MITCH CHESTERHE WALKED FOR a few more minutes before he crossed the border. He glanced behind him to make sure he was not being followed. There was nothing out of place. He was at the Northern border, which was the area that had the most hectic weather conditions. It was also the part of the kingdom that was connected with the highest mountains with steep terrains. His patrol guards barely patrolled these parts, because no living thing with a brain would even think of getting caught up in a snow storm or the constant hail storms that ravaged these parts.This was where his uncle Enrique has kept the vampire king through all these centuries, and where the vampire king had escaped through and no one saw a thing. Mitch’s beast surfaced slightly, enveloping Mitch in a thin layer of fur to keep him slightly warm against the weather. He looked around, trying to follow the tingling of his senses that led him here.He squinted and tried to look to the north, up the mountains but he could no
“WE ARE LANDING now, sir. Please fasten your seatbelt,” the voice of his private pilot said through the speakers.Vladimir chuffed and secured himself out of formality. A few minutes later, the plane touched down and taxied along the runway. It eased to a stop and the air hostess opened the door while another pulled his luggage from the compartment.“Welcome to Italy, sir,” the air hostess greeted as he went down the stairs. “Have an enjoyable stay.”Vladimir snorted. He looked up at the sky. It would be a full moon in a few days. A night for werewolves to refill the energies of their wolf spirit from the moon goddess. His skin was pale and white, reflecting the blue hue from the moon in the dark airport. He got into the limousine waiting to take him to one of his hotels located in the city of Madrid. As he was being driven out of the airport, Vladimir looked out the window. He had not been here in centuries. Things had changed since then so he was both surprised and impressed that h
SHE RETURNED THE kiss with passionate fervor. Her tongue brushed his lower lip erotically and his arms involuntarily tightened around her. Her hand wrapped around his neck tentatively and brushed his nape.He pulled back and looked at her, she stared back at him with unabashed desire in her eyes, her head tilted slightly at an angle and her lips were parted and moist. It could be that she was genuinely attracted to him for his looks, he reached up and stroked her chin with feathery touches… or she was just a gold digger who came here with the intention of seducing him, just to climb the social ladder and be in a relationship with one of the richest and most influential business moguls of the country.Not that he cared what her reason was, but she was in for a shock when this was all over. He chuckled and leaned down to kiss her again, then he carried her easily – she was slim and lithe – to the will. He pressed her against the glass and tore open her clothes, as her hands ravished his
ANNA KYLIN CHESTER“SHALL WE TAKE him to the hospital, Luna?” the guard asked me. I pulled myself from my deep thoughts and looked at them, confused.“The Beta...” the guard said, “He is ill, right? Should we take him to the hospital?”I shook my head. “No, no.” I pointed in the direction of his house. “We will take him to his house. His mate will take care of him there. Here, put him in the buggy.”They nodded and moved in unison, carrying Draco easily to place him in the back of the car. Two of them got in beside the slumped Beta while I got in behind the wheel. “Keep a close eye on our guest,” I said. “I don’t trust him. Make sure his location is known at all times, okay?” “Yes, Luna!” they saluted and marched back to the palace while I drove off slowly. I managed to stop my mind from straying as I drove to Draco’s house. I eased to a stop in his drive way and the two guards went to carry him out. I wondered if Hilda would be home by this time. Draco, being the Beta, got enough m
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERI GOT TO the palace, once again having the feeling of it, being too big and spacious. I sighed as I walked through and headed to my library."Luna," Patty called, hurrying from the kitchen. She wiped her hand on a napkin. "The Alpha went out."My brows drew together. "Did he say where he was going?"She shook her head. "He only said he was going out on a walk."I frowned even deeper as I looked out the window. The skies over the Northern side were Grey and heavy. There was a storm incoming. "A walk in this weather?" I asked myself.She shrugged. "He said he will be back soon.""Thank you, Patty," I said, reaching out to touch her hand. "Lunch is ready," She told me. "Should I serve the table or have them bring it to your chambers?"I shook my head. "I am not exactly hungry. But don't worry," I quickly added. "I will eat, just not now, okay?" She seemed displeased but she nodded. "Okay, Luna.""Are the children back from school?" I asked. And just on cue, the front
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERTO MY SURPRISE, the first person who came down for dinner was Elijah. Immediately he came down, he popped his head through the door, but he was not expecting to see me, because he froze and looked down."Did you want something?" I asked softly.I nodded glumly and walked in. "Water," he said, going to the tap and pouring out a glass of water. I did not point out to him that we did not drink water from the tap. Nothing was going to happen to him, but I knew he was lying. He did not come down here for tap water.He struggled to finish the glass cup, then belched before he walked out without meeting my eyes. I was still confused as I opened and brought out the large piece of steak. I looked at the thermometer. I must have over cooked it. I was not good at this, I groaned as I struggled to handle the hot tray even though I was wearing thick mittens."Let me get that, Luna," Patty came up beside me and easily carried the tray out - with her bare hands. I watched her in
ANNA KYLIN CHESTER AS I WENT down the stairs, I tried to put my worry about Mitch out of my mind. I put a soft smile on my face as I entered the dining room. The table was fully set already.I took a seat at the head of the table - where Mitch would normally sit."What of Dad?" Aiden asked. "Where is he?""He will not be joining us tonight," I said. "He is not feeling so well.""But you will treat him, right?" Addison asked. I nodded. She grinned and leaned closer to Hailie. "My mum is a doctor. The best doctor in the world."I cleared my throat. "Thank you for joining us, Mr. Charles," I said. "Children, this is Mr. Charles Barnes. He is a representative of the council."He nodded and smiled grimly. "Thank you for having me." He said.I rubbed my hand. "Let's eat," I said. "Watch not to stain your clothes, children," I said as Aiden and Addison reached out to scoop out their meals with enthusiasm. Some kitchen hands immediately came over to help the children."So," Charles said. I n
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERI HUNG AROUND the children's room as I waited for Enrique and Charles to bond. I chuckled. If Mitch intimidated Charles, I could not imagine how he was feeling now that he was being grilled by Enrique. I almost felt pity for him."You want some?" Addison's voice made me look at them. She was offering her plate of food to Hailie who nodded and joined her.Aiden was already in his bed, covered up and ready to sleep. I went to him and brushed his hair away from his forehead. "You didn't brush your teeth," I said softly.He closed his eyes immediately.I chuckled. "I am not fooled, young man," I opened the covers and said. "Out, now. You have to brush twice every day. You know that."He groaned and got out of bed."You both had better follow him now so you won't forget," I said to Addison and Hailie. They nodded and dropped the plate before going to the bathroom. I handed the plate to one of the standby nannies, "Help me take that to the kitchen, would you?"She nodded
