Lexi’s pov“How can I be your Master when my dad is yours? Also, why did you leave me in the forest alone and convulsing,” I asked bitterly.Wrapping the towel around myself I huffed at the bastard passing out on my bathroom floor.Dressing myself quickly and trying to decide what to do about my bathroom problem I went to check on my sleeping pup. Relieved that Kieran was still safely slumbering I glanced at the bathroom. Re-entering I kneeled next to Lenny and tapped the side of his sunken face.His eyes looked up at me but didn't focus right away.“How many werewolves did you drain this time, Lenny?!”Shaking his head he hissed at me.“Only you, your blood gave me the high of my life, and being near you makes me rejuvenate just give me a moment,” he sputtered and I fell back into my butt shaking my head.“You almost drained me so I can only imagine how buzzed you were…You can't be here Lenny, if they find you you'll be set ablaze,” I asserted.His lip curled as he muttered, “You ca
Lexi’s povAs we got closer to the mansion my concern over my leg grew. Why wasn't the injury healing, I wondered.I asked Lenny and he thought maybe it was due to my father's unique genetic makeup.“I can check on it when we get back to your room,” he said firmly and I nodded, trusting the bloodsucker.Lenny traversed up to the rear of the home and opened a slim door that looked like a normal piece of trim.“You'll have to hop through it. I can't carry you through the narrow space,” he informed me with a frown.“It's alright I can manage but let me enter my room first so I can divert my servant,” I sighed and hopped into the narrow wooden space.Pressed up against Lenny he grinned and told me to be as quiet as possible because the ones on the other side of the wall could hear us and vice versa.Nodding, I told him I would be quiet.Gazing up at him with my wolf eyes to see in the darkness I saw the red eye shine in his.“Keep moving or I'm going to kiss you,” he stated firmly.Grinn
Lexi’s pov“Who are you and why does that child smell familiar?!”I held Kieran close to my chest as Vukas came stomping toward us snarling viciously at me and our son.“I'm Lexi Mitchell, your mate and this is our son, Kieran,” I cried out as he hovered over me.Feeling him sniffing around me he huffed.“I'm a hybrid Alpha and will not claim a mere Omega for a mate. You are a mistaken female, stay clear of me and my brother, we don't want someone lowly like you,” he snarled.Anger bubbled up within me and I stood up straight as I narrowed my eyes at him.“You're a pompous prick, Nate,” I responded and remained steadfast as his hot exhales fanned my face.“You call me by my given name Nathaniel or Nathan but nothing else, bitch,” he said through gritted teeth.My heart was in my throat seeing him ready to backhand me when his eyes suddenly rolled back into his head and he crumbled to the floor after a loud whack.I gasped at Lenny standing there with a piece of two-by-four in his hand
Lexi’s pov“Stop Lenny, you're frightening me,” I muttered as my back hit the wall.Glancing over to where Nolan lay I prayed he was alright as Lenny’s long fingers wrapped around my neck. Looking at him I pleaded with him to stop with my eyes.“I'm not yours, Lenny. You are just very lonely and confused,” I asserted as his fingers tightened briefly as he shook his head in irritation.My door flew open and Nathan strolled in asking what all the banging was about. The vampire yanked me behind himself and hissed aggressively at the new threat.Reaching out to grab his upper arm he glanced at me and I told him to run.“Go hide, please, Lenny. I don't want you to be killed,” I begged him.He glanced at me with sad eyes then quickly rushed off into my bedroom while Nathan chased after him.“Nolan are you okay,” I asked, and hearing him groan I hurried to his side.“I'm fine, how are you,” I muttered to him while cupping his cheek. He looked up at me and said, “Your neck is bleeding. Did
Lexi’s povNot keeping track of the time that had passed I was still in disbelief over Lenny's wishes.A part, deep down within me, was telling me to run and don't do what he was requesting.I closed my eyes and reopened them to see Lenny looking breathtakingly handsome smiling at me with nothing but pure unbridled devotion.His long strands of ice-blonde hair were blowing in the slight breeze making me memorized.It seemed foolish to rid the world of such an erotic-looking man but then Nova growled interrupting my thoughts, “He is a predator and far from good.”“Ready,” Lenny inquired, looking at me nonchalantly.Shaking my head I gazed down at his form and sucked in my bottom lip.“All you need to do is punch into my chest and pull out my heart. It will be a quick death for me and I will be at peace. Alexandria, I give you my heart freely,” he said soothingly as his hands cupped my face.My eyes were full of confusion and sadness.“What if he is my real destiny,” I beseeched my wolf
Lexi’s pov“Lexi, meet Ríoghán Crinan, the king of the European vampires,” Johnathan announced and I quickly curtsied, causing the king to chuckle.“I can see why Lennox was enthralled by you, lass. You're a unique creature. Now please give me my son's heart,” he demanded with his outstretched hand and I shook my head.“He asked me to keep it with me. It was his last wish on this earth,” I asserted boldly and watched his blue eyes narrow.When he tried to compel me I grinned and shook my head.“It won't work on me, Your Highness, so if that is all I will excuse myself and retire to my bedroom. Oh Johnathan, did Jessica take Kieran with her,” I asked. When he nodded I grinned and prepared to exit.Just as I was about to open the door the man in sunglasses stepped in front of it. I heard the vampire king offer Johnathan twenty million dollars for the purchase of me, I assumed and I growled sourly.The audacity of him pissed me off.Turning around in the room I squeezed the stone in my
Lexi’s povFollowing the King's scent, I approached his closed door tried the handle, and discovered it was locked from the inside.Stuffing the heart stone into my pants pocket I gritted my teeth feeling that perhaps keeping it was foolish and I should have given it to the stupid vampire king.Growling bitterly I began pounding on the door.I can hear Nathan shouting at me from the other end and turning to look at him I shouted, “They took Kieran!”“Hold on I am coming,” he shouted back as he came running and the door opened to Ríoghán gazing down at me.“Give him back,” I cried and saw him just grin and tell me NO.Nathan wrapped his arm around my waist and snarled aggressively at the king.“Give us back our son!”“Give me back MINE,” Ríoghán asserted and I widened my eyes understanding what he was doing.“Your son asked me, he begged me to take his heart, sir! Our son has nothing to do with this. I took Lenny's heart and I didn't want to,” I cried out.Nathan held me as I began to
Lexi’s povWalking beside Nathan my legs felt weak and my hands were starting to shake.“Are you going to be alright,” he asked me in concern.Side-eyeing him I opened my mouth to respond but only a gasp of air came out so I closed my mouth and nodded.“I have to do this for Kieran,” I finally growled out.“I am going in with you, so don't fret, Lexi. I don't want him fucking you either,” he snarled causing me to grin slightly.“Thanks for that," I told him with a snort.We arrived at the door and Nathan knocked firmly.The door opened and Ríoghán answered looking at both of us with a snide smile.“Please come in, both of you,” he said kindly, making me eye Nathan suspiciously.“I feel that you both misunderstood what I was implying," he added as he glanced back at us both.Nathan squeezed my hand as we followed him into the sitting room.Ríoghán offered us a drink and I declined as well as Nathan.With all of us sitting in the room the king clapped his hands together and chuckled sli
