Darkness fell away as green peered behind her eyelids. Looking out into the room she felt the sleep wearing off. Black long flowing curls lifted off of her blanket as she rose. The satin gown she wore fell to the floor as she stood and walked over to the mirror. The great ornate span of glass was surrounded with a carved wooden frame. “Tell me today, my friends. What shall become of our guests?” The mirror held a glow that spiraled into a cloudy picture of Raven glowing and levitating into the air. Bloodchild and Danessa were writhing in pain. They had blood gushing out of their eyes, noses and mouths. “Please, stop! I’m begging you for our lives.” Her friend Danessa pled. The foggy mirror cleared and she could now only see her reflection. “It’s time to wake them. We must see what they are doing.” Anika straightened her gown and put on her robe. Sipping her delicate feet into her slippers she went and opened her door. Her hand maiden awaited outside her room for instruction. “Go a
“Gentlemen…gentlemen. And Elder Lady. We are here to raise arms against the Holy Clan who have allowed an abomination to rise to power. Two in fact! My last intel provided that Prince Bradford was in Lycan form fighting song side his bride.” One of Anika”s attendants spoke up. “The Coming Sun has risen. You all know what that means for our kind! We will walk in the light of day! How could we fight her!” The Elder Lady spoke against him. “I have a duty to our kind to protect them. Imagine when the sleep comes…it doesn’t! Instead we conduct ourselves whenever we like. The productivity alone is worth this imagined betrayal.” “How can you speak such things? We cannot know what the consequence of that will be. You want to protect our kind then we take out the brat team out of the race!” Another kinsman exclaimed. Agitated, the Elder Lady spoke against him, “The last time I checked I was the only one leading this Clan. What I decide will be final. Anyone who wishes to fight against this
Mr Weldon led the troops towards the Lycan territory. “Let us make this a memorable wedding for them indeed! They have fantastic hearing but we can have a light step and swift movements. Move in quickly and deadly. Then move back into the cover of the trees. Continue this pattern until they’re all dead.” As they get closer and closer they can see in the distance the ceremony had begun. There was an arch of branches with flowers woven into it. There were satin sashes all around the ceremony. The chairs, the stands, flowers and the entire area was surrounded with them. The attendees were still as death listening intently to the minister as he spoke the Lycan blessing over the newly weds. “Under the moon, under the sun. Over the land and under the sea. You will love each other and be able to link. No one can sever your bond with the exception of the two of you…” Anika and Danessa sprung forward to start the battle. Neither of them could abide the couple finding marital bliss. Imagine
Raven followed the leaders back into the pack house. Alpha led next to Luna, her parents next, then her alone. After her, Bradford and Ashley. They entered the cloak room and the Lycans retrieved coverings for their human bodies. Raven listened to everything. She could hear the birds hinting to day. She could smell the blood and the dew on the grass. Her skin felt cold now and she was no longer human. She could feel the flowing of the source energy all through her body. Raven’s head was swimming and she disassociated from the group and allowed herself to be pulled out of her skin to another place, another dimension. Her ears filled with a soothing warm voice, “It is so wonderful to finally meet you.” She turned towards a woman’s voice and a shadow walked towards her in a blaze of light. As she came closer she was dressed in a white leather ceremony dress. On the front, designed beadwork resembled a silver haired Lycan in front of a soft blue moon. Her long silver beautiful hair fell
Raven sent word to all corners of the kingdom. That next evening, the realm was teeming with leaders and banners from all over. Most notably the Alpha King was present. The royals watched from their box behind the drapes upstairs. Alexandre peeked and watched who entered. “Raven, the Alpha King just arrived. Let’s get you ready.” Raven took a deep breath and could smell the cloves, cinnamon and sage. Her eyes started brightly shining. She went with her mother to their suite and prepared. Alexandre dressed Raven in her classic white and gold dress. The fabric was so sheer you could see the shape of her breasts with her perky nipples. Her long hair was laced with feathers and pearls. Her makeup was Smokey and glam. Her deep red lips framed her gentle face. All that was human had slipped from her and the power from her ancestral grandmother filled her in its place. Alexandre stepped back and looked upon her only daughter. What a sight to behold. Her features now seemed chiseled. The o
Sebastian kneeled before Raven. All of the Lycans gasped as they saw their Alpha King bow to Raven. Sebastian, lowered his head as Urich howled. The excitement could no longer be contained. Raven stepped forward and kneeled before the Alpha King. She delicately placed her two forefingers under his chin and lifted his head until they met eyes. “Alpha King Sebastian, please. You are Royal as well and should not bow to me.” Alpha stood and towered above her delicate graceful body. He felt his loins throb and could hear Urich begging to unleash himself onto his Mate. “My Coming Sun. My beautiful ruler. My Moon Goddess has spoken. You are my Mate. If you will accept me, I take you as my Mate here, now, in front of all of this new realm. Will you accept me?” Sebastian’s heart pounded slowly. He felt like it would protrude through this chest. “She will accept us?! Right?” Urich whined to Sebastian. Raven felt the closest to happy she would be able to feel without her human part. Happy was
Alpha King spoke to Alpha Xander as they monitored the forest. “Tell me about her. How does she treat others?” Xander smirked as he knew his King had now been ignited with passion. He thought of his own Luna. He decided to tell his King the truth. He would love her. “My King, Raven is the most direct, honest, caring, intelligent, powerful and dedicated being I have ever come across. When she came to our territory we had only just heard from her father. Elder Lord Bastion proved to be the opposite of everything we had heard. His prowess on the battlefield is, respectfully, unmatched. Yet, he approached us with respect and dignity. Not only that, but he trusted us with his daughter. After all of the years she was missing, he brought her to what could have been an unwelcome reception.” “And how did you receive them?” Alpha King felt Urich getting angry at even the thought his kind had disrespected Raven. “My Beta was a little protective but I assured him Elder Lord had come to talk o
Raven and Sebastian walked together slower. Alpha King’s chest pounded. Urich whined to be let out. He wanted to mate her. He wanted to taste her. His desires were so distracting Raven spoke up, “Not until after the ceremony. I have never…been deflowered and I want the first time to be to my husband.” Alpha King blushed. He reached up and scratched the hack of his ear, “My Goddess, we mean no disrespect. We are so pleased to have a blessed Mate. We lost ours long ago and I was sure I would never love anyone ever again. To look upon your grace, beauty, intellect and power is to see a walking Goddess. Please excuse our excitement. We are but happy fiancé to you.” Sebastian took her hand and stood in front of her. With his other hand he pulled her body close to his and lifted her up against his chest. Looking deeply into her eyes he felt love so strong he could just pull her into his chest to make one being if he could. Sensing his longing she reached up and cradled his face in her ha
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
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
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.
“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
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
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
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
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 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
