I couldn't believe how large their home was, half underground to keep out the light and above looked like an old estate owned by some Duke or Earl.
I could barely walk in my heels, so Fiona carried me until we were above ground. Everything went by so quickly I didn't get to take it all in, but now that I knew there was a lot more to this place I felt the urge to explore! The evening was chilly and damp, the moon almost full and could be seen clearly through the open French doors. Everyone looked like they were normal humans but there were so many of them. "Is this a dinner party or a party party?" "It's a ball actually. Dinner will be served there." "But you don't eat..." "Shush! Just have fun!" She pulled onto my arm holding me tight to her. "We can eat human food, we can't live off of it and we certainly don't prefer it."No! Absolutely not. Only drinks from out suite that Liam makes." Fiona took the glass of champagne I finally found and downed it. "I'm sorry Lady Fiona, I didn't know." Jennifer looked scared and stepped back from the table looking between Fiona and Oisin. "Yet you know all about her..." Fiona looked at Oisin and put her hand up to stop before he said the wrong the thing. "Master Oisin, please." Jennifer couldn't even look at him. "Why don't you find Rian and make sure that he has someone to distract him from declaring war during this amicable event." "But - But...I thought I was your date Oisin?" "Jennifer, you belong to King Rian. I suggest you find my brother before he finds you." She was owned by Rian? Why were they being so mean to someone who has seemed nothing but nice.&nbs
Last night was amazing with the werewolves! I learned that the average pack gained about 2 werewolves per event, which sounds small but they are an endangered species. But the ball was an overall success, with Alphas added to their packs by over the average and a handful of true mates were united. The howling was almost deafening. I couldn’t believe how emotional I had gotten. The sadness of being alone, the joy of finding a mate or a pack to be your family or both; no wonder they howled. Apparently the last time this event was held here almost a decade ago, most wolves were solely looking for their mates. Alpha's that had mated with their Luna's hadn't bothered to show up for two reasons: 1. Thought it was a trap because who trusts vampires... 2. They thought they would be challenged for their position. But what the Alpha’s had failed to recogni
I need fresh air. I need to get out of here. I need to be outside with the sun and trees and less sexual tension. I took out some running gear and put it on before I heard the shower turn off. "Want to go for a jog?" Fiona had just stepped out of the shower as I was tying my shoes. "Not really. What happened?" "I don't know. I'm undesirable as per usual." "No. Nope. No more pity parties or mumbling under your breath bullying yourself. I won't allow it. I ban it." She looked so pretty even just coming out of the shower. Glowing really, but I guess that's what really good sex and love can do. "Well you've taken away 90% of my talking points." My arms flew up in the air and then hit my outer thighs with a thwack sound. "Why the frick am I more emotional?" "Faer
Fiona's hands hit her brothers door making the walls shake. "Why are you being so difficult?!" "Sod off!" Oisin obviously didn't want us to be there anymore. Fiona turned to me and Liam fuming in frustration and anger. Her eyes went dark which means she had to feed. "So if I can't open this door here, should I go to the human rooms tonight?" Please say no. "No, stay another night in our bed. Did you hear that you motherfuckingtwat!?!" Fiona started to kick the door. "We get to hold her. We get to put our hands on her. We can even fuck her." Wait...what? "What the hell Fiona?" She gave me a look that I knew all too well. She was goading him. It reminded me of her talking to Liam when she was Liv and he was Ian. That felt like a whole lifetime ago now. "Maybe Rian will finally call
I ran out of there like my life depended on it. But as soon as the cool night air crashes over me, I feel more alive than ever before. Before I can take a deep breath in I'm knocked into a tree. That glorious moment of humanity lasted for about 5 seconds. Aww is the big bad vampire annoyed I didn't kiss him? "It's not as fun if you don't run and hide." Oisin's hand is in my hand tangled in my hair sending delicious electric bolts to my scalp and his arm snaking around my waist. "Do I give you head start or do I win?" I try to control my breathing. I want to run - far away from here. And yet I want to stay and see what the prizes are, "what do I get if I win?" "Whatever you want." His voice was seductive and low. "What about you?" He tugs my hair harder, "wha
Oisin's POVWhat the fuck happened?! She went from 0-100 back to 0 in a few minutes.I can see the upsetting memories she has of me in her minds eye and negative hear the nagging little negative thoughts she has floating around her head.She thinks I'm taking her for an emotional roller coaster ride?! Damn faeries always being so dramatic. If they aren't living on rainbows and sunshine it's gloomy and dark.I want to tell her everything. Why she is feeling like she's falling down a dark well. Why I'm to bloody scared to admit I might have a second mate...or maybe she is my only mate and those happy years of my life were a sham.But her non-stop inner monologue continues down the depressing rabbit hole to a very scary place. Suicide.I may not have a soul but I was raised to believ
How is he not going feral right now. The scent of us combined was enough to make my mouth water and my core ache with want.Oisin continued his gentlemanly duties and carried me to the king sized bed where he had a soft silk light, calming blue blanket laid out.Assuming he has read my mind, sniffed the air, and any other vampire abilities he has, this was it.Finally I would get what I had thought about.Him. All of him.But instead he put me on my feet and asked me to lay on my stomach. Giving him a curious look, I handed him my towel and obeyed."You need rest. I thought a massage would help so I added lavender and vanilla to this oil," he put a curious blue glass bottle in front of my face and then exchanged it for a brown glass bottle. "And this one is grapefruit, mandarin orange, bergamot massage oil. Very uplifting for the spirit. B
Oisin's POVAfter a couple of cold showers, I finally have calmed down. When I step out in my towel, she's already asleep. Rolled herself up in the blanket like a burrito. I gently moved her to the side of the bed and place her head on a pillow.She moves a lot in her sleep, tossing and turning. I wonder if she's having nightmares; I could easily find out but I can't continue to invade her privacy.Texting Fiona, I want her to know what's going on, check in on my little sister, and make sure she keeps Rian busy tomorrow.Her reply: AHHH IM SO HAPPY!!! WILL DO!!! you both deserve happiness. Goodnight xoxoSometimes I wonder if I deserve happiness. People work hard and live shitty lives, never getting the upper hand, aren't they just as worthy of happiness? Whereas people like her stepfather and mother still breathe. For now.I know this: my soulmate is worthy
