The Accidental Hybrid and The Betrothed Jones: A New Friend
Jones moans in pain and slowly opens his eyes at the feel of something wet touching his forehead. Staring down into his face is his former mate, carefully pressing a compress to his head. "Selene..." he sighs, leaning into her touch."Don't strain yourself, Jones. Just rest." She calmly replies as she continues to apply the towel to his flushed face. "Please don't go.." Jones sighs as sleep takes hold of him.The next time he wakes, something is poking his arm. He groans in protest, hiding his limb underneath his body. The movement moves to the shoulder. Jones snaps his eyes open, ready to attack the aggressor. Instead, he is met with two small gold eyes and an awe-filled babyface. Grace backs away, curious about the strange man on her couch. After she has satisfied her curiosity, she backs away from the former alpha vampire. Jones is transfixed by the toddler. She looks like a small version of Selene. He can imagine Grace, like her mother, had everyone wrapped around her fing

"Liam!" Toby pushes his twin brother's shoulder. "What the hell?!" Liam growls and punches Toby's nose. "What the fuck? Now you are hitting me?""You are here to defend her, no?" Liam snarls. "I won't hear any more excuses, brother. You and Luke have far more patience than I. One year, ONE YEAR! Where my own mate hardly touched me. Do you know how much it hurt when I would feel her with Luke or you? But she couldn't even throw so much as a glance my way. She is either cleaning up after the bloodsuckers, meeting with Maddie and the coven, being a mum, or being the female beta!" Liam slams his fist into a tree trunk."Exactly! Do you know why Luke and I get time with her? We seek her out! Even if it is for five minutes, we ensure she is taken care of and knows we love her. What have you done? You expected her to seek you out! What happened to the brother who worshipped the ground she stood?"Liam cackles and shoves Toby. "He was a fool! He died when he found out who the b

"You okay, ban-dia?" Luke asks for the seventh time. After Liam had departed in an angry rage, Selene had locked herself in her room. She and Liam have had countless arguments over the last two years, but none felt so final as today. Their bond had thinned with the harsh words exchanged; the expression on Toby's face when he returned from talking to his brother confirmed it. Morgan, Heather, and Grace had left shortly after Liam's departure. Selene insisted they go to take Grace from the turmoil. So now here she was, sobbing. "Baby? Open up." Toby's concerned voice comes through the door. "We are worried, ban-dia."GoddessHow she hated that nickname at the moment. She was anything but a goddess. If she were, then why did Liam seek comfort from another? "Don't you dare blame yourself for that arse's actions!" It's like Luke can see into her soul.

" I still don't understand how you know this, Selene." Toby crosses his arms. Selene quirks an eyebrow at her Beta. Why was he looking at her like that? "Because think about it, one is strengthened by the darkness-that is obviously Cleo. She was already a powerful witch; she would likely use the darkness to gain more power. That only leaves the one that gives into darkness-obviously Grace.""What does that mean, Selene?!" Toby snaps. Selene cowers at his tone. Toby had never raised his voice to her, not once in two years. Maddie snarls at the wolf. "Watch yer tone, boy!" Toby growls and sulks against the wall. Maddie and Selene exchange a look. What is going on with her sweet mate? Selene watches as Maddie's hand glows, and she whispers a simple enchantment under her breath. Selene realizes the older witch is casting a magic detection spell. The air around Toby shifts and blackens. "Toby, why don't you and Luke go check on Jones? See if ye can find him a blood bag. Selene and I

"Lead the way, Drogo. We will follow ye." Maddie throws her bags in the back of the car. Drogo shifts to his dragon form. Before he can spread his wings, a cold wind and a loud death rattle whip around them. "Fomoire." Selene and Maddie exclaim. Jones hisses, wrapping his hand around Selene's arm and pulling her behind him. "Stay there." Selene rolls her eyes and steps around him. She appreciated his help, but she had her wolf and magic to protect her. Off in the distance, an odd shape moves closer. The shape begins to form a figure, and Selene gasps as she recognizes the face of her beloved mentor. Grace looks like she always had, her radiant red hair hung about her thin frame, but her eyes held none of the sparkle Selene had grown accustomed to, instead, she is looking into two endless pits of despair. Grace holds up her hands in surrender to the witches. "I'm here to help!" "Goddess, Grace! How i
Last Updated : 2021-10-21The Accidental Hybrid and The Betrothed Jones: Breaching the Border
Blood-curdling shrieks surround Jones as he approaches The Celtic Faerie Realm. From what little bits he caught from Selene, he gathered Morgan lived near the western border between the mortal and faerie realms. He approaches the edge cautiously as the wailing continues to grow in volume. Fucking banshees! The frightening floating entities float around, their mouths gaping. Banshees were without mercy, and it was clear that if they got through the border, the inhabitants on the other side would die in excruciating agony. Jones crouches in the bushes, watching as the gaggle of demons roams about, trying to break through the barrier. Since Jones is a vampire, the banshees wouldn't be able to detect him. Their prey was usually warm blood beings, not cold-blooded vampires. Despite this knowledge, the former vampire alpha didn't want to take any chances; these banshees were out for any blood, his included. Jones takes out his phone and scrolls thr

"Where is she, Luke?!" Toby pushes the vampire roughly against the wall. Before Luke can react, the wolf grabs him by the shirt, lifting him up and throwing him towards the couch. Luke crashes through the piece of furniture, landing in a pile of cloth and broken wood. "What the hell, Toby? You know I can't tell you!" Luke flashes his red eyes, warning his friend of his waning temper. "You are cursed! We are cursed! Until she finds a solution to lift this spell, she won't come back."A howl of heartbreak escapes Toby's throat, and his eyes shimmer with unshed tears. He pulls at tufts of his red hair, eyes shifting from black to sapphire. "There has to be another way. She can't just abandon us!" Luke slowly approaches Toby like a wild animal. "Listen, this is the best way. Look at you now- you are consumed with pain. If you clear your head, you would realize this is the best way." Toby sits on his haun

Chaos breaks throughout the Dragon's Belly. Drogo stops holding an arm out to protect Selene and Maddie. He shifts his head up to the cavern roof, where several dragons glide. "Something is wrong. Quick!" Drogo grabs Selene's arm, pulling her into a door on the left. A small bedroom lies on the other side, with torches lighting the intimate space. " Stay in here! Don't come out of this room unless I give the all-clear! Clear?"Selene and Maddie nod. "Clear." The Celtic Dragon slams and locks the door behind them. "Heavens above!" Maddie exclaims. She rushes to the bed and slams their bags on the mattress. She opens one of the smaller bags, dragging out vials, herbs, and pots. "We are going to need this!"Selene comes to Maddie's side, riffling through some herbs. "We don't know what 'this is, Mads. What are the dragons worried about?"

The Accidental Hybrid and The Betrothed Epilogue
1 year later "Jo!" Gracey jumps in the vampire's arms as he rounds the corner. Jones had just come home from the Thorne Castle. Shortly after Selene's essence was returned to her, Luke had reinstated his friend as Lord of Thorne Castle. Of course, Jones took the mantle with Luke as his right hand and Selene as his Queen. He couldn't rule without her and he didn't want to become the bloodthirsty Jones of the past. He had a family now- a mate to cherish and a little pup to watch grow. Jones collapses to his knees and easily picks up the giggling three year old Gracey. He playfully growls, throwing her into the air and catching her. "Princess. What a welcome. Am I early?" Gracey grabs his large hand once she lands on the ground, pulling him behind the twin's cabin. Behind the house, a large barbeque was set. Wonderful smells of meat cooking and his mate's lemon and sea breeze smell flirt with his nostrils. Morgan is the first to see the two friends round
The Accidental Hybrid and The Betrothed Selene: Sunrise
"No!" Grace's screams break through the shrill night. Danu had witnessed Carman's murder at the hands of Selene. Grace threw herself at the goddess's feet begging for Selene's forgiveness. Her men formed a wall around her, shocked at the rapid spiral their wife's life had become. Anger, disappointment, and betrayal flooded the mate bond. Selene stared back at them, her eyes devoid of emotion. The Selene they knew was no more and in her place stood a monster capable of inflicting an Armageddon that would make Cleo's vision of the future look like a cakewalk. A crackling sound vibrates through the air. Selene looks toward the sound puzzled and freezes when she finds the owner of the laugh. Carman crawled through to her feet, joy written on her face. Next to her, Cleo appeared, wearing a similar expression. The two women high-fived. "Did you get it?" Cleo crows to the goddess. "Like candy from a baby." Carman crooned. The dark goddess pulls a glowing jar from her gown, hold
The Accidental Hybrid and The Betrothed Selene: A Bloody End
Blood ran through the streets. Wails and screams echoed off the city walls. Dehmans, monsters, and devils ran around, maniacally laughing as they chase their prey through the darkness. Selene sat above it all, watching as her new reign of terror unfolded. In the short month after Cleo's defeat, Selene had spread chaos throughout half of Danyrus. Kill after kill her army conquered small villages and towns that lead to Poppyfield-Danyrus's capital. With her new rule, Selene decreed that anyone outside after nightfall was fair game or food to her friends. Despite her dire warning, there were citizens who refused to hide away and they paid the price with their blood. Carman applauded Selene for her ruthless reign, after all, it was Carman's demand that Selene does her bidding until she saw fit to free her. Selene was delighted in her new role as Danyrus's tormentor. Her human and wolf parts faded into a back corner of her mind, locked in a glass casing. "Lady Selene! We have brought you
The Accidental Hybrid and The Betrothed Selene: An Unsure Soul
A soul for a soul. It is the steep price Selene paid. Her Liam was free, but she could never see him again. At least, that is what Carman tells her as hiding near a small village where Cleo resides. Had Selene waited, Carman would have happily lifted Liam's Wendigo curse when Cleo's head was on a pike. However, since Selene was so impatient for him, another contract had to be made. For the price of curing Liam before the war, Carman would take Selene as hers. As Selene listened to the Goddess's explanation, she couldn't imagine why she used to care. Sure, good Selene would have screamed at Carman for the lie, but dark Selene wanted to grovel at the Goddess's feet. Carman had freed Selene and bestowed the gift of unlimited power to her. She was no longer tethered to being a wife, a mother, a daughter, or a sister. She could do whatever she desired. "How are you feeling?" Carman asks the hybrid as they leer at demons guarding Cleo's cottage. "Amazing." Selene cackles. "Why did I r
The Accidental Hybrid and The Betrothed Liam: Broken Curse
Liam wakes up in a silver cage. He hisses at the pain from the silver chains digging into his skin. What happened? How did he end up in a silver cage? Liam takes in his surroundings, noting he was in a dark cavern lit by a few torches. "Hello!" Liam yells out. His voice echoes in the room, the sound carrying down the cavern hall. Silence greets him. Liam tries to mind-link Toby or Selene, but the silver around him renders his communication useless. Suddenly, loud footsteps approach his cell. A loud growl makes Liam jump to his feet. A yellow-eyed dragon leers at the wolf, a twinkle of joy at Liam's weak state. "Oh, looks like the monster turned into a dog. Suppose I should inform Paiste or that witch."Paiste? What was Liam doing in the Dragon's Belly? "Where is Selene?" he demands of the Celtic Dragon. The guard's face falls. "Queen Selene? She's planning for the war. Hold on mutt, I called Paiste." A short time later, Paiste and Toby appear in the cavern room. Toby's face l
The Accidental Hybrid and The Betrothed Selene: The Moon's Apex
Kisses on Selene’s shoulder draw the hybrid out of her sleep. She feels hands everywhere. On the globe of her breast, her ass, and her pussy. Selene moans as fingers enter her, rubbing against her G-spot. Opening her eyes, she watches Luke’s sensual eyes devour her whole. “Luke, Toby stopped. Today is the day.”It was like cold water had been poured on the two men. Their hands snap back to their bodies, and there are quickly filled with concern. Today was the day Selene and Carman would meet. Today was the day Liam would finally come back to them. Selene crawls out of her spot between her two mates, walking the short distance to her waiting clothes. Looking back, she groaned in displeasure. Her two handsome mates were staring at her, bodies on display. If only Jones was with them in bed. After their explosive reunion and Maddie’s horrified discovery of where Selene and Jones re-mated, a family meeting was called.Gracey was beside herself in
The Accidental Hybrid and The Betrothed Selene: Reconnecting
"Can I kiss you?" he asks, his hazel eyes full of hope. Selene's resolve to keep him at a distance crumbled with his passionate plea. "Yes." Her voice comes out deeper, huskier as her eyes flick to his lips. His mouth smashes against hers- the pent-up desire finally released. Selene moans and melts against his body, wrapping her arms around his neck. Jones parts her lips with his tongue, a hand winding in her long dark hair, the other cupping her ass. Goddess, how he missed her tight behind! Their body melds together as their passionate kiss continues. The hand tangled in Selene's locks glides down her back until it is cupping her ass. He lifts up, pulling Selene around his midsection. The hybrid wraps her legs around his waist, soft little mewls escaping her lips. Jones's lips leave hers, moving down to the throat, kissing and sucking on the skin. The sweet smell of her blood enraptures his nostrils as he glides past his favorite spot- where the shoulder and the neck meet.
The Accidental Hybrid and The Betrothed Jones: Winning Her Back
"Jo!" Gracey squeals when she sees her new friend walk into her parents' room. The last week had been busy. After Toby and Luke had been released from the doubt curse, they were by Selene's side every moment. And if the sounds from her room the first night they returned are any indication, their bond was fully intact. A pang of jealousy stabs Jones. He wasn't jealous of his brothers' relationship with Selene; rather, he craved the affection she gave so freely to her men. Even Liam- a full monster, received her undivided attention. How Jones longed for her touch, her morning kisses. While his relationship over the last week had improved with his former mate, it still felt like a punch in the gut when he remembered his betrayal of the beautiful woman."JO!" Gracey brings the vampire out of his head. Jones beams at the small pup, crouching down to her level. "Yes, princess." Gracey throws her small arms around his neck, joy flowing through her at seeing Jones. The vampire ch
The Accidental Hybrid and The Betrothed Liam: Inside of The Monster
Darkness. That's all Liam feels. His mind has been reduced to that of a rabid animal, his wolf long turned into a beast that murders its own. His first kill was euphoric, freedom like he had never experienced before. He had cut his ties with his own kind with the first bite into that rogue's flesh. A monster inside him had been unleashed, but somehow Liam had held on to a piece of his soul. It was locked away in the recesses of his mind, screaming at the horrors his body brought on wolves and humans.His monster only found solace in Cleo. The Wendigo had become the dark witch's pet and trained weapon. Liam was sent to Cleo's enemies, those she deemed worthy of an antagonizing death. Now here he stood in a valley below the Danyrus Mountains, wolf bodies strewn about. Cleo demanded Selene's head on a platter, and Liam would not disappoint. Her scent led him here, and his Wendigo craved to go inside the
