RICK FORSON“YOU HEARD ME,” Rick said smugly, feeling good about himself. “I asked her to marry me. And she said said.”“Marry,” Jones said in an incredulous voice. “Marry… like a human.” He cocked his head. “that type of marriage…”Rick scoffed. “is there another type of marriage?” he snapped.“But you are already mated, aren’t you?” jones asked. “there was no need to ask her to marry you…”Rick chuffed and walked away, suddenly angry because he knew Jones was right. There was no need to ask for her hand in marriage. Werewolves didn’t normally do that, not unless they were going to be chosen mates. “I want this time to be different,” he said under his breath. “You have been studying the humans too much,” Jones replied. “I have been studying the success of Mitch Chester,” Rick countered.“Did he get married like a human?”Rick chuckled dryly. “keep up this attitude and maybe he will be my bestman, not you.”Jones smirked. “you would not do that.”“Try me,” Rick said, sitting down on
RICK FORSON“I TOLD BETH to leave the house today,” Rick said, chuckling. He lay on his side and gently brushed the hair from Reine's face. “why would you do that?” she asked. She didn’t look pleased about it. ”where would she stay?”“I did it for you, Reine,” Rick said. She pulled away and got up from bed, pulling the sheets along with her. He sat up, surprised at her reaction. This was not how he expected her to react. She should have been happy, after all, Beth had treated her like thrash for years. “Reine…” he said. She did not respond, she simply walked out of the room with the sheet trailing behind her. He sighed in frustration and shrugged on his shorts before going out to the kitchen. “Breakfast?” she asked without any emotions.“Yeah,” he said, sliding into a seat at the table.In a few silent minutes, she had the whole cabin filled with the aroma of breakfast. She dished his food and placed it on the table, sitting opposite him and crossing her hand on the table. Rick imme
AFTER OVER THREE weeks of constant sex, giggling, and happiness from both Rick and Reine, the pack was finally doing well as Jones had invested some of the treasury in some shares that were now bringing in profit and helping the financial state of the pack which rick was glad about, they finally decided to fix a date for the wedding.“Are you going to call the mountain Alps kingdom, or should I?” Rick asked Reine. They were in bed, sweaty with sexual exhaustion. “I am going to call Luna Anna,” Reine said, rolling over from his body. Rick's wolf growled in annoyance, he reached out and pulled her closer to him. “the beta does not seem to support this. The wedding and us.”Rick scoffed. “don’t pay Jones any attention.” He said. He kind of understood how Jones was feeling. The beta had never had or found his mate all his life, whereas Rick had been blessed with a second chance now, it was normal for Jones to feel a bit antagonistic towards them. He might think the moon goddess is being
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERPREGNANT?? That was... an unexpected news. "Are you sure?" I asked."I am sure, Luna," she nodded. "I just did the test. It's positive."At least she was taking more determined steps than I was, I thought to myself. My hand subconsciously went to my stomach and rubbed it fondly. What a coincidence that we got pregnant a almost the same time. "Luna, are you there?" Reine's voice came through."Yes, I am," I said. "What were you saying?""I am very happy for the pregnancy," she said, and really, she sounded happy. I was happy for her, too, but I didn't know how Rick would take the pregnancy."What of your mate?" I asked slowly. "Did he accept it?""He doesn't know," she said in a small voice. Oh, so that made both of us. I was pregnant, and Mitch didn't know about it."He just left here a few minutes ago," Reine added."Oh, he did?" I asked, surprised. So they are getting along very well. That's good. "Is he treating you right?" I asked, feeling my old doubts about
MITCH CHESTER “ANNA TOOK IT well, don't you think?” Mitch asked as he and Draco went to his office. “She did,” Draco nodded. “What else did the vampire say?” Mitch made sure the door of his office was closed securely before he said, “ He practically offered an alliance.” “What?” “I know it's crazy,” Mitch chuckled, walking to his seat. b “You can't really believe him,” Draco said. “Who knows?” Mitch shrugged. “This might actually be a good thing,” he said, ignoring the shocked look on Draco's face as he sat down and made himself comfortable before continuing, “I did not get to this position by ignoring offers that have the chance to help me.” “Have you ever had a deal with a vampire before?” Draco asked. Mitch shook his head and said, “Well, there is always a first time to everything.” “Not with making an agreement with a vampire and expecting it to keep to the deal,” Draco said. “There will be no second time.” Mitch laughed. “You are being very dramatic.” He sa
MITCH CHESTERAs Mitch walked into the bedroom. The light coming from the window came through her gown, highlighting her figure underneath. "Anna?" He called out. She turned and looked at him, her eyes softened as her face broke into a smile.Mitch took some steps back to catch his breath. Anna sat on the bed; her gown rode up her thighs, exposing more skin."I didn't think you would be back this early!" She exclaimed and stood from the bed, moving towards him. The nightdress barely brushed the top of her thighs; if she stretched, her cleft would be on full display. The sight of her body was doing the unthinkable to his own body.He stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. So soft. She closed her eyes and rubbed her face against his hand. Mitch groaned, lifted her chin, and kissed her.It started out gentle, even hesitant, as if he was an inexperienced, sixteen year old boy. Their lips brushed; hers quivered. He nibbled, and she nibbled back. He’d quit moving, except for his han
MITCH CHESTERSHE WAS PREGNANT; he could not believe it. His Anna was pregnant. She had a baby Lycan in her womb. The first hybrid between Lycan and Werewolf. His brain took a longer time to process everything. He sat up and looked at her, trying to figure out what she was thinking. This was a good thing, wasn't it? He asked himself. She didn't look so pleased. She kept her eyes averted.Mitch placed a hand on her stomach; she looked up at him in surprise. "The baby... our baby... are you sure?" He asked softly.She shook her head. "I didn't want to tell you until I was sure," she said. "But I could not hold it in anymore. I don't know what is wrong with me.""Shhh," Mitch silenced her. "There is nothing wrong with you.""The pregnancy hormones should not be this strong," she said. "And it's even too early for anything now.""You forget that you are not carrying just a werewolf," Mitch said. "Lycan pregnancy is much different."Anna groaned."I will call my mother," Mitch said. "There
“HOW IS THE job I gave you?” Vladimir asked as Vorenus walked into the room. “huh?” vorenus asked dumbly. “Bartholomew, get me a drink, will you?”“of course, sir,” the butler said, bowing. “blood or…”“just get me a fucking scotch,” Vorenus muttered. “in fact, don’t bother.” In a flash, he was at the bar, grabbing a drink from the refrigerator. Bartholomew bowed and walked out.“you should give the man a break,” Vladimir chuckled. “he is only human after all.”“And you should change him,” Vorenus said, wiping a smudge of frink that ran down the side of his mouth. “make him a sire. It would save you from a lot of incompetence, and you wouldn’t have to change butlers after another 80 years because he would live as long as us.” Vorenus placed the bottle on the glass counter, watching the glass stain with cold water running down the sides of the bottle.“I don’t want to spoil a perfectly good thing,” Vladimir said and Vorenus scoffed. “humans are far from perfect,” Vorenus muttered.“Ma
MITCH CHESTER “HAVE GUARDS PATROL the area,“ Mitch said, trying hard to rein in the panic he was feeling. “Quickly.“ Draco nodded and gave out his commands to every available guards to be on the search for Lorna. “No one knows how long she has been gone for. She might be out of the kingdom now.“ Mitch growled. “Just tell them to search.“ “We should probably get back,“ Draco said, turning to look around. Mitch nodded. He looked at Vorenus. Draco could see the hesitation in Mitch's body language. He knew what mitch was about to do. He dipped his hand into his pocket and tossed a small object at Vorenus who caught it easily, confused at what it was. Suddenly there was a sizzling sound and vorenus dropped the object quickly. The smell of burnt flesh filled the air and Drcao nodded in satisfaction. “What was that?“ Vorenus growled. “Silver, “Draco said. “Silver bullets. It is going to be our trump card.“ Vorenus shook his palm gingerly as the wound healed back immediately. “I can i
MITCH CHESTER“YOU ARE GOING to crash the car,“ Draco said, holding on to the side of his seat as Mitch drove like a blind bat.Mitch scoffed without slowing down. He pressed down on the pedal, and the car shot even faster. “This fucking snow,“ he growled as he screeched to a stop. The tires of the car were stuck in the thick layer of snow. He got out of the car; his legs sank almost to his knees.Draco came out too, cursing under his breath. “I wonder whose idea it was to get electric cars to drive over snow,“ he looked at Mitch and added sarcastically. “Oh wait, it was your brilliant idea.“Mitch rubbed his chin and said, “Maybe I should have gone with your idea and bought electric sleds instead.“Draco scoffed, kicking at the snow.Mitch looked around. His breath vaporized from his mouth as he breathed out. “Come, we are not far,“ he said to Draco.“Sometimes I wonder why I follow you,“ Draco said as they walked away from the stuck car. “This is crazy. You can't just stand up and w
MITCH CHESTERMITCH KNEW HIS mind should be at rest now that he had reinforcements, but his mind was still worried. He had no doubts that it was because his mate was still out there in danger, his son was lying in bed, unconscious and blind, and his kingdom was on the brink of civil war.He paced the length of the room anxiously, his eyes drifting into the dancing fireplace as he walked past. A small knock came at the door. “Come in,“ he called.The door opened, and Draco came in. He took a look around the small, almost empty room and shook his head, saying, “You are still sleeping here.“Mitch chuffed and nodded, “I can't stay in the master chambers alone. Anna should be with me.“Draco nodded and said, “I understand that, but…“ He looked around again. “I am sure you can do better than a tiny room. There is even no air conditon -““No one uses air conditioning here, Draco,“ Mitch said. He sat on the bed heavily; it creaked under his weight.“There is no ventilation,“ Draco continued,
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERTHE DINNER PROGRESSED silently between me and Janet after Vladimir left. I was not inclined to say anything to her, so I ignored all the stares she sent my way. I was focused on the meal, because I do not know the next time I would eat again. It might not be until the ritual, and if I had any hopes of escaping, then I need all the energy I can get.When I had eaten to my fill, I sat back, watching Janet's thin hands pick at her food tastelessly.“You are vegan,“ I said, noting that there was no meat nor fish on her plate.She scoffed, “Unlike you savages, I care about the lives of animals.“ She stuffed a strip of carrot into her mouth. “I heard that you dogs even eat raw meat. That is just disgusting.““And yet you sleep with a man - a creature that drinks raw blood… you don’t think that is disgusting?“ I retorted, knowing that she was right about us eating raw meat. Sometimes when in our wolf skin, he could go hunting and eat whatever we catch, which could range fr
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERHOLDING ON TO Vorenus softly as he led me out, We walked up a flight of stairs and down a hallway till we stopped in front of a thick, mahogany wood. I took a deep breath as Vorenus pushed the door open and stood aside to let me through. Taking careful steps, I walked into the room. It was like a large hall, lit up beautifully with gold chandeliers. There was a small round table in the middle of the room, and Vorenus was seated at the head of the table.He looked at me as I walked in; his eyes widened slightly, but that was the only reaction he gave. His human mistress sat beside me; the look she gave was a nasty, dirty stare, but she kept her mouth shut. Vladimir's eyes followed me all the way to the table. I nodded at him curtly and took a seat. The table was filled with many delicacies, and even a full roast pig sat in the center.“Thank you for coming,“ Vladimir said.It was not like I had any option; I scoffed under my breath. I turned and looked behind me, exp
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
