There must be some truth behind his words at the way I felt, not just the explicit and unpredictable desires for him, but I don't feel the need to claim and mark him like with Alex and Demetre, it felt like he was already mine in every aspect.
"So long as you have your claimed mates, I'll jot pursue you in that manner, until you're ready." I allowed his hand to roll mine in his, my eyelids closing just at a mere touch as it trailed up the exposed skin of my arms, "All the three of you are mine, I'm also here to protect them," his hands cupped my cheek, driving me wild with desire as I let out a shaky breath, "If something happens to our mates, I will remain here to ensure that they are protected. After that, if we wish to claim one another, only then will we consider it."
Exhaling sharply, "You're not j

His warm body was curled around mine with his arm wrapped around my waist, holding me close as he slept. The events from a week ago seemed a distant memory now, and whatever hurt I had felt in the forest no longer seemed so terrible now that I was in Alex's arms, safe and secure.Moving slightly, I heard Alex sighed pleasantly in my ear, "I've been waiting for you to wake up.""You were awake?" I asked."I didn't want you to wake up alone," Alex replied.Rolling over in his arms to face him, I admired his sleepy face grinning at me like the small child who had got the ice cream. Alex's hair was

If anything.... I always wanted to make my dadda proud."Unless," Zach's next remark brought me back to awareness and out of my thoughts, "you're second guessing showing up at dinner."Demetre'e muscle tensed when Zach suggested for me to stray away from him. "As much as I'd love to stay with you.... I think Demetre and I have a lot to talk about and smooth over even before we ar

🌷 M O N G R E L 🌷"Sometimes we need someone to simply be there. Not to fix anything, or to do anything in particular, but just to let us feel that we are cared and supported.".•●•.Though Arianna wanted to spend some more time with Sargent, she couldn't bring herself to greet him after the hurtful exchange last time.It made her feel warm when Alexander came to stand by her side. He had been supporting her since she had transformed into a werewolf. He walked Arianna out of the main hall to the garden at the backside of the palace. The wind blew at them as they walked, the leaves in the trees rustling quietly. One strand of her hair that had been tucked in safely got out loose, to fall over the side of her face.Alexander looked at her as they reached the entrance of the garden. She was beautiful and powerful by nature. It awakened the beast inside him like a beacon

The ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what.".•●•.⚘ The Elamite Empire⚘Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven, blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.The garden was a ten minute walk away in the palace. It was Arianna's dream to dine under the cover of the stars, to feel the flow of wind like a song. Arianna used to brag about the dinner date with his brother under the billion stars.She loved the place already.Glancing down at her own outfit, she suddenly felt stupidly underdressed. Damn it, Arianna thought, she could have put one of the dresses on.... but then she didn't think it would have mattered if

But, that's what gives her beauty an edge....You can't touch a woman who can wear pain like the grandest of diamonds around her neck.".•●•.⚘The Elamite Empire ⚘Elliot held her close to his chest and pulled her away from the door. Anxiously he looked around the area and then dragged her to the far side of the garden and placed her in the corner. Taking her shoulders he looked at his little sister and said, "Stay here and do not move.""Why? What is happening?" Arianna asked."It felt like someone created a disturbance in the pack's connection," Elliot said."What?" Arianna replied.Suddenly there was a loud bang and the doors at the other side of the garden flew wide open. Sargent stepped into the field and pointed out toward the adjoining forest, "This had to be

Elliot was wearing pads on his hands to block Arianna's punches and kicks as they came. Grunting from the exertion, Arianna brought

Arianna screamed, her wolf surfacing and it was only just by a thread that she was holding on and keeping control."I despise you..." she snarled with just as much venom, "Merlin gave me the elixir, but it wasn't enough for me any my mate. Ever experienced soul being sucked out?"Amara was ballsy enough to take a step forward and threatened Arianna with her blade, "I knew his death would be the end of what I thought should have been my happiness. YOU.... I knew what you were. I kept it hidden because I was waiting for you

She explained what had happened to her in the parallel realm, how she met Demetrius' father, Clitus and Alison. And how she discovered that her unborn babies were in danger.She left Merlin with Demetrius and Alexander, who vowed to help each other while running the world.In the meantime, she headed up into the mountains and forests, staying at royal hunting lodges until her twins were born in the spring.Now she had two beautiful babies- a little girl called Meadow and a little boy ca

There was no disagreement, an understanding of how the world needed to be righted and put into balance. She smiled up at him, hearing Alexander saying, "Let's get this party started!"
🌷 M O N G R E L 🌷"She's proof that you can walk through hell and still be an angel.".•●•.⚘THE VENETIAN EMPIRE ⚘The earth quaked as Arianna could hear the sound of stones mausoleums cracking and breaking. Staring up at the dark ceiling, still stuck somewhere between the living and the dead.Breathing in, she needs to get up and stop Demetrius, thought Arianna. She tried to get up, but she was too weak. Arianna had lost too much blood to move. Her skin was virtually white from blood loss. She had no idea how long she had been out. The pool of blood around her was ice cold by the time she had woken up.Rolling onto her front, Arianna began clawing at the ground. The walls shook around her, and she could see great cracks starting to streak across the vaulted walls.She was so tired, so hungry, but she knew that she had to get out before this place fell in on itsel

Ana... Ana!" Demetrius exclaimed.▪●▪"Ana...""Ana!"The voice echoed through her mind, like a voice calling to her in a dream. Arianna was in darkness, alone and unsure. What had happened to her? Now seemed like a distant memory to Arianna. She remembered fragments, like Demetrius holding her, his eyes turning black with rage as her life slipped through his fingers. She had died, Clitus had killed her, and now she wasn't sure where she was.

With her life being draining away, the bond faded, but when Arianna touched his mind with every ounce of life left in her body, she found nothing but solid blackness."What has he done to you?" Demetre said, dropping to his kne
