ali to organise and set up for the changing and crowning ceremony. They set up a stage in the middle of town and called a full kingdom gathering for the next evening so that Queen Amelia could be on the plane home just before dawn. I wake up the next evening and take care of Adonis’s needs and then get ready for the gathering. As I am standing off to the side of the stage, I am not sure if I can do this, yes they all like me and have all benefited from what I have done but that does not mean that they will agree with me being crowned their Queen and then accept Adonis on top. That could be asking too much of them. I wait for everyone to settle before walking up onto the stage with Benjamin a step behind me. I walk to the front and stand next to Finn as he says, “Welcome! As you know, Prince Jeremiah visited the Bhampair kingdom and entered an agreement and the result of that agreement is Princess Emberlynn and Pri
THIRD PERSON Emma snaps out of her memory when she hears Benjamin hiss and sees him step closer to her so that he is now only an inch away from her and slightly in front of her. She looks up at the males approaching and takes a deep breath before standing up straight, then slightly stepping around Benjamin and stepping forward, much to Benjamin’s annoyance. With Benjamin just behind her, she stops and waits for Elder Elio and his son Colter to stop in front of her. Elder Elio smirks as he says, “Now that was even easier than I thought it would be… See Emma, you are weak just like you have made this kingdom weak, just as I thought you would…” Emma is puzzled at how it was so easy for him to enter the kingdom, but doesn’t let it show as she smirks at him, making his falter just a little. He doesn’t understand why she is not cowering in front of him and his males. He can’t understand how she can stand there with her head held high when she was such a little lamb when he left. Emma st
(This memory will cover the next couple of chapters and will mostly play out as it happened in Emma's POV, but I will include the other main characters' POVs in places I feel they need to be included.)EMMA*** MEMORY ***I am in my office with Adonis in his portable crib, doing some paperwork. I look up at the knock on my door and smile as Samuel walks in,“What are you doing here? I wasn’t expecting you until next week.”“The family wants to meet you…”“I know and I want to meet them, but I have just been busy. I didn’t realise that there was so much work to being a leader to anyone, let alone the Queen to an entire kingdom.”“Emma, it has been a few months now since your crowning… Besides, you need to come and check on the progress of the training in the pack. Make sure it is to your liking…”I lower my eyes and
EMMA I still don’t remember much of my life with Samuel before our 7th birthday party and then a lot of what I do remember is the cold and dark from the cell Master Jeremiah kept me in and even when I was in his chambers it was always cold with only a small amount of light.As I got older, he allowed me a little more freedom to come and go as I pleased out of my cell but only within his chamber and then once I turned 18; he surprised me even more by allowing me to attend that celebration, dancing with him while everyone watched and then taking me somewhere private for my first shift.I didn’t know much about mates, but when Odette had come to me and said that Master Jeremiah was ours, it explained a little more about how and why I was drawn to him and even when he was punishing me I had always felt safe with him. At the time, I never knew why, but I never had the courage to ask him about it either.I could feel he felt it too
THIRD PERSONAfter Samuel mentions Norman, Benjamin allows Samuel to talk to Finn as he has to rein in his temper not only from what he was told about what Norman did, but her personal guard at the time was helping him.It had taken him a while to earn both Prince Jeremiah's and especially Emma’s trust to be allowed so close to her. Benjamin’s eyes then land on Emma’s sleeping form laying against Samuel. He then remembers the two days she had spent with him and his partner, Matt.Benjamin’s heart and chest then pull tight and he has to take a moment to remember to breathe. He turns away from Samuel as he remembers the short conversation he had with Matt before Queen Isabelle, had sent him out on an assignment.“You know she has done this on purpose, don’t you?”“Then don’t do it…”“Ben, Honey. I have to. It is part of my job and if you didn’t alre
EMMA I look around for our bags, but I don’t see them anywhere. I look over at Samuel and again he smiles.“Already at the packhouse…”“Arr… I hate it when you do that. Stop reading my mind…”Samuel puts his hand on his heart and fakes being hurt as he says,“Sis, you wound me… I would never. You actually asked where they were…”“Wait, no I didn’t…”“Yes, you did.”“No, I didn’t” “Yes, you did.”“Come on, you two… We are not going into one of those debates… Please let's move to the packhouse…”Finn huffs as both me and Samuel laugh and start walking, while still debating, as he leads us to the tunnels. We follow the tunnels until we get to a fork where Samuel says,“Okay, going to the right takes us to the packhouse and going left takes us to the barracks and the training field. So follow me and we will go to the packhouse where I have rooms set up for all of you, including a crib for Adonis.”As we walk down the tunnel and get closer to the packhouse, I have to ask,“Sam? Are our M
EMMAHe then surprises me as he closes the gap between us wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me to him and taking a deep breath before laughing as he picks me up and spins me around, saying,“It’s okay big sis, you are back now and we can make up for everything that you missed…”It takes a moment but I then start to laugh along with him until there is a small cry from the monitor on the ground next to where I had been kneeling. Marcus puts me back on my feet and says,“Your little one?”“Yes, Adonis. Did you want to come to meet him?”“Sure.”I pick up the monitor and we walk back to the packhouse and back to my room. I make sure that after we enter that the door is shut tight before moving to the bedroom and picking up Adonis. I place my finger into his mouth, and he sinks one of his small fangs into it and starts drinking.I then return to where Marcus is standing and waiting. I smile as I walk over to him and show him, my son. Marcus smiles and then looks around the room bef
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
