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
MITCH CHESTER THE REST OF the morning a glum one for Mitch and Draco. After the meeting with Lorna, they had hung around, not knowing what next to do, then Draco had muttered something about taking his mate to the town, and he had walked out.Mitch sat in his office, drinking alone and thinking of what to do. He closed his laptop, unable to look at the gory picture again. It was already engrained in his mind. He could still see the head of the woman lying in the dirt, a few feet away from the body. The tear at the neck was rough like the head had been ripped out savagely.Tiredly of staring blankly at the wall of his office, he stood up and walked out of the palace. "Surely, the morning sun should spark some ideas in me," he muttered as he walked along the street. The weather was clear, he noted staring at the distance. The storm seemed to have blown over and was no longer hovering over the northern mountains.The kingdom was very busy this morning, it was the weekend, so school was
ANNA KYLIN CHESTER WHEN THE SUN went down, it was time for the induction of the new family. Patty stood with her sister's family in the packhall, waiting for Mitch and Draco. I looked at them and stifled the feeling of jealousy in my heart. I wished I had such a lovable relationship with my sister. I had never been to any senate meeting. I knew the members, but not very directly. I knew Lane Cahill, the kingdom's lawyer. He is doing well for himself in the human community as well.Most of the Senate's members stared at me with open hostility. They couldn't do anything to me, of course, because of Mitch, and I was still their Luna even if they didn't like it. I ignored their stares and looked at Liz, Patty's sister. I flashed her a bright smile to encourage her. She returned it with a nervous smile.A few minutes later, the door opened and Mitch walked in, flanked by Draco and two other guards. We all stood up in respect. He sat at the head of the table, Draco by his left side, and
MITCH CHESTER"NEVER HAVE I seen such an overruling," Mitch chuckled as he accepted the glass cup that Draco held out. "You saw it too, yeah?"Draco nodded and rolled his eyes. "I did see it. I was there in the room." He walked to the window and took a sip of the whiskey. "And even if I wasn't there, you have not said anything except describe the faces of the senate when Anna vetoed them."Mitch laughed. He was very proud of Anna. He wasn't expecting her to do anything like that. Coming in, using her Luna aura so strong that it gave him goosebumps, and silencing Bob and all his minions. He swiveled in his chair."You didn't get to induct the family," Draco noted.Mitch nodded. The induction of the new family could have been done that afternoon in the pack hall after the meeting, but Anna had not given them the chance when she came blazing in and then took Liz away. "We'll do it tonight," he sighed. "I think it's even a full moon tonight.""It is.""We can have a full kingdom howl," Mi
ANNA KYLIN CHESTER WHEN THE SUN went down a few hours later, subjects trooped out of their houses excitedly. Wolves were social animals, we enjoyed being with each other, I looked over at Mitch, he was standing at the window, staring down at the street. I walked up to him and rested my head on his arm. "You don't have to," I said.His arms came around me. "The kingdom needs it. It's been a long while since I had them together in their wolf skin.""You are not going to enjoy it," I noted. Lycans were more solitary people. They moved alone and preferred solitude, unlike werewolves."I am not going to enjoy it," He agreed. "But I don't have to enjoy something to do it if it's necessary." He pulled off his clothes and shrugged on a bathrobe. "You should change too," he said to me as he knotted the belt.I nodded and put on a similar bathrobe. The air outside was terribly cold. I rubbed my palms together, to warm up. My breath misted as soon as I breathed out. I could see some people had
IN A DISCREET bar that could easily be ignored if one didn't know it was there before, Vladimir and Vorenus sat at the counter. Vladimir's gaze was pinned on Alice, who was staring at the fat bartender. He could see the bloodthirsty look in her eyes. To Vladimir's humor, the bartender had mistaken the deadly look in her eyes to be lust. The man thinks he can get an easy fuck with a beauty tonight, Vladimir thought to himself."What are we doing here?" Vorenus asked. He tapped his fingers on the chipped counter. "This is not your taste." He looked around at the empty and dim-lit bar."Yes," Vladimir nodded. He gestured at the bartender to bring them some drinks. "This is the bar closest to the Lycans kingdom.""So?" Vorenus snarled. "We don't have to be here. We can put some fledglings here to keep a 24-hour patrol. They will report anything they see to us."Vladimir scoffed. "24 hours patrol..." He started to take a sip of his drink, but he froze when a long melodious howl rang throug
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
MITCH CHESTERMITCH'S MIND WAS divided. He stood up from his chair, where he had just called Rick and was assured that they were going to receive some more help from the Red Moon Pack. He walked out of his office and saw Draco standing there, alongside Alphonso. His eyes took in the ragged and sweaty look on Alphonso, and then he said, “Are you not going to rest?“ he asked. “I would not want my mate's bodyguard to collapse due to fatigue.“Alphonso chuffed and shook his head. “No. Sir,“ he bowed. “I wanted to ask for permission before I head back to the red moon pack to be with the Luna.“Mitch sighed. The poor man did not know that she was taken, and Mitch was still having trouble breaking the news to them.“Your Highness?“ Draco said, calling Mitch from the trance. Mitch shook his head slightly and looked at Draco, who said, “Alphonso is about to leave; is there anything else?“Mitch frowned and nodded. “One more thing,“ he said, “Where is Charles?““We have had him on watch since A
