“ I am so sorry.” I said, just holding in the air. He drew in air, coughing a few times.“ You want to kill me.” He said as I giggled.“ Never,” I said back, rubbing my nose on his as he chuckled. His head tipped back, kissing me again but this time I pulled away. I went down his neck. I had not checked on my mark. It was there, black and white. It was unique and beautiful. I kissed it and I thought he would drop me with how he just jerked up. I held the laugh, licking it over and over again until he was poking me in all the right places.Wicked me had been looking for that reaction. He groaned.“ This woman.” He said as I laugh, sucking on the mark to just kill him once and for all. He pushed me even higher with one stride. My legs let go of his waist, him positioning me just right before lowering me on him.It was a blast of all the wonderful feelings in the whole wide world. He did all the work, pushing me up and down on him as I worked that mark. It was his sweet spot, having him

The piles of bodies were long and wide. Five piles of nothing but bodies. I shook so hard, the image stuck in my head. I knew we were in view, knew I had to be strong for the people who were already going through so much grief but I could not. The king tightened his hold on my hand. His arm came around me with him holding firmly. His body was as hard as stone, just frozen there. His heart beat so hard the impact could be felt on my body as I stood before him. My mouth opened to close, biting my lower lip to divert the pain somewhere else but it did not work. The pain clouded all my senses, leaving me paralyzed. It would kill me, I could not handle it, just absorbing it and letting it wash over me. I went as pale as paper, felt myself go so cold. The only way I had not fainted was because of Darkness. I slowly drew from the king, slowly pulling from him to stand and it was hard to hold my head up. It was hard to look but I had to. I was shaking, forcing my eyes to open only to lay o

I wore my sleeping silky night dress, my hair let loose. My feet carried me slowly out of the closet, switching off the lights. The first thing I noticed when I reached the room was how he had cleared out the carts of food we had left. He was in bed, sleeping with his back turned to me. I bit my lip, debating on what to do. The lights were switched off, my feet soft on the ground even though I knew he was wide awake. I pulled the covers so slowly and carefully slid in. My body lay so rigid, afraid to even move with my eyes wide and chest going crazy. My eyes stared at the ceiling, wanting to turn to my side but afraid. I held every sound in, so quiet. I could hear him breathe and it was labored. I could hear his heart drum and it was too much I thought it would kill him.Was it wise for me to stay there when I knew his demons especially after such an incident that would have triggered him? Was I making it worse or better? So many thoughts but I could not move. All indicators were jus

I found only two ladies from our pack in the kitchen. The Nightshade pack had taken charge, cooking for us all even though they hated using electrical equipment but they did so. The other women from the other packs helped too.As the day went on, more and more wolves filed through the borders to help where they could. It warmed my heart out. We cooked in silence yet silence that was so comforting. Food was taken to the children’s house, to the training warriors then we moved from house to house knocking.Most of the houses were empty, no one there. In others there were only children sitting around and not knowing what to do with themselves. Nearly all those with deceased fathers had lost their mothers too that night. The mothers were either unstable, near death, dead or had run away after turning rogue.The children took food after we kept persisting but even then they just stared at it. They were cursed, their childhoods snapped away. Twelve year olds were left the heads of families,

“ They are weakened by amaryllidaceae plants.” Alpha Ampswolf said with everyone nodding their heads.“ Do we have access to it? We need a lot of it. It needs to be crushed and we could spread it over the warrior’s bodies. The smell is the key, it blocks the sinuses of the vampires and burns their eyes. They wont be expecting this thus the effect will be stronger. It will slow them down thus giving us an advantage, how little it is, it is better than nothing.” I finished off, all nodding their heads.“ The Redtree pack has an orchard of it, they like the taste of the little bulbs that blossom from it.” The king answered with me nodding my head.“ That is perfect. What is the effective way to kill vampires?” I asked, throwing the question to the floor.“ Pull out their heart.” Brum suddenly answered, his voice low and sounding so foreign. It was rusty as if he had not spoke in long time and he cleared his throat many times after. Conri tightened his hold on my shoulders from hearing Br
