Twenty-five years ago, a part of her died... Her father, Grendel Wythorn, is the second-in-command to the twenty-two fanged kingdoms–an indomitable clan of vampires. Grendel Wythorn thirsts for power, and to quench his raging desire—he engaged his daughter to the newly sworn in Shadow emperor—Mark Valtimore. She thought all would be well. At first, it was, until the past loomed in, taking the form of a werewolf alpha. And now, she must fight the face beneath the mask. She is... Erin Grendel, the heiress to the Nebramos kingdom and protector of her family's Faberge!
View MoreErin's chest constricted and tightened her heart until it began to ache. Her chest heaved when she laid her eyes on Lola's body, which lay motionless and submerged in the water, while her red dress floated on the surface. "What did you do?" Erin's voice shook as she darted into the bathroom and dropped to a crouch beside the filled bathtub. Her hands trembled as she plunged them into the cold liquid, desperately pulling Lola's head out. Erin wrapped her arms around Lola's pale shoulders, crying, "Wake up," as she gently tapped her cheeks.Lola's eyes remained closed, and her chapped lips were slightly open. Erin was devasted, but there was still hope since Lola wasn't turning blue yet. In a panic, Erin screamed, "Help!" dragging Lola's body out of the tub. Erin winced when Lola's limp feet hit the tiles with a light thud. "Help!" A shrill sound flew out of her lips as she pulled Lola's body out of the bathroom. Managing to place Lola on the bed, she placed both her palms on Lo
A fat frog sat in her throat, restricting the flow of oxygen. Lola shook, widening her eyes and clinging to Erin's body. Lola was the eldest, but she had been born to depend on her sisters all of her life. Sometimes, she told Erin she wished she was dead because she was a curse and not a blessing. The knock sounded again from the other side of the door. "Who is it?" Anna asked in a confident voice. "It is I, Amelia," she announced, knocking again. "The fanged elders are demanding to see Erin." Erin's heart sank into her stomach at the discovery. What did they want with her? "Why?" Erin asked, crawling from under the bed and rising to her feet."I have no idea, but they await your arrival, and Father said to tell you not to keep them waiting," Amelia said and added, "Hurry so I can replace you," in a low voice that was barely above a whisper. Erin unlocked the door and stepped out of the room, throwing furtive glances around the hallway.Amelia threw her head into the room, scann
Erin stayed in her room for a few hours before emerging to do something else. She had been talking to the flower about the things she enjoyed doing. Her head occasionally showed her images of Duncan, and she couldn't wrap her head around the fact that she was into a man she only met twice or thrice. A man that looked like her very own Darcy. Erin made her way to the courtyard, watching the servants going about with their daily activities. "Anna, would you like to pick some dandelions with me?" Erin asked her personal maid, who accepted enthusiastically. Erin waited, watching as Anna rushed over to the other side of the courtyard to pick up a straw basket. "Did you keep that there?" Erin asked when Anna approached her with the basket in her hand."Yes, I was hoping you would pick some dandelions today like you always do." Anna beamed, walking beside Erin as they made it to the beautiful and nicely scented field of dandelions. Erin chuckled, shaking her head. Anna was her most tru
Erin Nightwind Erin sat on her bed, staring out of the window at the fields of dandelion a few miles away from the castle. She hugged her pillow tight, wondering what it was that Duncan did to her that made her feel safe with him. Her eyebrows creased into a frown, and she chewed on her bottom lip. "Am I insane?" Erin inquired, tossing a worried gaze at the floor and returning it to the dandelions. It aided in calming her nerves. "How did I let a strange man into the kingdom?" She stood from the bed, throwing the pillow on the bed. She walked to the window, eyes rolling over the houses and hills that were situated metres away from the castle. She lifted her chin, gazing at the blue sky, which had no sign of the rain, but heavy pillows of dark clouds were gathered in the sky. Her heart constricted, and she splayed her fingers over her chest, massaging the spot that ached alongside her heart. Erin shook her head, palming her face and then resting her elbows on the window sill. Sh
Duncan disentangle his arms from around Hilda's waist and paid deaf ears to Lara's question. He made his way to where she stood and pulled up short in front of her with his jaw clenched. He turned his back against her and tapped on it. "What is going on, Duncan?" Lara inquired. "Get one damn back," Duncan instructed, and he could hear her swallowing the rest of her protest. His ears twitched when the guards mind-linked him, informing him of their arrival. Lara wrapped her arms around his neck and heaved herself up. He locked his wrists around her legs and carried her comfortably on his back. "We should head to the palace. The guards are already waiting at the door." Duncan walked out of the bathroom, feeling a little discomfort when Lara tightened her grip around his neck. Hilda tailed behind him, asking, "When did you call the guards?" "When I was cleaning your wounds," he responded. Duncan reached the exit door and stretched his hand to open the door, but Hilda beat him to i
Duncan's eyes bulged out of his sockets when Hilda fell to the ground with Evin on her, trying to bite her neck. Hilda struggled, pushing Evin's chest and whimpering. Arching his back, Duncan shook as his bones snapped, and his muscles grew larger, stretching his clothes until they began to rip apart. His breathing intensified, and he bared his teeth, feeling as the fangs elongated and grazed his bottom lip. "Duncan..." Hilda's voice shook as she called out to him, causing his heart to beat erratically. He swallowed a deep breath, gripping his shirt and ripping it apart as hair sprouted out of his skin, covering his entire body. Duncan, in his wolf worm, darted towards Evin, throwing a blow to the side of her head and sending her against the wall. Evin dropped on the floor, glaring at Duncan and growling with the voice of a thousand beasts. Saliva flew out of her mouth as she poked out her tongue, and it reached her chest. Duncan breathed heavily, wondering what it was that she
"What happened to your sister?" Duncan asked, springing out of his chair with worry lines, creasing his forehead. Hildergard shivered, unable to speak as she looked to be terror-stricken from whatever it was that might have happened to her sister. Duncan walked away from the chair and made it to where his beta stood. She launched into his arms, releasing her entire weight on him. He fastened his arms around her waist, his heart skipping a beat as she panted and began to sob. "Talk to us. What is going on?" Lara's voice rang out, followed by the sound of her chair scrapping against the polished tiles, hinting that she was getting to her feet. "And who is she to disturb our precious time as a family?" Calypso asked, sounding the least pleased. "The future beta of the kingdom," King Mirthorn responded. Hildergard ceased to sob. Duncan released her body when she pulled herself away from his hug. "My apologies, Your Highnesses." Hildergard offered Calypso and the king a curt bow an
DuncanDuncan, in his invisibility form, walked into his room in the middle of the night and gently shut the door behind him before turning visible."That's a nice ass you got there." Her voice was icy cold. Duncan flinched and spun, meeting the angry eyes of his beta. "And the dangling thing too." She shrugged and then wore a scowl immediately. "I have been waiting for the past how many hours and here you are sneaking in naked from your fuck fest?"Duncan rushed to wrap a towel around his waist not feeling ashamed as nudity was a normal thing in the werewolf kingdom. "Shh, do not be so audible," Duncan held his finger to his lips and shushed her. "Do not shush me. I will be as loud as I want." Hilda creased her brows into a frown as she sat up on his bed and folded her legs under her body. "I will-""Hildegard..." Duncan groaned, scurrying to clamp her mouth with his wide palm. "Dunky, I had a dream that darkness-" Lara barged into his room and paused, shuffling her gaze from hi
Erin GrendelA faint blush devoured her cheeks, and she bent her head in a bid to hide them. She solely wondered why his touch had so much effect on her. "Would you like to share what the problem is?" She asked, and he shook his head in disagreement. "Okay, has my apology been accepted?""On one condition." Duncan held up a finger, letting go of her hand. "It better not be something ridiculous," Erin mumbled, motioning for him to continue.Slowly, Duncan closed the gap between them, and his calloused palms found her small waist."You let me kiss you," Duncan announced, and she facepalmed, shaking her head in opposition. "I can not go around kissing a stranger." Erin tried to free herself from his hold, but his grip never weakened. "We are not strangers anymore. We are soul mates. I promise I will not kiss you for long." Duncan pouted, and she gave it a long thought before accepting. "Just this once." A small smile graced her lips, and he chuckled, pushing up his eyebrows.
