~ ENRIQUE ~

After giving my orders, most of the pack disperses, and I order Carlos the fool to overlook a few of the staff. I asked to pack up mine and Kataleya’s stuff, mainly essentials for me. It’s not necessary but… It’s easier for two people to move than everyone else.

“Enrique, do you need to do this? This is your home,” Jose asks quietly.

“You should be happy I won’t be in your hair constantly, cabrón.” I frown and hold my hand out. “Knife.”

He looks confused for a second, but instantly takes out his pocket knife and hands it to me.

“If only you always just listened.” I mutter, slicing into my hand, “Hand.”

He silently holds it out, and I slice his. “I, Alpha Enrique Ignacio Escarra, hereby make you, Jose Moreno, the Beta of the Fuego De Ceniza pack.” I grip his hand, our blood mixing, and I feel the shift as he comes back into rank. “Don’t fuck it up this time,” I say, turning my back on him.

“Enrique…” The moron really doesn’t get it. I frown at him and he smirks slight

    ~ ENRIQUE ~ She shakes her head, her eyes flashing with determination. “He is standing here, right in front of me.” I remain silent, strangely I don’t feel any rage inside of me nor the will to argue. There’s a calm that even I don’t understand, but I welcome it, for now. Until something angers me again. “Can you at least try it out? I’m not sure about the comfort level it will provide in wolf form, please. I just want to know how it feels.” I’m not sure if it’s the fact that I almost lost her twice today that I give in, but I do. “Fine, then we can go for a short run. I hope you know how to ride.” Although I’d much rather she ride my cock… She nods, as that explicit image enters my mind, and I welcome it willingly. Really, though, am I actually thinking about pounding her right now? Pushing the explicit image away, I focus on her as she nods innocently. Unknowing to the dirty things I want to do to her. I hide my amusement, watching as her smile only grows wider, revealing he

    ~ ENRIQUE ~“Was it comfortable?”“It’s great. You’re incredibly smart, for someone of your age to accomplish something like this… and I’m certain it must have cost far too much as well.”“There’s no price too high for something like this,” she says, blushing at the compliment. “And I got help. It wasn’t all me.”“But it was your vision, and you made it happen,” I say quietly. The atmosphere around us changing.Our eyes meet, and the urge to grab her and kiss her fights against me. So instead, I look away and sit down on the ground, my arms resting on my knees as I look at the twinkling star or two that peek out from behind the clouds.She sits down beside me, her legs tucked under her, her long hair cascading over her shoulder.I look down at the hand and begin to remove it when she reaches out. “Stop. What are you doing?”“I told you, I’m not accepting this.”“Enrique… why not?” The light in her eyes that was there when she talked about it, diminishing. “Please accept it. I’ve put ev

    ~ KATALEYA ~ The walls he built are crumbling. Somehow, I am forcing my way through the crack, but he’s fighting it with everything he has. It hurts to see him like this, so conflicted, so torn. Realising that his father had found out he helped me escape has shaken me. Silent tears stream down my cheeks, and I close my eyes. Doesn’t he realise all this does is strengthen my resolve to break those walls completely? Doesn’t he realise that there is nothing he does that can make me change how I feel? I told him my stupidest fear, the doubt that always niggled in my mind. I know my dad, and I know he loves me unconditionally, but there were times that question would come to the tip of my tongue. But if I voiced it, it would only hurt them more, so I didn’t. They have done everything for me, Dad, Mama, Dante, and Skyla. I saw how Skyla always put me first. Even when she was hurt, or had something troubling her, she would play it off. She stepped back as if blaming herself for me being

    ~ ENRIQUE ~“Master Enrique, it truly has been a while. Please come in.” He steps aside and I have half a mind to turn and leave, but then again, maybe he might have answers that I need.Did Carlos ask him to be here? Carlos is a pendejo, stupid cabrón! I will visit his madre and tell her everything.“And why are you here?” I ask emotionlessly, stepping inside and heading to the lounge.“I felt something earlier and when I learned you were leaving the packhouse, I enquired with Delta Carlos and he asked if I would serve you here, which I accepted willingly.“I’m sure you fucking did.” That hijo de puta… I swear I’m going to go see his madre. Stupid idiot man.“Alpha… Tell me I am wrong… but I feel I felt the awakening of El Rey Carmesí… how did I not see it? You accepted your birthright… My King…”I glance at him but do not reply. How much does he know?He bows down, touching his forehead to the ground, and my eyes flash.“Don’t do that again.” I growl.“Yes, My King… Would you like fo

    ~ ENRIQUE ~ When I remain silent, he speaks again. “The spirit wolves who will always be at your beck and call. But as your forefathers before you, you must find the Ash Stone that will give you supreme power over them; but you will not be able to summon them without the stone.” “I said something, and I felt…” He looks concerned, and I don’t like the concern on his face. “There is a special incantation, but it must not be spoken without the Ash Stone. I doubt you have spoken-” “By the fiery embrace of the sun, the powerful shroud of the moon, the celestial light of the stars and the heart of the earth; I, Enrique Ignacio Escarra, the last of my bloodline, summon forth the power bestowed upon me as the rightful heir of the sacred title. Let these bindings be shattered, the shackles sundered, and the unleashed energies come forth? … I said all that,” I say, masking my unease. I watch him carefully, not missing the way he swallows before he lifts his head up. “It doesn’t matter. We w

  • The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness   55. The History Of My Past

    ~ ENRIQUE ~ I frown, so our ancestor was a demi-goddess… one who came from the goddess of witchcraft… “The first El Rey Carmesí, Alpha Neron Escarra, was their son and powerful he was. Not only did he possess a powerful wolf, but within his veins ran the magic of Hecate’s blood. Roja warned her son not to play with such powers. After all, where there is power, there is great risk and consequence.” A moment’s silence falls amongst us as I ponder over what he’s said. Why was such history buried? The problem is everyone hides their secrets, hides the truth from others, but in the end what if those very key facts are lost? “So, he disobeyed his mother…” I say. “Indeed, because what man would not be tempted to use such power that they are blessed with? So he began experimenting and the power he played with attracted enemies. It was at one of these instances that he made a dangerous decision.” I listen quietly, more intrigued than I want to admit. “To protect Alpha Neron, his beta gav

    ~ KATALEYA ~ I place my spoon down, having enjoyed the delicious meal. I had returned to the new place an hour ago, showered, and gotten dressed before eating. Originally, Jose told me Enrique was on his way to fetch me, but he had changed his mind, making the hope I had felt come crashing down. So Jose had brought me back to the home where we would be staying. I had placed the prosthetic aside, feeling like a failure. “Thank you for the meal, Hugo,” I say politely to the old Escarra butler. “Not at all, it is an honour to serve you,” he says. I look up at him. Dad had mentioned him to me. They had stayed in touch for several years, but then he stopped responding and told Dad to back off. I glance around. Enrique isn’t around but… he somehow can sneak up on me too, but according to Jose, he had a lot to do. I talked to Valentina early this morning, and I have organised a group call in about half an hour with those back home. I can’t delay this any longer. I have to tell them of m

    ~ KATALEYA ~ “My work isn’t done here,” I reply softly, hoping he understands. But this time Mama doesn’t seem so sure. “Kat darling, your father is right, I know you have things to do but if the crawlers managed to surround you-” “Mama, she’s not a baby.” Skyla cuts in defensively. “But if it’s about protection, maybe one of us can go to her?” “I’m fine, really,” I promise, knowing everyone has things to do and with the summit, Royce can’t leave Alaska and it would be unfair on them if Sky came here. “Besides, I’m coming for the summit. I’m just concerned if I am the Asheton Queen… does that mean that the other two will be revealed soon? How close are we to that time?” I whisper, suddenly feel cold. “That’s inevitable. The time is approaching regardless. We can’t delay it.” Leo says. “We’ve just got to be prepared.” “Yeah, take your own fucking advice,” Dad remarks, making Leo frown at him. “Still waiting for you to stop hiding in the shadows.” “We ain't doing that shit now.”

    ~ 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

    ~ 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

    ~ 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

    ~ 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.

    ~ 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

    ~ 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

    ~ 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

    ~ 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
