"I will meet up with you in my study," Davide says."It is an urgent matter that can't wait," Luke says."Of course, it can wait," Davide chuckles, turning his focus back to you and your family."Davide, trust me on this," Luke says with a firm voice, looking at you instead of Davide."If he says it can wait then it can wait," you say, putting your arm firmly around Davide's arm."Why don't you sit down and enjoy your visit with your parents," Luke demands.'Crap, he knows,' you realize and wish there was a way that you can mind link your mom. You feel your body obey and you take a seat. Davide looks at you with a frown plastered on his face."He is right. You go take care of business. I have kept you away from your work long enough," you smile."Not that it is a bad thing," your mom chips in, "You have the potential to do good, and lead an honest life.""Mom, don't," you silence her."If you must know, I have been focusing my attention on earning an honest living," Davide says, walk
"Stop," Davide comes to his senses, realizing that Kezia's sister might be lying out of revenge and hate for you. "I will arrange for a shaman to confirm your claims. After that you can do with her as you please," Davide says but she does not let go of you. Davide grabs her by her neck from behind. "I said, Stop." She hisses at you as she lets you go, leaving you to pant for air. "Fine. It is your baby but do you really want a baby with her?" she spat. Davide slaps her through her face. "You dare to harm my child? I don't care who is carrying it!" Davide slapped her so hard that she fell to the ground. She got to her feet and stormed off, yelling, "You all will pay for this!" "Come," Davide says, grabbing you by your arm and pulling you up. He drags you to his room. "You are not to leave this room. Don't speak. Don't try to escape," he orders before leaving you. You spent the rest of the day crying while Davide wrecks his head on how to deal with your dead parents, not allowing
After a passionate, uncontrollable love-making session Davide held you in his arms. "Can you ever forgive me for what I have done to you?" You know you should respond but at the same time, you blame him for the death of his parents. "Gio was not your friend," you say instead of responding to his question. "What are you talking about?" Davide sat up, forcing you into a sitting position yourself. "He and," you start but Davide wants to hear nothing about it. "Here I am thinking we can find our way to each other," he spat before getting out of bed. "I just lost my best friend and you your parents, the last thing I want to talk about is your trust issues in a bloody man that is dead," Davide spat in disbelief before storming out of the room. 'At least he has come to his senses. He must have been under some sort of spell,' you think and fall into his pillow. You ravish his scent but then stop yourself. 'Not yet. I should not allow myself to get more attached, not before I know the tr
You wake up with sharp pain ripping your core. 'Geuss me rejecting him did not work,' you cry. 'How dare he do this to me. How dare he risk our child's life?' you think taking deep breaths. The pain has never been this bad. 'I have to find a shaman to put a protective spell over me before I lose this baby,' you will yourself to get up from the bed. Despite your will, it is not strong enough to fight the pain of a fated mate betraying you. You drop back onto your parent's bed before losing consciousness. You are barely passed out when you wake up with another painful ripping. You manage to make your way to your own bedroom, remembering that your cell phone is still there. You already anticipated that it will be flat since it has not been charged for months; since that night that Davide claimed you. Most likely the night I conceived.You woke up in the passage, realizing that you must have fainted again. 'No pain,' you realize and got to your feet, rushing to your room, fearing more pa
You make the mistake and attempt to mind link shaman Inkarr. The moment you open your mind you hear David's voice. 'Guess your rejection didn't work. Come back to the castle. That child in your belly is as much mine as it is yours,' he says through a mind link. You see in his mind who his new lover is and it does not suppose you. 'Not while she is there,' you mind link. 'You don't want me, remember? You don't get to tell me who I get to date and not,' he mind links again. Along with his mind link, you feel something else and immediately block your mind again. 'What the hell is he and that bloody enchantress up to?' You wonder, realizing for the sake of your unborn child that Davide can never find you. You regret attempting to mind link the shaman, thinking that Davide might know where you are. You wonder how much time you have before he catches up with you. You have been traveling for a few days in the woods, following a river in the hope to find a small pack to join and stay low
For the next few months, your belly grew while you stayed in peace with a pack that consisted only of she-wolves. One morning while having breakfast you knew something is wrong when both the pack luna and her shaman took a seat at the table that you are seated at. "What an honor to have breakfast with the two of you," you greeted with a nervous smile. "Good morning," the luna greets you. "I come with bad news. The rogue king has sent a message. If I don't hand you over he will execute my whole pack." "When do you plan to hand me over?" You ask as you put your fork down. "He is already waiting but he can't see us, not yet," she informs you. "If there was time I would have helped you but there is none." You can see that she is not happy about it. Even though you have not joined her pack you are practically a pack member. The luna stood up but you stop her. "I have a human friend that needs your help." 'I might not be able to be free but perhaps Mel can still be free,' you think as
You didn't wake up when Davide returned to the room later that night and placed your daughter next to you. 'It is her feeding time,' Davide startled awake when the wetnurse mind links him.'Come in,' he mind link her back and sat up. ''Feed her and don't bring her back,'' Davide said in a soft tone to not wake you up.Your eyes fling open when the wet nurse shut the door behind her.You can smell a baby and know it is your daughter. You leap towards the door, not realizing that Davide is in bed with you. You sink to the ground against the door, crying. Sparks flow through you when a warm hand touches yours. You open your eyes and meet Davide's. You charge him and find yourself on top of him, slamming your fist against his chest as silent tears fell.When your body no longer had the strength you fell onto his chest. 'Don't do this,' you mind link him, pushing off his chest to see his face.''Claim me,'' he says in a soft pleading voice, his hands on your thighs. 'No. You are a mon
Instead of reading the letter, you got occupied with tending to your newborn. ''Princess?'' you hear a familiar voice after a knock on the bedroom door.''Dave?!'' you exclaim. ''Come in,'' you say, taking your daughter off your breast and covering yourself.''Sorry, I can come back later,'' he apologizes and retreats.''Don't be silly,'' you chuckle. You lay your daughter carefully down on the bed and embrace Dave, catching him off guard. ''I am so happy to see you alive and well.''''I am sorry for allowing all that shit to happen to you. We were all spelled, and under Davide's kingship orders,'' he explains. ''I know,'' you say with a forgiving smile.''Since he send the enchantress on her way and allowed shaman Innkarr to give him the guidance he has been a good leader. I have to admit he makes a damn good alpha king. He is a natural leader unlike alpha Chase,'' Dave says.''Please stop talking about Davide as if he is God's gift to mankind,'' you say irritated.''He and his mafi
Later that evening, the Lycan King and his closest confidant, Wynn, found themselves alone in the quiet seclusion of the King’s private chambers, the low flickering of candlelight casting shadows across the stone walls. The tension of the day still lingered in the air as they shared a rare moment of camaraderie.“I can’t thank you enough for what you did today,” the King began in a low, gravelly tone, his gaze steady as he reached for a decanter of aged bourbon. He poured the rich amber liquid into two heavy crystal glasses, the sound of it splashing softly against the silence.Wynn shifted uneasily, crossing his arms before moving closer to the King. “We deceived them with a false prophecy,” he replied, voice thick with bitterness. He took the offered glass but didn’t drink immediately, his eyes narrowed as he regarded the swirling drink with a conflicted expression. “I’m not exactly proud of manipulating them like that.”The King’s lips twisted into a wry smile as he held his own gl
Ellle turned to face the Lycan King with unwavering determination. "I will go with you willingly," she declared, her voice steady despite the turmoil within her.The Lycan King regarded her with a mixture of curiosity and respect. "You possess a rare courage, Elle," he acknowledged. "But know that your sacrifice will not go unnoticed."As Elle stepped forward to join the Lycan King, Wynn's voice cut through the tension. "Wait," he commanded, his eyes ablaze with an intensity that silenced the gathering."The time for secrecy has passed," Wynn declared, his gaze shifting to the Lycan King. "It is time for the truth to be revealed."With a flicker of uncertainty crossing his features, the Lycan King nodded in agreement.Wynn turned to face the assembled pack, his voice ringing out with authority. "Listen well, for what I am about to reveal will shake the foundations of our world."As the pack members leaned in, captivated by Wynn's words, he began to recount the ancient prophecy that ha
With a commanding tone, the alpha exclaimed, "Lock Johnathan up!"The Luna, unable to find words to express her disagreement, reluctantly shook her head. She silently obeyed and began gathering the pack members. "Everyone, shift into your animal forms, and let's get going," she ordered.The pack members quickly began to undress, preparing to shift. However, families with young children remained unchanged. Understanding the urgency of the situation, the pack members did not dare to gather their belongings.Just as they were about to depart, a hysterical laughter echoed through the air. "It is too late!" Johnathan shouted.His father, already aware of the dire situation, had hoped that they would be able to escape.An idea struck me, and I suggested, "Michael can cast a spell on them, hiding them in the woods."The Luna retorted, "They will smell them, and besides, they have more powerful shamans than Michael."The alpha, recognizing the potential value of the suggestion, responded, "It
"I will go find the Alpha and ask for his advice," Elle says and leaves. You notice that she left the door open and begin to wonder if you should try to leave as well. Contemplating your decision, you walk towards the door and cautiously step right through."Perhaps I can come with you?" you call after Elle, hoping to lend a helping hand."I am not your keeper," Elle responds, allowing you a moment to catch up.You both continue walking in silence, allowing Elle to take the lead. Passing each door, you turn your head in anticipation, searching for any sign of Micheal."What are you doing out of your rooms?" Johnathan questions with a stern tone as the two of you unexpectedly cross paths in the hallway of the packhouse."I am looking for your father," Elle politely responds, explaining her purpose."He's in a meeting," Johnathan says, his tone filled with frustration. "Michael managed to escape and killed two guards in the process.""Did he really? And he left without her?" Elle asks,
You patiently waited in silence, feigning sleep, desperately hoping that the Alpha and his son would eventually depart. Determined to keep your true wakefulness a secret, you resolved not to give them any indication of your awareness. Thoughts raced through your mind as you formulated a plan: "I'll wait until they're gone and then carefully make my escape. But, above all, I hope Michael is alright." With utmost concentration, you shifted your attention solely to regulating your breaths, maintaining composure amidst the tense situation."Do you happen to know if Michael is still asleep?" you hear the Alpha inquire.Perplexed by the question, his son chuckles and asks, "Why are you asking me? Father, you can simply link your mind with his guard." Asserting his point."I entrusted you with the responsibility of overseeing the guards." Frustrated by the situation, the Alpha lets out an exasperated sigh and proceeds to establish a mental connection with the guard in charge of Michael himse
Elle, overcome with emotion, leaps towards Jude and flings her arms around him, desperately seeking comfort. In a sudden bold move, she presses her lips onto his, surprising him. "Hey," Jude manages to push her away gently, his brows furrowed in confusion. "What are you doing?"Elle, her voice trembling, replies, "You saved me, Jude. You found me again." She tries to lean in for another kiss, hoping to rekindle their lost connection.Jude chuckles softly, attempting to keep her at arm's length. "Sure, but there's no need to kiss me," he says, his tone light. Deep down, though, he struggles with the conflict within him, the memory of their love wiped from his mind.Confusion clouds Elle's face as she asks, "Is there someone else? I don't understand." Unaware of Jude's altered memories, she searches for answers, her brows knit together.Jude, in a cold and detached manner, replies, "You are still just a pack slave to me, Elle. No matter what blood runs through your veins." He takes a st
When Elle's eyes met Jude's she felt a sense of belonging.Elle's mind was a blank canvas, devoid of any memories or sense of identity. Lost and confused, a lingering feeling of emptiness. With her eyes on Jude's, a spark ignited within her. Though her memory remained elusive, there was an inexplicable familiarity in the depths of their gaze. It was as if their souls had connected long before their paths crossed. A glimmer of hope flickered within Elle, a belief that Jude held the key to unlocking her forgotten past. Yet, as her heart whispered of trust, a shadow of doubt intertwined with her longing. Could she truly rely on this stranger, or would he lead her astray? The answers lay hidden in the depths of their shared gaze, beckoning Elle to uncover the truth and discover the depths of her own being.“All yours. Now leave.” Neil said, coming to a halt in front of Jude. “You are to obey him, no matter what,” Neil said before leaving them.Jude's heart raced as Neil's words echoed in
The female on the stage walked off and got onto a nearby table when Neil coached Elle onto the stage. "Take off your clothes."Under an obedient spell, Elle took off her clothes without hesitation. "Let me be clear. She might be barren and she is most definitely not a virgin. Opening bid has already been placed at 100k," Neil stated, looking at the few men in the club. His first bid came from a couple that has been regulars at his club for almost a year. He has been hiding them for favors that only a prehistoric vampire could give, like his now-dead sister has been hiding her prehistoric vampire.Elle kept her eyes on Jude, hoping he would place a bid.Jude's eyes were on Elle, wondering why he was so wildly attracted to her. 'What debt is she paying off here?' Jude wondered, thinking the only reason why a Lycan would be strutting her stuff in a club owned by an enchanting community if because of a deal gone wrong. People suspected the Lycan females were being held against their will
"I am fucking with you. Niva will kill the both of us." Assire chuckles and steps away from Elle, leaving her even more confused."I know. I was just playing along." Elle recovers."Liar." Assire chuckles again.Elle shook her head and focused on cleaning up with Assire's eyes on her. Truth is, Assire has developed feelings for Elle and is testing the waters. He does not know how she feels about him as he can't drink from her since they are trying to impregnate her.'What if Niva does not know that I drank from her? I will just take a drop.' Assire thought, looking at Elle."Elle. Come over here." Assire compels her.Elle walks over to him. "Everything ok?" "Shh. Not a word to this to Niva." Assire says and takes her hand, turning her palm up."What are you doing? You can't." Elle protested, trying to retract."Shh." Assire compels her and sinks his teeth into her. Assire lets go of her a moment later, disappointed that she is only going to use him to escape."How do you even have t
