ADONISFinn then steps forward, stares at me for a moment, then turns and nods to Angie. She then looks at the warriors and says,“Clear the room…”I am surprised when they all slightly bow toward me and then leave the office. Angie shuts the door behind her. I look at Finn and raise my eyebrows. He takes a step closer and leans on the chair in front of my desk as he asks,“Are you okay? You look drawn. When was the last time you fed?”“I’m not sure, but I’m fine. I got a call from Alpha Samuel and we think my mother shifted last evening.”Finn looks at me, surprised for a moment, and then he takes a deep breath before saying,“His Highness contacted me just after those warriors arrived and said that your mother has entered into her heat so there is no way they can travel until it has passed…”I look at him as if he had just spoken to me

EMMAOnce outside I close my eyes against the brightness of the midday sun and take a deep breath of the fresh air, I hadn’t realised just how stuffy that cave actually was but then I was distracted so I couldn’t focus on much else but Jeremiah or Kiaan. After a few more deep breaths in, I open my eyes and look around.I am surprised I didn’t notice this last time; I know where I am thanks to Adonis and his insistence on studying all the land and not only the land within the kingdom. I turn around and look up. There is no way I can go up, but I smile as I remember Jeremiah jumping up there with me, seeing the clearing and the river along the edge.I frown as I remember him whispering into my ear and then the pain of Odette trying to force a shift; I hear her again in my head,“Emma, please…” I close my eyes and again ignore her. I open my eyes and turn back around and face the ledge. I carefully look down and then step back and as like last time, I know that from this height I wouldn

EMMA I stand my ground as Jeremiah gets to his feet and I can see he is fighting Kiaan. However, it only lasts a moment before I whimper as he takes a step toward me and then another until he is close enough to reach out and slide his hand to the back of my neck, making me whimper again as he hisses. “Whether you like it or not, my pet, I do still own you, and this is my claim for everyone to see. So be a good little mate and get us males some refreshments.” As he states his claim, he moves the strap of the dress; I am wearing and ran his fingers over his mark, sending a shiver through me. I shake my head when I hear Odette whimper, bringing me out of the shock of his words. No one has treated me as a servant for 20 years and even though the submissive and years of training want me to bow my head and obey my Master, the Queen Alpha I have become over the years won't back down, knowing only suffering comes from giving in. I straighten my shoulders and fight the tears stinging my ey

JEREMIAH It was a well-kept secret and one I had forgotten about until I had been informed that my mother was trying to get Joesph to impregnate her. She knew that Finn was too loyal to me to take the throne from me, even after my exile. I look at Adonis and say,“Everyone knows my mother was a chosen mate for my father, one of noble blood, but what they didn’t know was that it wasn’t my father's choice but his father's. My mother was the eldest daughter of the highest noble family in the kingdom. However, even after she had bonded with my father, she formed a crush on my Uncle, Joesph. As I was young, what happened around Finn's birth didn't affect me. I then grew up with Finn as my closest friend. We were as close as brothers and there were many servants around the castle at the time that would whisper that we were. One night when I was about 10 and Finn was about 7, we heard my mother and father fighting in the sitting room. W

THIRD PERSON  A few days later Emma decides that she has been invading Amelia’s space for too long even though Amelia wasn’t complaining, now thanks to Odette she doesn’t have the limited hearing that she used to so she could hear the whispered complaints of some of the guards as they did their rounds wanting their freedom to do as they wished back. Just as Emma is heading to the hangar to move on, she is grabbed and pulled back into one of the window alcoves. Emma doesn’t get a chance to react as her arms are twisted and pinned to her lower back as she is pushed and pinned to the wall. The male vampire behind her pushes his body more firmly into her back, making her feel his excitement as he whispers into her ear,  "I told you that you would regret interfering with my fun. Now I take the blood and pleasure from you that I was going to take from that weak little human female."  Emma can’t stop the scream that leaves her
