[Reggie]
When I entered the living room, I saw the Vasili stand and smile at me. He walked over and patted my shoulder in a friendly way. I noticed how he was looking at my body. Maybe I was wrong about the dress being fine.
“Did you sleep well?” He asked, distractedly.
“Yes, thank you. I can’t remember the last time I got to sleep in a bed. And the soaps in the bathroom were lovely.” I smiled.
“Good to hear. It’s nice to see you all cleaned up and smelling better. If Veles hadn’t told me you were a concubus, I wouldn’t have known from the scent.” He laughed. “Did Ford feed you?”
“He offered, but I don’t think feeding me warrants a king. I’ll be fine with whatever Gail can find for me.” I said, ducking my head.
“We talked to Serena and Landry. They think you do need to feed on powerful people. All of the rulers are available to you, after Aria finishes healing from having the baby. We have a selection of alphas, both male and female, as well. We should see about feeding you before lunch. Oh! Let me introduce you to my mates. This is Poppy and this is Drayce.” He told me.
I shook their hands as they approached. Drayce’s golden eyes were on my hips. Poppy watched how the Vasili and Drayce were looking at me. She seemed jealous. She was gorgeous as hell, so I didn’t know why, but the attention they were giving me was making her angry.
“Maybe we should look at men’s clothes for you. We don’t have many things in your… size.” Poppy made a motion with her hands.
“Poppy. Don’t be rude. That dress fits fine.” A girl with dark hair, blue eyes, and an amazing figure, scolded as she came in from the kitchen. “I’m Serena, the Luna of the Helvegr.”
“Reggie. The fat demon.” I snickered.
“Conric says you aren’t allowed to call yourself fat. He says you’re beautifully plump.” Ford said with a slight blush. “He would also prefer if you called him by his name.”
“Oh. I didn’t know it. Sorry.” I winked.
“Let me check your temperature, Reggie. We have to keep an eye on your blood sickness.” Serena said as she came up and put her hand on my head. “You haven’t fed. You need to. Your fever is going to spike if you don’t. Who’s up for it?”
“I’ll do it.” Drayce smiled.
He took my hand and started guiding me back out of the living room. I was a little shocked. He was tall with green-gold hair, and a handsome, jock next door sort of smile. I didn’t think he would want someone like me.
“I offered first, I should feed her.” Ford insisted.
They looked at each other over my head. I had no idea what was going on. I hadn’t known either of them long enough for them to fight over me. I was super confused.
“It’s the pheromone. As your temperature goes up, you’ll start exuding a stronger pheromone. It’s your body trying to heal itself by drawing in partners.” Serena explained.
That was a relief to me as much as to anyone. I didn’t want to cause problems in the movement. Everyone needed to be safe and healthy.
“I’ll take care of this one. You have the next.” Drayce grinned, pulled me out of the room, and down the hall to the Vasili’s suite.

[Drayce]
I pulled Reggie into the room and closed the door behind us. I was a little excited. Normally, I liked the lithe, statuesque women like Poppy. The pheromone was making me think of all the ways I wanted to touch the curvy little concubus.
“Is there a way you like to start?” I asked.
Poppy told me a lot of demons liked to start feedings a certain way that was different from a romantic interaction. Some used traditional moves to flavor the interaction to their taste in desire. I wanted to make sure it was a good feeding for her.
“I… don’t really know. To be honest, I had an incident a while ago and I don’t remember a lot. So, I’m kinda nervous. We can do whatever you’d like.” She said softly.
“What kind of incident?” I asked with concern.
“I can tell everyone later. Let’s just get this feeding out of the way.” Reggie sighed.
She had a point. I moved closer and traced a finger along her exposed collarbone. I slipped the straps of the dress off her shoulders and worked to slide it over her curves and to the floor. She wasn’t wearing anything under it. I shouldn’t have been surprised, we rarely stocked underclothes.
Reggie pulled at the bottom of my t-shirt and I bent down so she could pull it off. She ran her small hands over the bulges of my pecs, over my abs, and started unbuckling my belt. I thrilled at her touch. It was never like this with Poppy, not even the first time.
Once I was naked, Reggie stared. I was a little embarrassed. All of my hair was green and gold. Anders loved it. Poppy said she did, too. It had become less bothersome since it changed, but I missed my old hair color.
She nibbled her lip and scanned over my body before coming to a decision. Kneeling before me, she stroked my length with one hand while the other explored the textured pouch beneath. Her hands were soft and her skin was velvety in a way I’d never felt before.
“Oh, goddess, Reggie. Your hands are so soft.” I groaned.
She smiled and took me into her mouth, continuing to stroke and manipulate me. I laced my hands into her silky hair as she teased at me with her tongue and teeth. Her eyes closed as she worked her mouth on me. It felt amazing.
“Would you take me bent over that chair?” She asked, pulling back.
“Yes, anything you want, sweetheart.” I replied.
I helped her stand and took her to the low-backed chair she’d indicated. I moved behind her as she braced herself against the seat of the chair. I tapped myself against her clit and rubbed my tip along the damp folds presented to me. With careful pressure, I continued the pattern of rubbing my head against her clit, then returning to get it wet again until she was crying out for me.
With a groan, I pushed into her tight, hot opening. I paused to let myself adjust. She panted and moaned, moving her hips around. I smacked her butt.
“Hold still.” I commanded. “We start when I say so.”
She whimpered and nodded. I was never this dominant before, never hit anyone when being intimate. I loved the sound and feeling of it.
When I’d gotten myself under control, I started shoving in and out while gripping her hips tightly. I’d never felt the urge to be so rough with anyone, but she was squealing and squeaking her approval. I liked the sounds she made whenever I delivered a slap to her plump bottom.
I could feel myself getting close. The way her body squeezed mine was powerful, like it needed me and wouldn’t let go until it got what it wanted. My body responded by pounding harder into her, pushing through the grasping muscles of her orgasms as her legs shook against the back of the chair.
I pulled out, grabbed her, and jerked her onto the floor facing me. Reggie only had a few moments to understand what was happening before I started tapping my tip against her lips, pushing in as soon as she began opening her mouth. I wrapped my hands in her hair and used it to instruct her rhythm while I shoved myself down her throat.
Reggie gagged briefly before finding a breathing pattern that worked and relaxing her throat to take me. She reached around and sunk her fingernails into my butt, moaning around the thick meat in her throat as I brutally hammered it.
I tensed. The vibration of her moans pushed me over the edge and I came in a flood. It seemed never-ending as I held myself firmly in her, forcing every drop out. I unwound my hands from her hair and pulled back, panting.
That was amazing…. What had I done?
Dropping to my knees, I pulled her into my arms and held her tight. Nothing had prepared me for the urges and feelings that had come out while I was in her. Now, I was a little ashamed of what I’d done.
“Are you okay, Reggie? Did I hurt you?” I asked, gently.
“Please, don’t worry. I liked it. Thank you.” She whispered as she kissed my neck. “Are you okay, though?”
“I don’t know what came over me. I’ve never done that before.” I sighed.
“It’s probably the pheromone. Please, don’t be upset. Let’s get dressed and eat lunch. You’ll feel better.” Reggie pushed herself out of my hold and went to put on her dress.
I followed her, dressing and adjusting myself in silence. Reggie saw the concerned look on my face. I couldn’t help it. That wasn’t me just then. I froze as she wrapped her arms around my waist and hugged me.
“That was an amazing feeding, Drayce. I’m not hurt, or scared, or upset. I understand if you’re feeling any of those. That may have been an underlying urge. Some little thing you’ve thought of from time to time. Something that made you feel weird when you did think of it. No one has to know. Okay?” She told me, rocking me a little as we stood in the room.
“Thank you. I’ll be fine. Just have to process. Your mouth is incredible. I’d like to feed you again sometime, if it’s okay.” I replied.
“I’d like that. Come on. I’m starving in the conventional way as well.” She giggled.
We made our way to the dining room. And I went to sit with Anders. I couldn’t really look at Reggie. I knew I’d get over it, but it would take a little while.
[Serena]I got out of my chair and put my hand to Reggie’s forehead. She didn’t feel warm anymore. I smiled and guided her to the empty chair beside Ford.Reggie sat down gingerly. It would appear Drayce hadn’t held back much when he fed her. She smiled a little and I saw Drayce blush out of the corner of my eye. I was going to have to get him to dish. Rao said I could feed her too, as long as he was there, and I wanted to know what I was in for.“Your fever is down. Now, you need to tell someone if you start feeling flush. We’ll make sure someone can feed you every time it rises. Don’t be shy about it. Rao is even up for helping, since succubae aren’t as possessive as shifters.” I told her, patting Reggie on the shoulder
[Winston]We listened until she was down the stairs. Anders called Landry out of Aria’s room and Drayce called in a couple of Glimmer Dragons from one of the other rooms. He’d had them on standby.Glimmer Dragons were an all-female species. They had healing magic and all of the ones in the movement had been through training on the different species. The ones with us, Audrey and Marnie, were specifically trained in demon physiology.Dragons didn’t have alphas since they were all strong and dominant. Audrey had volunteered to feed Reggie. It would help a lot toward getting her better.When all the women arrived, Anders turned to Ford. We
[Winston]Twenty minutes later, everyone was gathered in the upstairs sitting room. Audrey was still in the room with Reggie. She told Drayce the fever hadn’t spiked yet.Ford brought me up. I knew I looked more ragged than I’d been when Ford left me. I had another vision after he left the room… it was terrible. Worse than the first one.“So far, no one knows a demon matching Reggie’s description. Some of the older demons said avians were believed to be extinct. She’s could be the last one in the world.” Anders said.“None of the wolves recognized her description, either.” Rao reported.“Landry&rsquo
[Ford]Dinner was served at six because Serena wanted to make sure Reggie wasn’t going too long between meals. She said feeding on flesh tended to make demons hungrier for things to chew. I was sitting at the counter and Audrey was helping with the meal.She came stumbling out of the room a couple hours ago and didn’t want to go back. She said Reggie was insatiable and Audrey couldn’t handle anymore. She’d called Marnie to come take over and it still took another hour until Reggie was sated. They decided she would need two powerful females until Aria was able to feed her. “Ford, would you go get Reggie for dinner? I don’t think she’ll come out for anyone but you right now.” Se
[Reggie]I focused on the room. Ford was looking at me strangely. I realized I’d just been sitting there, making faces.“Sorry, she got chatty.” I laughed.“You can talk to her?” Ford asked.“Sure. You can talk to Conric. I can talk to Reika.” I smiled.“Most shifters can’t talk to their animal. Maybe it’s because of how you got her.” He wondered.“What do you mean?” I asked.“Most wolves are an animalisti
[Reggie]The fever broke after four days. I was relieved when Marnie told me I could switch to daily feedings. I would need to change to a male and female partner for each feeding, but it meant I could participate in training as long as I stayed in human form.That limited my options to one of the shifter training groups or the human training group. I picked the humans. It was a good starting point after not fighting in my human form for so long. I dressed in yoga pants and a tight exercise top. Excited about being able to get out my physical aggression.At breakfast, I was allowed to serve myself instead of having Ford serve me portions the same size as his. I preferred eating after, but training sessions were several hours long. I knew I’d need something.
[Reggie]When the second fight started, Gavin turned to me. He had some mischief in his eye and a little smirk. I wondered what was going on in his head.“Want to make this interesting?” Gavin asked.“What do you have in mind?”“If I win the match, you give me a kiss.”“And if I win?” I inquired.“I’ll feed you.” He grinned.“Wait, so if you win you get a kiss and if you lose you get sex? Where exactly is my prize?” I scoffed.
[Reggie]An hour later, I woke up. Dennis had been watching over me as I healed. He was a good man and I thought he would fit the parameters of one of my ingredients perfectly.I groaned and reached for the cup of water on the stand next to the cot I was laying on. Taking a big drink, I felt my throat soothe. I pulled the blanket off and swung my legs over the edge of the cot.“Ready for lunch?” I asked.“I didn’t realize I was invited.” Dennis chuckled.“You saved me twice, I think the least I can do is lunch.” I smiled.
[Heather]I was a little surprised when I got an invitation to go to the private tenth anniversary celebration of the end of the Helvegr War. In the end, it had been a three-day fight between the resistance and the False Elites. There had been some coverage on the second and third day, once we found out where the battle was being fought.It had been a shock to the world when Indira and Madison Coto were seen in footage. They’d later explained that a massive spell had brought both sisters back to life, one that was nearly impossible to work. Scientists had asked to meet with them, but both sisters declined citing their history with the camps as why they weren’t comfortable.In the years after the fight, humans had grown more accepting of supernaturals. They lived just like we did, had families like we did, and only wanted the same things we did. All of the distress in the different communities died down after a while.I was the main media conta
“You thought you could distract me? What a waste of an opening to use it on your precious mate, instead of on getting away or attacking me.” Devere snarled.“It’s not a waste if the person I love lives. You were never going to get what you wanted because you’re self-involved and self-interested. How disappointed must your sire have been to have created such a useless vampire. Your ambition is lacking talent and follow through. You don’t take risks.” I snorted as I flipped him over me.I rolled his body and locked his arm behind him. My foot was in the middle of his back.“This is a great position from this side.” I laughed.He started calling me names. In the end, he’d weakened himself. No one was really eager to feed a vampire. The blood he fed on was weak from food rationing, lack of sunlight, and general poor health that comes with living underground for so long.Pulling as hard as I co
We soon had everyone set. It was about four in the afternoon, that would give us three hours until the sun started setting, and another hour after until any vampires made their way out. It would work in our favor.There were several advantages to attacking so early in the day. The first was the lack of vampires, the second was that the enemy wouldn’t expect us since they were all on the vampires’ schedule and slept during the day. Our demons were all recently fed and theirs were on rationed energy because of a lack of partners.If everyone was out fighting, the vampires wouldn’t have a chance to feed before joining which would make them weaker. We didn’t need a fair fight. The only advantage we ever gave them was letting them know when the fight would happen. If they chose not to be ready for it, that was their problem.I was dressed in traditional demon garb and standing next to my nude mate as our witches stepped forward. Ford shifted t
It was the day after my birthday. For the second year in a row, I was preparing for a battle. This time, I knew what I was truly up against and the fight ahead of me. It wasn’t a last minute preparation, but one a year in the making.The feeling in the compound was a mix of excitement and fear. A lot of the omega level and non-dominant shifters elected to stay and protect the families, children, and weaker species that couldn’t join the fight. No one faulted them for it.We dominant members were made for this. Battle was in our blood. The demons were all chomping at the bit to get out there and do some damage.I saw Garrett and Celia in the gathering area where people were saying goodbye to their loved ones. Tony and Gail were holding each other tightly. I knew she wasn’t going, even being a full demon, Gail was not a fighter.Rena was kissing Rao and Indie goodbye. They each put a hand on her slightly bulging belly. Dennis gave her a bi
[Madison]I was curled in Ford’s arms when I heard shouting from the living room. Aria and Jeremiah were having a disagreement. They had been for a few days.Though both tried to get me involved, I refused. He wanted her to stay here with Val and Serena instead of fighting. Aria wanted to be in the battle with us, supporting as much as she could, even though she wasn’t much of a fighter.That was his main argument. She never excelled in the fighting strategies that were being taught to demons. In the special classes that Indie was running, she was falling behind.My Aria may be a strong woman and a fighter of sorts, just not the kind that you look to in battle. I knew she would be a lot of help with her abilities as a Eulalia and a siren. I wasn’t going with one side or the other.If I did that, Ford would start trying to get me to stay behind as well. He would site the fact that the vampire already killed me once. T
[Serena]Rao, Indie, and Dennis came with me to see the glimmer dragons for a check up on the baby. Everyone was excited. They wanted to hear the heartbeat.Because I was mixed siren and demon, it was assumed that my pregnancy would be as long as Aria’s had been. We wouldn’t be able to tell until it was safe for us to leave and see a doctor with an ultrasound machine. I knew it was soon.The clinic was set up in the old pack clinic, but we had a field clinic that was used for training. Neither one was fully equipped, but this was better for taking care of people in a set up that they were familiar with.We all waited in the exam room for Marnie to be free. She was taking care of my prenatal stuff. One of the other dragons came and drew a vial of blood for testing.I was nervous. I hadn’t planned on a baby so soon and I had no idea how this even happened. We were being safe. I was going to fight alongside my mate. Now
I was laying out in the sun chairs on the deck with Indie, Aria, and Serena. After having my picnic with Ford a week and a half ago, I’d instituted mate bonding times for me and Indie. She wanted to be planning things with Rao, but I got her to understand.When I pointed out that our mates were feeling like they were only important when we fed, she stopped fighting against it. We set aside an hour a day to just sit with our mates or play with them and talk. It was the best idea.Serena stopped wearing a fake smile and was practically glowing. It added more to my relationship with Aria and Ford. There was time the three of us spent together, time we spent with Jeremiah and Yvonna, and time that was just one on one.Other demons saw this and followed suit. Soon the whole camp would probably be having time with their mates where they would just bond. I thought it would increase morale exponentially.Rao and Indie impressed me. They grew closer and real
[Madison]I cleaned up after training and started heading out to the main dining room to have lunch. Ford was standing in the entry with a large basket. I raised an eyebrow and wandered toward him.“What’s going on, honey?” I asked.“I’m takin’ you on a picnic, baby.” He replied with a slight smile.“A sexy picnic?”Ford laughed. “Not this time, baby. There are too many kids around here and I don’t want to go to the in-between. We’ve been spendin’ so much time workin’ on battle plans, trainin’, and keepin’ you full of energy after all the extra trainin’ you’re puttin’ yourself through. I just wanna be with you without all that junk. And without… Aria. I miss the time we were alone.”There was a strain in my eyes like I was going to cry. I’d been so obsessed with getting everything over with in the
We went downstairs and I said goodbye to Jeremiah as Madison approached. She was smiling so brightly. I knew she was happy that we were finally going to mark each other. I was too.“Take care of our girl.” Jeremiah said to her.She hugged him. It didn’t seem forced. I was glad that they were friends. It would make our relationship easier. I knew it was what Madison wanted from me and Ford.The time he and I had to bond over the last few months really helped. I don’t know that I would have gotten over my jealousy as quickly if Madison had been around. Seeing them together since she’d come back had brought some of those tinges back, but I’d been able to fight back.“Of course I will. Just like you did.” She replied. “Well, not exactly.”They let each other go and she reached out for my hand. I grasped her hand and she pulled me to her. She placed a gentle kiss on my lips.“Are y
