The Alpha's Mate and the Vampire King CHAPTER 15
'Let's see what the wolf council has to say. I'm sure they'll be here in a minute.' A knock comes at the door. We proceed to answer it, expecting to be confronted by the Wolf Council. 'Yiselda,' I draw her in for a hug. 'Did I make it to the meeting on time?' she asks. 'You have,' I say. 'The wolf council hasn't come yet, but they'll be here soon,' Magnus says. 'The others are in the basement. I'll bring them up for the meeting,' I say as I dash downstairs. 'Yiselda has arrived, and the wolf council is on its way,' I notify the witches. They nod and walk upstairs to the dining room, where they hug Yiselda and take their seats. Reaper warns me that the wolf council is approaching just as Ryker, Astrid, and Leon enter and join us at the table. We all appear nervous. My mind manifests into Reapers, allowing me to see through his eyes and hear anything he hears. He is perched in the moon tree, looking off towards the distance, where we see the wolf Council approach. ‘

As she stands, Yiselda adds, 'I shall return tomorrow to lead Alpha Bennet to Pandora's Box,' 'We'll accompany you, Yiselda, and return to Shadow Crest later,' I say. 'Very well,' she says with a smile. I need to see Alec, not just because I can't stop thinking about him, but also because I'm curious about this mark. I want to ask him why I keep thinking of him in a sensual light, but I can't acknowledge that I find him appealing. It just wouldn't be proper. ‘May you should come with us this time?’ I say. 'Yes!' May exclaims as she dashes over to join us. 'I'll be back soon,' I kiss Magnus, 'Don't keep me waiting too long,' he smiles. 'I won't,' I respond as I kiss him once more. We port through the circle, following the witches and appear outside Pandora’s Box. Upon entering, May squeals in delight at the broom sweeping the floor. ‘Does it ever stop sweeping?’ I ask out of curiosity. Yiselda laughs, ‘No dear. It doesn’t,’ ‘Hmm, very good,’ I say, intrigued a

‘Not just any vampire’s blood flame, Reaper, the vampire king, Alec’s blood flame,’ I say. ‘The vampire king, Alec! The first time you came here, I sensed something happened to you. Alec marked you, didn’t he?’ I nod my head. 'I had no idea what he had done at the time.' He grasped my wrist and left a mark, and I couldn't stop thinking about him in the same way I couldn't stop thinking about Magnus. My body was drawn to him, and I desired to be near him. What am I supposed to do, Reaper? How will Magnus react when he learns that Alec is my second mate?' ‘I wish I had the answer for you, Luna.’ May enters the enchanted garden along with the other witches. ‘Wow! so beautiful. Look at that gnome!’ May says and pokes its belly. The gnome doesn’t move, but when no one is looking, his expression shifts to one of irritation. ‘You weren’t joking when you said there was a unicorn,’ May says, approaching us. ‘Nina, are you okay you look like you’ve been crying?’ May adds. ‘Oh, no
The Alpha's Mate and the Vampire King CHAPTER 18
I'm having trouble sleeping. I slip out of Magnus's embrace and sit on the balcony. I can't get my mind off seeing Alec tomorrow. I should be more concerned about Alpha Bennet and the witches' fate. My inner wolf is crying to be let out. Perhaps going for a run will help. Shifting, I try not to wake Reaper. I leap from the balcony and course my way through the woods of Shadow Crest. My mind thinks of both Magnus and Alec. The notion of them both sends warm sparks through my body. Damn mate and blood flame bond! I can't get them out of my head. I can see the lake ahead of me. At this hour of the night, it would be terribly cold. I rush up the slope at lightning speed and plunge into the lake. The ice-cold water overpowers me, but in a good way, as it cleanses my mind of the two men I want to be with. The sun is slowly rising. I've been in the water for almost two hours. I'm semi-conscious and have become hypothermic. I don't want to get out of the water, though. I don't want to fe

Part of me is excited and wants to see Alec, but the other part feels guilty and thinks of Magnus. We come to a standstill in front of the dark wooden door. 'What do these symbols mean?' Alpha Bennet inquires. 'If the dark ones on the other side escape their cells, these markings will prevent them from exiting through this door,' 'Like an invisible forcefield?' He asks. 'Yes, it will also harm them, inflicting severe pain and injury if they try to force themselves through it.' As Yiselda opens the door, he responds, 'I see.' Alec's sandalwood and sage scent waft out the door, past me. My body is telling me to run to him. I'm still exhausted from nearly drowning this morning. I muster my strength to keep my feet from running to him. My fists clench, and I walk behind everyone so they don’t see me struggling to fight myself. Grimghouls snarl at alpha Bennet and the others. I see I'm close enough for them to grasp me through the bars, yet they don't seem bothered by my pre

Yiselda comes to a halt as we approach the circle to port back to Shadow Crest. ‘Fern, Ela, Ria, Lilac, I would appreciate it if you could return to Shadow Crest with Alpha Bennet while I stay behind with Luna here,’ She says. ‘Sure, Yiselda,’ they smile. Fern grabs Alpha Bennet by the back of his shirt and shoves him through the portal. I turn and giggle, looking at Yiselda, who is irritated and has her hands on her hips. My laughter stops. ‘Uh oh,’ Reaper mind-links. ‘Is everything okay?’ I ask her. 'What possessed you to approach the vampire king in such a manner? You seemed like you were about to touch him? Do you realise he has the ability to kill all of us, Luna, even you?' She claims. 'I'm sorry, I didn't intend to do that.' I couldn't help myself....' 'You couldn't help yourself,' she scoffs. I glance to the ground with guilt and clutch my wrist, feeling the tingles. Perhaps if I show Yiselda, she'll be able to assist me in figuring out how to sever the bond?

‘Nina, wait before you go. You will come back to see me tomorrow?’ Alec pleads. I approach the bars and grasp his hand in mine, ‘I’ll come back as soon as possible.’ Yiselda, Reaper and I leave Pandora’s Box and port to Shadow Crest. The wolf council are still talking to Magnus in the dining room. I take my seat next to Magnus. He takes my hand, kisses it, and resumes his focus on Alpha Bennet. 'Yiselda, I informed Alpha Amir and Alpha Theaton about what I witnessed in Pandora's Box, confirming its contents. So, we've agreed that witches can live in Shadow Crest for the time being,' 'For the time being?' Yiselda is confused. 'Yes, for now,' he answers as he stands up. 'We'll say our goodbyes and stay in touch,' he says as he walks towards the packhouse's entrance. Alpha Amir and Alpha Theaton are right behind him as he walks out the door. Ela, Fern, Ria, and Lilac rejoice and hug each other as they learn they will be able to stay in Shadow Crest. 'With that, I'll be d
The Alpha's Mate and the Vampire King CHAPTER 22
I’m sitting against the door when I hear a gentle knock. ‘Luna, it’s May, Josie and the witches here. We have come to see if you are alright. It’s not like you to burst into tears and run away like that,’ ‘Magnus is the one you should all be worried about,’ I sob. ‘Why is that, Luna? Has something happened to him?’ May asks, concerned. ‘I’ve done something terrible. Magnus will never forgive me,’ ‘I’m sure there is nothing in this world he wouldn’t forgive you for,’ May reassures me. ‘Does that include cheating on him?’ I say. They all gasp and whisper to one another. ‘Luna, I think you need to let us in and tell us what has happened so we can help you,’ ‘I’m a horrible person May. Why would you want to help me?’ ‘Because you are my sister, and you are not a horrible person. You are the sweetest, kindest, most understanding person I have ever met,’ she retorts. ‘That’s right,’ Everyone agrees. Slowly, I stand and unlock the door. The girls all wrap their arms
