The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 23. Thoughts
~ KATALEYA ~ I look in the mirror, staring at my reflection. His Luna. No matter how much I denied it or told myself we could never be, it never took away these emotions that I have no control over. But it isn’t meant to be like this. Even if those words feel like a dream, they are not. Maybe the beginning of a nightmare, maybe not. Especially when I witnessed the look in his eyes, that dangerous glint that told me he was planning something. Something that promised pain and havoc. He’s trying to hurt me, using my confession that I blurted out against me and I… I will let him because I am here to help him. Not to gain his love, nor to win him over, but to lift the darkness that shrouds his very being. And I can’t help him if I’m locked up in the cells. I’m not sure how much as a Luna he will treat me, but I will take what I can and use everything in my power to make the most of this situation. In fact, this is a better-case scenario in many ways. I just wish it wasn’t at the exp

~KATALEYA~ I won’t let you. We’re silent for a moment, both of us simply looking the other square in the eye. Neither of us speaks before he looks away first as he turns away and picks up his jacket. “So Princesa, don’t waste my time. Go get dressed, we’ll catch breakfast while out.” My eyes light up at that despite the burden his words have left on me, and I hurry to the bathroom. “I’ll be quick!” I promise, shutting the door. Inside the bathroom, my smile fades. If that is his aim, to hurt Dad through me, then he’s in for a surprise. I love Enrique. That is a love that grew within me since I was a child, but Dad? He’s my father, the man who really would never hurt me. Someone who loves me and has raised me. I won’t let anyone hurt my father, even if it’s the man I love… I love them both, but the truth is that it is going to be difficult making sure they don’t hurt one another, because just as I won’t let Enrique hurt Dad, I will make sure Dad doesn’t hurt Enrique either. Why
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 25. Her Subtle Challenge
~ ENRIQUE ~ My eyes are blazing as I look at the vision in the mirror, her eyes are half closed, her plump lips parted, her cheeks flushed, and her head is pressed against mine as she tries to hold back her whimpers as I tantalisingly rub her tiny pearl of pleasure. Her large breasts rise and fall, awakening an illicit desire within me and I’m enjoying this far too much. Far more than I should, but she’s a temptation I’m unable to keep away from. Seeing her in this tiny bodysuit, she looks better than any fucking woman I’ve seen before. My cock throbs against her and I know she can feel it but it doesn’t deter her. Instead, she simply slips her fingertips through the gaps in my button-down shirt, grazing my chest with the back of her fingers. Fuck, why does she have to be so enticing? And the fact I’m the first man who has touched her like this, that just makes her all the more fucking appealing. I want to do more, so much fucking more, but the white lingerie is a stark reminder
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 26. My Parents
~ KATALEYA ~ He stands there with my phone in his hand and a sharp expression in his eyes. “The firewall, I’ve not seen its kind before. What’s the reason for such security, princesa?” I feel uncomfortable. I had heard how he had shouted at Jose regarding my phone. I didn’t like it… it was almost as if he was extremely angry with him. “For my privacy,” I reply, looking at my phone that he’s holding. There’s a high chance he is going to destroy it, but I am hoping he doesn’t. I wasn’t expecting him to even realise the level of encryption it has, as there are pictures and some messages that you can see if you simply unlock it. But extra security, emails, past conversations, and restorations that are all blocked. My Alpha is smart, even if he clearly failed in getting through the security. “What do you have to hide?” he asks as he advances towards me. My heart pounds and I remember the moment from the dressing room. That feeling… he had left me with an ache that I can’t seem to for
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 27. My Crazy Girls
~ KATALEYA ~ Sky answers first. She’s in bed, a cat-faced face mask on her face with Malevolent sitting in her lap. “Hey there Kat, long time no hear, tell me were you busy getting down and dirty with Kiké, is he fit?” “Sky! Where’s Royce?” I whisper. “Working,” she pouts, fixing the strap of her cami. “Shame isn’t it, so tell me how sexy is Enrique.” I blush. “Very,” I admit shyly. “Oo, like on a scale of 1-10, 10 being you want to fuck his brains out every time you look at him.” Her cat-like eyes are popping from her face as both she and Mal stare at me. “I’m not answering!” I say, my cheeks burning in embarrassment. “Ooo, so he’s a 10, huh?” More than a 10… “Let’s just say he’s the most handsome man I have ever seen,” I whisper, waving my hand. “So you’re still in bed? Isn’t it like midday in Alaska?” She and Royce have been there since they were organising the World Summit Leo has called for. “Yeah, late night fun, you know.” She winks, making me blush, but I’m relieved
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 28. By The Shore
~ ENRIQUE ~ The sound of the waves hitting the shore are violent, almost as if agitated, trying to contain the impending storm. I exhale as I look at the Manatees that litter the shore. Drained of blood, and they have a circular bite that reminds me of a piranha’s teeth. There’s a few bruises on the body where it had been held down. “And not just Manatees…” Carlos says as he places a bundle he’s holding down. I glance down, my stomach churning, before closing my eyes. The sight before making me sick. There in the blanket was a child with the same puncture marks covering his face. His body is grey and swollen with water deforming it, proof he’s been in water for a while. Something is out there, and it is hurting more than just animals. This is the third attack where it’s a person that has been found dead. “Still no sighting?” I say, lifting the child’s head and wrapping him up in the cloth properly. He barely looks above five years old. Somewhere… someone’s lost a child. He’s human
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 29. Dessert
~ Enrique ~ The delicious smell of desserts hits me as I sit at the head of the centre table in the dining room of the packhouse, finishing off the main course. I love my food, but I love dessert more. I might just make the chica upstairs jealous and take my dessert up to eat it in her presence. When I got back a short while ago and went to check on her she was sitting on the bed freshly showered. She asked if she could join me for dinner; I said no and had Alondra take hers up to her, but no dessert. Over dinner is the time the pack members can bring their troubles that don’t include privacy to me. Me eating with them is a silent invitation for them to do so, or just come say hi, not something I enjoy especially with some of the women being annoying but even though I know I’m not that approachable I do want the pack members to know I am here if ever they need something. Even if it’s going to put me in a bad mood when I have to deal with idiots. “Alpha, I wanted to tell you I bea
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 30. A Chase
~ KATALEYA ~ Oh no! Oh no! I rub his back once again but this time he’s fine, as he raises his hand telling me to step away. Oh dear, this is not how I wanted this to go! I pout as he gulps down the rest of the water I had brought for him before he stares at the ceiling for a second, inhaling and exhaling dangerously and then he turns those liquid gold eyes on me. Oh dear, here we go. “Lo siento…” I pout. “And who gave you the permission to go down to the kitchens?” he growls. He’s angry about that? “Um me? You want to use me for my strength it’s only fair I get to use your kitchen.” I say, smiling sweetly. But his jaw simply ticks with irritation, it’s obvious he had come upstairs to show off his desserts. I guess that backfired. Oh dear, maybe his inflated alpha ego is damaged. The poor guy. He frowns, his gaze dipping to my chest before he turns his glare to his desserts. “If you don’t want to finish it off, I’ll be happy to take it off your hands and have it myself,” I

~ 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
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 68. Into Darkness
~ 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

~ 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
