The Kings Series #2 His Silver Hand novel Chapter 17

They played right in the palm of her hands.

Punny royalties. She thought smugly.

He was a strong and greedy soul. The rogue wolf was the perfect candidate.

Lust had been his downfall. He certainly had a big dick to enjoy and she did. Thoroughly. She had him for breakfast and spat out his bones.

Her lips curled cruelly from her lustful thoughts. Rest in burning pieces asshole.

Deep peels of laughter echoed in her ceremonial chamber were cut off suddenly when her mind focused on her mission.

Ruby would make sure he will be reincarnated into someone better. Deadlier. He will be her weapon and her protector.

Her ultimate killing machine.

The ritual to give birth to his soul would begin tonight while the moon was silvery-white and the dark sky hugged the hues of twinkling stars.

With the dragon girl's virgin blood, she began to coat her naked body until it gleamed in the moonlight filtering through the open windows, the sweet metallic smell filling her senses. Arousing her

She needed to resurrect the rogue's soul to fuck her.

Councilman Rex, her old lover couldn't keep up with her voracious appetite anymore. She needed fresh meat.

Drawing her symbol in the middle of her room with the blood Zachary had collected. The air thickened.

Hmmm...

Approaching her Wiccan Altar, she stood proudly inside the pentagram's circle, blood dripping from her body in staccato beats, setting the mood.

This was her offering to the Dark Angel. Lines sizzled when she began to chant in her ancient Theban-- the witch's universal language.

-My lord, my king, deliver me the soul of Zachary. The rogue wolf. He has served us well.-

-And we will serve you better with him by my side.-

-He is a gift I demand of you, my dark angel. A weapon for our enemies.-

-Deliver him to me and I will never fail you.-

Fires ignited on the lines and hot air hissed and swirled around her, rocking her body back and forth. Her body was jerked from the force of evil in the room nevertheless Ruby stood her ground.

She never felt pain from the deep welts from an invisible scimitar slicing in precision. Lines began to appear on her naked body.

A male naked figure materialized. He rested prone inside the circle. Unmoving and waiting for her command. The gift.

--Fail me and you will suffer.--

The deep disembodied voice made Ruby quake in fear. He was not to be crossed.

-Never, My King of All.-

Anna Marie

The events of the night kept dabbling on her mind like a constant replay. It was like a buzzing noise from hundreds of bees and it was annoying her.

She wanted to forget. It was a foolish move but it was also a case of damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.

Indali...she was badly hurt and yet she saved her from a fate worse than death. If Zachary had succeeded... She shuddered with the thought.

She would have died. Being sexually violated was her ultimate fear. And no woman should ever have to experience such horrific undesirable circumstances.

The wounds on Indali's body were severe. She was brought to the infirmary right away and she had to be confined for a few days.

While she...

Anna Marie had soaked her body in an almost unbearable heated water. The blotches of red on her skin was a testimony of how much she wanted to wash Zachary's touch away. Hoping it will somehow help with the memories.

Alexandria and Anna Marie had shared their strength to heal her faster and the medical staff gave her something for the pain but her scars went deeper. No medicine could cure her memories of abuse. Both past and present.

"Anna Marie," her swollen eyes found her soulmate standing by the door. His luminous orbs were full of remorse and pain for her. Maybe he could heal her.

Rie blinked several times and more tears caressed her cheeks.

"Lucas," she whispered. Words couldn't describe how much she was grateful to him and his sister. Her amber depths might have reflected what she wanted because he was by her side in an instant. Embracing her tenderly. His nose buried in her fragrant hair.

"You'll get wet," she uttered on his chest. Relishing his warm haven. Her grip on him bordered on desperation.

"I don't care, sweetheart." He burrowed his face on her neck and she felt the tremors on his heavily muscled frame.

"Come join me?" She implored. He stiffened at her request.

"Are you sure? I mean...Rie, " her wet finger pressed on his fleshy lips, stopping his protests.

"I need you with me, Lucas. Please." He nodded. With unhurried movements, he removed his clothes, leaving his boxers on for her sake. And she was thankful for his consideration.

Her hot and cold attitude towards him was driving her crazy. How could he have so much patience for her? She had to let go of the past. Lucas was it for her. The problem was how.

Tonight was the perfect time to tell him all.

The soapy water sloshed when he climbed behind her. This jacuzzi will fit the two of them just fine.

Rie settled in between his spread thighs and leaned on his hard wet chest. Her breath expelled out of her on a heavy relaxing sigh.

"Is this ok?" He murmured huskily on her nape. Fine lanugo follicles stood up and it made her shiver.

She shook her head yes. Lucas took the sponge from her and began to wash her tense shoulders and back. "I want to see Indali."

He paused his ministrations. "She's asleep from the pain meds." His deep voice said gruffly. So, it's an indirect no.

Did they blame her for what happened to his sister? Zachary had wanted her and to get to her he had dangled Indali as bait. The thought made her uncomfortable.
