If I weren’t already a vampire and dead, I would swear that I was dead. I felt like death warmed over. I turned over to stare at the ceiling. I winced when I did this. My whole body hurt; I think I found muscles I had no idea I had. I decided that sleep was still more important, but as I started to doze back off, I felt the bed dip down. I debated about telling whoever it was to get the fuck off my bed, but as the sparks coursed through me, I knew who it was. A smile spread across my face as I felt a kiss pressed to my temple. “I know you're awake, my little darkling.” Tiernan’s gravelly voice whispered in my ear. Hearing his voice created a new feeling as I squeezed my legs together. I rolled over, which caused me to wince, and a small whine escaped my lips, but I was determined to bury myself in his chest. I took a deep breath and let his scent sink into me as I began to slip back into dreamland. Just as sleep was creeping back into my stomach reminded me that I hadn’t
I had finally found her again. It had been years, and she had changed a little since the last time I saw her. I knew there was something special about her the first time I saw her; I didn’t know what that was. I was surprised when I saw her teleport for the first time, but that wasn’t that special regarding vampire abilities. She had the typical vampire abilities like super speed and hearing, but the other abilities caught my interest. There had been rumours for a few years about a vampire that couldn’t be killed. I had heard of it before, but that vampire had eventually been killed, and that had been a few thousand years before I was born. I had read about it in one of the only books I found. I witnessed her “death” once and waited but didn’t see her again for a week. I was travelling through France when I saw her sitting at a table outside a cafe. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me until someone said her name. I knew right then that the rumours were true. Of cours
My office is quiet, which is weird, considering everyone is present now. Cahir, Riordan, Kyran, Rowan, Kathal, dad, grandfather, Kynessie, Taylania, Suravi, Haven, mom, grandmother, great-grandmother, and Aisling. Rowan has been staring at Aisling since she walked in and sat down. She has not once looked at him. I half expected her to walk in and reject him, but it is possible that what Kathal and Kynessie told her made her think about her actions. My little darkling is leaning against me as we sit in my office chair. “I’m sorry about everything Aisling.” Rowan says. I wasn’t expecting him to be the first to say anything, but it was a good thing it was him. Aisling still won’t look at him. My little sister is so fucking stubborn. She inherited that trait from our mother, who is the same way. It drives Dad crazy. “I should have never taken that assignment.” Rowan tells her. “That means you would have had to be around me when I came of age and then pretended that I am not
I felt like I was going to throw up. Taylania had told us a story that caused me to laugh more than I should have. I was hyped when Luna Seara announced that we were going to town. We had been stuck in the packhouse for a few days, and I was itching to get outside. I had asked if she had told Tiernan about our shopping trip, but all I got for an answer was a smile. I am damn positive that she didn’t tell him or anyone else. Luna Seara and Luna Regina were helping me plan my luna ceremony. I was thankful they were helping me since I had no idea what a Luna ceremony entails. Luna Seara, Tiernan’s mother, and Luna Regina, Tiernan’s grandmother, have taken me under their wing. Both women have been showing me what being a Luna entails. A lot goes into being a Luna, but it is nothing I can’t handle. I was raised to be the next vampire queen. Compared to that, being a Luna is easy. Carlotta even came with us. I was surprised she came. She is still able to get around damn well.
I was surprised when I woke up this morning, and Caturix was still asleep. I knew he wanted his turn with Kynessie, but I didn’t think he would take over in the middle. I didn’t even try and right him. She is his mate, too, so he has every right to mate with her just as I do. I did try telling him to be more gentle, but he didn’t listen. I was afraid he would hurt her, but I shit up when she started begging for his knot. I groaned when I felt my cock slip through her cervix as our knot took hold. If she weren’t already carrying my pup, she would be now. (I knotted her good. I released my load straight into her womb.-Caturix) (I know, but I worry about her carrying our pup with all the shit going on.-Me) (We will protect her and our pup. Besides, mate is probably more dangerous when she is pissed off than we are.-Caturix) I chuckle when he says this. He is right, he may have been able to calm her down the day we found Jin, but she still scared the hell out of us when we f
The meeting with the guys went well this morning. I was surprised to see my father, grandfather, Essex, and Gavrill there when I walked in. I didn’t intend to keep them out of the loop, but I wanted to talk with Cahir, Riordan, Kyran, Kathal, Rowan, and Cyllian before approaching them with my suspicions. I explained this to them, and they weren’t mad. “I understand why you wanted to wait, but let us help. This is my daughter we are talking about. If what you say is true, then someone within my kingdom and, dare say, a past family member made that promise; even if that person was lying to Ghaazi, he took it at face value. Which means I need to have talk with a few of my relatives to see what they might know.” Gavrill points out. “This fucker isn’t laying one hand on my sister. He will die before that happens.” Essex says. “Do you know what abilities that Kynessie possesses?” I ask. I am asking without giving her abilities away. I will not be the one to break her trust. G
I knew that Tiernan had Leslie thrown in the dungeon. She had gone after me once before during training along with two others, but I had put all three in their place. I had broken her arm and leg that day, and I honestly thought that she had gotten the point, but it appears that she is either that obsessed with Tiernan or plain stupid. She decided that she would try to attack me in her lycan form. I am unsure if they think I am vulnerable since I can’t shift, but after yesterday I am seriously hoping they realize that it doesn’t matter what form they are in because I can still kick their asses. Everyone was training, and it was a day that we were only training in human form. Our training was going well until fucking Leslie decided that she was going to shift and try to take me out. I wasn’t paying attention since I was helping Kathal show a few of the other others some moves. I heard someone yell and turned around to see Leslie lunging at me. I squatted down as she flew over m
I stayed in Baton Rouge since I knew New Orleans was closer to the pack. I watched Kynessie getting as close as possible until the Lycan Alpha tightened the pack's borders. I had learned all the patrol's time changes and patterns, but they had changed it, and now the changes happened whenever. It had happened right before Kynessie’s Luna ceremony. I knew they were going to make her part of the pack. I was surprised that he had already marked her, meaning they were fully mated. I hadn’t told Ghaazi they were fully mated, and Tiernan had marked her. I knew he was going to lose his shit. I saw it when I was there. The demon blood has been poisoning his lycan for years. At first, I thought it was killing his lycan, but then I realised it was killing him, and his lycan was turning feral. When that happens, he will have to be killed. I know who will be sent to do that, but Tiernan may ask someone else since he is close to Jin. I knew sooner or later that his lycan would complete
