RICK FORSONTHEY REMAINED SILENT for the next couple of minutes, then Rick asked softly, โAre you alright?โ he smiled inwardly at the still heavy breaths coming from Reine. He reached across and placed a hand on her upper belly. When she did not respond, he looked up and she nodded, saying, โI am alright.โ Her voice was hoarse from the cries of ecstasy. โI am fine, I think....โโI didnโt hurt you?โ Rick asked. His voice was genuinely concerned. She had been very tight, and it took more than 5 seconds for her to stretch out and accommodate his size when he entered her the first time, that was when he had caught the scent of blood, and he realized that it was her first time. And to his dismay, he was already too far gone to slow down and make the first time a memorable one.โNo, no,โ she shook her head softly, her hair splaying on the pillow. She tried to move but winced. Rick immediately jumped to his feet, โdonโt move. I'll be right back.โ He hurried out to the small kitchen, making
RICK FORSONHE KEPT HIS gaze averted as he waited for Reine's response. His heart was in his mouth, waiting anxiously in silence as she thought of her answer. Rick closed his eyes, suddenly wishing that he had controlled his mouth and kept it shut, he should have just enjoyed the sex and gone along with the flow, instead of getting rejected as he was about to โ โYesโฆโ her soft voice said, drawing Rick out of his self-berating trance.โWhat?!โ Rick asked, unable to believe his ears. He turned to look at her, โWhat did you say?โโyes,โ she said with tears in her eyes. She grasped his hands tightly. โYes. I said yes.โ Rick leaned in and kissed her softly. โYou said es,โ he repeated, looking into her tear rimmed eyes and grinning like a little boy with a handful of candies. โYou are going to be my wifeโฆโ he pulled her into his arms and cuddled her warmly. She nodded against his chest. He mulled the thoughts in his head, and rubbed a thumb in a circular motion on her upper arm. โWe are g
RICK FORSONโYOU HEARD ME,โ Rick said smugly, feeling good about himself. โI asked her to marry me. And she said said.โโMarry,โ Jones said in an incredulous voice. โMarryโฆ like a human.โ He cocked his head. โthat type of marriageโฆโRick scoffed. โis there another type of marriage?โ he snapped.โBut you are already mated, arenโt you?โ jones asked. โthere was no need to ask her to marry youโฆโRick chuffed and walked away, suddenly angry because he knew Jones was right. There was no need to ask for her hand in marriage. Werewolves didnโt normally do that, not unless they were going to be chosen mates. โI want this time to be different,โ he said under his breath. โYou have been studying the humans too much,โ Jones replied. โI have been studying the success of Mitch Chester,โ Rick countered.โDid he get married like a human?โRick chuckled dryly. โkeep up this attitude and maybe he will be my bestman, not you.โJones smirked. โyou would not do that.โโTry me,โ Rick said, sitting down on
RICK FORSONโI TOLD BETH to leave the house today,โ Rick said, chuckling. He lay on his side and gently brushed the hair from Reine's face. โwhy would you do that?โ she asked. She didnโt look pleased about it. โwhere would she stay?โโI did it for you, Reine,โ Rick said. She pulled away and got up from bed, pulling the sheets along with her. He sat up, surprised at her reaction. This was not how he expected her to react. She should have been happy, after all, Beth had treated her like thrash for years. โReineโฆโ he said. She did not respond, she simply walked out of the room with the sheet trailing behind her. He sighed in frustration and shrugged on his shorts before going out to the kitchen. โBreakfast?โ she asked without any emotions.โYeah,โ he said, sliding into a seat at the table.In a few silent minutes, she had the whole cabin filled with the aroma of breakfast. She dished his food and placed it on the table, sitting opposite him and crossing her hand on the table. Rick imme
AFTER OVER THREE weeks of constant sex, giggling, and happiness from both Rick and Reine, the pack was finally doing well as Jones had invested some of the treasury in some shares that were now bringing in profit and helping the financial state of the pack which rick was glad about, they finally decided to fix a date for the wedding.โAre you going to call the mountain Alps kingdom, or should I?โ Rick asked Reine. They were in bed, sweaty with sexual exhaustion. โI am going to call Luna Anna,โ Reine said, rolling over from his body. Rick's wolf growled in annoyance, he reached out and pulled her closer to him. โthe beta does not seem to support this. The wedding and us.โRick scoffed. โdonโt pay Jones any attention.โ He said. He kind of understood how Jones was feeling. The beta had never had or found his mate all his life, whereas Rick had been blessed with a second chance now, it was normal for Jones to feel a bit antagonistic towards them. He might think the moon goddess is being
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERPREGNANT?? That was... an unexpected news. "Are you sure?" I asked."I am sure, Luna," she nodded. "I just did the test. It's positive."At least she was taking more determined steps than I was, I thought to myself. My hand subconsciously went to my stomach and rubbed it fondly. What a coincidence that we got pregnant a almost the same time. "Luna, are you there?" Reine's voice came through."Yes, I am," I said. "What were you saying?""I am very happy for the pregnancy," she said, and really, she sounded happy. I was happy for her, too, but I didn't know how Rick would take the pregnancy."What of your mate?" I asked slowly. "Did he accept it?""He doesn't know," she said in a small voice. Oh, so that made both of us. I was pregnant, and Mitch didn't know about it."He just left here a few minutes ago," Reine added."Oh, he did?" I asked, surprised. So they are getting along very well. That's good. "Is he treating you right?" I asked, feeling my old doubts about
MITCH CHESTER โANNA TOOK IT well, don't you think?โ Mitch asked as he and Draco went to his office. โShe did,โ Draco nodded. โWhat else did the vampire say?โ Mitch made sure the door of his office was closed securely before he said, โ He practically offered an alliance.โ โWhat?โ โI know it's crazy,โ Mitch chuckled, walking to his seat. b โYou can't really believe him,โ Draco said. โWho knows?โ Mitch shrugged. โThis might actually be a good thing,โ he said, ignoring the shocked look on Draco's face as he sat down and made himself comfortable before continuing, โI did not get to this position by ignoring offers that have the chance to help me.โ โHave you ever had a deal with a vampire before?โ Draco asked. Mitch shook his head and said, โWell, there is always a first time to everything.โ โNot with making an agreement with a vampire and expecting it to keep to the deal,โ Draco said. โThere will be no second time.โ Mitch laughed. โYou are being very dramatic.โ He sa
MITCH CHESTERAs Mitch walked into the bedroom. The light coming from the window came through her gown, highlighting her figure underneath. "Anna?" He called out. She turned and looked at him, her eyes softened as her face broke into a smile.Mitch took some steps back to catch his breath. Anna sat on the bed; her gown rode up her thighs, exposing more skin."I didn't think you would be back this early!" She exclaimed and stood from the bed, moving towards him. The nightdress barely brushed the top of her thighs; if she stretched, her cleft would be on full display. The sight of her body was doing the unthinkable to his own body.He stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. So soft. She closed her eyes and rubbed her face against his hand. Mitch groaned, lifted her chin, and kissed her.It started out gentle, even hesitant, as if he was an inexperienced, sixteen year old boy. Their lips brushed; hers quivered. He nibbled, and she nibbled back. Heโd quit moving, except for his han
FIVE MONTHS LATER,I RUB my belly fondly. It has become a subconscious habit of mine since the belly bump sprouted. On some nights, I wake up from the nightmares and horrors of being locked up in the prison underground. It has been 5 months already, but the remnants of what we lost were still vivid. Every fallen warrior was given a befitting burial. After the death of the vampires, Paige started having recurring dreams of her lost memories. I had Lorna suppress it again. i also had Lorna wipe out the memory of Janet the mistress, now she was a servant in the palace... "Are we almost there yet?" Addison asked from the back seat. Mitch grunted. "Almost." I turn and look at him. The scar he had gotten from the battle that ran across his eyes was now white, it was healing well. The cut missed his eyes by less than an inch, but the scar added to his dangerous look. I reach out and touch his hand. He turns and looks at me, but I can not decipher what is going on in his head as his eyes
MITCH CHESTERAS HE TORE through the vampires, his eyes wavered back, and he looked at Anna. He could not believe she was nearby again, even as all the odds were against him all this while. Arranging the warriors for battle on such short notice was not an easy feat as most of his warriors were not familiar with guns, but he had made them ready and prepped for battle under a few hoursHe grunted as a vampire sank his fang into his arm. He growled grabbed the vampire by its head and slammed it into the ground."Keep your head in the fight, Mitch," Draco snapped. "Don't die when she is just a few feet away."Mitch chuckled. He turned and looked at his mate again. She was holding her own well against the vampires surrounding her and Alphonso."Do these things ever finish?" Mitch asked, looking around at the vampires still swarming over the field."We have to take out the elder vampires, or Vladimir himself," Draco said, stabbing a vampire dead on the floor. He shook his spear loose and lo
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERI WATCHED THE moon rise to its peak and anticipated when the witch Agatha walked up to Vladimir and said, โIt is time.โVladimir nodded and came to stand beside me.I closed my eyes, resigning myself to my fate as Agatha came closer, muttering a long string of spells under her breath. โI will offer the blood of the current grand witchโฆโ She grabbed Lorna's hand and slit it at the wrist. I saw Lorna clench her jaws in pain as Agatha squeezed her blood into a cup, which she mixed with some herbs and gave to Vladimir. He drank it all in one gulp. Dark red veins streaked up his neck, and his eyes went bloodshot.She walked to me and added, โI will offer the life of the reincarnated grand witch, Annika, and use it to bind the soul of the vampire king, giving him immense power and immunity to the mountain ash woodโฆโโI heard her raise her hand. The air stretched with tension, and time seemed to slow down. I opened my eyes, expecting to see my life flash before my eyes, bu
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERโCOME HERE!โ THE grating of the cell on its hinges made me look up. One of the vampires was on the other side. She reached in and pulled me out harshly. My knees scraped the rough floor; I bit my lips to keep the pain in. Another one reached in and tried to grab Lorna but gasped in pain, pulling back immediately. โI will come out myself,โ Lorna said coolly. โBut try to touch me again, and it will be the last thing you ever do.โ The vampire stared daggers at her but did not move to grab her again. She cradled her hand, rubbing it fondly. Lorna must have secured herself with some sort of spell. โAnd you will unhand the Luna immediately too.โ Lorna said in a cold voice to the vampire who had her fingers wrapped tightly on my upper arm. The vampire looked uncertain, but she saw the cold and threatening look on Lorna's face. I was also shocked, but it did the trick. The vampire released me. โWhere are we going?โ Lorna asked, but I could guess already. โIt is time for
THE FIGHT WAS OVER almost as quickly as it started. We did not stand a chance against Vladimir and he was already getting empowered by the forthcoming blood moon. Lorna was sprawled on the floor, blood seeped from her mouth and her back was twisted in an unnatural angle. I was on my feet, but it was threatening to give way any second.And Vladimir?He did look like he had done anything. No sweat. No hair out of place. He had his sinister smile plastered on his face as he walked towards me. He stopped a few feet away and brushed my cheek with his icy-cold fingers. โYour last few hours should have been enjoyable, Annika.โ he said softly. โBut instead, you let that witch,โ he turned and looked at Lorna before he continued, โ...to spoil it. Tch.โ she chuffed and walked away. โIt is back to square one now.โThe woods around were suddenly alive, and things moved in the shadows. I thought I was hallucinating; maybe I had hit my head harder than I thought, and I was concussed as we were surro
ANNA KYLIN CHESTERI SAT UP in my bed, my heart was racing, and adrenaline surged as my wolf leaped to the surface, enhancing my vision, but I could not still make out the shape of the person in my room. I was about to jump through the door, not minding that I would alert the whole mansion, but I felt a pair of fingers wrap around my upper arm. Gasping in shock, I turned sharply, trying to wrestle my arm away from the stranger's grip, but to no avail. I am being attacked by two people, I thought anxiously to myself. I started to yell, but the person holding me stepped out of the shadows and my scream died in my throat."Lorna?!" I gaped.She put a finger to her lip to keep me silent. Then she cocked her head. I swung my legs out of the bed. My mind was spinning with imagination. I still felt like I was in a dream. I reached out and touched her. She was real."Quickly," she said to me. She muttered some words under her breath and the lock in the door snapped apart. The door opened
MITCH CHESTER โHAVE GUARDS PATROL the area,โ Mitch said, trying hard to rein in the panic he was feeling. โQuickly.โ Draco nodded and gave out his commands to every available guards to be on the search for Lorna. โNo one knows how long she has been gone for. She might be out of the kingdom now.โ Mitch growled. โJust tell them to search.โ โWe should probably get back,โ Draco said, turning to look around. Mitch nodded. He looked at Vorenus. Draco could see the hesitation in Mitch's body language. He knew what mitch was about to do. He dipped his hand into his pocket and tossed a small object at Vorenus who caught it easily, confused at what it was. Suddenly there was a sizzling sound and vorenus dropped the object quickly. The smell of burnt flesh filled the air and Drcao nodded in satisfaction. โWhat was that?โ Vorenus growled. โSilver, โDraco said. โSilver bullets. It is going to be our trump card.โ Vorenus shook his palm gingerly as the wound healed back immediately. โI can i
MITCH CHESTERโYOU ARE GOING to crash the car,โ Draco said, holding on to the side of his seat as Mitch drove like a blind bat.Mitch scoffed without slowing down. He pressed down on the pedal, and the car shot even faster. โThis fucking snow,โ he growled as he screeched to a stop. The tires of the car were stuck in the thick layer of snow. He got out of the car; his legs sank almost to his knees.Draco came out too, cursing under his breath. โI wonder whose idea it was to get electric cars to drive over snow,โ he looked at Mitch and added sarcastically. โOh wait, it was your brilliant idea.โMitch rubbed his chin and said, โMaybe I should have gone with your idea and bought electric sleds instead.โDraco scoffed, kicking at the snow.Mitch looked around. His breath vaporized from his mouth as he breathed out. โCome, we are not far,โ he said to Draco.โSometimes I wonder why I follow you,โ Draco said as they walked away from the stuck car. โThis is crazy. You can't just stand up and w
MITCH CHESTERMITCH KNEW HIS mind should be at rest now that he had reinforcements, but his mind was still worried. He had no doubts that it was because his mate was still out there in danger, his son was lying in bed, unconscious and blind, and his kingdom was on the brink of civil war.He paced the length of the room anxiously, his eyes drifting into the dancing fireplace as he walked past. A small knock came at the door. โCome in,โ he called.The door opened, and Draco came in. He took a look around the small, almost empty room and shook his head, saying, โYou are still sleeping here.โMitch chuffed and nodded, โI can't stay in the master chambers alone. Anna should be with me.โDraco nodded and said, โI understand that, butโฆโ He looked around again. โI am sure you can do better than a tiny room. There is even no air conditon -โโNo one uses air conditioning here, Draco,โ Mitch said. He sat on the bed heavily; it creaked under his weight.โThere is no ventilation,โ Draco continued,
