~ ENRIQUE ~ “…goodnight I will-” I stop in my tracks when Kataleya’s voice reaches my ears. “Not so fast, princess. You see, although you are rather overweight, I still find you extremely gorgeous, so why don’t-” My eyes flash recognising Luis’ voice, his words sending a ripple of irritation through me. “Stop.” “I just mean-” “Oh, I am absolutely certain what you meant, Alpha Luis, and I’m not interested. Whether I am overweight or not, that is no way to talk to someone, especially when my weight is no one else’s business. As for what you are insinuating… I am not interested at all.” There’s a short pause and I smirk coldly. This fucking viejo verde. Does he really think she’ll even spare him a second glance? I scoff internally. She’s fucking- I stop my train of thought abruptly. I remain silent, not moving. There’s no need for me to step in. She’s handled him perfectly. She might not admit it, but she’s as strong as she is fucking sexy. “Have a good night, Alpha Luis.” I h
~ KATALEYA ~ He’s restless. I can sense it. Ever since I mentioned the prophecy, he seems distracted. Did I make a mistake by mentioning it? I want to ask him, but he’s lost in thought. I peek through the gap in the blank, watching as he stares vacantly at the wall opposite, a thoughtful expression in those hazel eyes. He reminds me of the little Kiké, the one who would stay quiet but lost in the weight that he was burdened with. My eyes rake over him. Goddess, he’s so perfect, like a god! I’m willing my heart to remain calm, but he is making it harder. I’m calm now, ever since I realised I made him smile – no, I made him laugh. My heart fills with warmth, the pleasant buzz of happiness remaining inside of me. I’m happy if he is… He rests his head against the headboard, frowning deeply, and my mind flits to his laugh once more. It was sexy… I blush as I smile softly and blink sleepily, wishing I could take away all his pain and worries. “Sleep… it’s late.” I say, a sliver of g
~ ENRIQUE ~ What is going on? I pull her top down a little, looking at the two deep cuts that run down over her shoulder and back. “Fuck, why is this happening to you?” “What?” she asks softly, pain visible in her glittering black eyes as I grab a towel and press it against the wound. “The Crawlers, this is their doing, is it not? So why are they after you? There are plenty of people out there with powerful auras, like your padre. Why are they specifically targeting you?” I growl, feeling frustrated that there’s nothing I can do to stop this from happening. She looks down, shaking her head, “I don’t know, but we assume it’s the kind of power I possess,” she whimpers when I move the towel slightly. “Lo siento, come here.” I scoop her up and place her on the edge of the tub and run the tap. “Why…” she whispers. I don’t know what she is about to ask, but I have no answer to anything right now. Reaching around her from behind, I extract a clawed nail and with the sharp edge, I cut
~ KATALEYA ~ I tiptoe, cupping his neck, needing to know if I kiss him again, will I feel pain or not? It breaks my heart knowing that there’s a darkness within him, one that perhaps is hurting me. I need to know if that first kiss was the only one that was pure… He leans down, closing the gap between us, before our lips collide, stealing my breath away as we kiss. A beautiful, deep, passionate kiss fuelled by the desire that breathes through our veins and thrives on the pull that is inevitable between us. My eyes flutter shut, and I’m consumed by him. No…, this isn’t like the second kiss… but it’s also not like the first… there’s something different… something far more illicit. It’s deep, passionate and there’s something entirely erotic about it… His arm snakes around my waist as he presses me up against the wall, our bodies crushed against one another, and I gasp, feeling his manhood bulge in his pants through the thin fabric of the t-shirt I am wearing. Pleasure dances through m
~ ENRIQUE ~ ‘Enrique… oh fuck!’ Not even the cold water of the shower can get rid of this hard-on. My head is echoing with the memory of her moans, the scent of her arousal, and the images of how her body reacted to me. She was a work of art and I was able to play her strings so fucking perfectly. She is the embodiment of heaven on earth. She drives me fucking crazy, a distraction I am never able to ignore, and I don’t know how to fucking accept that. What am I doing? I brace my hand against the wall as the cold water pours over me. Eyes open or closed, it didn’t matter. All I can see is her body arching with pleasure, the moans of ecstasy filling my ears and how fucking good it felt… watching her expression of pure euphoria on her face… Fuck… I can’t deny that she’s an addiction I am unable to refuse. The image of her pussy with her legs spread beneath me fills my mind, the moans and screams getting louder in my head as pleasure rushes through me. I lean my head back, closing
~ KATALEYA ~ I’ve heard stories of homewreckers, women who have no shame of being in a relationship or simply messing around with a man who is taken. And Enrique is very much taken in terms that he’s engaged. I know over dinner they said they wanted to finalise the engagement, but their being here was pretty much a done deal. I should have known that. Until he has told her what he has planned, I shouldn’t have allowed him near me, even if I love him… I wrap my arms around my knees, resting my head on them. I don’t know how I will face Marie, oh how horrible I am! I bite my lip as tears trickle down my cheeks. She was so good to me. Imagine being engaged to someone and then seeing them with someone you had treated with kindness and politeness. I cringe with disgust and shame. Last night no longer felt like a pleasant moment. It was wrong. Completely wrong! Anger, hurt and frustration at myself swirl viciously around me, like a swarm of angry bees. “Come out, do you plan to stay
~ MARIE ~ Breathe in, breathe out. Whoa, that isn’t what I was expecting to see… When I asked Carlos what time his Alpha wakes up, I didn’t think going up to his room would result in me seeing him with another woman. And that too, none other than Kataleya Rossi. I thought he hated the Rossis? Sure over dinner I felt like he didn’t mind her but… to have her in his room… clearly having just woken up… My hands are trembling as I ball them in fists, trying to calm my nerves. Is this the kind of union I’m going to be in? Maybe he won’t agree to the engagement. Maybe he’ll be turning us down… I hope so. I should- “Ouch!” I stumble when I hit a wall of muscle and look up to see it’s none other than Jose. Guess both he and his Alpha are alike. “What are you doing coming from the Alpha’s floor?” he asks sharply, glancing at the steps behind me. I smile bitterly. Oh, he knows. I scoff. “What’s wrong? Worried I’d learn about your alpha’s dirty little secret? Too late. I already did.” I
~ ENRIQUE ~ I watch as Marie storms down the hallway, her anger clear and I can’t fault her. Her rage is valid, regardless of the fact that her words irritated the fuck out of me. This wasn’t the intended plan and if her father wants to see this deal through then she will need to stick to it. I frown deeply, not wanting to let my conscience come forward. The part of me that is telling me that I’m forcing her against her will; that although she’s already made it clear this was a decision made on her behalf by her father, it is set and decided. I know I’m being fucking unreasonable, but I really don’t fucking care. ‘Carlos, if you wish to survive another day without me castrating you, lock Marie, our precious guest in the dungeons. Now. And dare defy me and I will fucking lock you up for a fucking year!’ ‘Y-yes Alpha.’ The festering poison of my wrath bubbling inside of me needs an outlet, and who better to take it out on the person I once considered a friend? I turn my gaze on the
~ SIENNA ~I shouldn’t be here.Everyone knows I got in because of who my dad is – was. Everyone knows I failed the entrance exams, but I was enrolled by order of the King.A favour and a curse.I was doing fine, until Dad left me, left us. I can no longer concentrate without the panic and nightmares plaguing me, threatening to devour me alive. I can no longer harness my powers without the turmoil and pain inside suffocating me. It’s alive and I have lost the tether of control over it.“Alright! Everyone here is going to be put into divisions!” A loud voice tears me from my thoughts. “For the next six months, you will work together, and some of you may be put into these very divisions upon graduation! So work well together. Each group will be made to balance one another!” the Strategy Master shouts, his voice booming across the large hall.I shrink into my hoodie, wishing I wasn’t here. I don’t deserve to be here. Everyone knows it. All I do is hold people up and if I do let my powers
~ ENRIQUE ~A short while later, we are sitting at our table as several people give short, heartfelt speeches when I hear faint voices on the wind. One sweep of the area and I notice who is missing from the tables of Kataleya’s close family.Sienna Rossi, the daughter of Rayhan and Delsanra, there’s an urgency in her voice.“…I want to know.”Whoever she’s talking to isn’t giving her the answer she wants. I scan the area around, but I can’t seem to find who else is missing.“I can’t,” comes a low male’s voice that is far too quiet to recognise. “Sorry.”I frown slightly as silence falls and scan the area. Where are they?Sienna’s ability when night falls makes it harder to pinpoint her anywhere.‘Everything ok?’ Kataleya asks me through the mind-link.‘Yeah. I just heard Sienna talking to someone, but I didn’t really hear anything much,’ I tell her.Her brow furrows ever so slightly, but she simply nods.A lot has happened over the past few years, and it has changed Sienna in many ways
~ ENRIQUE ~“I do.”Those words leave her lips, sounding better than I had ever imagined them to.“I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.”I’m kissing her already, my lips claiming hers with passion and love as everyone cheers.We slowly part and I look down at her once more. She looks beyond breathtaking. Like the diosa she is…My gaze rakes over her breasts and I can’t help but smirk faintly. ‘Now that is a view I can devour,’ I murmur huskily. She looks breathtaking in the gown she’s chosen.And I’m happy she’s let my favourite girls get some show time. I love a good view, and this is one of my favourites.She blushes lightly as she looks up at me through her lashes. I take hold of her chin, gently tilting her head up once more, and I simply admire her.Her hands are on my chest, sending a soft crackling tingle through me, teasing me with the promise of pleasure only she can offer me.“I love you, Mi Amor, more than life itself.”“And I love you, more than anythin
Over three years later.~ KATALEYA ~I gaze in the mirror, my heart racing at how I look.I’m wearing an embellished luxurious champagne-coloured wedding dress. The entire bodice and skirt are covered in crystals. It’s fitted to my hips and shows off ample cleavage. The skirt flows out, and despite the weight of the crystals on it, the several layers beneath it keep the volume intact.My tanned skin shimmers and my makeup is soft yet glowing, complimenting my dress. My hair is styled in loose waves, pinned high up where a tiara sits, keeping my long veil, which flows past the trail of my skirt, in place.I’m wearing a diamond necklace and earrings that match my tiara. One that Raihana now adjusts with my veil.“Now you are my kind of bride,” she says, a small smile on her face.“A tad extra and extremely sparkly, you mean?” Alessandra remarks from behind us. She’s already ready. Her smoky eyes and glossy lips compliment her skin tone, and she’s wearing a dusky pink dress. The same shad
~ ENRIQUE ~Fifteen minutes later, I have her out of the bath and on the bed with towels beneath her. She’s on her stomach, a pink blush colouring her cheeks.A towel is wrapped around my own waist, and a bottle of oil is in my hand. One that I now pour into my hands before I start from her shoulders, massaging them slowly and sensually. Making sure to run any knots out.The lights are dim, the ambience in the room sensual, but it’s the look in her eyes and her naked body beneath me that fucks with my head, the intense sizzling chemistry between us fuelling that intoxicating heat.But tonight, she’s a canvas that I will work on…My other hand tangles in her hair as I tug slightly, holding her head in place as I work the back of her neck.She sighs softly, relaxing into my touch. I then run my hands down the centre of her back, making her gasp as I massage her. I then trickle some oil onto her voluptuous ass. She bites her lips as I run my hands down her ass. My fingers slip between her
~ ENRIQUE ~The bathroom, which has also been newly decorated, now holds a large deep bath, one that is now full of bath milk and petals. The delicious smell of shea butter, cherry blossoms, and coconut mixes together in a pleasant concoction.“My love… you did this for me?” she whispers.“You’ve been working hard.” I smirk, “So I thought we could start with a bath and massage before I put you to work again.”She blushes as I place her down and the moment she kisses me, my hands grip her hips; her clothes incinerate, freeing her breasts from their hold. She gasps as she stares down at what’s left of them.“I like you naked,” I murmur, as I step back and remove my own shirt, and she instantly grips my belt, making quick work of it. She’s gotten faster, having improved over the last few months, and she loves to strip me naked as soon as she can.My naughty, dirty, little perfect angel.I wrap my hand around her throat, squeezing slightly as I run my tongue along her lips. “Delicious,” I
~ ENRIQUE ~‘Do your guardsmen have emotions?’ Carlos asks through the mind-link as we sit around eating at the same table.He’s glancing towards Rhea and Benigno. Marie and Jose are also seated with us. Right now Kataleya and Marie are discussing something about the indoor pool, and clearly Carlos took the chance to mind-link.‘I don’t fucking know.’ I shrug.‘Enrique, tell me… you should know, they’re your guardsmen.’ He almost pleads.I pull Jose into the conversation. ‘Carlos here is wondering if the creepy woman over there has feelings,’ I tell him mockingly.Jose smirks. ‘Just ask her. I mean, if you had women at the club back then, you might not care so much about the feeling side.’‘You two are horrible! Jose, I won’t hesitate to tell Marie how you were,’ he threatens him, making me smirk.‘Yeah, cabrón, don’t hurt his feelings.’ I snicker.‘She knows what I was like. I slept with her on a visit to her island, remember?’ Jose counters arrogantly. ‘You won’t tell our Queen Luna
~ KATALEYA ~I smile gently at them, ruffling their hair. “Can you two play together nicely? We’re one big family, remember?”“But he doesn’t play the game I want to play,” Alejandro protests.“He likes to play hitting games.” Pascal pouts.“Yeah, and you're just a scaredy…” He trails off looking at me and I look around.“Why don’t you both play ball or one of the board games?” I suggest, pointing towards the game area that is set up for the younger kids.“Hmmm… ok.” Pascal smiles at me and Alejandro nods before they both run off together.“We’ll behave, Luna!”I smile as I watch them. Everyone treats me like I’m a treasure here. It makes my heart feel so full…“You’re good with kids,” Enrique remarks as he takes my hand and pulls me to my feet, kissing my lips deeply.I clutch onto the cotton collarless shirt that he has left several buttons open on, caressing his chest with one hand as I kiss him back. Before I step back, he picks up the glasses he had placed down and offers me one.
~ KATALEYA ~“I am starved.” Carlos rubs his stomach; his shirt hangs open, reminding everyone that despite his personality he is as ripped and muscled as the best of warriors. But I think he’s trying to please a certain redhead who stands to the side as silent as the shadows. The pack members are beginning to adapt to the presence of the three guardsmen.I hide my giggle. “Are you? Oh, would you take this over to Rhea? She’s been standing there for a while,” I say innocently.“Oh, sure.” He quickly takes the mocktail I’m holding in my hand.‘Don’t encourage him,’ Enrique says through the mind-link, although he’s standing with a group of the younger warriors. There’s a couple who will be going to take the entrance exams for the academies in England. I hope they get in; Estephan is a little young yet, but he is showing a lot of promise already.Leo passed two decrees that night. One; the age of the students in the academies changed. The academies will now start from the age of 16 and up
