Myra sat in front of the huge screen which was placed in the den of the mansion where Cole and she stayed. Of course, Cole would never call it mansion, he would call it a castle and he was probably right. She was waiting for the other shifters to join her before she reverted to her queen roles but for the main time, it was just her and Moe. She was set to leave for her journey very soon but before she left, there were a few things which the council agreed that they needed to do. First was to tell the supernatural race what was going on to the extent they knew from Taylor, she will be kept a secret for now and that they did already. The next step was while the supernatural community as a whole was still reeling from the information which was given to them, Vince, Carson and Cole would attack and these attacks would be simultaneous. At least one good thing about Taylor before he died was that he confessed to a lot of secrets from the rebellion. Secrets which Vince and Carson could act
“You know what I cannot stand?” Cole asked and paused, then shook his head. Was he really expecting that Myra would answer him and help him in his bid to guilt her into staying back while other go and look for the angel’s portal. “The fact that you are practically dancing around as you pack the things which you will take with you as you leave me.” Cole answered as Myra paused. She turned to look at her mate who was sitting on the bed with a pouting look that has been on his face since she banished him away from following her every step and to sitting there. “Are you being serious right now?” Myra asked. She was not dancing around. She was hurrying to pack her things because Courtney and Moe were already waiting for her and the reason why she was not ready was because of Cole. ‘Of course I am!” Cole returned. “You need help dude.” Myra responded as she shook her head and continued to pack her things. “I don’t understand why you cannot keep teleporting back here to take what you nee
“Did you escort your mate to the other side of the teleportation or what? Because you are extremely late.” Carson mouthed off as usual when Cole met with him physically at the edge of his settlement. “Fuck off my case Carson. I am not in the mood.” Cole growled. “Besides I am not that late since Vince is not here yet.” “He sent word that he would be late, Gwen is uncomfortable and he is with his very pregnant mate and giving her comfort. What was your excuse?” Carson eyed Cole. “I was trying to convince my mate not to go for the search.” Cole mumbled and when Carson’s eyes widened in surprise he snapped. ‘Don’t act like you were not expecting that from me, you know that I was not comfortable with her going in the first place.”Carson raised his hands as he shifted away from Cole. “Okay, you don’t have to take my head off in your anger.” Vince appeared and looked from Carson to Cole then sighed. “Cole, please leave Carson alone. He is annoying but let’s ignore that trait of his and
Vince appeared while Cole and Carson were still standing frozen. “Guys, what is going on? Why are you still here, I dropped them in Carson’s court, under the supervision of Eloise.” Vince stated. Then he took a good look at Cole and Carson’s face. “What is going on?” He asked, looking from one to another.“Vince, your mate is in labour.” Cole responded.Vince eyes changed immediately to black as he disappeared, his disappearance was enough to make Cole and Carson to start moving. They rushed towards the direction of Vince’s room and in front of it, they saw the rest of the vampire council already waiting, except Jessica who they were hearing her voice inside the room. “What’s happening?” Cole asked. “Gwen is threatening to destroy the whole castle around her if we don’t provide Vince for her to kill.” Caleb answered with a smile while Elijah laughed in good nature but Cole raised an eyebrow at Caleb. “Don’t think that we are alright or we are friends. We are not. You fucked up.”
Jessica was sitting on her mate’s lap. Her own mate lap. She could not believe it. She had travelled far and wide. She had searched for him for a long time, had given up only to see him when she was not searching for him at all. When it was a dangerous time to have someone other than yourself to be scared for. To think of protecting. He took another deep inhale of her skin, his nose has been buried in her neck since he sat her down on his lap, and she couldn’t even squirm because of the ticklish sensation. Not if she wanted to remind him that as mates, they should be mating. “This is a disaster.” Cole groaned as Jessica raised her head to look at the shifter king who looked tired and weak… well as weak and tired as he could look. Because he had a clean bill of health. “What is?” Jessica asked and Cole raised his brow. “I imagine, the last time one of the vampire council got mated to a shifter. Jessica, you definitely cannot allow that to be the case here. You shouldn’t.” “What ha
This time the meeting held in Vince and Gwen bedroom. Physically as Vince and Cole faced Carson while Gwenn was still sleeping with her baby. Vince had refused to let them out of his sight and the issue was serious enough to warrant a physical meeting. “What do you mean that crystals are missing? All your crystals should be with me for safekeeping and I calculated it, the number was right for every known species which you have under your court. How can there be extra crystals?” Vince demanded. “And you better reply something along the lines of you didn’t trust Vince enough so you made duplicates and send to him while you kept the originals.” Cole barked as Carson who made a grimace on his face.“I would have eventually told you guys, I promised. Luminary don’t usually consists of seven different types. We are actually twelve.” Carson confessed as Cole and Vince let loose long strings of curses. Most of them directed at Carson but he just winced and took all their insults, he deserve
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
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
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
