“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
“Cole, we are sorry?” Vince stated. This was about two hours after Cole was contacted by Brett, Carson, Cole and Vince teleported to Cole’s home only to see the castle in disarray as a lot of people were running around, trying to reach for more doctors, the doctor of those saying in the castle, the settlements and all their assistants were around, the doctor of the other settlements were sent for already. After Cole started shouting that she was a succubus and that they should stop forgetting that fact, Vince disappeared and appeared some minutes later with the succubus healer. Nothing happening to Myra could be traced to anybody. Or any illness which was both known to Ubis and shifters. The search expanded, Carson called his healers and Vince called Vampires healers and scientists, he also started calling from other race too, trying to see if there was any way in which they could help. Nothing could be done. Myra remained in the exact same state she was in, her eyes closed as if sh
“Cole, you need to calm down and explain what happened?” Vince said as he blocked the door way and prevented Cole from leaving the room. Cole was literally frothing at the mouth and he had not being able to stop cursing since he last went still. “Exactly, remember what I said about keeping calm.” Carson added. “I don’t need to know the reason, I have already seen the culprit.” Cole returned as he used his hand to pass through his hair in an aggravated motion. “Who is the culprit?” Vince asked. “Who do you think it is? Bloody Taylor, that is who.” Cole answered as he yelled again. “Why did I allow this scum to live up until this time?” “Wait, so you are trying to say that Taylor had the mind to do this to Myra. What did he do?” Carson asked. “I don’t know but I am going to find out and when I have gotten my answer from him, there will be no him left.” Cole vowed. Moe entered the room back. “The link shut down immediately I told you, what happened, what is wrong?” Moe asked, her
“I know nothing.” Taylor growled out as he swung from the chain which his hands were tied to. He was a few feet above the ground and his palm was free so that he could hold on to the chains to remove the strain from his arms as they were made to hold him up. And that he did. “Of course, we know that.” Vince nodded as he shifted away from Taylor, admiring his work. It has been a long time since he had done physical torture of this kind. “I know that you must be very proud of your handiwork right now.” Carson shook his head and although Vince did not reply, he did turn his head to the side to smile at him. “Why are you two ignoring me? Are you hoping to see me sweat it out, you still won’t get anything from me.” Taylor shouted, true to his words, he was already indeed sweating profusely. “You are already looking ready to break and nothing has been done to you yet. I am inclined to think that we would definitely get something from you.” Carson answered. “Besides, I do know that we a
Vince was worried for Taylor. If what Cole did was not enough to Cole, he cannot imagine what other technique Cole had in mind. Normally, he is not the type to feel pity for traitors but him and Carson communicated through telepathy while Cole worked on Taylor and according to his understanding, Carson tried comparing the pain which Taylor was feeling to something which Vampires could relate with. He compared it to a vampire compelling another one to suffer through blood thirst but there is no relief because no matter how much blood is drunk, the compelled mind would still be thinking he is thirsty. And that can lead to madness when it is done over and over again. Just like how Cole is doing to Taylor. When they let go of the chains. Tayor collapsed on the ground, not even happing the power to stop his fall. The shifter was not going anywhere soon. Cole nodded at Taylor’s weak body and then walked to the side of the cell where he washed his hands. “What are you doing?” Carson asked
“I joined them about twenty years ago at the conference which happened in the human world. Cole was right, not all who went there had pure intention, I went with pure intention but I was a convert by the time I returned...” “I don’t want to know anything about that. Not yet. I want to know about my mate, what the hell is wrong with her? How did it happen and what did?” Cole demanded, cutting Taylor’s story short.Taylor glared at Cole but he didn’t have the stubbornness not to do as Cole had demanded, not when he was very close to the edge of giving up. His wolf rattled in his head, maybe because Cole was warning him or because the wolf was impatient, he immediately started speaking. “I don’t know what was given to Myra but I do know that it is to kill the spirits within her, I overheard them speaking about it before I left them. They will be the game changer and we didn’t like that. So they needed to go. I wish that I could help you with more knowledge on what was in the vial but
It has been a long four hours, Cole thought as he collapse on the bed near his mate who was still sleeping. Or unconscious but he rather likes to think that she was just getting the very much needed rest which she deserves. He left Taylor with Carson and Vince to get enough information from him but he was no longer interested in the information or the fact that the supernatural might soon go to war or there were other spirits in existence in this world. He didn’t care about any of those things, all he cared about was his mate and learning that nothing could be done to help his mate was a big blow. If the vial was given by supernatural then he had a chance of find the cure but it was meant to kill spirits, spirits tied to Myra’s life force, Myra might be okay now but very soon Cole would have to stay back and watch Myra life bleed out of her with nothing which he could do to help. “What ever thought you are thinking, is not helping Myra so stop it.” Moe ordered and Cole shook his hea
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
