Ann made her way back to her bedroom in silence, her mind whirring with all the thoughts that stemmed from today's revelations.Necromancy wasn't something that Ann was at all familiar with outside of movies and horror stories. To think that Narcissa and Ada were complicit in its use infuriated her beyond words.As soon as she entered the room and the door closed behind her she threw herself on the bed, sighing heavily.What a way to start her reign as Alpha Queen. Being forced to fend off a possible invasion spearheaded by the wicked stepmother and stepsister. Ann snorted to herself softly. It was almost as if her life was embroiled in the midst of a fantasy novel.She grumbled loudly to herself as she pushed herself up and reached for her phone. If anything strange had been happening then it was sure to be in the news, right?Ann scoured as many sites as she could for any possible clue but as far as she could tell there was nothing that would point to any attacks that were out of the
[Mature Content]Ann allowed Adam to gently remove her top and slip her trousers off as she lay sideways on the bed. Her heart felt as though it were about to burst with the almost reverent way that he handled her. His wolf flickered in his eyes as he drank the sight of her near-naked body in, and a soothing rumble emitted from his chest. Ann stared up at this beautiful, yet powerful man as he caressed every inch of her body, his fingertips gentle, yet insistent as he awakened the fire in her belly with ease.She gasped lightly as he bent his head forwards and sealed his mouth around her nipple, flicking gently with his tongue as he slowly traced his fingers around her other breast and gradually slipped it lower, running his fingers around the hem of her panty line, sending delightful shivers of anticipation through her.She struggled not to moan loudly, knowing full well the guards stood just outside their bedroom door, as he moved his mouth to her other breast, the sudden warmth th
The trio had traveled for days with Ely as their guide to see them safely through the treacherous terrain that they had found themselves in. Ada had made the mistake of falling behind due to her exhaustion, but she had been met with nothing but scorn from both her mother and her new-found uncle. There was no sympathy or allowances made for the fact that she was pregnant and unfamiliar with this sort of physical activity. The fact that she hadn't eaten properly for days also seemed to bear no weight with either of them. They had uncaringly left her in an exhausted heap on the floor and carried on without her when her legs gave way and if it hadn't been for Ada's terror at the prospect of becoming a meal for one of the many terrifying wild beasts that roamed the landscape and hid in the shadows at night, she would never have found the willpower to keep moving. Her mother had made it very clear once she caught up with them, that if it happened again, she would leave her behind in
Even in the dim light of the cavern with the shadows grasping greedily around the light, Ada could see her mother blanch suddenly and the briefest flicker of fear crossed her face. "You're lying. It's not possible. He would not…" Narcissa stammered uncertainly as Ely chuckled darkly. "You know very well that he would. Ada is your child and your responsibility. She does not hold the weight of responsibility until she has reached the age of twenty-one and been bound to the coven and the Lord himself." He snorted disdainfully as he flicked his eyes over Narcissa with what seemed like disgust. Narcissa schooled her face into an emotionless mask as his words sank in and Ada couldn't help but wrap her arms around her belly a little tighter. If her mother was afraid, then Ada knew things were bad. "I see you really haven't changed one bit, dear brother. Turned in by my own family… I should have seen it coming." She spat bitterly. "I am simply carrying out orders, sister." Ely grin
"Get out and seal the doors. No one leaves this chamber until I am finished, am I clear?" He growled as Ely scurried backward like a frightened mouse and fled through the doorway, the heavy doors swinging closed with an ear-splitting bang. Before Ada could steal a frightened glance at her mother, the male's boots appeared in front of her limited line of vision again and she felt a slight breeze ripple across her. It was obvious that he had now grabbed Narcissa roughly by the throat and lifted her into the air beside her, as the only thing visible from her position were the tips of her mother's boots dangling above the ground. "Now, Narcissa. It seems you have forgotten the great honor that was bestowed upon you all those years ago." the male chastised in a bored tone over the sounds of Narcissa struggling for breath. His footsteps receded a little and Ada raised her head slightly. It was such a small movement but it allowed her to follow the progress of her mother's feet across
Lexi had wandered with Greyson for a little while, making small talk as she allowed him to take the lead with the direction that they were headed. She found herself pleasantly surprised by his ability to hold a conversation and he didn't seem to fawn over her, nor reject her which intrigued her greatly. Men usually reacted in one of those two ways, and to find one who didn't was indeed a rarity. It did cross her mind briefly that he may indeed be hiding his true feelings about her, but there was no discernible cause to do so in her mind unless it was to try to get information out of her about Ann of course. But, he hadn't brought her up in the conversation until now, so she was hesitant to condemn him so quickly. "Is everything okay?" Greyson asked, stopping suddenly as he noticed her frown and his expression seemed to mirror her own as he frowned back at her in concern. "Er, yeah? Why?" Lexi stammered defensively, a little shocked that he had even noticed. "You're frowni
At the mere sight of him, Lexi suddenly had no desire to tease Allen at this moment in time. Looking at him like this, with the anger rolling off him in waves and the vein pulsing in his neck angrily, he looked dangerous. That was something that she had never seen in him before. She swallowed nervously as he came to a stop before her, his chest heaving with anger. The golden irises of his wolf shone through brightly as he glowered down at her, the cloud of anger almost suffocating her as it seemed to envelop her completely. "What the fuck are you doing here with him?" Allen snarled, with barely suppressed rage as Lexi stared at him, utterly transfixed by the metamorphosis of the quiet, restrained man that she had teased mercilessly to this vision of terrifying anger before her. "I... uh..." she stammered, completely taken aback by his sudden appearance and the whole situation. "Not a good answer, Lexi." He ground out as he took hold of her arm roughly and attempted to pull
Lexi was stunned. She was completely overwhelmed by the sensation of his lips against hers and their insistent movements, as if desperate to claim her as his own. She wanted to lose herself in this moment completely and her heart craved him between her legs but there was something niggling at the back of her mind and it was stopping her from immersing herself completely in the moment. The subtle hum of conversation returned to the room as people carried on as if nothing had happened, but for Lexi, everything had changed. Allen hated her and everything that she stood for, and he infuriated her with his constant pompous demands, so why would he do this now? Was he jealous because she had clicked instantly with Greyson? Greyson, the man who had stepped in to defend her in a heartbeat and didn't seem to give a shit about where she came from or how she acted. As the frantic panic of the thoughts in her mind brought her to her senses, she pushed away from Allen, glaring at
