Michael met Paris outside of the dungeons. “Hand over your necklace,” Michael said, holding out his hand.Paris jerked his shaman necklace off and tossed it at Michael. Michael was not going to steep so low as to pick the necklace up. “See yourself to a cell,” Michael compelled him.Paris turned around and walked to the open cell. Michael followed him and locked the cell.“She will never love you, not the way she loves me,” Paris said, after Michael.“With you out of the way, she is free to love me,” Michael chuckled.“Brother,” Torvald stopped Michael, reminding him that he has to keep his end of the deal.“I didn’t find any of your wives,” Michael said, truthfully, and left.Paris looked at Torvald and wished he could end him.“We all do what we have to,” Torvald said, and sat in his usual spot on the floor.***Ann drove Paris's car over to where he left her that morning. She stood around in the dark, wondering where Paris was.“Ann. What are you doing back here?” Michael played du
“Pfft, you can’t handle a guy like me,” Michael sets the bait, hoping that Ann would see it as a challenge. “Your lost,” Ann said and fiddled in her handbag for her phone to find out where Jessica and Katelina were, refusing to shed another tear over Paris. “I just mean, if you can’t handle Paris, you most definitely won’t be interested in me,” Michael tried again, walking after her. “Who said I can’t handle Paris? More like he couldn’t handle a girl like me,” Ann chuckled sarcastically. “If you say so,” Michael teased. “Ok, fine. Why do you think that I can’t handle a guy like you? Are you into some sort of crazy weird stuff?” Ann questioned. “I, well, I am into polygamy,” Michael said, thinking if she does not like the idea, he will just compel her to forget and try again. ‘How great will it be if I can have her and Soroya?’ Michael thought. ‘And Katelina.’ “Didn’t know that is still a thing,” Ann responded. “So, how many wives do you have?” “Are you actually considering dati
“A while and, as you already know, he is a great lover,” Katelina said with a smile.“We didn’t have sex,” Ann blushed.“You are missing out,” Katelina said, and turned off her night light.“I will go check where Jessica is,” Ann said and got out of bed.Ann found Jessica outside the dormers, sitting on the steps.“Why are you so angry?” Ann questioned.“Oh, hey,” Jessica said. “This year is not starting how I imagined. Please tell me you are not considering dating that guy.”“What if I am? I hear he is good in bed. We are here to learn, so why not learn and discover ourselves? Why limit ourselves to just one guy? Or girl,” Ann chuckled.“Any guy but him. He has so many girlfriends,” Jessica snorted.“Word spreads fast, I guess,” Ann laughed.“No, Kat told me about her boyfriend and his many girlfriends. Apparently, that Soroya girl is one of them,” Jessica added.“Really? But earlier she made it sound as if she and Paris are back together,” Ann shared, and felt something was not quit
Jessica and Ann walked past Michael to their next class and Jessica thought it was unfair that Michael was compelling Ann to bend her to his will.“I need to run to the bathroom, keep me a seat,” Jessica said just as they walked into class. Michael was hot on their heels, but Jessica forced-walked him away from class.“Sorry, but I have one too many girlfriends and you are not my type,” Michael joked.“Listen here asshole. If you compel Ann one more time, I will have Deacon turn the supernatural world against you,” Jessica spat.“Oh please, as if Deacon will do anything for you. You are not even his woman,” Michael chuckled and walked away.“I just have to smile in his direction again to have him wrapped around my finger,” Jessica threatened.“That is true,” Deacon’s voice made her jump. Deacon walked past Michael on his way to the same class. “She is right. You have no right to compel Ann. If she can’t fall in love with you out of free will, then is it even worth having her love at a
“Michael is keeping me alive because he is sentimental,” Torvald chuckled.“You laugh about it when you should be grateful,” Paris said in disbelief.“Grateful? I am locked up,” Torvald spat.“But alive, and as long as you are alive, there is hope to be free again,” Paris said optimistically.“Mr. Optimistic,” Tovald said, standing up and leaning against the bars, facing Paris, his arms through the bars.“What?” Paris questioned with a frown on his face.“Let me drink from you,” Torvald asked.“Why not just compel me because I am not going to let you drink from me,” Paris chuckled.“Because my brother made me promise to obey him in exchange for my life and after that promise, he told me I am not allowed to compel anyone,” Torvald said and sat on his usual spot.“You are shit out of luck,” Paris chuckled.“Tell me about it,” Torvald sighed.“You deserve everything that is happening to you,” Paris chuckled.“And you don’t?” Torvald challenged.“So, because I am in love with a woman, I h
After class one day, Ami paid her mother a visit that was staying at the higher council.“Daughter dearest,” Queen Amirah greeted when Ami walked into the Were-owl throne room.“Mother, brother,” Ami greeted them both. She kissed her mother on the cheek and then looked over at her brother Andre, that was sitting in the chair that her father used to sit in. Ami put the thoughts of killing the new Vampire king, Michael, aside as he was to blame for the death of her father and so many other royals.“You live so near, but yet I never see you,” her mother complained.“Varsity life keeps me busy,” Ami said.“And your boyfriends, I suppose?” her mom questioned, even though she already knew about Eero and Stella as she set up the whole thing.“We broke up,” Ami said and sat on a chair next to her mother’s throne.“Really? Why?” her mother questioned, pretending to be concerned.“Mother, please don’t pretend that you feel bad about it. I know, and everyone else knows, that you never liked the
“Are you ok?” Wynn asked and walked into Ami’s room at the higher council.Ami was crying into her pillow when she heard Wynn’s voice.“Hey, hey, hey. What is the matter? Is it so awful that I am your fated mate that you have to cry about it? We can just un-mate. No problem,” Wynn said and placed his hand on her shoulder. “I know you grew up knowing me as an uncle, I guess. I don’t know why I keep on ending up with you young ones,” Wynn explained, confused about it all himself.“You don’t understand,” Ami sobbed.“Then explain to me,” Wynn said.“I want to be mated to you, but you are so quick to cast the idea aside and un-mate. I always dreamt of my fated mate and not in a million years did I even think I will get a fated mate because we are the last royals of our species and the lycan’s basically took all the human royals for themselves,” Ami cried, sitting up.“I want to be your mate, but what about Eero?” Wynn questioned.“Eero left without a second thought,” Ami sobbed.Wynn wrap
“Am I not allowed to have a good day?” Ami chuckled and hooked her arm in with Ann.“Just find it hard to believe that you are over Eero so quick,” Jessica stated.“Just because I am happy does not mean I am over him,” Ami said.“You met someone, didn’t you?” Ann accused.“Maybe,” Ami teased as they walked into the building.“Good for you,” Jessica said, making Ami feel bad.‘Will she be ok with me and Wynn?’ Ami wondered.“Not again,” Jessica sighed when she saw Deacon with a bunch of blue flowers.“Good morning, beautiful,” Deacon said and held out the blue flowers, the bunch twice the size of the day before. Deacon has been trying to give her flowers every day, and every day ends the same; Jessica takes the flowers and dumps them in the nearest dustbin.“Please don’t dump them. They will look so pretty in our room,” Katelina pleaded.“Michael could learn a thing or two from Deacon,” Ann chuckled.“You can say that again,” Ann laughed.Jessica took the flowers and pushed them into K
