Chapter SeventyCleo’s POVMy eyes fluttered open as the sunlight beamed into the room through the open blinds. Rolling over, I found the bed empty. Roman’s side had been made and was stone cold. Worrying I’d overslept, I checked the time on my phone only to find a message from the missing man himself.‘I didn’t want to wake you, but I have a few things I need to take care of today. I’ll be back in time for tea, have a good day, and remember I love you.’Smiling to myself, I placed the phone back down. As I went to swing my legs over, a light knock came from the door.“Can I come in?” Angel’s voice came from the door's other side, causing my stomach to form in knots. I knew I’d have to face her today, but I’d at least hoped to have some coffee in my system first.“Of course. Is there something wrong?”“Actually, there is, the wedding….“ I couldn’t decipher the look she was giving me, which worried me.“Roman told you, didn’t he? I’m sorry if I sound like an ungrateful bitch.” And I tr
Roman’s POVTonight everything would change. Not only would we become husband and wife, but we would gain the titles of King and Queen.I wasn’t normally a nervous man, but today, I was. Today my heart beat wildly in my chest as I counted down the hours until it finally was time. Standing alone under the wooden archway, I fiddled with my fingers, my palms becoming sweaty. There was no doubt whatsoever in my mind I wanted this, so why was I nervous?I had hoped Kai would be back by now, I’d wished to have him stand at my side as my best man, but I understood his situation. He had lost his other half, his reason for living, and had that been Cleo, I knew I wouldn’t survive.Watching out over all the faces in the crowd, I tried my best to remain calm. Balthazar spoke words of encouragement in my mind, but it wasn’t helping. Taking a deep breath, I looked up to the moon and prayed that, for once, Cleo would be on time. I didn’t mind waiting on the woman any other time, but not tonight. If
Cleo’s POVAs Angel took her place on the front row of seats, Axel stood with Roman and me. This would be his first act as the leader of the newly formed council, but to look at his face, you wouldn’t think it. He looked more confident than I had ever seen him. If Athena were looking down, she would be proud of her mate for serving her justice and rebuilding after so much loss.The regular couple would now enjoy their reception, eat, dance and be merry, but we had one more ceremony to complete before we could enjoy the remainder of the evening. I was scared shitless, but I knew I could do it with Roman at my side.“Evening, everyone. As you are all aware, tonight is special for multiple reasons. Not only has my son married his beautiful mate, but he will also take his place as our new reigning King. A role of such power is earned, not just born into. Roman and Cleo have shown us time and time again that they are more than equipped to handle anything that’s thrown their way. This new l
Cleo’s POVDeep in the forest of goddess only knows where…“Come on we have to keep running. Daphne they are going to catch up if we don’t. Please get up” My lungs burned as I screamed for her to move.“Just go I’m slowing you down as it is. You stand a better chance on your own”“I didn’t bail on you when that fight kicked off and I’m not bailing on you now. So get up”“Bitch you started that fight”“But did I bail on you? No because sisters stick together. Ride or die bitch so please come on” Daphne rolled her eyes and sighed knowing I wouldn’t carry on unless she was with me. Not only was she my sister, but she was also my best friend. She had stuck by my side for the last few months, and I would stay by hers no matter the consequences. Placing her arm over my shoulders I took the brunt of her weight enabling her to move that little bit faster. She had broken her leg when a group of rogues chased us. We were running so fast that neither of us saw the cliffs edge until it was too la
Cleo’s POV“Hello dear, you must be Cleo. It’s nice to meet you, I’m Agatha.” I must have stood there looking like a right dimwit. She just caught me off guard. I mean I always envisioned witches to be old and to have big pointy noses, maybe even a wart or two. In other words, I had completely envisioned Nanny McPhee. But here she was standing in front of me looking like a super model. She couldn’t have been any older than her early twenties. Her hair jet black only she had amethyst eyes. Agatha’s eyes were what made her differ from other witches. Amethyst belonged to witches that could see into the future, where your ‘normal’ witch had green cat’s eyes.“Erm hi… how do you”“How do I know who you are?” I just nodded in response as I stood there totally stunned, though I don’t know why it shocked me. Let’s face it, there could have been a number of ways for her to know who I was “I’ve been expecting you. Here come take a seat we have much to discuss” the feeling of dread formed in my
Romans POV“What else can you tell me about her” having arrived at the Elderwood pack I sought out the only witch around after having found out she lived on the outskirts of the town. Agatha couldn’t tell me where my mate went except for she darted out of the building when she found out I was her mate. I had involved myself heavily with my father’s company from a young age so I could spot a liar a mile away. That’s how I knew given a little bit of pressure the witch would crack.“I promise you I’ve told you everything. I don’t know anything else” she squirmed as my hands tightened around her neck.“Now we both know that’s not true. Don’t we Agatha Brentwell. Yes, I know all about who you are. I know that you turned your family’s coven over to the witch’s council for sacrificing children. I know that your husband left you when he found out what you were, and I know your daughter stripped herself of her powers so she couldn’t be tied to your blood coven or to you as a matter of fact. Bl
Cleo’s POVWe had spent the last six months searching for a coven of witches that would be able to tell me why my blood had been spelled. Something I learned from my wolf Freya. She came to me as the full mood hit its apex. I’d never experienced pain quite like it. I’d broken bones and injured myself countless of times, but never did the pain feel like it had when I shifted. The feeling of my bones snapping and rearranging was excruciating. Though once it was over a sense of pride flowed over me. Freya was bigger than the standard wolf and she was also a rusty colour with a white crescent moon between the eyes. I’d asked her what it meant and all she could tell me was that we were special. That our true parents had ‘special blood’, blood that ran through my veins. See after mine and my sisters chat, we went to see our Alpha before leaving our pack and saying goodbye forever. Let’s just say he was an arrogant ass. I mean yeh sure we were able to get hold of the adoption paperwork, but
Cleo’s POVAs he pressed the tip of his hardened beast to my lips fear coursed through me. I know I had a big mouth, but there was no way that was going to fit anywhere inside me.“You don’t need to fear it. I assure you it doesn’t bite. Only I do” the lustful look in his eyes had me gripping him with both hands. There was no way this could be done with one. Sticking my tongue out I held his cock up and licked from his balls to the tip giving it a teasing kiss on the sensitive spot. The way he stifled his own moan spurred me on. Swallowing my fear, I slowly begun to suck it. Taking him fully into my mouth I gagged when it hit the back of my throat causing it to restrict. As I went to pull away and breathe Todd held my head holding it in place. My nose was flush against his pelvis as he began rocking his hips pushing himself further down my throat. The force of him thrusting into my mouth left my eyes burning with tears. It wasn’t long until I felt his warm seed slide down my throat, i
