The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 16. An Entrance
~ KATALEYA ~“Yes, of course, ask away.”“If you spot any kind of stone, crystal or rock… will you please put it aside?”He observes me for a moment before suddenly realising something and smiling. “I see what you are trying to do, and I think that is a very good idea indeed… I wonder if Mi Rey has the same thought…” he says the last part more to himself, but I don’t want to waste any more of his time.I smile. “Thank you. We’ll be leaving soon. It’s a shame you won’t join.”“I have more important things to do here.” He smiles at me, and I nod before I return to the hallway.“I can’t wait to see how Enrique crumbles when he sets eyes on you,” Skyla says as she cuddles Malevolent before placing her kitty down.“Hmm, I think that depends on how you look at it.” I muse. “I mean, if he doesn’t go through with it, it means he is unable to stay away from me, a sign of his feelings for me. Or… by marking her to protect me? Which is the greater good? Will he have enough strength to make that s
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 17. Pent-up Frustration
~ ENRIQUE ~Time fucking comes to a grinding halt as everything fades away and all I see is the diosa standing at that entrance.Fuck me.I knew she was going to look like someone fucking out of this world, but she went beyond that. Not only has she caught everyone’s attention, but she has just stolen the entire room.The dress she wears fits her body like a second skin, it was created for her. The fabric glitters and shines with every sway of her hips, every small move she makes… every breath she takes…Right down to the sexy piece of jewellery on her perfectly thick thigh, which would be one of the few things I leave on her if I was to fuck her right now.She runs her fingers through her long locks, the glittery dangling jewel from her armpiece catching the light.Hmm, at the same time, I just want to destroy everything she wears, wrap those thick sexy legs around me and pound her as she screams my name. Trying not to go right over there is excruciatingly painful, as I just stand her
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 18. An Undeniable Truth
~ ENRIQUE ~Her eyes widen, and I don’t miss the sadness in them, her heart thudding.What happened?“Enrique… What are you doing here?” she asks.That’s the first voice I want to hear every fucking morning and the last every fucking night.“It’s my home. Can’t I be here?” I ask arrogantly.She looks into my eyes, close enough to see past my shades. “You even accompany guests to the bathroom?” she whispers with a pout. But I’m more satisfied with the way her eyes run over me.I smirk. “That depends on who… So tell me, Mi Reina, like what you see?”“Hmm, I guess. I was just thinking that you have a lot of buttons open, did you run out of buttons or was the top too tight? Or maybe you need help to close them?” she asks, as she blinks innocently up at me.She’s jealous, I think smugly.“Someone is either getting distracted or extremely jealous. So tell me, Mi Amor, which is it?”“Neither,” she replies haughtily and I smirk.She’s a bad liar.“Sure, if you say so. What about your dress? Di
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 19. Passion
~ KATALEYA ~He squeezes my ass, throbbing hard against my stomach as he presses himself firmly against me.I moan softly, feeling his hard manhood against my stomach, gasping when he begins kissing me down my neck and over my breasts, before making his way back up to my neck. My heart is thumping, my chest rising and falling as my body is hit with an influx of emotions.“Fuck…” he growls, and I feel him tense suddenly, pressing his head against my cheek as if catching his breath. I try to move back to see his face, but he refuses to move his head before exhaling and continuing his assault of pleasure upon my neck.I slip my hands under his shirt, running my fingers down his chest and abs, enjoying the feel of his firm body.Goddess, he is perfection…I missed him, missed this.Having someone clearly so into you is unexplainably the best feeling ever. Knowing he loves you, makes you feel like you’re in heaven.“I’ll apologise in advance for not being a gentleman tonight, Mi Amor,” his
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 20. Against the Rules
~ RAIHANA ~I swirl the ice around my glass of juice, staring out at the Guardsmen. Rhea… what is her angle? I have been able to find little on them, and I’ve tried.I don’t know. It’s still strange she would ask for something like becoming Enrique’s Luna for not finding the Ash Stone. That only benefits her, not the other two. It would also in a way be putting herself as his equal and a guardsman always put their king first and shows respect. That much I know.Liam sits opposite me at the table. He’s alert, watching the crowds.I frown slightly, remembering my moment of weakness earlier…(FLASHBACK)“Shall we?” Dalton asks me, offering me his arm. I nod, about to take it when I pause.Realising that I can’t.Chris was my one and only date for all occasions. The one who would put up with me dressing him, however I wanted. No matter how extravagant or extra I wanted. He didn’t complain.Be reasonable, Raihana. We are putting up a front. This isn’t anything more than simple courtesy. I o

~ KATALEYA ~The moment I re-enter the hall instantly Skyla ambushes me. “You naughty girl.” She giggles as she raises her eyebrows at me. “Seems like Papi couldn’t resist. I’m proud of you!”I blush, feeling mortified. I gesture with my eyes towards Royce, who stands beside her, hands in his pockets as he smoothly looks out across the hall, but we all know he can hear this conversation loud and clear!“Sky…” I murmur, placing a finger to my lips.“Oh, come on. You can’t be shy after getting naughty with the man who's about to take another Luna,” she teases, making my cheeks burn even more.“Sky!” I hiss. She chuckles before she hugs me, then steps back quickly. “Ok, I can smell sex all over you.”I cleaned up! I feel so embarrassed!“Nothing to be ashamed of. Sex is the most natural thing ever. We were born to fuck,” Skyla says, making my eyes widen as a few people glance our way.“Skyla!”She can tell I’m mortified, so she simply chuckles and doesn’t say more despite the smirk remain
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 22. From the Past
~ RAIHANA ~“Here… I can feel something here,” Delsanra murmurs. I nod, looking around at the ground, which doesn’t show any signs that it was once a witch graveyard. There is nothing that shows signs of witchcraft, as if someone didn’t want anyone to know.We begin taking out our supplies, working quietly with only the sounds of nature and the ominous silence of this place surrounding us.“Ri.”I look over at Delsanra, seeing the concern in her eyes as she observes me. She has been the sister I never had ever since she and Rayhan found one another. Since the beginning, we were inseparable. After Chris, she is the one who knows me the most.“Are you sure about this?” she asks me.I nod. “I am, but if you don’t want to, I don’t want to force you -”“I’ll do what I need to. This isn’t about me. I just want to make sure you’re sure about it.”“Yeah, I am. Thanks, girl,” I say as I finish sprinkling some ash and herbs on the ground. Delsanra is lighting the candles as she places the crysta
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 23. Commotion
~ KATALEYA ~There are certain defining moments in life when you question every decision you have made, leading to a specific moment. For me, this is one of them. Every single thing we were trying to avoid has happened. We weren’t able to prevent or stop it.The entire place is plunged into darkness as turmoil breaks out.The man standing above me is as handsome and sexy as he has always been. From those beautiful, sexy hazel eyes, straight nose, and kissable lips that are equally charming as they can be mocking. But it is not my Enrique whose mind is there.Yet despite that sickening truth, and through the shrieks of the crawlers, and those fighting against them, I remember one thing that Azarakh had said. That he could take on any form.Yet here he is, channelling the darkness within Enrique to be here. No matter what he said, it’s obvious he needs Enrique as some kind of tether to be on this earth, and that is something I won’t allow.Around me I see everyone who can fight, battling

~ KATALEYA ~I wake with a gasp, my lungs clawing for air, it feels like I’m drowning. I suck in a breath, clutching my throat. My heart is thudding but it’s as if the sound of it is coming from all around me, reverberating through the chilling darkness. It’s too silent.This place… it’s similar to Azarakh’s crypt, but not quite.It holds the same evil. Feeling something move, I look down and realise something cold and slimy is clinging to my legs, black tendrils - slithering as though alive.I gasp as I scramble to my feet or try to. The stench of rotting meat and damp earth so thick it feels like it’s inside of my mouth. Shuddering, I try to get up quickly, flinching as pain rushes up my waist and I touch it; there’s no wound, but the pain remains.How did I even get here?I frown slightly, trying to remember what happened.That woman! Her face was so warm and innocent. Was she a part of this? I touch my head. It hurts too.Dragging myself to my feet from the tar-like slime that cove
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 71. The Pain Before Me
~ SKYLA ~Rayhan…I won’t forget this moment, and it won’t be one of those good, happy memories. This one is devastating. The heartbroken Delsanra who has always rushed to help others despite the risk to her own life. Ray…. Ri…Despite everything, they always were there for us, but in their time of need, where the fuck were we?Fuck! Why them?Raihana now wraps her arms around Delsanra as both women kneel on the ground, their grief so strong, their pain so sharp it could carve away flesh from bone.There has to be something we can do!Enrique is examining the symbols, his power swirling around him subtly.I look up at Royce, “Let’s try to open the portal, maybe he’s ok. Royce, Dante, you both saw the symbols-”“It’s too late for that. Kiara said Ahren felt the shift in power. He is now the Alpha of the Black Storm Pack,” Dad says brokenly.“How can he be Alpha?! He doesn’t even have his wolf!” I shout. This can’t be happening!“Love…” Royce wraps his arms around me tightly.“We have to
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 70. Until the Last Hope
~ DELSANRA ~“Rayhan…”Something isn’t right, I know it.I know I shouldn’t leave my spot, but the worst is sorted. I warn a few of the warriors I’m moving, and I rush to the crack where Rayhan and the others disappeared. I jump in, creating a barrier around me to protect myself from the crawlers that are still trickling out from the ground.They’re coming in smaller doses now, but they are still resilient.“Does anyone know if they managed to find the opening?” I ask worriedly.“No, not yet. We lost contact ” Liam replies, worry clear in his voice.He’s currently manning the break in the packhouse wall, making sure no crawlers get inside to the people.“We need to get down there!” I hear Sky shout from somewhere above.“What happened?” I ask.“I don’t know. Royce called for help!”My heart thuds as I keep going, moving as fast as possible.I can sense both her and Raihana not far behind me, the urgency and fear within me growing. I suddenly stop as a powerful pulsating that comes from
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 69. A Difficult Choice
~ ROYCE ~We kept going down, and the deeper we go, the more I feel a power that is fucking immense and there’s only one other aura I’ve felt with this much power and that was Apophis’.“Do you guys feel it?” I ask, my voice low, but even then, it feels too loud in this darkness. Occasionally, a crawler or two will hiss and claw at us as they come from somewhere beneath us. A confirmation that we are headed in the right direction.“The aura?” Dante mutters. “Yeah, and I have no idea who it belongs to.”His unease is obvious, and I remain on alert. My royal mark is glowing, and I am not the one who is summoning it forth. Almost as if it too is warning me of the dangers ahead.“Don’t worry I won’t let anything happen to you both.” Rayhan jokes, although we’re both stronger than him.“Don’t fuck around,” Dante’s harsh reply comes.Rayhan turns to him, a flicker of concern on his face. “Dante, do you want to turn back?” he asks.“All three of us?” Dante replies.“I speak for myself. You tw

~ ENRIQUE ~Magic fills the air, strong and powerful and I know it’s Raihana’s. I can feel Delsanra’s reinforcing the barriers, her magic feels different, and there are parts that are not like ours – not from Hecate.Raihana is working on blocking out the moonlight, in a huge attempt to completely stop the crawlers from coming out of whatever shithole they are coming from. Jose quickly filled me in, and I sent more power to both witches, giving them the strength to continue.They are two witches alone and they are doing a lot. Royce, Rayhan and Dante have gone down to find the exact location. ‘Send some warriors to handle the crawlers so they are not burdened.’ I command Jose.It doesn’t even make sense that so many crawlers are able to get in. It’s not a fissure in the veil, but that’s something that’s been obvious from the start. The crawlers have appeared everywhere at any time, not from one point like the chupacabras. They had a different way to get through. Another means that we n
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 67. His Wrath
~ KATALEYA ~My eyes widen as I turn sharply and stare into Enrique’s molten gold eyes.“Enrique!”‘No!’ Azarakh shrieks, the earsplitting sound hammering into my head causing me to flinch.“I’m sorry it took a while,” Enrique murmurs in his deep, beautiful voice that makes my stomach flutter. I shake my head before looking back towards the spot where Dad had fallen. I can’t see him! I can’t sense a heartbeat amongst the storm of crawlers.“How did you break free?” I ask softly, torn between running to Dad and keeping my hold on Azarakh.I know Enrique is in control for now. I can sense his presence, his aura strong and free from darkness.“You needed me,” he answers softly as he stands tall. “You’re my strength, Mi Amor.” My heart surges with so much emotion as we gaze into one another’s eyes, pink and gold, perfectly complimenting each other.Azarakh’s form has solidified as he fights to keep a grasp on Enrique, but he’s failing.His unearthly shrieks are all that he has left as Enr
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 66. Not This Time
~ KATALEYA ~Azarakh’s mouth twists into a snarl as he lifts his claws, aiming for my heart. I can see the glint of triumph as he lunges at me, but I hold my ground, letting him think he’s got me. But the moment his claws dig into my waist, slicing through fabric and skin, the smell of the hot rush of blood, and the sharp sting of agony makes me cry out. I suck in a gasp, gritting my teeth as I clamp my hand around his wrist, ignoring the searing pain at the contact.In a single motion, I call forth every ounce of power I have, letting it surge forward in a blinding wave. A scream leaves me as I put everything into it. My blinding pink aura swirls around him in a flash, engulfing him completely. Azarakh recoils, his shrieks cutting through the night like metal scraping against metal. He claws at his prison of light, his form writhing, his shadowy form twisting in agony as he tries to escape and get away from my aura.But not this time. My aura is like an iron cage holding firm, shackli
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 65. Good and Evil
~ KATALEYA ~‘We can share! I told you together we could have had it all. Yet you declined!’ Azarakh hisses, but he’s still only clinging to Enrique. The shadow form still surrounds him, but he hasn’t possessed him yet. Or perhaps he can’t.I fuel my power forward, trying to reach through our half-formed bond.“I would never choose you,” I say, my voice quiet yet firm. “Never.”‘You served your purpose, and you will continue to do so. That is why you were chosen, whether you wished for it or not.’ He chuckles darkly.What does he mean?“How do you have a hold on, Enrique? He is not evil,” I ask as our powers continue to slam against one another, attacking, hammering against one another. Light against dark.‘We were created from the blood of the same goddess. One could say we are brethren.’ I shudder at the very thought as his evil eyes now burn into me. His sharp teeth stained with blood. ‘The Goddess Hecate created us for another goddess, yet she betrayed my goddess by creating someon
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 64. Into the Darkness
~ RAYHAN ~“Alright, let’s do this,” I say, looking at Royce and Dante the moment the three of us are within reach of one another.“We’ll have your back and cover you from behind,” Royce says.“I’m assuming you can’t mask the moon, Magic Fingers?”“I wish I could, but with that tornado thing going on, it would need a lot of power without being sure of the results.”“And you would call every single crawler to you,” Dante adds.“Not necessarily a bad thing, really. I could be the decoy,” Royce answers as they both cut through the crawlers and I asses the area.“I don’t think so,” Skyla says through the earpiece.“Don’t worry, Love, I’ll return to you in one piece. But call me back if you need my help, Raihana, I’ll be there.”“Thanks, I’ll let you know,” she replies.“It’s intriguing how our auras attract the crawlers but somehow Kataleya’s is the only one who isn’t attracting crawlers with her aura. Instead, hers is deflecting them,” I murmur as I look through the storm of crawlers, aur
