SKYLER Julian then steps back and allows me to move off of the wall, as he turns around and knocks on the same door again. He then takes my hand and leads me down to the front porch, where we wait for whoever was behind the door he knocked on. I stand with my back to the door as Julian holds me tight to his side; it isn't long before the door opens again and I hear another guy join us; I look as I hear the new guy say, "Julian, this is Savannah." "Nice to meet you." I recognise the guy as the one I bumped into coming out of the shop that day. I then look at the girl and I have to blink a few times as I frown, asking myself. It can't be the Savannah, can it? It can't be the same Savannah I met back in that other town, can it? It's then I hear her gasp and actually look at her as she says, "Skylar?" "Savannah?" I laugh as she does and we both seem to pull away from the guys at the same time. I give her a hug as she gives me one. As we pull back, I say. "I didn't expect to see yo
>RILEY<After looking over everything that Skylar had on this human Organization the S.D.E, and especially the final memo that was sent to what seems to be the big boss. Julian rings Nathaniel and Dominic,“Jules? What’s up? Did something go wrong with your assignment?” “No, Your Highness…”“Jules why?… What’s happened?” “Is Uncle Dominic with you?”“Yeah, he's here.”“Good, because we are in trouble…”“What do you mean? Are you in trouble?” “No, Nathaniel I mean everyone… Every supernatural not only here in our kingdom but in every kingdom around the world…”“Julian, what the hell are you talking about?” I then hear the door over the phone open and someone enter. I was surprised by the soft voice that enters
>RILEY<We wait as we hear beeps on the line, I then smile as I hear my sister's voice,“Hey, Nat, what’s up?” “I have Riley and Julian on the line as well. Riley wanted to talk to you.” “Hey bro, what’s up?” “Hey sis, um… We have trouble coming…”“What’s new?” “This could be the end of life as we live it now…”“Oh… What do you need?” “We have gotten a heads up thanks to Julian’s mate…”“Ahhh…. JULIAN… You found your mate and didn’t ring me…” “Sorry Sis, but we sort of had a more pressing issue to attend to.”“Well, you better introduce me to her.” “Okay, okay… Victoria, I would like you to m
SAVANNAH I excuse myself from their upcoming battle talk and go into the centre of the clan. As I walk through the makeshift market, I think about Riley. I felt his reluctance about letting me out of his sight, but I also to see my Grandmother. As I look around, it’s hard to believe that all this, that everything that we know, could all come to an end and end soon.With the information that Scarlett gave us, I am even more glad now that I followed my instinct and enchanted that amulet necklace and gave it to Skylar as it will protect her even more than I first intended it to do. Originally, I just wanted to make sure that none of the witches, warlocks, werewolves, vampires or other supernatural creatures that travel with the market could take advantage of her.Now it seems it could even help protect her life…I make my way through the market to the edge where my Grandmother has set up her wagon to receive customers. My Grand
SAVANNAHI then lean forward and wrap my arms around her as she wraps hers around me. We stay in that rare hug for a time until Grandmother pulls back, gets to her feet and then walks out of the wagon. I wipe my eyes again as I get to my feet and follow her. I am amazed when she stops at the bottom of the wagon steps and holds her hands to the sky. I then feel it as she lets her magick expand.It covers the entire market. I then smile as every member of our coven walks over and stands in front of my Grandmother. They bow their heads slightly out of respect to my Grandmother as their High Priestess. She then turns and steps back up the wagon steps. I move quickly to go back inside and out of the way as everyone then follows, entering and just standing in the receiving area.Once everyone is inside and the wagon door is closed, my Grandmother stands just inside the fabric door and faces our entire coven. She then says,“I have called you all before me
SAVANNAH He then trails his lips down my neck before opening his mouth, swiping his tongue along my skin and then sinking his fangs in. I flinch at the slight sting and then let out a low moan as he retracts his fangs and drinks, sending pleasure flooding through me. As he drinks, his thrusts get harder, faster, and deeper. It then seems too soon when he swipes his tongue over his bite. However, I don’t get to think about it as he then increases his thrusts even more, finally losing all control. Then, all of a sudden, he slows, moving onto his knees. He then pulls me up with him so that I am now straddling his thighs. Once I am settled on him, he then places his hands on my hips and makes them harder and faster. I can’t stop as my release rolls through me. I shake and shudder in his lap, however; he doesn’t let me stop my movements. He actually increases them until he has to move one hand from my hips to my back to support me as I throw my head back and scream. He then joins me as
S.D.E. OPERATIVE-ALARIC This isn’t good. I haven’t seen the hacker in a few days, however; I have been watching the witch and one of the Royal Vampires, but the Vampire doesn’t stay out of the main clan house for very long. I am surprised when I was walking around the market late this afternoon and a lot of the stalls were all packed up early.I then witness the Royal Vampire exit the clan house, head into the market and over to where the witch has her wagon and stall, I am now sure that they are more than just friends, witnessing their interactions they are together as lovers would be.I stand back and watch the marketers as many of them seem to close up early and make their way over and into the trees behind the witch’s wagon. I open my phone and send a text to the only number I have.‘URGENT!!!The witches here
SAVANNAHI look over at my Grandmother, feeling a little on the weak side and whisper,“Was that meant to happen?”“Yes, as I said, old spells take old magicks and therefore drain everyone that is participating in their magicks.”I then look at Riley and hold my hand out to touch him, but stop scared of what would happen if I did. I then feel a hand over mine. I look up at my Grandmother as she then moves my hand and places it on his chest over his heart, which is beating very fast. She then whispers,“Feel the beat and repeat after me,Flesh to flesh Bone to bone.Vein to vein,Heal and regenerate.”I then repeat what she has said and feel my hand warm and glow once more with the blue light of my m
THIRD PERSON After the close call during the war of watching and nearly losing Seraphina, Dominic decided to pass the throne to Nathaniel and take his Lady Seraphina somewhere safe, somewhere he could protect her but still be close to family for a werewolf needs her pack. Calling for a gathering, the entire King kingdom turns up along with King Noah and a few of the new allied kingdoms they had made due to the war. King Dominic and Queen Seraphina stand in front of their Royal thrones. It isn’t long before the doors open and the trumpets sound the arrival of Crowned Prince Nathaniel. Walking into the throne room with Prince Julian and Consot Skylar flanking him on one side, Princess Victoria and Consort Griffin flanking him on the other along with the rest of the Royal family following behind. Nathaniel stops and kneels at the bottom of the small set of stairs that leads up to the thrones. King Dominic and Queen Seraphina get to their feet and take a few steps to be standing at the
SKYLAR Julian made a few phone calls, and it wasn’t long before someone he seemed to know turned up to drive my Berkeley back to the castle while Julian took me back on his bike. It surprised me at how good it felt to be on the bike, at how free it made me feel. Even though I had been travelling for weeks, I hadn't really realised that I had stayed so close to the castle and to Julian. It only took us a couple of days to return on the bike. Julian also made sure to test me and Iris on controlling our pheromones while in the company of others in different places and slightly different situations on the trip. Unfortunately, it is going to take just that little longer for me to totally have it under control, as it seems to be connected to both hunger and my emotions. If my emotions are high, my pheromones slip just a little more, and Julian needs to give me a little reminder. Julian pulls up in front of the castle and as I climb and take off my helmet, I look around, still in awe of t
ROMEO Before I can decide anything, the compulsion running through me takes hold and takes over. With a new goal embedded in my mind, I make my way silently through the corridors, making my way toward the human with the surface passkey. I come up behind the first human. I wrap one arm around his chest, pinning his arms while slipping my hand over his mouth and pulling his head to the side. My fangs lengthen, and I sink them into his neck. I drink greedily my bloodthirst surfacing, only as soon as I swallow the first mouthful of blood, I pull my fangs out and shove the human away and into the wall, knocking him out as I quickly wrap my hands around my throat as it burns. I try to take breath after breath, but the burning intensifies, making it even harder to breathe. I collapse to my knees, throwing out one hand to catch myself from hitting the floor. I cough and cough as my body tries to expel the blood. However, due to bloodlust, it was absorbed immediately. As his blood continue
ROMEO I feel starved as I try to move my body, my arms, and my legs, but nothing moves. I force open my eyes and look around. I am not surprised when I see both Kolby and Vlad standing over me with smirks on their faces. Ajax steps up and wraps something around my neck, saying, “Just a precaution. Sir.” I then hiss as I hold in the scream at the feel of the needle sliding into the skin on my neck and that familiar burning slides into my system and then spreads around my body. Kolby adds more and more until my body seizes and I pass out. The next time I wake, Morrisa seems to have me on her metal table once more. I watch as she cuts into my skin and chuckles as she tries to fight the healing in my body. I then hear the door open and see Kolby step up next to her with the standard needle in his hand. He steps that little closer as he speaks to Morrisa. “Have you made any progress yet?” “Not really. It is proving elusive. I can't seem to
SKYLAR As our bodies finally start to calm, I remove my fangs and slide my tongue over the skin, healing it. Julian soon follows as he does the same before pulling back and sliding his hand on my cheek once more and saying. “You are my life, Skylar. Nothing is more important to me than you. I love you.” For the first time, I feel the truth in his words as he opens up his mind and floods me with every emotion he is feeling; I smile with tears in my eyes as Iris purrs in my head and she makes him jump and his eyes go wide as her tail slips out and wraps around him, pulling us even tighter against him. I lean next to his ear and whisper. “Iris is happy, content and feels safe…” “Iris?” “Yeah, that’s her name. The other girl or whatever she is in here with me now…” I tap my temple gently. “Did this Iris tell you what you now are?” “She said I wasn’t human anymore…” Julian removes his hand from my cheek so that
SKYLARIris doesn’t answer me but nods her head in understanding. I then feel that sting of fangs and a much smaller amount of liquid in my mouth. I dart my tongue out once more, swiping it over the source of the liquid, and let out a low moan.I feel sparks spread as fingers skim the side of my face. I then hear his soft raspy and sexy voice as he whispers,“I love you, Skylar.”Tears sting my eyes as I slowly open them and look into his. They look sad but brighten as a smile slowly forms on his lips and his body seems to shake. He then whispers,“I’m sorry…”He leans closer and presses his lips to mine in a soft, gentle kiss. I close my eyes, drowning in his kiss. Just as he pulls back and looks into my eyes, I remember the girl from the celebration. I struggle a little and try to move from underneath him. He moves slightly, however, instead of letting me move, he pins me to the bed as he says,
JULIANJust as he is about to take a swig of the big pint of beer his friends had placed in front of him, I cover it with my hand and lean in close and with a slight command embedded in my tone; I whisper into his ear.“Come with me. I want to show you something.”I don’t miss the slight red tinge that goes to his cheeks. He then gets to his feet and with me standing at his side, we make our way away from the table and his friends. I place my hand at the lower of his back and lead him up a flight of steps, sending out my senses and making sure that there is no one around or within the room next to us.I open the door and show him in. He then surprises me as I shut the door, turning me around and smashing his lips to mine. I allow him this and then turn us around so that it is him against the door, not me. I then skim light kisses down his neck as I feel my fangs tingle and lengthen.Being a little unfair, I allowed Conner to
JULIANHowever, as soon as I remove them, Skylar’s body seizes once more, tensing and making her back arch off the bed only as far as my body over hers would allow. When her body settles to the bed once more, tears sting my eyes as she seems to send a pulse along our connection and her life tether to me seems to grow just a little.I do this again and again. Every time I feel that she needs it and every time I do it, her tether and connection seem to get stronger and she seems to come a little more back to me. After what seems to be an endless amount of time, there is a knock on the door. I look up and over at the door. I send my senses out and let out a small sigh as I say,“Come in Griffin.”Griffin opens the door and enters the room, closing the door behind him. He swipes out his hand and walks over without getting too close, making the room smell clean and fresh as he says,“Your venom and blood are doing what it's
JULIAN I could feel my connection to Skylar fading, so I didn’t need Savannah’s words of hurry to let me know that I didn’t have much time. I check the location that Savannah sent through to me from her tracking spell, quickly start my bike and speed off down the highway. It doesn’t take me long to get to the small town marked as the location. I slide my bike to a stop when I pull into what looks like the main street and there are 6 different motels. I look around me and a shiver of fear runs through me at which one she is in. I get off my bike and turn in a circle, looking at all the motels; I pull out my phone and check it again. Only the tracking spell didn’t pinpoint the exact motel she was staying in and the longer I was standing there, the more I could feel her connection fading. I am surprised when I feel my head fill with calm as I hear his voice in my head, “Julian. Take a deep breath. As in training, breathe and focus.” I do as he says. I close my eyes and take a deep c
