“Do you think that what Moe said was the truth?” Cole asked Brett, Myra had left with Moe after she realized that she almost died earlier and now it was left with Cole and Brett who knew that they had a lot to talk about. “You mean, your mate friend.” Brett corrected and when Cole glared at him, he shrugged. “It is not my fault that your mate still don’t regard you as a friend, that is all on you.” Brett replied and Cole was tempted to pick Brett up by the scruff of his neck and throw him out of the window as if he was a rag doll. “Let us talk about the more important one…” Cole started. “And with words like that, you ensure that the box you place your mate in will remain unimportant but let’s go ahead.” Brett shifted out on the seat he was sitting it and Cole sighed. “I know that it is strange but I am not surprised, I am just shocked.” Cole answered. “Disappointed and also hurt.” “You killed their pride and joy to attain your position.” Brett reminded Cole who shook his head.
“I thought that you were angry with her?” Brett pointed out the next morning when Moe and Myra were talking in the kitchen like they have been best of friends for a very long time. “I was.” Moe answered. “But we are not like shifter men who carry grudges for a long period of time.” “Yeah, I am not even a shifter at all but we reunited after we discovered our mutual hatred for one.” Myra explained. “Not your husband right?” Brett asked consciously. “Of course not.” Myra responded with an eye roll. ”My gender argue because of mutual like of a male and agree because of a mutual dislike over a female. General knowledge.” Brett nodded even if he was certain that this was the first time that he was hearing something like that. “Right, so who is this hated female?”It was that moment that Trisha choose to walk into the room where she was ordering a lesser ranking female around, dictating orders for the woman to follow. The poor woman even had a book and pen with her and was taking notes
For the first part of the duel between Moe and Trisha, Myra was tempted to power Moe up, there was enough reason why she had that feeling, Moe was being beaten heavily by Trisha who seemed to be in a rage that someone dared to challenge her and the only thing which stayed Myra’s hand was the fact that Moe didn’t seem too bothered by Trisha show of strength. Myra understood better when Trisha started to be tired, her burst of energy being exhausted, that was when Moe started. They all had forgotten the race which Moe came from, a shifting animal whose normal counterparts had gone extinct and was now seen as mythical, a griffin who was just as majestic as a dragon. And also a battle animal. Moe had Trisha pinned to the ground within a second with her arm up under Trisha neck. “All I need is a little more pressure to remove your head.” Moe stated. “Foul.” Taylor cried out, Myra who was watching the fight from the edge of the ring turn to look at Taylor. “She was heavily beaten, tha
First time for Cole to take someone to the neutral ground as his significant other and he was feeling strange about it. “I don’t get why you are nervous to meet them, I thought you always did.” Myra stated as Cole dropped her bag on the ground where the rest of their bags were. “Yes, I always did but never with a visible weakness.” Cole answered and When Myra turned to glare at him, he corrected his words. “I don’t mean it that way, what I meant to say is that, I have always been invisible but now, everybody will see how much you mean to me. They are aware of the fact that I have a mate yes but they never seen my interaction with you. And now that they will, they will know that I am willing to let the world burn to the ground if anything happen to you. And the place will be filled with beings who can easily make anything happen to you.”“I would be offended thinking that you don’t trust my power if I don’t know that you are trying to pay me a compliment. We need to work on your conv
Myra sat on Cole’s laps as the three major race held something of an emergency meeting, a meeting which was not planned but it was necessary as Caleb, the artistic vampire leader who was not much in the public’s eyes before the betrayal was now pacing around, looking every bit as stressed as he was at first when he was made to leave the shadows and be more hands on about his race. “I cannot have a mate…” Caleb blurted out and Moe winced visibly. “No, no. Please I don’t mean it that way. Please don’t take it the wrong way.” Caleb rushed out but it didn’t change the fact that Moe was now looking at him with rapidly cooling eyes as if she was skeptical about him. Caleb felt the need to reassure her and remove the look of hurt which she was carefully disguising from her eyes but he had to stop himself just as soon as he took a step towards her. He cannot give her fake reassurances. Not when he could not offer her anything.“Then explain the way you mean it.” Cole growled out. Vince rol
Myra really wanted to go outside and maybe take a breath, all alone without disturbing anybody with her anger. She will stick to that lie forever if she was asked because she didn’t even miss a step after she stepped out of the room where others were, she allowed her feet to carry her to where Moe was which was her designated room and when she was outside the room, she was tempted to knock and announce herself but Cole and others will hear so she teleported herself into the room. “You know, when someone leaves that way, she wants privacy so you should obey her wishes and give her just that Myra.” Moe stated, her voice firm even though it was a little hoarse as if she needed to clear it well before she spoke but she was too stubborn to do that. Something which Myra could see herself doing if she was in the situation. “Nah, Privacy is overrated.” Myra returned as she took a seat close to Moe and patted her back. “He is a very dumb, idiotic and foolish boy.”Moe tensed. “Myra, he hasn
“I hate the thought of Moe hurting. I cannot believe that he has the gut to not accept his mate at first sight.” Myra ranted even in Cole’s arms. Cole rolled his eyes as he waited for Myra to tire herself out, if he had known that she would continue to speak about another’s mating, he would have given her the co-ordinates of their room so she could appear there, after all he didn’t specifically find that knowledge not to use it. “You mean like you did.” Cole reminded her and Myra shook her head. “Not like me, certainly not like me and you know it. I was scared and my reason for being scared proved to be true didn’t it? I was banished from my people. What is his excuse, not staying true to his dead mate? Hypocrite!”“Why…” “Because I do know that he has not being celibate since his mate died. I don’t know why he is scared neither do I care but this is clearly too much. He shouldn’t have done it that way. He could have done a partial acceptance of her.” Myra continued and Cole shook
Caleb was already in deep pain, wondering what the hell was happening and why his being kept feeling like it was being spilt in twos. The pain started small, reached a crescendo and then return back to the small state all to begin again. He was not only tired of the pain but he was ready for it to end. He had even started to beg unseen entities that he wasn’t really the one who did the rejection and that it should not be possible for an acceptance to a rejection which he didn’t issue out. And even through the pain, thoughts came to his head, when his mate, Hannah had died, the pain he felt was self-induced, he went into isolation and was nearly feral and through that dark phrase, he still had control of himself and he could pull himself back from the brink of insanity. There was nothing self-induced about what he was feeling. He didn’t want to be disloyal but he cannot help but think that Hannah was not really his mate and that made him even more confused as to what was really happe
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
