Here I am, again watching Sara sleep.
I had no idea the heat and rut would hit so hard and so soon. I left the house yesterday for a couple of hours. I wanted to pick up some things for Sara. I wanted her to have some new clothes, toiletries, and all those little things women like, such as makeup and perfume.
Of course, I could have sent any number of servents to pick them up, but I wanted to do it myself. I wanted to do something nice for my mate.
I’d managed to borrow something from Lilly for Sara to wear if she woke up before I returned. I left the bathroom door open so Sara could find it easily, and I told Anna to make sure Sara ate breakfast.
I was gone longer than I thought I’d be, and by the time I was halfway home, the rut hit. I knew before Luther mind-linked with me that Sara would be feeling it; we’re ma
I’ve had sex more times in five days than most have in six months. Leander and I had sex all over his room. We had sex in the bathroom, in his closet, against the window, in his chair, on the desk – you get the gist.Around making love all over the place, Leander explained everything there was for me to know about Zidiah and his family.I had no idea shifters could have magical powers!Leander told me about how his mum and dad met and how his mother is half-vampire. When Leander said that, the french fry I was eating fell out of my mouth in shock.Vampires don’t exist!Thinking about it, why wouldn’t vampires exist?Werewolves do, and o
“How old are you, Sara?” Mum asks with a smile.Sara swallows the sausage she was chewing and answers Mum, “I’m eighteen, Your Majesty.”“No,” Mum shakes her head while chuckling. “Darling, you don’t need to use formal titles here. You’re my son’s mate. That makes you family, just like Bastian.”I note the nervous smile on Sara’s face.From the moment we walking into the dining room, Sara hasn’t spoken more than a handful of words to anyone.I know being surrounded by people you don’t know can be daunting. But most will interact regardless of how nervous they might be.Not that I would force Sara to talk when it’s clear she’s scared. Though I think it has more to do wit
I had to get out of there; I felt as though I was suffocating.I understand that Bastian is desperate for me to know who I am, but he scared me.Doesn’t he understand that I don’t know who I am?Bastain is a stranger to me, yet he couldn’t stop himself from yelling that he knows I’m his sister.My head was all over the place, and I just needed some peace. So when Leander jumped to his feet, I ran from the room. I did not want to stay and listen to any more of their conversation.Leander mind-linked me, but I was in no mood to talk. I need time alone to think about everything going on in my life right now.I took a walk around the grounds. I love nature and seeing how beautiful the surrounding gardens are had me smiling.
“I am so sick of telling you!” Anna snaps at me.I cower in the corner because I’m terrified she’s about to hit me again.As soon as I walked into the kitchen, Anna was on me like white on rice. She grabbed me around the throat and pinned me to the wall, choking me in anger.Jessica had mind-linked her mother and explained that I’d spoken to Princess Sara. Talking to the Royal’s is not allowed; I am a slave, and slaves should know their place.I knew that I should have walked away when Sara spoke to me. But that would have been rude, and again, I would have been in trouble.I can’t win no matter what I do.“When are you going to learn, Jenna? You’re an Omega slave, and you’re lucky that I took you in. If you co
Sara hasn’t been herself the past few days. She’s been quiet and in her head a lot.I’m not sure what to do to snap her out of it.I took her to dinner the other night, and she enjoyed herself. But something was missing in her smile.I know she has a lot on her mind with Bastian, but there’s something she’s not telling me.The worst thing is how Sara avoids me whenever she can. We share a bed, but she turns away from me, though I wrap my arm around her while we sleep.Sara sits next to me during breakfast, but she doesn’t speak to me or anyone else.And Bastian?Sara avoids him at all costs, going so far as to rush off in the other direction when she sees him coming.Bast
I pace Orrin’s office, biting the pad of my thumb and wondering what I did wrong.I know that I haven’t been much of a mate the past few days, but I didn’t mean to hurt Leander. I didn’t realise that I was being so quiet, and I sure didn’t mean to ignore his concerns.All Leander has tried to do is be there for me.He took me to dinner the other night, we watched movies together, and even went for a long walk in the forest. I didn’t say much either of those times because I didn’t know what to say.When Leander suggested that we allow our wolves to run free together, I didn’t answer him. I stared at him for a moment, then shook my head.Leander tried to explain how important it was for his wolf and mine to run together. They needed to bond and even mate t
Blood flows down my throat, and I try not to moan in delight.It’s been a long time since I was able to drain a person. Leander likes to keep control, and I like to pounce when he loses it.Lorcan can get Luther to drop his guard much more quickly, especially now. The fool found his mate but won’t claim her.Something about Omega and slave, but I think it has more to do with Lorcan. I imagine Luther won’t claim whoever the person is because he’s afraid of what Lorcan might do.We all know that Lorcan would do anything to get a body of his own and how angry he becomes when it doesn’t happen.Do I think Lorcan would kill Luther’s mate in anger?Without a doubt, and he won’t even feel sorry about it later.
I feel sick to my stomach.I shouldn’t have let Sterling out, and I will regret it for the rest of my life. Fuck, but I always do because I know my vampire persona is a cunt and a half.As soon as I came to my senses, Luther filled me in on what Sterling and Lorcan had done. It didn’t surprise me when Sterling kills each time he’s active.However, I couldn’t believe what Sterling almost did to Jenna. The girl has never hurt anyone in her life, so why pick on her?I have never thought of an Omega as a slave, and I would never hurt someone like Jenna for the fun of it.Lilly would never have forgiven me if Sterling had hurt Jenna. I’m not sure that Sara will forgive me full stop.Goddess, I am so ashamed of myself!
Two Months Later.“Sara, will you please calm down.”She’s all over the place, looking nervous when she has nothing to be nervous about.“I’m sorry,”I chuckle at my mate as she finally sits down.Sara has just spent the past half an hour explaining to my parents how she wants to take Jenna back to Greenrock with us.I was a little sceptical at first; I mean, Jenna is Luther’s mate. It doesn’t matter that he still hasn’t accepted the girl or even told anyone that she is his mate. Taking her away from him could have terrible consequences.However, Sara made a valid point.
It has been so much fun getting to know everyone.Leander and I have made the round, and Mum and Dad have introduced us to literally everyone. Some of the elder members of the pack wanted to know if Leander had anyone in mind for Beta.We could keep Chris as Beta, but it would all depend on whether or not he can keep up with Leander’s demands.Leander won’t keep Chris just because he was Beta for Bastian. There will be tests of all kinds, both physical and mental, that any candidate will have to take.Leander and I want the best for our pack, and we’ll make sure they get it, no matter what.Leander and I are on the dancefloor in each other arms. We’re smiling at each other as we move slowly, and I can feel how in love we are. It’s all-consuming, and I have never felt this
“I’m so nervous, Leander.”Leander smiles and entwines his fingers with mine.I have to say that he looks incredibly handsome in his grey suit with his dark hair gelled back. I dressed to match in a grey cocktail dress, with silver heels. I fashioned my hair in a French twist and kept my makeup light.“It’ll be all right, sweetheart. You’ll relax as soon as we walk into the ballroom and start speaking.”Leander has no clue that I won’t relax until we’re back in our room.Our room?That sounds so weird when this used to be Bastian’s room. Leander said that we could decorate before we officially moved in, and I agreed because we needed to put our own stamp on the place.It’s
After letting Bastian and my father know that I’d take Alphaship of Greenrock, Sara and I left the mansion this morning. The past couple of days, Sara has seemed much more at ease about things. It’s strange to me because I thought she’d still be worrying about what happened with Chan and Yanlin. Sara also called a meeting to explain to our families her decision about Jill and Paul. Sara doesn’t want them executed but to be locked up for the rest of their lives. Not once will they touch each other, and forever will they yearn to be together. Sara had worried about what her parents would think. But Faye smiled and told Sara that she was proud of her and that she had nothing to worry about. With everything squared away, my father expressed that taking over Greenrock wouldn’t happen overnight.
I breathe in the fresh air and smile.I came outside for a walk after waking up from a nightmare. Everything that happened yesterday kept playing like a record on repeat inside my head.I didn’t wake up screaming or anything, but I was shaking. I couldn’t fall back to sleep, and Leander was snoring softly. So, I left him in bed and came out for a while.I figured I could clear my head, and maybe that would sort me out.The trouble is that I don’t know if I’ll ever forget what Chan did to me. I know that he’s dead, but I would have liked to talk to him and find out the truth for myself.Yanlin is locked up, but I’m still a little worried that she’ll somehow get out. I’m not scared of the woman, but it does bother me that she’s so obsessed with Leand
A gagging and gasping sound has Sara pulling away from me. “Mum!”“Stay back!” Faye yells. She’s in full-on banshee right now, and I know how dangerous getting close to a banshee can be.Everyone is on tenterhooks, watching as Faye fights the effects of the Esian.I hold Sara against me as we watch the Esian cover Faye’s entire body. She throws her head back and screams the scream of a banshee in pain, knocking everyone but Sara to the floor.“Mama?”“Sara,” I groan her name while clasping my ear.Fuck me; these banshees sure can bring a man to his knees.Sara ignores me and walks closer to her mother. She takes Faye’s hands in her own, and I watch Sara take her banshee for
“Hold him!” I scream at Luther.My brother growls in the guy’s face while Bastian rips the mask from his face.“Chan?” Lilly says with narrow eyes. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”Chan doesn’t answer, and I don’t give a shit right now.I crouch down next to Sara and push her hair away from her face. That bastard hit her, and the bruises send me murderous!I want to kill him, but Sara is more important to me right now.The room fills with people, but I have no mind for anything other than Sara.“Baby, can you hear me?”Sara doesn’t move, nor does she make a noise to let me know that she can hear me.
“I can’t believe how cute you were.”I playfully poke my tongue out at Bastian.He and our parents are sitting on the sofa, Mum in between Dad and Bastian as they look through the photo album I brought.“I’m sorry, there aren’t many. Jill and Paul weren’t big on photographs.”Mum shakes her head. “This is perfect. We get to see you grow up through these pictures, and I couldn’t have asked for more.”They’ve seen me as a small child, my first Christmas without them, my first lost tooth, and so much more.My family missed out on all of those precious moments. I can’t get them back, but the photographs seem to be helping ease the pain somewhat.“You look so m
This cannot be happening!Leander was supposed to fall at my feet, not fight me on whether the damn baby is his or not. For Goddess Selene’s sake! I have done everything to make the Dalgaard’s believe me, yet Leander fights me on the truth?Okay, saying I was twenty-four weeks pregnant made them doubt me. But the fact remains that I am twenty-four weeks, and there is nothing I can do to change that!A friend of mine, a witch, said that I need the blood bonding of a Dalgaard to save mine and my baby’s life. There is only one Dalgaard I would bond blood with, and that’s Leander.All my life, I have loved Leander Dalgaard. I had finally made him mine; then he cast me aside as though I were nothing to him!Now, he’s got a mate?I could just scr
