Narcissa's povI was just coming down from an earth shattering orgasm when the door to the mistress's quarters flew open. Minerva marched inside, not even batting an eye at the erotic scene before her. “Mistress, a word” she bowed, not sparring me a single glance. Not that I cared what she thought about me, she wanted me dead and for as long as I was useful to the mistress, she couldn't touch me. “Oh speak already Minerva, I don't have all day” my mistress said, not moving from where she lay with her head between my legs. “The spy was caught and is held in their dungeon and we haven't even begun phase two of the plan to capture the girl” she said, sounding annoyed. “Another failure, like the rest of you!” She sneered, her glare burning into my skin. She was the physical embodiment of ‘if looks could kill’. “Seems I was wrong to trust you pet” my mistress said, throwing my leg over her shoulder and kissing a trail down my inner thigh to the soft spot between my pussy and thigh.
Alari's povThe sounds coming from Damien were sounding more animalistic with every passing second, and I didn't know whether I should worry or not.He looked bigger, hairier, and I was pretty sure he was hunched over, just a little. Not sure if it's the accurate thing to assume but I think Damien was mid shift.Was it even possible? For both man and beast to be present at the same time?“Sheesh, why do I feel so unwelcome?” Narcissa taunted, was she trying to get a reaction out of him. “Stop messing around” I growled at her, getting ready to shift if need be. “You guys are no fun! Boo” she said, giving us a thumbs down, and I swear I almost asked how old she was. “Keep your guard up Lari” Sapphira reminded. “I wanted to see for myself if the rumour was true” she said staring at me intensely. “And what rumour is that” I asked, needing her to state her reasons for invading our home.“That your elven whore of a mother left an exact copy of her. Down to her eyes” her gaze hardened,
Alari's pov“Are you okay?” Damien asked, now fully human again. “Yes” I answered, and I was. “That was a lot to take in my love, are you sure you're alright?” He asked again and I leaned into him, hoping his scent could calm me enough to push down the blood lust but the slight smell of blood in his scent made it worse. “I am alright, I really am. It's just…” I didn't know how to say it, maybe I did and didn't like what it implied. “You want to rip her heart out while you watch the life drain from her eyes” he said softly, making me look up at him. “I'm very familiar with bloodlust my love, and I'm also aware I reek of blood” he joked, reminding me of how we were spiritually connected. He could feel the need to kill pulsating through me. “And no, it doesn't make you a bad person, not when it's deserved” he said, making me sigh and return my head to his chest. “How did she even get in here? This place has zero privacy! She couldn't have just walked in” I said, only now thinking
Alari's pov “So… you've been able to communicate with Lylla since your shift?” Dad asked as we descended the steps to the dungeon. “Yeah” I said, turning right at the bottom of the stairs.“And you have her memories?” He asked again and I looked back at him with a smile. “Yep” I smiled, the surprise on his face quite amusing. “Illuminus” I said and a ball of light appeared on my hand and I turned back to navigating the dark hall way. “Alari, if you have her memories then you can find the dark elves!” Mom exclaimed, as if just figuring it out. “Actually, no. The memory was wiped” I said with a sigh as we reached the end of the hall. “Fucking Pixies” mom muttered under her breathe and I just smiled, at least now dad and her felt the same about Pixies. “Okay, what now?” Damien asked as my eyes went up and down the wall before us. “Pull that torch down” I said, pointing at the torch on his right and he did so without question.We waited a few seconds before the sound of chains pu
Damien's pov I couldn't stop my heart from racing, every part of me wanted to stop this but I knew I couldn't, I had to let her do this. “Noli intrare malum, non transitum” she began her spell and I wondered what language it was. Latin maybe?It wasn't long after she said those words that I noticed something happen in the pool. I could feel the pull getting stronger, like it was calling out to me. She repeated the incantation and the writings on the stones lit up, making me tilt my head to the side in wonder. “Is it working?” I asked lowly so I didn't disturb her and her dad nodded with a whispered ‘yes’.Something was happening with the water, the light within it seemed to be whirling around Alari. She said the incantation again and I felt a jolt of electricity rush down my spine. Before I could question what that was, I felt the bond I had with every wolf and Lycan in the Kingdom awaken.The life force of every shifter under the Kingdom fuelled my Lycan and I could feel Roman p
Alari's pov Damien's scent was the first thing I perceived when I began to awaken from my slumber. Curling my fingers, I felt the softness of his fur and opened my eyes to find his big Lycan head on my lap, snoring softly.A sense of warmth washed over me as I watched my mate's majestic, sleeping, Lycan form. He looked so cute, I wanted to bite him!I could also feel him more distinctly, and we seemed to be feeding off of each other, off of our bond. I could feel his life force pulsing through me so strongly, I wondered if he could feel me the same way. “Yes, I can” Roman growled softly, his eyes still closed but his subtle rubbing gave his state of consciousness away. “Hey! I thought I put up a wall so you couldn't invade my mind” I playfully rolled my eyes but was genuinely curious to know how he was able to break through my mental wall. Could it be the current state of our bond? It felt a lot more powerful, and I'd never felt so connected to him. I could literally feel his
Damien's povRoman had never handed control back so easy or quickly, he knew too well he couldn't help and didn't want to waste time bickering. Putting my pants on in record time, I held her hair back and rubbed her back as she threw up all she ate… well, barely ate. I used my shirt to wipe the corners of her mouth when she was done and she got a good whiff of it. “Your scent is calming” she smiled a little and I took her into my arms.“Are you okay?” I asked once she'd settled, nose buried in my neck.“Yeah, a little, I don't know what happened. I was fine one second and then, I was falling” she said, her breathing a little taxed. “Urg, I'm so tired all of a sudden” she groaned, worrying me more. “Has your blood work come back yet? It's been a while” Pearl said, reminding me of their presence, and that call that'd slipped my mind. “Fuck, yeah, the doctor did call, yesterday before all the crazy, I'm sorry I forgot” I said, kissing her forehead and she gave me a lazy smile. “We
Alari's pov “Oh my fucking Goddess!” Pearl screamed, getting up from her chair. “Language” mom teased and I smiled at her, rubbing my flat stomach. “You said godmother, she said godmother!” She screamed the last part, looking at everyone else to confirm. Jumping up and down, she finally skipped her way to me and hugged me… a little too tight.“There won't be any godmothering if you choke me to death” I exaggerated my choking, to which she quickly let go.“Sorry, I'll be gentle” she said, hand stroking my hair, smile still big as ever. She looked like a ray of sunshine on a cold, cloudy day when she smiled like that. “Congratulations sweetheart” dad said with tears in his eyes, which brought tears to my eyes.“Congratulations Alpha, Luna” Mason bowed, smiling fondly.“Thank you Mason” I smiled back.“Do we all understand that this can't leave this room? We have a spy problem and we can't have the wrong people knowing” Damien said, putting a hole in the bubble I was floating in. “Y
Alari's pov Waddling into the library as fast as I could, my eyes rounded before relief flooded me.“Pearl! Hide me!” I said, moving as fast as I could while reaching out my hands for her to grab.Aaaaah yes, reduced from a war hero to a heavily pregnant, waddling mess, how glorious!“Alari!” Dad's voice came first, followed by rushed foot steps.“She's in here!” Pearl yelled, making me freeze where I stood, my eyes going wide with shock.“You traitor!” I grabbed the closest book to me and chucked it at her, watching her laugh as she dodged my weapon of destruction.“What's going on?” Mason asked, coming out from behind a shelf. “Somebody doesn't want to drink her medicine” Pearl sang, swaying side to side like she was enjoying my torture.Dad burst through the door with my grandfather right behind him. I grabbed another book and spun to face them, threatening them with it. “Don't fight, just take a little sip or two” dad said, raising his empty hand up in surrender. I growled at
Alari's pov “Alari! Wake up, I need you to wake up now!” a pretty voice floated over me, making me groan. Fuck! What was that pain! Why couldn't I open my eyes?!“Baby listen to me, I need you to open your eyes, right now!” Pretty voice is panicking, wonder why?“Open your eyes!” Pretty voice wasn't so pretty when it was giving me a headache.Fucking ouch! My eyes fluttered and I was met with blurry darkness, then green, and they fluttered closed again.I felt like I was being pulled, no, dragged, by my arms and they fucking hurt!“Baby please, wake up!” Sobbing, why was she sobbing?My eyes fluttered again but this time, a blinding white greeted me, and a face, a pretty blurred face shouting over me.“That's it, come on! Fight the darkness, ignore the pain, wake up!” She said, my eyes clearing a little.“M..mom?” Speaking burnt my throat, why was it so dry?Darkness enveloped me again, but I fought it, and opened my eyes again.“Oh, somebody calling her mommy? Don't worry my littl
Alari's pov “Kill them! Kill all of them!” Helena screeched, making her army spring into action. “Don't you dare leave my side!” Damien growled.“Don't you dare leave my side!” Vivica repeated, cracking her neck.Chaos, that's the best way to explain what was happening. Cal and his group jumped from the trees like samurai, cutting down the creatures they fell on. Stopping the first wave from reaching us.But there was too many, and soon enough, they got past them. Grandpa, who was in the front line, broke the spear he'd been holding in half and drove the two sharp ends through the chests of two beasts that had flung themselves at him. They were brutal, and unforgiving, and one by one, the beasts fell, one after the other but there were too many, and without fail, I found myself driving my crystal clear spear into inky black fur.I didn't get a chance to celebrate my kill because another one launched itself over the dead one, coming straight for me. Literally thinking on my toes, I
Alari's pov “Viv come on, we didn't come here to fight” Cal shook his head, before turning his pained gaze to me.His eyes held longing, and when his hands clenched, I knew he was holding himself back.Before me was a man that grew up with my mother, trained with her, loved her, even when she couldn't reciprocate.Unrequited love, and then she died… how sadVivica closed her eyes, breaking eye contact with my grandfather and breathed deeply.“I'm sorry, that's not the first impression I want you to have of me” she spoke softly, her words directed to me. She had no idea I knew all about her, how feisty she was, her temper, and all the trouble she and my mother got into. “We just want to know you, and Roan is hogging you to himself!” She sent a glare my grandfather's way before relaxing her gaze when she returned it to me.“And you will, but right now, we must leave” grandpa said with an edge to his voice, leaving very little room for argument but the change is Vivica’s expression to
Alari's pov The clothes my grandfather had given made us blend in, well, me more than Damien but he was pretty close and looked very, very yummy. With his muscled arms on display, I wanted to rip the entire shirt of and feast on him!“You two look great” grandfather said as he turned away from the river to face us.“Thank you” I smiled, watching a little sadness flicker in his eyes. I must be wearing my mother's clothes.“How about a tour of the realm of creation” he said, making me wonder what he meant by realm of creation, I thought this was the Kingdom of the dark elves…?I wanted to ask what he meant but a bubbling feeling of impending doom pushed the questions aside, I needed to warm him about Helena.“Grandpa, we need to talk about something, it's important” I said, trying not to show how scared I actually was. If anything happened to them because of me, I don't think I could live with myself.“What is it?” He frowned, giving me a once over before his eyes settled on mine.“N
Alari's pov Grandpa embraced me, his hold a little too tight, like he still couldn't believe that I was here. Heck, neither could I! This has always been something too absurd to even dream, wish for, and now, I had it.“How about we make breakfast and you can tell me all about you, mhm?” he said, pulling back to look into my eyes as if searching for something. “She's gone” I smiled at him, which he returned. “Good, I've lost enough people to that woman” he said, his expression turning sour. “We won't lose anyone else, I promise” I said, taking both his hands into mine. I'd hoped to reassure him but the way his face fell told me I wasn't even close.“Oh sweetheart, that's a promise no one can make. Helena is a very powerful and dangerous witch, a very old one at that, making her even more dangerous” he said with a sigh.There were many emotions swimming in his eyes but the most prominent one was fear. My grandfather was afraid of Helena and if I was being honest, I was too.But th
Alari's pov I was on my knees, my breathing ragged. I couldn't stop my heart from trying to escape me, I was afraid.She was here, she'd been waiting, for me to close my eyes so she could pounce on me.She didn't even have to say anything, I could feel her burning gaze, her cold, dark presence looming over my head.“Focus Alari, this is my mind, I make the rules” I said to myself, softly, as if trying to make she didn't hear me pep talk myself.“No, I make the rules” the feel of her cold breathe as she whispered straight into my ear hit me hard, causing my body to shake from the pain that vibrated through my system. Shit! This wasn't like before, the nausea, this was worse! It felt like she was wrecking me from the inside, tearing at my organs. Groaning, I swear I tasted blood as my body kept shaking from the pain flooding my mind.Something wasn't right, all of this didn't feel right. Why was her presence so strong? I felt like a stranger in my own mind.I tried to get to my feet
Alari's povNever in my life had I seen anything like this. Large, colourful trees stretching for a far as the eye could see, moving to the wind as if they were dancing, I wouldn't be surprised if their did. The sky had an ethereal glow to it, with the stars blinking against a pinkish purple background, wonder what it looks like in the day.The cliff we were standing on gave a great view of this place, though I suspected that there was so much more.“Come, this way!” Allison said excitedly, flying downhill. I felt a little vulnerable, having let go of Damien's hand, so I took his into mine and we made our way down the hill.A white cobblestone path went in between the tress, which had cracks along the bark, light shining from the cracks and lighting up the way. At the top of trees were beautifully crafted houses that seemed to mold to the trees as if they were part of them.I wondered if they were actually like that or the elves coming out of them to watch us, had something to do w
Damien's pov I'd woken up an hour after, my body too tired to sleep and starting to feel sluggish, but Alari was still fast asleep and looked peaceful.After watching her sleep for… I don't know how long, I slipped out of bed, making sure I didn't wake her. She stirred a little when I finally detached and I put my pillow in her arms, calming her with my scent. I needed to get some work done, and after relieving myself, I sat around the lounge area and went on my laptop. Hours went by and she still slept, I wondered if I should wake her or just let her rest because she needed it. The pregnancy alone had already taken so much from her, and the stress of everything is just overwhelming, she needed this. She slept through the day and the occassional twist and turn told me she was fine, just resting.Dusk was approaching fast and I worried that she wouldn't sleep a wink throughout the night and I was debating whether I should wake her, or let her wake up by herself. I was watching h
