The Fated Queen 36: Lily
All she could see was the heightened vision of who appeared to be Chelsea kissing her Mate. Shock was the first to strike her nerve, followed by a sliver of betrayal when she noticed the look in Jayce's eyes. Wide eyed, confused and... scared? His hands gripped the woman's arms, tugging on them to pry them away. His veins blackened around his lips and crept towards his eyes. Lily felt this intense bestial growl through her chest that vibrated through her bones as it echoed through his office. The ground tremored beneath her feet as her voice boomed like thunder from her throat. "GET OFF OF HIM!" Lily charged forward and grabbed Chelsea by her hair. The hard tug ripped her away from Jayce's lips with a yelp as her body flew at an alarming speed and crashed into the wall across the room. Chelsea slammed into the shelves that covered the wall, breaking the wood frame of it. Books clattered to the ground as she fell to her hands and knees. Lily snarled angrily, her claws extended and he

Her heart pulsed in her ears. Jayce's weight against her consumed her strength and pushed her down to her knees. Lily carefully dropped him down beside her and witnessed as he shifted back into his Human state again. Blood and ichor oozed out from the wound on his back. Veins blackened and spread out from it. Kill her! Azura's voice surprised her. Kill her now! Jayce's body lay limp beside her. Unmoving. Yet she still felt their bond. If he had truly died, she would know. A deep, guttural growl ripped from Lily's throat as she rose to her feet. Her bones shifted apart and together. Her muscles expanded across her back. Golden fur stained with Jayce's blood sprouted from her skin. Power surged through her body as she towered over Jayce's body. There was a gargle from across the room. Her head swiveled to find Chelsea's body morphed together from the flesh parts and ichor from when Jayce tore her to shreds. But now the ichor and darkness that had swarmed and enveloped Chelsea stitc

The adrenaline was quickly vanishing from her system. It took everything within her to remain awake. She knew her body would collapse after the experience of her shift. Lily couldn't allow that to happen. Not until she knew Jayce was safe and far from death's door. "Lily!" Derek called out to her when Aiden and another Warrior escorted her back inside the Pack House. "What the Hell happened?" The frantic Alpha approached her. His eyes darted to Aiden for a split second, but swiveled his attention back to Lily. "Jayce is..." "Where is he?" she pleaded. She tugged Aiden's jacket closer to hide her naked form from her father-in-law. "Where is Jayce? Is he still in his office?" "N-No." He cleared his throat before he looked to the Warrior. "Fetch the Queen some clothes immediately." The Warrior nodded firmly before he took off down the corridor to the right of the main entrance. "Myself and another Warrior took him to a suite." Derek mentioned as he escorted her and Aiden up the stai

Karmina gritted her teeth as her vision cleared. Five candles, positioned at each point of the star she sat in, flickered and dimmed to lowlight. The stale stench of blood from where she formed her circle lingered still. "Woman was useless, after all." She seethed. Karmina rose to her feet and swept her hand out from beside her. The flames of the candles went out at once and darkness swarmed her vision. She snapped her fingers and the light from the hanging chandelier high above her flickered on. Lying around her circle were animal carcasses. Wildlife from outside her new home. "Weak. All of them are weak!" She swung her hand around and a spray of ichor shot out from her hand and splattered against the wall. It dripped down before being absorbed into the wallpaper. "I was so close." She peered down at her hands. The ichor that had sprayed from it seeped back into her flesh. A knock came at her door. "Mistress." His annoying voice sounded from the other side. "They have arrived and

Do you plan to sleep forever? A painful throb pulsed throughout his skull as he stirred. A deep, guttural growl vibrated in his chest. His body ached as he withdrew from the darkness of his consciousness. His eyes fluttered open, only to snap shut from the blinding light. A high-pitched ringing sounded in his ears that intensified the throbbing pain in his head. It gradually softened until it was non-existent. A gentle beep replaced the ringing. Rhythmic. He eased his eyes open, now prepared for the light. His vision slowly cleared at the edges. As it cleared, the suite came into view. The blinds pulled aside to let in natural sunlight. The faint singing of birds from the surrounding forest. Thin fabric caressed under his arms as he shifted his body slightly. His muscles pulled and pushed as he barely moved an inch. Easy. You'll pull every muscle in your body if you move too quickly. The strangely familiar voice in the depths of his mind surprised him. It was rare to hear her. "A-

A calm melody drifted through her subconsciousness. The gentle breeze caressed her cool cheeks and whistled sweetly past her ears. It was enough to stir her awake from the depths of her slumber. Lily's eyes fluttered open and met the blanket of stars high above her. She sat up, her fingers brushed across the soft grass around her. Small patches of wildflowers lay scattered about this field she found herself in. As she pushed herself to her feet, her ears picked up on the humming that had invaded her sleep. Her head swiveled to the right and noticed a woman across the field. Though distant, there was this strange warmth and familiarity to her that Lily couldn't put her finger on. Curiosity drew her closer to this stranger. The grass beneath her feet hardly made a sound as she crossed the open field. As she did, her eyes swept this unfamiliar landscape around her. To the far south was the first row of trees into a dark forest. To the north were towering mountains that lined the horizo

A bright light blinded her when she opened her eyes. She expected to be in the same field alongside Ariel. Then came the soft, rhythmic beeping. She recognized it almost immediately. Her visits to the hospital engraved in her mind through the years. Her vision cleared little by little. First around the edges before moving inward. The familiar ceiling. Her fingers spread out over the soft quilt that lay across her body. The firm mattress underneath her. It had been a decade since she last laid in this bed. Her eyes, now adjusted to the morning light that peaked through the veil curtains, scanned the room carefully. Heart monitor. IV bag. An empty bed beside her. Her nostrils flared slightly. His scent still lingered from it. "Azura..." Her voice was hoarse as she barely managed a whisper. "Azura?" I am here. Her Wolf's voice felt distant, however. Recovering. Resting. We're safe. He's safe. Lily opened her mouth to speak again, but felt her Wolf withdraw into the depth of

Damion lay upon the infirmary bed before her, sickly pale and sweating from a persistent fever. Her eyes continued to drift to the blood-stained bandages around his shoulder. Everything happened so quickly. When Zalakai chopped off his arm with that ominous axe, she couldn't move. Couldn't speak. There was so much blood. His yells muffled before fallen silent as he lost consciousness. Everyone was in a rush, yet time felt still. All of these powerful beings hovered over him, but not one person checked on her. His Mate. Now that everything had calmed down, but her thoughts were in a chaotic mess. Her emotions unstable. All it needed to take was one single phrase. A single word or action for her mind to explode. "Damion!" Her voice rang through the room as the door to the infirmary burst open. Erica's eyes snapped to Lily as she entered the room, her Mate close behind her. Concern lit up her best friend's eyes at the sight of Damion in the bed. Damion stirred ever so slightly at the s

Her heart was in her throat. As she stood in front of the Pack House. Jayce, after making the call, was informed that Damien was still at the Pack House, recovering. As well as Erica being at his side. "Do you need a moment?" Jayce asked her as he held open the door. Lily let out a shaky breath. "No. No more waiting." Jayce gave her a small smile as he took her hand and led her inside. The Pack House was busy. His Warriors were preparing with all weaponry available in their arsenal. Jayce's men looked relieved to see them again. Each one arched their necks in respect as they walked past. "It's an adjustment." Lily smiled awkwardly. "Having gone to a Rogue community who don't care what title you carry, to a home where everyone looks up to you." "It was a small reprieve." Jayce admitted. His hand grasped hers. "For once, not having others turn to me as their leader, but just as another Wolf." His eyes softened. "It was a different perspective, but a necessary one." "Jayce..." Lil
The Fated Queen 80: Jayce
Home. He set the bags on the bed, his eyes swept the room. It had only been a week since they departed from here, but it seemed like months since they've been gone. There was much to do before the battle happened. The talk with the other Alphas. Finalizing safety protocol with the Pack members that hadn't left. Damien. "Damien." He murmured softly. He hadn't heard anything after what had happened. Aside from being stabilized, he hadn't heard from his Beta, his best friend. Was he alright? Angry? Disappointed? "Jayce?" Lily's soft voice reached his ears from the doorway. He hadn't heard her come to the room. "Do you want to see him?" "I will." He reassured her, but hesitance still lingered. Lily sensed it and walked over to wrap her arms around his waist. "Everything will be okay. I'm sure he missed you just as much as you missed him." "Will you confront Erica?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "The last time you two were together, it wasn't pleasant." Lily
The Fated Queen 79: Lily
The familiar foyer was a sight for sore eyes. The warmth and security of their home was a long wait that was overdue. Everything appeared as it should. No Undead wandering about. No decaying wallpapers or blood streaks of violence. Tidy. Clean. Home. Lily released a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "We're back." She whispered. "I never realized how much I missed home until a situation occurs." Jayce voiced alongside her. The tension in his shoulders easing slightly. His nose wrinkled as he picked up the scents. "I'll be..." "Jayce? Lily?" A young male voice chipped in from the kitchen. A tall, more on the slender side version of Jayce peeked his head from around the kitchen doorway. His short black hair pushed back from his face as he grinned. "Shit, you're home." "Elias." Lily smiled instantly as Jayce's younger brother walked over to greet them. "How long have you been here?" She asked as she hugged him. "It feels like I haven't seen you in months. When did you get so
The Fated Queen 78: Aiden
"Are you sure you don't want to wait another day?" Aiden asked Willow as they all walked down the dirt road. "I don't think one more day won't hurt us if you need to gather yourself after that ordeal." A handful of children ran by, laughing like the fight to come was nonexistent. Carefree regardless of the nightmare his community suffered through just a few days ago. Willow shook her head adamantly. "We can't continue to delay every time Karmina throws a wrench in our plans." "I'm afraid she's right." Dante agreed. He had discarded his ichor stained vest and switched out his slacks for a fresh pair. "As much as I desire a reprieve from Karmina's stunt, the longer we hold off, the stronger she will get." "Will Winston cover for you in the mean time?" Lily asked as her eyes swept over the shops and houses they walked past. "I trust Winston to keep things running no matter what." Aiden adjusted the strap on his shoulder. "Besides, my mom will also be here." He felt Amira's quick gla
The Fated Queen 77: Lily
Willow's gasped loudly before she coughed heavily. "Willow!" Dante wrapped his arms around her after Jayce released her and stepped away. She dry heaved while she clung to Dante. "My sweet Pixie, what on Earth happened to you?" He pushed her hair back from her face. "Karmina had her." Jayce coughed, his voice partially warped. He ran a hand over his face as he turned away from everyone. Lily walked past Willow as Dante tended to her and approached Jayce. "Nox?" She called out gently as she placed a hand on Jayce's arm. His body tensed under her touch. His fingers parted enough to show his Wolf eyes. "Are you alright? Did she hurt you to?" Lily asked worriedly. He let out a sigh. While he kept a hand over his face, perhaps not to alarm the others, his other hand rested over hers. "It's strange diving into someone else's mind that is not my Mate or children." He admitted gruffly. "Perhaps you see them as part of the Pack more than you realized." She stated. Jayce lowered his hand
The Fated Queen 76: Jayce
"Willow?" Dante's concerned tone drew Jayce's attention, along with the others. As he peered back, he found Willow stock still just past the entryway. Her eyes glazed over milky white. Dante had taken her hand in his, his eyes searching her face as he waited. "A vision?" Amira asked as she set a foot on the first step. "It's nothing out of the ordinary." Aiden huffed softly as he switched his grip on one bag. "She'll come out of it in a moment." Dante reassured, yet his shoulders appeared tense. "Her visions don't hurt her, do they?" Lily asked worriedly as she stood beside Jayce. "No. They're pretty harmless." Dante confirmed, as he brushed Willow's bangs from her eyes. "She told me they feel real while she's... away." He tilted his head from side to side as he tried to explain. "But no physical harm." Jayce studied Willow carefully. The way her brows seemed to draw just a fraction closer together. The way her lips part in the slightest bit. "Does she normally react outwardly
The Fated Queen 75: Willow
"Sounds like they patched things up." Aiden cleared his throat as he moved away from the staircase. "How do you know?" Willow asked, perplexed. Aiden tapped his ear. "It can be a blessing and a curse." The once naive young girl wouldn't have guessed what he meant by that, but the grown young woman felt her cheeks flush lightly from the inclination. Aiden joined Amira by the front door as she went over the duffle bags. "Got everything you need?" "Weapons, both blade and gun. Medical kits. The bow." She pointed to each bag. "To list a few." "Clothes?" He chuckled softly. Amira, without missing a beat, held up the backpack. "Ah. Good." The wooden floor creaked from the second floor as Jayce and Lily emerged. Lily's cheeks were still lightly flushed while Jayce had a small smirk on his lips. "You both look well." Willow commented. Lily looked down at the group as they descended the steps. She averted her gaze shyly while Jayce made no attempt to hide their intimate encounter earlier
The Fated Queen 74: Lily
When was it that he last touched me like this?Jayce's lips glided along the arc of her throat. His tongue flickered out to feel her pulse that raced beneath her skin. His hand roamed over the curve of her hip, his fingers hooking on the leggings she wore and tugged them down earnestly. Lily felt his Mark ignite, throbbing with an ache that had been deprived for months. Her nails dug into his back, raising a soft growl from his throat. The sound raised goosebumps along her exposed legs and a shiver to run down her spine. He sat up. His fingers shifted into claws and tore her shirt open. Ten years ago, this would have surprised her, even made her call out in shock, but her fingers caressed his cheeks and brought him back down in a welcoming kiss. She felt him sigh against her lips as he melted against her. His claws woven into her hair as he wedged himself between her thighs. "Lily..." His voice a deep rumble in his chest. "I have a darkness within me." He murmured against her lips.
The Fated Queen 73: Jayce
His head ached when he stirred. There was a slight weight on his chest when his eyes fluttered open. As his blurred vision began to clear, he recognized the room he and Lily were guests in at Aiden's home. The warm glow of the setting sun spread across the ceiling through the blinds. He inhaled deeply. The sweet scent of Lilies filled his senses and his eyes dropped to his Mate and her head that rested on his chest. Lily... The flash of memory from his Wolf nearly taking her life flooded his mind. He squeezed his eyes shut, his hand clamped over his face when he felt her shift and sit up. Her sleepy gaze swept over him before they brightened with alertness. "Jayce!" She smiled with relief. "You scared me. You've been out for a couple of days." She informed him as she brushed his hair from his face. "Lily..." He grumbled weakly. "The kids will be so relieved." She went on. "Myra has been worried sick, and the boys are confused." "Lily." His sharp tone ended in a growl. She fell
