KENZIE “It’s a bit different with me favoring the witch side over the shifter side. Everything in our world has balance. My strong magic makes for a weakened wolf side. It’s more like an instinct in the back of my mind. Both my magic and wolf would try to push me towards you growing up once they both surfaced at the same time. I know why now, but it was different back then. The instinctual side is what is the most different. For example, he always wants to be in your presence. If I were to give that part full control, we would never leave the bedroom. It’s not like another spirit, but just a more primal part of myself. Does that make sense?” he asked. I nodded and took a long drink of coffee. “Will it be that way with me? What if she hates me because she doesn’t know me?” His hand brushed some hair over my shoulder. “I highly doubt that any creature could truly hate you, Ki. I don’t know what it’ll be like since you’re of the Venscothi blood line. Your magic is very strong though, s
BELLAMY I was excited to show Kenzie off. There was absolutely no way that I could be any prouder to have her as my mate. I did not know what I did right in life, but she was mine, and I would cherish her until my dying breath. I would be a shit mate if I did not worry about the target that she would have on her back by being with me. However, she knew the dangers and still chose to stand beside me. I would honor her choice. There were a couple of acquaintances that would be willing to help her hone her magic, depending on her affinity. I could not wait to see what type of magic she had, but I appreciated her patience while she wanted to ensure that I took care of my prior engagements first. That right there showed that she was the right woman to stand beside me. My work really was never ending. My role was easiest thought about in terms of an Alpha of the witches that I worked with. It was my duty to guide and support them. I was also responsible for weeding out and dealing with
BELLAMY “Damn, Ki. You were fantastic. See? You were made for this. You took each situation and offered your promise to them.” Luca cleared his throat. “Well, that was awkward,” he sing-songed. Kenzie was the one that growled this time. “You’re a cockblocker,” she snapped. “Tell me how you really feel, sis.” Luca crossed his arms and smirked, completely unaffected by her irritation. She glared at him for a few more moments before she laughed. Goddess, I loved the sound of her laughter. It always brought a smile to my face. “You’re a dork,” she said, flipping her hair over her shoulder. “We’re heading back to the castle really quick. Want to come?” He agreed to come, so I opened a portal. It really was a convenient way to travel. I wanted to teach Kenzie how to do it because she would need to know how to regardless with how many different places we had to go. Not all witches could do it, but us being mates would allow for her to have access to some of my magic regardless of dista
KENZIE I was fascinated as I watched Bellamy transform into a stunning white wolf. I had never seen a wolf more handsome than him before. He was nearly as tall as I was, and I was not too short. I was about 5’7. Thankfully, I took after Papa a bit more on the height. I loved Mom, but I was thoroughly happy once I surpassed her height. There were black markings around his paws, almost like socks, and black tipped his ears. His eyes, though, were a mesmerizing green, just like when his magic shone through. He stalked towards me like I was his prey, and by heavens, I wanted to be. “You’re amazing,” I breathed out as I took him in from tip to tail. I ran my hands over his incredibly soft fur. It felt like I was petting a cloud. He pushed against my body, catching me off-guard. I fell to the side, but his legs broke my fall, cradling me until I landed softly against the ground. “It’s not nice to knock a helpless mate to the ground,” I said, pouting. He just snorted, not believing me
BELLAMY Luca set the last box down in one of the spare offices. He had just got back from packing up Kenzie’s studio. “Dude, what the hell did she do to them? They looked like they got scolded by the gods themselves,” Luca said with his eyebrows in his hairline. I tossed him a beer and laughed. That was a great way of explaining it. I watched all their faces as Kenzie spoke. She reminded me so much of Aunty in that moment which I believed they all finally saw. What she said made me fall even deeper in love with her. She embraced her place in our world without hesitation. I heard the conviction in her voice, and I knew that she would burn the world down if need be in order to protect our people. “They got scolded by Emma Jr. You know as well as I do the lengths she’d go to if someone disrespected her family or friends.” Luca winced at that because he knew it better than I did. He was her child after all. “What did they disrespect this time?” Luca sighed and ran his fingers throug
BELLAMY Kenzie moaned as her arousal perfumed around us. I inhaled deeply and let out a growl at the delicious aroma. I dropped to my knees in front of her and trailed kisses from her stomach to her waist. I wanted to show her exactly what she meant to me. Kenzie was beginning to love me, so I did not want to pressure her by telling her too soon that I loved her. That I had loved her for years. However, I could show her, and that was something I would certainly do. I waved my hand towards the elevator and a wall appeared in front of it. I did not want Luca to interrupt this because he tended to seriously cockblock us. Nothing would stop this until her body was thoroughly sated. My teeth grabbed the top front of her panties and pulled them down without breaking eye contact with her. “That’s hot,” she stated. Oh, little mate, you had not begun to know just how hot I planned to make things. She stepped out of her panties, and I flung them into the open window of my car. Yes, I want
BELLAMY Tonight, I would be officially introducing Kenzie as my mate. The auction was a big to-do every year. It was always staggered so that those who were part of our world would be there at six while the humans would arrive at eight. Integrating within the human world was important, but we also wanted to have something for just us as well. There were always some items to auction off that were magical, so we needed to keep it away from the humans. Some humans knew about us. It allowed us to place our people among the community at large. Other than that, the rest were fairly ignorant just like we needed them to be. The way that Kenzie stood up to her entire family solidified even further that she belonged next to me. It saddened me that she was raised like a prisoner, and I had never seen it. I simply thought she was just reclusive. She thrived in the little bit of the world that she had seen of the past few days. I wanted to show her the freedom that she deserved, and tonight w
BELLAMY Kenzie looked towards our group of guys and smiled at them before turning back to me. “You said that we could talk to Jeremy about the projects,” she pointed out smoothly. I was impressed with how well Kenzie improvised. She did not even show Tara animosity although Tara had encroached upon her mate. Most shifters would have made a scene and ripped Tara’s face off. I supposed I should not have expected any less from her. She tended to surprise me at every corner. “Of course, gorgeous. If you would excuse us, Tara,” I said politely. Once we were out of hearing range, I smirked down at her. “Well played, Ki.” She laughed and kissed my cheek as we walked. “You should be happy. I refrained from ripping her throat out when she looked at you with lust in her eyes,” she said, her eyes sparkling with amusement. I leaned down and nipped her neck. “Keep talking like that, and we’ll never make it to the actual auction.” Her eyes flashed lilac, and my smirk reformed. I loved how h
