Lots Of Love!
Chapter: 103 ****** VALE: The days that followed my arrival in Drakenshire blurred into a haze, marked by the throbbing ache that settled behind my eyes. After suffering a relentless headache throughout the day, I found myself drawn back to the casino that evening, like a moth to a flame. The vibrant chaos of the casino felt strangely comforting, a distraction from the whirlwind of emotions that had taken hold of me since my arrival. As I approached the bar, the lively sounds of clinking glasses and laughter enveloped me with a calmness that momentarily dulled the ache in my head. The warm glow of the overhead lights illuminated the polished surface of the bar, where patrons leaned in, sharing stories and secrets over their drinks. The bartender, a tall man with a rugged charm, stood behind the counter, effortlessly mixing cocktails with a fluidity that spoke of years spent in this bustling environment. His short, tousled dark hair framed a face that bore the marks of experienc
Chapter: 104 ****** VALE: As we settled into the living room, the three of us quickly fell into easy conversation. Jake shared amusing anecdotes from his bartending experiences, while Ryan chimed in with his own stories from their university days. They have been friends for a long time. Laughter filled the room, and I felt the warmth of their friendship enveloping me like a comforting blanket. “Don’t worry, Vale,” Ryan said with a grin, “we’ll make sure you feel right at home here. Drakenshire is a great place, especially with us to show you the ropes.” As Jake and Ryan continued sharing stories and laughter in the cozy living room, I couldn’t shake a lingering curiosity about Drakenshire. The city felt vibrant and alive, yet there was something oddly homogenous about it. I took a moment to observe my surroundings, noting the absence of any beings that deviated from the human norm. “So, what’s the deal with Drakenshire?” I asked, trying to mask my intrigue. “I haven’t se
Chapter: 105 ******* TALON: The car glided to a stop in the exclusive underground parking area reserved for high-profile guests. The driver stepped out and opened the door for me, a gesture that felt both formal and reassuring. Nights like this had become my refuge, especially since my first visit here with John. For far too long, I had struggled with my own well-being, enduring a hunger that seemed insatiable. After our initial encounter, I found myself staring at John's business card for days, contemplating whether to reach out. It wasn’t until that fateful night, when my strength waned to the point of desperation, that I finally dialed his number. John’s enthusiasm upon receiving my call was palpable. Without hesitation, he whisked me away to the Crestwood Hotel, an establishment he owned, which also housed an exclusive members-only club concealed within the bustling casino. Upon our arrival, he presented me with a key to a private suite, where a server awaited with a reple
Chapter: 106 ******* VALE: As my shift began in the casino, I found myself alongside Jake, both of us bustling with orders amid an exceptionally busy night. During a brief lull, Jake turned to me and mentioned that I needed to head down to the cellar to retrieve an aged wine. I nodded, grabbed the keys from their hook, and made my way through the back doors, descending the stairs toward the underground wine cellar. With a lightness in my step and a melody on my lips, I hummed the same tune that had been lodged in my head for the past few days. I couldn't place where it had come from, but there was something enchanting about it that I found comforting—a catchy little refrain that I didn't mind replaying in my mind. Once I flicked on the lights in the cellar, the rich aroma of wine and oak barrels enveloped me. I quickly located the bottle we needed and turned to leave. However, just outside the cellar doors, something caught my attention—a scent that sent my senses into a wh
Chapter: 107 ******* TALON: The dim light of the room cast a spotlight on me, highlighting every pulse of desire that coursed through my body as I reclined on the sofa, my thighs spread wide in silent invitation. Above me, Vale loomed—a figure of tantalizing temptation. His striking white and blue eyes pierced through me, filled with a predatory hunger that sent exhilarating shivers racing down my spine. The warmth radiating from him felt like an electric current, drawing me closer and igniting a fierce fire deep within. With each breath, my heart quickened, and I sensed the weight of his gaze enveloping me—a blend of suffocation and intoxication. A whimper escaped my lips, a desperate plea for something beyond my control. Restlessness consumed me, my body squirming beneath the growing tension as Vale's intoxicating pheromones wrapped around me, thick and heady, driving me to the brink of madness. *** Although I had longed to see him again, nothing could have prepared me for this
Chapter: 108 ****** TALON: “Does that feel good, love?” Vale taunted, pressing gently against my ear, rubbing with just enough pressure to make my breath hitch. I nodded desperately, my words lost in a haze of need. My heart raced as warmth pooled within me, a fire igniting with every stroke of his fingers. “Vale—please…!” I whimpered, my voice trembling as I begged for more. But he merely watched, a wicked glint dancing in his eyes, reveling in my helplessness. I felt the evidence of my desire hard and pressed through my pants, making me squirm under his intense gaze. “More?” he teased, pulling his hand away just as I was on the brink, leaving me gasping. The sudden absence of contact sent a wave of longing crashing over me, and I cried out for him, “No! Don’t stop! I need you!” Each plea was laced with desperation, my body aflame with an insatiable need for his touch. Vale chuckled softly, the sound dripping with amusement. “But you see, Virgil, watching you squirm is just as
Chapter: 109 ******* VALE AND ALTAIR: As much as I relished the idea of teasing him further, the unmistakable scent of a vampire wafting from the door halted me in my tracks. I needed to ensure that he couldn't enter; my lover's presence must remain concealed, especially in his current state—sprawled out, breaths coming in quick gasps, an eager desire evident in his disheveled appearance. The urge to succumb to my instincts and ravage him was nearly overwhelming, particularly as Altair appeared at my side. I felt the tension between us, a potent mix of playful teasing and fierce protectiveness, capable of igniting a blaze that could consume the entire hotel. Our mate was caught in a delicate struggle, torn between my presence and that of my half. Questions swirled in my mind but now was not the time for inquiries. I recalled the words of Jake and Ryan regarding Helios, the man whose body our lover now occupied. A family man—married with children—yet Helios was a mere memory
Chapter: 110 ******* VALE AND ALTAIR: “Look, I get it,” He said, trying to diffuse the situation. “You’re passionate about your bond, and I respect that. I didn’t mean to disrespect what you have. It’s just… sometimes people don’t understand the depth of things they can’t see.” My expression softened a bit, but the intensity remained. “It’s not just about seeing, it’s about feeling. Virgil and I share something that goes beyond words, beyond what anyone else can comprehend. It’s a connection forged through trials that would break most. So when someone speaks lightly of it, it feels like a personal attack.” “I understand that now,” he replied, sincere in his tone. “I’ll be more mindful in the future. Just know that I’m not your enemy; I want to support you both. I want to understand.” I nodded slowly, the fire in my eyes dimming slightly. “Just remember, our bond is not something to be taken lightly. It’s everything to us.” “Understood,” he said firmly. “I’ll make sure to hon

Chapter: 145 ***** PART THREE AND THE END…. “Come,” Arion said, rising to his feet and gesturing for me to follow. He led me toward the Mirror of Eternity mounted on the wall. “Look,” he instructed, pointing into its depths. A swirling cloud of smoke filled the mirror, gradually taking shape to reveal my Virgil, deep within the forest behind Elysium, where he often went for his hunts. “This was the moment you asked me to watch over him while you fulfilled your vows to the Goddess. That night, he saw me by the river. He didn’t recognize me, of course, but he spoke to me. It was at that moment I realized he had perceived my presence. He shouldn’t have been able to see me unless I revealed myself, yet I never did, and still, he saw me.” I stepped closer to the mirror, placing my hand against the cool surface where his image lingered. Arion turned to me, his gaze intent. “Do you know what he said to me that night?” I shook my head, turning my full attention to him. “He sa
Chapter: 144 ****** PART TWO: Virgil gasped as Vale's tongue lapped vigorously as his exposed velvet heat. The strange sensation caused Virgil to writhe and moan, leaning closer to the mattress and holding his ass higher for his wolf to continue his oral assault on his tender hole. It wasn't long before saliva started to drip down Virgil's thighs, the Vampire was a slave to his own body. "Please... More!" He found himself begging as he looked back at his giant white wolf. Slowly, Vale began to shift but Virgil was lost in his own world to notice this until two fingers slipped into his mouth and he sucked on them, wetting them, moaning as more of Vale's taste seeped into him. Then the fingers were taken from his eager mouth, and Virgil was going to protest their loss when he cried out as they were pushing deep inside him, curling to stroke over his gland roughly. “Ngh... P-Please…” Virgil begged, his voice trembling with desperate need, prompting a deep chuckle from Vale.
Chapter: 143 ****** EPILOGUE PART ONE: ***** Once in the bedroom, Vale leaned against the door, his presence commanding and intoxicating. As Virgil stepped down, the air thickened with the heady scent of Vale’s strong pheromones, wrapping around him like a warm embrace. It ignited memories of that first, wild rush of desire, sending shivers down his spine as he recalled the way he had once lost control, surrendering to his own touch. A soft smile played on Virgil’s lips, a blend of confidence and vulnerability, as he approached the edge of the bed. With Vale still poised by the door, a silent guardian of their shared tension, he began to undress, each movement deliberately slow and tantalizing. The fabric slipped away, revealing skin that glistened under the dim light, and Vale’s gaze roamed hungrily, filled with a fierce longing that made Virgil's heart race. In that charged atmosphere, the world outside faded, leaving only the two of them, electric and raw. Vale's eyes

Chapter: 142 ****** THIRD PERSON: The air in the bonding hall was thick with anticipation, the soft glow of candlelight flickering against the stone walls, casting dancing shadows that seemed to echo the hearts of those gathered. At the front of the room, the Elder stepped forward, his presence commanding yet soothing, drawing the attention of all who were present. With a gentle but firm voice, he began to anchor the ceremony. “We are gathered here today to celebrate the union of two souls who, through trials and tribulations, have found each other. Their love has stood strong against all odds.” His gaze swept across the assembly, each face reflecting the warmth of shared joy. “Today, we witness their sealing—the binding of two souls, different by blood and Kin, yet entwined by love. It is a sacred bond, a fate joined.” The Elder raised his staff high, its tip adorned with intricate carvings that glimmered in the candlelight. He pointed it toward the moon-shaped window abov
Chapter: 141 ****** THIRD PERSON: “Are you ready?” Dirk asked his presence a comforting reminder of the love and support that surrounded Talon since his Uncle accepted him and forgave him, even amid familial discord. Talon nodded, a genuine smile breaking through as he turned back to his father one last time. “I’ll be okay,” he reassured, stepping toward Dirk. The man had transformed over the years, treating Talon with a kindness that felt like a continuous effort to make up for the many lost years between them. Talon deeply appreciated his uncle’s efforts and the love he offered; it was something he had longed for throughout his life. Despite having a father now, Talon’s bond with Dirk remained unchanged. No matter what, Dirk would always be the only family Talon truly knew. “Dad!” The exuberant voices of his children rang through the air as they burst into the room, their faces alight with joy. At thirteen years old, they were a whirlwind of energy, and Talon’s hear
Chapter: 140 ****** THIRD PERSON: The RiverBay Pack buzzed with excitement, the air thick with anticipation as the Bonding celebration approached. In the farthest wing of the Manor, Talon remained secluded, locked away for three days, immersed in the necessary rituals, the only people he saw during this time were his uncle and the omegas who attended to him. He could feel the weight of the hours pressing against him, each moment drawing him closer to the one he longed to see—Vale. Even Altair who roamed around his head with each breath he took, was locked out. The ache of missing his soulmate gnawed at him, a reminder of their shared connection that surpassed time. Dressed in a sleek black bonding attire, Talon admired his reflection in the mirror. The fabric clung to him, elegant yet tantalizing, hinting at the form beneath while maintaining an aura of mystery. His chest tightened with a mix of eagerness and anxiety as he recalled the whirlwind of change that had swept throug
Chapter: 139 ***** TALON: ("Are you aware that she’s manipulating you, or rather, manipulating Helios?") Altair’s voice sliced through my reverie, prompting a smile as I gathered the children and guided them toward their bedroom. It was essential to soothe their spirits so they could find peace tonight. Helen accompanied me until we reached the children's room, but it was Liam who broke the silence first. “Can we stay in your room tonight?” he asked, his voice still tinged with the remnants of tears, soft and fragile. Without hesitation, I nodded and redirected our path toward my own bedroom. Once inside, I tucked the twins into bed, remaining by their side until their breathing steadied into sleep. Helen had slipped away earlier, leaving just me and the children in the quiet room. With them finally at rest, I turned and stepped out onto the balcony, settling into a chair as I gazed up at the luminous moon. “I apologize for keeping you restrained while she was hurting
