It had been two days since Lily and Lucy did the transfer and bind spell on Jessica and Ariel. The Luna's body seemed to be adapting well and Jessica was enjoying running in the woods in her beast form. It was therapeutic to her as it helped to ease her mind off the memory of killing Adam. Once the mages felt sure the two women were alright, Lily chose to return to the Timber Wolf Pack, where she still had two more years left as the beta family's servant. After Chadwick, the beta's son, saved her from some rogues, she promised him five years of her magical services as gratitude. "Laura and I will see you at the ball in two months, sister," Lily stated as she hugged her eldest sister. "I can't wait to have both my sisters in one place for a change," Lucy beamed as she watched Lily walk through the portal door to the Timber Wolf Pack. "Don't worry. We'll see each other again before we know it," Ariel assured Jessica, who was complaining about her leaving so soon. The two c
Another month passed, and Jessica grew stronger and more resilient. It was the day of the full moon and she found herself sitting on the grass under the tree in the Godly Plains. She was already there for like four hours, talking to the Moon Goddess about all the stuff you'd usually discuss with your bestie. But Selene noticed that something else was bugging Jessica. "Tell me what worries you, my child." “I'm sorry if I seem grumpy and out of it. It's just that Annabella is driving me crazy. She is threatening to have me banished when she becomes queen, and also she’s demanding to do a photoshoot with Kanyon, plus she wants them both to be naked," Jessica snickered. "I wish I could just stuff her in a barrel and throw her in the ocean and be done with her." “You don’t have to worry about her becoming queen, because you already are.” “I know. But sometimes I wish I could throw my status in her face.” “I understand. So is Kanyon on board with this nude photoshoot?” "No!
"Sinbad! You need to change back into Kanyon right now!" Cameron ordered, but the beast just snuggled closer to Jessica, who was snoring. Her body was completely drained, and she had no clue why she kept sleeping so much. 'I don't take orders from you,' Sinbad snarled. 'Now leave before I maul you.' "I can't leave until I fix the doors. You caused a number of damages with the little stunt you pulled downstairs,” Cameron yelled. 'Keep your damn voice down before you wake my wife.' Cameron huffed, but decided to continue speaking through their link. ‘Can I just send someone to repair the doors?’ 'Sure. But tell them they have to be quiet, because If they wake Jessica, they will die.' Cameron observed the enormous beast. He'd never seen him behave this protective before, and the last time he went this wild was when Ellie passed away. ‘Before I leave, do you mind if I have a word with Kanyon first?’ 'No,’ Sinbad said dryly. 'No? What do you mean no?' Cameron scoffed.
Kanyon was humming with joy as he strolled to Anna's room. Jessica's skills as a lover were becoming more and more outstanding. Even though they only did it once, it was enough to keep him through the rest of the week. He adjusted his shirt collar before knocking on Anna's door. He glanced at his watch. He was around two minutes behind schedule. "You're late!" the angry she-wolf slammed the door shut as she joined him in the hallway. "You said 10 am sharp.""Stop being so dramatic. I'm just a couple of minutes late, and it's not like anyone died,” he grunted. "Well a lot could have happened in two minutes." "Nothing happened. Now quit your whining and let's go." "I've been ready and waiting for an hour, since you normally show up earlier than usual." Anna continued her babbling as Kanyon took her arm and guided her to the car. "I hope the skies won't turn red today since you're on time for once in your life," Kanyon rolled his eyes. Anna snarled as her eyes glazed yellow. "Let me
"I'm so sorry I'm late, my love. Anna was being difficult, and I had to ensure she ate, and then I stayed until she fell asleep.” Kanyon was talking so fast his words seemed jumbled. "Shh," Jessica took his face in her palms and lowered it to hers. The instant her lips brushed against his, he felt all his worries fade away. “The only thing that matters is that you are here now. I’m just going to grab my phone and then we can leave." "Alright. The car is waiting outside." Kanyon was nervous this time around as he sat in the vehicle with Jessica's head on his shoulder. She could feel the tremor running through his veins. "Why are you shaking so much?" Jessica asked him. "I don't know. My mind is going to worse-case scenarios," he sighed. "Like what if your body is growing weak because it misses Cordelia or what if my baby-mama-drama has been putting a strain on your well-being?” "I know what you're doing. You think it's your fault that I've been feeling sick lately, but I a
King Kanyon was blinking rapidly, trying to clear the fog of disbelief that clouded his vision. Maybe he didn't hear the doctor right. His eyebrows shot up, forming a high arch of astonishment. "Dr. Clarke, I need you to repeat that." Kanyon's words were low but effective. "Did you just say Jessica is pregnant?" "There's no doubt in my mind, King Kanyon. Your mate is indeed pregnant." Dr. Clarke was sure. "It showed up in her urinalysis, plus the lines on the pregnancy test were strong positives too, meaning that the pregnancy hormone, HCG, is high in her system." Jessica's jaw dropped, eyes widening in disbelief as if a sudden jolt of electricity had coursed through her veins, leaving her momentarily stunned. She swallowed, trying to soothe her dry throat. Pregnant? She couldn't believe it. She clutched her chest, feeling her heart race. Each beat a thunderous echo. "I am pregnant?" She whispered. Her mind was prepared to hear the doctor say he had made a mistake. But his word
Jessica sat on the carpet while she watched Kanyon unpack the final items of clothing he brought from her old bedroom. She felt a bit strange watching him organize and fold her delicates. Her tummy was doing all types of flips. Something about a man folding a woman’s laundry made Jessica horny. "Kanyon, I could have done all of this myself. You didn't have to take the morning off." "I know, but I wanted to," he let out as he stuffed a lingerie made up of only strings in the top drawer. Clearly he was enjoying his tasks this morning. "Ariel bought me those," Jessica tried to explain herself to him. Even though they had been intimate numerous times now she had never wore any of the sexy outfits for him as yet. "Then remind me to give Ariel my thanks next time I see her," Kanyon smirked while he admired a crotchless red one piece that seemed to have him drooling. He couldn’t wait to see Jessica in this one. Jessica was totally embarrassed and it showed. It had been seven
"Why on earth did Constance fail to mention that Reniece and I were promised to each other when we met with her the other day?" Cameron was pissed. "Because she isn't trustworthy," Kanyon expressed. "I always thought she wanted to match you with her daughter because of April's feelings for you, but I now feel there's something deeper at play." Kanyon remembered how shock the priestess was when she found out his sister was alive and well. He had to get to the bottom of this somehow. "So Cameron and I were always meant to be?” Reniece let out. "And to think we are also mates. This has to be fate.""Our parents wanted to join our families together for a long time, if the Purebloods had a daughter, it would have been me who would have joined our houses, but Cameron is an only child, so when you were born, I guess our parents thought it should be you and Cameron to join our families," Kanyon explained. "If you weren't lost for so long, you two would have been joined on your eighteenth bi
"King Kanyon!" Daniel bowed. "What is going on and why am I here?" Daniel strode over to the king while he finished buttoning his shirt. "Alpha Daniel. Is that really you?""Of course it is, Your Majesty. Is this some kind of April Fool's joke?" he scoffed. "I wish it was," Cameron mumbled. "What's the last thing you remember?" Kanyon asked. "Well, Sofia and I had just celebrated our twentieth wedding anniversary. First, we wandered through the park, then we ran a bit in wolf form, and after that, we went to bed. The next thing I knew I was waking up on that table over there," he finished, pointing to the mage's gurney-like table. "Father, that was over ten years ago," DJ spoke up. "Mom has been dead for fifteen years."Daniel's eyes landed on the tall, muscular man that just called him father. He looked like his son, but a way more mature version. "DJ, is that you? But you look so old. And Sofia is not dead. She can't be." "I'm thirty-five now, Dad, and yes, mom is dead." "How
"Cameron, what's going on? Everything started shaking, and I thought we were having an earthquake," Ren rushed into her husband's arms the moment she laid eyes on him. His gaze wandered to Theodore, who had a terrified Falcon in his arms."No, it's not an earthquake." He kissed the top of his wife's head before spreading a viral message through the pack link, urging all castle residents to get to their bedrooms, lock their doors, and widows then fortify the entrances with Moon Petals. He instructed the guards to secure every entrance and exit in the castle with Moon Petals as well. No one should come in or go out. "Are we under attack?" Falcon asked as he sank his face into Theodore's chest. The vampire prince held his mate tightly, stroking his shoulder for comfort. "No, but someone is doing something inside the castle that they shouldn't be doing," Cam let out. "Everyone stay close together and follow me. We're going to Lucy's chambers."******"Your Majesty," one of the nannies b
King Kanyon sat down at the head of the table while he conducted this meeting. “Cameron, is the Graceland kid still lurking around the town?” Kanyon inquired. “You mean Cory? Yes, he’s still being a creep. My informants told me he has been spending most of his time in the crafts shops,” Cam chuckled. “Why the hell was he still here?” Kanyon gritted his teeth. “I don’t know, but as long as he doesn’t come near the castle, and near Twinkle, I’m good,” Cam added. “Is there anything you’d like to add, DJ? Do you need any help with anything?” Kanyon asked DJ. “No. I cannot think of anything right now, but if I do, I’ll let you know,” he stated and the king could taste the sorrow on DJ as the young Alpha spoke, but he kept his composure. DJ's voice didn't crack once. “So Annabella is really gone?" he asked, leaning back in his seat with his palms resting flat on the table. "I'm sorry, man. I know how much she meant to you," Cameron rested a palm on DJ's shoulder. "Thank you, Master
“You will not have either of us!” Jessica exclaimed in a fit of rage as she confronted the being possessing her cousin. "Let me help you rephrase that,” it smirked. “I cannot have you — yet," Constance put emphasis on the word ‘yet’ which made Jessica angrier. Constance felt Ariel's soul fighting for its body back. "It looks like my time here is running out. Even though I know you've been warned already Queen Jessica, but I think I will warn you again. Mistress Paloma says Alpha Daniel's soul already belongs to her, so if you do this spell and bring him back to life, then there will be grave consequences.""What kind of consequences?" June asked. "The bad kind," Constance let out. She felt Ariel pushing her out now. "I will go now, but one of you has to break the seal." June walked up to her and used her foot to break the circle. Ariel began to throw up what looked and smelt like tar. Jessica sprinted to her side and held her hair away from her face. The tar transformed into black
The lamb baaed and bleated as the entity possessed it. The poor sheep's eyes rolled over in its head as the scent of death and despair stained the air all around. Little by little, its face twisted into something ghastly, an abomination between a human and a demon. "Who are you, and why have you come here?" June asked as she stepped up to the animal who was bucking and chewing at the bars of the cage. The iron bars sizzled and burned the creature's tongue. It hissed and scurried back into the centre. "Saltttt!" the demon spat. The tone of the voice told June it was a woman. The three mages swallowed hard. They had never witnessed anything like this before. Luna Ariel was in a corner with her heart beating like a war drum, rethinking this whole resurrection thing. Queen Jessica, however, could have sworn that the creature's voice sounded familiar. "State your name now and tell us why you have come here?" June barked once more."I came for," the lamb paused as it cackled then slow
As midnight drew near, the palace took on a dark and eerie atmosphere. Jessica and Ariel quietly made their way to the south side of the building where Lucy's chambers were located. With Lily's support, Jessica discovered how to turn off her mindlink so that Kanyon wouldn't pick up on anything she preferred to keep a secret from him. This decision wasn’t easy for her. She felt awful keeping this from her husband. Jessica squeezed her cousin's hand harder as they made their way down the path. "Don't be nervous," Jessica whispered. "I truly believe everything will be alright.""I wish I could be all mellow like you, but I can't. My mind's racing with all the ways this could play out, and I have no clue what to expect,” Ariel sighed. "I understand, but try and be positive,” Jessica kissed her palm. “Now chin up because we're here," Jessica stated as they settled on Lucy’s welcome mat. The queen tapped on the door, and Laura opened it for them. “Get it,” Laura ushered them inside qu
"Resurrection spell? Isn't that considered dark magic?" Ariel swallowed hard. It seemed like everything in the room was spinning. When she was younger, she was always taught that if you fooled around with dark magic, it could cause you to lose your soul. "The darkest of dark, Luna. But our queen here doesn't seem to understand how dangerous this is,” Lucy huffed. “So Ariel, I will need you to step up and be the wise one. Alpha Daniel was your husband, and even though we all miss him and believe he didn't deserve that fate, the choice lies with you. If you tell Jessica that you don't want this, then she cannot continue with this madness. Take your husband's body home and give him the proper burial he deserves. Don’t let her taint his vessel like this.” Lucy eyed Jessica sternly. "Lucy! Watch your tone," Jessica hissed. “You act like I’m going to use a knife and carve into Daniel’s body.”“You might as well do that,” Lucy rolled her eyes. "Ariel, don't listen to her,” Jessica sighed.
"Lucy, are you still mad at me?" Lily asked her sister as they stepped into the portal door. Lily tried grabbing her sister's hand, but Lucy flashed her off. Laura had already gathered the sages and candles needed for the spell and was sitting on the floor by Lucy's bed, waiting for her two sisters to return. Zap!!! The door appeared and Laura tasted the bitterness between her two sisters as they stepped out of the portal. "Did you guys get all that we will need?" Laura asked. "Yes, and we had to kill two trolls to get the toes we required," Lucy gagged as she scraped the goo off her hand and flashed it on the ground. "So how did you do? Did you get everything else?""Everything except the witch's blood.""Where are we going to get witch's blood from?" Lily sought. There weren’t any witches in the kingdom. Laura looked at Lucy."No! I cannot ask June to be a part of this," Lucy shook her head. "It's just a little blood," Laura added. "It's not like you're gonna ask her to help pe
“Forgive me for what I am about to say,”Lily blew out a breath as she stared at the woman in front of her who was asking her to perform a forbidden spell. “Are you out of your freaking mind, Your Majesty?” she yelped. She was shocked by what the queen was proposing. “That's some serious dark magic, Queen Jessica.”“I know, but maybe if you teach me how to do it like how you've been helping me with spirit summoning, then maybe you won't have to get involved,” Jessica pleaded her case. “You are smart enough to know only a mage or a witch can cast such a spell, so there's no way I'm letting you do that. And what if you died? The king would have my head and then maybe my sisters’ heads as well,” Lily scoffed. “You're not letting me do this?” Jessica snickered at the mage as she repeated her words. "If I command you to do it, then you will do as I say. Am I not your queen?"“Of course, but —,”"Then it's settled. You will gather the ingredients for this spell and I will stall Kanyon and
