He should have added that part of the testiness he was going to be feeling would be coming from his mate. She was worried and fretting with everything and everybody in his pack stood watching her and she straightened and straightened again an ornament before she moved to another minor detail that Cole did not even knew he had. “I thought she had an amazing relationship with her mother?” Drew asked Cole, Cole had been staying away from his third and rarely involved him in things which he does not have to. The most being his mate, while Brett was aware of the full story between his mate and her mother, Drew came up with his conclusions based on general knowledge and assume that it was true and Cole didn’t do anything to correct his conclusions and now, since the question was direct, he had to provide an answer to satisfy Drew, the very last thing he wanted to do.“She does but it is complicated.” Cole responded, just because he had to supply an answer doesn’t mean he would do it as soo
“Wait, what do you mean by a race crystal is missing, who would have taken it?” Myra asked and Cole just shook his head. “Not now Myra.” He said tiredly, looking weary suddenly. Myra knew it was serious since he called her name not his pet version of it. “I need to call Carson and Vince and inform them, the next few hours would be busy, and can you go and get some sleep?” He asked Myra who shook her head. “I want to be by your side.” She protested and Cole shrugged as he moved to his office with Brett and Myra following him, Brett giving him more details about what happened. On getting to the office, Cole opened his laptop and looked at the security footage only to see that the camera was covered for some seconds, when the cover was removed. The crystal was missing. Cole sighed as he reached for his phone. He called Carson first, wanting the difficult one out of the way. “Do you have any idea what the time is?” Carson snaps. “Evening.” Cole replied, both as an answer to his ques
Myra noticed that her mate hurt, he might be displaying anger at the realization that he was betrayed by more than one person on his pack, something serious was going on, something which was getting more confusing to her by the second but it did not prevent her from knowing that her mate needed comfort., she would make Cole tell her what was going on later on but as for now, she stepped closer to Cole. “Hey.” She said softly. “Not your fault that stupid people exist, they will always exist but at least look at it this way, you will get to remove their heads when you find them out and nobody will accuse you of abusing your power.” She said and hugged Cole who held her tight. Carson rolled his eyes and wanted to give a snide remark but Vince glared at him and he swallowed his words but Gwen spoke quickly. “Why is that crystal pulsing?” Gwen drew everybody attention to a crystal that looked like it was alive.They moved closer to it. “It seems like it is alive.” Brett replied. “That
“You know that I can help you right?” Myra said to Cole when they were sleepy, both from the game of tag and the sex marathon that followed. “Hmm.” Cole asked, his hand unconsciously drawing shapes on Myra’s shoulder as she laid, half on top of him as she always does whenever they go to sleep.“I said that I could help, you know with the issue on ground.” Myra repeated. Cole body tensed. “I just found you, I am not ready for you to place yourself in danger.” “Thanks for the vote of confidence.” Myra snaps at Cole. “I am serious.” Cole rolled their position until he was lying on top of Myra, although he supported his frame with his arms. “I don’t want to lose you, it is preferable, that you stay as far away from this as you can.” “And I will stay as far way from it as I can Sheesh, it is not like I am asking you to make me a warrior and send me into a battlefield when one does not even exists yet.” Myra complained as Cole looked at her. “What is it that you mean then?” “I mean
Cole got angrier as the seconds tick by, Myra was taking her sweet time in coming home and normally she push the time and she always apologizes but this time she was taking it too far. Cole got up from his perch on their bed and started pacing when Myra teleported into the room. “You are still awake, good, you would never guess who I met today in the Vampires library.” Myra bounced to her mate, not minding the conflict she felt in their bond, these days, Cole was always wound up about something, and she had marked where she was at the library today, she was not planning on going back unless she had forced out what was wrong with Cole out of him because whenever she had asked previously, he always shook his head and tell her that he was fine. “Tony, that’s who.” Myra exclaimed as she started taking off her clothes still talking at the speed of a mile per minute.Cole mood grew stormier hearing the name of the person who must have kept her late. “He was researching some things for C
“I thought I told you to take care of whatever was wrong with Myra.” Brett frowned when he saw Cole the next morning, he had dark circles under his eyes. “I tried to, only I said the wrong things and accused her and now she is missing.” Cole explained. “I know.” Brett responded as Cole turned to look at him in shock. “How…” “You were not really silent yesterday when you were yelling that she cheated on you. What were you thinking?” Brett asked his Alpha as he proceeded to walk past where Cole was standing and towards the warriors in training who were acting like they were not listening. They were. Shifters love drama almost as much as they love giving their animals enough rein so they would not build pressure on their skulls. “She mentioned Tony and I just…” Cole started but Brett shook his head. “Lost it, flew into a haze and sprout out words to your mate who has the power to teleport away and she exercise that power against you, leaving you stuck with your foot in your mouth
Myra might have promised to remain within the boundaries of Cole’s knowledge but that did not mean that she has to be in the same settlement as him. And with that in mind, she moved from one settlement to another, even if she was not within sights, all any shifter had to do was see her and within ten minutes, Cole knew where she was. Still that did not prevent her from trying to give Cole grey hair. Myra also never thought that her actions might land her in trouble one day until she teleported to a shifter settlement that seemed backwards in nature. Sure most of the shifters settlements she teleported to were within forest reserves, still it didn’t change that they still use some modern utilities to make their lives better. That was why she chose to remain behind to see what was different about this set of persons. She was walking around in the camp when the stares increased. “You know you ought not to be here.” A girl who appeared to be Myra’s age said to Myra when she wandered clo
They were at Cole’s study and Myra was still looking at Moe who appeared like she was in some kind of shock. Myra understood completely because she herself was just in that kind of same shock when she learnt that her mate was a shifter, not that she was surprised by the fact that he is a king or anything but she guessed that was what made Moe to be in shock. “I honestly cannot believe you Myra, you went to that settlement, what on earth…” Cole rages and Brett hits Cole. When Cole glared at his friend, he sighed. “Alpha, remember the last time you ran your mouth with your mate, you want something worse than that to happen?” Cole grumbled but wisely stopped talking. Myra shook her head after watching them as she approached Moe who was staying far from the shifter king as possible. “Moe…” Myra called and Moe gaze which was on Cole and Brett moved to Myra and while her gaze was on the shifter king, it displayed fear and terror like, Cole was a second away from going after her throat
Myra knew that with her telling Cole the news, his over protective instinct was going to be in overdrive and there was nothing which she could do about that but she didn’t expect him to try and imprison her. “Be serious Cole.” I will not allow you to keep me in the room while I will relate what happened with the angels to the others through a voice call. Be serious.” “I am completely serious. It is not like they need to see your presence, they would completely understand why I am keeping you to myself and it would be good practice for them since they will to see you in a while…” Cole answered. “Now, you are just insane if you think I will remain in this room, during the term of this pregnancy.” Myra rolled her eyes at Cole. “Not, this room. I will make the wing out of boundary and you can move around.” Cole replied seriously. Myra sighed, she was getting tired of this from Cole. “You are going to have to cut back on this instincts of yours because there is no way I would let you
It was all wrong. The timing and everything. Cole woke up to see that his castle was under attack. Something which he was not prepared for. They were overwhelmed before they could even send for help. And the help was not coming in time the rogue wolves who had ran away formed majority of the army with a few other races involved but they were all focusing their attention on a settlement with less than a hundred persons in it. They were losing and very badly too. “We have to leave in the next five minutes or we are all dead.” Brett said to Cole through the pack link, they were fighting and lost at different location, killing and maiming the ones which they could get their hands on. “Okay, then I will call for a retreat soon.” Cole called back at Brett but his heart was heavy, there was no way in which he wanted to call for a retreat all by himself, he didn’t want that option but he had no choice, the shifter world would be greatly demoralized if they retreated and could not defend th
Myra noticed the portal after she landed on Moe. How could she not? When it was the only thing that was giving off light in the place. Something which after a quick look around, proved to be an underground cave. The portal was pulsing with its aqua blue light, the rhythm close to that of a heartbeat. “I know that you are stunned but can you please no0t be stunned while you are on top of me. Your weight is much you know.” Moe groaned from other Myra and Myra quickly stood up from where she was crushing Moe to the ground and helped her to stand while apologizing. “So sorry Moe.” “It’s okay, you were stunned which is understandable but I will pay you back for it in the future no worries.” Moe replied with a smile before she noticed the light and her smile wiped off. “What is that?” She asked, adoration was present in her voice as she moved closer to it as if it was captivating her. When Moe passed Myra as if she wanted to continue towards the light, Myra grabbed a hold of Moe and th
Courtney appeared late that day in the Vince castle once more, hoping to see if she could talk to Vince first about what was going on before she could face the mates of the two women who she left behind. She didn’t know what was going on between Caleb and Moe but at least Caleb was willing to say that he felt a connection between them but nothing more. Her luck ran out because when she appeared, Cole and Carson alongside with Vince were the ones who were in the study this time around. That was the only place in Vince home where he allowed other vampires to be teleporting to. “Courtney?” Carson said as they all turned to look at her. They were all surprised to see her like Gwen and the rest didn’t mention anything about her visiting at first. And now she just had to ruin it. “You are back?” Cole asked smiling then he paused as he frowned. “Why can’t I still feel Myra as much as I normally can? Is she waiting for me at our home?” Courtney cringed as she rubbed the back of her head
“Finally, you are here.” Myra turned fully to look at Moe from where she had sat down waiting for Moe to come back with Courtney. Myra frowned when she saw that the said person was not with Moe. “Don’t tell me that she refused to come back with you. I am getting tired of the push and pull that we have going on. Yes she is older than us and basically hates me because I am a succubus, she should get over herself already.” Myra responded with an angry growl as she stood up and started to pace around. “Would you stop getting yourself worked up, what did I tell you about this?” Moe snapped at Myra who frowned. “Fine, I will, let’s go and meet her royal majesty.” Myra rolled her eyes but Moe sighed. “Courtney went back home Myra.” Moe said and when Myra was silent, she hurriedly added. “News was circulating round that the three councils have declared war on an enemy which they don’t see and it was what sent her back home.” Moe explained and then the fury which she was expecting from Myra
Myra could barely stand Courtney anymore, she had had it up to her throat. And that was because she didn’t want to disgrace either the ubis or shifter race but Courtney had no qualms about disgracing the vampires races. From backhanded comments to her actions where she acted like she was above Myra and Moe. Myra was tempted to remind her that Moe was in the same level as her while she was a queen and so Courtney was supposed to be beneath her. Moe was the one helping her to keep her anger under a lid but Courtney last statement made Myra angry, so angry that the cup tipped over. “If you have something to say about me why don’t you say it to my face?” Myra said as she advanced towards Courtney, Moe tried to hold Myra but she shrugged off Moe’s hold getting closer to Courtney who didn’t bat an eyelash. “And if I do say it to your face, what are you going to do about it? It is not like it is going to change anything, I am perfectly okay with my word being said how I want them to be sai
“Are you not supposed to be with your mate?” Carson asked Vince while yawning. Vince, the vampire council and the shifter’s council came to Carson’s castle to hold a meeting. At night. When nobody was expecting them.“He came with me,” Gwenn stated as she popped from behind Vince back to his front where she grinned at Carson. “Your place is the first place aside from our home that our child has been since he was born.”“And you should feel damn lucky about that fact since it was never my plan to drag them away from safety.” Vine said and Carson frowned. “Then why did you?”“Because we need to hold this meeting at your place dimwit, so that we can show that we are a united force and your home is out of boundaries to the insurgents who broke in. so now can we come in or are you going to keep us standing outside like we have nothing better to do with our time?” Cole asked. ‘Carson hesitated like he wanted them tell them no but at the end of the day, he dropped the shield round them and
Cole really hates meeting with his council of pompous shifters and their thoughts which should not have left the recess of their mind. It always tend to make him be in a bad mood. He was hoping that they would remember how the last meeting with his mate who was present, how it went like before they opened their mouths to annoy him. Then again, that a hope too much for these sets of individuals because from the moment he arrived they crowded him, demanding answers to questions about a situation which they were more aware of than him and they refused to allow him check on the damaged which was wroth to his own settlement and how many of his pack he had lost. “I need to check on my people.” Cole voice, trying to keep his voice steady and empty from any of the anger which he was feeling at the whole situation. “No, you need to tell us what is going on. You need to attend to us.” One of them stated and Cole growled. “You forget your place Lion. Need I remind you that I am king and I do
Cole threw the door open to see Jessica and Odred behind Brett. “What do you mean that wolves have gone rogue?” Cole demanded. “I mean just that Alpha.” Brett was breathing hard and that was when Cole took a step back, away from Brett face, giving him room to breathe as he took notice of Brett’s appearance. He had cuts and scrapes all over his face and arms. His clothes were soiled with mud and blood and Cole couldn’t tell if some of it were Brett’s own. “What happened?” Cole asked. “I wish that I could have an answer for you Cole but I don’t know. One minute everything was alright, the next, it was like a switch was flipped somewhere and half of the wolves in our settlements started attacking others. They caused serious damage while others tried to defend themselves and then in the middle of fighting them off, alarms started going off as other settlement started requesting for help. It was when Odred roared that the wolves fled and then I answered and told them that they could hu
