Jade’s pov

Awakened by Monica holding a cup out at me with a grin on her face I sat up yawning and stretching.

“Wake yourself and drink this. It will perk you up and make you feel like a million bucks,” she insisted.

Taking it from her fingers I asked her if it was coffee and she made a goofy facial expression and told me no.

Sniffing the contents it smelled alright so I took a sip and quickly drained it all.

Smacking my lips I thanked her and handed the cup back.

“Get up dear, we have a lot to get accomplished today,” she said in encouragement.

Feeling a warmth starting to spread throughout my body I narrowed my eyes as my cheeks flushed.

‘“I feel hot and very exhausted. I just want to sleep,” I muttered as she quickly felt my forehead.

“You're burning up, crap,” she cursed and quickly rushed out of the room.

Closing my eyes I fell into a dream-like state and was aware of Monica rushing back in biting her nails nervously with Gabby thumbing through an ancient spell book.

  • The Lycan King's Timid Mate    Chapter 8

    Jade’s pov “Jade, wait up,” I heard Monica shout as I reached the entrance of the establishment. Rushing to my side she said, “It's technically not open yet but they will allow you in when accompanying Conri or me,” she explained as she reached out past me and rapped on the door. The door opened and an old man spied Monica and grinned. “Hey sweetie, are you coming for breakfast?” “You Betcha Derek, you are the only man I know that can cook like a Michelin star chef,” she chuckled then introduced me to her friend, explaining how I wished to work. His kind eyes looked at me as he nodded. “She's pretty and will earn much if she can waitress,” he said firmly. Nodding I told him that I had experience and could easily carry a tray full of drinks. “Great, come on in and Monica go to your table and I will whip up a nice morning feast for you both,” Derek said with a wink to my dear friend. Putting her arm around my shoulders she led me inside and told the man that Conri w

    Jade’s pov Seeing Monica sitting in her living room area of our shared suite she grinned up at me. “Did he ask you to go see the flowers?” Nodding, I told her he said that it was just a friendly outing when I asked him if it was a date,” I murmured, causing her to roll her eyes. “He doesn't know how to behave around females that don't fling themselves at him. Jade, don't make it easy for the fool. Let him work for it,” she asserted and I chuckled. “I'm not sure what you expect me to do Monica. I'm not an expert with men and I may not go with him,” I stated disparagingly. “Oh dear, the king is interested in you, whether he is my son or not you can't refuse the king!” Side-eyeing her I huffed as I sat beside her on the couch. “Will he be aggressive with me if I thwart his advances? I'm not sure if I am ready for that,” I explained my concern. Days before I told her that my heartbeat increased and my arm hair raised in Conri's presence. She had encouraged me to pursue h

    Jade’s pov Once Monica was finished with my hair she beamed at how lovely I looked. “You're going to knock his socks off,” she laughed and as I looked at myself in her full-length mirror I blinked at the site. “I look different,” I mumbled softly as I turned to see my profile. “You look like you, Jade, just more refined,” Monica giggled. The door opened to her room and I heard Conri say, “Holy crap, you're stunning!” Seeing him wearing gray sweatpants and an oversized flannel with a t-shirt underneath I glanced down at myself with a frown. Side-eyeing Monica, I huffed. ‘“I'm overdressed,” I growled. She hurried toward her son and shooed him off telling him to change. “Dress up, you silly boy!” I covered my chuckle with my closed fist. “Monica, we are just going out to look at flower fields, it's not a formal situation,” I giggled. Shaking her head she sighed. “Still, you deserve more than his casual attire,” she stated firmly and I nodded slightly. Inha

    Jade’s pov Finishing up the simple lunch Conri said something that stopped me cold. “Your father and Barron have been searching for you. Now that I know your entire story I am certain that it's due to the money your father received,” he huffed in annoyance. “Have they come to your pack,” I asked in fear. Shaking his head he explained that his guards informed him yesterday that it was only the younger male that had been poking around. Shuddering about Barron I frowned. Thinking about it I wondered if something had happened to my dad. Looking at Conri I inquired, “Can you check on my father's pack through the Moon Council's website?” Nodding he said, “Certainly we can both check once we get back to my home office but the website doesn't get very detailed about individuals.” ‘“I just want to check that my father is still breathing. It would give that much. I know he treated me poorly but Barron's family are notorious for ending others,” I muttered. “Yeah, a Phillips mu

    Jade’s pov Sniffing the air in my sleep I cracked my eyes open at the unfamiliar scent and screeched at seeing the blonde bimbo hovering over me. Flaying my arms out I connected to something solid and scrambled to my feet. “You brazen bitch! I'm going to gut you, peasant! You don't know who I am,” she rasped in her Lycan's voice and I furrowed my brow at her morphing appearance. “You're crazy I haven't done anything to you! You're right I am not worthy of a Lycan king,” I muttered sourly. Destiny stood up tall and laughed. “You must leave here and NEVER return, little bitch,” she sassed. “MONICA!” I screamed as I dove for my bedroom door and was grabbed by my hair and yanked back. Refusing to be dragged by the lunatic I scratched and kicked her back hoping to cause enough ruckus for Monica to hear. Destiny bit down in my collar bone and I winced from the burning pain it was causing me. Reaching out for a weapon I grabbed the lamp from my nightstand and whipped it ba

    Jade’s pov “Didn't Mister Phillips say she didn't have a wolf,” the guard in the front passenger seat commented as he took a glance back at me. The driver glanced at me through the rearview mirror and said, “She's a Lycan and he probably has never met one.” Rolling my eyes I listened to Elina instruct me to tell them not to give that information to Mister Phillips. “Excuse me, sirs, if the information of me having a Lycan could not be mentioned to Phillips I would be greatly appreciative,” I asserted and they all laughed. “We won't mention it, little lady,” the guard replied from the passenger seat and I thanked him. The drive was long but I continued to watch and mentally store the way to what I had assumed would be my parent's pack. When we turned down the driveway of Alpha Earl Phillip's pack I furrowed my brow in concern. “Why am I being brought here?” “Mister Phillips asked the council that you be brought directly to his residence,” the driver explained. As th

    Jade’s pov “You must sneak out of here,” Elina whined. Hearing a loud commotion I narrowed my eyes and watched the open doorway as my father peeked inside. Surprised to see him after being told he was dead, he looked at me with befuddlement while rubbing his fist. “Are you in on this with your mother,” he asked me while wiping his sweaty brow. “What?! Hell NO,” I snapped then asked if she signed my wedding certificate. Shrugging he growled, “I don't know what that bitch signed, only that she and Barron are lovers and tried to end me. It's a good thing that I have a hard noggin." “I'm not your child anymore, remember you disowned me,” I stammered, giving him a stern look and surprising myself by being so brazen. Shaking his head he looked nervously back out the door before turning back and giving me a frown. “We can argue about this later, Jade. Let's go before that dickhead wakes up and shoots us,” he asserted and looked down at my binds. Pulling my hands out I sto

    Jade’s pov Covering my mouth at seeing the king lying on a large bed shirtless with a bruised face I reluctantly glanced at Monica when she began to speak. “Son, this young female Lycan is named Jade and is going to be your caretaker until you get better while Lawrence and I deal with the pack and your throne,” she asserted and my eyes widened at her in bewilderment. “I will have to bathe him and such,” I whispered harshly. Giving me a knowing grin she nodded telling me of course. “I will see him naked,” I blurted, causing her to shrug and chuckle. My Lycan was howling in excitement while my cheeks burned. Rubbing my standing arm hairs I peeked up at Conri to see that he was studying me with narrowed eyes. I lowered mine from his intense gaze and offered to refresh the damp wash rag draped across his forehead. Swiping it quickly from his head I asked Monica which door was the ensuite. She pointed it out and I scurried inside of it like a frightened mouse. “That male

    Adeline's pov Visiting with my parents, Cian couldn't get enough of my younger siblings. They were chasing each other around my parent's living room and making me giggle. “He looks like a miniature copy of his father,” my mom said and I nodded. “Where is Mister Hawkins now?” My dad asked me. “He's helping the Council deal with some vagrant vampire clan and should be coming here soon,” I answered with a grin. In reality, he was contemplating whether or not he should take his father's throne, but I was supposed to keep it a secret until the Council made the announcement of his decision. Donovan and I both came to understand that nothing would keep us or tear our love apart. I had told Donovan that I would stand beside him no matter his decision. Just like he told me that we were a solid bridge between our two species. I felt nothing but great love and respect for my mate Mister Hawkins. “Are you going to tell him that you are expecting again,” my mom inquired and I gasped at he

    Adeline's pov Feeling a sudden prick on my nipple I looked down at my son and said, “Ouch.” Penny asked me what happened and I told her that I think my child bit me. Laughing she nodded and said, “He probably has tiny fangs and wanted to taste blood.” Lifting his tiny face I ran my fingertip inside of his mouth and felt the tiny fang. It retracted quickly, hiding back into his pink gum making me giggle. “Well, I guess he can drink blood instead of boob milk,” I surmised, and Penny nodded. “Do you want me to look after him while you fetch your mate,” she asked me and I nodded. “I need to shower and get dressed first,” I sighed and frowned at the soiled bed. Seeing my scowl Penny informed me that it would all be replaced by the time I returned, making me smile. “You all are truly the best,” I stated firmly and went to the closet for something to wear. Not believing how quickly my body healed was still mind-boggling even for me, but as I showered, I realized that if I was turne

    Adeline's pov “That Prince Nero is a bossy bastard, and I can't believe that the Moon Council members are going to want him on their council,” Penny said in disgust, and I bit my bottom lip. “Maybe that is why he is here? Perhaps they decided against him,” I muttered sourly and looked at her in worry. “Want me to sneak down the secret servant stairs and eavesdrop on them,” she asked me and I grinned slightly and nodded. “But only if you stay safe,” I stated and she waved off my concern as she scurried to the corner and opened the secret panel. Seeing my shock she laughed. “All vampire homes have secret passageways,” she said softly and disappeared behind the wall as I sat in apprehension. When she came back in the room looking terrified I scooted off the bed and slipped on my pants before even asking what was going on. “They are fighting and it's not looking good for Donovan,” she shrieked as I passed her to go down the secret stairs. “Take me to where they are,” I d

    Adeline's povSitting in Donovan’s luxurious living room and reading a book from his library, Miss Penny, one of his staff, called out for me, and I raised my eyes her way.“A woman named Gabby is on the telephone for you, Miss,” she called out.“Thank you dear, I will take it in here,” I replied and stood awkwardly to go to the side table where the phone was. Being heavily pregnant had caused me to move much more slowly as I made my way to the ornate mahogany table where the house phone sat. After answering, Penny hung up the one in the kitchen.“Hey Gabby, what's up?”“How are you, sweetie? Oh my, it's puppy galore here. Your mom and grandma both had their babies on the same day!”Grinning slightly I asked her what they had and their names. She informed me cheerfully, making me giggle.“How's your fanged hottie,” she inquired about Donovan, and I had to explain that he was off at the Moon Council tying up loose ends so he could retire.“He needs to secure his replacement, so I've be

    Jade's pov Waddling toward the kitchen after leaving Conri in his office with Derek I see Gabby and Monica chatting with each other at the dinette. Seeing my discomfort Monica sighed. “I'm with you, dear; it's the last bit that wears on the old body,” she commented as she patted her baby bump. “You only have one, Monica. There are two in me who are fighting one another for space,” I groaned as I sat down. “You're due at any moment, Highness, are you feeling any pain?” Looking at Gabby I nodded. “Yes, I believe that they are coming very soon,” I growled, and both women laughed happily. “Hopefully Conri can carry me to the infirmary. I don't think I can get there with all the snow on the ground,” I huffed. “We are snowed in, dear; I doubt if Doctor Michael is even at the infirmary and is probably snowed in at his house, too,” Monica said worriedly as she tapped her fingers on the table. “What am I supposed to do? What if I'm going to need a cesarean birth,” I panicked. “Relax

    Jade's pov After leaving our daughter and returning home with Gideon Lander transporting us I felt heartbroken. “She's with her mate, Jade, and will have a great future by his side,” Conri asserted. He was currently at the computer preparing to remove Adeline from the Wolf website. “But, but taking her off seems so fucked up like she no longer exists,” I huffed. “I know that, but she's a vampire, dear, and can't be listed on the wolf's pages anymore,” he stressed, and rubbing my eyes, I sighed. “She will still be listed as our daughter if that helps ease your emotions,” Conri stated, and I grinned. “Yes, that helps,” I mumbled softly as I squeezed his collarbone while standing behind him sitting in his chair. He added that she was no longer the beneficiary of our throne and Gideon would have the Moon Council add her to the vampire site. “They have a vampire website? Can't Mister Hawkins add her to it?” I asked in befuddlement. Chuckling, he shrugged and said, “Hell, if I know

    Adeline's pov When I opened my eyes I felt an emptiness and frowned at the loss of my Lycan. Zoya had been a large part of who I was and my greatest supporter. “Goddess please let me find a way to get her back,” I murmured as I glanced around the dark room. Donovan Hawkins was lying next to me and looked like he was a corpse. He was on his back with his arms crossed on his chest and didn't appear to be breathing. In a panic, I reached out to touch his face and heard a stern male voice telling me that he wiped himself out during the process of converting me. Turning, I see old man Steve stepping into my line of sight, holding out a bag of blood, I assumed. “Drink this before your hunger comes and causes you to go blood crazy, Miss,” he ordered. Taking it from his hand, it felt cool, and I hesitantly brought it to my mouth discovering it was a donor blood bag. “What do I do?” Giving me a daft glance, he sighed. “Your fangs act like tiny straws so bite the bag and let them do t

    Adeline's pov “It's just a form of deep commitment for a vampire to give his ring to his beloved, but if it bothers you that much, you don't have to wear it. I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me,” he stated compassionately, and I gasped. “That's not what I meant, Mister Hawkins! I simply want you to know that I can't shift comfortably with it on my finger, that is all,” I responded. “Why do you need to shift, Adeline? Just remove it before your shift. But still, there is no need for you to shift, not when you are with me,” he growled, making me swallow uncomfortably. “Your eyes are glowing red; please calm down. I don't want us arguing before we marry,” I murmured, and he rubbed his eyes as he turned from me. He exhaled deeply and brought his arm back behind himself. Feeling him reaching out for me, I peeked up at him and saw he looked distraught. “Forgive me for ignoring your Lycan, Adeline. I was too caught up with you being a vampire and my mate to acknowledge th

    Adeline's pov Seeing the ring on my finger my mom pulled my hand toward her to get a better look. “I see you told him yes. Did you tell him about the little one?” Nodding, I said, “Yes, he was excited.” “Daniel is going to wed us at the ball and I will officiate his and Monica's nuptials,” Donovan said assuredly as Monica joined us. She hugged me tightly and neared my ear. “Sorry about you catching Daniel and me in a compromising position,” she said softly, and I eyed her with a smirk. “It looked like you were thoroughly enjoying yourself and I was impressed with your flexibility,” I replied teasingly, causing her to snicker and nod. “So are you going to do your wedding in the black ball gown?” My mom asked me and I shrugged. “I don't see why not. It's lovely, and I am certainly not an innocent bride since I'm carrying a child,” I commented, and Donovan piped up and said that my dress would match his suit perfectly. Elbowing him I said, “I'm sure that you will be very hot an
