Thank you for reading , i would really appreciate some review so please feedback is always welcome . MMxx
Nari I have no idea how long I have been here in this place . I feel weak and I can't feel my Lycan , I am naked telling me I have shifted at some point . The overpowering smell of faeces and urine is enough to make my stomach turn . It's dark and I can't hear any other heartbeat so I must be alone . It’s cold and damp , the cold is seeping into my bones . Even though I have just woken up, the tiredness is unreal , something is telling me I need to stay awake . I wish I knew how long I had been here , I miss my mate . Kurat , i hope he is ok , i hope he understands why i had to go with her . I couldn’t allow her to hurt anyone because she wants me , Psalm is innocent . This whole situation is really starting to get me to the point of ending it all . Everything is happening because she wants my power, a power i never knew i had , a power i never wanted . I am so lost in the storm of my own mind I never realised she was standing in front of the cell until she laughed . Shit ; my s
Nari There is something familiar about this place , its cold darkness chills me to the bone . There is something terrifying, almost demonic feeling . I feel like I am not fully in this place , almost intruding on someone else's nightmare . The moment the thought pops into my head I realise that's exactly what I have done , without realising I had crossed planes into someone's nightmare . Well I am already here ; I think as I slowly creep along the dark cold corridor leading to the goddess knows where . I use the wall to guide me , as I walk further into the darkness . The wall curves and I can see a small light further ahead . The closer I get to the light I can hear a small whimper , the smell of blood invading my nose , the undeniable metallic scent has my nose scrunching up . I freeze and extend my hearing listening for heartbeats , two i can pick up two hearts . One heartbeat is very faint, almost like it's dying , then the whimper comes again . The pain in that whimper is
Prince Kurat I wake in my room with my brother Ratnik sleeping in the chair at the side of my bed . It's dark outside but the moon is out and flooding my room with its presence . I am so confused. The last thing I remember is my bond breaking , at that thought I shot up in bed with my heart beating so fast . “Hey , you're awake” says a groggy Ratnik as he stretches . Nari , shit where is my mate? Or is she even still my mate? Is she still alive? “Calm down Kurat , she is fine” He says , clearly noticing my confusion . I frown at him what do you mean calm down , my fucking mate is missing . ‘She is ok , i helped her Lycan protect her’ Came the tired sounding voice of my Lycan . ‘What do you mean you helped her Lycan? I felt the bond snap’ I all but screeched at him . ‘Oh fucking calm down , it was the bond with me i had to stop them taking over her’. I am so confused and my brother must have noticed as he gets up and kneels down in front of me . “Kurat , are you ok?” I loo
Queen Eulalie The minute that Kurat says the word my world turns upside down . Sombrear , The Sombrear coven is one of the worst dark magic covens . My Lycan is growling in my head as she remembers my childhood as the memories of the time I have never told my children about . I have never allowed anyone except Tynan to know of the time they took me to punish my mother for refusing her place as high priestess . She just wanted to live happily with my father, her mate . My mother was powerful but she chose to step away from her coven to live in the pack with my father . For years it was quiet and I was born two years after they got together . She thought they had accepted that she had chosen this life for herself , so she started to relax into her life as a mother and a mate . Three days before my sixth birthday I was snatched from the front garden . I honestly can't remember what happened. I was having a tea party with my dolls then I was in a huge cave type place that had hund
Prince Kurat As I sit and look at my mother after hearing her tell us about her history with this coven, my blood is boiling and all I can think of is getting her back. Why, though? Why would they want Nari? ‘Our mate is powerful, and her Lycan is special’ My Lycan says before disappearing again. Her Lycan is special? What exactly does that mean? My mind is a mess. There are so many questions and not enough answers. Getting back to my room, I change into something loose for shifting and then I go to check on the girls. They are both sound asleep cuddled into each other, making sure the windows are closed and the room is secure before leaving. I almost slammed into Gideon when I walked out the girls room. “Fuck, Gideon you gave me a fright” He just smirks, I notice that he too had changed ready to shift. “Going somewhere?” I ask as he takes me in as well. “Are you going somewhere?” He counters my question and I can't help but laugh. “You know where i am going” I frown at h
Nari My Lycan all of a sudden pushes forward ‘MATE!!’ She all but screams in my head. I have no idea how long I have been here now, I haven't eaten or drank anything and if I am honest I feel extremely weak. I almost feel as though I have imagined it, she had been quiet for days, only one word answers. I guess she is as weak as I am. They stopped coming a few days ago after they had attempted to take my power once again. I had to laugh when they tried to take my blood, my body refused to bleed for them. I feel my Lycan coming forward again, ‘Mate!’ she says in a whisper this time. Is the hunger and starvation getting to her as well? I haven't seen Nyx since the day she told me her mother was going to give her my powers, of course she never believed me when I laughed at her and asked if she really did believe her. I hear the rattle of keys before the big old iron door creaks open. Four robed what I can only assume is females enter the dungeon and make their way towards me. “M
King Ezekiel The moment the Queen accepts her place as head of the coven, the whole place is bathed in a strange black mist and the older witch drops to her knees screaming. At that moment I felt a slight jealousy towards Tynan, not in a bad way. I just wish I had found my mate, unfortunately once Nari was taken I wasted my life in a consistent battle of distruction with my Lycan. Finding my daughter was something I had given up on years ago. Finding out what she had suffered at the hands of others was harder than I could ever imagine. The thought of Nari and Kurat running my kingdom, being with me and having their own little ones makes me smile and feel excited. First we need to get her out of this shit hole, then we can eliminate any other threat to her. I am pulled from my inner thought as Kurat shifts into his Lycan again and surges forward, going to find his mate. Looking to Tynan he nods at me. “Go find her I'll stay here with Eulalie, Gideon and Myst is away already” T
Nari We had been sitting getting to know each other, Hada was such a sweet little thing. She clearly was close to my mate and I appreciated him for looking after her. There is a knock at the door to my room before Ezekiel pops his head around. “Hey, I just wanted to check on you?” My father says with a shy smile, we are still in the getting to know each other stages of our new father and daughter relationship. “Of course come in” I flash him a warm smile and wave him in. He ruffles Hada’s hair as he comes over, he stands looking uncomfortable at the side of the bed. “Ok Hada, let's get you back, you can come see Nari tomorrow, we can bring Psalm.” Kurat says to a disappointed looking Hada, until the mention of her new little friend. Hada comes and gives me a hug with her tiny frame, making my heart contract at the thought of what she’s been through. “I'll see you tomorrow, big sister” She says the last bit with a huge smile on her face, i can't help but chuckle. “And i'll see
EpilogueNariAs I stand and look at myself in the full length mirror I know it’s me but the change in me is unbelievable. I have curves, my eyes are bright and my skin holds a glow it never had before. Having the baby took its toll on my body, Arculus was a big lad. I can't help but smile when I think of my boy, he is getting more like his father everyday. Thinking of his father causes butterflies in my tummy, at times I still can't believe I am mated to the dark prince himself. My Kurat, who would have thought that the same guy who I slapped is the same man I now can’t live without.My hair has grown a bit, it’s now long enough for an updo. My tiara sits tucked into my fancy updo, my father told me this was the very tiara my Grandmother wore for her coronation, the same Grandmother who died trying to save me. Reaching up I touch the beautifully designed crown that sits atop my head, I wonder as my fingers graze the emerald stones if she would be proud of how I grew up? I wish I cou
KuratWe have had so many strange things happening since Gideon left, our borders have been getting hit. Someone is clearly looking for the weakest point. Kendrik and I have been running the fence line together at night before bed. However this is the first time they have managed to breach the wards my mother and Mystique had put in place. The minute the pack alarms sounded I knew this was going to be a nightmare, but keeping my mate and kids safe is all that matters.I am so glad Ratnik is now here, he is one of the best Generals of our time, his hand to hand combat is amazing. Saying goodbye to Nari was hard but I know both our fathers are with them and my mother is incredibly strong and will protect them.I have been shouting orders through the pack-link to our warriors, shifting into my Lycan as we get a mile from the border. The air changes and my Lycan starts to growl, the pack-link goes quiet. Turning from side to side I realise both my brother and Kendrick are in their Lycan b
NariNo, No, no this can't be happening I think as the baby starts to cry clearly being woken by the alarm. My room door bursts open and the girls rush in with wide eyes “Nari, what's happening?” Hada screams as Psalm and she clings to my legs.“Hey, don't panic, we will find out what's going on” I tell them hoping I sound braver than I actually felt. The knock at the door comes as a guard shouts “Princess Nari, we must take you to the bunker at the King's orders” He calls through the door.“Get the door please, Hada” I say as I scoop up the now screaming Arculus and head to the now open door and two guards that are waiting. Gavin, my normal guard stands and I hand him my baby as I take Psalm in my arms and follow them down the stairs.We met my father, and Kurt's parents at the bottom of the stairs. Mama takes the baby and Tynan takes Hada and we follow my father to the back of the palace where the bunker is located. Trying Kurat again I am met with silence and my worry is hitting a
NariIt's been almost two months since Arculus was born, he is such a good baby and the joy he brings to the palace is unbelievable. The girls have been amazing with him, Hada is a proper little mother with him. Psalm is the cutest, I find her talking to him when she thinks no one is looking.My father has surprised me with being so hands on with him. He refers to himself as Pop Pop. He likes to take the baby walks in his pram around the gardens so I can get some rest or do some more training. Mystique and Gideon left about ten days ago, seemingly they have a lot to prepare for. My heart goes out to my best friend. She has so much to do before facing her father. I know she is powerful, but the fear in her eyes will never leave me.Kurats parents are arriving back this afternoon with Ratnik. We need to arrange the Royal offering, this is much like the human version of a christening. We offer up our young to Selene and pray for their safe journey through life until she welcomes them bac
MystiqueThe minute the little king was born I felt it, the power, the connection, the prophecy has been put into motion. Gideon felt it, we both woke at the same time. I have known for a long time what was expected of me, what my father tried to stop from happening.The second Arculus was placed into my arms, the twines of fate were already at work. The power coming off this little bundle of pure joy was stronger than even mine. His aura was strong with the same purple glow of his mother.He is the first of the four, the king to the north. This means if we go by the Prophecy the king to the south is next to be born. Judging by what Bastet told Nari the date has been chosen, that also means he knows where I am.The day Gideon stumbled into our Tribe I knew he was mine, that the Goddess’ had got together and somehow decided to save me from the life of hell I had lived since the day I was born.Gideon was powerful, he intrigued my father. That's why he allowed him to stay on our lands, t
NariArculus, or the little king as everyone calls him is such a good baby. He was born at a whoopin 12 lbs 4oz. He is the image of his father, except this white stripe through his hair. I just love him, I am still in my baby bubble.I haven't had the chance to talk to anyone about the visit from the Goddess. I feel like I really need to tell Mama, she is the one person who knows so much about magic and everything to do with it but I feel like there is something she isnt telling me but i'll talk to her when we are alone.I have been breastfeeding but if I am really honest, I don't think I have enough milk. My son is a big boy, a big hungry boy just like his father. Speaking of his father, Kurat should be home soon. I just lay the pup down when a knock at the door has him wake back up; fuck.Cradling my son to me I go to the door, pulling it open. I almost cry at the sight of my best friend. “Mystique! Oh my, I can’t believe you're here. How did you?” I grip my bestie with one arm as I
Queen EulalieSince the moment Tynan and I arrived in the northern Kingdom we have both been busy. Tynan has been working with Ezekiel and Kurat, while I have been fussing over Nari. My first grandchild is giving his poor mother a hard time.The first time I saw her when we arrived I was shocked at how big she was, her tiny frame. I spoke to her doctor the second day I got here, they honestly don't think she will be able to deliver the baby naturally. In true Nari style she is determined to try.Three days ago while I was checking on Nari, she was sleeping so I was quietly tidying around their room when a small tug, at my magic. It was him, my first grandchild, he has magic and because it’s the same as mine it was drawing it from me.I couldn't stop myself from smiling, he recognised me by our family bonded magic. He is a strong little mage like his uncle Gideon. Gideon started like this, little tugs on my magic. His brothers hold a little but Gideon is powerful, more than he even real
NariPoor Kurat is a mass of nerves, since I was put on bedrest. He has refused to leave the immediate grounds or be any further than ten minutes away. We have just arrived at the hospital, Mama is dealing with my stressed out mate. I am in pain but I also know my Lycan is taking the brunt of it. Getting taken to the delivery suite I was seriously shocked at the changes that has been made. I look at the nurse, she just smiles at me “Your father, your majesty” She says. I just smile and allow her to help me get changed into my gown ready for the little king’s arrival.I can't help but smile at my mother-in-law when she winks at me from behind her son. Kurat takes the seat at the side of me, taking my hand. The pain is coming every few seconds, I am working through my breathing.Within ten minutes I was ready to push, the doctor had checked and I was now fully dilated ready to push. Even with my Lycan taking the brunt of the pain I was really starting to struggle. The need to push was
Prince KuratNari was put on bed rest last week as she is massive and our pup is due any day now. My parents have been here for the past week, my mother has been fussing over Nari. My Father has been working on creating a stronger alliance with Ezekiel, It goes without saying that we have each other's back but for the sake of the elders they are having it all documented. I won’t lie, I am terrified of the thought of our pup being here, just as much as I am excited. I watch Nari take everything that has come her way and she never moans, or feels sorry for herself. And when I say she's huge; I mean she is massive.I have settled into my life here, Ezekiel is a great teacher. He has taken me under his wing showing me all the way this kingdom works. I think he is more excited about the pup’s arrival than anyone else.The girls have settled into the school, they have mixed age classes so they don't have to be separated. This helps as they really don't like to be apart. They have been help
