“Forget what you heard, Ann just said. Actually, forget that you saw me on the phone,” Katelina was quick to compel Paris and slipped her phone out of sight.“Where were we?” Paris asked and walked over to Katelina, wrapping his arms around her, and pulling her in for a kiss.***‘Can’t believe I am all alone on a Friday night,’ Ann thought and got up from her bed, wondering where Jessica was at.Ann decided to dress up and go party. ‘There must be some frat party somewhere,’ Ann thought while painting her lips red.Ann didn’t have to go far to find a party. “Just my luck,” she thought when she noticed Shysie at the same party. ‘Should I leave? I don’t want Michael to think I am stalking him,’ Ann thought and looked around for him. ‘Maybe I should make friends with her?’ Ann wondered and made her way over to where Shysie was standing, lazy against a wall with a drink in her hand that she was not drinking. Shysie recently found out that not only can she eat and drink food, but she can
Merch, an excellent tracker, studied Michael in silence for a second. “Who did you lose to be willing to pay with Soroya? I know you took an interest in her.”“One of my wives ran off with Paris,” Michael started.A chuckle escaped Merch, as he already knew where Paris was and with whom. “Let me guess, you want your wife back? What happened to Ann?”“Ann and I are dating, and she is ok with me having multiple partners,” Michael explained.“Is she allowed to have multiple partners?” Merch questioned.“Of course not,” Michael choked.“I take it you want me to find this wife and return her to you?” Merch questioned.“Her and Paris, alive,” Michael added.“Promise,” Merch said.“I promise that if you return Paris and Katelina to me in one piece and alive that you can have Soroya,” Michael promised.“I will have them at the higher council in the vampire throne room next week this time,” Merch said with a smile on his face.Without another word, Michael sped off back to the higher council t
Wynn picked Deacon up and sped over to the higher council to get a shaman to put Deacon under a sleeping spell but when they arrived Deacon objected, insisting he deserves to die, heartbroken for losing Emily and Jessica in one go. Deacon left the higher council without telling anyone where he was going.***Monday morning Ann woke up and saw Jessica sleeping in her bed. Ann got up and got ready for the day.“Hey, you better get up if you don’t want to be late for class,” Ann woke Jessica up.“Let me be,” Jessica said and pulled her bedsheet over her head.“No problem. The top of her class will definitely go to me then. Thanks for making it so easy for me,” Ann chuckled and left the room in hope of running into Michael before class, finding herself missing him.“Michael?” Ann said, a smile creeping up her face when she opened her bedroom door to find Michael there with a Starbucks in his hand.“Good morning, beautiful,” Michael said and kissed her.“I take it that is for me?” Ann smil
“Where have you been all morning?” Ami asked Wynn when he sat down next to her in class, after the break.“Deacon is gone,” Wynn whispered as his eyes fell on Ann and the dark head, looking like Jessica. “Is that Jessica?” Wynn asked.“What does it look like?” Ami chuckled.Wynn got up without a word and walked over to where Jessica was sitting and without warning grabbed her arm and pulled her up from her chair.“What the hell?” Jessica exclaimed. “Wynn?” Jessica questioned, confused.“Come with me,” Wynn said, and half-forced walked her out of the class.“What the hell?” Ann asked.“It’s fine,” Jessica said over her shoulder to Ann, not wanting Ann to follow her as she had a few questions herself.Some of the students whispered under their breath at the scene in front of them. Ami wondered if she should follow them or not but then instead decided to join Ann.“What is going on?” Ann asked Ami.“Something to do with Deacon, I guess,” Ami chose her words carefully.“They broke up,” An
Ami didn’t need to move into the dorm room, but she didn’t want to offend Ann and besides that, she wanted to work on her friendship with Jessica.“Thanks for letting me stay here for a bit,” Ami said to Jessica when they were alone in the room.“Why don’t you just stay with Wynn at the higher council or share your house with him?” Jessica questioned, flopping down on her bed.“I was hoping to keep Wynn and me a secret until we were sure about it all. How did you find out?” Ami questioned, hesitant to unpack her bag.“Why?” Jessica questioned, casually taking a book she was busy reading off her bedside table.Ami took too long to answer, not knowing how to word it.“Oh, my word. Please tell me it is not because of me?” Jessica chuckled, pretending she didn’t care.“Well, yes, and your shift of attitude earlier this week towards me tells me that you are not happy about it,” Ami stated flatly, not wanting to bend around the bush.“Wynn is all yours. I have a new fated mate that I plan t
“I will be waiting for him,” Michael said before sending the hybrid off, thinking it was strange that Merch send a man and not a woman since most of his nest consisted of females.“I would like to speak to Soroya,” the hybrid insisted.“Do I need to remind you who I am?” Michael hissed.“You are the guy that thinks he is the vampire king,” the hybrid said, showing no respect.“Get out!” Michael compelled him at the same moment Soroya walked in.“Jaden?” Soroya questioned at the sight of him.“Glad to see you are well,” the hybrid said walking past her unable to stop since he was under Michael’s compelling.“Before you send me away, please hear me out,” Soroya was quick to say to Micheal.“Come, have a seat. How have you been?” Michael asked, making the hybrid look over his shoulder.‘Does not sound like she knows that she is part of a trade-off,’ he thought and sped off.“Lonely without you,” Soroya admitted. “I was actually looking for Paris. Have you seen him?”“He will be here with
“A pretty thing like you should have a boyfriend. Where is he at?” Merch questioned, trying to put together the puzzle.“Apparently he had better things to do,” Ann chuckled and pulled her nightgown which was very short, over her shoulders to cover herself from Merch, since she was wearing skimpy pajamas.“Your boyfriend had better things to do than hang out with you?” Merch chuckled and sat down on her bed, making Ann pull her legs up to her chin.‘Am I in trouble? Who is this guy?’ Ann asked herself, looking around for anything she could use as a weapon.“Relax, I don’t mean you any harm,” Merch chuckled. “Get dressed. You are coming out with me,” Merch compelled her.“Ok, cool,” Ann said and got up. She does not know why, but she stripped right in front of him. ‘What am I doing?’ Ann thought, unable to stop herself. She blushed under Merch’s eyes. “Sorry, I don’t know what I am thinking,” Ann choked, red in the face, grabbing the first dress she could find.“I am married, so a nake
The next morning, Michael thought it odd that Merch and his nest left. He sped over to Soroya’s room and was relieved to find her there, getting ready for the day.“Michael,” Soroya greeted.“Merch left,” he informed her.“That is a relief,” Soroya said, feeling glad.“Sorry for expecting you to go back to him. I know he was not a kind man,” Michael said.“He is ok besides when it comes to his sexual needs,” Soroya said, and thought about how horrible, forceful, and painful sex was with Merch. ‘I could never get used to that,’ she thought.“Enjoy your day,” Michael said, and sped off.Michael sped off a few miles from varsity to pick Ann some flowers before speeding over to Starbucks to get her, her favorite coffee.Michael immediately picked up Merch’s scent when he arrived at the dorm room. ‘Calm down, maybe it is just his scent that clung to Katelina,’ Michael told himself, and knocked.“You? What do you want?” Jessica asked.“Ann, duh,” Michael responded.“I thought she was with y
Every year, when Prince Deacon left for a few days for the higher council, Emily will not follow. When he did not return on his last visit, she got worried and went to find out what was up and if he was ok. Even though she was heartbroken that he found a mate again, she was happy for him. A bit cross about the way he went about it, but nonetheless she was glad that he had a fated mate. Word reached her a few weeks later that his mate Jessica was abducted, and she came to the rescue. She did not expect for her and Deacon to end up making love again, but they did. When Deacon claimed Jessica a few months later, Emily was broken up and ended up in Prince Mano's bed. Present day. (Read Chapter 179 for a recap) After Prince Deacon stormed into Prince Mano's room and caught them in bed together, followed by Prince Mano attacking Prince Deacon, Emily decided to leave them to it. “I am not doing this,” Emily said and left the room. Emily went to her own room, which she has not been in for a
"Why would he betray me? How is he even alive?" Prince Deacon asked, not believing that Kerraelas betrayed him. 'I don't know why or how. I knew he was not dead, but I don't know why he gave your parents the information,' Wynn mind linked. "My mother killed, -never mind, I see he is still alive." Prince Deacon was about to tell Wynn that his mother killed the Shaman but then he saw in Wynn's mind that they made contact. "Where is he?" Prince Deacon asked, wanting to know where the shaman was. "I told him to go to the nearest town North," Wynn said, finally able to speak. "Guess he didn't listen," Prince Deacon said, pointing at the wolf they both recognize as the Shaman in full wolf form. The shaman finally regained his strength and managed to complete his shift. Wynn took the backpack off his back and took out his spare pants and threw it at the Shaman. The Shaman shifted and put the pants on. "I think the neighbor just saw me do that," the Shaman said, looking at Princess B
Two of Queen Lana’s guards ran into the house and force him outside.“Let me die with her!” Prince Deacon demanded, trying to get back into the house.In the distance, you could hear the fire brigade. Prince Deacon knew that there was nothing saving the house or Emily now.The Shaman pretend to be dead for as long as he could and started to crawl out of the burning house, towards the kitchen, hoping that it had a back door like all houses.With his hand on his throat, he started to run through the backyard before climbing over the first wall. ‘That b*tch, I have been serving here for over a millennium and she just tried to kill me as if I am nothing? I will end her,’ the Shaman vowed, ‘but first I need to survive; I need to find Wynn.’ The Shaman went rogue the moment his throat was slit so that Queen Lana and the pack will think him dead.The shaman took out his phone and called Wynn but he was barely able to speak so he put the phone down again and tried to type with one hand while
“There you are. What is that face for?” Prince Deacon asked, when he came into the room, Emily standing with just a towel around her. Prince Deacon had a bunch of red roses in one hand and a guy that looked in his mid-thirties next to him.“Go wait downstairs,” Prince Deacon ordered the guy.“I am not hungry,” Emily said, knowing the guy was to feed on.“But today is your feeding day,” Prince Deacon said, laying the roses down on the vanity table before turning to Emily, and putting his hands on her shoulders, “what is wrong?”“Just thinking about how you have no children and deserve to have children,” Emily said, her eyes sad. Emily decided not to tell him about Wynn’s phone call, knowing he will just make them go on the run and she does not want him to spend his life on the run.“Do you want children?” Prince Deacon asked with a frown.“Does it matter since I can't have any?” Emily asked.“We can get a surrogate,” Prince Deacon reminded her of the time period they live in.“Forget I
The year 2000 and something “I thought you were dead,” Queen Lana said, sitting up on her royal throne when she saw an old acquaintance. “Kerraelas, old friend,” King Makens said, standing up from his throne to greet his Raven friend that looked as young as he does. After the embrace, King Makens signaled his servants to come closer. “What do you want to drink? Are you hungry?” “I am not staying long,” Kerraels said. “Where have you been all this time?” Queen Lana asked. “Does it matter?” Kerraels asked. “What brings you here? A warning? What has your foresight shown to you?” King Makens asked, looking at the serious expression on Kerraels' face. “I have seen many things to come,” Kerraels said. “I heard someone sighted you,” Queen Amirah said, walking in, Prince Andre at her side. “Queen Amirah,” Kerraels said, taking her hand and kissing it. “Prince Andre, how is hybrid life treating you?” Kerraels turned his attention to Prince Andre and shook his hand. “It has its perks
Princess Freda realized that she will have to hide out for a while and birth her children first before attempting to find Emily so she slowly made her way to the nearest harbor to board a ship to Europe and from there it was slow and hot, uncomfortable journey to Egypt. Even though she knew it was risky staying at Queen Zuberi’s palace, she didn’t know where else to go and luckily for her, the palace still carried Gabriella’s spell. Princess Freda was well taken care of by Queen Zuberi’s servants, none of them knowing that Queen Zuberi was dead and she thought it best not to enlighten them, for the sake of her twins. A few months later she gave birth to two healthy babies and instead of finding Emily, she decided it can wait as there was a raging human World War Two going on and the last thing she wanted is to get caught in the crossfire leaving her children without a mother. She was not sure if they were like King Lowe or King Thorvald and knew it will still be a few years before she
‘No!’ Princess thought. ‘King Thorvald is bringing Phoebe over to you,’ Princess Freda mind linked King Lowe desperately. ‘What?’ King Lowe mind linked her back as the door to his cell opened. “She is ripe. Try not to kill her, you don’t want to upset your mate,” King Thorvald laughed, ripping Phoebe’s made-shift dress off her, making her gasp. “Don’t do this,” King Lowe pleaded, smelling Phoebe, feeling his animal instinct ripping through him uncontrollably as he shifted into his werewolf form as the moon reached the tower. “Go on, have s*x with him,” King Thorvald compelled Phoebe before leaving. “No, stay away,” King Lowe yelled. ‘Please control yourself, think about me, please don’t hurt her,’ Princess Freda pleaded in a mind link. ‘She will have to kill me,’ King Lowe mind linked Princess Freda back. ‘There must be another way,’ Princess Freda pleaded. "We claimed each other. Is our bond not strong enough?" 'On a full moon, werewolves can't control themselves,' King Lowe
“How are my two love birds doing?” King Thorvald asked, walking into the cell. “She needs a bed,” King Lowe said, referring to Princess Freda that already looked uncomfortable with her swollen belly. “Whose babies do you think she is carrying? Mine or yours?” King Thorvald asked, putting his ears to her belly, listening to the two babies’ heartbeat. “Get away from her,” King Lowe growled, fighting against his restraints that have been secured to the wall again. “Come,” King Thorvald compelled Princess Freda to follow him. “Where are you taking her?” King Lowe demanded to know. “Didn’t you just demand a bed for her? I am taking her to a bed, my bed,” King Thorvald chuckled. “I am going to kill you!” King Lowe shouted. “Not if I kill you first,” King Thorvald said, grabbing Princess Freda from behind, holding her in a chokehold, and rubbing his hands over her belly, “if these babies are yours, I will no longer have the need for you.” Princess Freda doesn’t fight him, knowing if
King Thorvald went back to the castle and straight to the tower to give Princess Freda the bad news. “Someone is coming. You have to leave now,” King Lowe pleaded with Princess Freda. “What if this time they notice you are not chained to the wall?” King Lowe asked. “What does it matter? I can still break my chains,” Princess Freda said. "Besides, I am compelled not to try and escape. That is why I have to wait for my friend so that she can bring me a shaman necklace,” Princess Freda said. The door opened and King Thorvald walked in with a big smile on his face. “Bad news. I have found Phoebe.” Princess Freda hung her head in defeat with no response. King Thorvald walked over to her and took her arm, bringing her palm to his mouth before sinking his teeth into her. After drinking his fill, he ripped her dress off her and wiped his mouth with it before turning to King Lowe, “Perhaps now you won't be able to resist her.” “He can not even reach me, you moron,” Princess Freda spat, n
