Levi’s POV Something is off with Jamari. There has to be more to her change in mood other than having to meet with the Lycan King. He better not be another mangy mutt sniffing around what is mine. “I’m nervous about why he would want to meet with me. I’m not considered a wolf.” She confides in me. My heart breaks at the sadness I feel coming off of her. I pull her in close and place a soft kiss on her forehead. “Wolf or no wolf my fiery temptress, you are the most amazing woman I have ever met.” How can this beautiful creature think that she is anything less than perfection? Having a wolf does not define her, she defines herself. I place a loving kiss on her tempting lips, encouraged to deepen it by the sounds of her moans. Lifting her by her waist, I pull her into my lap so I can hold her tighter. I pour everything that I feel for her into our kiss. Jamari breaks from our kiss and begins placing kisses up my neck, headed towards my ear. When she reaches my ear, she whispers,
Jamari’s POV After Levi teleported us from my bed, we appeared in a large penthouse suite in Vegas. The decor was done in all dark colors, befitting the Demon King. He wasn’t wrong when he said that his shower was bigger than mine. Way more room for activities than my tiny shower would have offered. We ended up getting cleaned up only to have sex again up against the shower wall and having to clean up once again. A huge grin spreads across my face. Being with Levi has been amazing. I could definitely get used to this. The sparks I feel when our bodies touch are similar to those I felt when I touched Kenji. I slammed a wall down on thoughts of Kenji. I will not think about the Lycan King while wrapped up in the arms of another. Levi is special and doesn’t deserve for my mind to wander like that. I feel his arms wrap around me tightly. “Where did your thoughts go just now?” He whispers in my hair. I don’t want to lie to him, but I also can’t tell him what I was thinking about.
Jamari's POV Today is the day I finally go to the old Church ruins and search for the hidden room that Samara told me about. I have been putting this moment off since my twin told me about being more than what I had always thought. But I can’t keep putting this off any longer, I have to get answers to the many questions I have running through my head. I had over two weeks to wallow in my loss, but now I owe it to Samara to follow through with what she asked of me. After another round in the shower with Levi this morning he teleported me back to my apartment and left me to go handle business in the Demon Realm. He offered to accompany me to the ruins, but I told him not to worry about me. He’s already doing too much for me by looking for the man that killed my sister. I couldn’t ask him to put aside his responsibilities in the Demon Realm just to hold my hand while I search the ruins. I miss him already though, I sigh. If he decides to stay away for another week again I don’t thi
Andrew’s POVSince Jamari turned eighteen she shut herself off from her family and our pack and it hurt a lot of people. She thought we wouldn’t want her anymore since she didn’t have a wolf, but she was wrong. She doesn’t realize the amount of people who care for her in our pack and would be there for her in an instant if she needed them. Most of us thought she was fine with the way things turned out after she turned eighteen, but being around her yesterday and today made me realize she is not fine. Jamari is hurting inside but she doesn’t feel like she has anyone still there for her. That’s why last night I decided to be a friend to her again. I called her this morning to check on her and to show her that she is not alone. When she asked me if I was free to accompany her to the ruins this morning I lied and told her I had nothing going on. It was obvious she needed a friend and I wanted to be there for her. Just because things didn’t work out with us as mates doesn’t mean I don’t
Jamari’s POVI look between Levi and Andrew, not sure if I should leave them alone or not. They have not been playing nice at all since they met, especially Levi. “I’ll be fine Jamari. We’ll be right behind you.” Andrew tells me. I shrug my shoulders and walk away. If Andrew isn’t afraid to be left alone with Levi, then who am I to stop him?I walk ahead to the library that I have been to a hundred times. Everytime I come to the ruins I feel peace wash over me. No one else has ever felt the same peace I feel while here, which only makes me more different than other wolves.I sigh as I glance around the library, searching for a hidden room. I have no idea if the hidden room is in the library, but it was a good place to start. After a few moments of wandering around I hear footsteps coming down the hall. I turn and smile at them as they enter the room. “So, who’s dick is bigger?” I ask, lifting a brow. Andrew choked out a cough, while Levi grinned. “You already know mine would be big
Jamari’s POVIt’s been twenty-four hours since Levi dropped a huge bomb on my life, and it’s still exploding. We searched the old Church ruins for three hours before Andrew started to feel the effects of the Church and needed to leave.Levi denied feeling anything, but I could tell from his strained face that he was feeling the effects as well. They were both surprised that I wasn’t feeling any of the effects from being there too long, so I confided in them my secret about being able to stay as long as I pleased there.They had both glanced at each other at my confession, but said nothing to me. I’m not sure that I like this new dynamic of theirs or not. I’m pretty sure that Levi asked Andrew to watch over me when he wasn’t around because Andrew just ‘happens’ to be around when Levi is away.Which isn’t often. Levi has been glued to my hip since we left the Church ruins. Only leaving for brief moments when he had to check in with his people in the Demon Realm. After a few minutes of L
Kenji’s POV Today is the day I finally claim my mate. Four years is a long time for a wolf to wait for their mate. Being apart from a mate you haven’t claimed yet can cause a wolf to go crazy. If it wasn’t for me being a Lycan I would have gone crazy a long time ago. That’s not to say that being apart from my mate hasn’t affected me these past years, because it has been pure torture. Especially after last year when we kissed in the gardens. Beta Yuriko berated me for behaving so recklessly and she was right. I just hope that I haven’t messed up my chance to claim Jamari after keeping out of touch since her birthday. From my experience, women can hold a grudge for a long time. I put my hand to my face and sigh. Nerves course through my body. What if she’s pissed at me for not telling her all these years and rejects me? Ren whimpers in my mind, ‘Mate.’ ‘Don’t worry Ren, we’re not going to give up on our mate easily, even if she is pissed at us.’ Ren growls in agreement. Jamari i
Jamari’s POV How am I going to face him? I am so embarrassed about the way I behaved the last time that we met. I throw myself face down on my bed at my parent’s house, letting out a groan. He probably thinks I’m a slut. I push my face into a pillow and let out a soft scream. I don’t want my mother to hear my scream and come to see what’s wrong. She is acting weird today. I glance over at the gown hanging near my vanity. My mother insists that I wear the gown that she picked out. I walk over towards it, running my fingers along the smooth material. It is a beautiful dress in a deep shade of green, like my eyes. It would complement my hair if I wear it. But I don’t want Alpha Kenji to think that I got dressed up for him. Even if a huge part of me wants to get dressed up for him. I don’t want to look desperate. Suddenly I catch a whiff of fire and brimstone with a hint of cinnamon fill the room. I turn and come face to face with Ruth. “Ruth!” I jump in excitement, throwing my ar
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
