All Chapters of The Heartless Hybrid Queen: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Aurora detaches herself from me and makes her way over to Adrian and Dimitri. I know having those two as her guards is the only way she would feel comfortable with having guards in the first place. I know it was the right decision, but the beast inside me is raging with jealousy as I watch her hug them both in turn.I’ll just have to keep reminding myself that if I want her to have guards they need to be people she can trust, and she obviously trusts these two.I clear my throat loudly and all three of them turn to look at me. “So, you have accepted my request?” Adrian nods, and Dimitri grins widely.“Yeah, well, your man Seth mentioned a pay raise, a huge bedroom with a balcony, and something about a twenty-four-hour maid and food service… what was there not to accept, really?” Adrian elbows Dimitri in the ribs and Aurora giggles. Goddess fuck, I’m going to have to keep these idiots around forever. Or, until I figure out how to make Aurora giggle like that.“Yes, those are some perks

I’m entangled in blankets and in Samael’s arms, enjoying this time with my mate when a knock on the bedroom door interrupts us. Samael is a blur as he runs to open it. Two vampires in red and black uniforms – the colours I’ve noticed all the workers in the castle wear – are on the other side of the door and present Samael with a large box and a glass vase full of flowers.Once he thanks them and closes the door, he returns to me, carrying the deliveries. “These are for you my love,” he says sweetly, handing me the vase; the glass work is beautiful; intricate floral designs make it almost as lovely as the flowers it holds. Roses, baby’s breath, snowdrops, and poinsettias are overflowing out of the vase, the aroma coming off them is alluring. I inhale the scent of the flowers deeply, and smile at my wonderful mate.“Thank you Sam,” I say, using his nickname again. I place the vase on the bedside table and throw my arms around him. “No one has ever gotten me flowers before, I love them!”

I motion to Soleil that I want to stop, and we make our way off the dancefloor. “Where’s Samael?” I ask Dimitri immediately.“He left. Former king came, something about… something.” He reaches out for Soleil, “Come here you” he mutters, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close.“His father came by, said he needed to discuss something to do with the council meeting tomorrow,” Adrian says, and I gratefully turn away from Dimitri and Soleil who are getting more and more explicit, to face Adrian and Adelaide.“Oh,” I wonder what was so important.The five of us end up chatting for a little while, and I realize I am growing extremely fond of this new little family I’ve discovered. Adelaide soon gets pulled away by some witches from her coven, and Dimitri begins trying to convince Adrian to go in on a boat with him once they get their signing bonuses. A boat? I look at Soleil questioningly. “He likes to fish,” she explains. Oh, that makes sense.As the two men continue argu

I exit the portal with Aurora, and immediately pull her to me, claiming her lips with mine. She moans into my mouth, and I feel my cock straining against my pants, her little noises make me crazy, and I lift her up, bringing her to sit in one of the armchairs in front of the fire.She sinks into the plush material with a relaxing sigh and I leave her for a moment to fill a bowl with warm water from the sink in the bathing room and retrieve a soft hand towel from the closet. I lay the bowl on the floor and kneel before her. She looks down at me while I begin removing her shoes, which I know have caused her some discomfort throughout the night.“There should be some clothes for you in the closet. I had a new wardrobe ordered for you, but we can go shopping to pick out things you actually want as soon as possible,” I inform her, hoping the clothes Lilith, Rhiannon, and Briannon picked out are to Aurora’s tastes.“I’m sure they will be fine; I don’t know much about clothes. I’ve always ju

I’ve been a nervous wreck all morning. The council meeting is in the early afternoon. I've spent the last hour with Heidi and Harlow in their new room. They never stop smiling, and it hurts my heart that Lucien’s hold over them kept them from being happy.Samael had to meet with Seth around dawn, so I had breakfast with Adrian and Dimitri, before coming to check in on the girls. My two new guards have not let me leave their sight since Samael left us earlier, they currently occupy positions on either side of Heidi and Harlow’s bedroom door, watching as the girls make me over.A little while after arriving here, I complimented Harlow on her makeup, and ever since I’ve been forced to sit in a chair in front of their mirror as they work products into my hair and apply various powders and creams to my face.“Almost done,” Heidi mutters, while Harlow slides a pale pink gloss across my lips.A few moments later, I’m finally allowed to look up at myself in the mirror. “Holy fucking shit.” I
