Urge: a strong desire or impulse.Nero"Hunt, then fuck," I told Tessa before wrapping her in my arms, not wanting my little killer's mind to wander too far into her blood frenzy. I needed her calm. I didn't anticipate that watching her half-brother crumble with his life story would awaken the affectionate side of her. Seemed that brotherly love was there, and I can see that the realization was shocking the balance of her emotional nothingness."I want to bring my new toys."I cupped her face, my thumb was caressing her cheek before kissing the tip of her nose. "I'm sorry, love, we can't bring that big toy, how about your Baretta or Glock? The place will be tight, you'd want to move freely while aiming your gun.""Huh, didn't think of that. I wanted to try my bigger toys. How about we pull aside and use those Russians for some target practice?" She gave me her wicked smile and I laughed."Go on, pack your toy bag. I need to talk to Aldrich and Marius." I kissed her cheek and left her s

Feelings: an emotional state or reaction; a sensitivity to or intuitive understanding of; a belief, especially a vague or irrational one.Nero"So, now...let's go on to the good part." Tessa grinned when she grabbed and started unbuttoning my shirt."When she said that she wanted me to wait I was not happy, though I keep that feeling bottled up and told her I will wait. Anything for her. When she told me that she didn't recognize her feelings, I too reacted the same way about my feelings for her.From the day I saw her to months later when I was falling deeper in love with her. It was a whole other sensation from what I used to feel for Irina, my previous queen that I had vowed to love forever.After I was done caring for Marshall, I told Marius to watch over him. The youngling was resting when I left him. He was confused but most of all he was angry for being forced into fighting in the cage. The small amount of time that we speak didn't explain much of his past, but we will have more

Half-breed: a person whose parents are of different races, of, relating to, or designating offspring of people or animals of different races or breeds.VesperThe half-breed tasted too fucking sweet, his scent was too irresistible. I know that Aldrich told me that my fixation with werewolves will one day get me into trouble because King Nero will never allow one of his children to be with the lesser breed species.Well, I guess if any of his children would mess up it'll be me. I could never follow orders, always have been the little rebel though there was nothing little about me. And because once I taste the guy, I couldn't get enough of him. It took all of me to peel myself away from him and let Wolfie sleep it off. The poor guy was inches away from killing himself the night before. I would never push anyone to decide their fate. If they want to die, I would never tell them otherwise. Though in Lowell's case, I took precautions because Tessa will be upset if her newfound half-brother

Preference: a greater liking for one alternative over another or others.TessaI was in the middle of an early dinner when I was contacted by Chad, my handler for the Albanian mob. He was telling me that they have a job for me. It had been too long since I'd done work for them, mainly because I was busy with my King. But lately, because I was busy with my half-brother. I've calmed down since the hit at the cage fight. Then I've been busy with Marshall, the issue with the sired son Nero told me was ours still left me speechless.Also, there was the inner turmoil that still hadn't made me decide what to do about Lowell, my half-brother. The guy was still held against his wishes here at the den. It was wrong, I should never have held someone without certainty of their fate. I never had this many feelings swarming around in my mind that made my head ache."You want me to go where?" I asked Chad when the line was disrupted for a second. My appetite was gone when I took the last bite of my m

Rescue: save (someone) from a dangerous or distressing situation.NeroWhen I woke up Tessa was already gone, there was no note but I saw a text on my phone from her informing me that she was out with my human guards, taking one of my cars. She was seeking information on Yubkin. I didn't like it but at least she went with my human guards and this was not the first time she went out with them to do her own thing. I trust that she was more than capable of defending herselfAfter getting dressed I went straight to Marshall's room. I was still feeding him when Aldrich burst into the room, seeing his face made me realize something bad was going on and instinctively my mind went straight to Tessa."Give me a minute, send Marius in, and tell Vesper I need him." I paused to press a gentle kiss on Marshall's forehead. "My son, I need to go. One of your brothers, Vesper, is going to attend to you while I'm gone."Marshall looked at me, he didn't stop sucking on my wrist until I tilted his chin a
