As soon I materialized in my room, I saw red. How the fuck had a wolf gotten into my room, and why was he attacking Mary. My aura lashes out, my beast wanting to destroy the wolf who had his hands all over what was ours. The words came out of my mouth before I could stop them. “Get the fuck off my mate.” “Mmm..mmm… mate?”the wolf stuttered, finally realizing the exact amount of danger he was in. Mary raised her head and looked up at me with a questioning look. I knew she wasn’t going to let what I said go and I would have to explain it later, but right now I needed to deal with these damn mutts who thought they could take over my fucking throne and rape my mate. I let my beast loose, allowing him to attack the wolf. We tore him off of Mary, and slammed him into the wall with enough force that it cracked the wall, bits and pieces falling down, exposing some of the bathroom. The wolf let out a small whine, before retreating completely, leaving his pathetic human to finish the fight
I followed Kade quietly to the Queen's suite, my mind racing with the events that had occurred today. Nikolai had called me his mate; what did that entail, and why had the Beta wolf stated that I was a weakness to Nikolai? Would I become a target for his enemies? Was my life in more danger now than it had previously been. Would whatever relationship I had with Nikolai differ from what it was currently. When I reached the Queen's quarters, I was greeted by a shriek; my heart skipped a beat, thinking someone had been injured. "Mary," Nevaeh screamed, engulfing me in her arms. "I thought something terrible had happened to you; Kade had said something had occurred in the King's chambers and that his presence was needed, and when he dropped me off in the Queen's room, and you weren't here…" Nevaeh sobbed, "I thought, that perhaps that Nikolai had lost control of his rage, due to your obtuseness of behaving, and he'd killed you." She continued to sob, pulling me into a tight bone-crushing
I pulled away from Mary, hesitating; I wasn't sure if right now was the appropriate time to be doing this. I didn't want her to wake up tomorrow morning and regret it, "Are you sure you want to do this?" I ask her as I pull away, staring into her eyes, looking for even the slightest trace of hesitation. Mary reached up and grabbed my neck, bringing my chest back against hers; I could feel her taut nipples through my shirt. I could smell her arousal and her ache for me. It took everything I had to wait for her confirmation that this was what she wanted. "Yes, Nikolai, I'm sure." Her voice huskily responded, "Please make love to me and help me forget." Her lip trembled slightly; I wasn't sure if it was because of tonight's events or because she was afraid I would reject her. I placed my body weight softly on top of hers, my arms beside her head to help keep me propped up a little. "You're the most beautiful woman I have ever seen," I whispered in her ear; I could feel the heat of he
The wolves were getting anxious. I don’t know how long my brother and I will be able to continue our false pretense of being on their territory. “Tell me dragon shifter, why is King Nikolai so interested in the mate bond.” Purred the Alpha Wolf. “I am not sure.” Draq responded with his voice and face void of emotion. “Tell me seer,” the alpha wolf sneered, standing from his chair, causing it to go flying backwards and he placed his hands roughly on the desk, leaving an impression, “does this have anything to do with the blood slave he has hiding in his chambers.” My gaze flickered to my brother’s for the briefest of moments, how did Alpha Ash know about Mary. And how did he know Nikolai kept Mary in his chambers, was there a mole in the palace. Only Nikolai’s most trust advisors were allowed on the kings floor, surely one of them wouldn’t have traded the King’s secrets. I was unable to hide my emotions quick enough at the shocking mention of Mary, the Alpha wolf smiled slyly. “So
Nikolai has been incredibly distant since the night we made love. The only time I see him is at night when it’s time for bed, and even then, it’s nothing romantic. It’s just a formality with his need to protect me. He hand’t even fed from me, and it made me curious, if not a little jealous, as I began to wonder where he was getting his blood from. I tried not to let his distance bother me. It was better this way. I wouldn’t be tied to him and I could still avenge my family’s murders, as soon as I was able to get out of this prison. It seems like a strong word, but since the attacks, that is what the palace feels like. I’m only allowed to leave the confines on the King’s quarters to attend meals. I was no longer allowed to go to the village or even walk around the gardens. The only visitor I was allowed was Nevaeh, and she seemed to be coming around less frequently as if she didn’t want to be associated with me, a nobody. Nikolai had ordered guards to escort me and wait for me outside
What is so damn important that you had to interrupt me?” I ask Kade scowling at him, I had been in a foul mood ever since I became fully aware of the fact that Mary was indeed my mate. It’s not that I didn’t want her to be my mate. She was absolutely perfect for me. She was the light to my darkness, she was willing to challenge me when no one else dared. She was my divine gift and I wasn’t willing to give her up, but it terrified me that she was human. Mary was my ultimate weakness. Once the supernatural world learned that I had taken a human as my mate, they’d do anything and everything in the power to take her from me, they’d use her as a bargaining chip against me, some may even kill her just to spite me, or torture her for information. I couldn’t protect Mary at every turn and that’s what terrified me. My mate was at risk because of me and my status in the world. “We have information.” Kade responded, his tone short and clipped. Kade was pissed at me that I wouldn’t confirm if Ma
Lady Mary has disappeared. She is not in your room, nor is she anywhere else in the castle.” The guard said timidly looking down at the ground. I felt my heart skip a beat. Mary was missing, my mate had left me. I felt myself losing control over my vampire. He wanted to hunt down Mary and force her back home and have his way with her until she was too sore to even think about running away. It took all of my strength to shove him down. I didn’t have time to lose focus. The Alpha summit was in two days time and I was expected to be there, the King’s presence was required to keep the peace. If I didn’t show, there would be carnage, and then even more supernaturals would try to take my throne from me. I wanted to say fuck it, and abdicate my throne, but I couldn’t let my people down. They needed a just leader, this wasn’t the time for me to lose myself. “ I am leaving for the Alpha’s summit in two days time. I need Mary found before then. I want everyone looking for her. No stone will b
The further I entered into the forest, the more quiet it got. It made me nervous, I wasn’t naive, I knew there were monsters in these woods, monsters more evil than the ones who pretended to be in touch with their humanity. These monsters were rouges, they’d lost all traces of their humanity to the beasts inside of them. I walked stealthily through the woods, hoping to not attract to much attention. I cursed when my foot landed on a stick, making a loud cracking sound. The birds in the trees took off, flying through the skies. I glanced around at my surroundings, holding my breath, hoping that no other animal had heard the sound. I let out a sigh of relief, no one had discovered my presence, at least not yet. I continued to trek through the forest, the trees getting denser, making the forest darker. I knew that soon I would have to stop and make camp somewhere, unlike the supernatural creatures that roamed this forest, I couldn’t see at night. I knew that I would need to find somewhe
