13. Agendas and Alliances II
วันที่เผยแพร่:
2026-01-07 23:48:00There were three arms of the council, each with their designated role in the governing of Silver Crest. The Executive held the most power, making the crucial decisions that shaped our world. The Legislature came second, tasked with writing the laws that supposedly bound us all. The Judiciary interpreted those laws, serving as judges and arbiters when disputes arose.
In reality, they meant nothing to me. The truth was that none of them had any real power. Kieran, Asher, and I were the one

Dominic.I watched with interest as a demon was brought out of its glass cage and made to kneel before Circe. My specialist nodded to me respectfully and left.Demons were like rodents in Silver Crests. They were many, deceitful and mischievous. They had human features but what gave them away was their ears which was pointed and fangs on their upper teeth.They came in all colors. Red skinned, green skinned or even normal human skin. They were also magical creatures which means that they had magical origins. What demons knew how to do best was grant wishes.This is one in my prison was captured by me because he failed to grant me one wish after he tasted of my blood.Demons were addicted to Alpha blood due to the powerful essence it held. Like Aurora, they fed on energy but theirs was through blood and not sex.“Prince Dominic,” the demon purred and smiled desperately. “It has been a while since I have laid eyes on you." "Trickster,” I replied. “As of this moment, you are no long
The Mate They Threw Away 284. Necessary Evil
SageHe stumbled away without speaking.I watched him go. The crowd did not fill the silence the way crowds usually fill silences, with noise, with movement, with the instinctive covering-over that groups do when something uncomfortable has happened in their midst. Instead they stayed where they were and stayed quiet, and the quiet had a texture to it. The weight of people recalibrating.They had felt it. All of them within range had felt the magic, and the feeling of it was written across their faces in different combinations of the same essential ingredients, unease, fascination, the particular wariness of people who have just encountered something they do not have a category for.A werewolf with magic.I understood the reaction. I had spent long enough being the thing people didn’t have a category for to recognize it on sight.“Perhaps Lady Sage would prefer somewhere private.”Argos materialized at my right side with the timing of someone who had been watching carefully and had ch
The Mate They Threw Away 283. The Prince’s Other Kingdom
SageI wanted to leave.The desire had moved past wanting and into something more physical, a pressure behind my sternum, an itch beneath my skin, the specific restlessness of a body that has absorbed too much and is now quietly insisting on an exit. I had told myself I was prepared for whatever Dominic wanted to show me. I had believed it, the way you believe things when you are trying to be brave and haven’t yet encountered the specific thing that will prove you wrong.I had not been prepared.I could not stop seeing Dominic’s face when Circe walked in. That flicker of recognition, immediate and unguarded, the kind that surfaces before a person has time to decide whether they want it to show. He knew her. Not casually. Not the way you know someone whose name you once heard in a room you were passing through. He knew her the way people know each other when something significant has passed between them, when the history is layered and textured and probably not simple.It pissed me off
The Mate They Threw Away 282. Leave and Never Come Back
The walk back to my room felt strange in a way I couldn’t name for the first few minutes then I named it: it felt normal. Ordinary. The hallway was the hallway it had always been. Pack members moved through it on their way to breakfast, to training, to wherever their ordinary mornings were taking them. Some nodded. Some smiled. One of the younger women asked me how I’d slept.I told her fine.They didn’t know yet. The rumors were probably already moving through the pack the way rumors always did, fast and shapeless, picking up detail and distortion in equal measure as they traveled from mouth to mouth. But they hadn’t reached everyone. The morning was still new enough that I could walk through it without the knowledge of what I
The Mate They Threw Away 281. What Rejection Costs
The room emptied slowly. It wasn’t because anyone lingered. Because everyone left me behind, and there is a particular kind of slow to that, the slow of watching people choose to walk away, one after another, until the space they occupied becomes a shape you can still see even after they’ve gone.Selene left first.She didn’t look at me again. One moment she was standing in the doorway with her hands pressed to her mouth, crying so hard her whole frame shook with it. The next, she had turned and disappeared down the hall, and the space where she’d been standing closed over like water.My mother followed immediately, one arm pulling Selene close against her side.Protecting her. Comforting her. Moving like a woman who had just watched her real daughter nearly lose everything.I stood very still and watched them go.My father came last. No final warning. No second look in my direction. No pause at the threshold the way people pause in films when they want you to believe they’re consider
The Mate They Threw Away 280. The Saturn Deal.
Dominic.I could feel her disbelief. I could feel her disgust. I could feel all the negative emotions swirling through her mind. I had expected them all from her.She had no idea who I was. She was going to find out.I needed her to fall in line but I knew that it was pointless to force her. She was too powerful to compel but there were other ways.Three specialist that dealt in skinning witches alive entered the room and carried the frozen witches over their shoulders and left.Sage scoffed and glared at me. I could see the hate in her eyes but I felt nothing because I was used to her coldness. Even though I knew that she hated my guts, I still wanted to fuck her silly.The way we interacted with each other was strange. We had been intimated some moments ago, sharing a bathtub together but now here were both were with her hating me more.“I can’t believe that this is what you do,” she breathed. “If the tip of the iceberg is making you feel this way, then what if you see the whole t

Kieran.I wanted my cock in Sage. I wanted to fuck Aurora again; I wanted to feel her squirt hit my body and face. I wanted to skull-fuck my Beta. I was wracked with a desirous hunger that I had never felt before. The scent of Aurora and her juices filled my senses as I waited for Sage’s command.

Madame X rose to her feet with a dormant, grateful smile that looked completely foreign on her usually stern face. She was dressed in black leather that clung to every curve of her body like a second skin, something I’d never seen her wear before.
