Thank you for reading. If you are enjoying the story, leave a gem.
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
"Yes, please." Selene sighs as she wraps her arms around her Beta's waist. "Don't forget me, baby." Toby's husky voice rings in her ear. His lips find her shoulder, leaving a delicate kiss on the skin. "Look at our beautiful mate." Liam's eyes devour her body. He leans down, wrapping his teeth around her dress strap, pulling it down her arm as Toby devours her mouth. SELENE!Jones's voice roars through her head. "Why did you leave?" "Stop." Selene groans, pulling away from Toby and Liam. "Jo is mind linking me." Growls rip through the room. "Give me a second to talk, alright, boys?" She pats their cheeks assuringly. "He's yours too, baby." Toby squeezes her hand. Now that her twins are assured, she concentrates on Jones.
"When do we set out?" This is the only question Diana asks when Selene catches her up on what Drogo told her. "We? Diana, you're the Luna!" Selene protests. "Matias and your pack need you!" "And so does my sis-in-law. Matias nor dad will ever agree to help you! "Selene can't help but appreciate Diana's anger for her sake. Other than Heather, Selene had never had female companionship. Diana was turning into one of her best friends. "You're right. But I think Liam and Toby will be on board..." "How can you be so naive, Selene?" Diana cuts her off. "They are Beta and Delta of the pack! They are just as possessive and dominating as Mathias. You are the prophecy, and it's your right to fight!" Diana looked like she was on the cusp of a tangent but held back for Selene's sake. "Alright, Di, you convin
LukeLuke doesn't know how long he has been in the cave. Other than changing guards, Luke did not have any way to check the time, day, or location. Morgan had been able to conjure a timepiece the first week with his magic, but they almost got caught by a nosy guard in the process. So now both men are hanging on by a thread. There was hardly any food or sleep in their cramped cell, and other than each other for company, they weren't left with anything to occupy their time. Luke tries to keep busy by replaying memories- memories of Grace and Selene. Then he would plan a future with Selene, one with pups and a large yard.Morgan snorts awake and frantically looks toward the cell door. The dragon guards were whispering loudly. The blonde-haired guard whips his head at Luke-signaling his partner. "Someone is coming. I can feel magic."Luke stretches his sore back and leans against the cave wall. "Has Nathaniel said anything to you?"Morgan falls silent. Something had happened
