Wynn walked into the lycan throne room and saw a few royals standing around. All Deacon’s brothers were there and Ondrink, whom he almost didn’t recognize.“Ondrink, I would have not known it is you if I did not know you many years ago,” Wynn greeted, looking at a young Ondrink that looked as young as everyone else.“Wynn,” Ondrink shook his hand. Ondrink’s hair was long, no longer grey but dark, and his native appearance appealing.“What happened to you?” Wynn questioned as the last time he saw Ondrink he was growing old to leave this life.“Prehistoric vampires,” Ondrink said.“I am confused,” Wynn said, looking at Deacon that was just as surprised as him.“Now that Wynn has arrived,” Ondrink said and looked over at Jessica, disappointed that they did not fate to one another again, “we shall begin.”Ondrink put his warbonnet, which was made out of snow-owl feathers, onto his head.“Let me geuss, you were hoping that Jessica and Wynn fate again?” Deacon chuckled. “Well, Wynn is fated
On their way out of the castle, Wynn explained to Deacon what transpired between Ami and himself and why they were unmated.“So, what now?” Deacon questioned.“Between Ami and me? Nothing. She is carrying Eero’s kid,” Wynn said.“And your feelings for her?” Deacon wondered.“Well, I have always had a soft spot for both of them, especially Ami. I should have rejected the moment we fated instead of jumping into bed with her. Our relationship will never be the same,” Wynn said, regretting his decisions.“There is something you should know,” Deacon said, remembering the contents of Lauturi’s letter.“What?” Wynn questioned.“Not here. The walls have ears,” Deacon said, and led Wynn out of the castle.They walked for a bit before Deacon explained. “A vampire can become a day walker by robbing a hunter or the offspring of a hunter; half-bloods included, of their heart and putting it where their own heart used to be.”“That is how Paris became a day walker?” Wynn questioned, not believing th
Paris looked at Ann and felt he was taking her for a fool. “What?” Ann asked. “You took him to the beach where we made love, Ann.” Paris said. “I did not,” Ann denied it. Paris sighed and shook his head. He walked towards the door to leave, but Ann grabbed him and forced a kiss on him. “What are you doing?” Paris questioned, holding her at arm’s length. “Drink my blood and you will see that I love you! It has always been only you!” Ann cried. “Then you shouldn’t have been so quick to belief Michael,” Paris said and sped off before Ann could get out another word. Paris wanted Ann so badly. He wanted to kiss her again and again, but he didn’t want to get hurt again and felt she was not honest with him. *** When Jessica left the dorm room to give Paris and Ann some space, Wynn picked her up and sped her over to the higher council against her will. “The two of you stay here until you kiss and makeup!” Wynn compelled them after quickly removing their shaman necklaces, leaving the
“You seem in a good mood,” Ami remarked when her mother, Queen Amirah, checked up on her.“I am,” Queen Amirah said with a smile and wondered if Ami could smell Wynn on her. ‘Hopefully not. I did shower,’ she thought and pulled up a chair.‘Perhaps she does not know that Eero is on his way,’ Ami thought and wondered where Eero was.‘Any news on Eero? You said he was on his way, hours ago,’ Ami mind linked Wynn, fearing that Eero will show up while her mother was around.‘He is at the council. Probably sleeping his drunk ass off,’ Wynn said.“Mom, I would like to take a bath,” Ami asked her mom to help her to the bathroom.After a bath, Queen Amirah helped Ami to blow out her hair and lend her an arm for support as they walked to the living room.“Someone had sex in here,” Ami remarked when she sat down on the sofa that Wynn and her mother had sex on.“You know how it goes. Supernatural has no respect,” Queen Amirah choked and walked over to the large windows to open a few.“Have Wynn
“Stella is dead,” Ami informed Eero after a long embrace, wondering how he would feel about it.“I know. I killed her,” Eero said, shocking Ami to the core.“You killed her?” Ami questioned, the blood draining from her face. Ami was shocked at how he said it as if Stella’s life did not matter, as if he would do it again.“I thought she killed you. I was mad with rage,” Eero explained himself, realizing that maybe he should not sound so cocky about killing Stella.“Marry me,” Eero asked, cupping her face before sinking to one knee. “Let’s bring this baby into the world, married.”“You know I am pregnant?” Ami asked, looking down at him.“Yes. Wynn told me,” Eero smiled up at her, anxiously waiting for a ‘yes’ from her.“Of course,” Ami said. Looking at Eero, she knew she loved him more than anyone in the world and did not understand her own heart at that moment.“I need time to think,” Ami said and stepped away from him.Eero stood up from the floor and grabbed her, pulling her in for
“Lycan or Vampire?” Jessica asked one Friday evening to Ann that was nose deep into her books.“Neither,” Ann said and continued to study.“Would you like to date a lycan or vampire?” Jessica tried again. “I have noticed a few attractive single men at the council.”“I heard that there are different species, so why only lycan or vampire?” Ann chuckled, raising her eyes from her books.“Ok. What species?” Jessica questioned.“Vampire,” Ann chuckled, “then I can stay young,” she added.“Ok, great. I know this just guy, but he is a hybrid,” Jessica said and walked over to Ann. “Come, we are going on a double date.”“Just because I chose does not mean I am interested in dating. I want to finish my studies without love, thank you very much,” Ann said and dropped her eyes back to her books.“Come on. It will be fun,” Jessica said and grabbed the book that Ann was busy with.“When was the last time you opened a book?” Ann questioned and took one of her other books and filled it open.“Every d
Everyone was gathered in the lycan throne room discussing a plan of action to find Jessica.“What I don’t understand is why would Torvald release Jessica only to abduct her months later?” Wynn raised his opinion.“It does not make sense, I agree,” Deacon said.‘Jovita,’ hear Jessica’s mind link and looked at Deacon, who felt Jessica’s fear a split second before it went away again.“Why is she mind linking you and not me?” Deacon questioned.“It is a trap,” Juno said, having heard Jessica’s plead for help through Jovita.“What does Torvald hope to achieve?” Deacon questioned, frustrated.***“What is your plan? Why did you compel me to abduct Jessica the moment I have her alone?” Michael spat.“It took you long enough,” Torvald said. “You may go and tell them that if they want Jessica, they have to send only her parents.”“What do you want with her parents?” Michael questioned, making his way out of the room that was part of a bigger mansion where Torvald has been hiding, using the hum
“Please be safe,” Soroya cried, saying goodbye to Ondrink.“You have nothing to fear. We are seventeen shamans and nine Shamikas. He does not stand a chance,” Ondrink assured her with a kiss. After agreeing to a plan, Deacon and most of the higher council went ahead to surround the location where Torvald was holding Jessica captive. Jovita cried in silence on their way to where Torvald wanted them to meet him, her mind raising with bad memories.FLASHBACKThe door opened and a tall, strong-looking man without hair walked out with an unconscious woman over his shoulders. “You can take her in.”“Go inside then,” the maid said, and Princess Jovita fearfully obeyed.“Come, hop on to the bed,” King Torvald said, padding his hand on the bed, licking his lips, catching the scent of the wolf, enticing him.Princess Jovita jumped onto the bed against her will and before she even had a chance to be scared, the King sunk his teeth into her neck.‘How is this even possible? Vampires cannot drink
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
