We walked for miles in complete and utter silence. I could still feel the rage radiating between us like he was waging war on me. I still don’t understand how I was supposed to not say a word when He snapped a childs neck for no reason other than his own jealousy in front of the boys brother. Absolutely Victor should not have made such vulgar remarks about his mate but he didn’t have to pay for it with his life. Nor should the pack have to live under such cruel scrutiny. I looked over at Damon but he continued walking straight ahead pretending not to notice me; however I could feel the regret growing through our connection. He was going to need more than regret to get out of this one. After a few hours of walking through the forrest we finally stopped at a giant green brick wall that stretched as far as the eye could see. Two ginger headed women stood guard at the iron gate. “We have a meeting with Queen Eira.” Damon spoke with confidence. The gate arose as the guards recited a wa
Eira and Damon glided down the hallway in long strides as I slumped along behind them; my mind in a blur. My mother and father were never friendly to me, but I still loved them and the thought they knew about this wrapped my brain in barbed wire causing a migraine. We reached the end of the mossy stone hall and came to an abrupt stop in front of a massive painting that covered the entire wall. The painting was of a tall wrinkly old man in royal blue robes. The plaque that was hung on the crumbling wooden frame said ‘General Fontaine 1802-1856’ “How is the picture of some dead general going to prove anything Eira?” Damon snapped“I understand you are frustrated Damon but remember whose land you are one, and watch your tone when you speak to me. Our friendship will only get you so far.” She snapped back before placing her delicate fingers beneath the frame pulling it away from the wall exposing a large iron gate. She reached into her grey dress and pulled a long skeleton key from betwe
I ran as fast as my legs would go until I was back out at the front of the castle where the sweet little fairy met me just moments ago. I was holding back tears when I asked “How do I get down?” Peony fluttered over to me searching my face for a tale but I wasn’t giving her one. I didn’t want anyone to know what they claimed me to be. Someone couldn’t be a Lycian and a Witch. No one has ever heard of it in the hundreds of years of history before us so why now? And why me?!After a moment of silence she waved her hand and a glass staircase appeared leading to the ground; she then rushed into the castle no doubt to tell Queen Eira I was leaving the grounds. I hesitated, because the last time I left my mate it ended terribly for me, then sprinted down the staircase, onto the main road until I was back at the shops we passed on the way in. All of the shops were open with green lines painted in front of their doors.One shop in-particularly caught my eye, it was a small apothecary and the
Elena POVAt 7am on the dot my alarm rings on my nightstand. After a brief moment of irritation I sprung out of bed to get ready for school. I sat down at my vanity to do my make up. I only wanted to do a basic look today; foundation, blush, cat eyeliner, and my signature black lipstick. After applying finishing spray I started brushing my long curly ember hair when phone began to ding incessantly on the bathroom counter. After picking up the phone the dread I already felt in my heart was amplified. It was my best friend Jesse wishing me a happy birthday but I for the life of me couldn’t understand what an 18 year old girl had to be happy about. When a woman turns 18 she is mated for life, she’d be made to quit school, produce children and satisfy their mates every need and urge. That’s all a woman was good for in this town and I’d be damned if I was going to sit down and shut up about it. In fact I’ve been talking about it for years, openly cursing the idea and outdated practices. I
After standing for hours for the little old seamstress Elena was wearing a Diamond white corseted ball gown that faded down to light gold sequence. She couldn’t help but gaze at herself in the mirrors while the stylist set her curls. As the stylist Ann saw Elena gripping the simple string of pearls around her neck she tried to offer words of wisdom “You know, they say once you met your mate your worries fade away. It’s no secret in the pack that you are against this, but the moon goddess would not fate you to someone who did not understand and want your happiness. Try not to worry ma’am”“That’s sweet of you Ann, it’s more words than my own mother has said to me in the last 6 months. She’s still mad I refused to participate in the planning for tonight’s event. She just wants me to be the perfect child. I don’t think she’ll ever be happy she only had one child, and that child was me.” Elena sighed. “I’m sure she wants your happiness my lady. She’s just bound by duty to produce an hei
Elena POVI couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t help to feel like the night was about to turn to bloodshed. As I was walking across the dance floor to meet up with Jesse I locked eyes with Alpha Damon Adams. Alphas were known to be vicious, they had to be to protect their pack, but Alpha Damon was the most notoriously ruthless man to ever roam their lands. He was the protector of the Shadow pack. He was 26, 6’8, and exquisitely chiseled. He treated women like conquests, and I was about to be his next victim. Once our eyes met, he stood, violently pushing men out of his way on his path to me. Everyone watched us in horror, and I couldn’t decide wether to be terrified or wether to give into the desire building in the wolf inside of me. As he reached me he grabbed me by my waist dipping my stiff body slow and low so we’d be eye to eye. His eyes were a gold blended tan with dark rims. Brushing my hair behind my ear with one hand he cupped the back of my head to support me with
I quickly ran upstairs to my room my juices running down my legs as I did. I was still so hot for him even in my anger and disappointment. I needed a shower, so they’d just have to sort their own problems until I was done. I after lathering myself up good I removed all signs of his scent on me. I dried myself off wrapping a towel around me after stepping out of the shower, walked out of the bathroom and into my bedroom to find a set of bra and panties which to my surprise we’re already laid out on my bed for me. I looked around to find Jesse sitting at my vanity with a rather large grin on her face. “It sounded like you were having a rather nice time in the hall way ma’am” she said with a laugh. Mortified I grabbed the underwear and bra from my bed and stepped into my closet to dress myself. As I was pulling a long silver silk dress over my head I said “Leave it Jesse.” “I’m not judge you, I think it’s about time someone ruffled your cute little feathers. Anyway, I just came to check
“Yes Alpha.” The driver quickly rolled up the window allowing him to see into the back of the SUV.“Why did you have to be so cruel to him? You’d really disable a man for doing nothing more than glancing at me?” I was disturbed. I knew he was ruthless but goddess sake it’s less than one day. “No. I wouldn’t. But I don’t want anyones eyes on you while I do what I’m about to do to you.” Before I could reply Damon had pulled me into his lap in a straddling position which ripped my dress in one side. I let out a sigh. “I’ll buy you a new one.” He said before he plunged his tongue into my mouth. One kissed grew into us both exploring every inch of each other’s bodies. I had such desperation to feel him inside me that when I went to removed his shirt I ripped the buttons clean off. As I was making calculated kisses down his abs I removed his length from his pants stroking him hungrily. Once I reached his cock I swallowed the entire thing chocking as the last inch of his length entered my
