EMMA He moves his hand as tears fill my eyes as I whisper, “You knew I would run? That’s why you sent them ahead of us, isn’t it?” “Yes, I gathered you would run the moment you got the chance. No. I sent them ahead of us as I wanted to help bring Odette out of hibernation for you and I didn’t want other males looking at this beautiful body that is mine and mine alone…” He looks down for a moment before returning his eyes to mine and they seem to hold a guilt that wasn’t there before, as he says, “I’m sorry for everything I have done before and after my death and since my return. However, I am not sorry for loving and wanting you. I admit I probably shouldn’t have activated your heat the way I did and I feel really guilty now but I needed us to complete the bonding and I knew that I wouldn’t get close enough to you with others around so I needed you on your own.” “So I was right. You planned and forced my heat to get me to accept you…” “You forget my pet. You already accepted me
EMMA I stand my ground as Jeremiah gets to his feet and I can see he is fighting Kiaan. However, it only lasts a moment before I whimper as he takes a step toward me and then another until he is close enough to reach out and slide his hand to the back of my neck, making me whimper again as he hisses. “Whether you like it or not, my pet, I do still own you, and this is my claim for everyone to see. So be a good little mate and get us males some refreshments.” As he states his claim, he moves the strap of the dress; I am wearing and ran his fingers over his mark, sending a shiver through me. I shake my head when I hear Odette whimper, bringing me out of the shock of his words. No one has treated me as a servant for 20 years and even though the submissive and years of training want me to bow my head and obey my Master, the Queen Alpha I have become over the years won't back down, knowing only suffering comes from giving in. I straighten my shoulders and fight the tears stinging my ey
ADONIS I saw the difference as soon as I saw her walking towards us she was much more, there was something, something that just made her look more and then when she ran into my arm I could feel the difference, I could actually feel her wolf she wasn’t at full strength yet but when she is… I am then surprised when all of a sudden my mother is pulled out of my arms and I am then faced with a very angry vampire. It takes me a moment to realise that it is my father when I hear my mother's soft voice say, “No, not ours, yours. As I said, you left me all alone with nothing but pain and loneliness.” I didn’t realise that she felt that way. She always seemed happy, especially with me. I take a quick moment and open my bond with her and ask. “Why didn’t you tell me? I thought you were happy, Mother.” “I am happy and you are the main reason for that happiness, but to lose one mate, it is something that can’t be filled by anyone but them.” Not wanting to seem rude, I look at my father and
JEREMIAH It was a well-kept secret and one I had forgotten about until I had been informed that my mother was trying to get Joesph to impregnate her. She knew that Finn was too loyal to me to take the throne from me, even after my exile. I look at Adonis and say,“Everyone knows my mother was a chosen mate for my father, one of noble blood, but what they didn’t know was that it wasn’t my father's choice but his father's. My mother was the eldest daughter of the highest noble family in the kingdom. However, even after she had bonded with my father, she formed a crush on my Uncle, Joesph. As I was young, what happened around Finn's birth didn't affect me. I then grew up with Finn as my closest friend. We were as close as brothers and there were many servants around the castle at the time that would whisper that we were. One night when I was about 10 and Finn was about 7, we heard my mother and father fighting in the sitting room. W
JEREMIAH I look over at Finn and then back at Adonis and then to the door as Joesph walks in with a worried and dissatisfied look on his face. I frown, but before I can deal with that, I finish my conversation with Adonis and Finn. I'm fairly sure I just heard Finn say that Emma had put all the things I had wanted to do into play, but I need to make sure as I ask,“All my programs and all the laws I was going to change?” “Have all been done, there are still some protocols to follow for those that enter, but otherwise everything is done and running smoothly,” Finn replies smiling,“And the people love her?” “Yes. Mother made it a point to leave the castle and make her way around the town and even some of the smaller towns and villages outside our main one.” Adonis says with pride.It's not hard to see how much my pet means to him or Finn or even Joesph as his displeasure seems to disappear a little at the discussion of Emma and, by the sounds of it, to the rest of the kingdom. I th
THIRD PERSON A few days later Emma decides that she has been invading Amelia’s space for too long even though Amelia wasn’t complaining, now thanks to Odette she doesn’t have the limited hearing that she used to so she could hear the whispered complaints of some of the guards as they did their rounds wanting their freedom to do as they wished back. Just as Emma is heading to the hangar to move on, she is grabbed and pulled back into one of the window alcoves. Emma doesn’t get a chance to react as her arms are twisted and pinned to her lower back as she is pushed and pinned to the wall. The male vampire behind her pushes his body more firmly into her back, making her feel his excitement as he whispers into her ear, "I told you that you would regret interfering with my fun. Now I take the blood and pleasure from you that I was going to take from that weak little human female." Emma can’t stop the scream that leaves her
EMMA I nod, sit back in the seat and buckle up, ready for the flight. Once up in the air, I say, "Maxine, can I have the plane phone, please?" "Of course. Here." Maxine picks up and passes me the phone. I take it and enter Samuel's number and then wait. It rings three times before a soft female voice answers. "Alpha Samuel's phone..." "Allayna... It's Emma. Is my brother around?" "Emma..." she yells excitedly, making me laugh before continuing, "Sorry Em, he left this morning on pack business... I can’t believe he forgot his phone..." "Oh, I was thinking of visiting, but that's okay another time..." "Don't you dare... You get your arse here..." I let out a chuckle and say, "Meet me in the hangar in about 5 hours." " That's longer than normal." "I'm coming from Amelia’s..." "Oh, okay. Who's with you?" "It's just me." "Oh... Okay. See you soon." I can hear her surprise and smile as I press the end button. I then say, “Maxine?” “Yes, your Highness.” I sigh, “Emma, pl
THIRD PERSONOnce in the air, Maxine gives Emma the phone she asks for and then heads back to the galley. As soon as Emma has finished on the phone, she asks for a glass of water telling her that the 2 vampires that just bit her had taken a little too much. Knowing that she is going to need it, Maxine added one of their special drugs to the water.Maxine wasn’t lying when she told Emma that the drug she put into the water was a soft sedative mix to restore blood levels, she however added a little more than they would normally use, to make sure that Emma’s wolf wouldn’t fight the sedative.Knowing that Emma had seen her add the drug and would probably refuse to drink it, she tries one of her gifts. Maxine was surprised at how easy it was to get into Emma’s head and give her the soft command to drink the water. Queen Amelia and the guard must have taken more blood than Emma had realised, as it wouldn't have been so easy otherwise.However, instead of just giving Emma the command to drin
