“I hate the thought of Moe hurting. I cannot believe that he has the gut to not accept his mate at first sight.” Myra ranted even in Cole’s arms. Cole rolled his eyes as he waited for Myra to tire herself out, if he had known that she would continue to speak about another’s mating, he would have given her the co-ordinates of their room so she could appear there, after all he didn’t specifically find that knowledge not to use it. “You mean like you did.” Cole reminded her and Myra shook her head. “Not like me, certainly not like me and you know it. I was scared and my reason for being scared proved to be true didn’t it? I was banished from my people. What is his excuse, not staying true to his dead mate? Hypocrite!”“Why…” “Because I do know that he has not being celibate since his mate died. I don’t know why he is scared neither do I care but this is clearly too much. He shouldn’t have done it that way. He could have done a partial acceptance of her.” Myra continued and Cole shook
Caleb was already in deep pain, wondering what the hell was happening and why his being kept feeling like it was being spilt in twos. The pain started small, reached a crescendo and then return back to the small state all to begin again. He was not only tired of the pain but he was ready for it to end. He had even started to beg unseen entities that he wasn’t really the one who did the rejection and that it should not be possible for an acceptance to a rejection which he didn’t issue out. And even through the pain, thoughts came to his head, when his mate, Hannah had died, the pain he felt was self-induced, he went into isolation and was nearly feral and through that dark phrase, he still had control of himself and he could pull himself back from the brink of insanity. There was nothing self-induced about what he was feeling. He didn’t want to be disloyal but he cannot help but think that Hannah was not really his mate and that made him even more confused as to what was really happe
“What are you?” Carson asked Myra, she was currently in the middle of a circle made of council members from Luminary and Feeders which were the vampires. The vampires were looking particularly angry about her actions and Myra could understand why they were angry. She had incapacitated their friend and fellow leader and nobody including herself could tell what would have happened to Caleb if they hadn’t rushed in to save Caleb. And there was the little fact that she was powerful enough to negate Caleb powers and make him defenseless and her mother never thought that she should tell others what she could do. Also another thing which was stack up against her. The shifters refused to take part in the questioning for obvious reasons and Cole ha to excuse himself from the room because he also was upset at the power which she displayed, something which he wasn’t aware that she could do and also because he would not be able to sit still while she was being questioned. She didn’t blame or fa
His mate was the one who was wrong. Cole was aware of that fact. Just like he was also aware of the fact that Carson and Vince escalated the argument. He knew that it meant something, that they thought it was best if the world thought that they were back to being at each other’s throats and normally, he would have dropped Myra back in their room and go to his study immediately so he could try and contact the two other leaders to ask what was happening but why the make believe argument but he was more concerned about his mate. Which was why he didn’t leave her side even after dropping her on the bed and then proceeded to cuddle her. Something that helped to reduce her tears and made her relax enough to fall asleep in his arms. His mind was still busy, thinking about his mate and categorizing every weird thing which he had seen her do and which she did effortlessly like she was used to doing it. It meant that people in her settlements, thought it was usual. Something which vampires di
Cole didn’t add to his earlier words, he just sat back, resting his back against their bed’s headboard while watching Myra. The best way for him to tell his mate is lying to him was to watch her facial expressions and to see if she would tell the truth. “Cole, what are you trying to say with that statement?” Myra asked calmly too. “I am not trying to say anything but the truth. It is enough to break the mate bond. Mate bond exists because each individual involved believes at least, that the partner that is with them in the bond will not hurt them. It is basic trust form. The whole bond is about trust. So why will I trust a female who continue to lie to me and does it so easily that if it was not because of that incident, I would be inclined to think that maybe I imagined the whole thing?” Cole asked and Myra bent her head as her eyes landed on the covers, she was sitting up and looking at Cole before, she dropped her head. Their cozy cuddling of less than five minutes ago was ruined
Cole got to his office and changed back to his human form and immediately regretted it, he wanted to return to his wolf form because he felt freer from the emotions of his heart then. He was desperately trying not to think about his mate but he was helpless in that feat as his mind kept revolving round her, going back to her over and over again. He really would prefer to give the reins to his wolf but he couldn’t. He had duties of a king which was holding him tied to his skin. That was the very last thing which he wanted to do but he had no choice for now. He would do what he needed to do because he was king. Signing into the computer interface that enabled himself, Carson and Vince to talk without the worry of them being hacked, he settled down and waited for them to log in and when the bubbles started showing on the screen, he knew that they were really expecting his call for them. “It took you long enough.” Carson complained as soon as his face appeared. “And I told you to be p
“…Don’t you think that this little argument which you are having with your mate is getting out of hand?” Brett asked Cole who was still sitting behind his desk, he only left to refresh himself but his food had been brought to him since the night before and he has been trying his best to get caught up with the paperwork, he was finally gaining traction when Brett came to report the status of the new warrior’s pack which was just formed and their training so far. Cole raised his head from the paper in front of him to glare at Brett who sighed and then continue. “The warriors are shaping up well, the suggestion of partnering an alpha and a beta together as a team seem to be working well and the success rate is well above fifty percent but none of that matters if both Alphas and Betas are scared of your mate who happened to be on a warpath and is terrorizing the entire settlement because of your little disagreement with her. Last time, it was you but this time, she put your little tantru
“Fuck.” Vince cursed when Cole explained what he had just discovered. His curse was enough to shock both Carson and Cole into strangled laughter as they realized the grimness of the situation and the total number of an army which might be against them that they were not even aware of until that moment. “Our current system is not working, there are a lot of changes which needs to be made.” Vince added, ignoring the laughter of others. “That is certain but how do we go about doing it?” Carson asked, his eyes flickering between Vince and Cole on their various screens. “I know that I am the usual calm and conservative one when it comes to making decisions like this but I think that it would be best if we all wipe out the traitors at once.” Vince suggested, once more leaving Cole and Carson in shock. “I know that it is a radical choice but I think we have been too lenient. We can use them as an example for the rest of those under our control to be reminded just how powerful we are and
