"Please don't start a fire in my room, I have a lot of nice things," he chided. I told him I wouldn't while wiping my eyes. My entire demeanor was changing as I entered his room. Seeing articles of women's clothing strewn about I looked at Bryce wondering who or what had hurt him. Gritting my teeth I followed him into his living room area and sat down on his leather sofa. Lifting a red lacy thong between my thumb and index finger, I eyed Bryce. "Is this couch safe to sit on?" I questioned as he yanked the panties from my fingers. He grunted, yeah. I sunk into the buttery soft leather couch and rubbed my eyes."How can your true mate betray you?" I asked pointedly. Bryce was pouring two glasses of liquor and huffed."Because of the creed. Since Dire wolves were such a rarity, the creed was written to state that we don't have true mates and are instead coupled with other Dires to increase the population. There is a clause in it regarding offspring as well, females are coveted, while th
Zaika's povAfter returning from seeing Sasha, I felt completely devastated. She had been poisoned as the whore Asia had said. The smell of both males on her caused my gut to churn. I was certain that she would be carrying a pup after both royals released their seed in her. Rubbing my forehead, I glanced over at my bed to see both females still fast asleep. Not wanting to join them I decided to head to the exercise room and pump iron. If anything I would increase my muscles and become the perfect royal guard. Retracing Bryce's early steps I made it to the empty room. It was still early so the other guards were all fast asleep. I glanced down at my wrist to see the bracelet Bryce had given me and grinned internally because it was working. I scolded myself for forgetting that I could travel with thought and could have just appeared within the room."You don't want to flaunt your gifts," Einar growled in my subconscious. I laughed and went to the weight bench."I should have taken Sasha
Zaika's povI exercised until Vossler told me to join him in the dining room for breakfast. Since I hadn't been to that part of his palace I was quick to accept. We walked through long halls filled with decorative items. My eyes were wide at the huge paintings of battle scenes that graced the tall walls. Vampires and wolves were fighting and I was squinting as I examined them."Weren't you in a relationship with a vampire?" I asked in confusion. Vossler glanced back at me and followed my eyes."Oh these old things are for our kind and the vampire to remember how far we have come together. They are depictions of the blood wars. The mess was a horrible ordeal, families fought against each other and mates too," He said solemnly. I nodded my head as I swallowed uncomfortably. Seeing the details look so lifelike was unnerving."The artist certainly got every detail," I muttered. Vossler chuckled and said he would let her know. I inhaled in shock."A female painted all of these?" I exclaime
Zaika's povThe smell of blood was causing my fangs to throb which annoyed me greatly."I identify as a wolf, not a vampire," I muttered hoarsely. Furrowing my brow at the male chuckle I heard after my rant caused me to open my eyes slightly. A young-looking male with spiky black hair, citrine yellow eyes, pointed ears and a crooked grin filled my sight. Purple sparks like my hellfire were coming from his fingertips as he worked on my side injury. A bag of blood hung by a hook and was connected to my vein. Lifting it to look at it more closely I glared at the off-male."Who or what are you," I inquired. The man smiled and introduced himself. Pulling the blanket up that covered my manly bits he continued to examine the area I had been stabbed. He moved the harness and shook his head in annoyance."I am Atlas, a necromancer, reaper, and a good friend of your biological family. You're lucky I was the one to get your reaping card and recognize you. You were close to drifting off to your n
Sasha's povFrom the moment I received the call from my father about Zaika's death I had given up on my dreams for a happy life and future. The only thing that kept me from slitting my wrists and ending it all was the pup that was growing within me. Knowing it was Zaika's kept me strong. When the prince returned from Vossler's he told me if I continued to weep over Zaika he would pin me down and choke me with his cock. Afterward, he brutally fucked me until I pleaded for him to stop for fear of the pup I carried. Gallum acted indifferent about the announcement of the child, not seeming to care either way. He had disappeared to his deceased father's king suite and stays there now giving me some peace. I know that he is sleeping with other females and it didn't upset me in the slightest. He wasn't my mate in any form or fashion. Aspen, my wolf is angered and continues to complain to me about the Dire Wolves Creed. I am also still being held behind a locked door for what purpose I didn't
Sasha's povSitting across from Gallum, I watched him run his fingers through his dark brown wavy hair and sigh."After the birth of your pup and once you're healed I will schedule your bukkake and we will wed. I'm certain that the child you carry is my father's since I haven't impregnated anyone since I started having sex," he muttered sourly. I looked away from his eyes as they bore into mine."Okay, I don't know what you expect me to say?" I replied. Leaning back, he smiled."I want us to work together, Sasha. I'm a young viral male that has needs. Your concern about the pup made me seek other outlets. Unless you wish to serve me in other ways, I will continue to have sex with other females," he said firmly as he side-eyed me. I chewed on my bottom lip as Aspen told me to ask him what he wanted. Apprehensively, I looked at him with lowered eyes."What else can I do?" I asked. Grinning slightly, he removed the blanket covering himself and told me to taste his stiff dick. "I…but I…,
Zaika's povI transported myself back to the garden maze of the Southern Province and frowned seeing the shrubs destroyed. The gnarled bushes were all bent over one another. The carved marble Wolves on the fountain looking down on the pond with two dead swans floating lifeless in the water caused me to swallow uncomfortably."I am a monster," I growled. Glancing at all of the destroyed vegetation I shook my head and transported myself back to the Rogues camp. Seeing me, Bryce rushed up to me and slapped me hard across the face."You have started a war due to your uncontrollable power! You are very immature and childish, Zaika," he snarled. Rubbing my cheek, I sighed."I only ruined the damn gardens," I muttered. Bryce glared at me."No, you knocked out the king, who is currently in a coma-like state and you have caused Sasha to start contractions. The entire Palace is in chaos due to Gallum never choosing a Beta. He is as wet behind the ears as you," he snarled. In concern of Sasha, I
Sasha's povSitting back down next to Gallum, I didn't see Zaika vanish but his scent had dissipated. Looking down at my hands, I felt an ache in my gut. It wasn't the baby, it was a sense of loss as if my insides were breaking apart. "What happened?" Gallum's hoarse voice inquired.Looking up at his narrowed yellow eyes I grinned slightly."There was an incident in the gardens and we were both injured," I informed him. He rested his forearm over his eyes and groaned."I bet it was the rogues, killing my father wasn't enough for that red-haired bitch. She wants my hide as well," he grunted. Not knowing what to say, I remained quiet as I sat there. My thoughts were on Zaika and frustrating me so much that I was spaced off and frowning."You shouldn't do that, it will cause you wrinkles," Gallum lashed out as he brushed my cheek with his knuckle."Sorry, I am just thinking of something," I mumbled. Hearing him growling low, I glanced at him."Zaika, I bet. He is always in your thoughts
