Eero woke up after Queen Amirah dropped him, flying over the castle. Eero immediately knew where he was. Queen Amirah dropped him in the tower that was not visible to the naked eye from outside. Eero stood up and could hardly believe that he didn’t break any bones. Eero walked over to the door and banged on it. “Hey! Anyone out there?!” he shouted, even though he knew that no one will hear him. ‘Does she plan to leave me here to die?’ he thought and walked back to where he fell in. Eero looked up, feeling hopeless. After day three, Eero accepted that Queen Amirah was leaving him for dead. It took him another three days to decide that he had to fight for his life and that no one was coming for him. Eero started with the sheets that were on the bed and tore them into strands before knotting them together, forming a rope. He took both of his shoes and tied them to the edge. Eero knew that unless he had a hook to put to the end of the rope that could hook to the top of the tower, he won
Eero woke up in an unfamiliar room but knew he was in the higher council as he recognized the wallpaper. He tried to sit up, but felt weak.“Just relax,” he heard Stella’s familiar voice.“What are you doing here?” Eero spat and tried to sit up again. He tried to get off the bed but the IVs he was hooked to jerked back his arm.“You need fluids. I saved you!” Stella forced him to the bed.“Get away from me,” Eero shoved her aside.“I will go get the doctor,” Stella said and was quick to rush off.Eero was about to rip the IVs from his arm when the doctor walked into the room.“Don’t do that. You need fluids,” the doctor stopped him.“How long have I been here?” Eero questioned.“A couple of days,” the doctor said, and checked his vitals. “If you like, I can move you to your own room.”“I would like to see princess Ami,” Eero stated.“Princess Ami?” the doctor frowned and took a deep breath. “I am sorry, but she died.”“Died?” Eero choked not believing his ears.“I am sorry. She jumped
Everyone was already waiting for Michael when he got back to the castle.“What on earth happened to you?” Deacon asked.“Is Ann ok?” Jovita questioned because Jessica showed them the state Ann was in when she mind linked them.“What is going on?” Queen Amirah questioned, walking into the council hall that was used for important meetings when all species got together.“Come, follow me,” Michael said and thought it best he showed them.“Where are you taking us?” Juno demanded to know when it was clear that Michael was leading them to the vampire wing.‘Is he tricking us?’ Jovita mind linked Juno and Deacon at the same time.‘We are three against one,’ Deacon put her mind at ease.‘Four,’ Juno corrected him, hinting at Queen Amirah.‘I don’t trust her,’ Deacon mind linked them both.‘Makes two of us. For all we know they are planning something together,’ Jovita responded in a mind link.‘Is everything ok? What is going on?’ Jovita, Juno, and Deacon got Jessica’s mind link at the same tim
Deacon found Wynn in Ami’s room. “Thought I will find you here.”“I have some bad news. I thought I will come to tell you in person,” Deacon said, pulling up a chair.“I am all ears,” Wynn said.“It appears Paris is a pile of ash,” Deacon said.Wynn was taken aback by the news, but for some reason, he kind of expected it. “So Paris killed Stella?”“It appears so,” Deacon said.“Thanks for telling me,” Wynn said, too worried about Ami to feel emotional over Paris.“I think Eero has something to do with it as well,” Deacon said after a moment of silence.“I think Eero pushed her out of the window and ran off. I think he could not accept the fact that she chose our fated bond over him and decided if he can't have her, no one will,” Wynn said.“That sounds more like Stella,” Deacon said.“If you say so,” Wynn said flatly.“There is another thing you should know,” Deacon started. “Perhaps you already know.”Wynn looked up at Deacon, waiting for him to continue.“Eero kissed Ami, right?” De
‘I hear you helped Michael with a spell to trap Torvald,’ Deacon mind linked Mr. Ondrink.‘Is it a problem?’ Mr. Ondrink mind linked Deacon back.‘Even if it is a problem, does it matter now?’ Deacon mind linked back.‘How is the were-owl princess doing?’ Mr. Ondrink asked instead of answering Deacon.‘Still alive, still in a coma,’ Deacon mind linked.‘Good. Anything else?’ Mr. Ondrink questioned.‘Yes, I want you to come to the higher council,’ Deacon mind linked.‘Why? You know I have a pack to run,’ Mr. Ondrink objected.‘So, you are willing to assist Michael, but not me?’ Deacon spat.‘You have like a dozen shamans to your exposal. What do you want with me?’ Mr. Ondrink.‘Discretion,’ Deacon mind linked. ‘It is not a request,’ Deacon warned him.Deacon walked over to his own room and took a shower and freshen up before heading over to Jessica’s dorm room in the hope of taking her out on a date.Deacon drove past Ann and Michael, that was sitting outside by the Starbucks café. ‘I
Jessica kept on catching Lestat’s scent but every time when she thinks she found him he was gone. Not only did Lestat leave behind a trail of his scent, but Jessica also picked up the fragrance of blue cornflowers. ‘I hope Deacon did not return and think he can win me over with flowers,’ Jessica thought but then she noticed a blue cornflower, its fragrance mixed with Lestat’s scent, and she realized that Lestat was playing a game of cat and mouse with her. Jessica followed the trail of blue cornflowers that led her out of the frat house. She soon found herself in the backyard of the frat house which was quiet since all the students were inside the house getting drunk. Jessica followed the trial of flowers along with Lestat’s scent and wondered why he was leading her away from the frat house. ‘Is he not supposed to be supervised?’ Jessica ended up at a beautiful, modern house that was on varsity property and found herself in the middle of a garden that was filled with a variety of blu
Lestat left Jessica outside his house and drove off.“Call mother,” Lestat said. Lestat got a dead tone.‘Where are you, mother,’ he wondered since he has not heard from his mother for a few weeks. The last time he heard of her was when he visited her after she insisted, he comes around on a Sunday evening for dinner. She made him so drunk that he had to sleep over, using the excuse of missing her only child, and ever since he started to date Jessica who he never stopped talking about, he was neglecting her.Lestat knew all about the supernatural world and that lycans resented enchanters. What he didn’t know when he fell for Jessica whom he thought would be nothing more than an easy few fucks but out of the blue, he found himself in love with her. He knows his mother was an enchanter but he; himself did not get her gene. His mother once told him that his father was a lycan, but he didn’t get the lycan gene either.Lestat drove over to his mother’s apartment and used his key to see him
“I guess the fact that Emily was a fated mate, that I claimed, is what made it different,” Deacon explained. “Why do you ask?”“Just making small talk,” Jessica said.“No, no. You are not getting off that easy,” Deacon chuckled.Jessica could not find the right words, so chose to say nothing.“Seriously? You are not going to elaborate?” Deacon chuckled.“Perhaps another time,” Jessica chuckled and pulled her knees up to her chin, wrapping her arms around her legs. “We should have gotten vampires to take us.”“What do you feel right now?” Deacon questioned.“What do you mean? Us?” Jessica misunderstood him.“I mean, do you have any feeling that Lestat is still in trouble?” Deacon questioned.“Oh,” Jessica said and focused on Lestat. “Nothing.”“Michael and Wynn should be there soon enough,” Deacon said, and put his foot on the gas.“I just don’t know what Lestat’s connection is with Torvald,” Jessica said.“Have you considered the fact that a spell was used to fate you to Lestat?” Deac
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
