The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 56. Our Strength
~ ENRIQUE ~I took a while out from the afternoon to visit those who would not be fighting, to give them some hope and some faith even if I have no idea what will go down. I owe them that. I am their Alpha and I am the one responsible for giving them confidence. It is now night and the only sounds that can be heard are people performing last-minute checks and carrying out small tasks for the coming battle.I have never felt calmer, despite the high tension that thickens the air. I feel in control. The Blood Moon that is almost up in the sky is a strong reminder of what it stands for. Some may even find their mates tonight, and if they do, I do hope they make it through the night so they can experience that properly.“Enrique.” I turn as Jose calls me. He’s quieter, the concern in his eyes obvious. “We’re ready for you.”I nod, ready to give my warriors courage and confidence. I will make it through for them, for myself, and above all for Kataleya. Mi Diosa.I step out into the open and

~ RAIHANA ~“I don’t want you participating, you can remain in the hospital and help Kiara with the wounded.” Rayhan’s words are absolute and final as he looks at Ahren, his expression firm.Ahren stares emotionlessly back at his father, not disrespecting him, but his silence always speaks louder. He will defy him.I do agree with Rayhan. This is no battle for a kid. Even if he has some tricks up his sleeves, he doesn’t have his wolf yet and he isn’t at his full power, and we all know how dangerous it is going to be out there today.“Your father is right.” Delsanra agrees, her voice much softer than Rayhan’s, although his voice isn’t as harsh as some of these alphas.Ahren sighs. “I think I’ll be more help on the battlefield-”“I don’t care. I let you come here and take part then, but you need to obey my orders now, Ahren. This is not the same.”“Do you think I’m not capable? Do you really feel-” Ahren tries, but again Rayhan cuts him off.“I said no.”“Why? I told you I can deal with

~ KIARA ~I watch Raihana leave in anger, wishing there was something I could do to ease the pain that weighs upon her soul. I glance at Liam, who looks a little concerned. They have always had a good relationship. They are an incredible team on the battlefield, but since Chris’s death, I feel she’s pushed everyone away.But how can I judge? I can’t even imagine putting myself in her shoes. Imagining losing Alejandro is terrifying. Just the thought makes my chest squeeze painfully. How would I even live a day without him?Yet Raihana is doing that every single day.Living on.She’s lost her father and her mate…“You were hard on her,” I say to Liam quietly as I step into the hallway. He looks up from his phone.“I didn’t mean to, I just thought she’d appreciate me keeping my distance.”“Telling her the reason probably stung. She’s so strong, Liam. She’s gone through so much… no one goes through that and survives. She’s fiercely protective of everyone and only wants to help.” I remind h

~ ENRIQUE ~“Positions!” I thunder, my voice steady and powerful despite the crawlers that are pouring out of the crevice that has opened beneath our very feet like thousands of spiders forced to flee.‘Mi Amor, are you alright?’ I ask through the mind-link, unable to see her.‘I am. Thank you for asking, my dear mate,’ she replies, the happiness clear in her voice. I smirk.‘Good to hear, my beautiful mate,’ I reply, slicing through a crawler. Nothing can take away the joy I feel knowing she’s mine.The clash is deafening, ringing in my ears as my power surges around me and I slice through them. The dark, sinister evil they bring with them is like a cloud of poison, tainting the very air we breathe.“You’re the only one who can kill them. You have your work cut out!” Jose grunts.“I can see,” I reply as I slice through another one. Sending balls of fire at a few who are attacking a group of my men. Despite the brightly lit area, they are not shying away or trying to hide when I realis

~ ENRIQUE ~Kataleya, Benigno and Antonio are in front of me.“Enrique!” Kataleya shouts, “Are you alright!” She swings her sword at one of them, but unlike the others, they are trained well and dodge swiftly. Letting out a blood-curdling cry, one that seems to target every corner of our souls. I can taste the blood in my mouth.“Careful!” Alejandro growls before he’s beside her, motioning me to stay back. Irritation flashes through me, but I know why he’s being protective. We all know Azarakh can take control of me, and we can’t risk putting her in harm’s way.I jump back, touching my neck as blood spills down it.‘You’re hurt!’ Kataleya exclaims.‘I’m fine,’ I reassure her as Royce and Skyla engage the third crawler and I back up, giving myself some space.“Who the fuck are you and where is your cowardly leader, Azarakh? What’s wrong? Is he not able to fight?” I sneer. They spoke moments ago. I know they can understand me.Antonio and Benigno circle us, creating a protective shield w

~ KATALEYA ~‘The Alpha is down!’ someone shouts through the mind-link. My heart thunders as I spin around, my heart hammering. He was heading to the circle! What happened!I break into a run, forcing my way through the throngs of crawlers. The bright light of my aura that emits from me forces them to part. But even that does nothing to stop the pungent smell of something vile from poisoning my throat.These things shouldn’t even exist.“Enrique!” I shout aloud and through the mind-link simultaneously, but I’m hit with a mental wall. “Enrique!”“He’s on his knees and bleeding from his nose and ears!” Rayhan’s voice comes. “I can’t get to him.”Blood? What is happening?!“There was no one near him when I got his beta out of there! I’m returning soon,” Uncle Liam says, concern clear in his voice.“I’ll try to get to him,” Royce adds just as I see lightning flash in the sky, followed by Skyla’s intense aura, but I hear the shrieks of a new wave of crawlers.“Something is really wrong thou

~ KATALEYA ~“Alright, the hospital is reinforced,” Raihana says. “I made sure the entire protection went from beneath the property. Only my death can take that away.” Her confidence makes me smile as I push forward, raising my hand as wisps of blazing pink twirl around me and I push them away.“Thank you, Ri.”“No need.”I smile, glad I have such an amazing family.I behead another crawler, my eyes blazing as I feel my thigh tingle as my mark surfaces, making the crawlers hiss as they shrivel back.I summon forward my power, gasping when I feel the crown on my head, and the shield that now appears strapped to my arm. I raise my arm, my hair whipping across my face as three crawlers slam into it before they shriek and jump away.I spin, jumping forward before kicking one of them. My armour is impressive and flexible. I can feel the power in the shoes, the way they adapt to any terrain, the way that the fabric itself is armour, even the crawlers are unable to rip the fabric.

~ ALEJANDRO ~This isn’t going how it should have been. Kataleya was meant to stay by my side, especially when she foresaw her fucking death. I can’t even fucking shift, since we need to use the weapons with the flames to destroy these fuckers. They are never-ending. Somehow, they’re using the essence of the Blood Moon. I’m not fucking sure how, but something about it is helping make it easier for them.The chasm in the earth is fucking insane. It’s huge, and although I know we need to close it, even I know Del and Ri are not going to be able to do it.I see Kataleya disappear into the darkness. Royce is forced back as a crawler manages to catch his shoulder, throwing the powerful fucker across the fucking battleground. He hits the tree, but he’s up in seconds.Like I said; powerful fucker.‘Dante, get to your sister now.’‘She’s the only one who can get through to him,” he answers.‘She foresaw her fucking death,’ I snarl through the mind-link.He doesn’t respond, which only makes me

~ 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
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness Epilogue Part 2
~ 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
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness Epilogue 1
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
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 86. For 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
