"My Queen, no one has heard from Talia or the men in two days; should we send more men to find them?" Elena's advisor inquired. Queen Elena had told them that Talia and her men were on a surveying mission, so it was a surprise that they hadn't arrived by now, which made Queen Elena worried that something had gone wrong with their true mission. "No need for that, Belinda; I'm sure Talia and her men are safe and will return to us soon." Queen Elena said in a calm tone to assuage the advisors' concerns, but she was far from calm; Talia should have returned by now, or did the girl or lycan manage to overpower her? But that would be impossible because Talia was a very experienced and powerful witch and a mere beginner witch or no name lycan of a dead race couldn't have gotten the upper hand over Talia. Queen Elena pondered, but she was interrupted when a guard rushed in. "My Queen, My Queen, a few of the soldiers have returned, but they are all badly injured, and captain Talia isn't with
Outside the territory of the Red-moon pack… Adrian walked into the cabin after going hunting to collect his thoughts; he knew from the start that they had to accept the Queen's offer because their little cabin wasn't safe enough to keep the people after them away; if they were at the western castle, they would surely be protected, and he wanted to make sure Serena was safe, even if it meant accepting help from a royal, seeing as she is his main priority now. The cabin was as silent as a graveyard, which made him wonder where Serena was. So he dragged his tired body to the kitchen, put the dead rabbit in the sink, and went in search of Serena. He found her in her bedroom, sitting by the square window staring into the forest, looking lost in thought. So Adrian took small steps towards her so as not to startle her, and when he got to where she was sitting, he put his hands on her shoulders to gain her attention, Serena turned to Adrian with a small smile on her face and kissed the hand
"Stand down! They are the Queen's special guests." The men obeyed Prince Stephen's command to move away from the group, dispersing in different directions as he turned to face Serena and Adrian with an apologetic smile."Sorry about that; it's a standard procedure for anyone who uses transportation magic to visit the North to go through a verification process before being admitted to the castle." "It's okay, we understand," Serena said as she watched the guards leave. A few of them were still staring at them, wondering who they were because the Queen had personally accompanied them. But Queen Ella knew this would happen, so she had instructed them to wear hooded cloaks before they arrived to avoid attracting unwanted attention,– particularly on Serena, who looks exactly like the late Queen Tiara, which Serena and Adrian had no qualms about because if someone did recognize Serena, it would cause a lot of problems. "Welcome to my region; the cottage isn't ready yet, so you'll be staying
Serena let Adrian kiss her as he ran his hands through her hair and his other hand dug into her waist, a soft moan made its way of of her lips earning a growl from Adrian. Serena pleased her hands on his shoulder, her mind became fuzzy, he was just kissing her and her body was on edge.Serena's hands made its way to his hair running her hands through his silky soft hair, his mouth left her lips as he placed kisses along her jaw to the sensitive spot below her neck just above his mark."You know little one you haven't placed your mark on me yet" Adrian said huskily as he stared into her eyes, "how does that work" Serena asked feeling shy under his gaze as she ran her hands down his exposed chest, feeling the taut muscle."You just have to extend your fangs and bite into any part of my neck, or if you prefer somewhere else I don't mind" Adrian said as he rested his head on the headboard watching her with pure desire in his eyes. Serena did as she was told and her fangs were out, she star
"If you hurt him, I will kill you myself" Serena said as she muttered a light spell which conjured up a ball of light, Serena threw it in his direction hitting him on the shoulder, Thorne let out a pain cry as he stared at Serena in rage,"I have had enough of your insolence" Torne said as Serena felt the darkness wrapping around her neck cutting off her sir supply."Goodbye by child" Thorne ssid with an evil smile on his face, that w* the last thing Serena saw before the darkness took over.Serena woke up screaming and grasping for air, she was drenched in cold sweat , her mind filled with pain and the events from the dream came rushing back, she was shaking as tears fell down her eyes, tears she didn't even notice because of the pain she was feeling, the dream felt so real.As her breathing slowed down she felt strong arms wrap around her, her body tensed a little but when she inhaled his scent she knew who it was, she let him pull her into him as his hands ran through her hair."Lit
Somewhere in Mount Zero.....Scientists were moving from place to place performing different test growls coming from the dark cages placed on the side of the room, all the scientists were in presently."The new subjects aren't as promising as the last alba Lycan, he was the last alpha of their kind and when he escaped and destroyed most of our research, now Thorne isn't as involved in the experiments because the council is getting suspicious of him" one of the scientists said as he drew the blood of the weakened male hybrid alba Lycan."We were lucky to have found these two after the Alpha had escaped destroying everything we built, even if they are just betas it was better than nothing" the older scientists said as he placed the sample blood from the male hybrid white lycan moving over to the female one.After withdrawing their blood the two subjects were taking back to their cells, the female lycan had auburn hair which was covered in dirt, her olive coloured skin was also covered i
After their little encounter with Stephen and his men, Adrian and Serena didn't leave their rooms again, So Serena had their meals brought up to their room. When her aunt came back Serena was going to have a meeting with her about Stephen's attitude against her mate Adrian she thought as she looked up catching Adrian watching her."What" Serena asked with a smile."Just staring at my beautiful mate nothing wrong with that" Adrian responded with a smirk forming on his handsome face. "Stop staring, it's considered rude Adrian" Serena said playfully."Then I might be the rudest man on earth because I will do anything to stare at your beautiful face, my little hybrid mate," Adrian said, causing a blush to rise up on Serena's face. "Stop acting corny Adrian and eat your food" Serena said as Adrian laughed at her flustered reaction."Now there is the blush I love so much," Adrian teased, causing Serena to throw a pillow in his direction.But a knock from the door gained their attention as
Adrian and Tyler faced off on the training ground of the castle where everyone had already gathered to watch, it was still bright out so there were able to fight with ease.Tyler threw off his black cloak and revealed what he was wearing under a black tunic and long tight fitting tan pants, bound together with a rope at his waist. His face was scrunched up in anger. He slowly drew a long sword from his belt slowly, the blade made a hissing whisper as it was removed from the sheathe. All the while, Adrian was holding Tyler firmly in his gaze.Adrian was wearing a blue sleeveless shirt and loose fitting black pants. on each hand Adrian had small daggers that shined bright under the light of the sky. Adrian bent down and stretched his back. He turned his neck from left to right and popping it with a series of clicks in rapid succession. Then, he proceeded to do the same with the rest of his body as he loosened up the rest of his body.“I am going to teach you a lesson, you messed
