The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 76. Truths
~ ENRIQUE ~Haala. She may have aged slightly, but there’s no doubt about who she is.“It has indeed, Alpha Enrique. My enchantment had one flaw… Yet I thought it was foolproof.”“But it really isn’t. I guess luck was shining on me when I decided to get some pastries and cakes for someone,” I answer, watching her intently. I can see her aura around her. The power that emits from her.I understood the deception spell. If one looks for what’s hidden, they cannot be found, but unintentionally it’s possible to stumble upon it, in this case, her. She was always paranoid, as if running from someone or something. But seeing the way she looks uneasy, I wonder if it is me she’s always run from? Although that makes no sense.She looks tense as she stands there unmoving. “What is it that you desire from me that you seek me so desperately?”“I understand you do not want to get into our affairs, but I need your assistance. You are the only witch in Puerto Rico of your calibre… So tell me, Haala, w

~ ENRIQUE ~I enter the villa, my mind still a storm of thoughts as I piece together all the things that have happened. The number of times she had gotten hurt around me… It was because I drew them to me…I stop in my tracks when the smell of delicious food hits my nose, and the sound of soft humming reaches me. Her beautiful voice drawing my attention. I look towards the kitchen, remembering last night and close my eyes, turning away. How do I pretend everything is ok when I’m already preparing for her departure?Hesitating for a second, I then walk towards the kitchen, the doors open and I quietly lean against the doorframe, watching her. She’s wearing a dress that accentuates her thighs and waist, her back is to me and for a moment I appreciate her.She’s like a ray of light, bringing warmth, happiness and… love. Her hair, which reminds me of sand and the beach, is in a loose braid and when she turns slightly, there’s a soft smile on her plump lips.For a second, I wish I could kee

~ ENRIQUE ~It’s late into the night and despite the multiple dives, I am no closer to reaching where the chupacabras are coming from and my body is demanding rest.I reach home pretty fucking defeated and exhausted, with Jose saying I needed to regather my strength before trying again.The pressure in the depths of the water was pretty intense, too. I know I’m close and I know it’s there. I just need to find it…I head upstairs, reaching for the handle of the door to the room she’s in when I close my eyes and turn away, heading to the room across the hall.Having dinner with her made me realise I won’t have her around for much longer. It kind of hit fucking hard. Since she came, I have felt emotion, felt at peace and enjoyed moments of actual enjoyment.I shower slowly, letting the cold water trickle down my body. There is hot water in this place, but I still prefer the cold.I need to try something more drastic. What lures a chupacabra out… should I lie in waiting until one appears f

~ KATALEYA ~The day of the summit is finally here, and where I should be excited to meet my family, whom I have missed dearly, I feel a sense of sadness instead.That night, those precious moments in the kitchen, that was the last time I saw Enrique until this flight we are now on to make the over ten-hour journey. A flight he has barely acknowledged me on despite how long it is and I know he is shutting me out.He’s wearing the prosthetic. That night I told him he has to wear it daily instead of his other ones, and it looks like he is holding to the promise he made.However, although he’s wearing it on the flight, he isn’t using it. Maybe it’s out of habit or he doesn’t want to use it, but at least he’s keeping it on. Maybe he’ll get used to it in time, but I do wonder why he dislikes it so much. I thought we had made progress.Valentina is on her way back too. However, she has taken a separate flight with Li Sheng, whilst I’m on a private jet with Enrique. I told her she need not re

~ KATALEYA ~Dad is the first to turn towards us. His salt and pepper hair is mostly brushed back, with a few locks falling over his forehead. He’s wearing a black suit with a white shirt that he’s left a few buttons open on, revealing his tattoos and necklaces, but it is his glimmering red eyes that make my stomach twist with fear.He’s angry again.I might have joked about being scared on the plane, but right now… I’m terrified.Dad is not someone you would want to anger. I could be brave over the phone, but in person it’s a lot harder.Besides him is Mama, Mama Mari is on his other side and there’s Raihana, Uncle Marcel and Winona. There are two places empty, presumably for me and Enrique, and I wonder if Dad was the one who wanted us at their table.On the table next to theirs is Azura, Uncle Liam, Aunty Raven, Rayhan, Delsanra, two witches, and then there is an empty seat, probably Leo’s.I glance at Raihana, whose eyes are glimmering as she watches Enrique with an expression I ca

~ ENRIQUE ~Leo picks up one of the name plaques at the table and smirks humourlessly as he glances at his woman, no doubt conversing via the mind-link. This is confirmed when she gets up and moves into the seat which would have been for Kataleya’s sister’s mate. Now the two spots at the table are between me and him.“Welcome Prince Mikhail Petrov, Princess Anya Petrova, Prince Gedeon Petrov. Glad you could make it,” Alpha Royce says with a smile that makes me wonder how he is relaxed when he has invited those that should be considered our worst enemies. Or so the storybooks say.I knew vampires existed, but most would not see one in their lifetime. They are a rare race and I doubt there are many left, but if these are royals… are they from the first line of vampires? Or self-titled?A man in black leads them towards our table. “Prince Mikhail, I will show you to the seat at the front,” the man says as Leo watches the one in the lead. He is definitely the strongest. I can sense the pow

~ KATALEYA ~I tilt my head as the clip is replayed once again.What is that? My heart is clamouring with fear at the first thought that entered my mind. It sounded like an army or something. I shiver, feeling the chill that creeps down my spine, and Enrique places his hand over mine, giving it a comforting squeeze.Skyla is sitting forward, her eyes blazing as she stares at the screen, and I take a glimpse at Dad, who is sitting at the front watching this video. Prince Mikhail’s cold eyes sweep over the room before they meet mine, giving me a small smirk.“When did you first come across this phenomenon?” Dad asks, and I’m relieved that he looks away.“Nearly fifty years ago. But in the last five years it’s grown faster, and not once have we heard of any life from within. I have men spread across the border, but the conditions of these lands are hard to survive on, yet we do our best to watch it. But it’s becoming impossible. It is too large and we are few. Something is happening there

~ KATALEYA ~“Fucking come again?” Dad growls, making my heart hammer for an entirely different reason.I glance up and spot Dad, Mama, Royce, Leo and Prince Mikhail walking towards the table. But it's Dad’s glimmering eyes that make me swallow hard as Enrique leans back in his seat, unbothered. And he does not remove his hand from my wrist as he looks at Dad challengingly.“You really don’t want to do this now, Lycan,” Enrique says arrogantly, with a small smirk.“What did you just call her?” Dad asks as the Russian prince sits down, amusement clear on his face as Sky hugs her mate.“Mi Amor. Do you want me to say it louder?”“Are you mocking me?” Dad asks icily, turning his irritated glare to the Russians. “Mind taking the front table?”“No thanks, I am enjoying the show,” Mikhail says as he picks up the bottle of untouched wine in the centre of the table.“Alejandro…” Mama murmurs softly.“Not now, Amore Mio,” Dad warns.“Dad, please. Enrique, come with me,” I whisper, pulling him f

~ 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

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
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 84. Playful Moments
~ 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
