LAMIA “What happened to you at MacTire?” His question threw me off guard; I knew it was coming, sooner or later. I still stiffened and then sighed. What was the point? It was better to hear it from me than millions of gossip and rumors. Maybe he would be so disgusted that he would stop wanting me. But did I really want him to stop? I found myself being drawn to him with each passing day. “We are going to need more of that for this story“ I pointed to the bottle of rum. I wonder how much of it he drank to actually scent like it. They say your mate's scent is your favorite thing in the world, and I do like a good-tasting, aged dark rum. “Let’s make a deal,” he suddenly said. I cocked an eyebrow at him, willing to hear him out “you tell me your story and I’ll tell you mine. Rescind your challenge and you don’t reject me on the full moon." Now that he let my father out of the cells and was treating us properly, and not ranting and threatening me, I had no intentions of carrying out
Rise of a Queen - Book 2 Chapter 22 – Decisions
MATHIAS 2 days before the full moon I wasn’t planning on it, it just happened. Bear shifters don’t just bite, mark and mate like a wolf. It is a lot more intimate. We imprint on our mates, usually during mating. Then, we would mark them, by exchanging our blood where we wanted our marks to appear and they would manifest in the same spot, no matter who marked who. It is usually the boar that will mark and imprint on the female. Because of how aggressive bear shifters can be during mating, it can be dangerous and we could easily kill our mate. So the moon goddess gave us a more harmonious and devoted way to claim them. Imprinting forms a deep connection with our souls and the souls of our counterparts, her wolf and my beast. When I looked into Lamia’s eyes as I seated myself deep inside her, Arcas came forward and the connection was immediate. Imprinting on her had to be the most sensual thing I have ever experienced. I have never been gentle with a female, but with Lamia, it was a
Rise of a Queen - Book 2 Chapter 23 – An Unexpected Guest
MATHIAS Fuck. I was embarrassed and ashamed that she could still smell the scent of mine and Tobias’ partying from almost a week ago. But then I keep forgetting she is no ordinary wolf. Her nose was as good as mine, maybe even better. Of course, she would be able to scent smells from days ago. I sent Lamia into my room to clean up while I used the other guest bathroom. Oh, how I wanted to be in that shower with her, but if I was, we would never make it to dinner and I had reserved my private table for all of us. Ginny had come back with clothes for her and while she was getting dressed, I stepped into my closet and put on a dark blue navy pinned striped suit. One of my favorites, and a crisp white shirt, forgoing a tie and leaving the top two buttons undone. Just as I was putting on my shoes, the bathroom door opened and it was a good job I was sitting down. The vision before me was wearing a sleeveless silver dress that hung down to her ankles, with a split up on one side. The V
Rise of a Queen - Book 2 Chapter 24 – Birdie
LAMIA One day before the full moon I woke up with the worst headache ever. I groaned, holding my head while I used my other hand to prop me up. I was lying on a soft bed, surrounded by Mathias’ scent. It was comforting, but it was doing little for the drum beating in my temples and the brick weighing my forehead down. I reached over to feel for Mathias, but when I felt nothing, I turned my pounding head to see the bed empty. This was not his room. It was one of the guest rooms. I rubbed my eyes, pulling the cover back to see I was naked. Throwing my feet over the side and rising from the bed, I saw Mathias’ shirt from last night, draped across the chair by a closet. I grabbed it, putting it on. My movements were slower than usual and my legs were shaky. I felt like I had gone 4 rounds with myself and drank a shit ton of booze. The last thing I remember is running out of the elevator from Mathias, in hopes he would chase me and ravage me. Only to hit a brick wall and cough at the
Rise of a Queen - Book 2 Chapter 25 – Odeia, Or not?
LAMIA The voice was familiar, but I couldn’t place it. When the figure stood from the chair, my eyes widened in shock. Her white flowing hair and dark as-night skin were so familiar. It couldn’t be? She turned with a small but genuine smile on her face. Her eyes, an unnatural hue of violet, just like Finnegan’s. “You!” I cried out, gasping and pointing an accusing finger at her. “Ashe?” She was real, I mean like in the flesh real! Not in my dreams. It was too much, the overwhelming feeling, everything she had told me in my dream, the library, Zane… just everything. Everything came crashing down on me at once. I stifled the sob that wracked through my body and felt the tears brim and trickles down my cheeks. My legs gave way and I felt myself crashing to the floor, but I never hit it. The jolts of electricity through my body told me Mathias had caught me. My emotions were overloaded and all-consuming. Mathias took me to the couch and sat me down with him, placing me in his lap.
Rise of a Queen - Book 2 Chapter 26 – Three Sisters and a Paint Job
MATHIAS Day of the full moon Last night, Lamia and I walked back to our cabin in silence, both of us contemplating Odeia’s words. Her explanation mulled through our thoughts. We lay wrapped in each other’s arms and in between tangling our bodies we talked. We talked until we could no longer keep our eyes open, about everything. I told her about Annalise and my unsavory ways. We spoke about Orion and Finnegan and what was to come. She recanted her dream of when Odeia visited her, or Ashe as she knew her. There were no more secrets between us, nothing to get in our way, and nothing to surprise us. I had complete and utter faith in my little wolf. I had a woman who was strong, kind, and beautiful, and all I could hope was to treat her right and give her everything, including my heart. Which she already had. She, Odeia, was right about my sudden change in path. I had been out of control, spiraling down a dark road full of horrors and sin. Not caring about what the next would bring if i
Rise of a Queen - Book 2 Chapter 27 – A Bonding of Souls
LAMIA Night of the Full moon The three sisters led me out of the cabin to a lighted path with burning lanterns that weaved through the trees. The path had been cleared of snow and I walked along it barefooted in the white robe. The bark glistened under the moon's light like glitter had been rubbed over its surface. Despite the cold, I felt the warmth of the moon on my face and through the silky fabric of the thin covering, and Inanna began to pace. A whimper filled my head as she called for her mate and heat began to rise through my body. My heart beat loudly the closer we came to the end of the path and I could hear the chatter of people and a light tone of music. There was a thick sense of serenity in the air, a tranquility of calmness hidden under the excited auras of the gathered people. It soothed my nerves, but I was still hyper-aware of my surroundings and not sure if I could go through with the mating while people watched. All my inhibitions melted away as I stepped into t
Rise of a Queen - Book 2 Chapter 28 – The Queens Knights: The king and the savior
KELLENThe night of the full moon We had finished the pack run early due to the rain and the rolling storm that blew in from the north suddenly. Usually, rain won’t stop a wolf, but the torrential down-pour came heavy and fast. With it, raging thunder clapped in the sky and lightning began to strike, forking across the grounds of the Royal Palace. We ran for cover, shifting when we reached the pergola. I had been seeing a little she-wolf, Vanessa, for a couple of weeks now. I hadn’t been that same playboy since Lamia. Not to say I haven’t had my share of girls in the past two years, but there was no more wham, bam thank you Ma’ams. I kept them around for at least a few weeks. I had taken Vanessa back to my room; actually, it was a guest room I used. I didn’t like bringing anyone up to the royal floor. It was too personal, especially if they were not my fated mate. So I had the ‘spare’ room I kept. No sooner had the door closed, than she was upon me. Her lush lips locked to mine, h
