"Mate." Those words out of his lush lips are enough to wet her panties. Goddess above, the man before her is gorgeous. She must mate with him, make him hers. Selene throws her pants and shirt to the side of the room, running and jumping into the man's arms. Her lips fall on his, but the mystery mate claims her tongue, demanding dominance from Selene. Selene and the man fall to the cold floor, growling and moaning as they pull each other's clothes off.
Morgan smiles at his beautiful Heather. How he loved her golden skin and the way she tasted. Her unique scent of sea air and pineapple was heavenly and it drove him insane. They hadn't made love in over a week, due to Heather's rigorous academic schedule. Now here she was, laid before him among ancient stones. It was a bit unorthodox and uncomfortable, but he desired to have his mate.
An eerie light begins to escape the purple crystals. Tendrils of light wisp around the naked lovers, until they are bathed in an unholy aura. Cleo watches the fruits of labor with glee. Finally, a lust enchantment that worked! Across from the room, Morgan and Selene were unknowingly mating with each other. Cleo thought it would be much easier to keep them complacent if they were tricked with an illusion spell. It hardly mattered to her if they realized the enchantment was a hoax, it only mattered that Morgan implanted his seed in Selene's womb. Soon a baby would grow inside of her.
As their naked and sweaty bodies move in sync, the tendrils of light pierce their necks, creating an intricate mating design that wrapped around their shoulders. When Selene and Morgan come undone in their pleasure, Cleo claps at the success of the mating. Now it was time to summon the Elders.
"No!" Nathaniel comes charging into the dark stone hall. He runs to the two bodies, his eyes widening at the realization of what happened. Next to him, Heather covers her eyes, horrified at the image of her mate in his friend's arms.
"Selene! Wake up!" Nathaniel grabs her shoulder and roughly shakes her awake. Selene snaps out of her trance at the sound of his voice. "Nathaniel?" Selene feels a cold draft kiss her bare skin. Nathaniel strips off his jacket and wraps it around her naked body. "Why am I naked?" Selene grabs the collar of the jacket and wraps it tightly around her neck
"What the hell Selene? We walk in and catch you two going at like rabbits!" Nathaniel's voice comes out harsher than he intended.
"What?! No, I was with my mate." Selene points to Morgan's body. "See?" Selene turns to Morgan, her smile dying on her lips. "NO, No, No! I swear on all the fates above that I was not mating with Morgan! He wasn't Morgan! I would never..." Selene's eyes fall at Heather's tear-stained face. "Heather, don't cry, please! I would never hurt you like this!"
Morgan stirs at the voices. He stretches and smiles, his manhood on full display. He sees his beautiful mate across the room and winks. Morgan's face falls as he sees tears fall down Heather's face. Why was she clothed? Didn't they just....? Morgan turns flips to his side and stumbles away. His best friend is sitting next to him, with only Nathaniel's jacket covering her.
"What the hell?!" He shrieks at her. "Why are we naked, Selene!?"
Nathaniel glowers at him, pushing Selene behind his back to protect her modesty. "Don't you use that tone with her!"
"I thought you were my mate!" Selene hides her distraught face in Nathaniel's back/
"I thought I was with Heather!" Morgan growls, his eyes worrying over his distraught mate.
Heather is collapsed against a stone pillar, to overcome with grief to stand. Morgan stumbles next to her, but her face fills with disgust at him, repulsed by his touch.
"I told you that we should stay in the house! But you were too stupid to listen!" Selene yells at her angry friend. "Why didn't you listen?"
Morgan's anger overtakes him. "That's rich Selene! You just had to open your mouth and piss off the Elders! If you just played along they would still be in the dark about our plans!"
Selene jumps to her feet, marching up to him. "OH! I did this!? Forgive me, your highness! Next time I will fall at your feet and blindly follow you!"
A bitter laugh escapes Morgan's lips. "You know what Selene? I won't be able to look at your face without seeing the bitch who ruined my mate. I hate you and wish we never met."
Selene feels the sting of his words. She stumbles back. "You don't..."
"Goddess, I do!! I can't be around you..any of you!" He flies out of the temple into the forest greenery.
"Selene, we have to go. The Elders are coming! You could be pregnant from this! We can sort the details later!" Nathaniel wraps his arms around a shaken Selene and motions to a groveling Heather. "Come now human or you will suffer a horrible fate."
Heather wraps her arms around Nathaniel, as the older male teleports them to his cottage.
Heather jumps away, her eyes shooting a hateful glance at Selene. "I can't be around you, Selene." Heather runs to the bathroom, locking herself inside.
Nathaniel grabs a bag from the entryway closet and unceremoniously starts shoving items inside When he sees Selene doesn't move, he pushes her roughly towards her room. "Selene go pack. We need to leave the island! Get dressed and I will talk to Heather. GO!"
Across the ocean-Unknown's POV "Liam!!" The she-wolf screams in pleasure, reaching her peak as she rides him roughly. Liam grunts, digging his nails into her hips and thrusting harder to reach his bliss. He pulls out when he feels the beginning of his pleasure, and quickly pulls out. His seed erupts on the sheets below, barely missing the sweaty she-wolf. The she-wolf falls on Liam's chest. "That was amazing." she purrs. "Great, now, if you'll excuse me." Liam gently taps Nora's thigh. She protests, wrapping her legs tighter around his waist. "Baby! Let me stay tonight! Isn't time we made our relationship official?"Nora moves her lips closer to his. Liam tilts his chin. "Nora, we have been over this! It's just sex. I'm not interested in a mate." Nora huffs and dismounts him, a disappointed look on her face. "How can you say no to me, baby? I'm the hottest she-wolf at Silver-Moon Pack!" "You are fucking gorgeous, Nora. I love having your legs w
Selene throws a couple of clothes in a small bag, no worrying about any hygiene products. She didn't care how she looked anymore, all she cared about is finding a dark hole to crawl into. She runs back to the sitting room, where Nathaniel and Heather remain. Nathaniel is throwing some potions around the room, reciting under his breath. Selene sits next to Heather, but the human pulls away from her. "Heather?" Selene feels a stab of pain at Heather's rejection. "What, Selene?" Heather snaps at her. Selene shivers at the use of her full name. Heather never called her Selene. She always used the name Morgan gave her-Lena. "Heather can we just talk?" Selene tries to scoot closer to her friend. Heather's expression is full of contempt as she regards Selene. "No, we can't. You told me nothing would happen! You slept with my mate, Selene! Did you realize how much it would break my heart seeing you two like that, or was that your intention? God, Selene, I trusted you
Selene stares into the black abyss out her small window, tears pouring down her cheeks. Her little slice of happiness was stripped away by those who swore her protection. Selene reminisced on her bond with Morgan, how she always wished for her family every night, until a blonde boy announced he would be hers. Selene began to rely on Morgan for that familial bond she desperately ached for. She met Nathaniel when she was a toddler, remembering him as the boogeyman. The older faerie had a knack for appearing before bedtime, scaring Selene senseless with his imposing aura. Nathaniel was left to watch over the orphans, a task he disliked. Everything changed when he met Selene- she was special, he could feel it. His brothers had stolen her from an Alpha in the old world. Selene grew attached to the Elder and cried when he was replaced by another faerie. Selene began to act out and Nathaniel took her under his care when she performed malicious pranks on the humans nearby. He was determined
Luke"Luke, leg it! The poor lass will be landing soon!" Maddie jumps out of her car as soon as she parks.Luke gulps the woman's neck, retracting his fangs at Maddie's voice. That witch has a knack for interrupting his meals! "Give it a sec, Mads." Luke's eyes turn to the blonde woman in his lap, dropping her hair around the bite mark. The girl giggles and wraps her arms around his neck. "Luke! Are you leaving?"He roughly pushes the woman off his lap. "Afraid so."The human woman pouts and tightens her hold on his neck. "Would you like to see me again?"Luke rolls his eyes. He doesn't care for women other than to fulfill a basic need: food. He hadn't looked at another female since the night he horrifically lost his Grace. Grace was a witch and was knowledgeable in herbs and remedies. Grace used her gift to help others, and she grew to be immensely loved among the wolves, faeries, and vampires. Luke was the luckiest man with Grace as a mate, and
Selene enters into a quaint sitting area full of memorabilia. Each piece was carefully placed throughout the room, inviting positive energy to flow through the room. A small window with white lace curtains invites a warm breeze inside, giving the room a welcoming aura. In front of the window is a comfy-looking couch with a small glass table. The sunlight reflects off the surface, creating a rainbow of colors dancing in the air."You're welcome to sit, Selene. You must be tired after your journey." Maddie gently pushes Selene towards the couch. Then, Maddie disappears and reappears with a tea tray, handing Selene a cup before joining her."How are you doing, dear? I take it things didn't go according to plan?" Maddie certainly got right to the point.Selene shrugs. "If you mean Nathaniel not being here, then yes."Maddie leans back against the armrest. "I see. That must have been difficult for you, considering Nathaniel is close to you."Selene falls silent, rubbing he
*Toby* Toby and Liam were headed home after a long day of training. The day started out with pack training, followed by training with the Alpha-to-be. Mathias had chosen Liam as his Beta and worked with him every day on pack responsibilities. While Liam was the one chosen for Beta, Toby, the loyal twin, stayed behind to help his brother. He was happy for Liam, but he couldn't help the twinge of jealousy at his brother's success. Growing up, Liam was the popular twin. Toby was the reserved one, preferring the solitude of being alone. Liam was the player when it came to dating, while Toby only dated a handful of she-wolves. He didn't want to become too serious with one female, opting to save himself for his predestined mate. When Liam first claimed Klara as his mate, Toby was ecstatic. According to wolf legend, twin wolves shared one mate. Liam and Toby had been preparing for this day since they were in diapers! Unfortunately, In an odd twist, Klara was only de
*Selene* "Well, shall we?" Maddie moves to the dinner table like nothing was amiss. Selene looks at her incredulously, like Maddie didn't notice the sudden change."Sit. Eat." Maddie commands. Selene joins her, eating quietly before asking her a question. "What was that?""Ye mean Liam? It's exactly as he mentioned: you're his mate." Maddie spears a piece of fruit. "Isn't there supposed to be tingles or an overwhelming scent?""You didn't feel anything?" Maddie's brow shoots up to her hairline. Selene shakes her head. Maddie puts her fork down and joins her hands. "Have you shifted yet?""To my wolf? No." Selene leans forward, eager to hear Maddie's answer."Usually ye don't sense your mate until after your first shift. Since you're missing yours, it's likely ye won't sense them. But ye have an advantage, my dear. That vision ye told me about; it had Liam and Luke, no?"Selene nods. "They said the word mate.""See? Ye have a special path to take, Sel
*Luke* Luke jumps back in his truck, turning into the dirt road. One more delivery, then he can crawl back into his dungeon, literally. His darkroom at Thorne Castle awaits until The Boss contacts him with his next assignment. Smuggling black market goods was a stressful and challenging job, but the job was perfect for him. He hardly cared about frivolous things such as human laws and it kept his mind occupied. Today was different. He couldn't stop thinking about his new mate, Selene. Luke hisses at the idea of her. How could the fates be so cruel- A faerie for a mate!? Faeries are despicable creatures and consider themselves superior to vampires. The tension between the faeries and vampires has been present for as long as Luke can remember. Older vampires claim that it started five hundred years ago during an All Hallows Eve Festival. The two species had an agreement to cohabitate peacefully together. On All Hallows Eve, the vampires prowled out at night, seeking hu
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
"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
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
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
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
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
"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.
"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
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
