Thank you for your continued support. The Blood Moon has finally arrived and things didn't go quite to plan, as usual.
Jamari’s POVI couldn’t stop the anxiety that washes over me as we step out into the courtyard. Memories from my eighteenth birthday flash in my mind causing me to pause at the entrance. I find myself stuck in my spot, staring out at everyone gathered around to witness my transformation. Or what I am hoping will be my transformation. I feel Levi grab my right hand and give it a light squeeze as reassurance that he is by my side. I grip his hand tighter, not wanting to lose the comfort his presence brings, as Kenji grabs my left hand in his. I glance down at our joined hands, taking a deep breath in to ready myself for what comes next. ‘You got this.’ Flits through my mind in the background as the familiar voice of my newly acquired wolf tries to calm my nerves. I lift my right foot and begin to descend the stairs, taking the plunge and walking towards the same stage that torments my dreams still. The closer my feet bring me to the stage the louder my heart thumps in my chest, nerve
Ruth's POVAfter leaving Jamari’s room I went in search of Andrew. Tonight is the Blood Moon and I have a good feeling that the moon will reveal that Andrew is my other half. I have already decided to accept him and Cody even if it turns out he isn’t destined for me, but I am still anxious to find out. Strong arms wrap around my waist from behind, my body relaxing into the familiar tingles that erupt everytime Andrew touches me. A content sigh leaves my lips as my arms wrap themselves around Andrew’s arms. “There you are gorgeous.” Andrew whispers in my ear, nipping my lobe with his teeth. My arousal spikes instantly as the scent fills the small hallway. “Careful little mate.” Cody growls in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. “There will be plenty of time for that later.”I turn in his arms, placing my hand on his chest. Lifting up on my toes my teeth nip at Andrews, well Cody’s, lips. “Looking forward to it Cody.” I whisper before dancing out of his arms and skipping down the h
Ruth’s POV“Where is he?” I struggle to keep my demoness side in check as she tries to emerge from my seething anger. How dare Levi just vanish like that! Typical demon reaction to run away when things get tough for them.So maybe some of my anger is bubbling up because of old wounds from when my mother abandoned me the first chance she got. That doesn’t matter right now! Levi fucked up and he deserves to feel my wrath, even if it is not all because of him.The two receptionists jumped from their seats the moment I burst out of Levi’s office, they now stand in front of me clutching their hands to their chests, fear wafting off of them in waves. My demoness sniffs the air in pleasure, licking her chops in my mind.‘Hungry Bitch, cool it before you cause them to have a heartache before they can answer my question.’ My demoness pouts, but pulls herself back from the forefront of my mind.I turn my attentin back to the useless women behind the receptionist desk. Maybe now Levi will allow
Kenji’s POVOnce Jamari noticed Levi’s absence she shoved out of my arms and dropped to the stage floor. Within seconds the sound of bones breaking fills the night as she begins her first shift into her wolf form. Gasps from the crowd echo all around us from the crowd, I tune them out to give my focus solely to Jamari. Most werewolf pups have years to train their bodies to prepare for this first shift, but Jamari only had two weeks, making her first shift harder than most. A howl of pain fills the night air as Jamari throws her head back in agony, fighting against her body that is trying to shift.Her howl breaks me from my trance. I rush to her side, keeping space in between us to allow her room to finish her shift. “Don’t fight against your wolf Jamari, you must work with her to allow her to break free.”Her frightened eyes meet mine and I can tell that she can’t hear a word I am saying. ‘We should have prepared her more for her first shift.’ Ren paces my mind, worried for our mate
Ruth’s POV After leaving Alfred at Levi’s castle, I decided to head into headquarters to gather up a few of my men to assist in my search for the soon to be dead Demon King. I don’t care what Alfred said about waiting to hear his explanation, I was going to kick his ass first and ask questions after he’s gotten a good thrashing. The longer I’ve had to stew in his betrayal of Jamari, the more pissed I have become. I knew he acted like a man child when it comes to stressful situations, but I’ve never known him to run away like a coward. When I get my hands on him… My thoughts are interrupted by one of my Generals, Azazel. “No one has seen Levi since he left with you earlier this morning.” He relays as he makes his way to where I sit, fuming. I slam my fist on the long conference table, making all of my men flinch in their places, all except for Azazel. “I havne’t seen you this pissed at our King since he ran off and joined the circus back in the sixties. What did he do now?” I shi
Levi's POV“Nice to see you too Ruth.” She shoves the dagger closer to my throat, blood begins to drip down my neck, onto the floor. “What brings you to the Fates?” I get out around the dagger pushing into my neck.She pushes her face closer to mine, close enough that I can feel her breath on my cheek. “You fucking ran!” She spits at me. “You ran like the coward I alwasy suspected you were.”“I didn’t” My mouth snaps shut as her words sink in. “You think I’m a coward?” I ask, insulted she would say that.She eases up on the dagger as she looks down at me. “You ran from her Levi.” She tells me quietly. “How could you do that to her?”“I didn’t run.” Ruth pushes the dagger closer to my throat, embedding the dagger into my throat, blood spilling down and pooling around us. I place my hands over hers, “Ruth, I didn’t run. The Fates pulled me here.”She stares down at me skeptically. Something in my eyes must have convinced her because she pulled the dagger back and picked herself off of m
Remiel’s POV It’s been a week since my visit to Levi’s penthouse in Vegas and I still can’t get her scent out of my head. Jamari. Her name invokes images of a feisty redhead and deep down I know she is meant to be mine. But I can’t start a war with the Demon Realm over a woman I’ve never met. A woman was the downfall of my father, God. He and Lucifer both coveted the same woman, Eve, and in the end it cost my father his life and Lucifer his freedom. It took ages for the Angel Realm to recover from the loss of their King. I couldn’t do that to them once more. These thoughts do nothing to stop the longing that I feel every moment that I am away from her. How can I become so fixated on a woman that I haven’t even met? My Angel can’t fathom a life without Jamari in it. He keeps whispering to me that we should go steal her away and claim her for ourselves. The silent nudging of my Angel has become harder and harder to ignore as the time drags on without her. Many times I found myself te
Jamari’s POVA distant sound calls to me from within my mind. ‘Mari. You need to wake up Mari.’ I groan silently as I try to roll to my side. Panic begins to set in when I realize that I can’t move my body. What is happening to me? I fight to regain control of my body with no success. I whimper reverbearates within my mind as I stop fighting.‘Mari.’ My ears perk up at the silent call of my name.‘Rieka. Is that you?’ My breath catches in my chest as I strain to hear the voice of my wolf. ‘I am here Mari.’ Relief washes through me when I catch the sound of Rieka’s voice with my sensitive ears. ‘Rieka, thank the Goddess you’re okay.’ As I relax I find that I am able to open my eyes and look around. ‘Where are we?’ I ask her as I wait for my eyes to adjust to the darkness around me. The weight of a bed beneath me is the first thing that I notice, making me think I must be in a room of sorts.The room is warm and doesn’t smell bad so I must not be locked in a cell. The atmosphere has t
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
