I send the guys upstairs, while Aurora and I sit on the sofa and wait for her victims to wake up. She leans against me with a content sigh, “Was it difficult getting them here?”“It was too easy,” I chuckle. “I was hoping for a bit of a challenge, but the less inconspicuous we are, the better.” I kiss the top of her head, “Thankyou for agreeing to do both of them at the same time, I fear if we stretch this out for too long, the emperor will find out before we are finished. The judge’s wife has probably already alerted the empire of his disappearance, and the doctor is a busy man with a lot of patients, I’m sure he is being searched for already.”She nods, “I understand. I originally planned to kill these two quickly anyway,” she motions to the two unconscious men currently tied to chairs in front of us. “I won’t lie though and say I’m not a little disappointed I can’t carry out what I had planned for Gregory and Petra.”Every time she says their names my entire body tenses with pure h

I stare down at the now lifeless body I’m straddling, a slight sense of satisfaction filling me. I let out a long sigh, “that’s better.” I barely pay attention to Dr. Maddox’s wailing cries as I soak in the feeling of taking the life of one of the men who took mine. Memories of long, dark nights in the freezing dungeon come back to me, maybe I can finally move forward from the horrors of my time there. Though I guess only time will tell; my nightmares may have lessened since finding Samael, but what if getting revenge and having my mate is not enough to bury the years of built up trauma? What if I never truly get the pieces of myself back… back from the Stallards, back from that dungeon, back from the inn where I was defiled for the first time. What if I stay trapped in all those places, never able to move away from it all, never able to let go… My breathing hitches as memories flood my mind, destroying the cage I built for them while I was rotting in the dungeon, and leaving me gas

The room goes quiet, the only sound is his blood dripping onto the floor. I stand up, looking down at the two dead bodies slumped over in their chairs, and a smile forms on my face. That was a lot more emotional than I expected it to be but also quite enjoyable. Holding their lives in my hands made me feel invincible, and I know that is wrong, but I’m excited to do it again tomorrow.I notice my shirt is covered in blood, so I remove it, turning to face Samael, who’s dark eyes are filled with a burning desire for me. It seems he found it enjoyable as well, judging by the bulge in his pants.“Take your clothes off,” I order him, and he obeys so quickly he’s a blur. I lick my lips as he leans his naked body back into the cushions, one arm stretched across the back of the sofa, the other gripping his enormous cock, sliding it up and down his length like he’s getting it ready for me.I remove the rest of my clothes, loving the way his eyes follow every move I make, roaming over my naked b

A girl runs around the corner from the kitchen, her blonde hair askew. When she spots us, she opens her mouth preparing to scream. I use my speed to run to her, clamping a hand over her mouth, and stopping her from making a sound.She looks up at me with wide fearful eyes, and I realize she looks to be about my age… none of Gregory and Petra’s children are that old yet.“Are you…” I don’t know what her situation is, or why she is here, but I get the feeling it’s not good. “Do you need help?” I ask her, hoping she will trust me even though she has no reason to.My hand is still tight over her mouth, so she nods slowly. I glance back at Samael who just shrugs. Fuck. I wasn’t anticipating this.“I’m going to remove my hand, but if you make a sound, I will make you regret it,” I warn her.“*Goddess, Aurora, threatening her won’t make her trust you any easier,*” Danika scolds me.“*I don’t know who she is, what if I don’t want her to trust me?*” I argue back.Danika sighs, “*she’s just a s

“Baby, would you come here please?”Samael joins my side, immediately snaking his arm around my waist as if he has been dying to touch me this whole time. I look up at him with a warm smile, “I think you deserve a moment with the man who enjoyed what was rightfully yours.” I turn back to Gregory, who stares at me pleadingly, and smirk at him.“As you know, this is Samael Dema, the vampire king. He’s my mate, the person created just for me by the Moon Goddess, Selene. Can you believe that daddy? A king, who worships the ground I walk on.”I trail my fingers along my mark on Samael’s neck, “See this, it’s a werewolf’s mark, this let’s Samael feel everything I feel, which can be both a blessing and a burden, because he feels my rage and my pain from the things I went through here, the things you put me through.”“My king,” I place a kiss on Samael’s cheek, “take what you want from him, just keep him alive for me.”“I thought you wanted me to only drink from you?” He asks in surprise. “O
