FORBIDDEN BLOOM 17 — TOO LATE
THE JESTERMinutes after she leaves, the scent of her—lavender— and the heat of her anger lingers in the air. My legs stay rooted to the spot, unwilling to move lest I miss it. A sadistic part of me would rather stew in her anger than miss any part of her at all. I just…I wish there was a better way to make her understand. Even though the bulk of my plans have been dealt with, there is still a lot more to cover. For example: the neighboring packs who are allies of Ferdinand.The moment they catch wind of the recent development, there will be unrest. I can’t risk bloodshed when she is still in this place and a lot of them recognize her as his Luna. Even the word tastes like something putrid in my thoughts alone. Thanks to that meatloaf of an alpha.A chilling presence walks in. I know at once who it is.“Could you be any more obvious?” I ask, unable to hide my irritation. Kaelen leans on the door, his shadow stretching on the floor toward my feet. “I just saw your damsel. Did
FORBIDDEN BLOOM 16 — ONE MORE LIE
KAELITH Darkness stares back at me from where I lay on the cold sheets in my room, staring at the ceiling. Next to me, Diandra is fast asleep, soft snores from her mouth filling the gap of silence.After we left the men in the throne room, we cooped up in my room while Diandra recounted stories of her time at her pack. The Nightshade pack. As I watch her sleep, she does not look like one who’s been at the throes of death before. Her resilience at how she’s managed to beat the odds despite everything amazes me. It has me wondering:Is the worst over for me? It doesn’t feel like it is. This victory feels too easy. It feels like the moment I decide to bask in my newfound freedom, something or someone will pull the rug out from under me. And there’ll be a greater price to pay for that. I refuse to let myself be carried away. The maids have earlier gone to their quarters. Even though it’s the middle of the night, the palace still feels completely void.Slipping out from under th
FORBIDDEN BLOOM 15 — FALL OF A TYRANT
KAELITHThe sight of Xena wielding a knife against her brother’s throat throws me off balance. A billion thoughts and her betrayal will never cross my mind. “Is this fear I smell?” She asks in a taunting voice that rings out clear and loud to warn off the guards who stand rigid with tension. “Take your hands off her.”He doesn’t move at first. The malice etched into his features outshines the will to listen. Even with his life on the line. Xena moves her hand to the side by a fraction which causes him to wince. It takes a few seconds before his clawed fingers free my face and when he does, relief buckles my knees so hard I sink to the floor.My body rocks with so much fear it chokes my throat, stealing every ounce of courage I thought I had.“What are you doing, Xena? You are desecrating the throne room by doing this to your Alpha.” She flashes a sardonic smile to the bald-headed man who’s just spoken. “I think curtailing the tyrant is more fitting for this.” Her wild eyes trac
FORBIDDEN BLOOM 14 — KILL THE UNGRATEFUL TRAITOR
KAELITHJudgement wasn’t passed immediately. I was thrown straight into the dungeon on the Alpha’s orders.It’s been almost a week or so. I’ve lost count. As I sit in this dark, smelly place, the cold fingers of dread wraps around my heart. What will become of me now? Will Ferdinand decide he’s had enough of chewing and choose to spit me out?What kind of death awaits me?My answer comes almost immediately. Doors clang open, footsteps echo through the air until a guard stops in front of my cell. “You have a hearing before the royal council. Now.”I nod, gathering the last bits of my shriveling pride to manage a bold front. Inside, I am crumbling like a boat dashed against rocks. Only Amari had visited me since my sentence. She’d come bearing news from Jay and I’d sent her back before she could say a word. “What do you have to say for yourself?” A bald head man speaks, drawing me back from the past. His face bears nothing but contempt for me. The council never liked me when I
FORBIDDEN BLOOM 13 — A LITTLE MORE TIME
THE JESTERThey say some victories cost more than defeat. Nothing has ever sounded more right than in this one single moment. ‘Before I go, are there any other truths you’d like to tell me?’Like a cowardly dog, I tucked my tail in and ran. Despite all the common sense pushing me to open up to her, I shut her out when she only needed the truth.If only it’s that simple. I chuckle, the sound harsh to my hearing, loud in the silence that echoes back to me. After putting enough distance between us, I risk a glimpse at the place where she stood last, finding it empty.She will probably hate me for as long as she can. And I will have it no other way.Or is there another way?That’s when my composure cracks, bringing down with it the restraint I’ve fought hard to keep.I throw my gaze into the sky where the dawn has begun to crack through, chasing away the night but never my gloom. I lean against a Redwood tree, whispering a desperate plea to the Moon Goddess for her help.I’ve faced
FORBIDDEN BLOOM 12 — MYSTERY OF THE RED HAT
KAELITH I am the the jester’s fated mate. Isn’t that comical? Mate to an Alpha and to a clown. The former being my abductor and my nightmare made manifest. The latter being…what is he even? A liar. For all the deceptions and half truths. My hand falls to my side and sensing my emotion, he releases his hold on me. Almost immediately, anger consumes me whole. Without a single thought, I swing my hand toward his fucking perfect face. Hard. He barely flinches. There is barely a wince to crack the calm mask he has on, as the force makes his head snap to the side. “I’m nobody’s mate!” In fact the word makes my skin crawl with invisible webs. It makes me think of being locked in a cellar and left to rot, only being summoned when the time comes to be released into like a trash can. “I expected that. Anyone who’s been through what you’ve been through will reject it in a heartbeat.” “And I will. I don’t want you or anyone else. Where were you when Ferdinand snatched me f
FORBIDDEN BLOOM SACRIFICE FOR THE ALPHA TWINS
ONE — A PURE VIRGIN OMEGADIANDRAI collapsed back on the bed with a soft moan, panting as the last waves of my climax ebbed away. My fingers moved between my legs at a fast pace. “One last time,” I said to myself as I grabbed the vibrator I snatched during my forbidden visit to the human world tw
FORBIDDEN BLOOM 6 — HITTING THE MARK
VANESSANyra’s ultimatum still echoed in my head the next day; seven nights to kill the King. My belongings weren’t much. Just a few dresses and shoes I’d snagged from a store on my way. By the time evening came, I found myself walking alongside several noble guests invited for a festival in the
FORBIDDEN BLOOM 5 — THE ULTIMATUM
VANESSAPatting the small dagger still pressed into the nook of my inner thighs, I watched him dash out the door. There was nothing more frustrating than watching an unfinished business still breathe. “Wait for me,” I mimicked Leonidas, scoffing. “In your dreams.”What if the fire alarm was a ruse
FORBIDDEN BLOOM 1 — TO FIND THE MARK
VANESSAThey nicknamed him the Great Khal. Maybe it was because he lumbered like a giant bull or because he was as aggressive as one. Whatever the reason, I did not care.“Open the gates!” A man yelled from below the balcony where I stood with a glass of wine in my hand, watching distinguished gues
