Cole thought all hope was lost. He really didn’t know what happened. One minute, he was introducing himself as the shifter king to this pack’s alpha, the next he knows, he was being attacked. This was the last settlement which he was supposed to visit and he still didn’t understand what happened and caused such a reaction in the shifter and his people. Fellow wolves like him. Who were fighting to the death and were refusing to stop, no matter how much he tried to tell them that he meant no harm. More wolves kept pouring out of the buildings, wolves which were not supposed to even be here. The population was way more than what was reported on paper. Cole knew that he would be able to decipher what was going on when he could think well but as for the moment, he needed to stay alive and that meant focusing on incapacitating those rushing towards him. That stopped working when they would heal themselves just so they could advance and then try to throw theirselves at him again. Then h
With each minute that Cole kept trying to wake Myra and she was not waking up was making Cole even more feral. By the end of ten minutes, he was already making growling sounds as she moved around Myra, he made sure the room was well ventilated, spoke to her softly to see if she would wake up to the sound of his voice but she didn’t. She remained still and pale like she was close to death doors. Brett entered the room, after knocking once. “Alpha.”“Where are they?” Cole growled. “On their way Alpha. Changes.” Brett replied. “None.” Cole growled then in a burst of anger hit the besides stool, shattering it. “You need to calm down Cole. That will not make her better, she would just sense your distress instead and that would make her more distressed.” Brett cautioned and Cole nodded even as he sat back down by Myra’s side on his bed and then he held her hand. A knock sounded on the door and then the door opened. Taylor was at the other side of the door with Vince and Carson. “Alpha…
“Just tell me that she will be alright now.” Cole stated and Marionette gave a jerky nod of her head. “She will be okay for now since this is the first time that something like this is happening but after this, I don’t know if she would still be okay if it happens again.” She responded. “Then it won’t.” Cole vowed. “I will protect her from it with everything that is in me.” “But sometimes even everything would not be enough to protect her with.” Marionette responded. “Why don’t you wake her up so that we can have a conversation about why she is the way she is.” Vince said in his usual cool voice but nobody could mistake the steel behind his words and the barely veiled anger. Marionette flinched at Vince words but still moved forward to Myra and then she drew Myra’s top to expose one collar bone and when it was exposed, her tattoo of entangled infinity symbols was displayed.“Her tattoo?” Cole asked. “It is not a tattoo, she must have told you that, it is a birthmark.” Myra stated
Second day after Myra woke up, Cole was still with her in their room, he refused to face the world just yet, still wanting to be around his mate who was still very angry with her mother. After the angry fit she threw that day, Cole kicked everybody out of the room and had being alone with her since. And now, Brett just contacted him that the internal council of shifters were at his home, demanding an audience with him. Something which he expected would happen since what went down and even though he was expecting it, he still wasn’t happy that it happened. “What’s wrong?’ Myra asked him when he sighed out loud in frustration.“My council is around and they are demanding to know what happened?” Cole responded. “First thing first, you have a council?” Myra asked shocked and Cole looked at her weirdly. “Of course I do, which ruler don’t have a council?” Cole returned. “Especially when he is ruling different race.” “True. But you never mentioned anything about them before so I cannot
When a few seconds passed and Cole didn’t make any move to answer their question, they grew suspicious again about what was really happening, it seemed that their leader had a lot which he was not telling them. “Need I remind you that you are under an oath that you would always tell the truth and give us appropriate time to prepare for whatever is coming?” “You even said an oath and you are still treated this way. That is not fir in the slightest way.” Myra exclaimed and Cole rolled his eyes at his mate. “Would it be enough if I tell you that as long as nobody means me any harm, what happened to the wolves would not happen to them?” Cole asked and the shifters all agreed to disagree with Cole. Some were even vocal about their disagreement. “It is okay Cole, tell them.” Myra stated. Cole shook his head, weary. “What happened was Myra? I was injured and she was upset. She took control of their will and told them to kill themselves before she teleported us away from there. We didn’
Cole woke up the next morning to shouts and snarls outside his bedroom door. He was pissed when he heard voices, especially when Myra gave a whimper as her brows wrinkled. Cole wrapped his arm around his mate and she immediately settled, until the next big bang of something outside his door. He was angry and without too much thought, he contacted Brett. ‘That had better be you out there or some shifters would lose their heads.’ ‘It is me, and if you are awake, you can come out here to help me with telling these knuckleheads that you will answer their question in due time and that them trying to break into your room where your naked mate sleeps in not the right way to get you to answer their questions any faster, they would just be signing their death warrants.’Cole brows flew into his hairlines in shock. ‘That is what the noise is about. Them trying to enter my room and you stopping them?’ ‘Give the man a medal for figuring it out.’ Brett huffs. Cole was seriously tempted to tel
“I don’t like you leaving me behind.” Myra pouted and Cole already small resolve almost disappeared fully. “And you know that I don’t like it too but I have no option right now.” Cole sighed. “It would be for just a day.” “You promise?” “Of course I do. Being away from you is not any easier on me, you know.” Cole stated and Myra mumbled under her breathe that Cole sometimes makes it seem so. “You want to talk? Who did the leaving at the earlier part of our relationship?” Cole asked and Myra frowned. “I was vexed?” “And I have obligations.” Cole returned as he kissed her hair. “At least, let me take you to the place.” Myra suggested but Cole shook his head then checked the time on the watch which he wore. “My pickup should be here soon.” Cole said as Caleb appeared. “Caleb… Long time.” Myra gritted out, glaring at the man who broke Moe’s heart. “I should be the one who is angry after what you did. But I don’t have time for that, where is Moe and why can’t I feel her?” Caleb q
Cole had been having a weird feeling since he showed up for the meeting between Vince and Carson. Vince taking time to wrestle Caleb to go back to the vampire settlements instead of the shifters own was enough time for the bad feeling to settle in Cole’s stomach. “Sorry about that.” Vince apologized as he sat down and drew his chair forward but Cole stood up. “I think I would like to go back to my castle. I don’t feel good leaving Myra alone.” “I thought you said she was with Moe…” Vince stated. “I did but…” “Then she has ample protection, honestly you two, we need to have a serious talk about Jacob here.” Carson demanded and Cole slowly sat down once more, convincing himself that the bad feeling which he was having was all in his head. “Okay, so let’s talk. Jake should be killed on sight, with the most brutal technique which any of you have in your arsenal. This should be a news which you will spread to your people. Jake is now an enemy to the whole supernatural community. In f
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
