JEREMIAH I flick my eyes to Colter and he gets to his feet; I tilt my head, motioning for him to move. He nods his head and then steps back closer to the doors of the town hall before turning and walking inside. John looks over his shoulder and hisses at this but doesn’t get a chance to say anything as I then move up the steps and step closer to John, who seems to now be frozen in place and whispers into his ear,“What did you think that just because Queen Emma is Prince Jeremiah’s weakness that it would have brought him to his knees and you would have either been able to kill him or use him?...”I move just a little more closer and whisper even lower,“It took two different strong poisons for my mother to kill me. What gives you the idea that just your pitiful strength and the holding of Emma would have given you what you needed to kill me?…”“I…I…I…”
JEREMIAH He bows and walks away. I then continue to walk into the town hall. I look around, but I don’t see Colter or Koen and, more importantly, I don’t see Emma. I continue to walk into the entranceway. The further I enter, the more I hear voices coming from one of the side rooms,“What are we going to do?”“Relax Koen. We weren’t the ones that hit her…”“But he is going to be so mad, you can see that bruise on her cheek from a mile away… He had told us to protect her… But we… We… We allowed him to hit her...”“No, we didn’t... We didn't know that was what John was going to do…” "We were still supposed to protect her..." “You know, you both are right…”They snap their heads toward me, as I now stand with my arms crossed over my chest glaring at them…“You may not have hit her but you did let John, where the idea of protecting someone is to not let them get hurt…”They move from where they were crouching next to Emma who Colter had laid on one of the chaises, to kneeling in front
JEREMIAHMy attention is brought back to Finn as he starts to give me a headache,“Jeremiah?… Jeremiah?… Hello, Jeremiah?” “Finn, okay, stop.” “Where did you go?” “Somewhere in my head…” “But you are talking to me in your head?” “That I am… However, I have things to do. I will see you in a few nights.” “See you then...” I cut the link and knowing Finn, he would now be wondering how I managed to connect to him via the blood bond with being so far away, and as if predicting it, I get a tug on my end of his blood bond. I open the connection once more and before he says anything, I say,“I’ll explain later.” I then cut the link, not allowing any further discussion. I get to my feet
EMMAThey surprise me as we get to the bottom step. They bow and the bigger one steps forward before going to his knee, saying,“Your Highness, we would like to apologise, we were given the assignment of protecting you and instead we did the opposite and helped someone hurt you… You have every right to be angry and we are ready to receive any punishment you deem appropriate for our failure.”“I do not condone what you did, however, I am sure…”I look over at Jeremiah and whisper,“What are you to them now? Prince or King?”“I am still only the Prince until we complete the bonding. You are the sole ruler as Queen.”“Oh, okay…”I face the males once more and continue,“As I was saying, I’m sure Prince Jeremiah has punished you appropriately so that you have learned your lesson and won’t do it again?”
JEREMIAH I wake to the wonderful warmness of Emma’s body pressed tightly up against mine. I slide my hands and smile as I entice a moan out of her. I kiss the back of her neck and even still in sleep; she tilts her head, allowing me access to her neck. With what I have planned tonight, I know that I can’t take too much, as she will need it. She moans again as I sink my fangs in and take two small mouthfuls. I force myself to stop before Kiaan can take over and carry on what was started between us this morning. He will not give her the choice and will take her completing the bonding… I am a little surprised when I can hear the echo of a chuckle in my head. That has never happened before. I shake it off as Emma stirs in my arms. I lean over her and without a word and a small scream from her; I get to my feet. I then make my way out of the cave and up the cliff to the clearing above. I set Emma down on her feet and as she looked into my
EMMAI slowly pull myself out of the darkness once more and as I fight with my eyelids to open them, I notice that strange but sweet taste in my mouth again and know that Master Jeremiah gave me more of his blood.My eyes snap open as I remember what happened before I passed out. I remembered him telling me that I had no choice, that I will give myself to him. I move quickly, getting to my feet and backing up until my back hits one of the walls. I look around but I don’t see him, which makes me wonder what time it is and where he could be.I relax a little, taking a few deep breaths and realise that my body is not sore any more, and then I hear her. She is as clear as day and more or less back to full strength,“Of course, our body wouldn’t be sore. Master Jeremiah gave us some of his blood to help us heal…” “Odette…” I exclaim excitedly
JEREMIAH Once I am satisfied with her whimpers and pleas, I reach down and remove my boxers. I then slowly kiss my way back up her body, stopping again at her breasts for just a moment to get her moaning again. I then continue up until I reach her lips, where I place a dominant kiss.I rub my hard cock along her very wet private lips and take advantage when she lets out a small gasp at the feeling, cutting my tongue on my fangs as I slide it into her mouth. I coat the inside of her mouth with my blood before pulling back just a little. I look into her pleasure-glazed eyes and whisper,“I love you, Emma. I’m sorry, but this is going to hurt. Please forgive me…”She whimpers at my words but then lets out another moan as I rub my cock over her once more and then trail kisses down her neck until I get to my mark. With tears shimmering in my eyes, I move my hips, lining my cock up at her entrance. I suck on my m
EMMA He must have seen or felt the fear I now had running through me, as he whispers in a slightly rougher tone than Master Jeremiah,"Relax my pet. I will not hurt you. I am Kiaan, thanks to our time in Bardgatory. I am to Jeremiah like Odette is to you. You are as much my beloved as Jeremiah is Odette's mate. I am sorry for what we did and we will make it up to you over and over again, but as you can feel, I needed a deeper connection to you."He then lowers all the walls he has up between us and I take a sharp breath in as I feel everything he feels. I am surprised at the power behind all his emotions and I have to close my eyes to be able to get myself back under some sort of control so that when I look into his red eyes again; I am not as scared.I move slowly, lifting my hand and placing it on his cheek. He closes his eyes and leans into it. I smile at the tenderness I see in replacement of his usual hard exterior. When he op
