Marie’s POV
After being knocked unconscious by Jason and the damn silver whip, I found myself beside a lake. This place looked like something off a postcard. I remembered Angel telling me about her visit to the moon goddess and speaking of the beautiful water surrounding the bright green grass. As I turned around sure enough there she was. Selena, Angel’s grandmother, and our Moon Goddess.
“Hello Marie, I’m guessing you know who I am judging by the way you are looking at me.” She spoke in such a soft tone, yet I could feel the power she possessed rolling off her. “Do you know why I have called you here?”
“So, I can witness my own death?” I joked nervously not knowing what else to say to her as I shifted nervously where I stood.
“Oh, my dear humour really isn’t your forte. Best to leave that to somebody else, that young
Ariels POVDeciding that Marie’s offer was my best bet of getting out of here I did as she said. I got dressed into an emerald green dress that hung off the shoulders which flowed to the floor. The dress matched my eyes so I figured this would convince my mother when I tell her I needed time to truly consider what I was being offered. Sitting on the edge of the bed waiting to be called had me on edge, so many ‘what ifs’ where swirling inside my head. What if Marie’s plan failed, what if she wasn’t on my side as she had told me and
Vladamirs POV Everything we had been preparing for was finally falling into place and soon I would get what I wanted. Originally my plan began with the death of Jason for the pain he had once inflicted on Jules but imagine my surprise when I found out that not only were William alive but that he and his mate had already killed him. As good as it felt knowing I wouldn’t have to waste already precious time removing him from the playing field I now needed to worry about William and his pesky offspring. Princess Angel, a she-wolf born to a special bloodline one that would produce powerful pups of her own according to prophecy. Pups that I could drain of power to finally allow myself to become truly immortal. I would once again be able to feel the heat of the sun on my skin something I hadn’t felt in centuries, yet I would remain a pure-blooded vampire. As proud as I was to have created the hybrids that were sired to me and my love, I needed a perm
Jake’s POVHaving received intel from what I hoped was a reliable source and not a trap I shared it with William, Nick and Alpha Rick. We spent all night discussing it in William’s office and although they were pissed that I wouldn’t reveal my source they soon got over it. The thing is my source promised me to keep their identity a secret, if anyone found out they were helping me there was a high chance of permanent death for that individual. Having finally agreed that Alpha Rick and I would conceal our scents and check out the information at hand we all headed to our rooms. It was two in the morning and knowing I needed to be up at four-thirty irritated me. Another night without Angel by my side would make falling asleep hard just like it had the last week. One thing was for sure, I would be giving her my undivided attention when I do get to see her again, that and explaining the pregnancy to her.As I
Ariel POVThe last few days had been a total blur. Ever since my refusal to join my mum and her mate Lord Vladamir in the high ranks of the vampire community, they had been trying to break me. That wasn’t something I or Jade would let happen. We were both completely opposed to being a filthy blood sucker and I would made sure they bloody well knew it.Sebastian had come into my room for the fourth time today and having had enough of his taunting, Jade took control and we shifted. We decided that being in wolf form would make it a damn site harder for them to do anything. How wrong were we. Sebastian came back a short while later with three other men and Marie. After having put up a fight they managed to subdue me and injected us with what I knew was wolfsbane. There was no mistaking the soaring pain of the wolfsbane as it spread throughout my bloodstream causing pain, we were all too familiar with making us pass out as the pai
Jake’s POV When Nick told me that Angel was back, Hunter howled in my head with excitement. I said goodbye to Alpha Rick, he went to see his Luna as she was due to go into labour any moment and I went to mine. As I reached our room Angel’s scent hit me like a ton of bricks and nothing but naughty thoughts filled my head. As I entered the room, I noticed the baby asleep in her cot and mind linked Rita to come and get her, something she didn’t mind in the slightest; she had always loved babies and was always cooing over them whenever a she-wolf had one. After surprising Angel in the bath and giving her the best shortest sex of my life, I wanted nothing more than to take her again and again until we both passed out from exhaustion. Something that Angel also seemed to want as she kept trying it on with me. But alas we had more pressing matters to attend to, not only did we have an upcoming battle, but I also needed to sit and talk to Angel
Angels POV Pregnant how the hell could I possibly be pregnant and how could Jake know before me.“Well, when a man and a woman have intercourse and the man releases…” Star was laughing away as she took the micky out of me.“Shut up Star I’m not an idiot. Obviously, I know how you get pregnant, but I don’t get how I can be. I take the pill. I didn’t want to have a pup until after all this shit was behind us”“Well obviously a much greater plan is in the works for us so suck it up and get over it”“Star did you know. You don’t seem very shocked” I asked knowing she had a tendency to keep secrets from me at times.“I did yes. So did Hunter. But Selena told us we couldn’t say anything. It was something you had to figure out on your own, had w
Jakes POV I did as Vladamir instructed and forced Hunter to recede, he began to snarl and growl in a menacing manor as I forced us to shift back, Hunter was livid wanting to kill the filthy bloodsucker that dare lay a finger on our mate. As much as it pained me not to let Hunter do things his way, I wasn’t under any circumstances going to gamble with Angel’s life, something I hoped I wouldn’t live to regret. “Hahaha, such an interesting thing this ‘mate bond’ you beasts have” Vladamir actually spat the term mate bond as if it left a sour taste on his tongue. “Find the girl threaten her and the big bad alpha submits” his laugh rang out throughout the grounds of then Kingdom causing the hairs on my arms to stand. “I did as you asked now let her go” I told him forcing as much strength into my words as I could muster. Something that at this moment was difficult knowing the lives of my ma
Williams POVIt’s been two weeks since Angel and Jake ended the life of the infamous Lord Vladamir, and a busy couple of weeks it had certainly been. Not even twenty-four hours after having lost his life did Vladamir’s mate Jules arrive. Having felt the pain of losing a mate myself I knew all too well that she wanted revenge. The need for bloodshed amplified by her now vampire senses made her a formidable villain. Ariel attempted to reach her mother’s humanity but failed, it was clear Jules had gone blood crazed; a term that was used when a vampire had lost themselves in rage. Angel wanted to save Jules to save Ariel from the heartbreak of having lost both of her
