“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
Fred raised me on the bed as Blue got in behind me, his hands travelling downwards to play with my swollen clit. Fred focused on my breasts, causing me to moan out at the sensation of having my clit stroked and my nipples pinched. With his right hand stroking my clit, Blue's left hand moved behind me, to my arse. Squeezing the cheeks, he murmured for me to spread my legs, which I obliged, impatient to get him to touch me.Shudders went down my spine when I felt a finger probing my arsehole, seeking a way to slide into my hot channel, which was clenching, eager to have something thrust into it. Their touch aroused me beyond reason, barely able to keep my breathing in check. Every muscle in my body was ripe with buzzing tension as Fred's mouth trailed kisses down my body, to my aching pussy. His fingers stretched and probed while his tongue worked my clit with expertly applied pressure. He licked me like I was dripping with honey. Each stroke of his tongue and dip of Blue's finger sen
I tossed on the bed, groaning at the sharp pain in my shoulders and lower abdomen. Yesterday had been a kind of adventure, but I was paying dearly for it at the moment. After I slept off, I woke up late at night to discover I was still joined with my mates. It was the most painful thing ever, and when I finally succumbed to another round of slumber, I couldn't be more grateful for the reprieve. Waking up now felt like hell. My lower abdomen hurts. I couldn't even feel my legs. And let's not forget the throbbing pain in my shoulders. I perked my eyes open, expecting to see my mates, only to discover I was alone on the vast bed. Sobbing, I closed my eyes once more, willing myself to return to sleep, believing the pain would disappear by the time I opened my eyes again. Sleep eluded me. Having slept for over 10 hours, my eyes were reluctant to visit the land of slumber again. Sighing, I sank my face into the pillow, mourning my faith. Lying with my face down, the only discomfort
I couldn't contain the smile on my face at the thought of visiting the office. It took a lot of conviction before my mates decided to take me out. For the first time in weeks, I was finally stepping out of the house.As I slipped into the beautiful new-length blue dress, I felt a surge of confidence and glamour. Fred gifted the gown to me while Blue got the shoes. From the way they acted as they presented their gifts, you would have thought they were in a silent competition to know whose gift was the most appreciated. They asked me which one I liked the best, but I told them I loved their presents so much because their gifts complemented each other. The blue dress hugged my curves in all the right places, accentuating my waistline, without showing off my baby bump. The gems adorning the dress catch the light, sparkling like diamonds against the vibrant blue fabric. Running my hands on it, I wondered how Fred knew my size without taking my measurements.I kept my makeup light and natu
“What??!” I couldn't tell who yelled the most, my mates or me. “What happened?” Blue demanded as I rushed over to Scarlett, to check on her wounds, which were surprisingly trying to close. “I can't tell. No one knew what was happening until it was too late. By the time the guards realized the palace had been infiltrated, most of the people were gone. Not only that, but they set some houses on fire.” She inhaled deeply, struggling to catch her breath as she placed a hand on the blood seeping out. Her gaze locked with mine, and I could see the fire in them as she added, “Please, you need to help. Else the kingdom will be in shambles within minutes.”“That's good.”I whipped my head fast when I heard Blue's whispers, my eyes narrowing as I glared hard at him. “What the fucking hell are you talking about??!” I gritted out, barely holding back my rage. “Do you even know what you are saying? Your kingdom is in danger, and you aren't even doing anything about it?!”Fred lifted his shoulde
I felt a thrill through me as we stood in front of the door. Scarlet stayed behind us, watching with her gaze fixed on me. She could tell I was the one spearheading everything. Had it not been for my decision to return to the kingdom, my mates wouldn't have done that. “Thank you, my queen,” she whispered, smiling gratefully at me as she pressed the wound on her abdomen. She didn't look to be in much pain. At least not how it was when she rushed towards us. “That's the least I can do.” For a kingdom that chose the worst possible moment to call us back. If only they had a little patience. Tomorrow didn't seem to be a bad time. A knock on our front door caused me to turn, frowning as I exchanged looks with my mates, who didn't look surprised by the knock. I could tell they were expecting whoever was at the other end. “She's here,” Fred said, turning his gaze towards the kitchen door as the front door opened. “Who?”“Me.” I was shaken up when my eyes landed on the last person I tho
I stepped through the doorway, my mates, Blue and Fred, flanking me, and my friend, Chris, by my side. Scarlet was the last to walk in through the door, with her right palm pressing on her wound. Together, we faced the chaos going on in the throne room. There were cries as bodies piled on the floor, the ground slippery from the blood on it. I stood shocked still as I watched the scene, unable to do anything at the moment. I didn't know what I expected to see, but it wasn't this. Never this. At least not this gruesome.I had never seen such a sight before. The blood and the screams tore at my heart, causing me to take some steps back. Had it not been for Scarlett standing behind me, I would have run for the door, scared by the crowd and the chaos. I would have ran to safety, away from the pungent smell of the air, and the blood gushing from the wounds on the fallen men. “What the hell is going on?” I whispered, my voice barely audible above the screams and ruckus. Blue growled low i
EPILOGUE It was a rocky year for all of us, but we persevered. It took months to convince the people of the kingdom to accept hybrids. A fight broke out about it, but luckily, everything was sorted out before things could escalate any further. Though there were people who were still against the hybrids, they weren't enough to stop my mates from passing a new law. The hybrids didn't need to hide anymore. With the law, they were free to live among the others or stay back in their town. They chose the latter. Having made a life in the small town, they were reluctant to leave. Though they occasionally went to the kingdoms to purchase things, they still returned to their home. To them, it was more than home. The sanctuary my mates created for them was the first place they ever felt safe in.With the kingdom in peace, we had our wedding in the throne room, not the old one, of course. Because of the number of deaths in the palace and the bad memories my mates had of the place, they pulled
It shocked my mates when they returned to the palace, to learn what happened. They were sad they missed out on the fight and on an opportunity to show me how badass they were. It was funny, though. I had seen them fight and knew what they were capable of, yet they wanted to show me they were good. It wasn't until I spoke with Devon that I realized what was going on with them.With how powerful I had become, my mates were trying to let me know they could also protect me, even though I was more powerful than they were. I thought it was cute. They didn't feel intimidated by my powers. They only wanted me to know I could rely on them most times, that I didn't have to act all badass with them. After the fight, everything returned to normal. Well, as normal as our family could get. Chrys was still reluctant to start her studies fully and the darling always kept Chris on her toes. The babies weren't helping at all. The bigger they got, the more it became impossible for us to hold them down.
“Fancy meeting you again, Bella,” he said with a smile, with his arms folded. “How have you been? I trust you loved my gift?” “Give my kids back!” I snarled at him but didn't walk towards him, cautious to use my powers as he placed my kids in a large stroller in front of him, all of them sleeping. Seeing Chrys sleeping made me realize the sound I thought I heard didn't come from her. It was either that or he put her to sleep and used her to get to me. “Your kids?” He looked down at my sleeping children. “It's a pity they are so cute. Killing them would be so heart-wrenching.” He smirked. “What do you want with them? You have a vendetta against me not —” “No. I don't have any problem with you," he started before his gaze went to my bloody hands, and his face twisted with rage. “I didn't have a business with you, but now I have.” He narrowed his eyes at the body on the floor. “Imelda was the perfect henchman. Now that you have killed her, I have no option but to avenge her. Howev
I dragged the only living attacker as he led us to their hideout. When I realized my kids were truly missing, I lost it. Luckily, Chris kept one man alive, so Devon could control him, which was how we learned of their hideout. Whoever the fuck they were, didn't know what was coming for them. Devon and Chris flanked me as we stepped into the compound. I wasn't scared. That was an emotion I wasn't concerned about. All I could feel was the deep rage that started from my head and continued down until it reached my toes. I wanted nothing but to rip them to shreds for laying their filthy hands on my babies. The minute the men patrolling the perimeters saw us, they startled, approaching. Seeing we were just three, they must have thought they could defeat us, not knowing how badass we were. Devon and Chris went to work while I continued to drag the man towards the door. Reaching there, I threw him on it, causing the doors to fall from the weight. With the man out of the way, I stormed int
Just like Devon said, I fell asleep a few seconds after he left. Unlike his words, when he made it sound like I could fight that sleep if I wanted, I couldn't do that. The pull was so strong I didn't even know I slept until I got up later. I still didn't know the time, so there was no way to know how long I slept. I got down from the bed. Surprisingly, the pain I felt when I woke up before I took the pills had disappeared. I felt like a new person like I could take anyone up. I walked over to the window and drew the curtains, wincing as the bright light fluttered into the room. I hastily closed the curtains, rubbing my eyes. If I'd known it was this bright outside, I wouldn't have attempted to open the window. I would have stayed in my room with the dim lights. Hissing at the sun as if it were the reason I opened the curtains, I walked into the bathroom to have my bath. My body felt like it hadn't felt the touch of water on it for days now, and I didn't like that feeling. After m
BELLAI was in total darkness, roaming through it, looking for the light, for a chance to break through, to find my way out, but I couldn't. I felt my body moving, but my eyes were shut. The only thing I knew was the intense rage I felt at the world for keeping me bottled up. For years, I had wished to be let out from the confines to show the world who I was, but I was kept down, tied, and unable to move and use my powers. At that moment, with the darkness swirling around me and enveloping me, making me one with it, I wanted to let go, to merge myself with the rage, to become one with it and to let the feeling wrap around me. However, the thoughts of my babies' smiles as I held them, the whispers of my mates' voices as they told me how much they loved me, the smirk that was always on Chris's face when she had something up her sleeves and the embarrassed smile Devon always sent my way, forced me to snap my eyes open… For a moment, my thoughts were disoriented. I didn't know where I
The moment our Bunny heard our call, she turned her focus on us, causing us to freeze as we stared into her eyes that were as black as the night, like a bottomless void. She threw Devon away like he was a doll and turned to face us, with her lips pulled up in a snarl. "Bunny?” We took cautious steps towards her, ignoring Devon, who was rubbing his neck, and coughing. “What's wrong with you?” I asked, lifting my right hand towards her, only to be startled when she attacked me. I tried to defend myself, but she was too fast. She delivered a series of swift punches and kicks, each one landing with a precision that stunned me. Bella had never been this violent. Not only that, but she had never learned to fight.Letting out a gasp, I stumbled backwards, trying to create some distance between us, but she was relentless. Our Bunny was like a new person. With her claws extended and her fangs down. Though she wasn't in a partial shift, it felt as if she was. Blue attempted to intervene, b
FREDWho would have guessed there would be hundreds of hybrids in a world where unions like that were frowned upon? And to think their parents abandoned them after giving birth to the kids. I didn't appreciate that. It stirred anger within me as I thought of the heartless parents who were probably still alive, having the time of their lives while knowing they abandoned their hybrid children after birthing them. It made me wonder why someone would do something like this. Why want to have a child when you couldn't even take care of them? It made little sense to me. Children aren't meant to be discarded after bringing them into the world! As they were on their own when you got intimate with your lover, the least you could do was take care of them. Or better still, give them to those you know would take good care of them. It wasn't fair at all to abandon a child just because you could. After the meeting we had with the hybrids, who assumed this was a trap, for us to get them together b
“Good. Now, focus on your breath and let your mind clear. Imagine a white light filling your body, starting from the crown of your head and flowing down to your toes.” I did as he instructed, feeling my mind calm and my body relax. The white light began to fill me, and I could feel its glow spreading through my veins. It felt like another presence was within me, going around my body as it sought ways to escape. I kept my eyes tightly closed, and my hands clenched at the sides as I tried to keep my focus on the light and the warmth spreading within, as that was what Devon instructed me to do. “Next, I want you to visualize an exit within yourself,” he continued. “This door is locked, but it's the key to unlocking your powers. Imagine yourself standing in front of this door, and focus on the sensation of the lock clicking open.” His voice was calm. Not that loud. It filled my entire body with warmth, one that propelled me forward, urging me to do everything he instructed me to. I
