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
Lexi’s povI drank an entire bottle of liquor and had overindulged. My eyes were closed as I rested against the top of the bar.Suddenly feeling my cheek getting tapped I growled in irritation.Opening my one eye a crack I can see Reese glaring at me.“What,” I mumbled as I lifted my head and wiped the drool off my mouth.“I wished to ask you about what is going on, lush. Everyone downstairs is in a frenzy,” she said in exasperation.Glancing around the room I see that I'm all alone beside Reese “Where is everyone?”Reese shook her head and snorted.“The boys are downstairs with their dad and your mom in the office discussing your father and it was getting insanely loud,” she said with crazy jazz hands.My lip curled and I chuckled.“That's because the vampire king mentioned that my dad was a king,” I snickered.Putting her hands on her hips she glared at me.“Well was he?!”Shrugging I explained that I highly doubted that since I grew up in a run-down trailer and my mom lived off he
Lexi’s pov“Do we need to attend dinner,” I asked Nathan.Hearing his chuckle I assumed that meant a yes as I rummaged through my pile of clothes.Feeling Nolan's eyes on me I looked up to see him pointing at a cream-colored dress and tilted my head.“You would look stunning in it and since you're staying the night with me tonight I can help you remove it,” he grinned. Looking over at Nathan I raised my brow.“Weren't we going to discuss our son?”Nathan nodded and said,” We are but someone wants to impregnate you.”Snorting, I rolled my eyes.“It should happen spontaneously, Nolan,” I muttered sourly.“Oh, it will be slow and subtle. I will seduce you and have you begging me to slide my big cock into your damp hole,” he growled huskily.Glaring at him with a curl of my lip I laughed.“That sounds horrendous, Nolan. Can't we just make sweet love,” I asked him with a raised brow.“Well as much time as you have been spending with Nathan I figured that you enjoyed a rough tumble in the s
Lexi’s povClenching the stone in my palm I turned to see Nathan pushing the crib toward his bedroom.“What are you doing?” I asked him with my eyes narrowed.“Well, dear heart, I figured we can talk with the royal pains in our asses tomorrow and tonight I will watch my son so you and my brother can get your freak on,” Nathan said with a smirk.Nolan shouted excitedly, “Thanks, bro!”I laughed watching them high-five each other then squealed in laughter when Nolan lifted me around my waist.Being swung in the air I asked Nathan if he was sure we should wait to speak with the vampires.Nodding his head he huffed and glanced at me in Nolan's arms.“How about I just go to their room and inform them tonight? I will as long as you both promise to keep you moaning and groaning to a minimum so you don't wake Kieran,” he asserted.I side-eyed Nolan and smiled at him nodding.“I won't start thrusting until I hear you return,” he snickered and Nathan rolled his eyes.“Just let me get him situat
