Lowena's jaw dropped in awe. The nymphs who surrounded them were gorgeous, stunning, voluptuous specimens of women. Quickly, Lowena stepped back as one approached Kage, giggling in a lustful, drunken haze. "Come back, we miss you, Kage!" she entreated. "Not now," Kage grunted, shoving her back. Instantly, the nymph's mood changed. Pressing her tongue to her cheek, she stomped off. "You too?" Lowena commented, gesturing between Kage and Caspian. "Y-look," Kage stammered. "You wouldn't understand, but drinking a Lycan's blood, when in heat, especially as powerful as you are, can have side effects on the ones doing the withdrawal. "The lust both Caspian and I felt was beyond intoxicating, beyond drinking blood even," Kage explained, eyes locked onto Lowena's, an intensity growing between them. "If that s how you've been feeling, it's a wonder you're still a virgin," he whispered, leaning down, planting a hot, wet kiss on her lips. Lowena's grip on Aiyanna'
"How powerful am I exactly?" Lowena asked her mother. "I don't know," Iliana confessed. "My powers came when I least expected them. I ran as fast as possible when I realized what had happened." Aiyana helped Iliana get dressed in her celebration garbs. Gerald and Eli went with the pack to bring meat for the party. In only two nights, Lowena had to decide what to do. Now, more than ever, she was clueless. "What happened?" Lowena pressed. Iliana sighed, a look of horror briefly showing in her eyes, "They were going to kill you, stab me in the womb with a bewitched blade. They told me it would heal my uterus so I could have children later in life, just not then." Aiyana paused but continued to help Iliana dress herself. Iliana had Lowena at a young age and had never had children since, so her body looked like she had never had children. In a similar red fox bra top and slightly longer skirt, she could be mistaken for Lowena's sister instead of her mother. "What about my
"Lowena? Lowena?" Muffled voices began echoing in Lowena's room. "Sweetheart, can you hear me?" the older woman's voice began to come into focus. Lowena blinked the sleep away from her groggy eyes. The two blurred characters began to take shape, and her eyes went wild in shock when she realized who was in front of her, which quickly turned to anger. "Mom? Dad?" Lowena hesitated. "Yes, we were going to be here sooner-" "How dare you!" Lowena began ranting, "I had no idea who I was! I had no idea what was happening to me! How come you didn't tell me? Why would you have me come here when I needed you the most? Why bother coming now?" "We meant to be here sooner, but it was difficult to get what we needed in time for your birthday," her father, Gerald, answered. "Get me something?" Lowena snipped, "How about telling me I'm a werewolf and a witch? Or that I was so scared last night, I thought I was going to die with that voice in my head?! My body is going through changes t
"Very beautiful," a soft female voice hummed in Lowena's mind, causing her to freeze. Who are you? How are you in my head? Lowena thought. Suddenly, a rush of adrenaline flooded over her. The more she tried to breathe, the more difficult it became. Her body began returning to human as she started trembling and shivering from how weak she was becoming. It felt as though darkness was consuming her from the inside out. The darkness began to take her sight and sense of touch. Everything around her grew eerie and black. "S-stop!" Lowena screamed, her voice hurting the betas. Lowena's knees caved in as she braced herself on her palms. Melissandra knelt, pressing her hand to the small of Lowena's back. Her eyes were glowing an intense fuchsia. Suddenly, an unforeseen force slammed Melissandra back into the wall. "Ugh!" she groaned, spitting black gunk from her mouth, "Bite her!" "What?" Kage questioned, aiding Melissandra to her feet, "There's something in her! I can't draw i
"What were you thinking?" Eli barked, "I locked you in this room for a reason, Lowena. You need to remain pure until your birthday. You're too important." Lowena rubbed her aching temples, groaning as he continued to ramble on. He's acting more like her father than a potential mate. When she returned yesterday, Eli was sitting on the bed in her room, angry and upset about her leaving. He was still there when she awoke, ensuring she didn't go again. "Look," Lowena sighed, "Nothing happened. King Caspian eased the burning hot lava flowing through my veins." "You need to" "Remain a virgin until my birthday two nights from now," Lowena interrupted, "I know. Arcana informed me of my mother's side and my father's side. The fact that a hybrid like me is rare, and I can choose to marry whoever I choose, not you. I choose." Eli's jaw clenched, and his fists tightened, "Tread carefully, Lowena." "What if I don't?" Lowena taunted. If they choose me, I can select Kage, Caspian, Arcan
Caspian went down between Lowena's splayed legs and licked her most intimate area. Lowena's hands grabbed at the sheet, slicing and tearing into it with her werewolf strength. Wherever his tongue went, she couldn't help but match his rhythm. Her body wanted him, ached for him. She had never felt such desires before. Caspian sneakily slid his fingers inside her tight body, her legs wrapped around his neck. He placed his other hand upon her abdomen in the hope of easing the heat within her. Absorbing it wouldn't be the best idea, but she needed to remain a virgin until her birthday. The way her insides wrapped around his fingers made his erection grow; slowly, he felt the tension in her body ease. "Fuck!" Lowena moaned. Lowena felt a familiar, enticing burn that began to build deep inside her. The warmth of Caspian's hand seemed to aid in its build-up as she felt herself climax faster than she ever had before. Caspian pulled back from Lowena, resisting his urge to devour her v
"I'll take you back," Kage offered. "Why don't I, since you brought her out here in the first place?" Caspian reasoned. "Why don't you both walk back with me?" Lowena suggested. Kage and Caspian scoffed, refusing to answer. Instead, they folded their arms over their chests, acting like sad schoolboys. "Fine, you stay here; I'll walk back alone," Lowena sighed over their antics. Kage and Caspian shook their heads, pacing between each other and watching Lowena walk away. At the same time, they both rushed after her, escorting her back to the party. After an awkward, short walk, they were all surrounded by happily drunk people. Ethica boldly approached the three of them, firmly holding her chalice. Lowena's cheeks blushed red, remembering the kiss they shared the night before. "Lowena, there you are," Ethica greete. "King, Caspian, King Kage." Both dropped their jaws in awe as if in the presence of royalty of an even higher status than their own. Ethica took advant
Lowena stomped down the stairs, out the double doors, and into the celebration. At this point, she didn't want anything to do with either of them. Now wasn't the time for her to act rationally; it was time she stepped out of her shell. The loud drums echoed in her mind as she approached one of the bonfires. The heat from the flames wasn't scorching but relaxing, controlled even. "There you are," a seductive young woman whispered in Lowena's ear. Lowena turned, eyes widening in surprise to see the two women she had danced with the previous night before her once more, offering the bat chalice. She gladly accepted, drinking a mouthful of the thick copper liquid. It warmed every inch as it crept down her stomach. Lowena licked her lips, hungry, before looking back at both the girls. "What are your names?" Lowena asked. "Celeste," the shorter woman introduced. "Lucinda," the taller, slender one greeted. "I'm Lowena." The girls didn't respond but drank from the chalic
Lowena walked back with Caspian, the rain easing til the sun came out to play. "It's amazing how you can do that," she admired. "It is mother nature; us fairies are bound to her in one way or another. Many are known to you as mythical creatures, such as the phoenix, griffins, and sirens. You may have seen them at the celebration last night," he explained. Lowena's cheeks blushed, and she confirmed, "There were these two women I first met; they looked almost like bats." "Those are the vampires. They have the most allure to them; they are the most predatorial. Their beauty enchants you, draws you in under their spell, and makes killing easy. They release a venom, similar to snakes than bats, that relaxes the prey, a euphoric opium if you will. "Wow," she hushed, "And the girls in the bird-like costumes? The ones that had scales?" Caspian chuckled, astonished by her curiosity, "You have your serpents, nymphs, mermaids. All can be fairies or witches; it depends on whether th
