I didn't realise that I had made such a massive impact on his life that he had fallen head over heels in love with me and everything that happened to try to separate us just added to the possessiveness that he now has for me. I whimper and even though he scared me, Lorelei surprises me when she whispers in my head. “I'm sorry, I could have stopped it, but I wasn't expecting him to react to you messing with him as he did. If I had, then our Royal power would have absorbed and mixed with his not allowing him to order us as he did.” “You’re talking about our Royal power sharing, aren’t you?” “Yes, when we are paying attention when Zachariah or Morpheus releases his Royal power, our Royal power responds and mixes with his until it is then absorbed by us.” I snap my eyes to Zachariah as I see him move, but it seems to only be, so he is now crouched in front of me but is now blocking me from Fa
Zachariah is the first to get out of the shower, grab a towel, and walk out of the bathroom. I take just a moment longer and think about what happened at the cliff and then what Morpheus had said about me being able to make him obey me as well. I understand how easily it came to Morpheus to give the order to obey and not think twice about it. He is an Alpha; he has always been in control, always the leader. Me, I don’t; I wasn’t born or raised a leader and I had made myself into a fighter, a warrior, but now do I have it in me to do what Zachariah and everyone else needs me to be? I am startled out of my head when Zachariah steps to the door and says, “Come on, Yasmine, we need to go.” I turn off the water and step out of the shower, grabbing the other towel that is hanging on the hook on the wall. I wrap it around me and then walk out of the bathroom, through the bedroom, and into the closet. I quickly pull on some panties and a bra, before smiling and grabbing a pair of my jeans
I giggle but then frown until I look into his eyes and see that they are a mix of both him and Morpheus. He then moves his hand and slides it over my cheek as he continues, “I love that you chose to wear it, even though my scent is embedded into you. I love smelling me on you…” He then leans in and gently places a soft kiss on my lips. He then smiles, as there is a very distinctive knock on the door. Zachariah slides his hand from my cheek as he steps back and then walks over to the door, opening it. I laugh as he then has to step back from the door as a little body comes running in. I laugh again as I crouch down and that same little body runs straight into my arm. I gather him up in my arms as I stand. He wraps his little arms around my neck and gives me a soft little kiss on the cheek. I then rub my nose against his as I say, “What are you doing up so early, little munchkin?” “The pack needs me, mummy, just like Jasper did when we got here…” “Okay, little munchkin, just make s
I don’t think as my training kicks in and I run to see what is going on. I am surprised when I see lots of werewolves in both their wolf and human forms. However, it's not the wolves that are attacking. Each human form seems to have a small pistol-like weapon. I watch in horror for a few moments as they lift these weapons, pointing them at not only the guards but everyone. It seems to happen in slow motion, as the pistols shoot and the person they are pointing at then falls to the ground. I am startled into action when my wolf makes me move as one of those pistols is pointed and fired in my direction. I dodge whatever they are shooting, run and attack the human-wolf that shot at me. I fight him, but once I have the upper hand, I don’t kill him but knock him out. I then pick up the pistol and take a very close look at it, but it doesn’t look like a normal gun. I then search his pockets and find pull out a black pouch thing. I open it and I am surprised to find tranquillizer darts. an
I see the argument they both are having within themselves, but I stand my ground. If I lose Zachariah, then there is no point in fighting the Demon’s contract claim over me. Zachariah snaps his eyes to mine, making me realise that I had sent what I was feeling over our bond. He closes the gap between us and has his hand on my cheek before I realise that he has actually moved. He then whispers, “I will not let you give yourself to him. I will not let him take our daughters. We do this together.” Tears sting my eyes once more and again I feel like a sook as it is normally only my temper that I can’t control. Zachariah chuckles again as he steps in even closer, pulls me into his body and places a soft kiss on my lips before surprising me and lifting me up. He then carries me back over to the bed and lays me down. As he then steps back, I look at Ava as she says. “I won’t stop you going after Malik. however between then and now you will need to rest or you will be having these pups ear
I flinch as one hand touches my arm and the other moves my hair, hooking it behind my ear before placing it on my cheek. Tears sting my eyes as I don’t know if I can trust what I am feeling. I feel the tingles and sparks telling me that Zachariah is touching me, but then I feel his hands and even without the tingles and sparks, they cause pleasure to run through my body.I shiver, thinking and feeling like I have just done what I said that I would never do, and that is, give my body willingly to someone else other than Zachariah. My breaths then start to shallow and I am finding it hard to breathe. I feel the one touching me move and flinch even more, which makes it even harder to breathe.I try to take breath after breath as I try to apologise to Zachariah for what just happened and for what I am sure will happen every day and more than once for the rest of eternity. Then, all of a sudden, the tingles, sparks and hands are gone. I then feel two little hands and a slight warming.With
When I wake, I am wrapped tightly within Zachariah’s arms and he has nothing on other than his boxers, allowing my hands to slide effortlessly over the skin and muscles of his chest. I smile as I feel and then hear the low rumble of his growl as he slowly wakes. He tightens his arms, pulling me closer as I look up and into his now-open eyes.I then lift my head as much as I can and look around. However, I don’t see who I am looking for. I let my head fall back to my pillow, which happens to be his arm, and whisper,“Where is Darius?”“I put him to bed not long after you fell asleep on me.”I smile, “So that is why my hands are touching bare skin instead of the t-shirt you were wearing before.”“Yeah, well, when I returned you seemed to be in one of your nightmares again and I climbed in wearing my clothes. You tried to hit me, so I stripped. I allowed you to feel my skin and the tingles and spar
I look over at Zachariah and then back at the slightly older lady, a little confused as I ask, “I understand that Summer was meant to be a powerful Witch but still why take her so young?” “Everyone knew who she was and who her mother was and with a little of her witch power already surfacing, I knew she was special, hence the protection circle around our coven. However, what I didn’t realise back then but when I felt her come of age, I knew. She was her father's daughter…” “What do you mean, her father's daughter?” “Her father was one of Werewolf Royal blood, which, of course, didn’t show itself until she came of age. This made her a Witch-Werewolf hybrid…” “But wouldn’t her wolf be more at the front than the witch?” Zachariah asks, “Normally yes, but as you know, even a normal werewolf doesn’t really get their wolf until they are between the age of 13 and 18, making it possible for the witch's magic inside her to grow before the age of 13. Now the other thing that made her even
>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
