Fiona “I’m sorry but vampires? Fi—vampires are here? VAMPIRES?!” She woke up the baby. Shit. Lexi had been crying so. much. these past couple days. “Nina.” I closed my eyes and left them closed a moment. I was so tired. My friend clapped a hand over her mouth. “I’m so sorry, I’ll go get her.”
“How are you so calm right now, Fiona?” Nina was now keeping her voice conspicuously quiet, very much not wanting to rouse the baby again. I shrugged. “It’s my job.” Third person “Another failed idea of yours… imagine that…” Caius’s voice never seemed to change, even when he was enraged. The smo
Alexander Every coroner in the region had been called in. The block was lined with medical transport vehicles. It was going to be a long and slow process getting all of the bodies into them and on their way somewhere that our kind could treat them with honor and begin the process of attempting to i
I loathed the idea of watching vampire blood draining down into the floor of the shower I shared with Fiona in our bedroom. I could not, would not do that. I’d texted her before pulling away from the hospital, letting her know we were en route. I sent another message when we parked at the palace.
Fiona I was not surprised, but slightly amused, when after making love to me for at least an hour and then devouring a veritable ton of food, Alexander rested back on the couch in his study and promptly fell fast asleep. I found a throw blanket and draped it over his lap. It was too small to cover
And it got Alex to leave his coffee on the table and come over to snatch the baby away from me. He was hoping for more of the delightful laughter, but she only offered him more smiles and a little babbling and spit bubbles. He was happy enough with that, too. Nina took off, taking her coffee with h
Alexander “This is good. Really good.” I finished reading the speech Fiona had written and passed her laptop back to her. “Thank you so much for preparing all of this.” “It was no problem. As soon as I started writing, it just came to me. I did tell Brandon to go ahead and have the speech writer p
Before discharging him, the doctor had wrapped Kayden’s freshly stitched neck with stretchy white gauze. He was now picking at its edges like they were itching him. “Here. I’ll unspool you.” He chuckled and sat down in the chair I was pointing to. He was going to fuck with the bandage anyway; I fi
“Maybe. But I could say the same to you, Alex.” He looked down and suddenly became aware that he was holding my full weight while standing on his two legs. This was the strongest Alex had been yet, since returning from the desert. I could feel the power pulsing off of him. He was back to himself a
Fiona “I’m so glad we’re finally doing this.” I closed my eyes and inhaled a deep breath of fresh, cool forest air. The smells of pine, damp earth and my Alpha’s masculine scent combined to soothe and excite my senses all at once. Alexander pulled his shirt off and dropped it onto a large, flat
“I just can’t believe it,” Fiona said. She had the baby slung lazily but comfortably on her hip. Both of them had their blue eyes focused on Nina while she worked on packing her belongings into a big suitcase splayed out atop her fluffy white bedspread. “We’re going to miss you so much here.” “I w
Third person Having his wrists in handcuffs was still unpleasant. Lucas wondered if the sensation of wrist restraints would ever stop triggering memories of his time in captivity. But after weeks in prison, where he was given adequate food and reasonable living conditions, Lucas was pretty sure th
TWO MONTHS LATER. Alexander I slid my hands all over Fiona’s soft, wet skin, tracing the shapes of her curves. It was a relief to have mostly normal use of my hands again, though I was still getting used to the new sensation of having my thumbs free and being able to move them. I was loving this
AlexanderIt was as simple as that. Fiona ignored the stupid things coming out of my mouth, pinned my broken body underneath her and forced me to change my mindstate.She snapped me out of that dark place of near insanity by feeding me her beautiful, intoxicating body and pressing her own energy into
He knew that I was close. He let out a sexy, vibrating growl as he moved his lips up to my clit and sucked it hungrily, then returned his tongue to my core and pressed it up inside me again. I cried out his name and gripped his head with my thighs when ecstatic relief hit me like a wave. The volum
He tried to push me away, but I shoved his arms down to the bed. “Are you going to fight me, Alex? Are you going to force me off of you? Hm? Are you going to hurt me?” My voice was razor-sharp, my tone ice-cold. “Fiona—” “Now you listen to me.” I straddled his broad chest and sat down onto it. “
I’d heard Alexander throwing up in the shower, that night when he fought the vampires at the courthouse. He’d been absolutely covered in that black gunk when he returned from that first battle, and he’d used up half a tube of toothpaste cleaning his mouth afterward. But when he returned to the pal
