Chapter 31 Samuel After our sparring match and then our bedroom wrestling, I felt completely drained but at the same fully energized. Coming out of my closet, I watched my mate getting herself dressed for the day. Where I looked like I was preparing for a hostile takeover of the world, my mate looked like she was ready to curl up with a good book and a glass of wine. But for some reason she still looked elegant and a badass warrior. Walking up behind her I draw her body into me and nuzzle her neck. I badly wanted to do nothing more than to draw her back to bed and tuck us back in for the week. But knowing my mate and feeling her stress and anxiety I could tell that would not go over very well. As she finished getting dressed I grew even more in love with her as she instead of falling to her own wants and needs, of sleep and hunger she was more worried about ensuring that her tasks were done to ensure that others are taken care of

Chapter 33 Celeste Weeks ago I had finally after many decades heard that the queen had arisen. I had felt her birth hours before I had heard that she had finally been born. I had anxiously awaited the call that would inevitably come in saying that I was needed to relocate the Coven. I knew this wouldn’t be much of an issue for the coven as we relocated every so often to throw off suspicion. Our kind feared being found again. The last time being of the famous Witch trials. Since then many of us have gone underground, some of us literally as I did know of a close coven that operates completely underground in bunkers and caves. “Amethyst, call the coven we need to prepare them for the move.” I told my assistant. “Yes mother. How long should we prepare for?” “We need to be moving in a week. It shouldn’t take long to get there but we will be making that place a permanent residence. I still do not know exactly what amenities that

Chapter 35 CelesteI helped to settle in my warriors on the bottom floor, assigning rooms based on rank and families. After ensuring each warrior was secured into his room I went all the way to the top floor to secure my room. I was still unsure if I would keep the room as it was far too big for myself. I had no family, nor had I had any family remaining. Once in my room I took a look around the area. I like that it had a large office area for me to do the work that I would need to attend to. There was no doubt I would need to attend. Not only would I have to attend to the Royal duties but I would also have to attend to my Covens. With the workload it would be important for me to have a room just for my craft.Having a good look around I had decided that I would give it to one of my Coven members with a large family. For me this room was too large and cleaning alone would end up being a full time job. Maybe I would make it a community room, for company or Coven meetings. But I would b

Chapter 37 LeviHeading into dinner I wanted to get my father off to the side to talk to him about opening a school. We never really needed a school for the younger children before due to not having any children in the area. But now that Samuel’s pack was getting moved in, the witches were already moved in, and soon we would be having more children moving in, so we needed to offer the option to host a school for the school age children. I had also noticed that while on patrolls with Roman that there were more rogues flocking towards the area. I had seen several camps setting up around the area. Where there were camps, there were children. “Dad! Hey Dad.” I said when I walked into the dining room and saw him talking to Samuel's father.“I will talk to you in a second, Raymond. What is it you wanted to talk to me about Levi?” He asked me.“Dad, I would like to start up that school that I have been talking about for years. We don’t need much to get it started as the b

Chapter 39 LucyI was just surviving at this point. Not that I really wanted to or had any control over it. I wanted nothing more than just to die. But every time I tried I was brought right back by my mother or Celeste. Those women saved me, but they also cursed me to relive every night of my horror.Every night I closed my eyes I could see and hear the other women screaming and the smacking of groins to asses. The putrid smell would always come back to me and make me want to vomit. Yet the worst was the sounds of babies crying. On the bad nights, I could hear the babies crying from being born. While the mother screams for her baby being born. On the worst of nights, it was my baby being ripped from my grasp as I had given birth early and was still in my cell. When they came to my cell I had already begun to nurse my sweet baby girl. I didn’t know exactly who the father was. Every month the men would rotate. You would be given one male for one month. They would come
