Chapter 57: Drake
CooperSorry for the delay in getting this chapter out. It's crossing timeframes with both Shattered Bonds and Spellbound, so I wanted to get my times right. If you missed it, the funeral was for Alpha Anders and Luna Calista.

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
Arch Enemies Chapter 59: Drake
The moment the witches walk into the room, they recognize me for what I am. I stand quickly, but not faster than my mate who jumps in front of me, snarling viciously. I can tell the difference between Kella and Leana now and I know when the two of them are working together as they are right now. “Easy,” Alpha Liam says, putting his hands up. “King Drake is my daughter’s mate. He’s on our side and if you kill him, it will be an act against the Guardians.” “We understand that our alliance is new and tentative, but we wouldn’t have asked you to join us if we didn’t trust Drake. Please think carefully before ruining the tentative bond we've created by trying to hurt him,” Guardian Angel says, moving to stand in front of me and partially in front of her daughter. I notice she said 'trying' to hurt him, meaning, they have no intention of letting the witches hurt me. I already didn’t like it that Leana was standing in front of me, but I really don’t like both of them in front of me. I’m no
Arch Enemies Chapter 60: Leana
As soon as the house that Levana uses as her coven comes into view, the desire to turn away is gone. Drake and I carefully make our way to the front of the house. “It looks a lot like a vampire’s dwelling, only smaller,” Drake says. “I can smell the magic,” Kella says, pushing forward. “Do you sense any danger?” Drake asks, looking around and lifting his nose in the air. “No, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t witchy traps that I’ve never smelled before,” Kella says. “Avery and Amir didn’t mention anything like that,” he says as we walk to the door. “I’ll go first,” he says, reaching for the door. “Drake…” He turns and looks at me. “I’m already dead, my mates. You are not. I will go first.” I roll my eyes but he’s inside before I’m done. I rush in behind him, stepping up beside him. “That kitchen doesn’t smell like anything I’ve ever smelled before,” I say, my nose wrinkling. “That’s not food they’ve been cooking, it’s spells.” We begin to search through the first floor of
Arch Enemies Chapter 61: Drake
It took Alpha Leonardo almost exactly three hours to arrive. In that time, Jael found a couple bags of blood, but he is still weak. I’ve caught him staring at Leana a couple of times. The first time I snarled at him, the second, I grabbed him by his throat, letting my nails puncture his skin. “I wasn’t joking, Jael. If one drop of her blood spills because of you, your life if forfeit.” “I’m not, but I can’t help that she smells so damn good,” he grumbles as I release him. “He really is your mate,” I hear one of the wolves say to Leana. “He is,” she tells them. “I’ve never seen a vampire mated to a werewolf,” another says. “There hasn’t been a mate bond like ours in a very long time,” she tells them. “Sire, what can I do for you,” Demetrius asks me, distracting me from Leana’s conversation with the wolves. “You can rest. Once Alpha Leonardo arrives to care for his pack members, we’ll finish searching the house. After that, we’ll head home and I’ll make sure that you are fed.” “
Arch Enemies Chapter 62: Leana
After Mehira passed out, Alpha Leonardo got his people packed up and back on the road to get them home. As they walked out, I heard one of the men that we rescued make a negative comment about having a vampire for a Luna. “A word of advice,” I say, leaning into the car where he and the others are sitting. “I’ve never known an Alpha to tolerate anyone, let alone a pack member, who disrespected his mate and Luna. She may be a vampire, but she’s a vampire that just risked her life to save your Alpha. If, for some reason, you piss your Alpha off by disrespecting Mehira, and that causes him to kick you out of the pack, don’t come looking for protection from the Guardians. We don’t provide it to anyone who goes against our allies or our mates.” As I stand back, I can see the others who just arrived giving the guy a questioning look. “Feel free to spread the word,” I say as I close the door and head back inside. As I walk up, I see Drake watching me. “You didn’t have to do that.” “Yes I
Arch Enemies Chapter 63: Drake
When I told my mate that I wanted to savor her taste, I wasn’t kidding. After dropping off Alpha Leonardo, Mehira and Jaeloff at the pack, Leana, Demetrius, and I all head back to the coven. Demetrius is welcomed with open arms by most of the clan and I tell them they can bring in willing humans to celebrate his return. The party rages through the night as does my insatiable appetite for my mate. I love that she wants me inside her. She and Kella both seem to understand my vampire desire to feed and fuck, and she gives me everything that I need and want from her. The next day, we check on the humans, making sure none of the vampires went too far and then we pull out the address I found in Levana's coven and then g****e search the address. As we’re looking at an arial view of the area the map is showing, my phone rings. Without looking away from the computer screen, I answer. “King Drake.” “Drake, why are you stealing my best clan members?” King Reyes asks. While his tone is jokin
Arch Enemies Chapter 64: Leana
Drake is as excited about our pup as I was hoping he would be. He says he can’t smell him or her yet, but now he’s sniffing me multiple times a day, making me laugh at his sweet antics. I decided on steaks for dinner when my parents come over. Knowing that I need to keep my iron levels up for Drake and our pup now, red meat has become a daily occurrence in my diet. Drake and I have spent this week looking for a new place to live and I’ve been setting up my new office at the council. I’m very excited to begin my new position. We have sessions starting next week and when I talked to Riley, she wanted to know if I had any ideas about where she could stay when she’s in town. It gave me the perfect excuse to not sell our little apartment. This way, Riley or any of the Guardians can use it when they come to town. When I told Drake we needed a bigger place, I hadn’t meant a 5000 square foot home on 10 acres, but he’s been looking for places just outside the city, in between the city and t
Arch Enemies Chapter 65: Drake
Alpha Liam took the opportunity while we were alone to let me know that if I hurt his daughter or grandchildren in any way, that he would hunt me down like the Alpha wolf he is and kill me. I made sure he understood that I recognize the precious gift that has been given to me and that I appreciate the benefits that come from being mated to his daughter, but that I would love her, even if she didn’t come with those gifts. “So, a baby, huh?” he asks. “Yes, Alpha.” He looks at me a long moment. “Call me Liam. You’re my daughter’s mate and my grandchildren’s father.” “Thank you, Liam.” “Make sure you bring Leana to the pack to have her and the baby looked at soon.” “I will.” He nods and looks around. “You did a nice job choosing this place. She’ll be happy here. You’ll be hard pressed not to have a revolving door of guests with a nice place like this. A place where wolves can run.” “Thank you, I want Leana to always be happy with me and to never have a reason to regret her decisio
