Myra
Despite my wariness and unwillingness, Akira trotted towards the direction. The scent thickened and enveloped my senses like a warm blanket. I tried my best to not succumb to the pull, but who could fight against nature? Soon, I was standing a few feet away from a tree under which my mate was slouched. Under the milky light of the waning moon, he looked paler.
Why was he here? And sitting like this? Was he hurt? I scoffed at the thought because other than silver, I haven’t heard of anything that might hurt a vampire. I trudged towards him and my instincts revved up because something was indeed wrong. He did not seem to even notice my arrival until I was standing a few feet away from him.
Akira, to my dismay, let out a whine. That made him raise his head and that’s when I saw his eyes, the pupils had dilated which made
Consent is sexy ;)
MyraI was shaking by the time I had finished telling Andrew those fragmented, but scary nonetheless nightmares. The ones that were not were a blur and I somehow knew they were not just some illegible images conjured up by my brain, but a part of the nightmare, like there were some old cherished memories. On those nights, my eyes opened more languidly and the only discomfort was the way my chest clenched painfully as it did when I missed my parents.I tried to calm down, tried to regulate my breath before looking at Andrew, who looked dazed. His mouth was slightly agape and his eyes...his eyes spoke volumes, but unfortunately, I couldn’t decipher anything from them.“Is...is something wrong?” I asked hesitantly, and that seemed to break his stupor. “Oh, no...not at all,” he replied
Myra Thankfully, I met no one on the way back. I rushed into my room and closed the door with a slam. Bright light filtered without hindrance since I had pushed aside the curtain last night. My thoughts were muddled as I tiredly plopped down on the bed. What was I going to do? My heart pounded at the thought of Damian becoming obsessive. Akira has been silent throughout the conversation, not even making a sound of displeasure or agreement. “Aki?” I called her softly. She hummed an acknowledgement. I sighed, knowing very well that she would give more importance to me than her own decision. How did I end up with such a generous alter ego? Akira huffed at the thought. “What will we do?” I asked her quietly. I couldn’t accept him as a mate after what I suffered. Vampires took everything from me—my
Myra Before I could even come to a decision, Damian had zoomed past me and had tackled Eric. The latter let out a thundering growl and did not back down. He snarled and kicked. The power tussle was equal and I could only howl, but both of them seemed to have forgotten my presence. Akira and I both were panicking, running from one corner to the other. My gaze honed on their pointy teeth, how it gleamed but yet there was no speck of blood which somehow calmed slightly. When nothing came out of running and I failed to draw their attention, I decided to transform back. The silence of the night was broken by harsh growls and snarls, loud thuds and punches. I frantically looked around for spare clothes and when I spotted one, I hurried to that place and changed back. “Damian, stop,” I screamed because I knew otherwise, it would not be heard by either. But when his o
Damian I stared at the ring that sat in my palm. It looked like silver but I knew it wasn’t. Otherwise, it would burn my palm and I would have been screaming att the moment. I could feel the magic buzzing within the metal. I picked it up between my forefinger and thumb and rolled it about. The metal glinted under the light. I contemplated whether I should wear it, whether it would actually tame the beast that only thought of claiming his mate. By the time I returned to my place, more like my room, inconspicuous and unnoticed like always, Whatever scraps and cuts I had received were nowhere to be found, of course, but I was still feeling on edge. I clenched my jaw, my teeth almost elongating at the thought of that...that mutt coming to rescue my mate. I scoffed under my breath and placed the ri
Myra My luck lasted till the beginning of the training session. While I knew the others might have come to know about the reason behind my absence, I was not yet ready to face them. What if they hated me for being a vampire’s mate? I clenched my fists and tried to steady my pounding heart. Akira has been silent ever since that conversation and judging by her mood, I guess she is angry or at least not quite happy with me. I sighed and put on my sneakers. I couldn’t hide in my room for long, could I? Everyone had already started training when I walked in. I winced when Eric landed a vicious punch on the punching bag and for a moment, everyone stared at him while I averted my eyes. “You finally grace us with your presence. Eric has been beside himself, ya know?” Jamie commented, instantly earning a smack on his arm from Vi. I smiled nervously as I headed towards
Damian“It’s been so long since we came to hunt together,” Melissa murmured as we scoped out the area. Owls hooted from somewhere, camouflaged by their safety. Their hoots echoed through the woods. I hummed at my sister’s comment, trying my best to take my mind off. Until now my family had no idea about my situation. Aaron seemed to have an inkling, but he did not ask me.I twirled the ring on my forefinger absent-mindedly as if it had been a part of me for ages. I had been calm the whole day, not restless like I had been for the past few days. I almost felt...normal. I snorted at the irony. “What?” Melissa asked. I shook my head and we continued searching.“Quiet,” I whispered as soon as I heard a sound, crunching of dry leaves. Melissa complied. As we took the po
Damian Melissa had looked at me questioningly when we had meandered through the forest and come to the part where I had seen Myra numerous times. It was not a conscious choice, really. I had answered her questioning gaze with a mere shrug. But now, I think I know why. Maybe it’s what they called the bond pulling and tugging the two mates until they are bound to meet. When Myra barrelled at me and I found myself on my back, I didn’t think of throwing her off me. I felt...protective and...pleased. I had almost forgotten that my sister, who had no clue about my mate’s existence, was also present. We exchanged a silent conversation after I divulged the secret and I knew she would keep this to herself. After the initial rendezvous, I realised that my mate was acting so cosied up because she was in heat.
Damian Her alluring gaze and the pheromones that hung thick in the air was all that it took for me to snap. I grabbed her chin and brought my lips down on hers. She let out a breath moan as her lips moved against mine. I bit her lip while she clutched my shirt. Something in me wanted to claim her and I couldn’t help but wished to give in. ~~**~~ Myra His hands slid around my waist, the coldness of his touch, soothing my prickly heated skin. I hadn’t realised when I had closed my eyes or when I had settled on his lap. I heard a ripping sound and belatedly realised that my claws had appeared and it was me who had ripped off the fabric. I moaned as his lips left mine and left a wet trail along my jaw and glided down my neck before he settled on my collarbone, worrying
{3 years later…} [Myra] The day begins like any other. The castle is now our permanent abode. Every day hasn’t been filled with roses and peaches. There has been a number of ugly attempts of invasion, and there have been attempts at assassination, but somehow we have persevered. I make my way to my office where I know a tonne of paperwork will be waiting. But I sense my mate’s presence instead as I approach my office. As expected, he sits on one of the vacant chairs, flipping through a file. “I thought you needed to leave for another Pack/Nocturnal meeting.” I walk over to him and lean down to kiss him nonetheless. He abandons the file in favour of pulling me on his lap. I loop my arms around his neck and nip his bottom lip. “I did, but the alpha and the luna also want you to be present,” he murmurs against my lips. “Huh? Why?” I ask, pulling away. He shrugs. “I guess you are more popular and amiable than I am. At least that is what Celie reports.” I giggle at that but it i
[Celie] “Looking at him won’t change the inevitable.” I am startled by Andrew’s voice. I am not this oblivious. However, today can be exempted considering the whirlwind of stuff that happened and culminated to this day. I shoot a mild glare at him before turning back to look at the King who will probably be a memory when the sun rises next. “Go bother Alexandra,” I mutter as I lean back on the couch, a glass of deer’s blood in my hand. My taste buds have adjusted to the smell and taste miraculously. Alexandra said that it will take a while before I can go back to having ‘human’ food. I can’t wait. Instead of doing what I suggested and going to Alexandra’s room, he takes a seat beside me. My heart doesn’t flutter but I feel a knot form in my stomach. His presence has always done that. “How do you feel about your new position?” he asks. I shrug. “I’ll manage. I will give Damian a hell of a time.” I am not even kidding. That man will pay for what he did today. Only because today
[Damian] King. The Vampire king. That is what the former King uttered while placing the crown on my head. The weight of the golden crown and the powers seep into my skin as Elder Lana reads the decree, the responsibilities that entail the role. My eyes wander to my parents who look proud, to Melissa who stands grinning and towards my werewolf friends, who smile when our gazes meet. My gaze wanders to my mate, who is more nervous than I am even if she appears to be calm. She stands poised and beautiful. Mine. Possessiveness curls around my dead heart. The echo of these emotions has increased ever since she became my mate. I wonder once again what my earlier self would have felt if he got the chance to become the King. If he was given the chance to rule with his mate? But it is rhetorical, isn’t it? Because we are the same. Myra’s eyes flicker to mine when she senses my gaze on her. Her eyes widen infinitesimally before her cheeks tint pink when she looks at the intent behind my gaz
[Myra]Jamie fills the silence with his non-stop chatter and it is a welcoming respite. Viola sits beside me in companionable silence, occasionally replying to Jamie’s quips with her own retorts and sometimes joking. It’s a short journey and yet it feels stretched out. I feel sweat trickle down the nape of my neck, trickling down the spine. I shift a little and Viola immediately turns her attention towards me. “Should I crank up the AC?” Jamie asks, glancing at me through the rearview mirror. I nod. “That would be great.” The make-up is a water-based one so one less worry about sweating away the hard work Viola had done. Out of the blue, another image crosses my mind like a memory long-forgotten. I see the glimpse of a castle at night and realise that Damian and suddenly I realise that what is now Andrew’s mansion, used to be our temporary home centuries ago. My throat closes at the thought. My fingers flex around the handle of a clutch purse. “Are you okay? Your heart is terribly
[Myra] What can an omega dream of in this Supernatural world which strictly follows hierarchy? Maybe finding a mate who is loving, or living a life without being beaten into submission. But becoming a Royal? Becoming a Queen? Maybe not. At least I did not have any such dream. I dreamt of a loving mate, a life free of slavery. But that is not what I got, not at the beginning at least. My parents left me or rather were forced to leave me behind while their lives were sucked out. “What are you thinking?” Violet asks me with a light pat on my shoulder. I blink out of my thoughts and shake my head. It’s nothing serious after all, not anymore. “I swear, this dress was probably waiting for you,” Violet mutters as she straightens whatever crease was still visible even if a little. My gaze flickers back to my reflection — the red gown goes well with my pale skin. The sweetheart neckline and the off-shoulder straps, highlight my collarbone while the cinched corset style of the top makes my
[Celie]“Nope. Not happening,” I shake my head vehemently at the proposition. What the fuck is this senile bloodsucker even saying? Elder Lana or so I reckon looks me up and down like I’m some sort of untouchable and lowly being. They wouldn’t be doing that if they knew how I defeated their revered High Queen. “Why?” Damian counters on behalf of the King. I shoot him an icy look. Does he not get it? I am a newly transformed hybrid and someone who basically destroyed their mental albeit delusional image of a Queen who had never been someone they thought her to be, and he wants me to ask why. They will never accept me even if they comply with the King’s wish. “I think this girl is right, Your Highness,” Elder Elisa says primly, as if it pained her to agree with me. I scoff inwardly. Like I care, asshole. But the King shakes his head, slow but firm. “I have given my verdict. She… defeated the Queen. She saved me… I am grateful to her.” The voice is feeble but sincere, which is why I d
[Myra] I have never seen such mayhem. The covens were either hurling verbal insults at Celie or simply running to get their information across to their Elders. Celie has managed to create a barrier even though she didn’t want to. If I am not wrong, it’s not easy to get hold of Elders. Usually, they either roam different parts of the world after serving their covens or packs or clans, or they simply go incognito which simply means that one won’t get hold of them until they want to. Some still stay back and act as the advisor or are simply there as a helping hand, someone who commands respect. There are a few and I bet the people who have gone, have gone to these few, who crave power, more power and try to keep the leaders of their concerned pack or coven or clan in check. “Bloodsuckers and their stupid dead brains,” Celie muttered, “Oi. You are one of them now,” Damian shoots back without any heat.“As if I wanted to be one,” she retorts and gives Andrew a withering look which the ma
[Celie] I rush out of the throne room. I don’t bother with whoever follows me, too pre-occupied and curios and not to mention basking in sheer joy in knowing that my potions and medicine still work, even though it hasn’t been that long. I am swifter than I used to be which is the only good thing about being a bloodsucker. I can hear multiple footsteps behind me but I don’t bother with them. What is important now is to see the King and what he has to say. When I enter, the King is already sitting up, looking less pale, less like a ball of flesh and bones and more like a vampire albeit too fragile to look menacing. I come to a halt and bow. “Your Highness.” I hear a few begin to whisper as they stand slightly afar, wary but curious. Alexandra and Andrew step forward, creating somewhat of a barrier between the crowd and me. “You did an amazing job,” Andrew says in a low tone, his voice filled with awe.. I ignore his praise and the effect it has on me. “You wanted to speak with me?” I
[Myra] We were near the castle gate; we spotted Kaia at the gate and it was like déjà vu as she came running towards us. “Everything is a mess!” “What happened?” Damian asks. “Celie was treating the King after I brought her the ingredients required. But then someone barged into the room and, looking at the king, they began to call the others. Everyone thinks that we are bluffing, and the King is still in that same state. We exchange a worried glance before hurrying towards the Queen’s chambers and I can only gape at the sight as I spot Andrew and Alexandra standing guard, their expressions menacing while a vampire, Caleb I think leers, “Oh c’mon, you want us to believe that this is the dead King? That shrivelled up thing?” Another she-vampire, agrees in a nasal tone, “He is right. You can’t really feed us such bullshit. Why did you get the news and we did not? And why should we believe you without proof?” I glance at Damian and find him looking pissed at the hubbub. We are ab
