SEBASTIAN
As I reach the archives, I open my link with Julian,“Julian?” “SEBASTIAN! WHERE ARE YOU? WHAT?…” “Julian, is Skylar human?” “Yes.” “Are you sure she is completely human?” “Yes… Sebastian, what’s this about? Where are you?”Not wanting to alarm him yet and much to his anger that comes over the link as I cut him off without answering him. I then search the old tomes and scrolls, looking for the right one. I pull out one a very old but thin tome. I carefully scan the pages until I come to the section and find information I was looking for.My eyes widen as I realise what is happening to Skylar. I pick up the small tome and then make my way back up into the castle. As I exit the archive door and walk through the halls, I linkSEBASTIAN I smirk a little, as even though she is a healer; I watch a blush slowly climb up her neck and onto her cheeks at what she said as she continues. “You will probably also need to get her to swallow some and then I believe if you intercourse with her again, she will respond and may even wake.” Conner nods to Teresa and I get to my feet, knowing that there is nothing more that we can do here. Julian hisses at me as I take a small step closer toward the bed, I hold up my hands showing him the tome and then place it on the bedside table saying, “If you get a chance, read it.” I then turn around and wrap my arm around Teresa before smirking a little and making her let out a surprised scream as I quickly pick her up and walk out of Julian’s bedroom, through his sitting room and out of his chambers. With the amount of pheromones Skylar was giving off, I didn’t make it to our chamber as Teresa trails soft kisses up and down my neck and chest. I hiss as she then nips at her mark
SKYLAR It doesn’t seem to be long when I open my eyes and I am standing once again within that same darkness. I look around me as tears sting my eyes, collapsing to my knees as I sob. “No, no, no, please no… It was real… Julian, please it was real…” “Of course it was real.” I snap my head up and look around. I don’t see anyone but the darkness. I take a deep breath and say, “Who are you? What do you want from me?” I hear her giggle and then a beautiful girl steps up in front of me; she has milky white skin or maybe it is scales, her eyes are cat-like white with a ring of red and violet, her hair is the same red and violet as her eyes, her ears are pointy, just peeking out from within her hair and she has two small fangs standing out in contrast to her bright red lips. She smiles and takes my hands, pulling me to my feet. Once I am standing, she says. “I’m sorry. I didn’t really get a chance to introduce myself before the change was complete. My name is Iris.” “Change? What do
SKYLAR I wipe down the mirror and then look at my reflection. I take a sharp breath in as the sunken look around my eyes is gone and there is more colour in my cheeks. Again, Iris seems to giggle at me in my head. I look into the mirror, staring at my reflection and say, “What are you giggling about?” I watch as the eyes, my eyes, change to the ones I saw in my dream and she says, “You have it bad…” “What? I don’t know what you are talking about…” “Sure you don’t…” She then seems to disappear, my eyes returning to their normal colour. I lean on the side of the sink and say, “Wait, Iris?” My eyes don’t change this time as she answers, “Yes.” “Can you change more than just my eyes?” “I’m not sure.” “Did you want to try?” I then feel that strangeness as she seems to push forward, pushing me back just a little. My teeth then tingle a little along with my ears and I watch with amazement as the same two little fangs press into my bottom lip and then my ears lengthen just a lit
JULIANAs I place soft kisses on the back of Skylar’s shoulder and neck all I can think about is being inside again, it was like she was a drug and I couldn’t get enough of her. I am surprised when I get a tug on my link with Nathaniel,“Julian?”“Nathaniel?” “You live?” “Yeah, why?” “Your mother and I have been trying to contact you for a week…” “Really? Sorry. What did you need?” “We are holding a celebration before all our new allies return to their countries and kingdoms, and I need you here.” “But I don’t want to leave Skylar on her own…” “She will be fine… I need you in the ballroom. NOW!” I don’t miss the power or the underlying
>CONNER< I smirk when he growls, and I know that he has accepted my challenge. However, I have to keep a strict hold on myself as he then moves Skylar out from his body, turns her to face him, and then slaps her hard, knocking her to the floor. I watch as she places her hand on her cheek and her eyes flicker, but she stays on the floor. The people around us move back, forming a circle around us and Skylar. I feel as Nathaniel, Uncle Dominic and King Noah all step forward behind me, I turn from facing the werewolf in front of me to face them. Now that the three of them are standing together, I don’t miss that there has been a shift in power between the three Royals, as Nathaniel's aura is now much stronger. He frowns and says, “Conner? What’s?” I don’t miss the feel of one of his gifts as it stretches out from him; I watch as his eyes go wide and they flick from me to where Skylar is still half lying, half sittin
SKYLARI feel so weak that I feel like I am being held down and Iris seems to have disappeared from inside my head. I try to move away from the figure in front of me, expecting him to hit me, too. However, I don't get to move far as he seems to move quicker than I can, sliding his arms under and around me. As soon as he touches me, I know whose arms I am now in. I frown as I remember that I am upset at him and that I don’t want to feel the electric tingles that are lightly skimming over my skin. However, they seem to comfort me and I relax into his arms as another wave of weariness washes over me.I close my eyes and relax into him, allowing the allure of him to calm me a little. However, that calm is short-lived because as soon as we get to his chambers, his aura changes. He opens the door, steps through, closes it with his foot and then walks into the middle of the room before slowly and carefully placing me on my feet.When he deems that I am steady e
SKYLAR I am surprised when Iris lets out a small sigh and every man in the cafe stops what they are doing and looks over at me. Iris then makes us get to our feet, seeming to walk a little closer to the men as we pass them. I am then surprised when she places her hand on a man’s shoulder and smiles at him. He seems in a bit of a daze as he then gets to his feet and follows me. Iris leads him into the restroom and into the furthest stall from the door. The man closes the stall door behind him and then surprises me as he moves quickly, wrapping his arms around me and pressing his lips to mine in a very sloppy and disgusting kiss. I struggle in his arms, placing my hands on his chest and pushing him back away from me a little. He doesn’t fight me and steps back leaning his back against the stall door, Iris then makes me kneel and I realise what she is about to do, only I can’t fight her as she undoes his belt and pants I whimper in my own head, “
JULIANAs soon as the words had left my mouth, I knew I had fucked up. I needed to talk to her about what she is so that she could learn how to control the release of pheromones. However, I didn’t mean to insinuate that she was a prisoner. I just need her to learn control before she can be around others.I run my hand up and down my face and then pull my hair a little before slapping the back of my head, as my father used to do when I did something stupid and should have known and done better. I then frown as if there was something else and I remember the look of betrayal on her face. What could I have done to make her look at me like that?I walk around my sitting room, hissing and cursing. I pick up a couple of things to throw, but then think better of it and return them to their places. I don’t know how long I had been fighting my anger, which shouldn’t have been so high. I link with Sebastian,“Sebastian?”
