Confusion, fear, and sadness, I feel it all at once. Blood is dripping down on the ground and coloring Blaze’s skin red. The scene is making me nauseous. I hate blood, and yet, my hands move on their own. I remove my shirt and use the cloth to cover Blaze’s wound on his stomach until I notice it’s gone.
What?!
Dumbstruck, I stare at his stomach. Where there once was an open wound is now only blood. What the actual fuck? I frantically feel around his skin, convinced I might find his injury if I search hard enough.
“But I could have sworn...?” I laugh at the bizarre situation, wrinkling my eyebrows as I try to make sense of what is happening.
Blaze grabs my hand and keeps it still on his skin. I’m shaking as his eyes find mine. I can see uncertainty flickering within his honey-eyes and something resembling hope.
“Do you think I’m a monster?” He asks in a pained voice. “As the al

ArielMany years ago, my mate Erika died in my arms. Twinkling stars guided her home, and even though I didn’t want her to leave me, I believe her body needed to rest.After many years of battling cancer, her old age combined with her disease took her away from me. She died peacefully in her sleep and left me in tears. Losing her was like losing a piece of myself. For so many years, Erika had been with me that living without her felt like suddenly waking up one day and realizing you are in hell.Everything turned ugly, and I stopped seeing the beauty in the world. Suddenly I could no longer appreciate anything. The sun felt cold, and the earth turned dull. My eyes no longer sought the stars, and my soul withered away.My grief turned me bitter and mean until finally, it grew to a deep hatred for the woman I once loved. Erika and her damn spell, she didn’t bond our souls together; she cursed me!Wherever I went, I would see her; I would

JennaWith Blaze lying on my couch, I'm shakingly drinking coffee while sitting on the floor. Hannah is sitting in my armchair while silently watching me with knowing eyes.I blush. I'm leaning against the side of Blaze's legs, unwilling to move away in case he would need me. Right now, his breaths are heavy as his body is recovering from the earlier battle.I clear my throat when Hannah smirks at me. "Eh, so, what happened at Starbucks?"Hannah's face darkens. "I ordered my usual vanilla latte, and as I was drinking it, this vampire gang throttled in like nothing and attacked a girl without no one batting their eye,"I stare at her. "What?!"Hannah crosses her arms with a horror-filled expression, brushing her hands against her arms as if calming herself. The memory is obviously haunting her. I almost feel bad for asking."Yeah," Hannah swallows thickly. "There are vampires everywhere. I don't know where they came from, but it feels

HannahSeeing a dragon for the first time is nothing short of terrifying. The beast is larger than a bus, with glowing eyes and a mouth capable of swallowing me whole.I shudder uncontrollably and look at Jenna, gasping in shock when I spot her running up to the landing creature.The dragon is terrifying, easily dwarfing her. I would never approach such a creature. But Jenna spread her arms to hug the creature's muzzle.Has she lost her damn mind?She should run away from danger, not treat it like a dog!"You're here!" Jenna cuddles the oversized lizard, and it huffs in satisfaction at the received affection.Confusion loops my mind seeing the odd couple. It baffles me how the dragon doesn't seem interested in eating her. Instead, it seems to listen to her."Lie down," Jenna laughs when the creature does as it was told. "Good boy!"Jenna then turns around, motioning for me to come closer. Her hand is resting on the creat

HannahThe atmosphere changes the moment I step into the woods. That earlier light gets replaced with darkness, beauty with horror.Right now, I'm walking through a nightmare, passing ghostly-looking trees. This isn't a place for a human, yet nothing can stop me from following that inner whisper of my heart.Determined, I lift the branch of a tree to enter a clearing. Blue flowers with an unnatural glow to them capture my eyes. They fill the entire clearing, spreading far and wide."Wow," I whisper, taken by the scene.The flowery beauty before me calms my speeding pulse. At first, I never expected to find anything pretty in the dark, but it seems there is beauty in even the darkest places.Affected to the brink of tears, I sit down in front of a flower. My fingertip touches the petals."My people call these flowers 'Lover's curse' if I remember correctly,"Startled by the sudden voice and thick accent, I twist my neck to searc

JennaI can't stand Ariel! It doesn't matter that we are mates; the guy is unbelievable!"Did you sleep with your other mate... What was his name again... Blaze?"Ignoring my second mate, I keep walking straight ahead without giving him the time of day.I've never seen Ariel this angry before, but I'm not frightened. His bark is louder than his bite."Don't ignore me!" Ariel growls."No!" I throttle forward, over rocks and flowers, while Ariel follows me like a dog. "I didn't sleep with him! And if I did, why do you care?! Didn't you tell me to get to know my other mate?"Ariel catches up with me. "Sleeping with him is hardly what I meant!"Frustration takes over, and I sigh dramatically. Ariel looks good; his anger only adds to his charm. Yet I angle away from him, cursing his rolled-up sleeves and exposed muscles."I don't know what you want," I tell him. "Have you ever heard that song by Katy Perry called Hot N Cold?

ArielStepping into the magical realm cleared my head. It seems Catherine got no power over me here. Finally, I can think freely without her compulsion stopping me from feeling things and saying what I want.And now, all I can think about is Jenna.Days ago, I thought it was selfish for me to want her, to steal her away from her destiny-chosen mate. But now I'm incapable of fighting against that burning sensation in my palms, that need to touch her.I want Jenna more than I've ever wanted anything. Guilt no longer pierces my soul when I think about the possibility of her rejecting this Blaze person to complete the mating ritual with me.'you want her both as your mate and rider? How interesting' Alastor murmurs. 'And also, greedy.''I don't care,' I growl at my inner dragon. 'I've always put other people's need before my own; I think it's time that I fight for what I want, what I need,''But in the end, it's Jenna who picks her mate,

Jenna Fighting the mate-bond is like walking through a burning house with no protection. Ariel is carrying me on his shoulders, refusing to put me down while my face is redder than a tomato. My bosom is melting, my heart turning into mush as his cologne enters my nostril, making them flare. I'm trying my hardest to breathe, act normal, but my nose is in his neck, and his dark hair is tickling my lips. Every curve, every straining muscle on his body: I can feel everything as he walks. It's nothing short of dizzying being this close to someone who just made me experience the most beautiful orgasm in my life. Before Ariel, I didn't think men could make me orgasm; I was wrong. "It shouldn't be very far to the castle," Ariel speaks softly. I hug him tighter as he walks over a log, and he chuckles, squeezing my smaller hand in his over his collarbone. Everything is magical, or it would be if I weren't so damn proud. I think I would b

ArielWith pouting lips, I keep following Jenna as she climbs the stairs leading to the castle doors. The feisty little thing felt too embarrassed to let me carry her, which is silly; her shoes are wet, and therefore, I owe the right to spoil her."How many fucking steps are there?!" Jenna growls and twists around to glare at one chuckling guard standing on the side of the staircase. "And and what are you laughing at?!"I chuckle and drag her up a couple of stairs to keep her from jumping at the guy. Jenna tries to fight me by pulling away from me, causing me to roll my eyes. With a swift movement, I place my hands underneath her armpits and lift her into my arms."ARIEL! PUT ME DOWN!" Jenna wriggles around like a worm, growling when she can't escape from me.Pretending I didn't hear her, I jog up the stairs with focused eyes. Missing a single step is out of the question. Keeping Jenna safe is the top priority and the only thing that matters.

Jenna I'm holding my baby girl in my arms, smiling up at Ariel while he tries to soothe our crying boy. Blaze is trying to piece together a lamp we bought from IKEA. Everything seems right with the world. I've finally accepted that I'm a vampire and that it's not a death sentence. I'm happy. I have the two most wonderful men for mates, and they get along with each other. Sex is great, and we have two beautiful children, soon three—what else could I ask for? "You're such a little troublemaker, aren't you?" Ariel kisses Hayden's forehead. The two baby twins are pure-blooded vampires, and the father is Ariel. I smile over at the vampire boy. We named the twins Hayley and Hayden. I guess it's a shout-out to Hannah. My heart misses her, even if she hasn't replied to any of my letters. She wants a war to unfold between our kingdoms while I seek peace. I don't understand where her bloodthirst comes from—we are both mothers, war is the last thing we s
Torn Between Mates Chapter 39 - Hannah's Ending
Hannah I'm blinded by the ethereal light surrounding the little girl in my arms. Like her father, the blood of the Fae courses through her veins, letting me know that she will fit into this world perfectly. Gazing down into the blue eyes, already so intelligent, I start to whisper soothing, loving words. "Mommy might not be here forever, but you should know that I love you, I love you so much. You're precious, Daisy, so precious." "Will that be her name?" Smiling, I turn around with the baby in my arms. Cassius is standing in the door opening, looking as beautiful as ever with his long hair and elegant-looking clothes. Fair hair falls down his shoulder, almost covering one side of his white blouse. It pains me that we won't be together forever, that my hands are already showing veins that weren't there before. Age doesn't frighten me, neither does my greying skull, but leaving the daughter and the man I love so much behind is downright frighte
Torn Between Mates Chapter 38 - Blaze's Ending
Blaze I'm sitting on the top balcony, looking out over the magical realm with the wind hitting me in the face. I dangle my legs, letting my toes curl and unfold. For the first time in forever, I feel at peace. Catherine is no longer alive, and so, my ancestors may rest. "So it's here you are." A million shivers crawl up my spine hearing Jenna's voice, but I keep my gaze locked on the clouds. She picked Ariel, yet I'm too lost in her to leave this hotel behind. I'm not sure how the stinking dragon managed to move it to the magical realm, but I guess this is the only place ready for us mythical creatures. "Here I am..." Jenna silently takes a seat next to me, her scent hitting my nose and making me stare down at her hand resting next to mine. My heart squeezes inside my chest, letting me know the mate-bond is still there. Even now, all I want is to tackle Jenna to the ground and steal her away from Ariel. "You know, I've been won
Torn Between Mates Chapter 37 - Jenna's Ending.
Jenna My legs are weak by the knees, trembling as I make my way over to the bathroom mirror. I'm met with a heart-stopping sight; my eyes are entirely red, bloodshot, and empty, soulless, vampiric, and my hair—what the fuck happened to my hair?! I wrap my arms around myself, suddenly shivering. Blonde hair is falling from my head, the same color as Catherine's platinum locks. I feel sick. It's like I've turned into the old vampire herself, and when my reflection distorts, and I can imagine Catherine laughing at me, I punch the mirror and shatter it into pieces. "No!" Tears are clawing out from the corner of my eyes. "Please tell me this is a nightmare!" Ariel, grim-faced, hesitates in the doorway. His arms are planted under his chest, and his eyes are brewing storms. "This is not a nightmare, even though it might seem like one," I touch the mirror and see the stranger, the one who is supposedly me, do the same. "So I'm the vampire queen now? H
Torn Between Mates Chapter 36 - New Queen
JennaOpening your eyes to the music of rain smacking against a window must be the best feeling in the world; at least, it's the sound that I love the most.Smiling, I roll around in bedsheets that smell like detergent and heavenly apples. The winds are howling outside, gossiping about storms and open oceans, and I stretch my arm, freezing when I end up touching something hot and solid.Something warm moves over my hand, and I open my eyes to find Ariel staring into my face. His larger hand is placed over mine, holding it over his beating heart. Dark circles surround his eyes—Ariel looks like he has been awake for decades. Yet, a smile carries its way to his lips as he openly studies my face."You're awake..." Ariel sounds surprised, but more than anything, he seems happy; his eyes are already tearing up. I barely get a chance to collect my thoughts and look around before I'm wrapped up in a hug, squeezed like a burrito to his chest. The guy manages
Torn Between Mates Chapter 35 - Love
CatherineToday I found out the world isn't black and white—there are thousands of shades of grey, new nuances behind every corner. And it seems even an old vampire like me has feelings.I thought I was entirely evil, someone who only lived for the purpose of taking over this world. But, strangely enough, as I peer down into the eyes of the woman I used to hate, I find hesitation blossoming in my chest where there once was only pure hostility and rage.Jenna, her words spoke to my soul and somehow drew out my bottled-up emotions. She claimed I could be saved, and judging from the sparks flying within me when she said that, maybe those words were what I had waited for all along?Because now my heart, once frozen by tundra and ice, is pumping again, trying to remind me how it felt to be human. I can almost hear it whispering: "Is total destruction and a world without love truly what you wish for, Catherine?"And it definitely should be! Consump
Torn Between Mates Chapter 34 - Dagger
JennaCatherine avoids every move I throw at her, sliding away from my ferocious punches with finesse, and then she laughs in glee when I try to kick her. Her blonde hair is flowing in the wind, and the woman dramatically fakes yawn and slaps her fingertips against her brightly colored lips as I miss another chance to end her life.Catherine looks as if she is having fun; the idea of her loving every moment of this knocks me breathless. Her golden hair frames her face, and her thin, more fragile figure makes her look elegant. I believe women of her time had been expected to look that way, strict and slim without a mind of their own.But the delicate features of her body don't make Catherine less of a fighter. Her eyes constantly observe me, calculating my next move before I have even planned it out myself. She is a formidable contender; her velvet dress and eyes would have made her look innocent if it weren't for the bloodthirst displayed within her eyes.
Torn Between Mates Chapter 33 - Hannah
HannahThe portal is finally opened from the magic realm, letting more and more of Cassius's soldiers jump inside like stylish members of the military. They aren't wearing green camo, but their elegant clothes, mantles, and fancy hair with pointed ears sticking out from their heads somehow make them look more dangerous than normal men.I sigh. Looking at the soldiers gives me hope that they can save my world, but it also fills me with dread since I know what will happen once Catherine dies—it means the solemn conclusion to my love story, the tragic end."I guess this is it," I whisper. "Goodbye,"Tears drip down at the ground as I watch the fairy soldiers jump into the portal. I try to dry my chin with my sleeve and wear a smile. I promised myself I would be brave, damn it, but sometimes sacrificing everything for the greater good feels so freaking unfair!Why does everyone else get a happy ending except for me?!It's not fair.
Torn Between Mates Chapter 32 - Fight
ArielI crash into the portal like a comet, not caring about the building I use for my landing pad. Alastor is angry, letting a bright fire come out through my mouth as vampires surround us.The sky is salmon-colored, speaking of the battle to come, but I intend on never letting it happen. My talons release the building, and debris falls to the ground, ending the life of some brave vampire soldiers in the making.My eyes remain cold and distant as I walk over bodies belonging to vampire soldiers. Caring is for the weak—I'm not here to save anyone. My mate, my beautiful pregnant mate, is destined to end Catherine, but she shouldn't be fighting in her state. Therefore I intend on offering everything to end Catherine's reign.There is a secret I haven't told anyone, a weapon no one knows of that can kill the cruel vampire—a dragon's very soul can take another life with them to the grave. All I need to do is sacrifice my life in front of Catherine
