Damien
They are set to play their last show of their tour, which is being cut short because per her doctor’s orders she needs to rest. Apparently, she passed out on stage about a month ago and her managers, Mac and his brother, Duncan, her tour manager, had been arguing with her to take it easy. Oh, and also some psycho stalker has made her the object of his deranged obsession. My family owns one of the best security firms in the world, her manager’s and record company contacted me to take over her private security.
My team and I are heading to Houston for their final show. The 4th of July is going to be their biggest show to end their tour and it is also Reign’s eighteenth birthday. I will be able to claim her and tell her about me and the rest of my family’s true selves. She and the twins are supposed to pick me and my team up at the airport. My excitement was building to see her, these next few weeks are going to be torture, she won’t feel the same feelings I am until her birthday gets closer and then she’ll really start to feel the mating pull. If we’re lucky, she may feel it when we see each other or when we touch.
Our plane finally landed, and it was hotter than hell, how could anyone live here? How could my siblings deal with this unbearable heat? We exited the plane and made our way to the private lobby area where I was met with a squeal and arms wrapping around my neck. Damien, I’ve missed you so much. She sobbed. You big asshat, why didn’t you ever come visit or were never around when we would visit? She asked smacking my arm.
I gave her a tight hug and dropped her to her feet, I missed you too Jazzy Bear. She was looking up at me with the same goofy smile she’s had since she was five. I couldn’t help but chuckle at her. Sorry Jazzy Bear but the business has grown, and we’ve picked up some really huge contracts. I had to meet with new clients and get their systems set up. I explained to her with my best pouty face. Please, forgive me?
Fine. She pouted. But don’t ever do that again. She sobbed. I still need my big brother. Guilt overcame me, I didn’t realize she felt this way. I stroked her hair. I’m sorry. I promise I’ll be around a lot more. Good, then maybe you can also confess to Reign about being her mate and that you're madly in love with her. She smiled at me. Jaz! I scowled at her. Don’t worry, we haven’t said anything to her. She assured with a frown. But you should! She scolded.
Wholly hell!! It’s so damn hot!! Moses groaned. Oh please, it’s not that hot, it’s only around a hundred degrees with a heat index of one hundred and fifteen, no big deal, don’t be such a wuss. She chuckled at Moses. Wholly shitballs, that sweet voice, her sweet scent of roses and strawberries, where is she. I need to see her, I turned and found her beautiful grey eyes gazing back at me smiling.
I’m not a wuss! But c’mon one hundred fifteen? Shit, how do you deal with it? He groaned. She laughed at him, such a beautiful sound that has ever hit my ears. I was born, raised and breed in Texas, so I’m used to it, my advice, try shorts, a tank top and some flip flops. She said waving her hands up and down her luscious, curvy body. I couldn’t help but think of the things I could do to her. I gazed at her with longing and the need to have her in my arms. Before I could look away, she caught me looking at her and we both turned away, she was blushing. Awe she was so adorable when she blushed. Hey there baby girl. I whispered to her as I walked over to her. She was blushing a whole lot harder. I love it when she blushes. I extended my hand, as we got closer so she could take my hand, I stepped closer and pulled her into my arms engulfing her in a strong tight hug. I could feel the sparks shoot through my body. I was pretty sure she felt them also. I heard her inhale sharply and then she leaned into me a little tighter. I brought my head down close to her ear and just inhaled her scent. I missed you so much. I whispered in her ear.
She was going to say something but there was tap on my shoulder, Excuse me, Mr. Hunt, a female voice pulled me away from my love. I turned to see the flight attendant looking at me up and down while licking her lips. It was really funny how she was trying to be sexy, but it wasn’t working for her. The pilot asked to speak with you, she continued licking her lips. She looked ridiculous, little does she know that I have found my love and that she is the one and only woman for me.
Reign pulled away from me, she looked confused and sad. Our moment was ruined, I know she felt something. Ehem, I heard from behind me, are we going to stand here and watch this bitch eye fuck you? Or are we getting out of here? The bags and luggage have been loaded in the cars. My little sister snorted with a scowl on her face. She was very protective my mate. How dare you! The attendant spit out. How DARE me? How DARE you! Jazlyn yelled making Koltyn rush to her side. Ssshhh, my Jazzy love, he whispered and dragged her away from us.
I could feel Reign watching me, I looked over at her, I saw the sadness in her eyes before she could hide it. Dammitt! I grumbled under my breath, this is not how I wanted our courtship to start. Uhhh, I'll wait in the car, she whispered and made her way to the door before I could say anything. My heart broke, she went from a beautiful smile to a frown. She wouldn’t even look at me. This female was now running her hands up and down my arm, she needed to keep her hands off me. Dammitt!! Keep your filthy hands off me! I growled at her. Mr. Hunt, is there a problem? The pilot came rushing out. Yes, it seems that your flight attendant doesn’t know how to keep her hands to herself. I scowled at the female. She upset my mate, which is unacceptable, and I do not appreciate! Oh please, she’s just a stupid human! She can’t give you what you need but I can. I understand what you need and how to give it to you. The female said continuing to run her hands down my chest. She doesn’t even know she’s your mate. She smirked.
I grabbed her arms and pushed her away from me. That’s it!! I boomed, her and the pilot tilted their heads in submission. You are not my mate she is the only one who knows what I need. I looked at the pilot. We will be leaving for home in a few weeks, she better not be on that flight. I warned walking away.
My team and siblings were already waiting by the vehicles, Moses was drooling over a purple and pink Challenger Hellcat that turned out to belong to my love. Who knew she was a speed demon? She still looked sad as she talked with Jaz. Jaz had her arm around her shoulder in comfort.
We should get going, I’m sure ya’ll are hungry, I have a table set up at a local barbecue joint. I can take three and the rest can split up in the SUVs over there. There’s a driver for each one for now, at least until you get to my house. Koltyn and Ryott are meeting us at the restaurant. She said avoiding eye contact with me.
Jyden and Jazlyn each rode in one of the SUV’s, and I, Moses and Shadow rode with Reign. Moses and Shadow squeezed themselves into the backseat, leaving me to sit in the front passenger seat. It was pretty funny watching two six foot seven, almost three-hundred-pound men squeeze into a small backseat. I couldn’t help but laugh at them. Shadow glared at me, and Moses flipped me off. As soon as she hit the street, she floored it and grinned. I could tell she enjoyed the power of her Hellcat. I smiled and gently brushed my fingers against her hand that she had resting on the arm rest. She glanced over at me, I could tell she felt what I felt, the electricity that shot through our bodies, the wanting, the need, charging through us. I know she felt it also, I heard her inhale sharply as I brushed my fingers against her hand. I took a chance and intwined my fingers with hers, it was only for a few seconds but that’s all it took to know that she’s really mine. She pulled her hand away and my heart fell, a coldness fell through my body as Ayres whimpered. I knew she was still upset at what happened at the airport.
My work is going to be cut out for me, she knew nothing of who I and my siblings really are. When we tell her the truth, she may not want anything to do with any of us, just that thought made my heart clench.
Reign It’s been three years since I last saw the twin’s older brother, Damien. I was fifteen and he was twenty-one when we first met. He and their parents came to one of our shows when we were on our first tour. When we first met, I wasn’t sure about him, considering he scared the shit outta me. He cornered me in an elevator and wrapped me in his arms and said that I was HIS. I had no idea what he meant. I’m still not sure what to think, there was something about him that drew me to him. When he had me in his arms there was an electric shock that jolted through my whole body, just being around him was intoxicating, hearing him say my name made me go weak in the knees. When his visit was done and he went home, I felt like a part of me was missing, that was just crazy. I never told the twins about my feelings, hell I wasn’t even sure what was happening myself. I had no idea what those feelings were, I was beyond confused. I never saw him again; I was disappointed, but I never let it b
Reign Is he ready to go? Or is he leaving with her? I asked my voice laced with venom, for whatever reason I was angry, jealous and hurt. What are you talking about? What’s going with you? Who are talking about? Her who? Jaz rambled in confusion. Nothing’s wrong! I snapped. I’m fine! And you know who I’m talking about. The hell you are! She snapped back. Why are you so pissed off? I didn’t come here to watch women throw themselves at your brother. I snorted furrowing my brows and scrunching my nose. Jaz giggles. I glared at her. That bitch? She threw her thumb behind her. Oh please, Damien put her in her place, besides there’s only one female he wants touching him and only has eyes for. She winked at me. I could feel my cheeks warm up. Are you blushing? She snickered. What?! NO! I don’t know what you’re talking about, and I don’t blush. My cheeks turning a brighter red. Yeah right, go ahead and tell yourself that, that’s why you look like a beet. She smirked. I
Reign After going back and forth about who paid the bill, we made it back to my house. Mac was waiting on us. It’s about time you got here. He gruffed. I told you where we were going to go after they got here, you could have joined us. I walked in and kissed his cheek. Didn’t have time and still don’t have time. I just wanted to make sure Damien had everything he and his team need. He said shaking Damien’s hand. I just need the schedule of events for the rest of the tour. Damien told him. Not a problem, I’ll have Reign’s assistant get that to you. Wait? Why does he need that? I asked. Isn’t Jason… No, he’s not, not anymore. Mac stated. He’ll still be around to but he’s not in charge, besides, it was only temporary, and he knew that. But I thought he was in charge until… He was but things change. Damien is in charge now. Mac said so coldly. What things? I demanded. Sorry to interrupt but where do we set up? Moses asked. Ground floor, through that door, down the
REIGN I’m what? I asked trying to catch my breath. I have no idea what you’re talking about. I told him turning away to go to my room. See ya in the mornin’. We have an early day, make sure to review the itinerary. And I ran upstairs. I could feel his eyes staring at me, don’t turn around, don’t turn around, I told myself. Please, just go to him, run into his arms and let him hold us. My inner voice begged. Will you just shut up, please? I snapped at this crazy ass voice in my head. Reign, you, okay? Jaz called following me up to my room followed by Ryott. The three of us were thick as thieves, at least that what everyone said. I’m fine. I snapped. Reign Rose Raven! She snapped at me. I rolled my eyes at her. What Jazlyn?! What the hell is wrong with you? Nothing is wrong. Bullshit! Both her and Ryott said in unison as we walked into my room. Just tell her, maybe she can slap some sense into you. The voice grumbled. What did you say? I looked at Ryott. I didn
Reign After we drove for about 20 minutes, we arrived at Cracker Barrel. I love this place. I got out rubbing my hands together. Let’s go. I said skipping into CB. Hi, I need a table for 15 please. I smiled at the girl. She looked at me and her mouth fell open. Damien approached her. Excuse me, may I speak with your manager? He asked politely. Miss? He snapped his fingers in front of her face. OMG! She squealed as she covered her mouth. Please don’t scream, yell or call attention. He told her bring her attention to him. Get your manager for me, please. Quietly. She nodded and rushed off. When she returned, she had who I assumed was the manager. Damien went and spoke with her. That female better not touch our mate. My inner voice growled in my head. Not you again? I grumbled. And why do you keep calling him our mate? I don’t even know what the hell a mate is. I snapped. As crazy as this sounds, do you have a name? I asked. Call me Nera and she’s touching him, go
Damien Hearing the sobs of my mate made my heart ache, all I wanted to do was wrap her in my arms, hide her away and take her pain away. I kept glancing at her in the rear-view mirror, she looked so broken. We finally arrived at Reign’s home, she jumped out of the car and rushed her way to the police line, but she was stopped by Mac and Duncan. She was fighting hard to get lose but they held her tight. A wave of anger flowed through me, and I ran to her side growling at both men, who released her, and I wrapped my arms around her. Let me go! She kept yelling. Please, KC! I need to find KC! Who’s KC? A firefighter asked who was standing next to us. KC, she’s my furbaby. She was in the house! Please find her. She sobbed. KC! C’mere girl, come to momma! She pleaded trying to whistling for KC. Mr. McAvoy, may we speak with you? A fire fighter called. Jaz and Ryott put their arms around her in comfort, I stood behind them and wrapped all three of them in a hug. Slowly Reign sunk to h
Reign Streaks of sunlight peeked their way through the curtains, I groaned. Why does the sun have to be so bright in the mornings? I asked myself covering my eyes. I went to get outta bed, but I was pinned down. Reign, our mate loves us. He...they, will protect us, all you have to do is open up to him and trust him. I heard Nera whisper in the back of my mind. Oh shittles! Who’s lying next to me? I looked over to my side, cheese n crackers!! It’s Damien! He had one arm under my head and the other one draped across my waist. Why is he in my bed? I lifted the blanket, OH THANK GOODNESS, I still have my clothes on and he’s in shorts. I wiggled as best I could do to get up. I had to go pee. Every time I moved to get up his grip got tighter. I leaned back and looked at him. He’s so gorgeous, has a strong jaw line, his skin has the most perfect tan. His hair was a mess, but it is so soft. I moved some of his matted hair from his forehead. Mate is so handsome. Nera purred. WTF? Are yo
Reign We drove in silence with the only noise coming from the classic rock station playing softly on the radio. As we got closer, my tears started to silently fall, and my heart started to hurt. I don’t know if anything would be salvageable, all I really want are my pictures and my safe, everything else can be replaced but not my pictures. They were all I had left of mom, dad, and the life I had before they died. I prayed that I would be able to find my safe and pictures. We pulled up to the gate and we were immediately let in. Before we turned the corner to my house, I froze. NO! STOP! I don’t think I can do this. I whispered through sobs. Damien came to a stop and waved the guys around us. Little one, you’re not alone. We are all here for you. Damien said leaning his forehead on my left temple. I took a deep breath and nodded indicating for him to keep moving. When we got to the remains of my home, there were stacks of items that looked like they have been cleaned of the soot fr
Reign Reign, babygirl, you need to open your eyes. I heard Damien call. It’s time for Aspyn’s feeding. He said gently rubbing my arm to wake me up. Already? You’ve been asleep for three hours. He smiled. Feels like I just fell asleep. I said sitting up. How are the others? I asked as he placed our little girl in my arms. She was so small and light, but she knew exactly where to go. She quickly found my nipple and began to suckle. They are all doing good. We now have eleven pups added to the family. He told me with a sparkle in his eyes. All of them born same day? Of course, they have to do everything together. We are certainly going to have our hands full every year with eleven birthdays. This is so crazy. Has this ever happened before? I kept saying they’re all connected to one another but this absolutely crazy. I laughed. Nope, never. Grampa said popping the P as he walked in. At least not in my lifetime. He said picking up Riftyn to feed him while Damien fed Gunnar. Aspyn started w
Reign Babygirl, I’m here. Damien said busting into the room. I’m so sorry it took me so long. He breathed hard. Reign, sweetie, your dad asked if he could come in? Ma said. Yes, that would be great, I think we are going to need a couple of extra hands. I said trying to catch my breath. Damien, I’ll have your mom come in also. Ma said. Apryl no, you, and Deklyn stay. Reign is your daughter; you should be here with her when she delivers. My mom already said she wanted you and Deklyn in here. She will be with Jazlyn and Ryott when they go into labor he said with a smile. Jaz will need her mom, just like Reign needs her mom. He smiled at her. Thank you. Ma sobbed and came back by my side and dad walked in. He stood next ma and smoothed my hair down. Ebbie waited about an hour to see if the baby repositioned itself, but it hadn’t turned enough. Okay, this little one hasn’t turned so I need to turn the baby. I’m not going to lie; it will hurt so I’m going to give you another dose of pain m
Damien So, are the arrangements ready for this buzzard guy? I asked Jy as I flipped through the files on my desk. I’m still pretty annoyed that this fool is coming here. Yep, he’ll be here in a few hours and your girl is pretty excited. I threw a book at him. Hey! That’s not nice. He said flipping me off. Besides, for some unknown reason she only has eyes for you. Koltyn interjected his opinion. What do you have on this buzzard fool? I looked at Moses and Shadow. He’s worked as a freelance journalist; he’s been at it for the past 15 years. He’s won a few awards. Moses started. Even one with my gorgeous baby mama. Shadow smiled. Yeah, yeah but is it safe to have him here? I grumbled. We can’t find any reason not to have him here. Moses said and Shadow nodded in agreement. Until I am comfortable with him, I want eyes on him at all times. Damien. Jyden sighed. Jyden, please it’s what I want, just keep an eye on him, friend or not. This is not just the life of my mate and the mother of my
Reign Damien went into the closet and walked out with a pair of leggings and one of his shirts that fit me like a dress. Here let me help you get dressed. Do you want to take a shower? No, I’m still good from last night. Lift your arms. He said pulling my night shirt, well his shirts over my head and pulling the clean one on over my head. Then helped me put my pants, socks, and shoes. C’mon, everyone’s waiting. He pulled me out the door. Cloie told you I was throwing a fit, didn’t she? I pouted. Yeah, but I was already on my way to check on you and bring you down. The council members want to get the trial started. Mom told me a little about the counsel, but my question is, why did they wait til now to form? I asked him as we walked to the conference room. I’ll let them tell you. He chuckled. You’re gonna love this shit though. He said with a sly grin. You butt munch! I whisper-yelled as we walked to our seats making him chuckled. Good afternoon your majesties. Elder Jon greeted. Elde
Damien Did you really think that you would get away with my mate, my Queen? I growled. She is MINE! She has always been mine. He spat. Before I could say anything else her sweet scent of strawberries filled my nose. MATE! Ayres yelled out. Find mate, she near. Damien! Her voice sent goosebumps gliding down my spine. Reign! I turned to her; she was speed waddling to me. I couldn’t help but laugh a little, she was having trouble running. Jyden was following right behind her making sure she doesn’t fall. She’s going on two months and couldn’t run. I jogged over to her holding my arms wide open for her. She flung herself into my embrace and clung to me like a baby kola. Babygirl, I missed you so much. I told her nuzzling my face in her hair. Damien, you found us. I knew you would. She whimpered. We had a little help from Jyce and his mate. He smiled. I knew it! That little bitch when I get my hands on her... Luther snarled. You will not touch either of them! All this is... Reign motion
Damien Your majesty. Shadow called entering my office followed by my most trusted high-ranking members. We think we have found where he’s taken our Queen. We found an abandoned village about an hour and half to the west, there is activity but nothing like an active pack. There are a few families, a few warrior types but nothing we can’t handle. Koltyn advised. We left Noah, Jonah, Grant and Grifyn there to scout and get a lay of the area. Moses said. Also, that village is right on the edge of our territory. Jyden raised his brows. Are you sure? I asked. I thought all housing and villages were condemned after we moved everyone from there. They were, apparently... I cut off Jyden off. How did they get by our patrols? I growled out. It’s hidden in the trees, most of those living in the area their homes are built into the mountain side. We had no reason to believe anyone was living there. Spencer defended. Every time we went by there, no one was ever spotted, there was no scent, never any
Reign We walked in and the receptionist looked at me and rolled her eyes, What do you want? She sighed. First of all, you will not roll your eyes at my sister, who also happens to be your Queen. Grace growled. You will show her respect! Aleya finished. Ladies, what is the problem? Aunt Ebbie asked. Just reminding this mutt who her Queen is. Aleya narrowed her eyes. Whatever. The girl commented. That is enough! Aunt Ebbie scolded. You are excused for the day; you will be on unpaid leave for a week. Disrespect for your Queen or anyone else, will not be tolerated. You can’t do that! the girl huffed. Yes, I can, and I just did. Now go! Aunt Ebbie pointed to the door. The girl gathered her things and stomped out. I’m so sorry. Aunt Ebbie sighed. It’s okay Ebbie. I assured her. Well, now what can I do for you? She asked leading me to her office. This is kinda awkward. I mumbled. Did...has Damien spoke to you in the last week? I asked. No, but things have been pretty busy and hectic for us
Damien It was the only way I could get him here. He thought Damien would challenge me and when I won... he chuckled. ...the fight against your mate, I was going to name him as my successor and make you mate him. I never had any intention of doing that. I was hoping he wouldn’t find out and I would be able to let you know what was going on before he even attempted anything. I am sorry for that. He sighed. I never meant for you to be in that kind of situation. I, Steven Garan, Vampire King of the European Kingdom, hereby renounce my title and throne to Alpha King Damien Ayres Hunt of the Were Kingdom and to Alpha Queen Reign Dyanera Rose Raven Garan Black Hunt. I hereby vow my loyalty and allegiance. He said as he bowed before me and Reign. After Steven transferred his power to me and Reign, we both felt the shift in power, new voices were coming through. Reign inhaled sharply as she gripped her belly. Damien... she winced. Apryl rushed to Reign’s side. Take a deep breath, they are fe
Damien What do you want to do with Luther? Shadow asked after Reign fell asleep. She was only gone for a few days, but it felt like a lifetime. Keep him in the enchanted silver chains, dose him with wolfsbane and keep him in the cells. No one but high ranks see him. The girls don’t see him alone. Jyden snorted. Yeah, I know but it’s an order from their Alpha. That will keep them from arguing with you. Whew, thanks. Jyden sighed. Yeah, I know they’re gonna be pissed but they’re gonna have to wait until Reign and Madison recover. I told him gazing down at my mate. Ebbie is waiting in your room ready to examine Reign and the babies. Then she will examine Madison. Dad said hanging up his phone. Do we know anything about Madison? Jyden asked. Moses and the twin wonders are looking into her past. Shadow assured. The twin wonders are Reign’s cousins. Haha. We need to figure out nicknames for them, we have three sets of identical twins running around. Grant and Grif are the blood twins and Sp
