VALERIE

I tossed and turned, but sleep wouldn’t find me. When I closed my eyes, I saw Lucas and that dark look in his eyes before he’d left. The way he’d said I want to take you echoed in my head.

For some reason, it didn’t frighten me. Perhaps it would have, when we’d first met. But now, I couldn’t stop my mind from imagining it.

His elegant face full of want, and shadowed with sharp, hungry desires. His body—limber and muscled and pale as moonlight.

I imagined the way he had been atop me just hours ago—fangs bared, hot panting breath against my shoulder.

And I wondered what might have happened if the she-vampire had not interrupted. Would he have simply stowed his fangs away? Or would Lucas have made good on those desires he’d mentioned?

Would he have bitten me?

Would he have…taken me?

Heat prickled at my face, and I kicked at my bedding, furious at myself for thinking such things.

I was marked by Xavier.

I had been taken by Xavier.

The heat I’d felt just a moment ago for Lucas sh

    BRIGID“You must be insane,” Lucas said. He looked almost shaken by Kronos’s offer. “The last thing I want is your throne as a consolation prize.”He crossed his arms and looked away, an uneasy expression on his face. “If you don’t want to rule, you could simply step down. I’m certain the Elders would compete for your crown. Let the vultures fight for your place, it has nothing to do with me.”“They would,” said Kronos, “and such competition would most certainly elicit chaos among the capitol. During a time when we are already so stricken with hunger, the last thing I want is more discourse in the palace.”Kronos’s expression softened, his thoughts rising to his face. “Besides, this is my decision and the choice is clear. You are the last remaining true heir—and to add, your abilities are powerful and your relations with the werewolves and dragons seem…sufficient. I don’t quite understand how, but you’ve managed to charm your way into the political stronghold of nearly every faction o

  • Ravished By The Alphas (Reverse-Harem Paranormal Romance)   Chapter 179 Negotiation between wolf and vampire

    BRIGIDI sat beside Kronos, barely suppressing my agitation as we sat across the table from Alpha Xavier and Lucas. The Alpha’s expression was sealed off. Unreadable. But I could sense the anger simmering just beneath the surface of him.Behind him, another tall, strong werewolf—perhaps his Beta?—stood.Outside, his guards waited on high alert.Tension crackled thick in the air. A nervous pit grew in my stomach. There were rarely werewolves permitted this deep into vampire territory—except during war time.I was not used to sitting in the same room as one, and certainly not under such civil matters. But something important had arose, and Kronos was adamant in dealing with the situation privately, so as to minimize the damage between our kind and theirs.No one was certain how it had happened, but the Alpha’s father—Caesar Murphy—had been found dead on the first floor of the palace.Maybe that accounted for his gloomy expression. Or maybe, it was something else.Whether it was at the h

    VALERIE“It could be true,” Amara said in a sing-songy tone, “it could be false. Once a wizard casts a curse like that, even he can’t fully control it. It takes on a life of its own, you see.”I frowned. “That sounds like a fancy way of saying it’s all nonsense.”Amara tilted her head. She was smiling, but her expression was diluted with something unreadable. “Is it? Then how do you explain the part that’s already come true? Sebastian is yours. You’ve capture others, too. That doesn’t sound like simple fate.”My jaw tightened. A flush crept to my cheeks. “He’s not mine.”The old woman smiled thinly. His eyes fell to the mark on my neck. “Tell that to the one whose mark you carry on your flesh. The curse predicted the downfall of supernatural creatures, if you recall. Their return to submission under humans. Do you, or do you not have all the species kneeling at the hem of your dress?”Heat curled in my stomach as I recalled the dream. The touch, of several hands on me at once. The pul

    VALERIEI found Sebastian in the valley later that morning. He was still waiting in the exact spot among the wildflowers where we’d last spoken.I was nervous to approach him, given our last meeting. What could I possibly say to make the space between us less…awkward?My face flared hot as I approached, recalling that heated moment before I fell asleep. Perhaps the Sebastian in my dream hadn’t been real, but the moments leading up to it certainly were.And the intimate heat of it had certainly been real, too.I could still feel his fingers, sparking up the pleasure between my thighs.Sebastian noticed me approaching and watched me with a side-long glance. “How are you feeling?” he asked.I brushed aside the images in my mind, still burning vividly from the night before. My face was heated and I could only hope he couldn’t see. “I want to speak with Amara…alone, sometime. If that’s alright.”“It’s unwise,” Sebastian replied. “The witch is a sly wench. It would be best if you were super

    VALERIEI dreamed of hands around my body.Several hands. Too many to belong to a single person.Their palms were hot, fingers squeezing skin with a bruising vise.When I looked up, Sebastian was above me, hovering between my thighs. His fingers were dipping into my heat—curling and stroking me into a pleasant high.I whimpered, stifling the sound out of shame. “W-why are you doing that?”Sebastian glanced at me, but didn’t answer.Instead, it was Lucas’s voice I felt, hot and smooth against my ear. I realized it was his hands holding me in place, gripping me beneath the knees to keep my thighs opened wide.“Why, you ordered him to,” Lucas said. “Don’t you remember?”Heat climbed to my face and I shuddered pleasantly at Sebastian’s fingers. “I-it’s the heat,” I tried to explain. “I had to, I couldn’t do it alone.”“Liar,” Lucas purred in my ear. “You want him, don’t you?”“N-no,” I sputtered, but Sebastian swept his thumb against just the right place. I moaned out, feeling Lucas’s han

    CAESARI’d lost track of how long it had been since that vampire servant told me Nicasa would meet with me. Soon, they said. Soon had come and gone long ago.Vampires rarely spoke the truth unless it amused them. I’d known that coming into their territory, but still—I’d recklessly trusted Nicasa.What choice did I have? Xavier had turned too many in the North to his side. I hadn’t expected Felix’s daughter would be such a facet in the grand scheme of things. I hadn’t expected her to inspire such loyalty. She was supposed to be a tool, a stepping stone in Xavier’s path, not someone who would shift the tide away from our favor.Luck had not favored me this time.But I was still breathing. I could persevere. A true ruler knows that great things come to those who wait. I still had plenty of cards left to play…if Nicasa would return with a damned medic, as she promised.Revenge burned in my chest.The potion was my last hope. The formula I’d taken from the ashes of Akard. With it, I could
