Alari's povThe sounds coming from Damien were sounding more animalistic with every passing second, and I didn't know whether I should worry or not.He looked bigger, hairier, and I was pretty sure he was hunched over, just a little. Not sure if it's the accurate thing to assume but I think Damien was mid shift.Was it even possible? For both man and beast to be present at the same time?“Sheesh, why do I feel so unwelcome?” Narcissa taunted, was she trying to get a reaction out of him. “Stop messing around” I growled at her, getting ready to shift if need be. “You guys are no fun! Boo” she said, giving us a thumbs down, and I swear I almost asked how old she was. “Keep your guard up Lari” Sapphira reminded. “I wanted to see for myself if the rumour was true” she said staring at me intensely. “And what rumour is that” I asked, needing her to state her reasons for invading our home.“That your elven whore of a mother left an exact copy of her. Down to her eyes” her gaze hardened,
Alari's pov“Are you okay?” Damien asked, now fully human again. “Yes” I answered, and I was. “That was a lot to take in my love, are you sure you're alright?” He asked again and I leaned into him, hoping his scent could calm me enough to push down the blood lust but the slight smell of blood in his scent made it worse. “I am alright, I really am. It's just…” I didn't know how to say it, maybe I did and didn't like what it implied. “You want to rip her heart out while you watch the life drain from her eyes” he said softly, making me look up at him. “I'm very familiar with bloodlust my love, and I'm also aware I reek of blood” he joked, reminding me of how we were spiritually connected. He could feel the need to kill pulsating through me. “And no, it doesn't make you a bad person, not when it's deserved” he said, making me sigh and return my head to his chest. “How did she even get in here? This place has zero privacy! She couldn't have just walked in” I said, only now thinking
Alari's pov “So… you've been able to communicate with Lylla since your shift?” Dad asked as we descended the steps to the dungeon. “Yeah” I said, turning right at the bottom of the stairs.“And you have her memories?” He asked again and I looked back at him with a smile. “Yep” I smiled, the surprise on his face quite amusing. “Illuminus” I said and a ball of light appeared on my hand and I turned back to navigating the dark hall way. “Alari, if you have her memories then you can find the dark elves!” Mom exclaimed, as if just figuring it out. “Actually, no. The memory was wiped” I said with a sigh as we reached the end of the hall. “Fucking Pixies” mom muttered under her breathe and I just smiled, at least now dad and her felt the same about Pixies. “Okay, what now?” Damien asked as my eyes went up and down the wall before us. “Pull that torch down” I said, pointing at the torch on his right and he did so without question.We waited a few seconds before the sound of chains pu
Damien's pov I couldn't stop my heart from racing, every part of me wanted to stop this but I knew I couldn't, I had to let her do this. “Noli intrare malum, non transitum” she began her spell and I wondered what language it was. Latin maybe?It wasn't long after she said those words that I noticed something happen in the pool. I could feel the pull getting stronger, like it was calling out to me. She repeated the incantation and the writings on the stones lit up, making me tilt my head to the side in wonder. “Is it working?” I asked lowly so I didn't disturb her and her dad nodded with a whispered ‘yes’.Something was happening with the water, the light within it seemed to be whirling around Alari. She said the incantation again and I felt a jolt of electricity rush down my spine. Before I could question what that was, I felt the bond I had with every wolf and Lycan in the Kingdom awaken.The life force of every shifter under the Kingdom fuelled my Lycan and I could feel Roman p
Alari's pov Damien's scent was the first thing I perceived when I began to awaken from my slumber. Curling my fingers, I felt the softness of his fur and opened my eyes to find his big Lycan head on my lap, snoring softly.A sense of warmth washed over me as I watched my mate's majestic, sleeping, Lycan form. He looked so cute, I wanted to bite him!I could also feel him more distinctly, and we seemed to be feeding off of each other, off of our bond. I could feel his life force pulsing through me so strongly, I wondered if he could feel me the same way. “Yes, I can” Roman growled softly, his eyes still closed but his subtle rubbing gave his state of consciousness away. “Hey! I thought I put up a wall so you couldn't invade my mind” I playfully rolled my eyes but was genuinely curious to know how he was able to break through my mental wall. Could it be the current state of our bond? It felt a lot more powerful, and I'd never felt so connected to him. I could literally feel his
Damien's povRoman had never handed control back so easy or quickly, he knew too well he couldn't help and didn't want to waste time bickering. Putting my pants on in record time, I held her hair back and rubbed her back as she threw up all she ate… well, barely ate. I used my shirt to wipe the corners of her mouth when she was done and she got a good whiff of it. “Your scent is calming” she smiled a little and I took her into my arms.“Are you okay?” I asked once she'd settled, nose buried in my neck.“Yeah, a little, I don't know what happened. I was fine one second and then, I was falling” she said, her breathing a little taxed. “Urg, I'm so tired all of a sudden” she groaned, worrying me more. “Has your blood work come back yet? It's been a while” Pearl said, reminding me of their presence, and that call that'd slipped my mind. “Fuck, yeah, the doctor did call, yesterday before all the crazy, I'm sorry I forgot” I said, kissing her forehead and she gave me a lazy smile. “We
Alari's pov “Oh my fucking Goddess!” Pearl screamed, getting up from her chair. “Language” mom teased and I smiled at her, rubbing my flat stomach. “You said godmother, she said godmother!” She screamed the last part, looking at everyone else to confirm. Jumping up and down, she finally skipped her way to me and hugged me… a little too tight.“There won't be any godmothering if you choke me to death” I exaggerated my choking, to which she quickly let go.“Sorry, I'll be gentle” she said, hand stroking my hair, smile still big as ever. She looked like a ray of sunshine on a cold, cloudy day when she smiled like that. “Congratulations sweetheart” dad said with tears in his eyes, which brought tears to my eyes.“Congratulations Alpha, Luna” Mason bowed, smiling fondly.“Thank you Mason” I smiled back.“Do we all understand that this can't leave this room? We have a spy problem and we can't have the wrong people knowing” Damien said, putting a hole in the bubble I was floating in. “Y
Valerian’s pov I rushed into my home as the wind picked up rather rapidly and the sky was darkening quite fast; it looked like there was going to be a big storm. ”This can’t be a good sign” my wife said looking out the kitchen window. A sudden storm on a day like this is never a good sign but we had to be hopeful, the queen was in labour. “I know love, but we must have faith in the Goddess” I said, hugging her from behind. “It should have been you! Everyone knows it should have been you delivering that baby!” she huffed, leaning her back into me. I could feel her worry, and it took everything in me to not succumb to my own. “The King knows best love” I said, rubbing my hands up and down her arms, hoping that was at least enough to calm her a little, but my efforts did nothing to soothe her, not even a little. She pulled away from my embrace and took a few steps away; throwing the dish rag she’d been using to wipe the counter into the empty sink. “The King is a fool!” she ye
