Adiyan’s POVXynathius stood before me but seemed extremely distraught and even saddened. I ignored his half-cooked greeting and jumped to the point. “What did you do to her?” If I could bore a hole into him with just my eyes I would have done that by now. “Come inside and we will talk?” he requested, there was this sorrow deeply embedded in his swirling black eyes. He pointed towards the door of what I was guessing was his house. I glared at him for a while before slowly walking forward as he opened the door for me. We stepped inside the warmth-filled home and it screamed of Karica. Looking around I could tell this was her house, her taste. A comforting sensation filled me to be this close to her again. “Hey! I am glad you are here. Thanks for coming man,” Kilran had gotten up from one of the sofas and approached me. We hugged. “I will always come when it involves her,” I straightforwardly stated not caring for anyone’s reaction. I was introduced to another man, their king Tha
Xynathius’s POVSeeing that pendant opened whole new possibilities. Every instinct in my body screamed that this indeed was the same key Karica had told me about. She must have seen it with him. Karica trusted him and it was only going to be a matter of time before I would have to build the same trust and show him what I had never even done with my people.I mind-linked Kamryn and told him to keep everyone away from the house. Thadieus had an urgent call so he left with Shaline with the promise of returning the next day. Asking Adiyan to wait I rushed upstairs to fetch the Tome of Prophecy I kept hidden in a special compartment. I had that made when our house was built. Opening the door, I was hit by her mesmerising scent that still lingered in our room. All those emotions I was keeping hidden came crashing down on me and my knees shook. I closed my eyes, my hand tightly clutching the doorknob as I slowly exhaled. Hoping I could let out those crippling feelings too. Burying the m
Vildus’s POVKarica was more than everything I had hoped for. Not only was my mate extremely beautiful but also exquisite, as she settled into the bathtub I observed her tattooed back. What a brave mate I had, how she had embraced her scars. Sudden pride surged through me as I stripped and joined her in the bathtub. Adjusting her between my legs, I began to thoroughly wash her, cleansing her from the scent of that runt. Her body reacted to the slightest of my touches and I fully wanted to own her. But she wasn't ready for that, her mind was under my control and pushing her any further would wreck her permanently. I would take my sweet time corrupting her until she would stop resisting me. There was going to be no escape from me, the sooner she understood the quicker all her miseries would end. Resistance against my mind control was futile. My hands explored every inch of her ravishingly creamy skin, especially the softness between her thighs. Her head rolled on my shoulder and h
Karica’s POVThe fog from my mind lifted slowly and every emotion began to flit back into me. I blinked letting my senses settle and the nightmare I had been submerged in became worse. Tied securely on a bed from my ankles and wrists, I had been dressed like a slut to fulfil his lewd kinks. My head was fixed in a position so I couldn't even look in any other direction but straight. My eyes found him standing right in front with a girl between his legs and a boy undressing him. The rage that torrented through me made me scream out. Disgust and abhorrence had new names for me today and those were, Vildus. As all the memories of the past day flashed before me. All his disgusting touches, the way he fed on me, sickened me to my stomach. “You bloody asshole, untie me,” I screamed, having to have found my voice as I struggled with cuffs and chains holding me down. The tears of frustration were building up inside of me. Those cold satanic eyes of his squeezed shut at my words and when h
Xynathius’s POVThe haunting words of the prophecy hammered into my brain again and again. She had three mates, it was clearly stated. Even that abomination, Vildus was her mate. How could Selene be so cruel as to pin her with someone like him? Although the prophecy revealed we would have some long-sought peace I knew none of us was going to emerge victorious. Two out of three of us were going to die and Karica was going to be left heartbroken. I knew I would go to any length to keep her safe, even if that meant dying I wouldn't even hesitate. The real question was who was going to survive? I would be damned if it was Vildus. The rage was consuming me as I lay down on my bed and stared at the ceiling of our room.Her scent was fading from our space but it still lingered, her clothes in the cupboard would be rich in it. ‘I wish we could have our mate back in our arms. This emptiness she has left behind will never fill,’ Zilver whined in my head and I couldn't agree more. ‘Let’s ju
Romello’s POVOur master had finally gotten his mate and it was monumental in the plans he had for vampires. I could sense his mate was strong, she had this air about herself which demanded respect. I was asked to help carry out a complete ancestral DNA test and blood test. So I brought the doctor who my master had hired in case of emergencies along and went to their room. Knocking on the door we waited. “Enter,” the voice of our master boomed from the room. Opening the door we quietly made our way inside. Our master was waiting beside his mate as she was seated comfortably on a wingback chair. Her eyes seemed a bit hazy as she smiled at us. It showed that she was under his mind's control, she mustn't be very genial so far. “Good morning, I hope you are having a pleasant time,” the doctor greeted them. He had been working for us for quite some time now and understood our ways. “We are, I need these results as soon as possible,” Master instructed while turning his attention towards
Karica’s POVSharp stinging pains from being clawed by that vicious creature woke me up. As my mind registered what Vildus had done, I shuddered at his cruelty. Vampires were indeed vile creatures. There was no doubt in my heart that Vildus was incapable of showing mercy and my body jolted at the thought of getting raped or birthing a child with him. I missed Xynathius and my baby girl, tears leaked from my eyes as I lay on that bed helplessly, broken and in pain. I desperately wanted to hold my little Minerva. “How the tables have turned. You wanted me dead and now look at you,” Xui Lin’s sneer sounded loud in my ears and I turned my head to find her sitting nearby. I had thought of her as a friend at some point. She disgusted me, two-faced people always did. “At least I never stabbed someone in the back,” I countered, holding abhorrence and making sure she saw it. She leaned closer, her repugnant breath and wrinkled face were right above my face. “Be grateful our Master wants y
Xynathius’s POVWe were heading to the East Continent for a meeting with Witch Queen Mera and the vampire lord called Byron. Alliances would be formed or it could end in disaster, a war would ensue if no verdict was reached. Adiyan accompanied us while his grandmother stayed behind, just in case vampires decided to do something outrageous again. The hardest part was leaving Minerva behind. With Karica gone, she didn't want me to be out of her sight. She played with Adiyan and had quickly become attached to him but he was also going with us.“Don’t worry, Melsine and I will keep her safe,” Mom patted my shoulder as I watched the tiny figure of my sleeping bundle of joy. “Call me, in case she gets too cranky. I will try to wrap it up and return as soon as I can,” I told Mom and bent down to kiss my daughter’s head. My heart bled at the prospect of leaving her behind. “Take care, son. I hope you succeed and return with our Luna.”Mom and I hugged and she sniffled. She was never an em
