Chapter 55- Elnora POV
Lawler and Theo race to my side to help me up. My concentration is on Sabastian. “Where are you?” I ask him. “Please help me.” “Tell me where you are,” I demand. “I don’t know.” My demands calm him down. “What do you see around you?” “Nothing, they have a bag over my head. I cannot see anything.” “How far away did they take you? Are you still in the Kingdom?” “I am in another Kingdom for sure, and I went through two portals.” His words are evening out as he speaks to me. “What do you smell?” “Something sweet. I can’t make it out, though. Your nose would be able to pick it up, though. It is sweet, though.” “Have they hurt you?” I finally ask. “Nothing that I won’t heal from with some time and blood.” “Have you overheard them say anything?” “I have heard a few thin
Chapter 56- Lawler POV Elnora has just stalked off down the hallway. She will probably make herself a pot of coffee and stew over my words for a little while. Something that I am completely happy to let her do. She doesn’t need to be worrying about what is to come or what just happened. If she is mad at me, her mind is not on Sabastian or what is outside. “We need to talk about what happened tonight.” Looking over to Theo, I wait for his response. “She is not only human, is she?” His question sends shivers down my spine that he can see she is not fully human. “Give me your word that you will not repeat what I am about to tell you.” “You have my word like always, Sir. I will keep the secrets of the King and Queen into my death.” His word gives me the power to open up to him and tell him what I k
Chapter 57- Lawler POV I have finally caught up with Theo in the second living room. “You are right, Theo. Thank you for putting me in my place. I hate that you had to do it, but you are right.” I can admit defeat when needed, and right now, I need Theo on my side as well as Elnora’s. He nods his head in my direction, and that is the only communication he grants me. “You need to call her by Queen and not her name.” I insist as we continue down the hallway and look into the pool area. “She requested I call her Elnora. She wants to have a little piece of herself left.” His answer shocks me. I didn’t think of something so simple affecting her. My expression must have been written on my face because his following words were kinder. “She is a wonderful addition to our Kingdom. If she requests that I call her by her name, I will do so. After a conversation with
Chapter 58-Lawler POVApologizing to Elnora was one of the easiest things I ever had to do. It felt so good to come clean to her about what I knew and my plans for Sabastian. I know she is probably mad at me deep down, but it must be really deep down. I crawl to keep up with her as she pushes herself up the bed into the position that she desires. Once she stops, her arms reach out for my head and wrap softly around my neck. She pulls me gently to her as she kisses me. Her legs wrap around mine, and I love every moment of it until she kicks my knees out from under me. I brace myself the best that I can as the lower half of my body lands on her. “Much better. I want to feel you.” The desire in her voice sends my body into overdrive. I can feel my growing erecting against her thigh as she bites my lip. “That’s a good boy. Grow for me. I want you hard.” Her voice is n
Chapter 59- Sabastian POVI had just approached the Queen when she asks“How are you doing this evening?” She is such a wonderful person. So caring and kind, I think to myself before answering her. “It is I who should be asking you that and if I can get you anything.” I laugh at her. “Maybe, but I asked first.” She snickers at me, and I know I have no choice but to answer her. “I am doing well. Thank you for asking.” “Did you have some cake?” “I did. Like everything that Hildi makes, it was delicious.” “I would have to agree with you.” As her words leave her lips, I can feel that I am being called. It can’t be, can it? The voice calls my name again, and I know that I must leave, I must answer the call, I cannot ignore the call of a King. The King? I question myself as I feel my body beginning to go weak. I must go to who calls
Chapter 60- Sabastian POV The sun is shining in the new Kingdom that we have entered. My mind feels fuzzy here. Something feels off and different as I see the shadows of the day through the bag over my head. I bobble on Mikes's back for a long while before he finally enters a building, and the sun is off my back. As my body relaxes from the heat that was beaming on it, my nerves shift into overdrive. I know if we are inside a building, I am about to know who requested me, and things will become painful. “Pretend the medicine hasn’t worn off for as long as you can. The longer it is that you cannot talk to them, the longer we have to get you out of here.” Mike whispers so low I am unsure I heard him correctly. Do I trust his words, keep my mouth shut, and let the blame fall onto them for the drugs they used on me, or do I open my mouth? Thinking
61-Sabastian POV How? It was all I could muster in my mind. How could he be standing in front of me right now? He died a horrific death. The look on my face amuses him, and he laughs at me. “Having trouble figuring this one out, aren’t you, Sabastian?” He finally speaks as he twirls the pipe around his head.As he questions me, I remember Mike’s warning, “Pretend the medicine hasn’t worn off for as long as you can. The longer it is that you cannot talk to them, the longer we have to get you out of here.” I have two choices, I can take Mike’s word and not say a word, or I can speak. I cannot go back to not talking once I start, so for now, I will be quiet, I decide.“Forgot your manners in the time I have been gone, haven’t you?” As he asks the question, he swings the pipe and hits me in my side, hard. Screaming out in pain was ea
62-Sabastian POVI can see his erection as clear as day, and it makes me want to vomit. It is not a sight I have ever wanted to witness before and would rather never again see. “You are going to be a good girl and put that tight little pussy on my dick.” He instructs her. “You do not have my consent, and I am only doing this because you are forcing me. Please repeat that.” I watch as she stands before him and strips to her panties. She doesn’t move from her position in front of him in her black lace thong as she waits for his reply. “Yeah yeah. I do not have your consent, and I am forcing you to do this. My dick isn’t getting any harder.” He demands. Izzy reluctantly straddles him again. This time I watch as she moves her panties to the side and allows him to slip inside her. Instantly I am livid. “Does he look pleased?” Her wor
Chapter 63- Sabastian POV I have just agreed to be marked by Izzy. I follow her as she quickly leads me by the hand to a small room behind where I have been strapped to a chair. “What is this?” I ask, walking in the room and looking around. A small bed, a desk, and a mini-refrigerator occupy the space. “This is the room that is given to the person who needs to administer your drugs.” “So, your room?” I ask. “Yup. I have only been giving you a sleeping drug, for the record, not the drugs they want me to give you. So each time you get it, you sleep and regain your strength. I add blood to it each time to give it the same color as the original drug and also to help make you just a little bit stronger. I really am trying to keep you safe.” Her saddened tone draws me closer to her. “I know you are, and I know that everything is going to be ok. Our King will co
Hello wonderful readers!It has been a privilege to write for you these past months. Your continued support brought me joy and the strength to bring you this book. This book has allowed me to show my children how determination looks. I am going to tell you a secret that I told my children and my family while writing this book- "I am writing for the one person reading right now. If they read for a day or read all of the chapters, I will finish it for them." This gave me the push I needed to continue. When I felt like I was slowing down or getting tired, I thought of you. Thank you for being there on my feed showing me that you were reading. I needed that support, and you gave it to me even if it were only a few moments.As it has ended I have decided to ask you, my reader, if you would be interested in reading a shorter sequel. You can let me know in a short comment, and I will happily begin working on one for you. Stories are a wonderful way to escape the world a
Chapter 171- Elnora POV Everyone has taken their seats and turned their attention to us. “We have learned within our Kingdom that for every problem we have, there is a silver lining. Once again, our King and Queen prevailed, and with their victory, we gained a new King and Queen in training. A gift to our Kingdom that we all thank you for granting to us.” Sabastian bows to all of us before continuing. “When Lawler began seeing you, Elnora, in the human world during the cover of night, he started changing for the better. He started becoming the King he had always wanted to become. Then when you entered our world and completed your mark, you granted him the strength needed to be the best version of King he could be. A gift he has granted your son and our future King. It is my honor to welcome you into our Kingdom not only as our Queen and friend but as the wife of my best friend.” &nbs
Chapter 170- Elnora POV Blow after blow; we watch as the pair of them struggle. "How is he still standing?" I link with Harmony. "Magic, they have witches on his side that are keeping his strength up.” "Can we break it?" I beg. "No, not unless we find the witches and the magic is not coming from here." Harmony sounds defeated. "I cannot live on without him.” "You will have to, for your children." Harmony moves to my side and takes my hand as we watch in horror. Lawler is beginning to lose, and I have had enough. How can I stop this? I ask myself. We watch as his father lifts his hand one last time, and as he does, I know this will be the blow that knocks Lawler unconscious. "STOP!" Tavin demands as he walks forward. My attention doesn't leave Lawler and his position, but the command stops the blow. "You are to remove yourself from his bo
Chapter 169- Elnora POV My spell is working. Lawler has a bloody nose as he stands, but nothing more. On the other hand, his father is bleeding profusely and has a broken nose. “What did you do?” He calls out. “I did nothing,” Lawler responds to him. His father struggles to his feet, and when he finally makes it, he throws another punch into Lawler’s stomach. I watch in amazement as Lawler hardly flinches and his father withers on the ground in pain. “Just toss him in the dungeon, and we will deal with him another day.” I request. “Stay back.” Sabastian pulls me from my waist backward towards the beach. I can see what he sees from this position, and people surround us we do not know. I lock eyes with Sabastian, and he nods his head. I look to Talvin and link with him first. “I am calling in back up; tu
Chapter 168- Elnora POV “You look beautiful,” Merrick announces as he enters the room and sees me standing on the dressing platform. “Thank you.” He offers his hand for me to step down after the last adjustment to my dress is made, and I take it. “Really, you are glowing. I am so happy for you.” He states as he walks with me to the door. “Are you sure you boys are ok with me getting married?” I ask him. “Mom, he already adopted us, and we took his last name. We signed off on that paper. Of course, we are ok with you getting married. Finally, we will all have the same last name again. You are the only odd man out.” He pokes fun at me. “I don’t want to upset any of you.” “This has been the best five years anyone could have ever asked for. Trust me, and we are all here for you. If you need me to make a distraction today, just say the word bab
Chapter 167- Elnora POV Vampires can drink a lot before feeling even the slightest buzz from consumption. Today, I am saying prayers to the porcelain gods of Harmony’s guest bathroom, or should I say my room at her house. I feel horrible. My bachelorette party was the best party I have ever been to in my life. Even the creatures that were invited had a blast and drank with us. A soft knock sounds on the bathroom door. “No one is home.” I joke. “I have some tea that will help you feel better,” Sydney calls softly. “Come in.” Granting her access, I wipe my mouth and sit on the floor. “Feeling pretty bad, I see.” “Yeah.” “Harmony said this tea will help you feel better.” “Will it, though?” I ask as I take it from her hands. “She made me some, and I feel completely norma
Chapter 166- Elnora POV Relief. That is the feeling that consumes me when Lawler announces that his father is alive. His face looks horrified and like he is waiting for me to bolt at any moment, but instead, I move to him and sit in his lap. “Oh, Lawler.” I hug him tightly. “I know you are angry.” He begins. “No, I am not. I am relieved more than you will ever know. This is honestly not even close to the things that I was thinking. This is the lesser of the evils that had gone through my mind. I wish you would have told me sooner so I could tell you.” “Tell me what?” “We had your fathers’ blood. We have put a barrier up in our Kingdom, and along with the portals for all the Kingdoms, he cannot get in. There is no way he will ever get you here.” “Spells can be broken.”“They can, but they are pretty good spells. We also have backup p
Chapter 165- Elnora POV Lawler has been distant this week. Not in the mental sense; when he is with me, he is with me entirely. Communication is on point, and he makes sure all of my needs are met, but physically, he is distant. Theo insists that he is working on something, and everything is fine. I know better, though; I can feel it deep down in my soul that something is off. Something has presented itself, and he is trying to handle it without me knowing. I have considered that it was information on Brogan, but Leon comes to me every day after he scouts with any information he has or doesn’t have. Looking out over the ocean from our balcony, I drink my tea in peace. I finally switched from coffee a few years ago when Tiffany insisted I learn the difference in taste and smell in herbs so that I would never fall prey to someone trying to drug me. Over the
Chapter 164- Lawler POV For five years, I have searched for proof that my father was alive or dead, never to find a whisper of the truth. Now I find out that he is alive and coming for me just as I have something important happening in my life. “Do you know when?” I ask as I rub the irritation from my face. “By the next full moon.” He replies. The full moon was the night before last; I have about a month. I begin to calculate what needs to be done before anything happens. “What do you know of the puddle?” I ask standing, producing the blade of grass. “Oh, right. About that.” He stutters. “Touch it.” I insist. “You already know your answer.” He counters. “I need to see for myself.” Holding it closer to him, I watch as he picks it up and peals it apart. Nothing happens; he is the
