Chapter 6 - Brotherly love
Sitting at what can only be described as a monstrosity of a desk, with its MDF top and sides, metal capped draws with plastic silver coloured handles that had begun to worp over time showing the white plastic beneath there silver colouring. His now dead thow had not lived in the lap of luxury his little hovel had been a small flat over looking the local park, he quickly checked each draw of the desk searching for any sign of where more of his enieme made their home, or better yet signs of how they had come to this new world, finding nothing Haythem worked his way through each room checking for a laptop, an address book, any thing that he could take back to his brothers, but yet again he had come up with shit all. Frustrated he recalled Sarah scolding him for killing the mother fucker, he had always been hot headed and quick to act which made him wonder if that was one of the reasons Sarah had always turned him down, well that or his sparkling personality.
Giving up on his hunt he fades out again, his preferred form of transport had always been his black Kawasaki Ninja but the roar of an engine however was not realistic for this kind of work, vading he could be in and out of a building without any fuss, he could slip under any door and on a camera screen it could easily be explained away as a puff of smoke, fog or just a shadow. slipping out from under the door Haythem raised to the sky crossing over the top of building heading east to his family's home.
He had been relieved when a call had come in about the rogue spotting, there was a lot going on tonight at home and he had been glad to be free of the drama, he had always envied his oldest brother in many ways but not tonight. When he mated he planned on it being for love, his brother didn't have that luxury as head of their race it was law thanks to their father, he would have to mate and wed with only those who came from a pure blood family, and lucky for him it had all been prearranged. Nope not for all the gold on earth would he want to be in his brothers shoes right now.
Haythem walked up three stone steps before reaching out and placing his palm against a security pad, waiting for the LED light at the top of the pad to turn from red to green. Haythem wiped his dirty boots on the door mat at the top of the steps, wondering if the butler Grayson had left this here for his benefit. Last time he came home after a night of hunting he had left a mud trail all the way to his room. Even a male like him didnt mess with that butler the man had almost blown a gasget that night, in his human form he seemed harmless but his wolf was a nasty old crank, that know one wanted to deal with. Seeing the green light and hearing the door lock click open he pushed one of the heavy doors open with ease and headed inside. His family owned many homes but they all spent more of their time here, the house was regal enough to keep the twitching mouths of the pure bloods queit and big enough that each of his siblings could escape each other for a few hours if they ever needed the space.
The door opened up to a long cooridor decorated in the taste of his late mother, he had always wished they would modenise the house a little but could understand when his sisters could not bare to change their home. His father had been very over baring and there was part of him in every aspect of their lives they to had to live under the laws he put in place, every big life decision he had a part in even after his death Zayn was a living breathing testament to that. His mother however had loved all her children until her last breath. She had been a elegnat beautiful women inside and out and although she left no really mark on this world, other than in the lives of her children, her belongings and furniture had been the only things she had left behind after her passing from this world.
Making quick work of the long walk he heading straight for the throne room opening the double doors he strode straight in heading straight for a hidden door that lead to the main house. The house, on the whole was normally quiet but tonight there was a bustle to the house. Maids where cleaning every inch of each room and corridor, Grayson was talking to one maid, no doubt giving her work to do.
Walking over to the pair he interrupted "Hey my man, where are my brothers?"
Both the maid and Grayson bowed to him before Grayson replied. "I believe the king is in his chambers and lord Pontus is currently with the ladies of the house in the library".
Thanking him he went to walk away when it hit him what day it was. "which chambers are we talking?" He so did not want to walk into find his big bro getting busy.
Seeing the maid blush when she caught his meaning made him smirk and send her a wink as Grayson replied. "His sleeping chambers my lord"
Taking a sigh of relief he carried on walking heading to the end on yet around corridor he opened a door on his right labelled private and walked right in. The door opened on to a set of spiral stairs. Closing the door behind him he headed down into the bouls of the house, shouting as he made his way.
" Zayn you best be dressed man, cos I'm coming down ready or not"
Hearing a low voice echo up the stairs he made his way down the final few stone steps.
"I need to remember to lock that fucking door" his brother shout back.
Walking over to meet his brother Haythem offered out his palm feeling the tight grasp of his brother he pulled him in to an embrass before releasing his grip. "whats wrong with your face? you look like you just died, not met your wife to be"
"Don't you mean wives" Walking over to a large four post that dominated the centre of the room Zayn sat on the edge as Haythem took up residence in a wingback chair that faced the bed.
"come on bro it can't be all bad, must have been at least one of them that took your fancy?" hearing a laugh he looked at the dark expression on his brothers face.
"you dont know, do you! I dont get to see any of their faces or touch anyone of them until after we are married, daddy dearest saw to every friggin detail. This way I have know choise but to marry them all and hope at least one of them can get my rocks off"
A little supriced Haythem rubbed his hands up and down his thighs as if to warm them, despite the roaring fire place. " well doesn't that leave you up shit creek with out a paddle".
"And to top it of I get to have dinner this evening with all twelve of them veils and all. While we are on the subject you and the others will be joining us, if I have to sit through this shit show so do you" .Zayn stood up and headed over to Haythem slapping him hard on the shoulder before walking over to the on suite " My pain is your pain brother"
Chapter 7 - Dinner time Time was ticking away as Arwen went to get ready for dinner with the king, it was almost eight and the other women had been prepering themselves for some time for this evenings meal. She however spent her time exploring every nook and krany of the commuial space they had been given to spend their time. She had found nothing new however, she wasn't sure what she had expected to find, but to know there had been no way out if ever she wanted to explore a little more would have been nice. Walking into the bathroom she opened up the closet and flicked through her clothes pulling out a blue blouse and smart slacks she placed them on the bed before going back into the bathroom and locking the door, turning the shower on she placed her hand under the hot stream checking the tempreture, she had always been more of a bath person but since a shower was her only option she undressed and climbed in quickly wasing her body with the sweet smelling soap that had been placed o
Chapter 8 - Mate? Pontus was out of his chair quicker than his brain could follow and pinning his brother up to the wall, pinning him in place with all of this strength, growling in this brothers ear in a low voice "What the fuck is wrong with you, so she laughed it was funny. thats not a reason to rip her throat out". As Zayn was about to shake his brother of and sucker punch the fucker for getting in the way he caught a glimps of himself in the large mirror hanging over the fireplace on the opposite wall. His eyes where bullging and blood shot, his fangs throbbing peircing his bottom lip as blood pooled and dripped down his chin. Looking around the room he saw the horrifed look on the faces of his flesh and blood, shaking some sence into himself he broke free of his brothers grip and stormed out of the room down the hallway not heading anywhere impeticular, right now he didnt really care where he ended up space was what he needed, space from those horrified faces and space from th
Chapter 9 - Face to facePontus and his wife Alema retired to their section of their family home, Pontus being the second oldest and his brothers and most trusted advisor had become weary after today's events. He had personally seen to it that each of the families were transported to the manor on time and in the correct order from the time of birth. Each family was handsomely rewarded for the arrival of their daughters and quickly sent on their way. Alema had organised all the female's rooms including their communal area, handing picking everything from the books they had available to their furniture, bedding and toiletries.Walking over to their bed they were ready to climb straight into bed without even undressing, but no matter how tired Pontus was he would always treat his mate like the princess she is. Picking her up he placed her on the bed before bending to his knees and removing her high heels, giving her feet a gentle rub before moving his hands up her thighs, he would alway
Chapter 10 - RougeDamon stood in a hovel of a home. His inside man working in the royal pack had not returned any of his messages, meaning one of two things, he had either been caught or he had been spooked and fled the area. Two of his most trusted men were currently ripping the place apart, all his belongings were still there."Fuck! Let's get the hell out of here, this place stinks. The idiot is probably dead" he growled out.Both men stopped what they were doing and followed their leader outside to a waiting sleek black car. Damon sat in the passenger seat of the car waiting for his men to get in the back before instructing the driver to take them home. Driving back to their hideout he grew tired, closing his eyes and thinking about how many people he still had in the royal pack. It frustrated him to know he could not take them down, not without a solid plan and information on the layout of their packhouse. Sure they would sometimes kidnap servants and torture them for informati
POV - Arwen My heart was pounding in my chest as my mate pulled me impossibly closer to him, before he broke our kiss and he rested his forehead against mine as we both caught our breaths. He spoke first as my eyes slowly opened, looking straight into his love-filled eyes. "my beautiful mate." I could not help but blush, until my brain seemed to register what had just happened. I am here to marry another male, and yet I have found my mate. Panic started to rise within me as I became worried for my mates safety if they were to be found out. No, I could not think about that right now, not when my mate was standing right infront of me. As he pulled his head away from mine, I suddenly felt unhappy at the loss of the skin contact. As I looked up into my mates eye’s, he took my hand and led me deeper into the room. When I took the room in for the first time it was dark with lowlights, but I could still see the grandness of the room. The flooring was made of dark wood spanning across th
Leaving Arwen in bed and placing a note on her bedside table, finding it unbelievably hard to let go of her sleeping form, all he and Shadow wanted was to climb back in bed with her ensuring he kept her safe and close in his arms. He walked quickly while mind-linking with his siblings asking them all to meet him in his office. He didn't care if he had woken them up, his mind was in turmoil. He and Shadow itched to be with their mate, the bond was so strong that every step he took away from her room caused his chest to ache. Then there was the issue with the other eleven brides. Rubbing his aching chest, he realised he had been so much in his own thoughts he had already arrived in front of his office. Pushing the door to the office open he took long strides straight to his desk, waiting for the others to arrive. His office was just as his father had left it. The large room contained an extravagant desk and a spacious seating area with creamed coloured wallpaper adorning the walls, giv
Isabella, Demeter and Olivia knew what they had to do, but their excitement was contagious as they passed by some of their household staff along the way to meet with the brides, and their new sister in law. The only way to enter the communal room was to either go in via one of the brides rooms or the king’s. The princesses decided to use Zayn's room as their entrance for two reasons, one it was easier for them to access and two it would be interesting to see the look on the bride's faces when they think their king was about to enter the room. Isabella always loved a bit of mischief especially if that mischief has a purpose. Entering their eldest brother's chambers. The three women waited within the room for a short while, knowing when they entered a green light would have come on above the door in the communal area to show the king was in his chambers. While they waited for the news to spread around all the brides, they sat on the bed smiling at the game they were about to play. You
Chapter 14 Zayn’s POV Zayn got up from his throne and headed to the door, without a word spoken to the three other males. As he approached the door he turned looking to the two pup’s as they hung their heads feeling defeated, even Pontus looked confused. “Come on, I don’t have all day” I told the other males as I turned my heels and continued to walk. I made my way to my office while mind-linking Pontus “would it be wrong to have a little fun before I tell them about my mate?” “You’re the King brother, where you lead I follow” Pontus replied with a chuckle. “Good answer brother” a smirk crept on my lips as I pulled open the doors of my office to find Grayson cleaning up. “Grayson we need some privacy, but please stay close by incase we need you.” “Yes, my King” Grayson replied before bowing and leaving the room. I stand behind my desk while pointing to the two seats facing my desk. I take my seat as the two young males take a seat in front of me. Pontus stays by the door, cl
