XavierThe Vampire King and his thoroughly marked queen stayed inside their apartments for three days before joining their family for a very crucial meeting. Though they spent the time in each other's embrace, he still couldn't get enough of her. He had to keep his hands on her body at all times to reassure himself that she was safe in his arms. Sometimes his touch bordered on desperation.Understanding his actions, Mish let him smother her with love without objections. She knew he had yet to come to terms with him almost losing her. It was not easy to move forward from that experience.When they entered his study by mid morning, his fellow kings and their mates were in the same predicament. Attached to them, their respective ladies sat securely on their laps, powerful arms caging them. Rie rolled her eyes at her sisters but she borrowed deeper into her dragon, sighing contentedly."I take it everyone is well rested?" Esme asked with a grin on her lips, satisfied with the current o
IndaliMonths LaterLying low had taken a toll on her. There were times she was sure she was losing her shit.Anywhere she went, she encountered forces of evil searching for the last druid. Good thing they still believed that she was a HE. Those chauvinistic pigs! Did they really believe that only a man could be gifted such powers?Well, what would you expect from a usurper wannabe. Declaring himself the King of all Kings. As if. His power was inconsequential compared to Esmeralda, the High Priestess, a living goddess. And a badass leader of the Council.Ugh! So was so melancholic today. Feeling the effects of her force estrangement.It was her birthday and no one even knew. She couldn't burden her companion.She ached for her family now more than ever. Last year, she was having a blast. Thrilled that kingdom had finally found its queen. She had never seen Lucas so delighted yet so lost at meeting his Argetlam for the first time.Now, he was happily mated with a baby on the way. How
MishThat night they woke up in each other's arms, Xavier told her. He left nothing out. Though it was brutal, it was necessary. She felt relieved.Finally Uncle Philip was dead and he gave up concrete information to nail down the traitors in the Alliance.The weeks that followed had been surreal.Painstakingly rooting out spies and supporters of the Angel of Darkness.Esmeralda and the kings were mostly gone. Travelling around the supernatural world. Offering protection. Strengthening ties.Staking traitors.It was no fun. But it had to be done.Mish had missed mingling outside their properties. Her music became her solace in her isolation. Though it was bearable since she was sharing it with her sisters and their large family group.Her beloved had recently arrived from another trip and was busy debriefing with the New Council. That could take a while.She went on with her night. Munching on freshly baked fudge brownies while patting her belly thoughtfully. Sighing, she went back in
UzzaThe Fallen Angel Of DeathThe sweet taste of freedom, filling his starved lungs, he chuckled with malice.His plans had gave the Alliance a semblance of peace. A year of respite was enough.Soon their guards would be down then he would attack.The pawns, the spies and traitors he had put in place were weeded out, it gave the Council and the kings' purpose. As well as distraction.And while they were busy, he was building his forces for an invasion.Unrestricted to dwell the Earth's surface until the break of dawn, he visited the territories under his control, recruiting more leverages. Turning brothers against brothers. Sons against fathers. A dissension amongst clans, shifter packs and prides, weak kingdoms and realms.Though the temporary power would be gone by daybreak, he had done enough to secure his future.Only he had to find a way to make it last. Just until he found his remains. He would. Very soon.The druid should be in his possession when that happens. One more push a
The Sisters10 Years AgoThunder and lightning echoed all around them. Skies so heavy and dark, taunting and mocking. They were nervously aware it will rain cats and dogs tonight. A tropical typhoon had just hit the country.A year had passed since they fled their hometown province. Bringing the three of them to her dead mother's friend's door. Still poor as a church mouse but one thing had changed -- they were safe.From sexual assault --yes. However, from financial problems --no. Not yet.Which brought Rie and Anna to their recent problem.Anna Michelle.Her small and frail body was huddled under a huge bulk of worn and tattered blankets. Pained, wheezing breaths were coming out from her congested lungs and she was shivering from high fever, making them worry it was another bout of
XavierThe Vampire KingTwo Years AgoThis was the first time his beloved will see in him pure vampiric form.Her eyes widened but not in fright. The pained expression on her face showed relief."Beloved," she whimpered. He could hear her pained whizzing breaths.His Mish was sick once more. Her face was pasty and she was shivering in Victor's arms."Release her!" The fucker shuddered at the command in his voice. The traitor will be dead before the sun rises."Fuck you, King. You can't do anything to me while she is here." Xavier watched in horror when Victor's fangs graze his Mish's swanlike neck, his venom dripping from it. Lethal and deadly."Give her to me. I will let you go. Just..just rele
Anna MichelleThe autumn breeze had started to fill her room from the open balcony. Summer has officially ended.Mish had always welcomed the fresh air. The colder the better. Standing on the rail, her balcony overlooking the dense forest behind the Lycan mansion, Mish closed her sleepy eyes and breathe in --exhaling slowly, savoring the moment.Even for a short time, giving her peace.It had been a while since she got sick. No fever. No lung infection. Nothing. Just nothing. Her heart felt...broken. Empty. She had all the memories of her childhood. From a sickly child to becoming healthy. Rags to riches. From a scrawny child to blossoming to adulthood. She remembered them all.And cherished the simple life she grew up with. Grateful for everything her sisters had done for her.Yet, often
Anna MichelleTheir day-to-day activities were on hold because of what happened to her sister Rie and their new friend Indali.Some horrible events affected them all. Her security detail was tightened even more. A powerful mix of wolves, vampires, and dragons. She should be afraid since she and Rie were humans. Far from it. They felt secured. All the time.Since she couldn't go out --she didn't mind that much, she doesn't go to clubs or parties nor does she have many friends.Maestro Roberto was instructed by Alexander, her powerful brother-in-law, to conduct her music lessons inside the estate. The teacher readily agreed and well the other professors had no choice. Apparently, Xander's business partner owned major stocks at Juilliard's and entrusted him with the business while his friend was gone.Overall it had been a t
