"My Lord! Here are the numbers from last quarter." Jones's guard Edgar slaps papers down the desk. " Have the Blood Bags arrived?"
"Yes, my Lord, although some are getting emotionally attached. Also your usual wants to offer her services. I can fetch her." Edgar watches his Alpha, awaiting his reply. "Tell her I no longer need her services." Jones isn't sure he should announce he mated with Selene. She was Luke's mate, and it may cause chaos throughout the nest, particularly with the females, if two elite vampires are coupled to the same female. Although would that be so bad? It's not like vampires don't share mates. Jones shakes the thoughts out. " Very well. I think the Blood Bags have outlived their use; kill them all."Edgar nods. "Yes, My Lord. Even your personal bag?""Especially her!" Jones growls. Serves that bitch right for trying to seduce him away from Selene. The only blood he would need is his hybrid's "I'm going to be away for the rest of the evening.""YeWhat do you think of Jones's confession? Things are about to heat up for our wolf-witch hybrid. If you are enjoying the story so far, leave a gem :)
Voices seep into Selene's dreams, drawing her to open her eyes. She is in her bed alone, the voices coming from the foot of her bed. She stirs, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Good morning," she greets. "Good morning, love," Liam smirks. She reaches for him, and he responds, climbing in next to her. "Sleep well, doll?" Jones moves to the other side, kissing her forehead. " Yea, what were you talking about?" Selene buries her nose in the beta's neck, breathing in his alluring chocolate and campfire scent. "Everything," Liam replies. He lifts her chin to meet her eyes. "I'm not going to lie, love. Toby and I don't fancy the idea of sharing you. Now you have two mates-vampires no less, that we have to share. However... we want you happy, princess. If Lord Jones and Luke make you happy, Toby and I will try.""All of this mate bond stuff is confusing, and I'm still trying to understand how I got a fourth mate when I had three, but I want to see where it goes." Jones laughs, lift
A polite knock on the door interrupts Selene. "One minute!" she yells, pulling a robe over her body. She opens the door, and an embarrassed-looking Diana greets her. "Are you decent?" The young Luna asks. "I'm sorry about earlier, Selene. I should have knocked. " Diana is mortified. She knew her new sister-in-law had several mates, but she never anticipated walking in on an orgy. Selene giggles. "Relax. I'm not upset." Diana smiles. "I know. There are just some things I don't want burning into my memories." Diana perches against the dresser. "Well, this is overdue. We need proper bonding time. Shall we shop for baby clothes or perhaps hit the town café? What are you in the mood for?" "Baby shopping?" "Yes, my treat. I want to spoil my niece." Diana pats Selene's stomach.
The witch smiles at the image in her looking glass. The vampire alpha and the faerie queen are consumed with distrust and hate. The witch didn't have to do much to cause this rift; she only planted the seeds of doubt on Jones and Esther. When the faerie queen discovered Selene's mating to Jones, the seed exploded, creating a whirlwind of dark energy within the witch. The vampire alpha was easier prey than Esther, his doubt and hate for the faeries were easy to feed. Cleo cackles at Selene's feeble attempt to stop their violent quarrel while the Pack Luna's voice is rendered useless. The grin on Cleo's face widens-the spell was going better than she imagined. Selene thought she could outsmart her by mating with Jones, but alas, Cleo always wins. She had to hand it to the little hybrid, she was quite the formidable foe. Cleo took one of Selene's mates and her friend, hoping to incapacitate her abilities. When they proved fruitless, she cast an enchantment to sow doubt about Lo
Selene, you can't escape me! A haunting voice rings out into the pitch dark. A cackle follows the voice. Selene tried to adjust her eyes to the blackness, but all she could feel was heavy, dark energy. She can feel the tendrils of the dark magic lick her ankle, slowly climbing up her legs. "No!" Selene screams, white light shooting out of her. A tan wolf appears from the darkness. Selene, it's me! Focus on me! Imagine we are running in the woods behind home, our mates following behind... Feather's gold eyes lock on Selene, sending a calming aura through. The dark magic wasn't about to give up quickly, as it spasmed away from the hybrid and began clumping together, rising like a wave. "Selene! Don't! If the magic touches you, it will taint us-our pup! Feather growls in a warning. A strong wind begins to swirl around Selene and Feather. Selene is lifted off her feet and churned around in the air.
Selene feels panic rise. She taps her belly and feels a flash of fear for her pup. Suddenly, a sharp pain in her stomach forms, causing the hybrid to double over from the pain. A doctor and nurse block her view. Tears begin to flow down her cheeks as she hears the doctor. "The pup is in distress." A cold set of hands touch her shoulder, and she feels calm. A male voice mumbles something next to her, but it sounds like white noise. "Get them out of here! She only needs one mate at the moment!" The nurse yells at someone out of her vision. Her teary eyes roll to the side, and she sees Jones. He kisses her knuckles. "Selene? If you can hear this mind link, come back, doll. Your-our baby, she is in distress. She needs her mum Selene. I need you. Luke needs you. Hell, everyone needs you."Jones's deep voice flows through her head. She leans into his touch.
"Lord Jones! You're back!" A beautiful platinum blonde vampiress runs up to the group. "Who is this delectable creature?" Red eyes fall on Selene's neck, and the female licks her lips. Growls threaten the vampiress while Jones pulls Selene in his arms. "My mate." The vampiress's face breaks into a smile. "Of course she is! I knew you would always get a gorgeous one." Her cold eyes turn to Selene, and she steps closer. "Hello, lass. My name is Veronica, and I am the third in demand here." Veronica reaches for Selene's hand, but Jones slaps it away. "No vampire is to touch her. She is mine." Veronica backs away, bowing to the vampire alpha in submission. Her eyes shift to the twin wolves. " Are they her guards?" "No., Veronica, this is Beta Liam and Delta Toby. They are also Selene's mates." He sa
"NO.""Jo, Luke is my mate, and I have a right to know!" Selene glares at her vampire alpha. "And you bear my mark, and you will do as I say. Stay away from the dungeons." Jones's eyes flash red, and his fingertips bury in Selene's waist. The hybrid throws his arms off her, stomping to the door. She is on a mission, and no one is going to tell her what to do. Finally, she spots the vampire that barged into Jones's office earlier, storming up to him. "Where is Luke?!" A glimmer of annoyance passes on the guard's face before a warning cough from Jones erases it. "Yes, my Queen. The dragon claims that Luke and the faerie are deep in the Dragon's Belly on the north side of Danyrus. No one is guarding them since the cell is fortified with silver."An alarm goes off in Selene's head. Something isn't adding up. "Isn't silver a vampire and wolf's weakness?" She turns her neck to Jones.The vampire alpha nods. "It is. Morgan and Luke will be weakened, no mind-linking, shifting, or v
"Gold?" Selene touches the prison bars holding the dragon. "It's a dragon's weakness. Quite a mystery. They are obsessed with the thing, and it can weaken them." Veronica muses. "Open the cell." She parks at the cell guard. The guard scoffs, "We don't allow her kind down here. However, if she wants to offer dinner..." The guard's nostrils lift into the air, inhaling Selene's scent. "You would do well to keep your hands off Lord Jones's promised!" Veronica warns. The guard looks incredulous. "Yes, he is mated to a wolf. A witch-wolf hybrid, if we are specific. Now allow us to pass." The guard hangs his head and opens the cell door. Huddled in the corner is a large male with a strange aura. He glares at the females. "Vampires." he snarls at Veronica. His eyes shift to Selene and then fall to her slight bump. "A pregnant wolf." The dragon shifter stands, hobbling towards Selene. " You are about four months along if my senses are correct." He kneels at her feet, sniffing
