The Bitten and the Born Hail to the Royal Family
As they went to the now longer head of the table, they found people waiting to pull back their chairs. They took their respective places as in the throne room, stepped in front of their chairs in unison. The people pushed their chairs in simultaneously. They lowered into their chairs together. It was a sight to behold! They moved as one. How connected they must be! People shuddered in fear of the way the attendees were looking at their Royal Family. Thoughts jolted from one mind to the next, “What kind of potential does this Royal Line contain?!” “What if this blows up in all our faces?” “My heart, they’re beautiful!” Raven looked at them all and smiled. She thought of how they resembled her forrest friends and their temperaments. Alexandre looked upon them and stayed perfectly poised. Bradford looked at them and specifically wanted to see the expressions of his old posh acquaintances. And Bastion looked over the room entirely. His wife was the exotic powerful intoxicating woman he

As the banquet came to a close, several of the military leaders were present. Bastion called for them all to meet in the business suite. As they filed into the room their weapons were placed on the rack. Bastion planned to nip this vile bud from the vine. “Thank you all for coming. Please come in. Have a glass of blood and take your seats. We have much to discuss.” The men all came in chattering amongst themselves about their battles and their fronts they held. “We’ve held the Lycans off up until the enchanted forrest and its water.” “We have kept the trade lines clear of bandits. There’s hasn’t been an incident in a long while now.” “Yes, but the neighboring clan has been making their way towards our forrest borders and I fear they have foul intentions,” one of the officers mentioned. “All right. Meeting is in session. We have all been trying to figure out what we can do in order to make things more peaceful between the clans. The one thing we have in common, the Lycans, has bec

“Thats all we need to cover tonight. We will reconvene when all members are present. Tonight go feed your souls and trouble me no more.” Bastion left and went to find Raven. He went to the ladies apartments to see what the plan was going to be for her lessons. He rapped at the door and gently turned the knob. “Raven?” He saw her sitting by the fire holding a letter down by her side while she gazed into the oblivion. He knew that she discovered her mama’s departure and he felt the pain in her. “This isn’t a long goodbye. We only have weeks to prepare you both and divide and teach is the best plan. I need to teach you how to do your best powerful work with your dark abilities. It’s trickier than you think to do it on demand. You’ve always been a natural. So let’s move from emotional control to intentional control.” Raven cried as she sat there. She recalled the years of fear and loneliness. Her heart ached that she didn’t even get to say goodbye. What if they never see each other ag

Alexandre and Bradford stepped into the protective circles. The familiar scent of lavender and lemongrass filled their noses. This time felt different to Bradford. He felt welcome and safe. They stepped inside to the cabin and Alexandre went straight to tending a fire in the fireplace. She dumped out the putrid stew that had been left behind in the slop bucket. She then pulled out a water bucket from her reserve and began cleansing the whole place. “We need a good clean place to rest and the table needs to be clear. Looks like someone made quite the mess,” looking up at Bradford she smiled. He shuffled his feet a bit and jumped in to help. Bradford had left so quickly last time he didn’t even clean up his mess. “I was attempting to make your potion. I couldn’t remember the portions for the herbs so I made them in all possible ways. I can go to the enchanted garden and get them replenished here.” “That we will both do. I have to teach you what they are. Then you will know which to

Bloodchild returned to his villa enraged. Walking through the threshold he threw his cloak, gloves and cane at the wall. His Butler came quickly retrieving the items. As he shed his layers down to his dress shirt and slacks, the butler ran around grabbing them all and carrying them neatly. “Where is my wife?” The Butler stopped and replied, “She’s in the library still. She’s hardly left it since you went to the Castle. Sir, I can report she has found some encouraging news. Shall I take you to her?” “That would be ideal. I require some libations, Richard. I’ll escort myself to the library actually.” Bloodchild replied. He would actually like to see her working. He loved how the candlelight danced off her beautiful red hair and how intently she read as she traced her finger along the sentences. Using his dark abilities he silently moved into the corner behind a bookshelf sticking out with stacks of books on it. Danessa peering over the words, spoke slightly with her whisper, “An

Lycans. You’ve heard of werewolves, people who turn to wolves when the moon is full. They are larger than people and strong like freight trains at a full gallop. Lycans are three times larger than the biggest werewolf. They were also many times stronger than their counterparts. The most powerful Lycan is Alpha Xander. He comes from a long line of Alphas who ruled well and with brute strength. The great Pack of the Blue Mountains was known as Blood Moon Mountain Pack. They were the head of all Lycan packs. They were the strongest of them, the more intelligent and the hardest fighters. Even the females were above and beyond males in other packs. Alpha was the mightiest among them all. The mere mention of his name inspired fear and respect. His Mate, Luna Avery, was also a pure blood alpha from another pack. Alpha’s pack held the purest of all Lycans and thus were the most powerful and unpredictable. He and his Luna readied their Clan for war.Beta Chance knelt before his mighty and

A month had passed and Bastion and Alexandre had spent every possible moment teaching their respective child the gifts and spells they needed to be as prepared as they could be. The council had convened and required the tests to be administered. “It’s okay, Papa. You taught me so much in such a short time. I love you. Let me go in first. I’m ready.” Bastion nodded to his daughter and looked to his wife. “I believe in her. Besides, we can listen.” She winked at her husband. She missed him. “Princess? Would you like to begin?” The Elder of the committee asked her. “Yes, Elder, I am.” He spoke a spell and the door opened to her. “Only you, Princess. No one can assist you so we must remain out here. Be steadfast and trust in yourself. You’re more than capable.” Raven nodded and lightly bowed to him. She went inside and the door closed behind her. “She’s a very special person for us, Your graces. Thank you for making it so.” He bowed and took his seat on the bench outside the door. “W
Last Updated : 2024-01-14The Bitten and the Born Settling into their Positions
The royal family went down to the kitchen and found the people scurrying to prepare a feast for them. They kept meat roasting and vegetables ready for Raven and her mama pretty much all hours of the day. If they weren’t there, they would slow cook stew over the fire. The night people would keep it stirred and going. Tonight, the castle was absolutely buzzing with the good news, the Royal children were inducted officially into the Holy Clan and leaders. Their magic and knowledge proved to be a great advantage for the Holy Clan. The people felt gratitude to them for making sure they were going to stay safe and well taken care of. “Celeste! It’s good to see you! Emiline is doing so well. I hope you are happy with her progress.” Raven told her newest friend. “I’m pleased with both of you, Mum. The progress Emiline tells me about is befitting of a future Queen. We are both very excited.” “That makes me very happy to hear.” Bastion smiled beaming with pride. “I’ve always tried to keep

The Bitten and the Born Black Sea
Margaret went up to the deck to think more clearly however that was not to be. Vlad himself rarely allowed anyone to witness him in his full moon glory. What a sight she was to behold. Margaret’s long ringlets danced in the wind as the moon flashed off of her glass like eyes. Marble skin seemed to allow light to pass through it. Her dress moved and swayed with each gust of wind. The sailors whispered amongst themselves, “Tis mighty bad luv to have a woman aboard.” “That’s not the worst thing aboard, men. You’d better mind your tongues for no whispered thing is hidden here.” The captain scolded the men and tipped his hat to the Lady. Margaret watched as the Captain was keen on what she was. His biggest worry was how many of them would make port before the destination had been reached. Margaret moved past piles of ropes and sails hoisted holding the wind to move them along quickly. She imagined she could blow into them to hasten their journey. Margaret walked over to the edge of the
The Bitten and the Born Tally Ho
Margaret felt the waves sloshing back and forth as she laid in her dark space. Waves sounded like thunder as she imagined what this marriage was to provide to her life. Her mind riddled with memories of Bradford and her new founded family. Her father traded her. Margaret felt a pain deep inside her soul. “How could he do this to me?” Tiny streams of bloody tears began to fall from her eyes like waterfalls. Suddenly her sleeping place wasn’t hers alone. She tensed up as the profound strength of her paramour exposed his intentions to her. Reaching down and touching her cheek, he spoke, “I have many wives. They will be like sisters to you. The bond you will feel with them will be similar to the blood bond you will feel with me now.” “Vlad Tepes was my name. Most call me by some other formidable names. I am the Walachian Prince. My enemies know no mercy. I am not as old as some of the creatures you know. I am the father of all our kind. It’s been hundreds of years longer than I’ve al
The Bitten and the Born The Priestess and the Pups
Moon Goddess Priestess knew that she would have to get back to the party. Taking this deal meant she would forever have the herbs that she needed to protect her Pack. She would be able to fend off illness and magical attacks. The benefits of this were endless and she had prayed to the Moon Goddess many times about this. It was only now that Raven was at full strength that she worried regular herbs would not be enough to protect her. The Alpha King would likely rip anyone to shreds that contribute to Raven’s death or illness. And pups! Who knows what kind of trials a hybrid high born pure line would come. “I am coming. Meet me in the clearing. I bring good tidings” The Priestess linked to Beta Chance. She turned and grabbed the tea she had made to make Raven’s body open to pregnancy. She would bathe her in these tea leaves and oils anointed for their union. While she put her vials into her robe she felt Prince Vlad’s vial. Pulling it out she unlocked a box inside of the cupboard.
The Bitten and the Born Margaret in the Middle
“Stop struggling. I am much older than you. I wish to take you back to your father. After, of course, you agree to marry me and leave this place. I need you in my world.” The sinister raspy voice ordered Margaret. “You definitely have a way of catching a lady’s eye. How could you just abduct me and then demand my hand. This is improper!” She growled back. “This is the only way I could get you back in time to make sail before the sun rises. We have to go before your father and confirm this union.” The mans raspy voice sent chills down her spine. “Make sail? You have got to be kidding. I’m not leaving home. I am a part of a powerful family and they will not simply go on without at least looking for me.” Margaret warned. “Believe me, I have accounted for that. Now, stop struggling. We have a wedding to attend…Ours.” He pulled her shoulders along with such speed and might, even Margaret had some difficulty keeping pace with him. A strong knock on her father’s door led to the sou
The Bitten and the Born Return of the King and Queen
As Alpha King Sebastian and Queen Luna Raven returned to their robes they walked naked and hand and hand up to the courtyard. Alpha King stood in front of his Queen Luna and picked up her robe. She turned her back to the attendees who were whistling and cheering for them. “I didn’t realize they would all hear us.” She blushed and he placed her robe onto her shoulders. She tied the strings to keep it closed and Alpha Xander picked up the Alpha King’s robe and placed it on his shoulders. He slid his hands into the robe and Raven turned around and tied his strings. “Shall we go and put on our party clothes, my love?” Raven asked. “Yes, my love, we shall. Alpha Xander has our items laid out in the Alpha den. Let us go there as the guests go begin the party.” Alpha Xander spoke to the guests, “All right, all right. Let us go to prepare the way for the newlyweds to be received. Luna Avery will take them to prepare and we will all go and get the party started. Also…the first one to get the
The Bitten and the Born The Mating Ceremony
Alpha King Sebastian and Queen Raven sat at the wedding table and looked across the hall at all of the territories that had come together. Many prior to this day hadn’t been in the same room together for far too long. This was the hope of this union, that all of them could be united under one banner and be a community they could all trade and grow with. They wanted the days of neighboring packs fighting and the war between the Bitten and the Lycans to be ended. Alpha King looked at his beloved Mate sitting beside him and heard her thoughts, “Yes, my love, I too, think it is time for us to consummate this union. Would you be ready to start the run?” Queen Raven smirked and teased, “I thought you’d never ask.” She stood and kissed his smidge on his forehead and took her leave to the entrance of the courtyard that led into the enchanted forrest. Alpha King stood once again and address the wedding reception guests, “The time for the Mating Ceremony has come. We leave now to join as o
The Bitten and the Born The Wedding of the Realm
Queen Raven and Alpha King Sebastian took their places in front of the guests of the realm. The Moon Goddess Priestess stood at the center of them looking over the entire wedding attendees. She felt something cold in her stomach. Her eyes scanned the guests and looked towards the shadows in the back. Something was amiss, but it would have to wait. This union had to be completed for all to see and nothing could stop it. “I have performed the sacred union of the two souls in the enchanted pool of ancestors. Upon their heads adorns the ancient wedding crowns that bound many Kings and Queens before these times. They have taken their vows wholeheartedly, as is evident in their mating stains. Now they will take their wedding vows here for all of you to see.” She turned to the Alpha King and spoke, “To whom do you give yourself to today, Alpha King Sebastian?” He looked into his beloved’s eyes and felt warmed emanating from them. “I give myself to Raven the hybrid Queen all my years and a
The Bitten and the Born Awaken my sweet
Ashley crept into the Alpha den to check on Margaret. She has been so patient with her. Lycans require so much rest and replenishment to grow pups. The Bitten can’t understand this as they can’t procreate. The confusion with her kind of this mating must be hard for her to translate to the new world that she is existing in. Ashley felt a tingle of pain for the amount of callous emotion she has shown this woman. Her thoughts spanned to a place where she once felt like she didn’t have a mate. Not a true mate. Over and over she had remembered her thoughts left her to believe that she had to become something that didn’t need love to survive. There’s no understanding that now that she has a future to look at; there is no way that she can just abandon the woman who she had seen to help her beloved through his trials and tribulations to come to be the Mate that she has come to know today. Watching her delicate figure sleep, she understood that this creature didn’t ask for the life that she
The Bitten and the Born Not so easy,huh
The four of the Alpha King’s pack that had entered the territory were now edging around the pack houses and looking for any obvious tales of where the hidden den could be. Avery Luna’s scent was everywhere here. She was the one who trained their own warriors right here in the courtyard. Kona looked around and saw an area just past these houses in the edge of the forest. She tip toed back to that area and led them to the opening in the ground. “It’s a tunnel. It’s got to be the right place. Stay close and keep your senses about you.” Ducking down into the tunnel, they were unaware that the Alpha Xander had trips that let him know when someone entered his tunnels. Alpha Xander’s ears perked up and he mind linked to Luna Avery, “Beloved, are you back? I don’t smell you but someone just entered our secret tunnels. I’m going to check this out.” He spoke to Beta Chance, “Go to the tunnels. Someone is in them.”“Alpha,” as he bowed he ran out the side. Beta had a direct shot to the entra
