Chapter 51: Warrior and Queen

We stand in silence for a moment, allowing the excitement of events to fade away like an early morning moon. But tonight is ours; no more worries about Zack or Dr. Mansfield or even Zull-at least for a little while. Dominic pulls back, releasing his hold around my waist and reaches out, picking up a glass of champagne he placed on the table next to us, "I would like to make a toast to my beautiful new bride." He hands me the glass and leans down to kiss my forehead, "To eternal love." He says with a slight crack in his voice. I can tell he's struggling with his own emotions but he doesn't try to hide it, his eyes suddenly glassy."To putting up with me for the rest of your life." I giggle, taking his hand. He smiles briefly, then his eyes down to my breasts and a warm flush travels straight to my core. I don't have to say a word. I don't even have to think it, because he knows.  I'm ready."You may want to guzzle that because I'm taking my new husband to bed."His mouth turns in

Chapter 52: Consummation

I want him.I want him now.Desperately feeling around, I find a loose strip of cloth and yank, instantly releasing the weight of him dropping to my thigh. Instinctively, my hand wraps around his warm, solid penis, stroking up to a slightly wet tip. I scoot down, trying to get closer. I want to explore and smell and taste everything."Are-are you sure you want to do that?" He looks down with a troubled face."Don't you want me to?" my hands move up the tops of his thighs."Well, yes, I just..." he stops because I brush my nose over his stomach, inhaling deeply and his skin ripples with gooseflesh. He grasps my head hard, fingers twisted in the thick of my hair-God he's warm. My tongue travels the length of him and I kiss and suck along the way. Dominic quickly pulls away before I can stop him and lifts me up, turning me over on my back. He breathes in deeply, kissing his way down my torso and stops just above the edge of my curls."Damn," he says."What?" I ask, alarmed. "

Chapter 53: Instinct

His massive hands cover me back up and I study the shape of his long fingers. "I guess Emily has to be dealt with sooner rather than later."He nods in reply, "I also have to arrange for her room to be moved next to ours.""I think it's the only way, Dominic. The only way we'll for sure be able to watch her every move.""I agree," he pushes off the bed and stands, "Although, I doubted it at first. But you allowed your instincts to guide you-as you should have.""I just did what the Council told me to do."He walks over to the door, "You trusted them, and you trusted yourself. That is the first step in leading your people with honorable intent-the way a true queen should." He pulls up on the latch, "Go back to sleep," he says, his voice slightly louder than a whisper, "Victoria will be here at 7:30 with your breakfast. With any luck, I will be back to join you."He quietly dashes through the door, only his cloak making a swishing sound before it closes. The room goes silent and of

Chapter 54: Striping of Duties

"Your new quarters will be located down the hall from ours," I glance up at Dominic, trying to ignore the slight grin on his face, "Until further notice, you will be placed on probation. And, you will no longer have access to our medical facility or our staff."Her eyes pop up at me, "You can't be serious!" she laughs, but it's clear she's not amused. "I'm a doctor, I have patients and prescriptions to fill!""What part of probation do you not understand?" I tell her, watching her breathing become more labored."Why? So you can track my every move?" her hands go to her hips, "Are my bathroom habits that interesting to you, your highness?" her intentional sarcasm practically slaps me in the face.She's trying to piss me off but it won't work."Yes, as a matter of fact," I take another step toward her, "Every single thing you do interests me."Emily's lips tighten into a thin line but she doesn't back away. She just stands there, facing me as if gearing up for the next round. "Th

Chapter 55: The Truth Comes Out

Emily's eyes go wide and she immediately tries to scoot away, grotesquely, forgetting one arm is badly broken. She shrieks in pain but Dominic follows her, his unrelenting chase ending with her pinned against the wall and panting like an animal."I already told you!" she yells, still not backing down as Dominic brutally thrusts her up by her good arm like she's a rag doll. "Do not be stupid, doctor," his enormous fingers wrap around her forearm, tightening their grip, "You will not win.""Zull!" she shouts, spitting in his face and he drops her, causing her to scream in pain as he knuckles away the wetness.Heavy footsteps sound to my right and Gideon fades into view, charging toward us. Dominic takes a single step back still glaring at Emily, "Take her to the infirmary." He commands, finally pulling his eyes away from her to look at Gideon. "And assign two Fighters outside her door."Without hesitation, Gideon leans down, reaching for Emily but she ducks, scurrying away from h

Chapter 56: Zull's Return

"Don't you understand you can't get rid of me? I mean, sure, you can kill the vessel," she holds out her arms, the broken one now thickly bandaged up as she glances at their movement like she's seeing them for the first time. "But I believe I've made the game a little harder." She smiles, cranking her head oddly, "Because killing a woman, especially an innocent one, would be unbearable for you." Her lips curl into a smile, eyes glowing with a hint of red, "Am I right?""This is not a game, Zull, release her! Now!" Dominic's thunderous voice shouts back at her and she stumbles slightly, a sibilance of fear behind her expression. I wonder if the real Emily, the woman I don't know, is hiding somewhere deep inside."Sweet bleeding Jesus, you are feisty when you get angry!" She laughs, staring up at Dominic regaining her sick humor.Dominic leans into her, somehow totally calm, "I will only ask you once again, release Dr. Mansfield."Laughter erupts again and she cranes her neck, look

Chapter 57: Reinforcements

I don't know what to say so I say nothing for a while; letting his words linger in my thoughts as my fingers run along large, hard knuckles. It is a Warrior's hand-but he is not a Warrior, not at this moment. He is my supporter, my friend and my husband. Everything else is secondary. Only the lives of the Seraph Realm come before either of us. Which brings me back to my original thought, so I turn to Pastor, "We must do everything we can to keep Emily alive."He nods slightly, "Agreed.""What's the next step?" I ask."We must receive approval from the Seraph Council.""Approval? For what?"Pastor steps away, rubbing his palms together, "For permission..." he pauses and locks eyes with me, "to involve the angel Michael."Gulp."Whoa, whoa, whoa...do you mean, THE Archangel Michael?""He is the most powerful of all the Seraph Kingdom. It is the only way to destroy Zull. For good.""Oh my God..." I whisper under my breath, grasping Dominic's fingers a little harder.Pastor notic

Chapter 58: Under The Influcence

But he doesn't answer; he simply leans down, effortlessly picking me up. He's huge, not Dominic huge, but no match for me. I don't dare struggle too much; the pain only gets worse when I do. "Where are you taking me?" I shout again as loudly as I can, my voice cracking on the last word. He stops suddenly, tugging me tightly and I scream in pain. Heavy footsteps echo to my left and I squint in the dim torchlight, trying to get a better view. Two more Fighters are fiercely approaching and like a trapped animal, I yank my wrists back one last time, trying to free myself as the intense pain takes my breath away."She is ready." One of them says to my captor, his voice gutteral and deep. My mouth goes dry and I try to swallow. I know who he's referring to, I can sense her evil all around me. I keep trying to focus on Dominic but feel nothing-like our connection has been lost, or maybe blocked? I don't have time to analyze it before I'm violently shoved forward by two additional Fig

Chapter 59: Innocent Lives Lost

Pastor eyes go past me to Zack before looking up at Skylar, who's watching us from a few feet away. It's obvious he's considering what to say me, every line in his face showing indecision. I take another sip, getting nervous with each second and he rubs a hand over the balding spot on his head."What are you hiding?" I ask reluctantly. Jesus, do I even want to know?"We had to be sure." Pastor's voice is low and steady. "Be sure?" I tilt my head, "Of what?"He squeezes his lids shut like he's in physical pain before finally looking over to me, "Gideon returned an hour ago." "Yeah, so?" I ask abruptly, remembering he was supposed to bring back Dr. Mansfield's husband and son. "Oh, wait, yes-Peter and Jason. "Where are they?"Zack shakes his head and I put my cup down on the pew and wait. A few seconds go by like hours and I can no longer stand it."Zack! What?!" I blurt out."Katie," he reaches for my hand, "they're both dead."I shake my head, not wanting to believe it so I

Chapter 60: Purification

A quiet stir from behind pulls my attention away and I look back. Skylar and Victoria are walking toward us, their expressions both serious yet calm as Pastor immediately goes into action, placing white cloaks over each of them. Zack moves closer, facing Victoria and I watch their eyes meet. Victoria stares approvingly up at my brother and he touches her cheek"You are a sight for very sore eyes." his voice kind and soft as they walk over to the trough of holy water. I glance over to Skylar who is standing very still as he watches them, his face a blank mask, no doubt hiding strong feelings. Pastor moves toward him, a white cloth draped over his forearm and he whispers something in Skylar's ear. He gives him a slight nod as they join Zack and Victoria at the trough. Once again, Pastor quietly begins a prayer while the yellow glow of candlelight flickers along the stone behind them. Another minute goes by before Pastor raises his head, glancing at each one of us."It is time to go,"
