ANNA KYLIN CHESTER THE REST OF the day went quite well after my little "advnture" with Enrique in the hospital. I took a stroll by the trading center. Some new stuff came in from the human town - mostly things we couldn't get or grow here, like fruits, some veggies, and other groceries. While I was with the traders, the furniture truck for Lorna's house came in a few hours after noon. I went there to see what was going on. Draco was there to organize them. I got word that the Senate was meeting and I needed to attend. I had never attended a Senate meeting without Mitch by my side before."Do you need me to be there?" Draco asked, but I shook my head. "Are you sure?" He pressed. "Bob has a very mean streak against you. Are you sure you'll be okay? I can leave all of this and join you there." He turned to one of the men carrying the furniture and yelled, "Oi, not there! Put the cane chairs outside on the patio, the brown couches are going to be inside the living room, you hear me?"H
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERI GOT TO the school just in time as the bell rang for closing time and children poured out of the front doors. The two guards assigned to watch the school during the daytime came to stand with me, eyes and senses on alert as we waited for the children to come through.As the clock ticked, my mind started imagining different case scenarios. And none of them were good.Maybe the vampire king had found his way into the school and snatched the children when the guards didn't know. Or maybe the council had wanted to bring Mitch out using the children, so they had kidnapped the kids and used them as bait... my mind kept on churning different awful thoughts until to my imminent relief, the familiar heads of my children bobbed in the crowd.It was Olly who saw me first, he gripped Aiden's hand and pointed at me, waiting by the car. Aiden gasped and frantically beat at his sister to get her attention, then they tore through the crowd mindlessly. This was the first time I saw
ANNA KYLIN CHESTER "REINE?" I COUGHED back the sudden rush of emotions that clouded my body. "Reine? Is that really you?" "It is me, Luna," she replied. Her voice was also thick with emotion. Tears flooded my eyes, and I covered my mouth with my hand and shook with emotions."I am sorry for leaving you-" I said. "I should never have made a promise that I could not keep. I keep wondering how bad things are -""Luna -""Don't say anything to comfort me, Reine," I sniffled. "You don't have to be so kind. I messed up by leaving you with my monster of a sister and her mate -""Luna -" Reine tried to cut in again."No, no, Reine," I interrupted, wiping my tears from my face. I closed my eyes and imagined what Beth had done to Reine after she woke up from the slap I gave her. My head was filling up with the worst case scenarios of everything."Luna!" Reine said with a strength in her voice that I never noticed before. My wolf spirit, Ava, immediately felt the power from the single word. It
RICK FORSONOUT OF COURTESY, Rick had offered to help Mitch in the search through the scrolls and old books from the study, but as he did that, his mind constantly went back to his mate, who he was sure was waiting for him in her room.He felt elated and constantly thanked the moon goddess for giving him a second-chance mate, or was it his first fated mate? He wondered as he opened to another page on a leather book and his eyes skimmed through thr pages for any mention of the Kylin history.Reine was his first fated mate. He smiled.He and Anna were happy with each other before Beth came into their lives, but they had not been fated together. They chose each other out of convenience, and had made things work - that is, until Beth came swooping down with her deceit and lies."Rick?" Jones voice entered Rick's head through the mindlink.Rick shook himself out of his thoughts and looked at Jones, who gestured at Rick's hand. Rick looked down and saw that he was gripping the page very tig
MITCH CHESTERTHE BOOK WAS boring as fuck. And that was even an understatement. He could feel his eyes closing as he read line after line. He knew more things now than he wanted to, but not what was necessary.He never knew that Anna's great grandmother was a red wolf. Red wolves were extremely rare, and came only once or twice in a century. Some packs and tribes believed that they had some superstitious powers, but nothing had been proven yet. Most people just took it as a mutation of some sort - just like albinism was to humans.Knowing that Anna's great grandmother was a red wolf was of no importance to him, or his cause, but he now knew it nevertheless.He closed the last page of the book and leaned back, stretching his back and feeling the pop of his spine as it moved after a long time of staying stiff.He reached for the bottle of whiskey and noticed that it was almost empty. He drained the last one in a gulp and placed the bottle on the floor, looking around. Alpha Rick was now
MITCH CHESTERANNA WAS NEVER like that, Mitch muttered to himself. She was never angry at another person's happiness, especially when she knew how relevant the mate bond was."Maybe that is why she is not in support of it," his beast growled. Maybe she needed to see Rick and Reine together and see how perfect they were for each other.As he walked to his suite, he felt a pair of eyes burning into his back. He turned sharply, but didn't see anybody or anything in the darkness. He continued his walk, but he knew there was someone out there watching him. His instinct told him so, and he always believed his instinct, no matter what; it had saved his life many times. He could not sniff the person nor hear anything except the sound of the night insects, but he could still feel the gaze of someone on him. He chuffed and entered his suite, closing the door behind him gently.He shrugged off his shirt and reached for his phone, dialing the kingdom line. It was answered on the second ring."D
MITCH CHESTERGONE WERE THE days when Mitch was insecure about how the children really saw him. Now, he knew they called him "Dad" but it was proper for them to meet their father. The man with whom they shared 50 percent of their genes. Mitch went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, and suddenly, feeling tired, he crashed on the bed and slept off.He awoke a few hours later to the sound of the bustling pack around. Bright sun rays were coming from the window, lighting up the room. He glanced at the bedside clock. It was past 7. He had not gotten barely enough sleep, but that was all he was going to get, so he got up from bed and stretched to relieve the ache in his neck and shoulders.He washed up again and dressed up, taking a hot cup of coffee from the mixer as he walked out. He leaned against the doorframe of his room and watched the activities of the pack while sipping on the coffee. Seeing the clear skies without the mountains and snowy weather felt quite unusual to Mitch a
THEIR EYES MET in a clash of fiery passion and heat, and she immediately know that they were at their breaking point. She stepped out of the burning house, walking up to meet him.Scooping her into his arms, trapping her hands, he kissed her. Not any kind of panic sloppy kissing, but this was something else. This was a preview, a warning. Vladimir liked this part, and he was good at it. So he’d take it slow for the next few minutes because soon, the moment he had that dress off, her, in fact, it was going to get crazy again. Messy, wet and hot, and while he couldn’t do everything he used to, he could do plenty.He tasted the cherry-red flavour of wine on her lips, before delving deeper into the kiss. Her moan was low as she fought with his tongue. He moved his hands under her hair until he found the top of her dress, the zipper hidden inconveniently behind a fold of material, but he found it soon enough . His cock hardened as the zipper lowered until it hit bottom.The feel of her sk
