After leaving Leana, I expected to feel the darkness closing in, but the darkness never came. I miss my mates, I want to return to them, but there’s no darkness inside me. None. When I return home, I search for where Ennata might be, marking off the areas where King Raphael and my father said they’d searched and hadn’t found her. As I look at the map, I begin to see a pattern developing. They may not realize it, but between the two of them, they’re narrowing my search to the north and west of here. There’s another city in that direction, one that I think has the offices where Leana’s family maintains a business. Maybe when Leana comes back, and we deal with my father, we can start there. It’s mid-afternoon when my phone rings. I'm excited, hoping it's Leana telling me she's coming home tonight, but instead of Leana, I see that it's Prince Reyes calling. “Prince Reyes, is everything okay?” I ask. His call is unexpected. “Yes and no. Currently, everything is well, but my father wante

I grab a bathrobe on my way out of the shower, listening to Drake chuckle as I go. I’d be irritated at the soreness in my ass cheek, but I did ask for it. Well, I didn’t know he’d pump his venom into me, but damn it felt good. It just takes Kella longer to heal and the mark will be more significant. I race to the door, as I pull on a bathrobe. When I swing it open to see Riley and Clint standing there. “Hey, sorry, I’m running late. Come in, I’ll get dressed in a hurry, make yourselves at home.” “Nothing like a little nookie in the shower to start your day off right,” Riley says, giving me a knowing look as she walks in. “I couldn’t agree more,” Drake says walking out, completely unperturbed, looking absolutely dashing and completely put together. “Drake Cazien,” he says, introducing himself. “Beta Clint Forte,” Clint says. “Hi, I’m Riley,” Riley says, extending her hand. “A pleasure to meet you, Riley Gunnar, second daughter and third child of Eli and Grace Gunnar, and you as

I stared at my father’s head on the pike for much longer than I would have thought. I didn’t expect to feel sadness at his death, but I do. He deserved what he got, but he was still my father. Once Riley finishes her phone call, we move away from the castle. The vampires will come looking for us tonight and I need to make sure we have a place where we can be safe until the others arrive. “There’s a pack that isn’t far from here, the three of you would be safe there,” I tell Leana. “You mean Alpha Leonardo’s pack? I don’t know that he’ll allow you on his pack lands, Drake,” Leana says, but I already knew that. Alpha Leonardo and my grandfather had an uneasy alliance, but that alliance had improved over time. I’m sure it's gone now that my father killed my grandfather. “I’m sure he won’t, Leana, but you, Betas Clint and Riley will be safe,” I tell her. “I’m not leaving you.” “Leana, you need….” “To stay with you,” she interrupts me. “Don’t make me angry right before we go to war,
Arch Enemies Chapter 54: Leana
I wake early the next morning, ready for the battle that will come today. I take time to enjoy my mate, connecting with him physically and mentally, opening myself to him completely so we can be in tune before tonight. Kella pushes forward, joining us in our lovemaking, making it impossible to know where one of us begins and the other ends. Afterward, we shower and begin to discuss the plans for today. We need to meet up with King Kazimir’s clan but they won’t arrive until after the sun goes down. We’ll have to be careful until they arrive, as it will only be the four of us until then. ‘We’ll hold them off. We’ll have to in order to keep Drake, Riley, and Clint safe,’ Kella says. ‘Don’t tell Riley that,” I say. ‘I’m more worried about Erline finding out I said it. She’s a strong wolf,’ Kella says, talking about Riley’s wolf. ‘She’s a Guardian, same as you. Of course she’s strong,’ I say as I take Drake’s hand and we leave our room. ‘Yeah, but I think Erline is part fox. She’s ver
Arch Enemies Chapter 55: Drake
It was eerie hearing the sound of two Guardians and their wolves speaking together. There was no excitement, no fear in their voices, only an acknowledgement that the war was about to begin. I felt Leana’s power, combined with Riley’s push out and away from us and I heard the screams as the wave of power rolled over the castle, turning the first group of vampires to dust. I leaped into the battle a moment before Clint and Alpha Leonardo did. As one, the three of us created a barrier in front of Leana and Riley while they pulled on their power to strike again. I know the werewolves are at a disadvantage. Besides Leana and maybe Riley, they can’t track our speed, so I take a step ahead of the others and swing my arms, slowing several vampires before leaping on another one to decapitate it. I hear the snarling and snapping of teeth and the hiss of vampires behind me, then more screeching as Leana pushes out her power again, taking out another large group of the attackers. But as I wa
Arch Enemies Chapter 56: Leana
I come awake slowly, trying to remember where I am. I smell ice and know that no matter where I am, I’m with my mate. I feel his lips press against the side of my head. “There she is,” he says softly. “Where are we?” “The castle,” he says. Castle? I open my eyes and see that the room looks like twilight, or maybe it’s dawn, I’m not really sure. “What time is it?” “Early. How do you feel?” I do a quick check of my body, checking in with Kella who is still sleeping. “Good. Hungry.” “I bet you are. Clint went hunting yesterday for both you and Riley. He knew you’d be hungry when you woke.” “Yesterday? How long have a been asleep?” “About 36 hours.” he says and I shoot up to a sitting position, regretting it immediately. My head spins and I lay back down. “You need to eat, love. Let me go get you some food and water. I’ll be right back.” I feel the whoosh of air as he rushes out of the room and almost before I can think that I miss him, he’s back and the smell of food makes m
Arch Enemies Chapter 57: Drake
Over the next week, I establish myself as the new king in this area. I get the castle cleaned out and now that my entire clan is able to be in sunlight, we rip all the heavy curtains off the windows. I keep them since we’ll need them in case anyone ever comes to visit, but for now, we can let the light back into the castle. It changes the entire feel of the place, a place where a favored daughter of the moon could live contentedly. Something else that becomes apparent very quickly is that my clan, just like me, no longer has the insatiable thirst associated with being a vampire. We still don’t eat food, but now, we aren’t bloodthirsty creatures of the night and since there is always a supply of willing humans who enjoy being fed on, everyone wins. I’ve also noticed that while my clan members are behaving themselves, they all seem to take pleasure in my mate’s scent. She, thankfully, has no fear, and they all know that she could vaporize them on the spot, but I don’t like the covetou
Arch Enemies Chapter 58: Leana
We arrive in the city where Holstin Enterprises, Inc. maintains offices the following morning. My family runs a company that does two things, construction and protection. My father, soon to be my brother Xander, is CEO of the company and hires werewolves from other packs or even lone wolves who need work to do the things that we’re good at and can easily do without raising human suspicion. When we arrive, I take the elevator to the 12th floor, the floor where we have offices. My father chose this floor because humans, with their suspicious nature, don’t have elevators that go to the 13th floor. It’s considered bad luck or something but it means that the 12th floor is the only floor other than the first floor with high ceilings. Holstin Enterprises bought the entire floor and has housed transient wolves as well as others who need a safe place to stay for a long time. “Are you ready for this?” I ask Drake in the elevator. “I’m the one who wanted you to tell your mother about me. I kne
