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

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

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

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'

He drove us over to the Ulfric's place. We didn't talk for the whole time and I was feeling miserable, the lump in my throat grew as he continued to ignore me. He had said that we would be meeting everyone at the Ulfric's place because they had left ahead of us. I watched the tree lined road as we sped towards north and after what seemed like a hundred years with the hybrid who was currently ignoring me, he finally turned down a curve and onto a stone paved driveway which led to a very charming and cozy looking house modeled in redbricks, white rose trellises trailing down its walls and a homey feel to its surface. The house was big and even huge if one was to compare it to my own cottage. Devon got out of the car and I did the same, I walked ahead of him, not even bothering to acknowledge that he was with me. If he was going to ignore me then the least I could do was return the favour. "Nesta." He called out my name and my heart skipped a beat. Here we go again. I just couldn't
Last Updated : 2022-08-01The Beast And The Agent Chapter 21: The New Freki
Nesta’s POV: I stared dumbfounded at the Ulfric. The Freki was dead? Gone? It was enough to set the whole of Aetheria into chaos! What was the Ulfric doing, sitting there idly? He should be doing something to set things right. He- he should be going about appointing a new one! "Dead?" I whispered. "Murdered." Liberty said grimly. "He died saving me from a bloody dart." Raphael said as he raised his feral eyes to me. He looked like he was going to change forms but had himself in utter control. "It shouldn't have happened, the attack. Clearly, someone failed to do their job." He growled low. Every eye in the room turned to Liberty who looked like she was going to be sick. Her skin was ghastly pale and sweat beaded on her forehead. "That's horseshit." A smooth voice muttered into the silence of the room. I gaped at the indolent vampire as he clashed eyes with the Ulfric. "She's the best royal guard I have ever seen, she couldn't have stopped the attack even if she tried to.

Devon straightened beside me. Silver is extremely harmful for werewolves, especially if injected into their bloodstream, it burns the blood vessels and causes a meltdown of internal organs. The brain stops functioning and renders the wolf incapable to breathe, arteries collapse and the heart shrinks if it survives the burns. Silver is a well known weakness of the wolves and is often used against them. It is banned in all the realms except the human realm."And you're telling me now?" I asked, scowling at the Ulfric. "I wanted to tell you but I got waylaid. I am telling you now. Find out who is responsible for these attacks. I am giving you one of my trusted warriors." He said. My eyes flared in anger and I took a few steps towards him before I felt Devon's hand on my wrist and stopped. "I don't need protection!" I hissed. "Of course you do, love." The Ulfric said and motioned for Liberty to go and stand beside me. "Since my nephew is also an agent and a very good one, I think he
Last Updated : 2022-08-08The Beast And The Agent Chapter 23: One Small Dart
I looked at the small dart and winced, it was a bit unnerving to know that a thing as small as the dart could kill one of the strongest wolves in the realm. "This hollow space inside.. it's where the silver was filled." Ivan said as he held it up in his gloved hand. "Hold on." Xavier breathed out as Ivan started putting the dart back inside the glass box. "What?" Ivan frowned and we all watched as Xavier carelessly snatched the dart from Ivan's hand. "What the hell are you doing?" Ivan hissed at him which only made Xavier grin. "I am a vampire, Van. No amount of silver can burn my skin." He drawled and turned to examine the dart in his hand. "What do you see?" Liberty asked as she came over to stand behind him. "There's something inscribed on it." He whispered and his eyes sharpened into a bright blue as he squinted at it. "G.. N.. no.. it's an M. Yes. It's G.M." He frowned and I sighed in frustration. "Let me see." I said as I reached out to pull it out of his hand. "Nesta.

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
The Beast And The Agent Chapter 34: Mates
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
