2024-10-29 19:42:56Valentino runs the knife, making a small cut along my arm. I gasp at the shock and sting of it, but I do not scream. I smile a little to myself at his confused and disappointed look. I guess he was expecting a little girl, one that will break quickly and easily, but I can stand more pain than most girls and I don't intend to give him the satisfaction of hearing me scream. At the sight of my slight smile, he tightens his hand around my throat a little, making it harder to breathe.
He then makes another cut, but he starts this one from my left shoulder and goes down at an angle, stopping once he gets to the middle of my chest between my breasts. When I didn't make a sound other than the gasp as he first started the cut, he passes the knife back to the other beast and moves real close to me, whispering once more,
"What are you to him? What is his weakness?"
I struggle to answer him as he tightens his hand a little more around my throat.

Valentino growls again as he slaps me hard before turning his back to me and facing the young girl that is still standing just inside my cell. He says something to her; she nods, and he leaves. She follows him out but is back a short time later, carrying a bottle of something and a tube of something else. As she gets closer to me, she whispers,"I'm not meant to talk to you, but you probably wouldn't trust what I was trying to give you if I didn't..." I just watch her as she continues to get closer, she takes the lid off of the bottle and moves it to my lips as she says,"This is a healing tonic. It will help with the pain. It will also give you what you need to stay alive."I shake my head. She sighs, lowers the bottle from my lips and places it on her own, and takes a small mouthful. Lowering it from her lips and facing me so I can see it in her mouth, and then she actually swallows it, showing me her empty mouth afterwards. As she steps back up to me and lift

I drift in and out. I feel like I am trapped in water. I fight my way to the surface but can't seem to stay there as something pulls me back down into the darkness again. I fight my way to the surface again and this time I can hear voices. I can't make out what they are saying but at least one of them sounds familiar.I then get pulled back into that darkness again, the next time I fight to the surface I wait to be pulled back but I seem to stay this time, I then wait for the cold and pain that would run through my body after each session with Valentino but that wasn't there either. I start to wonder if I am dreaming as I am laying on something soft, I am covered and I am warm instead of cold. I then panic a little as a warm arm moves over my side and the hand stops laying flat on my abdomen.I flinch a little in pain as he hits a recent slash from the whip and I then shiver in fear, thinking, did he finally do it? Did Valentino take me out of my torture cell and take

I drift in and out of the darkness until I can finally hold onto the light, every time I have scratched the surface it has been with Zachariah's arms wrapped tightly around me. This time is different, he is not holding me and I hear yelling, it takes me a little until I am able to focus on what is going on."Jade drop it!""No! What did you expect Zach? You kiss Vivian in front of your mate and then act as if she doesn't exist at dinner that same night... Did you really expect her not to run?""She is my mate! She belongs by my side...""That's right by your side, not just in your bed...""Jade!!... I nearly lost her..." He stopped yelling and actually sounded a little sad"Why haven't you turned her?""I..""Zach, this is not like you. You have always taken what you want, what is different here?"Jade stops yelling too, changing her tone to being concerned rather than angr

With the help of Jade, Raphael, and Zachariah, I slowly make a reasonable recovery. Jade helped me to get my attitude and confidence back. As we built on our friendship, Raphael became my personal trainer and helped me trust a guy other than Zachariah. We started with some light stuff in the bedroom. Raphael then moved us to a small section on the training field, away from everyone else.Then once I was stronger, Raphael moved our training to the wildflower field so we could do more with my private training against their kind, getting me back to where I was before Valentino got his hands on me. Raphael would even get Zaire to join us occasionally to help with not only fighting one or two of their kind, but to also expand on who I trust.Now, Zachariah, he was much more personal. He would wake me the same way every morning. To start with, I would flinch and struggle until he could convince me that it was him and not Valentino. He started slowly, holding me tight a

It takes her a little while to realize that what she is doing isn't working, so she turns her attention back to Jade."Alpha Miss, what can I do for you today?""We are here for her today. I was thinking, some of the top up with a little fringe hanging down and then have light curls flowing down the back..."It is then that she turns her attention to me. I watch in the mirror at her face as it gets that normal look of disgust before she covers it. She then undoes the bun I have placed at my neck, she runs her fingers through my hair making me shiver as I continue to watch her in the mirror and still see the disgust in her eyes and the way she is trying not to touch me very much. She goes through the steps of washing my hair, she then partly dries it, gives it a little trim, and then does what Jade asked her to do.She chatted to Jade the whole time while occasionally looking over at Zaire, who was sitting on one of the chairs by the door

Once back at the mansion, Zaire carries my bags up to Zachariah's room while Jade heads to the kitchen for something to eat. Zaire repeats what he asked outside the hairdressers."You never answered me. Is that how you are treated here?"I sigh and hang my dress for later on the door of the closet. "Yes, even the ones inside the mansion...""Why haven't you said anything?""And what would telling anyone really have done?"He looks at me but doesn't say anything else, putting a couple of shopping bags onto the table by the window. He surprises me by moving and standing in front of me. He then gets down on one knee, lowers his head, and says,"Luna Yasmine, I pledge my loyalty to you, and I will protect you with my life."I lift my hand and put it softly on his shoulder. "Zaire, your loyalty is to Zachariah, not me!"Zaire lifts his head and looks at me with a smile on his face. "My loyal

He steps up to me and places his hand on my cheek, and whispers, "You look breathtaking!!""Thank you!"I blush shyly. I can never get over how he makes me feel whenever he touches me. He gives me a quick, gentle kiss and then turns to Raphael. "Is the car ready?""Yes Alpha! It is parked out front, there will be another car following with your guards in it for the night...""Raphael, I don't need guards. I have told you that before..." Zachariah says with a slight growl,"That is true, but you are going out with our future Luna and you need to be protected..." Now I growl a little at him. I didn't even know I could. I step out of Zachariah's hand and walk up behind Raphael. I take him by surprise, grabbing him, sweeping his legs, and making him end up on the floor in front of the fridge. I put my foot lightly on his throat, stating,"So you don't believe after all your retraining and my confrontat

I melt into him as he deepens the kiss. I don't realize that we are back until Zachariah starts to move, getting out of the car, still holding me in his lap, and then carrying me bridal style into the mansion. He doesn't break the kiss as he makes his way through the mansion and up to his room.He opens the door and steps inside, shutting the door behind him with his foot. He then moves further into the room and slowly lowers my legs, placing my feet carefully on the floor, but still holding me tight up against him. He then slides his hands up my back to my shoulders and then down my arms, hooking his fingers into the short sleeves of my dress and taking it with them. Once his hands reach mine, he lets go of my dress and it falls the rest of the way to the floor. I hesitantly lift my shaky hands to his chest and slowly start to undo the buttons on his shirt.Once I have undone all the buttons, I slide my hands under the material going up his chest and over his shoulder

>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

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
