The Alpha King’s Virgin by Charmeleon

Chapter 50AMARISMy heart dropped to my stomach. Raine was in the vampire realm!“Are you sure about that?” If this witch tried to fool me…Joanna smiled coyly, confidently meeting my penetrating gaze. “I am never wrong. She saw me.”“Witch, if you lie to me…” I grabbed onto the silver bars, not caring that my skin was […]

Chapter 49RAINEThe knife dropped from my hand as I stared transfixed at the horrible scene in front of me. Athan devoured the girl I stabbed, slurping up her blood from the gaping wound in her neck. Once he lifted his head to glare at me through bloodshot eyes, blood dripping from his mouth to his

Chapter 48AMARISD65% 12:27I had a lucky break, I thought to myself. The water could have easily been poisoned also. My thirst won that time, I wouldn’t be so reckless a second time. Not that I planned on remaining here for much longer.“What the hell…” Lord Greyson bend down to examine the dead guard after I’d

Chapter 47RAINEERestless nights, or was it day? Hard to know when there was no sun streaming in from the stained-glass windows of the tower room. I guessed the nighttime was slightly darker. Restlessly I paced the room, trying to open the door although I knew it was locked. Laughing at myself for trying. Was this

Chapter 46AMARISD65% 12.26Rage ripped through the barriers of my mind making me shred through my clothes and the hands that held me. There was no stopping the beast. Red eyes focused on my twin. This was his doing. All of this. His plan all along. He had to pay with his life.“Amaris! No!” I heard

He mumbled something that sounded a lot like ‘f uck you’, and that didn’t sit well with me.“The only one that is

Chapter 43  RAINE  “Ah, you’re awake.” A disembodied voice wavered in and out of earshot as I tried to regain my consciousness. “A pity we had to sedate you so severally.”  I tried hard to pry my eyes open, but the lids were leaden. The rest of my body felt the same heaviness, I couldn’t move, not even to lift a finger. Paralyzed. Trapped in my own skin.  A hand on my face, fingers ghosting over my features. I wanted to scream, pull away, but couldn’t.  “Poor girl…” the voice chuckled, “You so desperately want to make a sound, don’t you.” It was a man’s  voice, not very deep, but not feminine either. “Don’t worry, you’ll soon be able to scream to your heart’s  content, Raine.”  ‘Tasha, Tasha!‘ I couldn’t reach her, couldn’t feel her. What have they done to me? Where was I? A desperate tear found its way out of the corner of my eye and again a cold finger tapped it away from my cheek.  “Ah…your tears are so sweet. I can only imagine how your blood would taste.” Again that ominous chuckle.  A vampire? I willed my eyes to open with all my strength and at last succeeded. My eyes opened to darkness not even my werewolf sight could penetrate. There was no one there. Tried moving my head. Managed to move it a little to the right. I was in a room, on a bed, that much I could discern. No longer in a cage.  My hands weren’t tied but there was a steel shackle around my ankle. At least it wasn’t silver. It took a lot to move myself to a sitting position. Out of breath, my heart pounding, I sat back against a bare wall. There was no headboard.  “You regain your strength fast.”  I whipped my head to the left and there I saw him. Shrouded in darkness, with only his silhouette visible, the man or creature sat in the furthest corner of the room, watching me.  1/4  Chapter 43  I  willed my mouth to work. “Who… who are you?” I blinked a few times to get accustomed to the dusk.  He unfolded from the chair and within the blink of an eye, he was right next to me. I have never been faced with a vampire before and involuntarily I uttered a shriek, shielding my face with my arms.  My fear amused him it seemed, because he gave a throaty chuckle and pried my arms away. “I do love it when they scream. But if I wanted you dead, Queen Raine, you would have been drained of your blood the moment you arrived here.”  I made the mistake of looking him in the face. Mesmerizing reddish alabaster–like eyes locked onto mine. I could feel him nudging my mind, trying to compel me.  “No!” I closed my eyes, turned my head away.  “Interesting,” he said. “Unusual for an Omega werewolf.”  I ripped my wrist out of his hold. “What do you want?! Who are you?” I said more forcefully than I felt.  “I am King Athan Dracul, a direct descendant of the first vampire. And you are in my realm.” He straightened himself to look down his hawkish nose at me, as if were a lesser being.  I thought about what Ross said, to not let my fear show, easier said than done when you were facing a vampire. But I was not going to let my fear control me, however hard that was. My heart was on the verge of exploding through my chest, I wiped beads of perspiration from my top lip. Swallowing down the bile that rose in my throat I faced him and said, “You had better take me back to the werewolf kingdom or there will be a war.”  “Oh, little wolf, I am counting on it.” The predatory smile on his face made my blood turn to ice.  I still couldn’t reach my wolf because of the wolfsbane. As soon as she recovered, I would try and escape. I had to try. Amaris would be searching for me, I know it, he would not leave a stone unturned until I was back with him.  “Why would you want that? We’ve been at peace with the other realms for years. Why would you want to jeopardize that?” How many enemies did Amaris have?  “Peace? Is that what you think this is? The way we’ve been existing?” He sighed and turned away from  2/4  Emergency calls only…  Chapter 43  D65% 12.25  the cot I was lying on. “But maybe you have no idea, Queen Raine, of all the restrictions we live under  this so–called peace.”  “Restrictions?” I swung my legs off the cot, testing the strength of the chain restraining me. I doubted that I would be able to break it without the help of my wolf.  His attention snapped back to me. “Don’t be foolish to try and escape. Around here you’re nothing but someone’s next meal.”  Noted.  “But you haven’t answered my question, King Athan. What restrictions? I need to understand.”  I inched my way toward him. Now that I was on my bare feet, the full impact of his impressive height intimidated me. He was taller than Amaris, but not bulkier, leaner, designed for speed. No scent to discern.  He smirked at me; thin pale lips moved back to reveal a row of gleaming razor–sharp teeth. “Raine, do you think you’d be able to change your mate’s decrees? He fancies himself as the sovereign ruler of the kingdoms.” He made air–quotes with his hands, slender, long fingers. “He’s such an arrogant wolf. Protecting the humans while they are just a food source. Not so long ago werewolves preyed upon them too. What changed?” he shrugged.  I was confused. “So, this is about the humans?” 

AMARISHunters! On my territory? We haven’t had this problem for years and now, with me coming here to themine – a coincidence? I think not.I singled out the loudmouth, crashing into him, sending the rifle flying. Rage pinned him down with his giant paws, his saliva dripping onto the man’s face, showing him our deadly

Chapter 41We left early the next morning for the Black Mountain copper mines. Four black SUVs, three of which were packed with our security detail and more guards. The boy from the tower was in our vehicle with Amaris’ personal bodyguard, a huge mountain of a man with a stern face that conveyed a no-nonsense
