I didn't have to wait for so long when Hermes reappeared. Since he already asked me to pack, my bags were ready. Just a slight back with a few of my things and Alaric's things as well. Eleanor was surprised by the sudden trip but she was also happy that I was getting out of the house and she forced me to promise that I would make an attempt to join the baby's games. I gave her my word and then she left with Victoria. Hermes reappeared again. "I don't know if this is a good idea. I was unable to reach either the king or Cassius so he's still not aware of your travel. Are you sure you still want to go to the blood wave? I know he won't be gone for long so he'll be back soon" Even the king didn't know when he would be back. I was done thinking, if I had to consider my decision one more time, I may change my mind and not go to see the king. So no more thinking for me. I made my decision already. I was going to see him. I needed to see him. He's only be gone for a few hours. Why do you ne
He leaned in and planted kisses along my collarbone and slid my blouse off my shoulders. Then he followed the path again, with lips this time, inching along my collarbones with wet kisses.His fingers found a nipple and squeezed it through the fabric, pain zapped through me as the sensation spread through my body. His tongue circled it, then his teeth grazed against it, then his lips widened to take in more, each move slow and deliberate. He pulled back and puckered his lips; a stream of cool breath teased the hardening nipple, an effect he accelerated with a flick of a tongue. He moved to the other breast. But instead of taking the nipple into his mouth, he lifted the band of my bra and traced the underside of my breast with the tip of his tongue. My skin flushed and my breathing was uneven. The sight and the feel of Tyron tasting me was euphoric His arms encircled me briefly. A quick motion of his fingers along my back, and the bra was loose and discarded. His hand claimed one br
I woke up surrounded by the familiar warmth I was used to. Tyron's thick large arms wrapped around me like a comfort blanket. A slow smile spread on my face and I moved impossibly closer in his arms. "Are you awake?" His gruff voice had me clenching my thighs and he hugged me impossibly tighter."How long have you been awake" he was an early riser and most often, we didn't wake up together because he had to rush off to attend to something. "Did you finish up what you had to do yesterday?" I asked, lazily running my hand across his hard chest.His fingers threaded through my hair."No. I still have to take care of it today""That means you'll be leaving?" My mood did a while drop. I was enjoying this moment and it was sad that he would be leaving soon."But not now. I want to stay with you like this....just enjoying the moment" The last part was so low that I almost missed it. I felt giddy inside. Happy that he also wanted to stay with me like this. I enjoyed moments like this. Ther
The cooking space was large. It was an open field and a lot of the women had gathered. "Let's peel the fruits," Sonia said, leading us to one side. There were low stools that we sat on and I secured Alaric with a thin blanket to my chest. He was nodding off and he would be asleep at any moment. Sonia brought the fruits out and the small knives she gave to me and just. Colton was around but he was helping the other women on the opposite side. "We don't usually cook like this you know?" I nodded. It was unusual to see any pack who cooked like this. "Our pack used to thrive amongst the surrounding pack but it all changed after the luna's death. And darkness and mayhem descended on the pack" Tyron told me about the death of the Luna and the alpha's insanity. Sonia continued. "She was murdered by rogues...or so we heard. The alpha tried to hold on but losing a mate is so much for even a strong alpha. He was missing his other half and it was affecting his wolf. He lost interest in the w
KING TYRON's POV Hunter tightened his grip around her waist and my heart twisted. My wolf was prowling at the barrier I'd set up between us, aching to go after Hunter and tear out his throat for attempting to hurt our mate.But I couldn't do that. I have to be careful so I don't infuriate him. He was so close to taking her away from me. He was deranged... out of his mind and any sudden movement would set him off and in turn, hurt Nevaeh. I was trying to prevent that from happening at all cost.I didn't want to look at her either. I know she is frightened. Her heart was beating loud enough that it could probably be heard on the other side of the pack."Let her go," I said again."Never. Not after what you've done to me. I can't let your mate go after you took mine from me""What the fuck are you talking about. Let her go this fucking instant""No. You'll still kill me anyway. It's what you've always wanted. I'll just take your mate along with me so that you can feel what I felt when y
KING TYRON’s POVFranklin moved to his knees and his mouth closed repeatedly. “That's Hunter…the one who killed all those people. He's supposed to be chained up in the dungeon not seated on the couch” The desperation in his voice was clear.“I'm sure you thought you could get away with all the things you did and everybody will be none the wiser” “I didn't do anything other than free the people from your dictatorship. They were dying at your hands” Franklin spat. “Yes. I killed a few but the others you murdered so it could seem like I had gone on a crazy rampage. The people your men killed and all the times they attacked the village” “That's ridiculous. My king, you cannot believe that” Franklin turned to me. “He's crazy and he's making it all up. I was the one who came to you about his insanity. I was the one who put the pack first and helped them rebuild. Why would I bother to do all those things just to kill them and destroy them in the end?” “Because you wanted to be alpha” H
I woke up to the sound of giggles. For a moment, it felt like I was still back at the blood wave pack but when I opened my eyes and looked around the room, I instantly remembered we arrived at the castle late last night. I heard Alaric's giggle again and I sat up in her. Tyron had Alaric in the air with one hand. While the position was frightening to see because I was scared he'd drop Alaric, he seemed to find it exciting. "Sleep well," Tyron asked, bringing Alaric into my arms and turning around to face me. "Yes. But I would sleep some more" "Then go back to sleep," he said like it was the obvious thing to do. "Then who will look after Alaric? You must have a lot to do now that you're back" "No doubt. But I could take a day's break and..." "No need" I cut in immediately. I didn't want him to neglect his work. It will only pile up. I stretched my hand out for Alaric and Tyron gave him to me. Alaric made grabby sounds at Tyron and he chuckled. "I have to go. Try and get some
Tyron captured my lips in a deep kiss and our tongues entwined against each other, my fingers ran through his hair, and our heavy breaths mixed together. I eased myself up, pulling at his belt and lifting his shirt, kissing the bare flesh as it emerged, tracing a line with my fingernail, from his naval to lips, teasing his nipples, nipping gently on them, putting my finger in his mouth, sucking it deep inside, the whole time while looking intensely into my eyes. He slid his hands under my top, stroking my stomach, caressing my sides, edging slowly upwards, feeling my body heat radiate through his fingers. He cupped the underside of my breasts and felt their weight. I placed my fingers under the hem of my top, slowly and deliberately lifted it, over my head, and finally off. My nipples stood out proud, dark areolas, aching to be suckled. I lay back, my back digging into the sharp sides of the table. I ignored the dull pain and he leaned forward as our lips met again, my naked flesh b
FIVE YEARS LATER Loud squeals reached my ear and I heard the sound of tiny feet running closer to my office. It was only a matter of time until they ran into my office. Jaden was the first to burst in through the door and Alaric followed a few minutes later, panting heavily. "I'm the first to get here. You have to do as I say" Jaden said with a wide smile, excited that he had won whatever bet they placed. Alaric was still struggling to catch his breath and I was worried. I moved towards them immediately, getting to my knees in front of him. "I...I'm okay" Alaric held his hand out for me. "I told you no running. It's bad for your health" I scolded softly. Alaric never completely healed and his lungs didn't get any better. Vigorous activities were too much for him to handle and even when I tried to be lenient and let him do whatever he wanted, we ended up regretting it. He wasn't cut out for some activities. "I'm really okay" "He's done" Jaden pulled at my arm. "You're alway
Two days later and I was lounging in bed with Tyron. He left his office to spend a few minutes away from all the work but it ended up turning into hours. His fingers played over my stomach and he lightly touched me. Since the news, I found him unconsciously touching my stomach always. His hand was always there. And if there was nothing to convince me, that was enough. He liked the idea of a child. And I knew I had nothing to fear, with him and his support, I'd be the best mother. He stiffened under me and I slowly got up from his chest. "Is something wrong?" I asked and he shook his head. "Patrick is here" I suddenly felt tense at the news. "H-hes here?" "Yes. Let's go" It was time to finally find out if I was indeed pregnant. "It's going to be good news" Tyron chipped my chin but I looked away. "What if it's not? You've been so excited by the possibility and then it turns out...""Shhhh" he placed a lone finger over my lips. "I hate that you worry about everything. Even the si
He set me down as we arrived in the room and he closed the door, pulling me by my hair to kiss me again but I stopped him. "Alaric...." "Hermes already has him now. Stop worrying" he kissed my cheeks. Finally feeling relaxed that Alaric was not alone. I stood on the tip of my toes and kissed him hard on the lips, darting my tongue deep into his mouth. A feeling of wanting that I've always felt with him spread through my body. As our kiss broke, I slid my head down and began pulling at the button on his pants, quickly releasing his stiffening cock. He groupâmes loudly, his cock pulsing in my grip and I fell to my knees. My desire to taste him was overwhelming so I put his cock in my mouth and sucked hard. As it grew, I took more into my mouth and was soon bobbing my head up and down, sucking his cock with all the lust I had. I was sucking and taking his cock deep into my throat until my nose was pressed against his abdomen. With a loud grunt, his fingers in my hair tightened and,
Life only got better from then on. After I spoke with Tyron about his attitude and I was able to convince him to stop feeling guilty. He stopped avoiding me completely. I saw him every moment. He dropped whatever he was doing to spend time with us. Alaric and myself. I was happy...free. I had no reason to fear or hide. All my tormentors were gone. Eunice and her family were kept in the dungeons of another pack. Our old pack was merged with a nearby park and the pack no longer existed in the books. I couldn't help but wonder how they felt about what happened. I wanted to feel bad for them because of the change they would have to endure but I couldn’t bring myself to. I didn’t feel sorry for them, not even in the slightest, and maybe that made me a terrible person but I didn’t care. All of them turned a blind eye to the torture I suffered in that pack. They tried to partake in any punishment I was forced to endure. They never felt sorry for me and I shouldn’t feel sorry for them eithe
KING TYRON's POVIt was late at night and I was still busy working. Kaden's pack needed a replacement but my options were limited. Another option I had was simply to merge the pack with another and be done with it. With the way it was going, the latter would be my final decision. I still had to sit with the advisors and debate on it though. I moved the stack of papers and faced another one when the door to my office suddenly opened. I looked up in surprise and saw Hermes.I wasn't expecting him to still be up since it was very late in the night. "Do you need something, Hermes?""I was wondering if you need any help with work. You've kept late nights for a few days and I'm wondering if the workload is so much""No. I can handle it. Go to bed" I said dismissing him. Instead of leaving like I wanted, Hermes came forward. I groaned in annoyance and leaned back on my chair."What do you really want Hermes?""I'm concerned about you. Everybody is. Is there something that is going on with
Her words rang in the large hall and everywhere went silent. I could feel all the eyes on me, judging...my airways close up and I struggled to breathe. I couldn't be here anymore. I stood up from my seat and rushed out of the hall. I ignored my name being called and ran faster, my heart beating as I tried to get away. Tears welled in my eyes, blurring my vision as I made an escape. Strong hands grabbed my upper arm and pulled me to a stop. From his scent, I knew it was Tyron. I tried to get out of his hold but he tightened his grip. "Look at me Nevaeh" he commanded but I couldn't. "Look at me Nevaeh...please" his voice was softer this time, pleading instead of commanding. I raised my head and met his eyes, tears still blurring my vision. "What did Eunice mean by what she said" My head dropped again. There was no emotion in his eyes. They were simply just blank and I had no idea what he was thinking. He wasn't supposed to find out at least. He wasn't supposed to find out at all. I w
I jumped out of bed immediately, confused. How was he gone? Who took him? I flicked the switch on the wall. There was no sign of him anywhere. I already started thinking the worst about what could have happened to my baby who was in bed with me. I opened the connecting door and came to a halt once I took in the sight at the center of Tyron's bedroom. He was seated in a rocking chair with Alaric in his arms. Relief flooded me but then I had questions. Why did he take him away from the bed? Did something happen while I was asleep? Why didn't anyone wake me up? I walked closer and Tyron's eyes flashed open. "Nevaeh?" He looked surprised to see me. "When did you wake up?" "A few minutes ago. I didn't see Alaric and I was frightened. What happened? Why did you take him out of the room?" "He was crying and I didn't want you to wake up so I brought him here""W-what..." I mumbled in shock. "He was crying?" If he was crying then..."He woke up?" I asked with teary eyes and Tyron nodded.
The rusty smell of the dungeon churned my stomach. The single guard at the entrance granted us entry after the other guards whispered something into his ear that I couldn't quite catch. "I'm looking for the newest prisoner," I said to him while trying so hard not to throw up. The stench from the dungeon was just too much. The guards exchanged looks at my request but nodded anyway. He led me further into the dungeon and the smell only got worse. We stopped at a locked door and the guard pulled it open. There was a little room between the door and the cells. Cautiously, I drew closer and took in the sight of a disheveled Colton. He had knives sticking into various parts of his body. There was a strong smell of blood and other fluids I was too disgusted to mention. His head lifted slowly and our eyes met. "W-what are you doing here?" He drawled in a disoriented voice. "I wanted to see you" I looked behind me and those guards were gone. "What for...to tell me how horrible I am?" He sc
I remained by Juanita's side, holding her hands. Another fit of cough started and more blood spilled from her mouth. I looked away, blinking the tears in my eyes. I couldn't look at her in this condition without feeling like my heart was going to tear into a million pieces. Knowing what the end of held made it even worse. "I-I'm fine. You don't need to cry for me" "I'm not crying" I sniffled. I wish there was something I could do so we didn't lose her like this. "Although it was for a short while...I'm happy to have known you" Her voice was weaker now, and she coughed loudly. "You're such a long person...that is what attracted me to you the first time. So different from Amaris...it made me wonder how you were friends""Save your energy," I said to her. I feared if she kept on talking, the cough would return. The force of it worsened each time and I feared it would soon be the last. "No. I don't have much time left""Stop saying that" I didn't want to be reminded. We shouldn't eve
