The 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

Danessa and Lucas sat at the Bloodchild villa and discussed the findings with their supporters. Gathered around the table were noblemen and women, elders who supported the cause and other members of the Holy Clan. Candlelight brought light to their faces as the flames danced on their wicks. The room was tense with civil war talk. “We don’t want to cause any major damage to the realm. We can keep this to a small militia of soldiers that can abduct Raven and keep her hidden until after the eclipse passes,” Mr Banderman spoke. “We will take her by any means necessary and damned be the consequences. This isn’t a time to roll over. We have to take back this realm before someone else decides to make changes none of us will benefit from.” Bloodchild spoke up. His frustration was only increased by hearing Raven and Bradford not only passed the trials but did so flawlessly. “She can’t be the ruler. We won’t recognize her power. We are ruled by the males. Not the females. It is blasphemy t

“Alpha, we have received a letter stamped with the wax seal of Elder Lord Bastion.” Beta Chance presented. “Thank you Beta.” Inside it read, “Greetings Alpha Xander of the Blood Moon Mountain Pack. I extend a hand of reverence and respect in requesting an audience with you. As you well have heard, I am preparing my daughter Raven to ascend to the throne. Your pack in particular is exactly the kind of strength we want to show. I wish to discuss this matter further. I will venture to your land with her and expect you will respectfully receive us. We do not come with talks of war. We come with ideas to better our relationship. I will leave shortly after this letter is sent to you. Please prepare. Best regards, Elder Lord Bastion of the Holy Clan.” “Interesting,” Alpha rubbed his chin. “Beta, make sure the guest quarters in the Alpha house are prepared. Please also prepare the Alpha no and Luna suites. While they are here, they will be under my ever watchful eyes.” “Yes, Alpha.” Beta C

The dining hall was large and had room for the entire pack to dine. There were three long wooden tables and chairs surrounding them. At the head of the tables was a long table perpendicular to the pack tables. This was the Alpha Table. Only his Luna and other chosen guests are there. Tonight, Alpha honored his guests by seating them with he and his mate. The pack was gathered and they entered the hall. They passed the pack on their left and as they passed them each member bowed their heads. Behind them came Elder Lord Bastion. He scanned the room and could see so many Lycans surrounding him. He felt a shiver from a memory of war. He knew the Lycans were still having some issues with some of the clans. He wondered what their reaction to this alliance would be. He would need their help to enforce it. Behind him was Raven. She was dressed in a cotton dress with a leather corset. Her boots were laced up to her knees. She wore her hair down and wore several braids she had woven protec

Bradford and Margaret sat talking at her father’s house for a bit. They decided they would keep her safe and she would not go question the people. Bradford had made enough friends among them he knew who to go to. Mr. Bronson was fairly versed in the dealings with the Bitten but he was fairly cut off. Instead he decided to ask Celeste to keep him updated about any details the maids had. “Mar, Mr Lavenos is correct. It’s safer for you here. I’m not sure what the guilde is planning but it’s going to be a fight. I’m going to go back to Mother and we will address the military leaders. Once I know who I can trust and who needs to be ousted, we can take action.” “I’m not very good at waiting around for the men to handle things. I’m still going to keep an ear open around the village. I will be safe there. Raven doesn’t go to the village so I won’t be in danger of her adversaries.” Margaret told him. “Be safe and wary. We don’t know how many of them support the guilde and their plans. I’m

Ruby met with Danessa as planned to go see the seamstress. Coming up to the Bloodchild Villa, she adored their house and loved the way it smelled beautiful. The door opened and Danessa came out. “Off we go! The arrangement has been struck. She has what we need.” Danessa wrapped her shawl around her torso and headed out. Together they walked back up to the market in the realm. They walked to the storefront of their seamstress and straight to the lady. Danessa addressed her, “Hello again, dearest. I’ve come for my dress and the other requirement I requested.” “Hello and welcome. Is this her?” The seamstress looked over her specs and measured up Ruby. The decided that she wasn’t going to be difficult to make a dress for. “Hello, I’m Cassie. I made you look classy!” She took a walk around Ruby and checked her measurements with her measuring tape. “No, she is the one making the purchase, silly! Now let’s see her dress.” Danessa cooed. Cassie pulled the dress out of the box and fluff

Bradford was preparing to gear up and talk to everyone. He spent a bit of time with his parents and sister in order to take the trials and discern what Raven’s role and response to her discovery of what her full power would look like. He couldn’t understand why he wasn’t tested harder. Why didn’t the council adjust the trials for him they way they did her? Meanwhile Mr Lavenos looked feverishly for his daughter while he attempted to look calm and gathered. Going to the market he passed the tables full of food, jars, wine, jewelry, fabrics and weapons. He walked all over trying to keep inconspicuous. Then he heard them talking, “I’m not sure what’s going on here lately, but something is off. I’ve heard whispers around the castle about unease with the new leaders.” One lady at the market spoke. Another shushed her, “They can hear remarkably. You can’t speak this. Now come on and quiet your curiosity before you disappear.” The two ladies went ahead. Mr Lavenos felt uneasy. “Even the peo
Last Updated : 2024-01-28The Bitten and the Born Hidden Places
Cassie worried that keeping this transaction from her best friend would end in some kind of betrayal. Celeste had always kept her in the loop but these last few weeks have been strange in the realm. Danessa had asked for many dresses to be made in the past. This time she came asking for a potion to put someone to sleep for a time. Potions were simple to get enough but she worried this was about Princess Raven and Prince Bradford. Cassie decided she didn’t want to get Celeste involved in anything that could put her or Emiline into trouble. She decided mums the word and that was that. Mr Banderman spoke to Elder Bloodchild, “I have to space ready. It is sealed by magic and can only be opened from the outside by magic. Magic is blocked from the occupants inside. We will have complete isolation and it’s deep enough the moon can’t reach her.” “Very good. When can I bring them to it?” He asked. “It’s already waiting. I have our team assembled as well.” He told Bloodchild. “General

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
