This is troubling news, but it is not the most urgent thing at the moment. I look at Zachariah and then at Summer. I then say,“That is something to worry about another day. We have something else we have to do first…”“You are right. I am going to research and see if I can get a copy of the spell Lorelei is talking about and I will need to find a sacred place to perform the spell under the Full Moon.”Summer then gets to her feet, pulling Kai with her. They then bow and leave the office, Kai shutting the door behind him. Zachariah moves me on his lap so that I am now straddling his thighs. He places his hands on my cheeks and leans his forehead to mine as he says,“I will never let you go, Yasmine... You’re Mine!”A shiver runs through me at those words and I close my eyes as a flash of collected memories, starting with me pinned against a tree and those two words… I see every time he has whispered those words to me bringing me out of my panic and back to him, always back to him.I s
I smile and make my way past Leo and Arthur to the young males behind them, the four of them all step up at once and wrap their arms around me, again I am surprised when I don’t hear that possessive growl come from Zachariah, I pull back a little and again look over my shoulder at him with a frown. Again, he just smiles as he gets to his feet and walks over to stand in between Leo and Arthur. I turn in Gus's arms as he is the one with his arms around me the most and look at Zachariah full-on when he says,“I am not jealous of these young males, Yasmine… To start with, two of them are your brothers and along with the four standing around you, they proved their loyalty to you when they wouldn't give up trying to track you when you went into the water and then into Shifter territory. They spent their time alternating between looking for you and doing extra training... Yasmine, I would like you to meet your personal guards. Where you go, so do they, especially
Hi, my readers, I give my apologies to all that are waiting for updates. I usually try to keep them at regular intervals. However...The last few weeks for me have been a little hectic, as I now have a new baby to care for, along with the rest of my family. So my writing time has been cut dramatically. Now this may seem strange but Yasmine has always been in control of this story, she has always just flowed through me however at the moment she seems to be MIA... Yasmine still has a few more things to face, so I will try to find her and hopefully get the story back on track... I will hopefully have a new chapter for you soon, however... Please be patient with me as a forced story never makes a great story... Again, my apologies and thank you for reading.
As I wake slowly and stretch, I am surprised that I am on my bed and that my body feels like it was hit by a truck. I sit up slowly and look around, my eyes landing on the bed next to me and I notice that it is empty. I move just as slowly as I sat up and get to my feet; I move carefully from the bed and through the room and out into the hall. I slowly and carefully make my way over to the stairs and then make my way down. Once at the bottom I walk over to the kitchen and smile as I hear the normal chatting coming from inside. I stop at the door and look around to find everyone but Summer sitting around the counter. Darius is the first one to see me as he says shocked, “Mummy?… Mummy, you shouldn’t be out of bed yet…” “I’m fine, munchkin…” I say with a smile in return as he jumps off of the stool he is sitting on and runs over to where I am standing. Before he gets to me, a wave of dizziness hits me and my knees buckle underneath me. However, instead of hitting the floor, two stron
I watch as tears actually shimmer in his eyes, as he leans in even closer and whispers, “I can’t lose you, Yasmine… Two and a half years was hard enough, can’t do that again…” I lift my arms and slide both my hands onto each of his cheeks, sliding my thumbs under his eyes as I whisper, “Zachariah, I love you with everything in me…” I close the gap between our lips and place a soft kiss there and when I pull back; I tighten my fingers on each side of his face and growl. “However, locking me in our bedroom is not the answer, we agreed to do this… We agreed to do this together… Zach, that agreement isn’t only for going after Malik, it means everything, we do everything together… And if you ever make a decision like this again or don’t tell me something that I need to know then I will kick your arse…” Zachariah chuckles as he pushes forward and places a kiss on my lips and says, “I’m sorry, you’re right again… But there is no way I am letting you kick my arse again…” I chuckle thi
**Past and future ** "Come on mate, we are nearly done, just one more sweep and we can head back to the barracks."I turn as I hear a sound and let my senses out, but don't sense anything. I return my attention back to Jake, and then I hear it again, only this time, so does he, and we both growl in warning.I extend my claws and allow my Lycan to come closer to the surface as Jake shifts into his wolf. We move together as one. However, what comes at us is nothing like we have ever seen before. It is a Lycan, but not. I can feel the power coming off of him and it isn't natural.He takes one swipe as Jake attacks him. Jake lets out a small whimper as blood goes everywhere before dark grey clouds surrounded his body and then he seems to disappear, the dark grey clouds then returning into the Lycan standing in front of me. I look past what looks like a Lycan and take a horrid breath in at seeing all the destruction and dead warrior patrols behind him.A wave of fear flows through me, but
THIRD PERSONTHE BATTLE STARTS...Zachariah and Yasmine lead their small group into the fighting and, as agreed, they fight as a unit. They fight together. Slowly making their way to where Henry is having fun using his new gifts.After Yasmine killed Valentino, Henry lost himself to the power of the Alpha that passed to him once Valentino was killed. He attacked anything and everything that came too close until one night a male walked out of a dark grey cloud that had just appeared in front of him.Wanting to Fuck and Kill, Henry attacked the male but had to shake himself as he picked himself up off the ground. Once on his feet, he turns and tries to attack him. Again and again, he goes through him and ends up face-first on the ground. The male laughs.“When you have had enough, Henry, how would you like control over the Alpha power you have and have even more added?”Henry pauses and nods
(THIRD PERSON - THE BATTLE CONTINUES) Yasmine scanned the clearing that they had ended up in and couldn’t stop her heart from hurting at seeing all the blood and death laying on the ground throughout the clearing. Yasmine eventually sees Zachariah, and he is surrounded by nearly a dozen rogues. Yasmine shakes her head and then takes off running. With a roar, Yasmine shifts once more into her combination of Lorelei and Zelda, extending her claws as she jumps over the circle of rogues landing just behind Zachariah. They then work together and take out the rogues surrounding them, only to then come face to face with Henry. Henry smiles and swings his hand out. Zachariah moves quickly, pushing Yasmine to the side and taking the hit. The impact sends Zachariah flying over 30ft away from where Yasmine is now facing Henry. Yasmine ducks and dodges Henry’s next moves. She laughs, making him angrier as she says, “Gees, Henry. I would have thought you would have learned how to fight better
>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
