We are under attack. Rogues were spotted just outside pack borders. All warriors are asked to report to Beta Liam and meet at the border. Initiate lockdown of all non-warrior wolves. Mathias's voice booms over the pack mind link. Liam and Toby jump up, kissing Selene before running out the door. Jones and Luke look to Selene."Rogue attacks on the border."
"We are leaving now!" Jones barks. He scoops her up and kicks open the bedroom door. "JO! I'm the female beta!" she screams in protest.
"And you're the Queen of Thorne Castle! This is non-negotiable, Selene!" Jones barrels out the door with Luke hot on his heels. "Jones, you forget I am her mate as well! Put her down!"
Jones snarls at his friend. "Want to repeat that again, Luke? Need I
Tell me what you think about Cleo's confession? Think you for all the lovely gems!
"SELENE!" Jones roars. His mate had thrown Luke and himself into a nearby tree and disappeared. When did she learn how to throw people? Jones's eyes shift to red, his fangs protruding out of his lips. His vampire instinct took over, the promise of a hunt sending a thrill of delight through him. He would hunt and murder that witch, drain every drop from her body, and then turn Selene's ass red."Calm down, mate." Luke rubs his injured head. "Releasing our demons isn't going to help her." Jones snaps, pouncing on the raven-haired vampire and digging his claws into Luke's biceps. "Don't tell me how to react! I have taken care of her, loved her from the minute I met her. You threw her aside like some common trash until I started showing interest!" The vampire alpha slams Luke's head into the ground."Yea, I was a complete arse to her, and I will make it up to her for the rest of her life! A fact that I'm sure you will remind me of constantly." Luke roughly shoves Jones o
"Woo! I see someone is harnessing their magic! Well done!" Cleo cackles as Selene frees Drogo from his air cage. "I am sure we will have company soon.""It's just you and me, Cleo." Selene focuses on her magic, ready for the dark witch attacks. "Let's end this dance, shall we?"Cleo cruelly smirks. "I'm going to enjoy slowly killing you, hybrid. I will drain the magic from your body until you are begging me for relief. I won't grant it then; I will wait until you are on the cusp of hope as your loved ones arrive, and then will I grant you death."Selene grimaces. "You really have thought my demise through, eh Cleo? I hope to shatter your dreams.." Selene readies a disarming spell, the words on the tip of her tongue. But, before she can recite the incantation, Grace's voice gives her pau
"Selene, you're almost fully dilated. I'm going to need you to push when I tell you too, alright?" The healer's warm face glances over the hybrid's hips. "Apologies for not introducing myself. I'm Nadia- the healer at the Thorne Castle." Another contraction rips through Selene. "Breath, sweetie." Nadia motions one of her assistants to hold her hand. " Remember, slow deep breaths - in and out.""NO!" Selene screams. "My mates and the father aren't here. I can't..." She huffs and sobs from the immense pain. "Selene..?" Nadia's motherly voice calls. "..It's alright. Lord Jones is trying to find them, remember? But we can't wait. The pup has been exposed to a great amount of magic. She wants out, so push." Tears run down Selene's cheeks as another contraction shoots through her. "How far apart was that?" Nadia asks one of the vampires. The vampiress says something to Nadia, but Selene is too focused on the pain. Nadia motions everyone in place for the delivery. A cold h
Days. It had been days since the pup's arrival, and things had been a living hell for Selene. Her beautiful daughter was having complications due to the magic residue from forcing her out of the womb, and the search for Jones had drawn no answers. Liam and Toby had joined the search initially but were called back to the pack land when a group of rogues attacked. Selene's family couldn't come to the castle due to the restlessness of the Thorne Vampires, some even protesting the non-vampire queen. Luke had been busy with paperwork and trying to fight the vampires that wished his mate harm. In short, Selene was alone once more, unable to run with her wolf or see her best friend. Speaking of Morgan, he had been unavailable the last week. Regardless of how many times Selene sent one of her vampire guards to check on him, they always returned with the same answer: he is gone. Selene wished she could reach out to Grace, but her mentor had shut herself in the white room with Cleo to protect
Luke slowly lowers on top of her. His lips crash down on hers. He kisses her softly, taking his time to explore her mouth. The feeling of coming home drowns him as he takes her. The moment Luke had yearned for the last several months is finally here, and he fought every desire to claim her roughly, pounding into her tight pussy until it squeezes his member dry. His beautiful Selene didn't deserve that. He wanted their first time to be memorable; he wanted to worship every inch of her skin. His hands roam over her curves until they stop at her hips. Selene wraps her arms around his neck, moaning as pleasant shivers run to her core. Luke moves his lips off hers, planting butterfly kisses over her face as he slowly moves to her neck to suck on his mark. A jolt bursts through Selene; she moans loudly from the pleasure ripping through her body. Luke pushes his lips back to hers. "Let me make love to you."Selene can only reply with a nod. Luke removes his shirt and slips it ou
The group enters Luke's room ten minutes after Selene gets the message. At the front of the group are Morgan, Liam, and Toby, eyes glazed over from emotions as they gaze on the newborn pup. "Morgan.." Tears fall at the sight of her best friend. He runs to her in a choked sob, burying his face in her stomach. "Selene." He cries. "Thank you, my wonderful bestie, for bringing our daughter into the world."Luke moves away from the new parents, begrudgingly giving them space. He is conflicted about Selene and Morgan's relationship. Still, it led to the beautiful girl in Selene's arms, so he adjusted."Do you want to hold her?" Selene holds out the baby to Morgan. He nods rapidly, gently taking the tiny being into his arms. "Hi, angel." He gently kisses the pup's head, watching as the baby coos at the affection.
"Good morning, beautiful." Selene feels a feather-light kiss on her shoulder. "Mornin." Liam leans to take her lips, moving over them in a gentle caress, full of promises of tender morning kisses to come. Selene sighs in happiness when they part."There was something I was going to tell you last night, but we were busy." Liam waggles his eyebrows. Selene giggles and kisses his cheek. Liam reaches for something on the nightstand. Once he finds it, he turns to show it to Selene. She gasps as she sees him holding a small velvet box. "I've been holding on to this for the longest time. I wanted to give it to you before we mated. Still, things got in the way, so..." he opens the box, revealing a beautiful ring with two wolves intertwined, a purple stone above them, the carving. Liam takes her right hand, slipping the ring on her finger. He kisses it. "You're mine, and I am yours.""I have always been yours." Selene cups his cheek."Oi, I thought we would do this together." To
The Day of Grace's BirthCeltic Faerie Realm- Queen's Library.Your Majesty!" Nathaniel almost collapses into Esther's desk. Esther raises a brow at the frantic male. "What is it, Nathaniel? I'm busy sorting through diplomatic relations.""It's Selene. She went into labor!" Nathaniel clutches his chest and collapses on a chair. He was not as spry as he was in his youthful days. Blame it on raising a headstrong girl or that he didn't have much room to roam due to the constricting lands on Gabriel Island. Esther's brows raise to her hairline. "That is impossible! She isn't due for another month.""Perhaps she is early? Either way, I must go, Esther. I need to go to the waterfall and alert Morgan. I understand he wanted privacy with hi
