Nari I tried to contact Kurat the same way the next night but I couldn't reach him . My heart was restless and my Lycan was like a caged animal wanting to go find her mate . I Couldn't take the chance letting her out , she was slowly getting more feral as the time we were apart grew . Everyone is trying to be supportive , but this is crushing me from the inside and slowly it's like part of my soul is missing and I guess in a way it is . My Father had spent as much time with me as i allowed but if i am honest i just wanted to be alone surrounded by my mates scent . I refused to allow the maids or anyone else in our room , in case they changed the smell of him in our own private room . I cried myself to sleep for two nights . On the third day since I had spoken to him I was sitting in the private dining room with the family with them all discussing strategies , when I fell to my knees the most blinding pain shot through me . I took a few moments to realise the screams of agony were
Ezekiel My emotions are all over the place at the moment . My heart is breaking watching her withdraw into herself , I know she misses her Mate . I wish I could take the pain from her or at least ease it a little . Watching her master the Astral Projection was the proudest moment of my life . She was so like my mother it made me smile and feel sad at the same time . Kendrik had called last night to say he would be arriving today . He had been wanting to talk to Nari but I had explained she was not coping well at the moment . If i wasnt with Nari I was with Tynan and his other sons , Gideon with the image of his mother and full of life . Ratnik was a little more reserved and an amazing strategist , no wonder Tynan had put him in charge of the army . There was some tension between Ratnik and Pouli . Pouli had a long way to go to live up to his fathers standards . He was a bit of a hot headed young man and I hope he removes his head from his ass sometime very soon . If i am comp
Nari My Lycan was almost ecstatic that she was being allowed out to find Kurat . Myst would be by my side , we would both be in our fur , I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited to see Myst in her fur . She was a black panther . The love and pride in Gideon's eyes as he looks down at her as she walks tall , well as tall as she can at her small five foot height . She might be small in height but her aura is powerful. I am glad she is on our side . I don't like to pry into people's lives but I know there is more going on in Myst’s life but the fact she has come back to help me means more to me than ever . My Lycan has my wound up like a ball of nervous energy , waiting to explode . We get out the suv’s about a mile from the border to Varns pack , we would shift and run the rest of the way . I knew Myst was nervous about shifting , but she never gave me a reason why and i didnt like to ask . However I did hear her say to Gideon she would deal with her father when it came . I
Nari My blood was running cold as I stared at the evil that was Lillybeth , except her features were distorted . In her clutches are Psalm , the five year old has tears running down her face and her eyes are wide as she cries and holds her hands out to me . “Shift back or I will rip her pretty little head from her body” She snarls at me , even her voice sounds deeper . ‘Ratnik , anyone , I am at the packhouse . Lillybeth has Psalm , she's demanding I shift back . I can feel Kurat , he’s in the packhouse please someone find him’ I shout over the mind-link to anyone who could hear me . ‘Do not shift back , hold her off Nari i am on my way’ Shouts Ratnik back . I knew I shouldn't shift but as I watched her long claw like nail’s dig into Psalms neck , a small amount of blood trickled from where her nails were digging into her young flesh . I could hear the howl of Ezekiel making his way towards me and a sense of relief washes over . “I said fucking shift back” She screams at me
Prince Kurat I can feel her getting closer , even my Lycan is starting to stir . The noise from above is crazy , the amount of howling going on is phenomenal . Every now and then I can hear someone I know . Hada sits quiet , her little eyes are wide as she inches closer to me . I can see the tremble of her little body , I can smell the fear coming off her . I can't wait for Nari to meet her , I know my mate will love her . Nari’s heart is so big and full of love she will welcome Hada with open arms . My Lycan is awakening , he can feel his mate , I smile to myself at this . “I can feel her,” Hada says in a small voice that I almost missed . “Who , can you feel?” I ask with a frown, surely she can't feel Nari already . “Mother , I can feel her” Fuck if she can feel her mother and i can feel Nari what are the chances of them being in the same place . I hear a howl of pain then her voice . ‘Kurat if you can hear me , I love you . Come for me’ My heart sinks at her last word
Nari The minute I reached the bitch she pushed Psalm away from her and dragged me through the portal . Don't get me wrong I am glad that the poor child was safe but this bitch has no fucking idea whats waiting for her . My Lycan is almost salivating at the thought of ripping her heart from her chest and watching the light leave her already dead eyes . As soon as my feet hit hard ground I scan the area , we seem to be in an old deserted building . The place has a strange smell to it , almost like death but old death . I know that sounds stupid but that's the only way to describe it . There are windows but they are at least thirty feet off the floor , broken or dirty . The sound of someone coming has me spin around ; Oh fucking great the ugly bunch and little miss spoilt . I roll my eyes at the way Shivia walks over as though she is on a catwalk with her stupid high heels and skintight red dress on . I would honestly laugh at them if it wasn't for the fact I wanted to get back
Prince KuratIt's been almost twenty four hours since Nari was taken , the only comfort I have is she has her Lycan . Let's face it her Lycan has a lust for blood it would take someone of our rank or higher to take down her Lycan . Hada has not left my side , she seems to want to stay close to me and I understand . My Mother had taken her and showered her then gave her some new warm clothes . She's so thin and small for her age , I guess that's what comes with neglect . She is not much bigger than Psalm who is only just turned six . Talking of Psalm the girl has stopped talking and just repeats Nari’s name . Although both girls seem to have taken a shine to each other , offering each other the comfort they both seek at the moment . I had Anna the head maid make up the room next to ours , Nari’s old room for the girls . I could feel my eldest brother Pouli staring at me and when I looked up he had a goofy grin on his face . “What?” I snapped at him , he just smiled and shook his he
Queen Eulalie My eyes shoot open and I sit up in bed , it's still dark so I know it's the middle of the night . My heart is hammering off my chest , Tynan sits up next to me . “Darling, what's wrong?” He asks concern all over his face as he places his hand on my cheek . What people don't know is every time I had any of my sons I blood bound them to me so if anything is wrong I know , only Tynan knows this . “Kurat , we need to find him now” I say as I throw my legs over the side of the bed and slip my feet into my slippers before grabbing my house coat . I can hear Tynan not far behind me but I need to get to my baby , he is in extreme pain and uncontactable through the mind-link . I allow my magic to come forward and follow the bond until I see him just before the treeline lying on the ground . He is covered in a cold sweat in the foetal position unconscious . “Call some of the guards we need to get him inside” I call Tynan as i reach Kurat and kneel beside him . His aura
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
