Jamari’s POV“We have been searching the Ruins for hours and we still haven’t found the secret room that Athena told me about.” I sigh, plopping down in a chair, depleted of my energy from this morning. I need to find the secret room as soon as possible in order to free Remiel from his current situation. “Well you’re not going to find anything sitting there on your bum.” Levi chuckles, pinching the side of my ass through the sides of the chair.“Ouch.” I growl, jumping from my seated position. “That hurt.” A pout forms on my face as I rub my ass in the spot that he pinched. “All for the greater good Sweetheart.” A wicked gleam brightens his galaxy orbs as they swirl with mirth. I turn my pout in Kenji’s direction, but get nothing but an apologetic smile out of him before he continues to search the bookshelf. I cross my arms over my chest, my pout becoming more pronounced. “You’re supposed to be on my side.” I grumble, getting a chuckle from both my Kings. “I am on the side of free
Levi’s POVSmelling the fear rolling off of my mother in huge waves sends shivers of excitement throughout my body from my Demon. I’ve only ever called my Demon form fully forth one other time, but even then it felt nothing like this. The power flowing through my veins is nothing that I’ve ever felt from myself before.And the connection with my Demon, it is way stronger than ever before. Almost as if I could talk to him if I wanted to. Something that no Demon’s are able to do as far as I know. Something has definitely changed within me, and I have a feeling it is connected to Jamari and the unusalness of my Demon Brand. “If you attack me here you will be killed by the magic flowing through this place.” My mother tells me, her brave face that she put on barely concealing her terror at coming face to face with my true form. “But you would be dead before this placcce could finish me off.” Leaves my lips of their own accord. ‘Don’t do anything stupid Demon.’ Floats through my mind mom
Jamari’s POV“I said to KNEEL BEFORE YOUR KING.” Ren growls at the three lycan wannabe’s, his power fusing with his words, sending shivers of pleasure down my spine, heat pooling between my thighs. “You are beneath me. Now turn back to your human forms.” His command swirling around us, enhancing my arousal, causing my nipples to harden to a peak.The sound of bones breaking and rearranging fills the room as the lycans shift back into their human forms, their panting filling the room around us.Ren stands as tall as the room will allow him, staring down at the three wolves, rage filling his eyes. ‘I know I said that Levi is my favorite…but damn is the Lycan King sexy when he is angry.’ Rieka shivers with pleasure within my mind, her eyes focused on the massive beast standing between us and the threat.‘Ren sure is something to look at that’s for sure.’ I tell her, also admiring the massive beast that I’ve grown to adore. “I hope you checked out my Demon form as intensely as you’re che
Kenji’s POVThe power radiating off of the four wolves that were assisting Eve with whatever her plan is was surprising to say the least. Two of the wolves were from packs in my home country of Japan. What the hell were they doing all the way out here? And with Eve?The other two wolves were lesser wolves than those two, but still from prominant bloodlines. One of the two that Levi killed is from a French pack, I recognized the smell wafting off of him as the son of the Alpha of the Lune Noire Pack in Paris. My pack had dealings with them a few months back. The son might not have been present for our meeting, but I recognized the scent from the Alpha Pierre’s home when I was there visiting. As for the last wolf standing, he reeks of the Southern Pride Pack located in the heart of Texas.How in the hell did that woman get her hands on four Alpha born wolves from different parts of the world? And why hasn’t their family reported their odd behavior to their King during their monthly che
Jamari’s POV “Why didn’t your Elders report what Eve told them to Beta Charles?” Kenji asks Henry, leaning forward in his seat. “We did report Evelyn’s appearance to Beta Charles, my King. He told our Elders that he would look into her claims and get back to us. We never heard anything back from him after that so we took it as the truth.”Anger vibrates Kenji’s body as he tries to control his temper. “How long ago did your Elders report to Beta Charles?” He asks through gritted teeth. I flash him an appreciative smile, I know how hard this must be for him to not growl at poor Henry.“Evelyn came to our pack three months ago, we reported to Beta Charles, as per protocol, the same day.” Anger creases Henry’s brow. “The following week our pack was attacked by Rogue wolves killing fifty, most of which were children playing outside the schoolhouse.” Henry’s eyes lock on mine. “Evelyn returned the following week like she promised and offered protection for our pack if we helped her
Kenji’s POV“She promised to make me the Lycan King and give me the Wolf Queen as my mate.” Jamari stiffens in my lap at his words, an angry growl fills the room coming from my left. Beta Charles stiffens in his seat, a choked look appearing on his face, blood seeping from his nose and eyes. My eyes flicker over to Levi to my right, barely contained rage contorting his face as he focuses his attention on my Beta of pack affairs.Jamari shifts in my lap, getting up into a seated position as she reaches over to touch Levi’s arm in comfort. ‘We need him alive for now.’ Her voice flits through my mind. ‘That doesn’t mean he can’t suffer for a few minutes first.’ Comes Levi’s strained response. Jamari settles back in her spot against my chest, satisfied that Levi doesn’t intend to kill my Beta just yet. ‘What is going on Alpha?’ Gamma Francis French voice asks from his position by the door, his concentration set on Beta Charles suffering in the seat in front of me. ‘I believe our
Jamari’s POV“I think we should let him go back to his pack.” Henry’s grateful eyes meet mine from across the desk. “I don’t know if that is a good idea Red.” “I hate to agree with the Demon, but I’m not sure we should set him free after he betrayed us.” Kenji’s studies Henry warily. I lean up in Kenji’s lap, turning myself until I’m facing Henry. “Henry only did what he did in order to protect his pack when he thought that his King had turned his back on him. Any true Alpha would have done the same thing.” “How about baby steps Okami.” I turn to look at Kenji. “Let’s let him reach out to his father and smooth things over with the Southern Pride Pack, but from the watchful eye of us back in your pack.”My first thought was to argue with Kenji and order him to release Henry at once, but I caught myself before doing that. Turning back to Henry I ask, “Is that acceptable to you?”Henry’s eyes widen in surprise, clearly not expecting to get a say in his fate. “I will do anything it ta
Jamari’s POV“We’ve been searching all night and we still haven’t found the room that we are looking for.” Plopping down in an open chair, I fold my arms over my chest as a pout forms on my lips. Levi lets out a chuckle as he walks across the room towards my seat. “We’ll find the room Red. It’s just going to take time.”“I don’t want it to take time.” My pout growing on my face. “We need Remiel back as soon as possible.”“Jamari is right.” Kenji speaks up from across the room where he investigates the wall for a secret passage. Pausing in his inspection, he turns to look at us. “Your mother is on the move and we still don’t know what she is planning.” He runs his fingers through his hair. “We need all of the help we can get to keep Jamari safe.”“Maybe it’s time we meet the leader of the Vampire Realm.” Levi says, kneeling on the floor in front of me.My heart quickens at the thought of meeting my possible fourth mate. But am I ready to take on another mate so quickly? We’ve barely g
Dear Readers, Thank you all for supporting me and my first book Rise of the Alpha Queen. It has been a thrilling ride and I can't believe that I have reached the end of my first book! I love reading the reviews readers have left me about my book, even the ones that are less than positive. I take them in stride and try to be better for future books. So please continue to let me know what your thoughts are on the story. I will be spending the next month going back through and editing my chapters, something I didn't have as much time as I would have liked while writing with a deadline these past few months, and then I will start on book 2. I hope to have book 2 started by the end of September or begining of October. Thank you again for all of your support! I hope you have all enjoyed watching Jamari move into her role as the Alpha Queen. Heidi Monath :) **UPDATE** Book 2: Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate is now available! Hope you all enjoy as we dive more into the Fae Realm.
Jamari’s POVAnxiety courses through my body as we prepare to depart for the Vampire Realm. Aside from my few visits to the Demon Realm and my visit to the Garden of Eden, I haven’t left the Human Realm often. What would the Vampire Realm be like? Would it be eternal darkness so the vampires don’t turn to dust in the sun?A chuckle of nervous energy escapes me at the thought. I doubt the vampires burst into flames in the sun like the movies portray. I’m pretty sure that Eve had some vampires with her when she was trying to get into the Church grounds last week.Another reason for my anxiety is the Vampire King. Lucern. A shiver passes through me at the thought of his name. The interest my body shows in just his name has me concerned for how I will react upon meeting him. If Levi and Kenji’s theory is correct, he could possibly be one of my mates as well. I don’t know if I am ready for another mate just yet. I finally have a working relationship with both Levi and Kenji, and I have Re
Kenji’s POV “When do we leave for the Vampire Realm?” I would love nothing more than to put off going to the Vampire Realm so I can keep Jamari between just Levi and I a little longer, but we need to release Remiel from his prison quickly. “I have had Ruth send word to Lucern that we are requesting an audience with him and Morgana.” Levi tells me distractedly. Levi has been quiet since we saw his mother outside of the Church yesterday afternoon. “What is troubling you Levi?” I ask him, worried that something might be wrong. “You have been quiet since we came back from the Church and that is not like you.” That was an understatement of course. Levi is the exact opposite of quiet and has been the whole time that I’ve known him. Levi glances in my direction, a frown on his face. “Something has been bothering me since we last spoke with my mother.” He tells me, moving to sit on the couch beside me. “This sounds serious.” I turn my body so I am facing Levi. “It could be a disaste
Eve’s POVIt’s been three days since I was last at the old Church ruins, unable to bring myself to come back here after the memories from long ago resurfaced. My eyes roam over the courtyard, as memories of happier times floods me, bringing tears to my eyes. We were supposed to get the rest of our lives together, or at least the rest of his life, instead our life together was cut short, shorter than even humans and their partners. There is no way that Shappa is still alive in the Fae Realm. Time moves differently over there making more time to have passed there than it has here. I let out a deep sigh as the weight of my grief once again threatens to weigh me down. I would give anything to at least get the chance to see my daughter again. Even if she is all grown up. A tear slides down my face. I pray to whichever God or Goddess that will listen that my Father was never able to get his hands on her and make her a part of his harem. Grandfathers shouldn’t have such thoughts. Magic sw
Jamari’s POVI’m not sure why Levi thinks the book will magically appear in the desk when it wasn’t here the first time that we checked, but if there is a chance that he could be right about the book being returned to the desk, I am willing to try it. Moving over to the desk, I take a seat in the chair behind the desk and look around. A feeling suddenly washes over me causing a look of surprise to appear on my face. My eyes snap up to where Kenji and Levi stand on the other side of the desk, their attention solely on me. I glance back down at the desk as I run my hand over the top with my palm facing down. Magic sizzles against my skin, surprising me. I jerk my hand back as I stare down at the empty space on the desk in bewilderment. “Do you guys feel that?” I ask, looking back up to Kenji and Levi. They put their hands over the top of the desk like what I had done, holding it there for longer than what I did, before pulling away and shaking their heads.A frown forms on my brow. M
Jamari’s POVA wholeness fills my mind the moment that Rieka returns back to her place at the forefront with me. The feel of her return wakes me from my sleep, the first restful sleep I have experienced in days. The dream that has plagued me since our run in with Eve thankfully didn’t haunt my dreams for once. ‘I’m sorry Mari, I didn’t mean to wake you.’ Rieka whispers in apology. A laugh moves through our link from me. ‘Why are you whispering? We’re talking inside my head.’ Fully awake now, I attempt to see the clock on the table beside Kenji, but his giant shoulder is blocking my view. I let out a quiet sigh, giving up on seeing what time it is so I don’t wake either of the men surrounding me. ‘She’s whispering because you tend to broadcast your conversations into our heads.’ Levi’s voice fills my mind as he pulls my body so I lay curved against his naked body. Interest begins to stir within me, the jump of his cock on my ass giving away his interest as well. ‘Sorry Handsome, I
Rieka’s POV‘I will need to search for her within your mind Mari.’ I tell Jamari, as I think of the best way to find and talk to Athena. Mari is right, searching through all of these books isn’t getting us any closer to finding the answer to releasing Remiel and Lucifer from their prison. Getting in contact with Athena is a long shot, but if it helps us find the book we’re searching for sooner, then it is worth trying, even if it will make me weak for a while after. I’ll just leave that part out though, Mari would tell me to forget it and continue to look through all of these books. I can’t let her do that though. ‘So does that mean that you will be gone again?’ Mari asks me, sadness coating her words.Both Kenji and Levi make a sound of surprise at Jamari’s words. ‘Gone again?’ They both ask at the same time, their wide eyes turning to look at Jamari. Guilt moves through me at the reminder that I disappeared for a couple of days. Jamari had called out to me many times during that t
Levi’s POVI glance up in surprise when I sense Jamari’s presence appearing within the library. Glancing at the watch wrapped around my left wrist, I realize that it has only been four hours since I sent Jamari away with Kenji to rest. Kenji walks through the portal behind Jamari, his hands raised in defense before I can question their quick return. Jamari stops to stare at me, a defensive look taking over her face. “Don’t start with me Levi.” She grumbles, making her way to the table scattered with books. “I couldn’t sleep so I might as well be of some use here.”I watch Jamari flip through books for a few minutes, my presence completely forgotten in her quest to find the spell to set Remiel free. I turn my attention back to Kenji, raising a brow in question. Averting his eyes, he pretends to be interested in the pile of books on the table beside him. ‘You weren’t supposed to return until she got at least six hours of rest.’ I berate through our link, my arms moving up to fold over
Jamari’s POVI jerk awake as my dream starts to fade from my mind. That was a weird dream. And far more vivid than any that I am used to having. I shake my head to clear my thoughts. All of the stress of the last few days must be catching up to me. Why else would the same dream be plaguing me everytime I close my eyes?I let out a tired sigh, my eyes wandering to the clock on the bedside table. 3:33 am. A yawn escapes me, reminding me that I only just went to bed two hours ago. Kenji begins to stir beside me, his arm searching for me in his sleep.None of us have gotten much sleep these past few days. All of us running around the clock with little breaks for rest and food in between. Despite searching through all of the books that we found with the words Forbidden Magic in the title, we still haven’t found what we are looking for.Two days have gone by since we first entered the hidden library, and we are still no closer to releasing Remiel from his prison than we were before we enter
