SKYLAR
I whimper a little as he pulls back, breaking his kiss. We are both breathing heavily as I look into his eyes as he leans his forehead to mine, tears sting my eyes as I wonder what I had done wrong. He then closes his eyes for a moment before opening them and whispering.
“Skyler, did they?“
I see the worry in his eyes. I lift my head a little and shake it slowly as I whisper.
“No. Prince Riley and the amulet Savannah gave me stopped them.”
I feel as he relaxes under me as he sighs. He then lifts my hands to his lips, pressing his lips to them as he then whispers.
“I want you, Skylar, but I don't want our first time... Your first time to be rushed and in the back of an SUV. I want to love you as you give me your virginity…”
I feel that strangeness pulling at me, but as I look around us I realise that I didn't want to lose that part of myself to him in the backseat of a car l
THIRD PERSON As Julian pulls more and more moans out of Skylar as he works his way down her body until he reaches her private lips, even with all the pleasure overflowing within her at the touch of his lips and tongue she jumps and scrambles further onto the bed surprising and moving away from Julian. Julian looks up at Skylar as she looks at him with surprise and fear. Conner takes a little more control. He makes Julian lock his eyes with hers as he then slowly moves back up her body, sliding his hand on her cheek and whispering, “Shh, Skylar… It’s okay… Relax…” Not wanting to lose the pleasure or intimacy they were sharing, and as Conner is still being pushed by that compulsion to complete the mating between them, he taps into one of his vampire gifts and a little more of their pleasure venom. Conner fills their mouth with their venom, he uses his hand on her cheek to pull her up a little as he presses his lips to hers in a soft and gentle kiss, coaxing her lips apart so that he
SKYLAR Once our bodies calm again, he sets me on my feet and then surprises me as he grabs a shower sponge and proceeds to wash my entire body. I let out low moans as even without trying, the pleasure inside me slowly builds again. Once he has finished with my body, and places a soft kiss on my lips, I slide the shower sponge out of his hands and then proceed to wash him. Only as I kneel in front of him, coming face to face with his cock, does that strangeness return. I lick my lips and I watch as water makes the soap slide over his skin to the floor. When there is no soap covering him, I lick my lips once more before hesitantly lifting my hand, wrapping it around his cock before sliding my mouth over the tip and then all the way into my mouth. I smile a little as Julian lets out a low hiss and one hand weaves into my hair and the other goes to the wall of the shower. I start slowly, taking all of his cock into my mouth before pulling back and d
JULIAN Even though I saw her enter and approach me, I snapped my head to the side and hissed at her as I felt her hand on my arm. I then snap my head in my mother's direction as she takes a step toward the bed and scolds, “Julian. Manners.” I feel my eyes burn as Conner takes a little more control. However, this doesn’t faze my mother as Evelyn steps forward and hisses. “Conner…” Conner backs off a little at our mother's command. Teresa then whispers, “I’m not going to hurt her, Conner, but I do need to check her over. Can you pick her up and lay her on the bed?” Conner backs off a little more at her soft healer's tone. Not really thinking, I get to my feet with Skylar in my arms and walk over to the bed. I lie her down, and as Teresa approaches, I hiss at her again. Teresa stops and looks over her shoulder. I lift my eyes up over her head and once again see my mother, only this time her eyes are shining bright red as she says, “JULIAN…” I lower my head and move away from the
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 link
SEBASTIAN 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
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
