~Xyana~

A few minutes into our journey, my heartbeat was all over the place. I concentrate on breathing deeply. I haven't been to this pack in months. It feels painfully surreal.

The ride is uneventful, the road is smooth and once we pass Gurreo-Valley border, my breath hitches. A few more minutes into the ride, familiarity slowly starts creeping in. I suddenly feel like a ghost, as if the old me died and left this scared shell in her place.

Echoes of memories of Black-haw pack come racing through my mind. It is a place where I used to hang out with my friends and have fun, a place where I pushed through the pain of being an orphan and moving forward in life, one determined step at a time.

Now I'm barely able to make myself move forward. At least I'm certain if I were walking down with both legs, I wouldn't be able to cross Gurreo-Valley pack boundary.

My fingers wind into Dion's own. I keep my gaze forward on the road and try my best to keep from letting my own emotions overwh

    ~Zegulf~My voice comes out in a deep rumble from my chest. “Brody, if you want to play games, I’ll strip you naked and drop you in the middle ofThe Atlantic.”Raising his hands in a shield, Brody says, “I’m not, but your reaction is what I wanted to see.”“What?” I ask.“Let me ask some questions. I want to see if my thoughts are right before I answer anything.”Sighing, I nod my head. Nothing in this fucking city has been fucking simple yet. Why should this be any different?“How much blood did you give her?” Brody asks.Leaning back on the table, I think back on the turning.How it felt when I was drinking from her, and how it felt when she drank from me. How even when she fought me, a large portion of my blood went into her. How when she drank deep from me, it felt as if she were draining my cock as much as my body.“What the fuck?” Declan sounds like he’s gagging. “Can’t you keep your dick soft when you’re thinking of your Luna?”Smirking, I look down at the semi-hard cock in my

    ~Zegulf~I watch as the blood flows into the tubing, then into a small vial. Brody isn’t taking much, just enough to look under the microscope that Adrian brought in. When he leaves the room, I slump back down. Even though most of the people here are werewolves, a reasonable chunk of us are knowledgeable about Vampires, and none of us have ever heard of a turning taking more than half a day.Today is the second day of Carmen’s turning.Twenty-nine hours later, and my brain is fucking melting from the inside out.Clifton comes into the room and shakes me from my stupor. “Alpha.”“What?” I rasp.He looks to Carmen, then back to me. “We need to talk.” He says quietly.Outside, I found another one of my men now guarding the entrance to my room. I follow Clifton as he leads me to a little room I never noticed before, where maps have been laid out on the table.Looking at the maps, I ask, “What’s going on?”“We’ve been doing a shit ton of snooping around,” Declan says as he looks up from

    ~Zegulf~Kennedy has brought disharmony to the house, and keeping him alive is setting a lot of people's teeth on edge.Walking past Declan, who is silently keeping watch in the hallway, I open the door to see that Carmen has yet to move from the bed. Her body is still and motionless.There’s no heartbeat coming from her chest. No breath rising and falling with her magnificent breasts. Sitting down beside her, I move with as much care as I can, though it’s not like I could actually disturb her during the turning.Brushing a couple more stray strands of hair from her face, I tuck them behind her ears. My fingers feel the soft, smooth skin of her cheekbones, and I can’t help but want to feel her lips against my own again.Leaning down, I kiss her delicate lips, and it pains my chest that they don’t kiss me back. Pulling away, I run my hand around her stomach

    ~Zegulf~The human twists his head toward me, blood, sweat, and bruises all over his face, and his bellowing is quieted by the duct tape slapped over his mouth.“Hunter of hybrid vampires,” I continue as I walk around him. My hand lashes out to claw a deep gash across his tattooed chest. “How very fucking frightful.”Leaning against a wall, Declan chuckles and says, “Anyone want to take bets on how many hybrids he’s killed?”“I’ll drop an even fifty grand saying this fuck hasn’t wetted his blade on any yet,” Clifton says.“It’s a losing bet,” I say and look down as I rest my bare foot between the hunter’s legs, right on the edge of his seat. “I bet he’s still a virgin, in more than one way. Wonder what it will feel like if I drain his virgin blood.”Bro

    ~Zegulf~I can feel my wolf and vampire fighting to come to the surface, only to scare Brody, who I'm so sure wouldn't give a fuck. But since I drank from Carmen, every part of me feels alive.I manage to calm my raging monsters and lift a brow at Brody. “Oh? And on whose authority?”“On the authority of doing what’s best for my Alpha and his soon-to-be Luna,” he snarls back at me.I bristle with the need to put him in his place. But he’s right. I would have done the exact same thing, or worse, if I were in his shoes. Sighing, I motion for him to follow me as I walk into the living room of the spacious safe house we got lodged in after leaving the motel.“You’re going to need to run your tests again,” I say while moving to look out the window.“Did claiming her not help?”Shaking my head with a small laugh, I thump his shoulder with my fist. “Quite the opposite, actually. I feel... stronger than I have in years. My mind has a focus now that I never knew I lost.”“Are you sure?” he ask

    ~Zegulf~The turning is complete, at least I think it is. But she died on my cock as I came inside her.I wasn’t even able to control my orgasm. She ripped it from me as I forced her soul into merging with my own.The thudding of her strong heart is gone. She must have felt it when her heart skipped beats and shuddered to a stop.Fuck!Pulling myself gently out of her, I watch as the load she tore out of me leaks onto the sheet.I wanted to torment her. I wanted to punish her for making me wait so long.I could have been gentle in my quest to possess her as mine, I could have done a million things differently, but I could barely control my vampire. The bloody beast was raving.Sighing, I stare at the beautiful, still face of my mate. Did I make a mistake? Did I not turn her correctly?I could have let my wolf claim her, but the last time I attempted that was with Xyana, and she literally died. I couldn’t let myself try such ever again.Letting my vampire side mark her meant draining h
