My heart was wild at that point, just drumming hard with me swallowing. Those dragons were going to get it. Surely, they were going to get it. I was ready, I was ready for that fight and I begged they came because I had a bone to pick with them. My eyes turned from Dante to the werewolf king and queen who stared at us.“ And you came to us, the people who you were ready to wipe from this world just a month ago?” The werewolf king asked. “ We are your best ally? You thought you could come here with her and all would be forgiven?” He asked again with me not liking this lashing any bit. My jaw clenched only to unclench.“ If we are the only people you could think of, then you are fucked because there is no way I am taking my people to die for you. But good luck, I am sure you will get all you deserve.” The anger in the words was felt, it burning hot with me just boiling myself.We did not need them. We could do this, but the fact that Dante had put himself through this torture and humil
“ I can’t.” The words were low and shaky. I wanted to meet them so much, biting my lower lip to stop it from trembling.“ I can go get them and I can be back in a few hours. You can meet them this evening. We can even do a little get together party. You can see the pack, meet different pack members, and your family of course. You can see our way of life since you have never been in a pack before.” The werewolf queen offered with me more than grateful. My eyes went wide again, lighting up like a Christmas tree. My head turned to Dante but he shook his head, having me frown.“ Just a few hours Dante.” I said out but he shook his head and he was pissing me off at that point.“ We don’t have a few hours. We need to leave now. “ He said with me frowning even deeper and shaking my head.“ I want to see my family, just a few hours will not do any much difference,” I pointed out, my voice firm. I was quick to get on my fiery side, quick to snap.Dante looked from the werewolf couple to me. He
My mind had left me and my heart was numb. I was stumbling around. They ushered me in a room, telling me to rest while they arranged for my family to get there and the party I would attend later.My mate, Logan, had talked to me for a few minutes, telling me he would make this right. He said he was there for me but the words all were just roaming in my head with nothing making sense.Nothing made sense, just staring ahead as if my mind had shut down. I stumbled on the bed when they all left, curling myself in a ball and just stared ahead. I did not know what I was feeling. I did not know what I was thinking so I just let my eyes close and drifted away.A knock pulled me from my slumber, pulling me back to pain as it hit me like a brick as soon as I was conscious. My hand went to my chest, thinking I was dying but after a second I sat up to see a girl walk in. She rolled in a cart of food for me then told me that a dress was coming up and that the party was starting in just thirty minu
The pain exploded, feeling the dread fall over me. Maybe I had said something, of course I had said something to ruin this.My hands shook, my eyes moving from them, staring around with them falling on the werewolf queen who stared at me with such sympathy.My stomach was turning, feeling so hot with the panic hitting at me hard.The chatter slowly picked up along with the music and soon people were dancing and gossiping about me. Crazy stories about me were going around, having my head spin.“ We can still solve this. You will mate with alpha Rivers, if he refuses then your sister Elissa will take your place. Alpha Rivers is the most powerful Alpha there is, and strongest after the king of course.” The Luna said now that the music would cover her voice from all the other ears peaked out.I did not even know what she was talking about, my head lost in the gutter. I found my eyes on my father but that kind exterior was gone with him having masked everything away. I guess that hug was
“ Dante!”I pushed Logan so hard he was left shocked at my strength with my legs fast. The smirk Logan wore told me he had known Dante had been watching. My heart was as if in shreds.The look on Dante’s face just told it all, seeing the pain on his face, seeing it all shutter before him and I could not take it. I could hurt anyone else but not him. Not him God, please, not Dante.He turned around, him running away and leaving me behind but I could not let him go like that.My eyes closed and I pushed so hard, running with everything I had, leaving the silence behind as I ran to catch Dante. My hand stretched, falling on his, pulling him back.“ Dante please.” I begged, standing before him, blocking his way.The tears were already streaming down my eyes, my body shaking. He moved around me with me holding him and and rushing in front of him again.“ I am sorry, I am so so sorry Dante. I just wanted….I just wanted to know.”My words were just insane even to me.“ I just wanted to know h
We ran in silence all the way through. Dante at that point surely was just moving on the last of his energy, carrying my ass so we could be faster. There were so many things that I wanted to say but found my lips glued together, the trees flying away with the miles eaten. My head lay against his chest, feeling my heart heavy. I wanted to cry but not sure what I would be crying for. I just held onto him because he was all I had as we ran through the night and morning to get to our land.We got there in the next evening, silence meeting us when we went through the border. We did not know if the dragons had already burned through our people yet as we got closer to the castle, were relieved to not find blood littering the court yard.From where we were coming from, it was the total opposite. Nothing but dread, death and sorrow clogged the air. Darkness crawled all through the whole royal village with cold seeping through to my bone. I was sat down with me nodding my head to thank the king
Our lips moved again, more this time, with more need and just drinking each other up until I felt as if the power in my brain was turning off. I pulled back to take a break, eyes still closed to launch back at him. He was stroking my soul with those kisses. My hands moved lower, positioning him just in place only to slowly lower myself into him.I gasped out and kissed him harder as his large shaft slid in me so slowly. I thought I would shutter apart. The emotions made it a million times better and I felt like I was flying. More tears streamed, crying out because I was happy, because he made me happy and because I was so in love it felt like I was drowning.He breathe out in me, deepening the kiss even more if that was possible. It was as if we were devouring each other as he hit deep in me only to pull back slowly.He slid back in, each stroke just driving us more insane as we shook where we were, our bodies as close as they could be together. I was sweating because he was burning h
We woke up four hours later and it was the first time waking up with Dante holding me in his arms. It was the most special moment for me, our hearts drumming in sync, him having held my body all through out. I wanted it to last forever but we could not all have the things we wished for.I did not want to let go but I had to, and it might have been for forever.I did not even want to think of what would happen in the next hour.Dante and I took a shower but kept our hands off each other even through I wanted to smash him against the tile and turn my ass for him so he could slam in me hard. But, we needed to store our energy for what was coming. I kept my thoughts from that subject. We brushed our teeth, moving to the closet after where we began dressing up for war.I pulled on black leggings that were tight and stretching so I could move with ease. I wore a tight sports bra then a long sleeved black t-shirt which clung to my skin. My hair was pulled back, braiding it at the back and h
FIVE YEARS LATER“Kia, come on my love, what the hell are you packing?” Flavia asked, running up the stairs until she was in the crown prince’s room. It had been five years since she brought her three beautiful children into the world. Sadly, Kyde and Kaide had already outgrown the house but Dante and Flavia had already made a large warehouse for them just behind the castle where they would sleep.Kia, being obsessed with his siblings, ran every single night to sleep with his older brother and sister. It was a beautiful sight to see. The two dragons would fold themselves and Kia would step in between their cocoon where he would fall dead asleep. It had always been like that and it did not seem as if it would change anytime soon.“Kia, come on.” Flavia called as she pushed the door open into the little boy’s room. He had said he was old enough to pack for himself and as Flavia walked in, she could not help but sigh. Her arms crossed on her chest, a smirk on her face. Her son had turned
23 MONTHS LATER“Don’t touch me!” Queen Flavia; the devious, cruel yet loving vampire queen screamed out to heave right after. Sweat dripped down her whole body, pain searing through her as she groaned out.“Where the hell are you taking your hand?! Don’t you want to hold me anymore? After pumping this baby in me now you don’t want to hold me?”King Dante was left opening his mouth to close it.“But my quee…” His voice trailed away as the doctor peaked up to shake his head and for once, the vampire king took the doctor’s advise and shut his trap.“Aahh! Stupid idiotic man!” Queen Flavia screamed out with another contraction hitting her shaking body hard.“What are you doing there? Just taring at my vagina, get this baby out!” She screamed out, her body collapsing down on the bed.She had been at this for seven hours and she could not do it anymore. The baby should be out, heaving and crying while fuming at everything in the whole wild world. She was strong, she would fight but her con
“ VLAD!” I had never seen the king that angry, he had totally turned a switch when we passed the kingdom barrier. All the vampires from all the villages were at the royal court, summoned through the mind link to report at court or he will hunt each of them down and skin them alive. The threat was loud and clear, carrying so much anger when we got there the vampires were pale and shaking in their boots. I did not interfere, biting my lower lip and swallowing because I had never seen the king that hot. I had got a good pounding all through the day, sore in every way yet he made me burn for him all over again. His hand was so hot, burning hot as he held mine tightly. If I did not have his blood flowing through me, my hand would be fried. His anger was radiating in waves, you could feel it miles away. As we hit the royal court, seeing everyone, I nearly gasped because Dante’s eyes burned with such deep fire in them. I thought he would combust, my heart drumming in my throat so vigorou
“ I am sorry I have failed to protect you over and over again.” Dante said with me nestled in his arms in a way I never had before. I was too lazy to even stare up. My fingers drew on his chest, drawing circles and patterns while trying to imagine how they would look like if I actually used ink. My body was spent and it was one of the greatest days ever. We just lay there after making love in such an explosive way. My heart was beating in rhythm to his, having finally synced together and it felt as if we were living on one life force.“ This was a very rough time for you and I believe I came just in time, the perfect time. As much as you are not my true mate, I believe this was destiny.” I said, my head pulling up to stare at him, wanting to see what his reaction would be. He did not stare my way, having me lower back down with his arm taking it’s place again. He was also drawing his own pattern on my skin and it was the best sensation ever. I did not want him to stop.“ I believe so
My body ached, every inch of it crying out loud as I sighed in my state of slipping from sleep. I was cold, something pouring on me now and again, having me wet where I was. The ground was cold and slippery. I groaned out, a loud sound just attacking my ears over and over. Nothing but confusion clouded me. I tried prying through but all that met me was more confusion, My eyes peeled open, seeing rocks all around, them wet and green from the ever-green moss. I pushed up, my arms coming around my waist, and realizing that I was naked besides for the shirt that had been lain over my body. My head pounded hard, just confused of where I was and what was happening.I realized I was in a cave after much scalping. It was cold and just having me tremble. A waterfall curtain hid me away from what stood beyond yet as I listened, I heard the movement of water. I stared down at the shirt covering me and the pair of pants, shoes and socks folded a few feet away.My body pushed up. I lowered the
“ I am going to rest in my room. It has been long months, I think we all just need rest.” Vlad said with him moving to clasp Dante’s side in a brotherly manner.“ We will, go rest Vlad, and thank you for everything. I appreciate you my friend.” Dante said back.“ Any time brother.” Vlad said out, walking from the king to nod his head as he passed me still nursing the glass of alcohol I just could not finish. The thing tasted awful. I had drank halfway through and that was how far I was going to go. My feet moved, carrying the glass back to the liquor station to place it down. I suddenly felt nervous and I did not know why. I heard the movement behind me and I could not help but get more nervous where I stood. Yet, at the same time, my body sparked with excitement of being near the king.Arms circled around my waist as my body was pulled closer to his. My eyes closed, my head angling to the side slowly as I melted into him. I missed his touch, taking a whiff of his scent deep from the
I was not going to wait any minute longer in that ash field with the wind howling as the weather changed little by little. The sky turned gray just as fast, the wind picking up and having the ash assault our senses. I was not going to let Dante continue standing there, staring at the last piece of his previous life.It was time to heal and let go. They never deserved him and I was going to treasure him like they never did. My hand ran to his which still had blood drip from it. I clenched his fist, letting him know that I was there, that I would always be there.“ Let’s go home my love.” I whispered out.Ten minutes had passed with his uncle dead, his body dry and gray with his heart not anyway different. I was satisfied he was dead, never to come back and haunt us, not even from hell where he was going. My lips lay on the king’s exposed arm. Too much had happened and I just wanted to hold him for the rest of the night while whispering that we would be okay over and over again.His hea
“ When we are done with this, what do you want, anything?” He asked having me to chuckle as a smile spread little by little over my face.“ Me and you alone for a week in our room, only going out to swim naked in the lake or stroll in the gardens.” I said out with a chuckle pulled from the king as a smile slowly crept over his face.“ I like that.” He said back with me liking the sound of that too. His head dipped down again, claiming my lips. We held each other as if we would not get another chance. We kissed each other as if we would not get another chance again. It felt like years later when he pulled back, my toes curled. He smiled at me with such sweetness it had my whole body as if to curl into this beautiful flower. His thumb brushed on my cheek and I loved it so much.“ I love you my queen.”“ And I love you my king.” I said back happily and sheepishly. He brought up my crown then pulled it over my head.“ I think I will shift.” I said out to him as he placed the crown on my h
We reached the second section which dealt with animal care and rearing. The livestock would be brought in the next week but the facilities were all ready to go. It was all magnificent, having me nearly emotional because I could not believe we had done it. I could not believe we had brought the dream to life even better than we had thought it ever would.The king suddenly stopped and his hand squeezed mine. My head turned to him with my eyes taking him in because I knew something was up. His eyes locked with mine in communication that indeed, something had just happened.He cleared his throat.“ Maximus, it seems you will have to excuse the queen and I for a few minutes, but you can proceed with the tour.” The king said out with a dreadful feeling just wash over my whole body. What could it be? For crying out loud, couldn’t we catch a break? Not when I was that tired. I was so tired even my soul was tired.“ Yes your majesty.” Maximus said back, him bowing for us as we turned around. V
