Paris was counting down the hours that felt like a lifetime and now and then forced himself to look at Soraya, that was sleeping. ‘I love her, but I love Ann more. Urg, how can I even love if I don’t even have a bloody heart?’ Paris brushed a stranded lock of hair out of Soraya’s face. “It is time to go princess.” Soraya’s eyes fluttered open, and she smiled at Paris, reaching out and touching his face. Paris folded his hand over hers. “ready?” Before Soraya could even respond, he picked her up and sped off, hoping that Merch and his nest won’t catch up to them before he reached Alaska. *** “Wife,” Merch greeted casually when Paris entered the nest house with Soraya in his arms. Soraya’s face went white as the blood drained from her face. Paris's eyes went from Merch to Shysie as he slowly put Soraya down on her feet. “I know you,” Soraya said, frowning at Shysie, but didn’t know from where. “She is your girlfriend. One of them?” Soraya questioned, remembering what she saw w
“Meet Soraya,” Paris said and stood up from the chair he was sitting on. “Soraya meet the new vampire king,” Paris showed toward Michael.“Your wife? I thought she was dead.” Michael frowned, confused. “Where is Ann?”“She left to go look for Jessica,” Paris said.“I thought Wynn and Deacon would have sniffed her out by now,” Michael said with his confused eyes on Soraya, wondering, ‘does this mean Ann is all mine?’“Merch is an excellent tracker. If anyone is going to find this Jessica girl, it will be him.” Soraya shuffled on the edge of the bed where she was sitting.“Merch?” Michael questioned.“Merch is her current husband, and he left with Ann, but he is not a good guy,” Paris said, looking at Soraya.“And you allowed her to leave with him?” Michael stormed out of the room and sped out of the compound.Paris followed him, “she warned him off. She told him she is with the Vampire King, so I doubt he will try anything,” Paris explained, trying to justify his actions.“She really s
Jessica woke up one night and went to the bathroom. While in the bathroom, she felt a cold draft coming from above. She put the lid of the toilet down and stood on it to try and figure out where the draft was coming from.‘Definitely from the ceiling, she thought and pressed against the wood planks. ‘OMW!’ Jessica thought when the plank lifted up without effort. ‘Whoever build this place must have not trusted whomever they build it for,’ Jessica thought as she felt another plank.Jessica carefully moved the planks aside and pulled herself up into the ceiling. Once in the attic, she positioned the planks carefully back. Jessica looked around in the dark but didn’t have to use her wolf sight because the attic had two windows, one that was open that caused the draft. The half-cut moon gave enough light to the attic.‘Is the vampire around?’ She wondered if he was out feeding somewhere since she did hear him leave before she fell asleep. ‘What if I didn’t hear him come back?’ Jessica lis
The vampire tucked at Ann’s pants while hot tears ran down her face. “Oh, don’t cry pretty thing, you will enjoy it,” he said loud enough for Jessica to hear.Jessica jumped up when she heard what the vampire said and realized that he must have somehow compelled her from the start, ‘how did I not hear him compel her?’ Jessica turned towards the loose planks and then changed her mind when she saw the trap door, ‘best he does not know how I escaped in the first place.’Jessica pulled open the trapdoor that led to the kitchen of the cabin and lowered herself down as there was no ladder. Her landing with a thump on the wood floors got the Vampire’s attention.The vampire jumped away from Ann, “there you are princess.”He sped over and grabbed Jessica and flung her towards the room that was her former prison. He shut the door and leaned against it, ‘thank goodness I got the princess back. I won’t be able to leave here again, but at least I have a blood supply now,’ he thought, not the leas
When Ami saw Mrs. Willow grabbing her chest, she quickly shifted back into her human form and pulled only her coat on, “are you ok?”Ami rushed over to Mrs. Willow, panicked, “should I call an ambulance?”“No, no,” Mrs. Willow said and stumbled into a chair.“Are you sure?” Ami asked, worried.“All this time I thought my husband was joking,” Mrs. Willow said, shaking her head.“What kind of monster took my daughter?” Mrs. Willow asked, going into a full-blown panic state.“Calm down, no one took her. She left with a really good tracker vampire to find Jessica. I just wasn’t so sure how to tell you,” Ami explained and sat down next to Mrs. Willow.“You knew she was not abducted?” Mrs. Willow’s panic changed into anger.“I am sorry,” Ami tried and stood up to put some distance between her and an angry mother.“I let you in my house! This danger is in my town because of you lot!” Mrs. Willow accused.“Ok, that is my cue to leave,” Ami said and left the house. On the porch, she dropped he
Wynn flinched from the sun because his eyes have not seen daylight for a while and expected to boil into ash, so he clutched his arms over his face and was about to scream at the pain that didn’t come.“Geuss, you are still a hybrid,” Michael chuckled.“You are such an asshole,” Wynn shoved him away from him.“Have you ever tried to use your vampire speed during the day? Clearly, you are not just any kind of hybrid.” Michael asked.“If a hybrid tries to use their speed during daylight, they will burn,” Wynn explained.“Sure, but not to death. Why don’t you try? If it burns, you simply stop,” Michael suggested.“You clearly do not know how much it hurts when a vampire or hybrid burns,” Wynn objected and went back into the halfway house.“Can you carry two of us?” Wynn asked, thinking since he can be out in daylight that they should get going.“I can carry ten of you, maybe more,” Michael said.Wynn walked over to the room where Deacon was sleeping and kicked the bed. “Tt is time to go.
Before Jessica knew what hit her, she got swept up and was carried away by the most beautiful female she has ever laid eyes on. “I will bite and kill you if you don’t let me go!” Jessica warned the female vampire.“Please don’t. I am fighting for the good side, your side,” she said and hoped that the princess will believe her.“What about my friends?!” Jessica yelled, the speed the female vampire was going on making the wind carry her voice away.“I am Emily,” the dark head, blue-eyed vampire introduced herself, putting Jessica down. “Former fated and claimed mate of Prince Deacon.”“Former?” Jessica questioned.“We will wait out the day that is about to break here,” Emily said, and pulled the curtains.“As far as I know, the midnight sun here in Alaska has no effect on vampires,” Jessica said, walking over to the door.“We are not in Alaska anymore.” Emily blocked her path to the door.“Where are we?” Jessica demanded to know.“Canada, where the sun does actually kill vampires like
“You get some rest, princess,” Emily said and handed Jessica a blanket.“You owe me a story. I want to know how you met Deacon and how the hell did you end up a vampire, and why did he tell me not to trust you?"“Get comfortable because it is going to be a long story,” Emily chuckled, and sat on a sofa across from Jessica.Emily was about to start her story when she noticed Jessica was fast asleep.“Poor thing,” Emily said out loud and covered Jessica with the blanket, thinking, ‘I am just glad everyone is ok and it is all over, for now.’ But mostly she was happy that the man she loved had a forever mate again. When Emily found out that Deacon’s forever mate was abducted, she promised herself that she will find her, if it was the last thing she did because she hated the way he spiraled out of control, believing she was dead. Emily has been hiding from Deacon, not because she didn’t love him, but because she knew being with him will mean that his bloodline will die out and so she wait
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
