FRED Fuck that damned bastard I called a brother. I had to close our communication portal because he let it open so I could hear what was going on in the bedroom. The darned bastard thought it was fun to tease me, knowing how occupied I was, and how long it would take me to complete my task and return home to our mate. We had just gotten a feeling that the prison we erected between our worlds — LYXANT and Earth — was breached. To check on it, I had to be the one to leave since Blue had our Bunny in his arms. He would have been the one to do that, instead of being back at home. “What's going on?” I asked Chris the moment I got to the place. She was standing outside, with her hands in the pockets of the black jeans she was putting on, and her face scrunched up in a worried frown. Leaning on the wall, she didn't notice my presence until I asked the question. Startled, she looked up, only to draw away from the wall, replacing the worried frown on her face with fear as she watched me
FREDOur Bunny giggled as she scooped some water in her palms and poured it on her body, turning to smile at us. “Come on!” She beckoned to us, trying to get us to run down from the rock we were sitting on, to her side. “The water is cool,” she added for effects. “Nah, we will pass,” Blue responded, smiling down at her. “We are good.” “Not until you get down and join me. You don't know what you are missing.” “We will pass.” “Suit yourselves!” Pouting, she turned her back to us and resumed what she was doing, scooping and dumping water on her body like a kid as she giggled. It was cute watching her. “I think this is the happiest she has been since she discovered she's not human,” I said, my gaze on her beautiful golden strands. With the sun shining down on her, she looked like an angel. Her smiles were so enchanting that it took my breath away. Oddly enough, I felt like I had fallen more in love with her, with the beauty that swooped into our lives one sunny day, with shaky l
BELLAHe stilled at my question, as his gaze once more sorted his brother's. Neither of them uttered a word, and I thought they would never do that. I was prepared to have them change the topic, as it seemed they weren't ready to tell me about their kingdom and their reasons for leaving when they did. Same with what happened to Kandera's father. I only knew they killed him, but not their reason for that. As the subtle breeze blew on his hair, I watched, waiting for him to say something, to tell me they didn't want to speak about it, or forgot what took place. They could claim it happened a long time ago, so they couldn't recall everything. “It was a long time ago,” Fred started, his gaze returning to my face. His blue eyes locked with mine as he told the story. “As hybrids, our people did not accept us. My parents' relationship was considered taboo, just like your parents. My mother was the vampire princess. The strongest in her bloodline.” His eyes softened as he spoke about his m
“That's wrong.” I sat up, frowning at them. “The children are innocent. You can't use the sins of the fathers against their kids.” “Really? Did they think of this when they did the same to us?” Blue's voice was clipped. “Do you know we almost died from poison?”“Poison?”“Our paternal uncle wanted to kill us Slowly. Luckily enough, we discovered it early. He only killed our vampire side, and not our werewolf's side.” “But —”“We still act a bit like vampires?” Fred completed, smirking as he leaned down to place a kiss on my left cheek. “That's because we left for Earth. We recuperated for years before it finally woke up. Else, it would have crippled us for life."Listening to them, I couldn't think of what to say anymore. I understood why they were reluctant to return to their kingdom. I would have done the same had I been in their shoes. However, I couldn't fathom the thoughts of a kingdom without its kings. “You understand why we won't want anything to do with them?” “I do.” Nod
They didn't react for a long time. You would have thought I ordered them to jump into a cauldron of oil with the way they stared at me, not knowing I just asked them to mark me. “Why do you suddenly want that?” Fred removed stray strands of hair from my face. “Because I need us to be one.” I took his hand in mine and placed a kiss on the back, smiling. “I want you to mark me. Make me yours. Fully.” Even though I wasn't very knowledgeable about my planet, I knew getting marked by them would make our bond deeper. “Are you positive about that? It will hurt.” Fred looked like he wanted me to back down until I was certain it was what I wished. “Of course.” I lifted my palm to his face and caressed his cheek. “I know what I want. Getting your Mark is one of the things I want. We can discuss the others when we get the chance.” Aside from returning to work, and meeting Chris, whom I have not seen for a long time, I wanted to consider the possibility of returning to our kingdom with t
“What did we do to deserve you?” Fred's voice was raw with emotions, conveying things his eyes were desperately trying to do. “I feel like Blue and I did something good in our first life to be blessed with you.” “Me too.” I placed a kiss on his lips, smiling at my mate. “I'm lucky to have you guys as my mates.”There was no joke about that. Being with them showed me there was more to life than fighting for a position, one I wasn't even holding at the moment. Before I met them, it was all I could think of. Getting to the top position was a dream of mine, which was why I did everything to get it. However, given the way things turned, I couldn't think of a life without my mates. Should they ask me to choose, they will always hold a place in my heart. To hell with any position. My mates come first. “Why do I feel like I'm being alienated?” Blue pouted, peering down at me with a frown. “Because you are.” Fred ignored his brother. “This is payback for what you did behind my back when I
“But you are.” Fred's words, though whispered, sounded deafening. It sent jolts of pleasure sizzling through me like beef in a full pot of oil, the emotion difficult to stifle. Not like I wanted to do that.He placed his hand under my jaw and made me stare at him. His golden eyes bore into mine, his gaze saying more than his lips could ever do. The dominance in his eyes made my knees weak. My skin tingled expectantly as shivers zapped down my spine.It was too late to turn back. I was a slave to the emotions he was undoubtedly rousing in me. Succumbing to it was the only thing I could think of.His thumb rubbed on my neck, his gaze still digging into mine with a ferocity that made me gasp. I wanted to look away, to tear my eyes away from his—and check on Blue—but he held me captive. I couldn't shake my head. I could only stare as his thumb caressed my cheek, his other hand venturing lower.His touch was electrifying, his fingers lingering on the side of my neck. We stared into each ot
My gaze went lower when he pulled his slacks down and his erection sprang free. I couldn't help but lick my lips at his magnificent cock. I had this intense urge to go down on my knees and take him into my mouth, to swirl my tongue around the tip while peering up at him, knowing how much it turned him on.“Stare at me that way for a second, and I won't be responsible for what I will do,” he growled and took my nipple in his mouth while one hand travelled downward, the other wrapping around my waist. I tilted my head back in the throes of passion as he suckled my nipple until it stung.My pussy throbbed as his fingers slide between my wet folds, flicking his thumb over my swollen clit while two fingers dipped inside me. I clenched around them, panting and moaning as I felt the electricity rolling around in my body, working itself into a ball in the centre of my being.“You are perfect,” he whispered, his voice still hoarse, filled with emotions he didn't bother to stifle.Lost in pleas
