The Beast And The Agent Chapter 12: The Imperial City
"Why am I summoned?" I asked him softly. "I don't know that. I was just told to appoint my best agent." Winterlash replied. "And you appointed me?" I squeaked. Why?! I wanted to scream."You're the best we have." He shrugged, his eyes gleaming at me and I knew the bastard was enjoying this. "But.. but I can't go! I have to go back to the human realm and rescue those creatures, you have to understand I can't go!" I exclaimed, thinking about the poor creatures and the vampires trapped in the organisation. Winterlash didn't reply, his eyes lowered and I felt a bit unnerved by his reaction. "The portals. They are not sealed, are they?" I asked him, dreading his answer. When he just gave a small nod, I felt my stomach lurch. "What about the creatures, Winterlash?" I asked him softly. He didn't answer. "I can't believe it. We can't abandon them! You have to open the portals. I have to save them!" I hissed at him but he just ignored me. My eyes burned and I felt a stray tear roll dow
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 13: The Owner
The grey eyes burned me down bit by bit and all I could do was stare. His dark hair were styled impeccably but one black lock spilled on his brow as if it couldn't be controlled, he was wearing a black tunic that gaped open till his mid chest, showing off the rich golden skin of his, the tight dark pants molded to his muscular thighs and legs perfectly emphasising.. his power.He looked so different, nothing like the half naked agent wearing threadbare jeans. I knew I was ogling him but I couldn't pull my eyes away from him. "Are you both done looking at each other?" Xavier drawled, breaking the moment. Devon straightened and looked away from me. "I will show you to your rooms, come with me." He said curtly and started walking towards the stairs made of flawless marble which led upward in a long, straight sweep, then divided into two, both arms leading to the gallery above.I breathed deeply and followed him with Xavier and Ivan behind me. They were busy in some conversation so I qu
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 14: The Childhood Friend
"What happened?" I asked him, ignoring the deadly look he was giving me. "I hurt you!" He hissed furiously as he took a swig from the bottle, his body swaying backwards. He was drunk. "I hurt you and it hurt me.. and I don't want to feel anything." He whispered, staring at my face intensely, my heart skipped a beat at his words. "What?" I rasped and watched with wide eyes as he staggered towards me, until we were standing nose to nose. "I hurt you, Nesta." He said softly, his eyes returning to their original colour. He looked so vulnerable. I couldn't stop my hand from reaching his cheek as I caressed his face, rubbing his cheek with my fingers."It's okay, Devon. You didn't hurt me." I whispered. My eyes never leaving his. His large hand covered mine over his cheek and I instantly felt the wetness of his blood. I jerked my hand back and caught his. It was covered in blood, an angry red slash on his palm. I looked up at him but he wasn't staring at his hand, his eyes were pinned o
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 15: The Ulfric
I felt like throwing up, Devon was holding her hand as he talked to her, murmuring something into her ear which made her laugh. My blood boiled and I had to clench my teeth to keep myself in place. What was wrong with me?! We were inside the Ulfric's castle, in the middle of a ballroom filled with what seemed like hundreds of creatures from around the realms, not to mention the fact that the Ulfric could enter any time now. I had to calm myself down. "A lady as beautiful as yourself should not stand alone, love." The deep masculine voice jerked me out of my thoughts. I looked around and peered at the big, tawny haired werewolf in front of me and was left staring as I glimpsed at his gray eyes. They looked too much like Devon's. "No words?" He asked, flashing a smile. A short werewolf walking by us stopped quite suddenly as he looked at the man in front of me with surprise in his eyes and bowed deeply in respect and I watched in fascination as the tawny haired one inclined his head
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 16: Faery Magic
"Daniel?!" I exclaimed his name and looked up at my brother-in-law, towering over me. "Nesta? What are you doing here?" He asked, frowning down at me. "Is Lou with you?" I asked, my eyes moving around him, searching for my sister. "No, she's not with me. But what the hell are you doing here?" He asked again. My face fell as I heard his answer; she was not with him. "I am.. here with someone." I said and tried not to look behind me, at the hybrid who I had left behind me. "Who?" He asked, amber eyes narrowing slightly. "Just some friends of mine." I replied, waving away his question. "How's Louisa? Why didn't she come with you?" I asked, changing the subject. "She.. didn't want to come and she's fine." He said and shrugged. I knew he was lying. "You know I can tell you're lying, Daniel." I said stiffly, really worried about my sister."Fine. We had a fight, okay? I didn't want her to come with me, there were other Alphas going to be here and I didn't want to be distracted by he
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 17: His Care
Imperia, the Ethereal Realm. Outside the Ulfric's castle. He stuffed me into his car and slid into the driver's seat. I didn't have a clue why he was so angry, silver beams were shooting out of his eyes and I suddenly feared for my life. "What about the others?" I asked him, not okay about leaving them behind. He started the car, making it glide down the paved road and soon the Ulfric's castle was a distant spec of light in the darkness of the night. "They will manage." He answered a while later. "I want to go back to the party." I said, longing to go back and dance to the beautiful music of the ballroom.. and drink more of the faery stuff. I giggled. "You're not going back." He snapped, his silver eyes ensuing a warning for me to shut up. "And you're not the one to tell me what I am supposed to do." I growled and pulled at the seatbelt he had strapped on me, gritting my teeth as I felt my stomach lurch violently at the sudden movement, making me feel as if my body was on f
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 18: Vampire Trouble
Inside the Ulfric's castle,The ballroom.Xavier’s POV:The young werewolf girl hanging on my arms tugged me in the direction of the dance floor, where a number of couples were dancing away the evening. I winced as a tall legged fae stepped on his partner's toes. No, I was not going to dance and make a fool of myself so I stopped and flashed the beauty a rakish smile, which I knew would get me what I wanted. "I think we should take a stroll in the gardens, darling. I would love to be alone with you." I murmured to her and sure enough the girl blushed, turning a beautiful shade of rose and gave me a small nod. "Sweet." I whispered to her and caressed my thumb over her fingers. We strolled out of the glass doors and into the cool breeze of the garden, the trees swayed gently around us as we stepped out on the grassy land. "This is beautiful." the girl whispered looking up, I followed her gaze and looked up, she was right. The night sky was dotted with stars shining like little fairy
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 19: Hybrid's Kiss
Nesta’s POV:It was morning and I was dressed in a simple white shirt and a pair of dark leather pants which hugged my legs snuggly. It was time to go down and meet everyone. We were going to the Ulfric's house since he didn't actually live in the castle. Weird, I know.The Ulfric was so much like Devon sometimes.Devon.Last night. Faerie drinks, drunk me, puking in his car and flirting with Ivan, I screwed up last night. I growled at myself and stuffed my legs in my black running shoes, trying to keep my mind off last night. I trotted down the marble stairs a while later and stepped into the hall. It was empty.Where was everyone? I wondered as I roamed the corridors silently, walking past large wooden doors and finally stopping in front of Devon's study. I placed my hand, palm down on the door and pushed slowly, entering the dark room. I walked inside, and over to the windows, reaching out to pull open the dark velvet curtains when a sudden chill coursed down my spine. "Who'

The Beast And The Agent Epilogue
Nesta’s POV:I woke up to a cold feeling at my back as the breeze coming from the open window slid against my bare skin.I groaned and pulled up the silk sheets higher and almost jumped out of the bed when a large arm snaked around me and pulled me into a warm embrace. The fog of sleep cleared from my mind and I blushed as I remembered the events of last night. His touch was branded on my skin and I smelled like him from head to toe, anyone who saw me today would know what I had done last night. I buried my face in the pillow and snuggled into Devon, his chest pressing against my back and I felt him let out a small sigh, the masculine sound travelling through my body and I shivered. "Still cold?" He asked, his voice rough with sleep and I felt that churning at the pit of my stomach again. He rose on his hands and hovered above and I wrapped my arms around his waist instinctively, bringing him down as I kissed his brow and the soft flutter of his eyelashes against my chin made me
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 40: Making Love With The Beast
Nesta’s POV:Devon's fingers curled around my fisted hand and he slowly opened it to intertwine our fingers and brought it to his lips, kissing my knuckles as he breathed against my skin. "I am so sorry." He whispered in a breathless voice and I felt the self loathing and guilt of his through the bond, he felt scared at the prospect of losing me, that panic was eating away at him, he couldn't get the thought out of his mind, he thought that he would lose me just like he lost all of his family. I didn't know how I felt about the fact that I was not just a werewolf anymore and I didn't want to think about it so I decided to push it back and focus on Devon. He needed me. I made a soothing sound as I cupped his jaw in my hands, my own eyes tearing up at how much he was hurting inside."I am never going to leave you. You are my mate and my very heart beats just for you. I-I came back just for you." I told him, my voice cracking at the end as I remembered the darkness that had awaited my d
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 39: Eyes Of Gold
Devon’s POV:I rushed through the mansion, my feet almost slipping on the smooth floor, Daniel following behind. A few humans tried to intervene, servants who gave up after I knocked out one or two who were too bold to come in my way. I followed the scent of Nesta, through a dark corridor and down a dimly lit stairway and then I heard the voices and the slow but steady heart beat of my mate. She was alive, I growled and burst through the half closed door, the door banging on the wall. My eyes went straight to the pale naked body on the floor, the white marble of the room stained with red blood, I saw the torn skin at her neck, blood sticking to her pale skin, her cheeks were stained with tears and I couldn't control the snarl that ripped out of me, rage boiling my blood. "She's not dead!" Someone yelled and I looked at the man wearing the white coat, his brown eyes staring at me in fear and panic. I knew who he was. I didn't wait for him to speak again and launched myself at him, my
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 38: Dying
Devon’s POV:"She came to my lands, threatened to slaughter all my people if I didn't do what she wanted, I had seen her power, sensed her horrible hate, I knew she would do it if I refused and that was even before I met Louisa, my mate." His throat bobbed as he paused, his eyes not meeting mine. "She went away for a few years and I didn't hear from her until after I was mated to Louisa. I thought that she had forgotten about me but.." his lips twisted in a bitter smile as he looked up. "She sent a bloody heart in a gift box to my doorsteps to congratulate me on my wedding and then after a few months I received a summon, her asking me to attend a ball, to take my best assassin with me to take down the Ulfric and I was told to capture you as well but you left early that night, taking Nesta with you and I didn't get the chance, thank Luna. I was.. I was horrified. I didn't want to do it, even thinking about it was like going against the motherland. I couldn't do it and I went to her, t
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 37: The Freki's Heart
Louisa’s POV:I could feel my heart calming as I dragged my fingers through Daniel's fur, he was sleeping in his wolf form, too exhausted to change forms and it was a good thing for him as being in his other form sped up his healing. I watched him snuggle into my lap and press his snout in my palm, his eyes opening and closing as he peeked at my face. I was happy and so relieved that he was back, I breathed in heavily as a scene from earlier flashed before my eyes. I was sleeping when the Beta's wife had barged in my room with a strained look on her face, I had expected the worse but when a bleeding Daniel had stumbled through the main door of the mansion, his feet bare and bleeding heavily on the white carpet as he had collapsed onto the tea table and turned into his wolf form. I closed my eyes and buried my face in his neck, nuzzling the fur there as we breathed together. My mate was alive and safe, it was like everything was right with my world again. A soft knock sounded on the
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 36: Torn Apart
Nesta’s POV:My body was on fire, I wanted to get out of these damn clothes and I clawed at my skin, it was on fire too. Everything was so hot. Someone said something to me but I was not in the mood to listen as I ripped open my shirt and shrugged out of my pants, I needed to change. My bones shifted with each step I took, I needed to go out, feel the wet dirt beneath my paws, the crisp wind bit into my body as I raced through the forest, I wanted to talk to the mists, I wanted to be one with the forest and never come out. "Nesta, it's not like I don't appreciate the view but you need to get back in your clothes. I don't want to die at Devon's hands. Okay?" Xavier drawled from somewhere in the room but I wasn't listening. I was much too aware of my wolf and how angry she was, she was breaking free and I was letting her. I shook my head frantically and rushed towards the only door I could see. I didn't stop when he called again because I couldn't and didn't want to. I just wanted to b
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 35: A Vampire's Glamour
Liberty’s POV:I woke up feeling as if a heavy weight was pounding down on my head, everything was blurred and misty in front of my eyes and my tongue seemed to be swollen like wool inside my mouth. I swallowed hard and shuddered, my ears twitched as I strained to hear the whispered conversation taking place somewhere in my vicinity. "I say, we should just finish her off." A man's voice whispered. "No! You fool! The mistress knows that we brought a girl, she already asked Talon to bring her in." Another voice said and a few sounds of rustling followed the conversation. I bit back a curse as my wrists chafed against the shackles connected to a rough brick wall. At least my legs were free. I gritted my teeth. How could I have been so careless as to let these stupid werewolves take me? What did they even want from me? My eyes slowly regained clarity as the effect of the drug they had injected in me started to fade. I could see a small wooden door fitted to a white washed wall, which

Nesta’s POV:Ivan stood beside me with a frown between his brows. "The Ulfric wants us to go there tomorrow." He said, running a hand through his curls. I gulped, my stomach churning at the prospect of going down south and confronting Daniel and his pack. I just didn't want to be a part of it but I had to, it was why I had been sent here."Then we will." I answered, my voice thick but steady. I had almost called Winterlash last night, intending to beg and even grovel at his feet for taking me off this mission. I wanted to plead with him to call me back home. I tensed as the scent of leather and ink flooded the drawing room announcing his presence even before he stepped into the room and Xavier mercifully stayed quiet as he glanced over his shoulder. "Devon." Ivan greeted him curtly and I waited for him to speak.There was only silence that met my ears, a swirling energy drawing close to us as Devon neared, aggression filling the room."Greetings, Devon." Xavier drawled and it was o
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 33: Pack Traitor
Nesta’s POV:"Don't think that you are off the hook." He whispered in my ear from behind and I shuddered. "We still need to talk." He said and this time I felt the lightest touch of his fingers against my back and he was gone, he was standing in front of me gazing at me with a cool detachment. I sighed. "Why did you call me here?" I asked him, giving my surroundings a quick searching look. We were on the terrace, he had asked me to come up to meet him, the night sky was cloudy and there was no wind stirring, making the weather humid. "Ivan found out the owner of the number." He said and I stilled. "When?" I whispered, excitement stirring up my energy. "Last night." "And you're telling me now?!" I exclaimed. He shrugged and looked over my shoulder and behind himself as if checking for any eavesdroppers. "There is no one here." I said, he was making me paranoid. "Talk!" I hissed. His lips pressed into a thin line as he regarded me with those cold eyes. Why was he staring at me l
