  • The Vampire King's Alpha Queen   Follow the bond

    Caspian P.O.V. Anger. Outrage. How dare someone kidnap my mate? The mates of Alec and Drake? I will avenge them, rescue them and bring them back with me. Oh, I have no doubt Athena is having the time of her life right now, I feel her clearly through our bond, her emotions varying from instant worry, to annoyance, to absolute glee and something I can only describe as her having fun with other people’s feelings. I get glimpses of her, small audios of conversation. The last thing I hear before landing on the outskirts of where I feel the bond leading me, is of Miriam screaming at Athena. She is accusing my mate of lying, and someone is dragging Miriam out. Athena’s feelings are an outburst of satisfaction, and I smile to myself in the shadows of the bush where I’m observing the view in front of me. My bond with Athena is leading me beyond the mossy mansion taking up most of my view. There’s a large grassy area from where I’m standing to the mansion, probably to prevent a surprise atta

  • The Vampire King's Alpha Queen   Patience is a virtue

    Athena P.O.V.The floor once again feels solid under my feet. I land calmly, looking around the small damp cell. Iloni and Maeve are in cells right beside and opposite mine respectively, and I can sense the magic pulsating through the room. I look inside towards my matebond with Caspian, breathing a sigh of relief as I feel him normally. He is outraged, and I glimpse him standing in the corridor with my brother and Tara. They must know we’ve been kidnapped then, and Caspian will insist on coming to rescue us. Well, then my job is to gather as much information I can, keep the girls calm and protected, and have a little fun with our captors. ‘Our magic is not affected, but I fear it’s not the same for the girls. We’re from divine ancestry, they are not.’ Alessa says, sitting up in my mind. I zone back into the moment, looking around the room again. The cells are small and dirty with floors of stamped earth and a little cot in a corner for a bed. The walls are hardened clay or somethi

  • The Vampire King's Alpha Queen   Past and present

    Alec P.O.V.We arrive in the dining hall, mon’s pissed face greeting me as the first thing. I raise my hands in utter surrender, and Cas immediately thank her for her patience and praise her for the work she has done here, asking who has come already and who is still yet to arrive. Mom melts under his praise and attention, and dad chuckles as he walks up beside me with two goblets. He hands me one, sipping from the other. “The boy can charm the moon to appear during the day.” He says, shaking his head as mom’s anger vanishes completely the more she talks to Caspian. “I’m just happy he took over, and I didn’t have to be the recipient of her anger and scorn.” I say, shaking my head. “What happened? Why are you so late?” He asks. “You don’t want to know, dad.” I tell him honestly, my senses are suddenly on high alert. Zale lifts his head, growls a deep rumbling sound in my head and then he sniffs the air, growling again. He has been quiet for so long I thought he was hibernating, bu

  • The Vampire King's Alpha Queen   Nothing and everything

    Athena P.O.V.I close the door behind Cas, Alec, Maeve, Drake and Iloni. Mom opted to help out in the kitchens and said that my siblings were already wrecking havoc somewhere in the castle when I asked her where they were. She said dad was watching them, as the twins had declared they could take care of their pack alone and didn’t need adult supervision. It helped that an Elder had arrived yesterday, so dad had just shrugged and left them, saying he was only a mindlink away. He was with the younger ones, trying to contain their chaos, but as both mom and I know very well, there is no such thing as containing their chaos. Not for long anyway.I gestured for everyone to sit down, and mindlink Elenie where we are. Alec, Maeve, Cas and I make some smalltalk while waiting. Drake dotes on his mate, and Iloni follows the conversation, her seafoam green eyes shining in interest. A couple of minutes later Elenie knocks on the door, I get up to open it and wave her inside. She bows her head to

  • The Vampire King's Alpha Queen   Shared path

    Athena P.O.V.A week after my encounter with the Umbral court I’ve been here more than I have since I became Alpha Queen. I’ve noticed it does something really good for my powers, and my inner peace to come here regularly, and I’ve decided to host a formal dinner in these holy halls. I’ve invited Caspian and his ranked men, my own ranked females, Alec and his ranked people, Nate and ranked people, mom, dad, aunts Tilara, Talia, Tabatha, Ruby and Rose with all the uncles as well. I’ve invited dignitaries from the dark faes, High Council and regular Councils as well, hoping we can find some common ground to talk, eat, drink and work together. It’s a lot of people, and it has taken up all my hours since I decided on it after the encounter with Kendra and Lord and Lady Vukilon. I’ve heard from some secure sources that they have joined a group of outsiders that’s supporting the Shaded Brotherhood, and that was what was to be expected. Caspian has been helping where he can, but he has bee

  • The Vampire King's Alpha Queen   Safe in the shadows

    Miriam P.O.V.I stand in the far back corner of the throne room long before Lord Henri even entered, his youngest daughter, back from visiting relatives standing besides me. We have agreed that when I’m here I’ll pass on as her ladiesmaid, and I’m wearing those hideous big headpieces that’ll hide my face just enough so no one will notice who I really am.She was not so keen when her father decided this plan, but he ordered her to it, and she agreed as the good daughter she is. His eldest actually volunteered to take me, but her parents told her it wouldn’t do as Caspian already knew her face and intentions. She had not liked that and sulked until their son, Holden, came back with news from the borders. It had been a long but informative afternoon and evening, and I brought back alliances, gossip and a plan when I returned late that night. Hildra was not as impressed, but I do not mind her. She is old, and she does not like it when I don’t ask her permission on everything. To hell wit

    Athena P.O.V.Present day Outside the sun is shining, and mom walks up to Alec and I just as Cas makes his way over with his entourage as well. I only cross my arms, and pointedly ignore Cas, trying not to give anything away. Ellesa whines, but quickly lays down with a pout, knowing he’ll meet us
