MITCH CHESTERMITCH WATCHED ANNA hurry away with a frown on his face. Something was wrong, but what?There was no point denying the sparks that had been flying between them since she came back. When their fingers grazed as they toasted, he felt the electricity zap through his arm and numb his fingers."Is anything the problem?" Draco's voice flitted into his head.He shook his head, both in answer and to snap himself from his reverie. He looked around the table, Emily and Hilda were engrossed in a conversation about some human affairs. Lorna had the ghost of a smile on her lips as she regarded Mitch. Her smile was irking him. It was like she knew something that no one else did."Psst... Aiden," Addison whispered from the stairway.Aiden looked up at his sister."They are here," Addison said in a loud whisper. "Come. The tea party will begin without you."Aiden shrugged. "I don't want to join your stupid tea party anyway." Addison stuck out her tongue at him. "Your loss." She flipped
HE HELD HER face gently in his hands, giving her the freedom to pull away if she wanted, but her hands went up to circle his neck and she deepened the kiss. He pushed forward gently so she was on her back and his body hovered over her. He rested his weight on on elbow to keep from crushing her.Mitch's kiss was surprisingly gentle as his lips claimed hers. He pulled away and looked at her. Her eyes mirrored his and were dark with desire, like deep dark swirling pools. She kissed him back. They fit together so well— they always did— no loose lips or awkward silence where it wasn’t wanted. He kissed her with perfect control, and Anna was pretty sure she could go on kissing him for the rest of her life and be thrilled every time.Her hands reached up and slid through the hair on the nape of his neck. Mitch growled, pushing even further into her mouth. He pressed her against the wall, his hands grabbing at her ass.Eventually, though, her breath became short and her involuntary moans mor
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERI WOKE UP in the middle of the night, or was it early morning? I woke up from a dream I was having. It was a sensual dream that involved body exploration and touching in places that had not been touched ever.My breath hitched when I realized that it was no dream. I opened my eyes to see Mitch nestled snuggly between my legs, his face was buried in my mound and his tongue licked and lapped at my clit, sending me waves of pleasurable pain. I gripped the sheets in an effort to control myself, but I still shook uncontrollably. He kissed me down below, loving me tenderly with his tongue."Mitch -" I moaned."Hmm?""Mi - tch..." My breath caught in my throat. "I don't t-think th-at's healthy... ooh..." His tongue touched my overly sensitive tip again. "Oohhh..." I moaned loudly. I felt passion rising in me like fire, clouding my brain and making my inner muscles start to contract as the pressure grew and finally I came, exploding in a downpour of fiery sensation, gushin
RICK FORSON"SHE ESCAPED FROM right under your nose?" Charles was shaking like a pressurized soda can. "You let our only leverage against the Lycan dynasty slip away!""No one knows when she left," Jones said."Of course, no one would," Charles snapped. "Maybe your beloved alpha had something to do with it!""If you are insinuating that I helped Anna to leave the pack against you..." Rick growled, standing up and towering over the much smaller Charles, "Then maybe I have to remind you that I need her here too at the hospital."Charles scoffed and paced the length of the room. "Who was last seen with her?"Rick shrugged. Jones kept mute."Such incompetence!" Charles fumed. "You should have put 4 spies on her as soon as possible. We wouldn't be in this mess!""My pack is currently under-armed," Rick said lazily. He had a little smirk on his face, totally enjoying Charles's comical anger."Find out who was last seen with the doctor!" Charles snarled."There's a mutt that used to spend a
IN A SEMI-DESERTED street, a woman was struggling vainly against a man who had her pressed against the wall. To an outsider, it would seem like the man was forcing himself on the woman, and in a sense, he was. But not in the way you would think.Soon, the woman stopped fighting and sagged into his arms. Her face went pale white as her blood was sucked out. An SUV screeched to a stop and Vladimir stepped out."Who's Fledgling is this?" He asked Vorenus as he walked towards the man who was still sucking on the human woman. Vladimir placed a hand on the man's shoulder. "Don't suck on humans in the middle of the street. You could be seen.""Fuck off!" The vampire snarled.Vladimir sighed. "Which sire vampire created this one?" He asked Vorenus again, who shrugged in response. Vladimir stuck his hand into the vampire's upper back and pulled out his heart. The vampire fell off softly and desiccated. Vladimir caught the human woman as she collapsed. He stared at the woman's white face under
ANNA KYLIN CHESTER"YOU MAKE LITTLE sounds when you sleep," Mitch's soft voice drew me awake. I opened my eyes and stared directly into his deep blue eyes. He was smiling down at me."How long have you been watching me sleep?" I asked."Not long enough," He muttered, leaning down to kiss me, but I turned my face away, embarrassed."I have morning breath," I said.He chuckled. "You think I care?" He gripped my chin and claimed my lips - morning breath and all. He pulled away when I felt his cock starting to rise and press against my thigh. He looked at me again, his eyes filling with desire.I wanted him as much as he wanted me. I took the initiative and slid my hands underneath the sheet to circle his shaft with my small palm and direct him in between my legs. He thrust into me gently, stretching my pussy muscles wider and completing my soul.His eyes never left mine as he moved slowly. Loving me deeply. Shallow thrusts intermixed with deep thrusts were taking me to the edges of ecstas
MITCH CHESTERDRACO'S MESSAGE THROUGH the mindlink had sent shivers down Mitch's spine. He knew something terrible had happened. Even as he went downstairs to the office where Draco was waiting for him. "What is it?" He asked as soon as he entered the office.Draco started to talk, but then he stopped and smirked. "Your neck..."Mitch rubbed his mark softly and nodded."You allowed her to mark you," Draco commented.Mitch nodded. "Yes. We are official now.""I'm happy for you," Draco smiled fondly. "Really, I am. This is good news for everyone in the kingdom."Mitch nodded and went to his seat. "What is going on?"Draco sighed and his demeanor changed. He poured a glass of brandy. "Isn't it too early for that?" Mitch muttered.Draco scoffed. "You are also going to need it," he replied and took a long drink. "I just got some disturbing news.""What is it?""A woman was found dead," Draco said. "A witch."Mitch frowned. "How did she die?""Bitemarks were found on her neck," Draco repl
ANNA KYLIN CHESTER My mind was brewing with many questions but I held my tongue and followed Lorna as she marched in long strides through the street. As I hurried to catch up with her, I ignored the greetings of "Welcome home, Luna," from many of the people that I passed.She got to her cabin and stormed in. When I got in, she was seated on the couch, her face was buried in her face and she was crying silently. I stood awkwardly in the middle of the room, not knowing what to do. After a few seconds of awkwardly standing around, I went to the kitchen.I read somewhere that tea always made things better. I opened her drawer, expecting to see normal coffee seeds and ground tea and milk, but I saw strange plants locked in glass jars. I ransacked the whole kitchen, but I didn't see anything that was vaguely familiar."What are all these?" I wondered. I picked up a shriveled plant from a jar and sniffed it. It smelt like vanilla. It should make a good drink, I concluded, putting it into a k
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERI DO NOT know how long I remained in the cage — listening to the dripping of water in the far dark distance. But I knew when the sun went down, because the mansion became more active, and the sound of night bugs joined in the sound of water droplets.I felt like I was going to run mad, but the door opened and the butler came in. He was human, I was sure of it, but still, there was something off about him. But I could not place my hand on it. He stood a few feet away from my cell and looked at me in a spiteful manner. “My name is Bartholomew the Fourteenth,“ he said.The fourteenth? I asked myself. Does that mean that fourteen generations of this man's family had lived with and worked for Vladimir?“What you are thinking is exactly correct,“ the butler said. “And no, I cannot read minds, but I could clearly see the confusion written on your face.”“What do you want?“ I asked. If he was going to be anything like the other human in the mansion - Janet, I wanted to prep
320LORNA DID NOT know her next move, or why she washed the mind of this vampire, but she knew she had to do something, and this seemed like the first step.“Rise,“ she commanded.The vampire stood up robotically and looked at her with his soulless eyes.“What are you doing here?“ she asked him.“Keeping watch on the borders of this kingdom,“ he replied.“Why?““I was just following orders,“ he said.“Whose orders?“ Lorna asked, even though she already knew the answer, but she wanted to be sure.“The king,“ the vampire replied.Lorna scoffed under her breath. Vladimir. She turned and looked at the way she had come from, considering her options. Should she take this vampire back to the kingdom where he could be interviewed by Mitch for information, or should she take the more riskier option and tell the vampire to take her to where Anna was being kept prisoner?She looked back and forth a couple of times, then she made her decision. She was not going back to the kingdom. She and they w
LORNA LOOKED OUT the window and watched as Mitch addressed the guest from the Red Moon pack; she saw the way they looked at him with awe and adoration. They were here out of respect for him and love for Anna.She turned away from the window and went to the bed where Aiden was sleeping, brushing her hand across his forehead. He mumbled something inaudible and shuffled slightly, but he did not wake up. She sighed sadly, wondering what the medical personnel were going to make of this. Aiden was not entirely in a coma. He responded to touch, and she had seen his flicker in his eyelids when Mitch had whispered something in his ear a few hours ago. It was just like he was in a deep slumber without being able to wake up. She imagined it to be like he was trapped in his own body.“If only your mother were here,“ she muttered in a small voice. “She would know what to do to bring you back.“ Lorna spoke gently to herself. She sighed and leaned in to kiss Aiden's forehead. She felt very connected
MITCH CHESTERMITCH COULD FEEL the animosity in the tense air as soon as they walked in. Draco was behind him, and Delta Adam walked beside him as they walked to the front of the hall. All heads followed their movement. Mitch stopped and overlooked the senate; he cleared his throat to stop all side talks and make sure all the attention was on him before he said, “We have some guests in our midst,“ he said in a strong voice. “And I expect us to be hospitable and treat them well.““They are from the inland pack,“ a small, stubby man muttered.“From the lunas former pack,“ Mitch nodded. “And they are here to help us in rescuing her. I hope we will be able to put aside your differences and work together.“The hall was silent for the next few seconds, so Mitch continued, “And they brought some weapons to give us an added advantage,“ he said.“We will be fighting with weapons now?“ Sil asked, astonished, “Like the humans?“Mitch cocked his head and nodded. “I'm afraid so,“ he said. “We need
MITCH CHESTERMITCH SAT DOWN heavily and examined the faces of the members of the Senate before him. They knew something was off in the balance of the kingdom. He cleared his throat and said, “What called for this meeting?““I think the meeting is long over due, Your Highness,“ Lane said in a small voice. Mitch looked around at the nods of agreement around the table.Mitch snorted.“We got the news that we had guests.“ a fat man muttered. “Guest. Warriors from another pack. As if the military in this kingdom is not enough.““So it means there is a heavy war coming,“ Sil said. She paused and continued, “A war that would mean we are accepting help from other inland packs.“A ripple of murmuring went round the pack again.“It is not just any inland pack,“ Mitch said. “They are from the red moon pack. Luna Anna's former pack.““Talking of Luna Anna,“ Sil cut in. “Where is she?“Mitch sighed. Truly, there are so many things that they need to address. Where would he even start? He asked him
MITCH CHESTERMITCH HAD BEEN waiting for the past 20 hours. All the pent up and nervous energy was making him agitated. He hated waiting, but that was what he had been forced to do for the past 20 hours. When he could not take it anymore, he went upstairs to Aiden's room, Lorna was still there. But up in Aiden's room was another waiting session as they waited for him to wake up.Lorna sat up when Mitch walked in. He looked around and noted that Elijah and Oliver were absent. “What of the boys?“ he asked.“They left an hour ago," she replied. “They had to eat and wash up, but I think they will be back here anytime soon.“Mitch nodded and sat down heavily with a sigh. He rubbed his eyes with the heel of his palms.“How did the meeting go?“ Lorna asked after a few seconds of silence.“As fine as it can get,“ he said.“You and Enrique did not clash heads?“ she asked. Everyone knew about the both of them.He shrugged, “We did. But we came to an agreement.“She smiled softly. “That is good
315ANNA KYLIN CHESTERI HAD NO idea how long I had been locked in the cell when the door opened. I sat up expecting it to be Vorenus; instead, it was the skinny, sick looking mistress of Vladimir. Her name was Janet or something like that.She stalked to the front of my cell and pouted at me. “So you are a woman… and pretty too.“ If that was meant to be a compliment, it did not sound so, as it was laced with venom.Gathering some energy, I stood up. I was taller than her and was pleased when she tilted her head to look up at me. She took an involuntary step backward. I smirked at her.“You are never going to take Vladimir from me,“ she blurted.“What?“ I gagged. Who was this dumb lady? “If you are thinking I am here of my own free will to snatch your undead boyfriend, you have the brain of a 15 year old high schooler.“She placed her hand on her hip and frowned. “And what? You have the brain of a mature woman…“ She frowned and leaned closer to me. “Wait a minute, don't I know you?”I
MITCH PACED OUT of the mountain with Draco and Alphonso closely behind him. He paused outside the mountain. Darco came to stand beside him. He could feel his beta brewing with questions, but he ignored it.“That is a high profile prisoner,“ Mitch said to the guards outside. They all nodded with slight frowns on their faces. They could already sense that something was wrong.“Good,“ Mitch muttered and went to a buggy parked by the side.Draco gestured with his head to Alphonso, who immediately jumped into the driver's seat and started the car.“Take us to the palace,“ Mitch said.Alphonso pursed his lips and eased the car out of the snow. Mitch could feel Draco throw him some subtle glances as they made their way to the palace, but he chose not to say anything as he prepared his mind on how he was going to tell them everything.Half an hour later, they pulled into the front gates, and Mitch got out. Draco followed and Alphonso started to drive away but Mitch said, “Come with us, Alphon
MITCH CHESTERDRACO WALKED BEHIND Mitch as he stalked to the dungeons. He could see the path where Charles had been dragged through on the snow. Draco looked at Mitch and saw the tautness of his shoulders and anger in his step, and he knew that Mitch was about to do something drastic.They got to the foot of the mountain from where the dungeons were dug out from. There were two guards standing outside the entrance. They saluted and bowed as Mitch approached.“The traitor?“ Mitch asked in a gruff tone without answering their greetings.“Alphonso took him in, sir,“ one of the guards replied.Mitch grunted and went into the dark hallway. His eyes adjusted quickly, glowing red faintly as he picked his way through the rough terrain, stones and rocks that lined the floor. Draco caught up with him and said, “I can’t remember the last time I was in here.“Mitch chuffed. “I do,“ he replied. “The time Anna threw up on my shoes.“ A slight chuckle bubbled up in his mind, but it dampened when he r
