It had been a very long eight days of being restrained to a bed. I had come to know Henry’s scent almost as well as my master’s. Actually, strike that, I was to call him Brad now. Everything seemed so strange now. My senses were heightened to an uncomfortable degree.
I heard things that were happening clear throughout the castle. Obviously, the nights were the worst. I could tell stories about the inhabitants that would curl your toes. Anna and Rachel were some of the worst offenders. It was as if the perfect world that I had lived in with Veti and Master never existed.
Now, I was shoved into an alternate reality where I was constantly battling with my body. It seemed to have a mind of its own.
I finally broke down on day three and allowed Rachel and Anna to see me. They entertained me with their stories of how it went when they turned. I was grateful for their compassion and kindness. As well as highly entertained by some o
CHAPTER 58 - AmyThe first day of freedom and I felt like a new colt stumbling about on my spindly legs. My senses were in overdrive as I got my first real glimpse of the castle, and it was glorious.The gardens were an elaborate mixture of perfectly manicured hedges and razor-sharp greens. The fragrance from the flowers tickled my nose as the sun warmed my skin.In the month that I had been in the Lycan royal court, I had been strapped to a bed in the bowels of the castle and placed on house arrest until I learned to control my cravings and my transition into the beast. I had also been assigned the two hottest men in existence to guard my every move.Not to mention that I was in love with one of them and confused by my growing feelings for the other. I clearly didn’t have a handle on all thing’s Lycan.However, all was not lost; now that I was granted freedom, my magic had been restored to me.I moved my fingers experimentally
CHAPTER 59 - Amy“Are you sure this looks okay on me?”I had a hard time recognizing myself in the mirror. The ill-fitting clothes and messy bun were gone and in its place was a rather nice-looking young woman. My platinum blonde hair hung down my back in soft waves. The red pencil skirt fit my new curves like a glove. The silky black top was a perfect match for the black ankle boots that she insisted I wear.“Okay?” Anna laughed from where she was sitting across the room. “That doesn’t begin to describe how amazing you look.”I frowned. “You have to say that; you share my face.”Anna winked at me and went back to her magazine.“You look incredible,” Rachel answered. “I can’t wait to show you off to Henry and Brad.”A flush stained my cheeks.“What makes you think I care what they say?” My words were bold, but my blush said o
CHAPTER 60 - AmyThe door crashed against the wall as Angelica raced into the room, horror in her eyes.“Something is wrong with Evie! You have to come right now!”I was out of my seat in a flash with Henry and Brad close behind me. Angelica hadn’t waited for a response. She spun on her heel and raced back toward the nursery where she and Evie had been playing. With my new speed I easily passed her on the stairs and was at Evie’s side in a matter of seconds.The child was convulsing, her eyes rolled back and her body stiff as it shook. I tried to remember the few things I had read about what to do when someone was having a seizure. Did you turn them on their side? Was I supposed to make sure she didn’t swallow her tongue?Suddenly she stopped. Anna and Rachel were at my side and we stared at the pale little girl. Her eyes flashed open and a voice that sounded nothing like the Evie we knew came out of it.
CHAPTER 61 - AmyThankfully by the time we got there Evangelina had everything under control. And by that, I mean that she literally froze everyone, much like I had when we first arrived at court.“We can’t keep doing this,” Henry growled. I wasn’t sure who he was addressing, Evangelina or me, but he was right. They were going to notice that things weren’t measuring up timewise. However, it was a brilliant solution to a sticky situation, and I didn’t mind telling Evangelina that.“You have to be the coolest kid I have ever met.”Her eyes sparkled. “Thanks, you aren’t so bad yourself, Amy.”Henry went over and touched Anna and Rachel, releasing them from the spell.“What on earth?” Rachel flinched looking around and then realized that everyone was frozen mid rant. “I can see the spittle frozen next to this guy’s mouth.”“Eww!&r
CHAPTER 62 - BradI knew it was a bad idea the moment we stepped into the maze. There was something different about the way that Amy looked at me. I think it’s fairly impossible to say that I ever would get over her adoring gaze as it caressed my face. However, this was different. The look she gave me was carnal and full of intent.The smell of the flowers faded into the background until all I could smell was Amy. Her long blonde hair ruffled in the breeze, making my gut tighten. Her brown eyes, with the flecks of gold in them, began to shine and I caught just the faintest hint of fang.A good man would have backed away. A better man wouldn’t put himself into these situations in the first place. I, however, was neither good nor better. I was desperate to feel her lips against mine. I longed to have her body writhing beneath me, straddling me, and if I was being totally honest, kneeling before me.It was wrong, I knew it as much as I knew tha
CHAPTER 63 - Amy“Amy! We have been looking for you everywhere. Anna thinks she has found the spell that can locate my parents.”I glanced at Rachel and Anne who were clutching an old spell book in their hands. My emotions were all over the place. For a moment there, I worried that Henry might strike Brad or vice versa. And Brad didn’t even remember that I had already tasted Henry’s blood and wanted to again.The last thing that I wanted to do was to come between the brothers. I needed to stay away from both of them, and Anna and Rachel were the perfect distraction.“I will come with you,” I moved deftly to their side and clutched at Rachel’s arm.Her brow raised, and I knew that she smelled the desire that still lingered in the air from before. Anna placed an arm around me, and they both ushered me out of the area. By the time we got back to the castle and went directly to the queen’s private rooms
CHAPTER 64 - AmyI wasn’t sure I liked the way Jenny Spark was staring up at me, half fear, half amazement. But it didn’t really matter because Rachel threw herself at both of her parents. It only dawned on me in that moment that her dad’s name was Clark Spark.My lips twitched, and I fought a smile.Anna smiled over at me, but I caught the glimpse of sadness in her eyes.“Are you okay?” I asked her quietly.She nodded and moved closer before saying, “Yeah, I am really happy for her. I just can’t help but wonder what is going on with the Alliance.”It might have been the truth, but something told me that she was hiding the real pain. I had heard stories about her adoptive mother, Susan. Apparently, she was one of the leaders in the order. Supposedly she was dead, but I of all people knew that death wasn’t permanent. According to Henry, the Alliance was chock full of top-notch medi
CHAPTER 65 - AmyPerhaps it was my saucy tone, or the way that I defied him. But I went from being sandwiched between the two brothers to being yanked underneath Brad’ hard body. I felt every inch of him pressing into me. His minty breath washed over me, and I found myself leaning up for his kiss.But to my surprise he pulled back just a fraction of an inch, teasing me with his closeness.“You want a kiss?” His voice had dropped an octave and had an air of authority that made my stomach clench.“You know I do!” I said through clenched teeth. “Just kiss me already, Brad!”His eyes glinted dangerously as he asked, “Who?”I felt another twinge in my core and knew I was soaked.“Please, Master,” I whispered huskily.Henry grunted and growled in my ear. “Are you sure this is a good idea, Amy?”“I can take anything the two of you dish out,&rd
Chapter 6Lola“I hate to break up this special version of Sixteen Candles, but you two are going to need to get to dressed. The alarm went off in the garage.”I gaped at Ike was who standing in the moonlight in nothing by his boxer briefs and a healthy bulge that was saluting somebody.“Fuck,” Jake mumbled as we jumped out of bed and threw on our shoes. I couldn’t look at him or his friend. Had Ike heard us talking? Embarrassment washed over me, but I didn’t have time to think about it. The sounds of broken glass had me wincing. Did they destroy Ike’s car?Guilt flooded me as we crept along the back hallway. Ike had pulled on some clothes and boots, and pulled a key from his pocket motioning us to follow.“We need a diversion,” Ike whispered to Jake. “Time for that bibbity bobbity bullshit you’re so good at.”Jake scowled at his friend, but still managed to mutter a spell. We came to a door and Ike opened it and motioned for us to go through. Once we were inside a saw a long stairway
Chapter 5 LolaDo you ever lie awake at night and wonder what it is about that particular moment that causes you to be awake? I tried to tell myself that it had to be the rain tap-dancing on the old metal roof that kept me from resting.After all, it couldn’t have been the fact that I had over six feet of raw masculinity lying next to me. Or the fact that I could literally smell the essence of his blood, and it drew me in faster than anything I’d ever faced before. I wanted to lick him from head to two. My incisors had long since descended, and I was fairly certain that Jake did not know that I was seconds away from ravishing him.Do people even say ravish anymore? That’s what this has unraveled to… delirium.The only thing that had stopped me from sinking my fangs into his neck was that he was my best friend—my only friend.Did I want to jump his bones? Hell yes, make no mistake about that. I’d have him over me, under me, inside of me. Shit, anyway, he would take him. But what happe
Chapter 4JakeI knew someplace we could crash for the night.Surprisingly enough, getting Lola out of the compound had been uneventful. Was it too uneventful? How the fuck was I to know? All I knew was the unease creeping up my spine had me wide awake, while Lola slept on the tattered couch in Ike’s shop.The Alliance seemed to always be two steps ahead. They had a way of convincing you that black was white, and pink was yellow. The note that had been left in her room had been the final straw.Lola mumbled something in her sleep, causing me to glance over at her sleeping form.“She’s fucking beautiful,” Ike commented from where he laid underneath his bike.I tried not to bristle at the comment because Ike was only stating the truth. I didn’t have friends, that wasn’t a legacy given to a magical foster kid turned Alliance captive. However, in one of the trashy homes I’d been kicked out of, Ike had also been a resident. Sadly, the piece of shit foster dad shared Ike’s DNA. On a cold ni
Chapter 83 - LolaLolaThe handwriting wasn’t familiar. That was the first thing I noticed about the note that Jake had found beneath my pillow. The second was that a certain scent clung to the paper. At once it seemed familiar and yet foreign.“I don’t like this,” Jake said as I took the note from his hand.I was glad he was with me. As much as I was used to some crazy ass things happening around me. This had shaken me to know that someone had been in my room while I was sleeping. I was a Lycan for hell’s sake.“You’re shaking,” Jake said coming to stand behind me and wrapping his hands around my waist.I sank back into his embrace as he rested his head on top of mine. Jake was so much bigger than I was. As much as I was attracted to him, and let’s not underestimate how much I wanted the boy. But despite all of that, I felt comfortable around him. I wasn’t ever w
Chapter 82 - JakeJakeI watched as those two dick heads left her room and fought the seething urge to rip their heads off. Malcolm and Sven Draven were two of the biggest pricks I had ever met, and growing up in the foster care system, I’d met my fair share of pricks.The Alliance had found me there when I was ten. Apparently, turning your shitty foster dad into a rat was frowned upon. Instead of switching foster homes and covering everything up, which had been the norm for me, I was taken by a woman and told that I was being ‘adopted’.The legality of it all was sadly lacking, but to a ten-year-old, anything the system told you to do, you did. From there I was sent to therapy. But unlike any of the other court ordered therapy that I had attended before. This therapist wanted to know more about what had happened when I had used my magic.I wasn’t stupid. I knew that others didn’t possess the gifts t
Chapter 81 - LolaLolaThey say I am evil.They say I am a monster.They say that in order to restore our people, I must kill my sisters. The same sisters that I have no memory of, I am to slaughter them as they have slaughtered our people.They say I am powerful, but the truth is that I am a pawn, in a world of knights all fawning to a false queen.I have stayed silent while they have plotted and planned around me. I have allowed the rebels a chance to show their true colors. I have tolerated the foolish notions that I will do what I am told.But I am of the royal bloodline. I will do as I see fit and to hell with what they say.I am Lola.The only thing I am guilty of is harboring inappropriate thoughts about my best friend. And they are wholly inappropriate. Disgustingly, sensual thoughts that cause my stomach to flip and my
CHAPTER 80 – AmyHenry moved to untie my hands and I slumped into the soft bed covers. I felt like liquid, my limbs not at all behaving as I wanted them to. I was malleable, willing to be whatever they wished me to be.“I need you to feed on me, Amy,” Henry said tenderly as he pulled me into his chest. “You will need your strength to finish this.”Brad moved behind me and spread my cheeks.“I am going to put this lubricant on and begin to stretch you. But Amy, you need to do as Henry says. The pleasure from your orgasm will help to mask any pain from taking us both the first time.”I nodded and turned my face into Henry’s neck. He smelled of soap and sweat, he smelled of man and sex, and he smelled like my sweet Henry. My incisors come down and I sank my teeth into him. The rush of exhilaration washing over me had my eyes rolling back into my head.“Fuck, she is tight,&rdq
CHAPTER 79 - AmyBrad licked and sucked at my juices, ravenous in the way that he took me. This was finally my moment, the time when I would submit everything to my lovers, and we would become one. I could hardly stand the anticipation of it.My hips wanted to move, but Brad kept a firm grasp on them. Henry continued to kiss me while his hands snaked out and captured mine. I felt them lifting and then being fastened to the headboard. At the same moment, Brad’ mouth left my pussy and I cried out into Henry’s kiss.But he wasn’t leaving, Brad was taking each of my feet and fastening the cuffs that would leave me spread before them like a feast. I felt the air on my tender folds and relished the feeling of erotic decadence. I imagined a room full of faceless men that all wanted me, were dying for just a glimpse of my naked flesh. It was nothing that I would want to have in real life, but as far as fantasies go, it caused my juices to flow even m
CHAPTER 78 - Amy“Necromancy is a certain type of magic involving communication with the deceased—either by summoning their spirit or raising them bodily. It is often considered sorcery or black magic as it goes against the natural order of things.”I rubbed my hands as I listened to Veti repeat what we had read about necromancy. It wasn’t anything that I hadn’t discussed with her a million times. But it felt different knowing that there is someone else out there with the same gifts, but she uses them for evil.I had a sneaking suspicion that Jenny Sparks was behind all of this. She was the one who caused trouble in the first place for Anna. It only made sense. Now the trouble was to convince the others. It was one thing to hear about Roman being forced to take out his mother.I had a much greater empathy for Anna’s mate. I can’t imagine going through that once, only to hear that you needed to do it all ag
