“Harlow, what did you just do to him?" Karina asked after seeing her brother in pain."She just marked him," Will told them. He had a small smile on his face.Karina looked between Harlow and Gore, doubting that was what she just did."I suggest that you get out of here," Will said to Courtney. “Vampires are much more possessive than wolves when it comes to their mate. Right now, with Harlow being in her first stage of immortality, she is very much aggressive and impulsive. Not to mention the lineage she's from. They love to see when people suffer and are in pain. She is no less just because we raised her." He explained.Courtney backed away when Harlow turned her black eyes to leer at her."I'm not aggressive. Maybe I like a little suffering.’’ Harlow gazed at Will. ‘’But I just want all these female to know that Gore is mine, and I don't want them touching what is mine.’’ She now looked back at Courtney. “I don’t understand why the unmated can throw themselves around instead of wait

"Hello Gore!" She had her usual playful smile, but she had a strained look, and her face seemed much older than she actually was.All at once, Harlow was across the field to where her uncle was. He gripped her upper arms painfully and was hissing in her face."Hurry!" Onyx hissed at the witch.Selina started a chant, which caused Harlow to feel weak."Yes, yes, soon enough I will have you and that darkness too. All the power in the world will be mine." Onyx laughed.Selina nodded at Onyx. He kissed Harlow’s neck before sinking his fangs into the soft flesh there.Selina’s chanting picked up. Angry clouds rolled across the sky to where they were. Onyx let out a loud roar before letting go of Harlow, causing her to fall to the ground, screaming in pain.Gore growled out, but he, or the others, couldn’t move or shift. The only thing they could do was stand and watch Harlow crying in pain.“My little niece, the more you fight it, the more it hurts," Onyx said, watching as she clawed at t

Gore scratched at his neck, ever since Harlow bit him the other day, he had a burning, itchy sensation in the spot. He didn't understand why, but all he knew was that it was more intense whenever he showered with hot water."When did you get a tattoo?" Derek ran his finger by Gore's neck. Gore flinched away from him. "Now why in the hell would you even touch me like that?""Because of the tattoo on your neck."Gore looked up at Derek as he scratched at his neck again, "what?" Derek pointed at where Gore's hand was, "the flower tattoo." Gore frowned then looked in the mirror that was hanging in his office. "Harlow," he let out, as he said her name, she appeared in his office. "We are ready to leave, Karina is already waiting in the car." She said with a smile.After seeing the look on her mate's face, her smile dropped, and she rushed over to him, "what's wrong?" Gore moved his head to the right for her to see. "This."Gore looked down at her with a raised brow."Well you know ho

"Can I go? I have no idea what you are talking about." October whispered but everyone heard her perfectly."No my bride, you have to be involved in everything pertaining to this kingdom. You are queen, and have to rule by my side.''"Don't blame me if I fall asleep," she told him."You can lean on my shoulder," Alistair told her.October took that as a cue to go sit in his lap, where she curled up and rested her head on his chest.Alistair placed one protective arm around her, before kissing the top of her head."Alistair, my beta and I wish to speak with you in private. Without our mate and bride." Gore said.Harlow glared at Gore, wondering what was so important for her to be left out of talks about the fate of the world.Alistair laughed at his niece's expression, then said. "Very well, but I'm sure you have to answer to Harlow later."October looked up at Alistair. "Yes, you may leave." He told her.Harlow only left because she wanted to know more about the bride of her uncle, and

"If you couldn't take my darkness, what makes you think that you can take theirs? And even so, we both know that, that stone has no true power unless Scarlet is the one using it. So you stole it from her people for no reason at all." Harlow gave a mocking laugh. Before Onyx could come up with a comeback, Harlow took a deep breath, which caused her uncle to levitate off the ground without him noticing. It was after he slowly floated towards her did he take notice and struggle. "I'm also more powerful than your jinn now." Harlow smirked. Onyx laughed, trying to hide his fear, but they were cut off when something invisible wrapped around his neck. His eyes bulged out. He tried to move but couldn't. He struggled then, started to yell, but no words came from his mouth. Harlow gave him a wide smile, baring her fangs. "See how easy it is to kill you, my uncle? Right now you are nothing but a little pest to us all, and we will eradicate all of you that wish to upset the order of things.
