[Gia’s POV]After revealing the details from the moment my hands touched Sam’s chest, when we first met, to what occurred in bed a few hours ago, we all sat quietly for a few minutes, while Trinity stared at me in deep contemplation. “May I touch your mate’s hand,” Trinity asked my mates. They gave him a yes nod. He brought his chair in front of me, reached his hand out and I placed my hand in his large hand. The moment our skin made contact the room when pitch black around me. I could no longer see any of them. Thankfully I had gotten over my fear of the dark years ago, but it is still unsettling being in this situation. I reached my arms out to try to find anything, but the darkness felt void of any surfaces or objects. Maybe this is part of his process, I thought to myself.As I stood there, trying to allow my eyes to adjust, I felt a slight breeze tickle my neck. Turning my head in the direction of it, I saw a faint light appear. Deciding to move towards the light, I began to ta
[Gia’s POV]While laying with their bloodied bodies thoughts of joining them consumed me. Demons ran past me chasing stray humans. Some were occasionally caught, and the demons fed upon their flesh. The gruesome scenes were nothing anymore to the horror of losing my family.I turned my head from the beautiful and fading faces of Dante, Max, Damen, and Sam, to the stars above me. Time continued to pass by as I watched the stars slowly move through the night sky.While studying the stars, so many questions ran through my mind. How could this happen? What about the Gods and Goddesses, why would they abandon us in our greatest collective need? Why didn’t I fight harder? Why did I give in so easily to Kali? Where was the avatar? Why, why, and why?The stars kept shifting, but I noticed that one star remained in place. Focusing all my attention on that one star, with tears streaming down my face, I started to pray. I have no idea if any gods or goddesses will hear me, but I could not come u
[Max’s POV]The moment Trinity touched my mate’s hand, her head fell back, her eyes flipped open, and her eyes became all white. Damen, Sam, and I rushed to hold her in place.“Don’t let her move, it will break the connection,” Trinity whispered to us, while a strange electric blue aura surrounded us from the ground up. The tension in the room from us and our men is incalculable, as we all worry for her safety.“Is it Kali again,” Sam asks with panic in his voice. Never have I known a vampire to panic until now, and all of us are using all our might to push the fear down. “No, this is something else completely.She seems to be a seer of some kind, but her energy is far different than anything I have encountered thus far,” Trinity explains. “Can you see anything that is happening from her mind,” Damen inquires as he strokes her left forearm that he is holding. “The visuals and sounds are extraordinary. I need to concentrate on her more though,” Trinity said with a hint that we should k
[Sam’s POV]The revelations we learned tonight weighed on my mind. Our mate is being pursued by the most dangerous beast we now know. I got up from the bed and watched as Damen moved closer to her to spoon her as she lay sandwiched between him and Max. My kind does not need sleep. Having been around for so many years, I have learned to allow my mind to meditate, somewhat like sleep, but I don’t do it often. Thirst on the other hand is something that we do need to satisfy. Feeling the dryness of my throat and the need to consume, I left our room for the kitchen, where we have a separate refrigerator full of blood bottles. Blood bags feel so cheap, so I have my staff stock up on the more expensive blood, which comes in decorative wine bottles. The blood is harvested mainly from criminals, as our treaty pact does not allow for innocent blood to be spilled, without consent, for consumption in our area. Occasionally, some humans volunteer their blood, but it has become less of a practi
[Sam’s POV] My mate brings her lips into mine and they ignite in the most intoxicating sparks. Unable to hold back any longer, I rub my painfully erect cock against her dripping-wet pussy before I plunge it deep into her. Her moans fill my mouth and take me over completely. As I continue to slide in and out of her tightness, Max growls and places a finger inside her delicate ass. The unexpected intrusion causes her to jerk harder onto my manhood. She relaxes as we both stroke inside of her. Suddenly, I feel Damen’s hardened bulge rub against my behind, causing a rippling of anticipation and my cheeks to part for him. I slowed down my thrusting for Damen to fill me with his length. [Max’s POV] Feeling her arousal as if it is my own has my tip dripping with pre cum. Switching hands, I slowly drive two fingers into her essence that is currently occupied by Sam’s dick, and the gentle stretching causes her to lay her back into my chest. She is so tight, and we want to take ou
[Gia’s POV] After going over the plans for the ceremony, I spent a couple of hours being sized and choosing practically a whole new wardrobe, including the most elegant sapphire ceremonial dress. It is simple yet has exquisite detailing. We went to a small café that had a fiddler playing bubbly music that had us all feeling happy. My mates kept their promise and took us to the beach. Hearing the waves crashing along the shore and feeling the sun radiating on me had my heart feeling at peace. They set up huge umbrellas in the sand. I laid our towels down and helped Dante with his sunscreen. Damen and Sam scooped him up to go play in the water, as Max removed his shirt, and I licked my lips as my eyes trailed down his well-sculpted abs. “Are you liking the view,” he said as he caught my roaming eyes on him. “It is my favorite view,” I teased at him. “After this evening you will be the Luna to this pack and Queen of the Tri-City. How are you feeling about all of this, my doe,” he ask
[Sam’s POV]When we pulled up to the mansion Stefan telepathically informed me that there was an attack in one of the small villages closest to my border. I sent him and Vinny to stay with Gia and Dante to keep them safe. Max also mind-linked me and said the same thing happened near his and Damen’s borders as well. This must be a coordinated attack. After making sure Gia and Dante got inside safely, Damen sat in the driver’s seat, and we drove down a short way to let Max out so that he could shift and run to investigate near his border. We took the link road, that runs in a circle through each of our territories. I got out of the car near my border and ran to meet up with some of my warriors who cleared the area. Everyone was put on lockdown until we make sure that all areas are safe. The leader of the nearby village met with me on his side of the border. The villages are small and consist mainly of farmers and craftspeople. The villages are sovereign territories, yet our lands pro
[Josiah’s POV] Kali was meticulous in planning his attacks to stay under the radar of supernatural leaders and councils of North America. During our time with him, we learned that he had already built a base of operations in Minnesota, as he sensed the presence of an important being there that he was hunting.Chelsea and I were required to lure and capture weak-minded beings to seek information on the special being and to build and feed his army. Initially, we were ordered to go on missions together. However, during a mission in Ohio, we made the mistake of trying to escape and for our punishment, torture was not enough.We were tortured in his mobile psycho chamber, which he kept in an RV that was ever present in his line of vehicles that we all traveled with. Afterward, as we lay at his feet bloodied and broken, he instructed that we were to be separated during missions.Chelsea would have to steal mates of high interest to Kali, by luring them with her beauty and then bringing the
