**Carmen POV **Through the eyes of a Palace gaurd I had taken control of I watched the ceremony with disdain. When the green wolf appeared I spotted the cresent moon marking on her making her the Moon Goddess flesh and blood on earth. The gods hadn't played fair and I had never foreseen them working this closely together. I had heard the commotion that confirmed The Kings damned brother was now mated to the Vampire Kings daughter which ment they were all linking together allowing powerful blood line matches of different species. I could feel bile creep up my throat as they all pledged their alliance to the new King and Queen. This would be a long fight but being immortal I could wait I would still crush them all one by one and in the end they could mix and mate all they wished I would be the Queen of them all.I zoned into the small perky blonde witch who ruined my plans and knew Sasha Sanderson was my first target, I needed them to be witch less so the covens and Sasha needed to go
(7 Months Later.)**Charlie POV**Emmett and I had settled into life as the King and Queen the first few months had been a learning curve for us all. I sat in my office listening to Luna Catherine and the council elder drone on as i pretended to take notes. Sasha openly napped on my sofa her hand on her perfectly rounded belly. Emmett’s mother and the council had given up attempting to teach Sasha anything and merely excepted her presence at the lessons as penance for her crimes. Me on the other hand I was not so lucky.I smirked thinking back to the night that had earned me my current twice weekly "Queen lessons." It was also the night that had cemented my firm friendship with Queen Poopy. Her husband had been amused and no one was forcing her to take Queen lessons. Vampires generally and traditionally had a bad boy rep in the supernatural world but Poppy had been seen as some blonde haired angel but then she met Sasha.(Flashback)"Oh come on I am so bored I could die please." Sasha
**Sasha Pov***I sat in Madame Luxs coven spell room hidden in the crypts of New Orleans. It had been a blissful few months with my daughter and my mate. We had been doing spell work to look for the cauldron to finally finish off Carmen. However Madame Lux and I had foreseen a future where demons walked the earth again but we had worked out the spell Carmen was weaving. She had the good sense to stay quiet as I wove a personal spell using a red candle. When I was done I sighed. Sadly watching the red candle burn."Love spell?" Madame Lux asked."Not quite but a spell that will help someone love again." I sighed."Sasha?" She began."Don't" I stopped her sending her a smile. "I couldn't bare it Madame Lux. I have always known this it has always been in my bones somewhere I am not scared of what is coming for myself I am just worried for my friends." I sighed. "You and I both know we cannot change everything but we can use it to our advantage." "Sasha ....." she trailed off knowing the
***Charlie POV***Carmen reached for me again but I couldn't be touched. Sasha glowed an eery white as she threw Carmen across the room."Even if you best me here Sasha I still win. You either let the portal open or you sacrifice your friends life to close it. Either way Selena the Moon Goddess loses again I kill her heir again and the prophecy plays out anyway." Carmen laughed menacingly. The big black doors the portal to the other world strained. Sasha ducked a spell and hurled one back at Carmen who smashed against the rock face unconscious. The portal glowed stronger still as panic built in me."Sasha." I screamed "you have to get these chains off me I have to close the portal." I cried.She looked at me sorrow in her eyes. She suddenly looked so young like the scared teenager I once knew. "Only a death blood sacrifice will stop such vile magic." She answered sadly. "Then so be it. Sasha help me." I roared as the portal seemed to begin to open, panic and desperation now gripped
*** Alpha Liam Pov***With the Royal builders help the new Celtic Crescent Moon pack house was almost complete it was a little more modest then the Pearl Moon Pack house but i had left it open to the potential to expand. My daughter had sent some un mated warriors to help me whilst I built up and trained the packs own ones. We were now no longer hidden so needed to strengthen our defence and quickly. Danny was no longer training the warriors here but we had a plan to create a Royal academy where wolves would attend and learn a range of things including magic, fighting, tactics and more importantly tolerance mixing with other species. He would work there with the Fianna warriors in an elite squad.I smelt my beautiful flower before I saw her spinning toward the scent I saw her beaming. Luna Catherine and Alpha Williams were with her."What?" I asked sensing her excitement.She placed a white stick in my hand and I glanced at it the little window read "pregnant". As Abigal was a fairy h
***Adams PoV***We sat in some tavern sipping whiskey and waiting for our food. We were all tired and dishevelled after days of negotiations with the Sirens. Some resolution had been met and we had removed the werewolves from any involvement but the Sirens would continue to battle out their own political war but now neither side could no hire or use the werewolves as informers on the land around the islands. I had been raised knowing I would be a Beta but no one had raised me to be a royal Beta and political issues had never been in my mind. I was born to fight, protect and enforce but I was enjoying the negotiation side.The waitress dropped our food onto the table as per usual she had first tried to get Emmett's attention with her flirtatious behaviour, but as usual Emmett was cold to her, polite but cool and she re directed it at me. I still by nature enjoyed a little flirt but no one came close to Casey. The waitress leaned low flashing her cleavage my way but I kept my eyes on he
**Charlie POV**Emmett sat where Danny had been as he pulled me and our baby into his huge arms."Hes perfect." Emmett whispered. "I am so glad I made it here you have no idea what the journey back was like." He added. I laughed as Emmett told me about feeling the labour pains and that Adam felt Caseys he outlined how he would ensure all warriors with pregnant mates would be re stationed close and I chuckled thinking how it took one King to feel labour pangs and a whole law would change but it was a good thing so I didnt tease too much. However when he gleefully announced he could now say he knew what labour was like i was quick to repeat his mother's words to him telling him when he pushed something the size of a Melon out the hole a size of a golf ball we would talk. Emmett wisely changed topic. I told him about the plan to send Max to train the youths in the Italian Pack and he was hesitant in agreeing to Daphne's joining him but I put my foot down and seeing as I just had his pup
***Charlie POV ***I sat at my desk Ash slept softly in my arms as I read through the report from the pup school requesting a new teacher I happily signed off my name to the request granting them the new teacher and moved to the next request it was a reporters request for a portrait of the the Princes and Princess for the supernatural press I sighed as I declined the request. This was a double edged sword hiding their identity protected them but also encouraged those to seek them out to get the precious picture of them and a big pay day. Emmett and I agreed once they were a little older we would let the world see them. I looked up as a gentle knock tapped me door I caught his scent and smiled. "Come in Danny." I called as he entered he had two take away coffee cups with him. Danny seemed to have taken a liking to nearby coffee shop and found any reason to stop there and bring me one back. I took the cup thankfully and sipped it. "Thanks Danny. Your right it has the best coffee in to
