VICTORIA
I was assigned to stay with Seraphina, Serenity, Scarlett, Charlotte, Isabella, Imogen and Savannah but I have just been napping here in the control tent. Even though Savannah is Riley’s mate and I liked her I just couldn’t be around her.
I knew she was pregnant to Riley as she had accidentally cut her finger and I could smell his blood mixed with hers and it wasn’t just the smell of the blood sharing from the mating it was that of him being inside her being part of her.
Theodore and I have been keeping on top of the war from here, King Dominic/Caleb, King Noah/Tobias and Prince Nathaniel/Hunter/Cole have ordered us not to join the fight and to make sure everything goes to plan but Lorette and I are feeling restless.
It's now been a week of endless fighting and I need to go out and relieve some of the stress that has built up In me and Lorette. I turn to Theodore,
GRIFFIN I keep myself cloaked as I enter the meeting tent behind Prince Nathaniel, I get a stronger hint of her scent but the conversation and what Prince Nathaniel is saying pulls me away from the chances of meeting my mate and what is going on around me.I am a little surprised when I feel the wave of power that Prince Nathaniel lets out and can see why he is being watched so closely by both the High Angels and the High Demons. Having a hybrid with such power on their side would tip the balance.“Why don’t you stop this war before it starts?”I smile as I listen not only to what he says out loud but to what he goes over in his head. He knew that he had the power and the means in the males and females around him to destroy most of the enemy before they had the chance to start the war. However, he was also correct in not knowing what he would encounter within the compound once he and his team breached it.
GRIFFIN I chuckle and then turn to face the next small wave of attacking supernaturals. Just as I take down a human hunter knocking him out, I sense that I am being watched; I look around, but I don’t see anyone. I shrug my shoulders and return my attention back to Scarlett and the ones she is now fighting. I continued to fight by Scarlett’s side making sure that no harm came to her, not that I needed to as she is an exceptional fighter and with her mate by her side they were a team not to be trifled with. I fight and knock out all that attack me. I tighten the hold on the vampire in my hand when I feel an SOS go out over the mind link, I am not connected to any of the ones here but being who and what I am I can feel and intercept any form of communication. "I need help!!! I have ten of the enemysurrounding me and have more coming my way..." I was so surprised by the beauty and sweetness of th
VICTORIA As I pull myself out of the darkness, I wait for the pain to hit me. It had been a little while since I have had to fight like that, so I was expecting to be at least a little sore, but I actually felt good. It was then that I noticed the sweet and tangy taste in my mouth. Someone had given me blood, and it was blood I had never tasted before.I stretch and realise that I am not on one of the military cots within my assigned tent, but on a very soft, very comfortable real bed. I sit up and look around. I don’t panic as panicking only makes one make mistakes. I move off the bed and notice that I am still in the same clothes I was in, so whoever has me didn’t try anything.I walk around the room and find the bathroom. I know of these types of cabins. There are many of them abandoned and scattered all over the kingdom. I turn on the tap and I am surprised when water actually comes out, I then strip and take a deep breath, also knowing th
VICTORIAHe smiles and closes the gap between his lips and mine, starting with a gentle kiss and slowly increasing the dominance, I moan into his kiss, melting into his arms before I slide my hand up along his chest wrapping it around his neck and then pulling him more into me as I then make my returning kiss just as dominant.I feel the vibration of his approving growl roll through him and then through me. I almost whimper when he pulls back from the kiss, I then take a shaky breath as he slides his hand from my hip around to my lower back and pulls me in tighter up against him allowing me to feel all of him as he whispers softly against my lips.“If you don’t want this between us, you need to tell me now… Do you want…?”Growing up with two extremely close and protective brothers, I was always more of a tomboy growing up, I wanted to be and was good at fighting and strategy. However, I also had always wanted a mate. Someon
VICTORIA He closes the gap between our lips in a gentle, loving kiss as he once again slides his hand down my body, stopping between us. I feel him move his hips as they push my legs a little further apart. I then feel as he slides his cock against my private lips before I feel the tip press against me. Not realising that it was going to hurt so much I gasped a little into his kiss as tears filled my eyes and I placed one hand on his chest and the other hand on the fur as I tried to push him and move my body away from the pain. Normally pain doesn’t bother me but this… This is much more intimate, this is me finally giving in, finally surrendering my body to another and allowing him to take that most intimate part of me, allowing him entrance inside my body. Something I had longed to do with my mate, but thought I never would. I could feel his body trembling as he tried to hold himself still, as he slid his arm underneath my shoulders and lightly gripp
>Meanwhile…SAVANNAHAs I wake, I feel different this evening. Something good is going to happen tonight. The fighting has been going on for a week. We all take it in turns to sleep and then fight. I whisper my cleaning spell and feel refreshed as I walk out of the tent I share with Seraphina, Serenity, Scarlett, Charlotte, Isabella and Imogen, it was good to see she managed to finally get away from that grandmother of hers as unlike mine hers was evil. Victoria was meant to be with us too, but she has a habit of napping in the strategy tent.Now their mates have their own tent, but they still steal time to keep connected to each other. I wish I could touch Riley and Romeo, but I haven't seen him since we organised and set up this place for the battle Skylar told us was coming.I know he is still alive and that they have put him through so much pain that he won’t answer me through our link anymore. He blocked me out after I had forgotten t
ROMEO I am nearly knocked over by the taste of her. She tastes amazing and I can't stop. I have never liked the blood bags the Masters always gave me once I stopped feeding on the ones torturing me, but this, her blood, her taste, it’s just like heaven. I move my hand from the front of her throat to the back of her neck and put my other hand on the ground beside her head so that I can push myself up onto my knees pulling her with me, without separating or stopping my drinking. As I lean on my knees and her thighs, I wrap my arms around her, holding her tighter and tighter as I pull her more into my body and continue to drink, not wanting this heavenly feeling to stop. "I give myself to you. I love you! RILEY! - ROMEO!" I don't know what it was, whether it was in her voice or the fact that she relaxed more into my hold, that made me realise that her heart was slowing and I was in fact killing her! I stop my deep pulls on her neck
THIRD PERSON Over the next 36 hours, Romeo works with Theodore, showing him how to remove the devices from around the other supernaturals in their cavern cells before repairing and modifying his neck device, knowing that he has to put it back on and return to Skylar. It started small. It was something that he had noticed over the time he was on a mission with Devlin or Archer. He started to feel weak if he was away from Skylar for too long. Kolby tested it one day to find that he could spend a max of 72 hours away from Skylar before his body would send him into a seizure, and the only thing to stop it was Skylar’s touch and then a small amount of her blood. This strange connection they had was a reason why any mission Romeo was to do, Skylar either accompanied them or it was done within 60 hours. During the war, Vlad sent Kolby with Skylar to feed Romeo every 60 hours to keep him under control and not lose the best asset they had
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
