Zachariah breaks his kiss for the first time since we started and trails more kisses along my jaw and down my neck. I lean my head back, letting out another low moan and allowing him more access to my neck and the top of my chest. This also moves the position of my hips, allowing him to slide in deeper every time I lifted my hips. He then growls low and, using his hand that is still on my hip, guides me to increase the speed of my hips. At his prompting, I continue to slowly increase my hips, not only faster but a little harder as well. I move my hand from his shoulder to his cheek, applying a little pressure, making him stop his kisses and look up at me. I then kiss him, making him lean back as I then trail my own kisses along his jaw, down his neck and then along his shoulder until I get to my mark. I kiss, suck, and then bite down on my mark. I smile as he then tightens his arm around me more, adding thrusts of his own hips to the movement of mine. He growls, "Do that again..."
I turn to Raphael, "Is he always like that?" "Who? Zach or Alro?" "Both..." "Zach assesses and then reacts to each Alpha differently and then acts accordingly you will get used to it as there are some Alpha's and even Luna's that you can trust and others you will not so you must be very careful... Now Alpha Arlo he is one of those beasts that believe even someone's mate is fair game and if he can get his hands on you, he will not stop until he is satisfied..." "He gives me the creeps, and there seems to be something else here. My panther is going nuts in my head telling me that there is danger close by!" "I wouldn't be surprised as we have been followed since we left the dining room..." Raphael leads me into what seems like a guest bedroom and locks the door behind us. He points to the bathroom and says, "I will not be far. Don't close the door..." I nod and enter the bathroom. I don't feel sick now but I use the toilet, anyway. I then wash my hands and splash my face.
I slowly get back to my feet and face him as he walks back into the centre of the room. He smiles, "I have heard rumours about Alpha Zachariah's mate..." "Really? I hope it wasn't all bad..." "Oh, no, nothing bad just that she was one hell of a fighter until Alpha Valentino broke her and now she is one hell of a submissive and will cower from any and all males, especially one in a place of power..." He allows his Alpha power to flow through the room. "Wow... You have heard a lot, haven't you?" His Alpha power doesn't bother or affect me... "Yes! Now, show me that nice submissive side and come here..." I smile, "Um... Why would I do that?" "I am an Alpha and I told you to... I want you to pleasure me... I want you to make me release inside your mouth..." "Ewe... Gross... I am not putting your thing in my mouth... I don't know where it has been!" He growls at me, "I told you to come here! Now do as you are told!" I go to take a step towards him, but then take one back as I say
I pull on my arms as a wave of pain goes through me, but they won't move, instead metal digs into my wrists. I look up and see that my wrists are cuffed and chained to what looks like a headboard of a bed. I scream as another wave of pain passes through me. I then hear a male's voice "PUSH!" "Just a little more, my little shifter, and then I will make you mine!" I wake with a start and, covered in sweat; I sit up and rub my wrists as the lingering feel of the chains seems to stick with me. I look around and noticed that I was not in the SUV or in Zachariah's warm arms anymore. I look down and see the beautiful gold silk nightdress Rania gave me. I smile, knowing that Zachariah would have changed me when we arrived. I realise that we must be at the next pack as I look around the room and don't recognise anything. I slip from the bed and find the bathroom. I walk in and turn on the water. I wait until the water is warm and then slip off the nightdress and step under the spray of wat
After I had made contact, they both growled and the next one joins in grabbing me from behind. I struggle a little in his arms as the original one takes a couple of steps closer and growls,"I think that is game over, little female. Time for you to go back to the kitchen..."I smile at him, and as soon as he is in reach I use the beast holding me and kick out, catching not only his privates but his chin and knocking him to the ground. I then throw my elbow back and hear a slight crack as I fracture his rib. My sudden attack on him makes him loosen his hold, allowing me to slip down and out of his grip.Once I am on the ground, I drop into my crouch and then swing my leg around, knocking the one that grabbed me to the ground. I move quickly, my Lycan providing my panther, and then she lent me some strength as I punch him in the nose, knocking him out.I then roll over and off of him and back onto my feet. I face the original beast once more as he is now back on his feet. He looks over
When I wake the next morning, I am a little sore from my encounter with Nolan and his friends, but I feel good. I go to move, but 2 arms tighten slightly around me. I smile and turn over to look into Zachariah's eyes, but he still has them closed. I lift my hand and lightly run my fingers over his face, starting at his forehead, sliding them across and then down, moving the slightly longer bit of his fringe off of his face and behind his ear.He growls low and tightens his arms a little more, but still doesn't open his eyes. I move my fingers back up and do it again, only this time I follow his cheek. I then slide my fingers down the side of his neck and over his shoulder, making him moan as I skim over my mark. I lift my head and study my mark as I haven't had a real chance to look at it since I put it there. It is similar to his, but mine has both a panther and a wolf entwined with a moon rising behind them like mine in the shape of 2 crowns.I smile, knowing for some reason he is n
I am surprised when I venture down and outside the packhouse to find that there are pack members everywhere running around putting up decorations here and there. I move more out onto the porch and then sit down on the steps and just watch. I scan the yard in front of me and smile when I find Zachariah.He is helping not only the males but some of the females and then he helps and plays with young ones as well. I absentmindedly move my hand down to my stomach, thinking that one day soon he will be helping and playing with our pup like that. I jump a little at the sound of Luna Mary's voice beside me."It is a sight, isn't it?""What is?""To see Zachariah so relaxed and just being himself for a change, instead of the Alpha everyone expects him to be...""Mary, can I ask you something?"'Of course, my dear...""Were you human when you met Alpha Jasper?"She smiles and looks at the other end of the yard. I follow her gaze and spot, Alpha Jasper, running around with some of the slightly o
He then picks her up, turns and walks away, heading over to where Mary was standing talking to some of the other older females. I jump a little as I feel a hand on my arm. I turn away from watching Zachariah to face the teen females that had now gathered closer to me. One asks shyly, "May we see?" I look at her, confused until I see her eyes flick to my shoulder. I look down at it and sigh as I see the rip. I then smile and say, "Of course." I move my blouse just a little more, exposing Zachariah's mark completely but keeping my scars covered, I really am not in the mood to explain where they came from. I smile as they all take another surprised intake of breath, as the one that asked to see says, "So it is true, you are his mate..." "Yep..." "What's he like?" "Have you had sex with him?" "Is he as unforgiving to you as he is to everyone else?" I smile at all their questions but snap my eyes to one young female as she says, "Did he force you?" I step up to her, lower my vo
>YASMINE“So this is what it feels like to die… I thought it would have hurt more…” “But we aren’t truly dead, are we?” Zelda asks. “Yes, but No… We are in the in-between. The nothingness between life and death.” Lorelei answers. “So, how long we here for?” I ask, looking around at the endless darkness around us. “We are being held to our body through the power of the ancient dagger. So as long as nothing has happened to Zachariah, then we will return to our body once he removes the dagger and Summer performs the resurrection ritual...” “What happens if something has happened to Zachariah and he can’t remove the dagger and someone else does?” Zelda asks, getting more worried. “I don’t know and I hope that we never find out…” Lorelei says, finally not having the answer. “You have nothing to worry about, my daughter. Everything is as it should be. You can and will return to your loved ones soon.” I turn in the dark and just manage to spot the blue glow as it fades into the dar
The Final Battle Continues... She was off limits; she was the Masters; she was Kastrath's. The general forced the lower Demon back to their world as he landed and then took his place lying over the beautiful female that will be his Queen. Yasmine struggles against the new Demon but stops rather quickly as she feels the difference between the Demon that was just holding her to the one that is now. She looks into his bright red eyes and he seems to smirk at her before leaning down and running his double-forked tongue over her skin. Yasmine shivers in disgust and starts struggling again as the general leans down and pushes his rough, demonic voice into her head, “You, my dear female, are lucky that you are already claimed for if you weren't your life from now on, would be a nightmare for you, however; pure hell for me…” Yasmine tenses as she is then hit by her gift opening and entering into the Demon on
The Final Battle Continues…Zachariah wakes slowly, tightening his arms and only finding air. he reaches his hand out to be met with cold sheets. He sits up and looks around. He smiles to himself when he sees the light on in the bathroom and hears the shower running.Zachariah slips out of bed and walks over to the bathroom with every intention of joining his mate. However, the scene in front of him as he enters has him bewildered.He moves quickly, stepping into the shower and crouching in front of her, first grabbing her hands, stopping her from doing any more damage to her skin. Then he places one hand on her cheek as he scans her body, assessing the damage, stopping at the two bites he can see on the top swell of both breasts.He lets out a low growl, bringing her eyes to his. Zachariah doesn't get to say or do anything as Yasmine's resolve breaks completely and she jumps at him, whimpering."I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I coul
The Final Battle Begins!THIRD PERSON… Kastrath paces in his castle's realm. He had watched Young Yasmine live and grow. He had been watching the panther shifter bloodline and had known who and what she was from the moment she was born and had been watching over her ever since.Kastrath watched as she grew into a headstrong, fiery female that would make him proud and would be worthy of standing next to him as his Queen.He had known the moment Queen Margaret and King Jason had summoned him, that deep into the future they would provide something he had been looking for…Something that he had been searching for a millennium.Now he knew that he had to wait until after her mate had changed her first, forthe real her to be released. However, Kastrath hadn't taken into account just how powerful the Moon Goddesses' mate bond would be between them o
I struggle against his hold, trying to push him away from me until he tightens his arms around me and whispers in a low tone,“Now, now, my Queen. I am only here to congratulate you and to remind you that you can avoid all the bloodshed to come if you will just say yes and come with me now…”Even with the anger and conviction in my voice, as I say,“Never…”He just laughs, then moves one of his hands to my cheek as he takes a deep breath and says,“Mmm… So much fire… Just a few more weeks, my Queen and you will be mine.”He then holds me tighter against him as he presses his lips to mine before disappearing into his tentacles of grey smoke, leaving me to collapse to my knees as the smoke disappears. Zachariah runs over to where I am and helps me back to my feet as he whispers,“What happened? One minute you were there dancing in my arms, the next you were gone
I then place a soft kiss on his forehead as he steps back and into Summer's arms. She gets to her feet and bows before her and the others disappear and enter the throne room from another door. I stand up straight and take a deep breath before giving a slight nod to the two warriors that are once again standing guard at the doors.I hear the music as the doors open stop and the Royal announcement chimes ring out I take a step and enter the room and freeze just inside the door, I still hate being the centre of attention as everyone steps aside and bows, revealing a very handsome Zachariah standing in the middle of the room wearing a traditional Royal black tux. He smiles at me and opens our private link,“Yasmine, look at me and only at me. Remember…” With his voice in my head, I smile as a quick flash of the last time we did something like this and he had asked me in front of the whole pack to be his. I walk slowly toward him
I feel the bed dip and then feel his fingers lightly touch under my chin. He applies a little pressure, making me lift my head and look at him. Tears sting my eyes and one seems to escape. He then moves his hand to my cheek and wipes away the tear as he whispers,“It’s okay… Yasmine, it is a natural response. We didn’t get to spend the time we should have with them once they were born. So your protective instincts to do with them will be heightened for a little while.”I then snap my eyes to the door once more as there is a knock. Zachariah gives me a kiss on the cheek and then gets off the bed. As he leaves the room, he says,“Relax, I’ve got this. You lay down with our pups.”He closes the doors behind him and I do as he says and I lie down, wrapping my arms around my pups. I take a deep breath of their scents and then drift off into an exhausted sleep.**Dream** I look like a
As Zachariah talks to Jasper and the other Alpha, I walk up to Mary and give her a hug. When she pulls back, she steps to the side. With her arm around my waist, she says, “Yasmine, I would like to introduce you to Alpha Isaac's mates, Leah and Nyla.” “It’s nice to meet you both.” They both bow and then I think it's Nyla who steps a little closer and places her hand on mine as she whispers, “I am glad that Alpha Zachariah found you. He deserves to be happy, because if it wasn’t for him, then I wouldn’t have met my mate or found my sister…” I feel as all her walls drop and she opens herself up, and just as Darius said I can’t control it as my power flows from me into her and I see everything that was her life, I can’t stop the tears that fill my eyes and then slide down my cheeks at all the suffering she went through at the hands of Valentino. As with Alpha Clive, Zachariah seems to be standing behind me when my power returns to me and I sway on my feet. Zachariah wraps his arms a
I look around the room at the pack that is in the room casting its vote. Most of them have stopped and are looking at me and Zachariah. Zachariah follows my gaze as it passes over the room. He smiles, turns so that he is now facing the room and says,“If you will excuse us, but family is calling. Please continue to cast your votes.”When he turns back to me, I look at him with wide eyes and whisper, shocked,“But don’t we have to be here for this?”“Technically, yes, but we haven’t seen much of Darius since we have been here, and I can feel that being with him is what you need, so that is what we will do. We can count and look at the votes tomorrow.”Then, without another word, he steps up to me, grabs me around the waist, throws me over his shoulder and then walks out of the throne room. I lift my head just as he steps out of the doors to see Alpha Clive with a smirk on his face before he turns his attention back to his pack and the voting going on around him. True to his word, Zach
