Lyra
I am not quite sure when it happened, I mean the exact minute but I don't hate myself. I don't like myself either, I am just me. Spoiled youngest daughter of Russian vampire king Kirill, or as I call him Papa.
I am just over a hundred years old, well 106 actually, and I just hate what I was born into. I have no want for power, no need to be better, my sister Evanka and brother Vladimir have that sorted.
My brother will eventually take over from our father and my sister is already tied off to some guy from the Spanish noble family. Nope, not me. I would rather be banished than sold off for the sake of a treaty. In my fathers eyes I should act properly like a noble princess. I mean what kind of noble feeds off a fucking human.
We are the number one predator, we are faster, we are stronger and well we are made to take what we want first on the food chain. That was a joke, as soon as the world became aware of the supernatural's we became like second class citizens, registered and tracked like fucking criminal's.
I was sent to this god forsaken country to have time out and learn how to control my temper and sexual appetite. That bit made me laugh, I mean I like to fuck always have its built into us. To be brutally honest I haven't been satisfied in that department for quite some time. I hate this fucking country, I mean land of the free, that's a joke in itself.
I was shipped to my mothers old nest, that's what we call where we live. It is much like a pack that the wolves live in. My father is a powerful man in Russia with a lot of businesses and if I was a male I would be allowed to run them but as a female he wants me to be settled down as a doting wife. Well lets just say that's how this situation ended up happening.
Deciding to rebel against my own family and set up in competition was not my best idea but it was fun to watch them try to figure out who I was. Until I let my guard down one night while fucking someone I shouldn't have and they snooped when my back was turned.
Well it was fun while it lasted, probably not worth the consequences of being sent to this place. My father sent a guard with me, Nickoli, at the moment I am getting ready to go out to play on my new motorbike. I have been getting lectured for the past half hour on how I should not be driving a motorbike, it's not proper, and how my father had purchased a range rover for me.
Give me strength this fucker is worse than my father, that will be the last time I fuck him. As I continue to get ready I tune him out as I put on my signature bright red lipstick in the mirror, I step back to take myself in. I am 5'9 with a slim frame, small waist and nice hips.
My porcelain white skin and short black hair in a sharp bob and red eyes makes me stand out. Black skin tight jeans, black vest top, long black boots and black leather jacket. I am ready. Turning to leave I pick up my helmet, I almost make it to the door before Tessa my mothers elder sister catches me; Fuck , she is worse than either my parents. She lost her shit yesterday when my bike was delivered. I do get a slight satisfaction out of pissing her off, stuck up bitch.
"Lyra, where do you think you are going?" She demands from the lounge doorway. Rolling my eyes I spin on my heels.
``Aunt Tessa, you look lovely today" I try, it always worked with my mother.
"Cut the shit Lyra, I am not my sister. That crap wont work, where are you going?" Fuck this bitch is hard to deal with.
"I am going out on my new motorbike, I'll be back before dawn." She narrows her eyes at me, but before she can say any more I shoot out the door. I know I'll pay for that later, so I better make it worth it; I think to myself. As I take in the brand new shiny Fireblade, motorbike a thrill runs through me and I can't wait to feel the freedom of riding a bike like this.
Some of the maids had mentioned a bar not too far from here that supernatural's own and drink in. They did say mostly wolves but right now I just need to let my hair down so to speak. Feeling my bike roar to life has my excitement kicking in, never know I might find someone half decent to fuck.
Never have I ever done a wolf, might be fun even though we are natural enemies. Spotting the bar was easy, it was the only thing on a straight road for around thirty miles. There was a huge amount of motorbikes outside, mostly choppers and Harleys but hey bikes are bikes right.
Wrong Lyra, the minute I walk into the bar I feel the shift in the air. Wolves, only wolves are in this bar. Well this should be fun I think as I walk towards the bar, shit these wolves are huge and sexy as hell. I can feel all the eyes on me even the women are checking out the stranger. I have never been into females but even I have to admit these shifter females are hot as hell.
The bartender was a huge guy with a sharp eye and covered in tattoos, with a scar running through his left eyebrow. "How can I help you little lady?" He says in his gruff voice.
"Vodka, please" I almost laughed at the look of surprise on his face, probably my accent.
"Coming up" He says as he places the glass down in front of me and free pours the clear liquid.
"Long way from home" He says more as a question than a statement. He seems friendly and if I wanted a place to escape to this place can't hurt.
"Staying with family" I say with the friendliest smile I could muster.
"We don't normally get your type in here, but welcome I am Jared" He says as he offers me his huge tattooed hand. I take his hand and grin at him.
"By my type you mean Russians?" He barks out a laugh that has me properly smiling.
"Lyra, I am Lyra. Pleased to meet you Jared" He smiles at me showing his white straight teeth, his dark hazel eyes sparkle with mischief as he takes his hand back. As I make myself comfortable on the bar stool I take in the bar and people that are in it.
The place isn't fancy and it's a far cry from the places back home but I do like it. It's full of mostly men, a few females not many. There is a pool table in the corner, two guys are deep in concentration focusing on their game. The two females with them seem to be keeping an eye on me. As I go to take a sip of my drink I raise it to them with a smile. I guess they aren't quite as friendly as Jerad.
Turning back to Jerad I notice him in conversation with a guy at the other end of the bar, I can tell they are talking about me. No shock there then, It's in peoples nature to be curious. Once the guy at the end of the bar stands up I can get a better look at him, he's a wolf, I can tell he is ranked by his aura. Not an alpha, possibly Beta or gamma.
He's huge messy blonde hair and blue eyes, he's easy on the eye but not my type. Jerad put a drink in front of me, I gave him a questioning look. He just points to the guy who is now making his way towards me. I turn in my bar stool to face the now seriously close stranger, who is looking at me as if he could eat me. Pardon the pun, I know vampire's eat humans ha ha. He just stares down at me with lust filled eyes.
"Can I help you?" I ask with a smirk on my face, before I take a drink. He squints his eyes at me for a minute as if sizing me up.
"Sure you can help me out Princess" He says in a deep voice that on any other day would have made my panties drop but the sound of being called a princess pissed me off.
"I ain't no princess" Is all I say as I turn back to the bar and my drink. I can feel the heat coming off him as he steps closer.
"I seem to have upset you. My apologies, I am Atlas" Putting my drink down I turn back to him, and look him up and down in the same manner he did me.
"Well hello Atlas, I am Lyra" I say lingering on the R with my thick Russian accent.
Maddox
I have felt completely unsettled lately, my wolf Chaos keeps telling me I can feel something is coming. I have spent the best part of a week trying to avoid my father as he keeps trying to push me to take Una, the daughter of an Alpha from another pack in the area as my chosen mate.
Una is nice but far too timid for my liking and boring. She is pretty I guess but if I am honest she really isn't for me. I need a female who will give it back to me, not a yes female like her. I am trying to get through the paperwork for a construction deal I have been overseeing for the family company.
My parents keep pushing for me to take the Alpha position but I am not in a hurry. The thought of being stuck behind a desk instead of being out on the Harley is enough for me to run and keep running. I am now twenty three, everyone keeps telling me to find my mate. I mean is it that bad I don't want my mate I like my life as it is. I definitely do not want Una.
Chaos refuses to mark anyone as our Luna except our true mate and let me tell you this, there will be no mate for me. I can hear someone making their way towards my office but before they even knock on the door Atlas my Beta voice comes into my head. 'Hey man, you coming to the bar?'
'Sure give me half an hour to finish up' I answer before Una's head pops around the door.
'Scrap that I am on the way' I say quickly before shutting off our pack link.
"Oh Maddox, are you off somewhere?" Her sickly sweet voice that irritates me to no end.
"Yes sorry, was there something you needed?" I ask back while making a big deal of getting ready.
"No, I just thought we could spend some time together.'' She answers with a disappointed look on her face.
"Sorry, important business, I need to go maybe some other time" I say as I push past her before she can touch me. My body recoils at the thought of her touching me. I know I am being harsh. She's a lovely person and would make someone else a good Luna, just not me.
Jumping on the Harley and feeling it come to life before I can get caught by my father I am out of the pack lands and beyond the border. Arriving at the bar, there is a brand new shiny sports bike parked close to Atlas's chopper, a space I normally use. Who the fuck rides that crotch rocket? And why are they in my space? I was not in the mood for some smart ass from another pack, I think as I stormed into the bar.
The minute I enter I notice two things, one the smell of cherries and cream hit me head on making me almost salivate, and two the stranger sitting at the bar with my Beta. It's coming from her the scent and the distinctive scent of a blood sucking vampire. As Atlas notices me his smile slips, taking in my clear pissed off demeanour.
"Alpha'' He says as he bends his neck in submission to me. The minute she turns around I am floored, she is fucking sex on legs. Fuck, she is stunning but not in a good girl lovely person type of way like Una. No, she is more ill fuck you up and you cant do nothing except take it. Looking at her red eyes and sexy red full lips that spread into a slow sexy smile.
Snap out of it Maddox; fuck she is still a vampire, and judging by her aura she is high ranking but why is she here? Gaining the power of speech I look at my Beta.
"Who's is the fucking crotch rocket in my space?" I snap.
"That would be my crotch rocket" She says in a thick Russian accent, fuck that's sexy as hell the way her eyes are basically challenging me. Grunting at her I then turn to Jared.
"Bourbon, in fact make it a bottle" I say, as I turn and make my way to the other end of the bar to my usual stool. "Sure thing Alpha" The minute the bottle is placed in front of me I down two full glasses.
"Rough day Maddox?" Atlas says as he takes the seat next to me. Atlas and I grew up together, he has been my best friend for as long as I can remember. Not even bothering to look up from my glass I ask.
"Who is the visitor?" I don't have to look up to know he's smiling and before I can say anything he flat out pisses me off by waving her over.
"Alpha Maddox, let me introduce you to Lyra" I swear if the bar wasn't packed I would fucking rip is throat out for this. The moment I look up she is standing right in front of me, fuck she is a distraction I really don't need right now but man what a fucking distraction. I am drawn from my inner thoughts by the slim porcelain hand with long red nails the same colour as her lips and eyes.
"Alpha Maddox" She says in her accent. Flicking my eyes to her face I see the smirk and a perfectly arched eyebrow waiting for me to take her hand, and even though I know is a bad fucking move I take her hand. The minute we touch I am surprised by two things, she isn't cold and the sparks of the mate bond fire up and Chaos is howling in my head.
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck. No this cant be fucking happening right now and a vampire the goddess really is playing games with me. I don't even realise I am still holding her hand until Atlas clears his throat drawing me back to the prescient. She was standing with her head tilted to the side observing me. I draw my hand back wanting distance between us but not wanting her to go at the same time. I have no idea why but I blurted out.
"You're not cold?" If I thought her voice was sexy fuck the laugh that rings from her goes straight to my crotch as my cock comes to life. Seriously now? I think.
"Excuse me laughing Alpha but I was born a vampire not turned" She just looks at me before turning to leave and go back to her seat swaying that perfectly shaped ass of hers. Mentally slapping myself I quietly watch her from the other end of the bar, her confidence is fucking sexy but why is her talking and laughing with Jerad bothering me so much.
I don't want a mate, and I certainly do not want a fucking vampire not even one as sexy as she is. Chaos my wolf is laughing at me in my head.
'We will see' Is all he says.
Lyra
Well ante this interesting I thought as the incredibly strong aura hit me before he even entered the bar. I mean if I thought Atlas was sexy I was not prepared for the arrogant Alpha Maddox that just walked towards me with a frown on his seriously sexy pouty face. I feel Atlas's energy shift so I knew straight away this is his Alpha. The 6'4 muscle bound, tattooed scowling Alpha was sexy on a whole other level.
His shaved black hair, sapphire eyes that are hooded in this black lashes, strong jaw with just the right amount of stubble to leave a shadow has my panties wet. Well I'll be damned, why the hell have you never considered a wolf before Lyra, I think. His sheer contempt for me has me smiling, do not mess with me boy.
I knew I affected him from the moment he walked in, even if that at times pissed him off. I notch that as a point to me. The minute he took my hand I felt it snap, my fucking tie, this sexy as Alpha was made for me. There is no fucking way I want this but it wouldn't hurt to have a play with the brooding Alpha, I do not do feelings. Trying to stop myself from laughing and completely failing when Maddox asks me why I am not cold.
"Excuse me laughing Alpha, I was born a vampire not turned" I turn and make my way back to the other end of the bar, ordering another drink. Jerad is a funny guy and was easy to chat with. I spent most of the night with him and I must say it was the best laugh I have had in a long time.
Some of the other guys in the bar would stop and introduce themselves to the new visitor sitting at the bar. The females on the other had not so friendly, well I don't play with girls so fuck them or maybe not, I think with a smirk. Before I noticed it was closing time and there was only Jerad, Atlas, Maddox and myself left. Getting up to leave I slip my leather jacket on, blow Jerad and Atlas a kiss. I say goodnight before I say.
"Goodnight Alpha, I am sure we will meet again" I say as I wink at him and leave without giving him a chance to reply. I could have sworn I heard a small growl followed by the laughing of Atlas. The night is cool as I step out into it, putting my helmet on, I swing my leg over my bike and head back to my Aunts nest.
I am almost positive both my Aunt and Nickoli will be waiting for me. And sure as hell they almost pounced on me.
"Where have you been?"Nickoli asks with a scowl.
"And why do you smell like wolf?" Placing my helmet on the table by the door, I slip my jacket off.
"I was out and that really is none of your business" I say as I place a hand on my hip.
"Lyra, where have you been? while you are under my care you will behave properly" My Aunt Tess almost growls at me with narrowed eyes. Rolling my eyes.
"I was at a bar that's all" I say as I wave a hand at them making my way to the stairs. I hear Nickoli making his way behind me, he grabs my arm and spins me around. I almost slam into his chest.
"Where you fucking a wolf?" He growls at me, his face is so close we are almost touching nose to nose. Pulling my arm free.
"What and who I do is none of your goddamn business" I snarl through clenched teeth in Russian, my eyes are ablaze with rage. How dare he put a hand on me, how fucking dare he. I move two steps and turn to him.
"If you touch me without my permission again Nickoli I will fucking kill you do you understand?" The utter look of shock on his face has me smirking as I turn and head to my room. Nickoli knows me well enough to know that was no threat it was a fucking promise.
There is a reason they couldn't find me when I set up the arms company, they assumed I was a man. My reputation as being deadly and not one to cross spread quickly and I was known as little death, personally I always found it funny especially in the middle east men do not appreciate a strong female so I did have to make an example or two just to prove a point.
Feeling slightly hungry I called down to one of the maids to bring me a live donor. As I slip out of my clothes I put on a robe and wait for my snack to arrive. I answer the door before they knock, impatient as always I take in the mediocre looking human guy who seems to think I am eyeing him up; He will do I guess.
I make my way to the sofa in the corner sitting down. The human sits beside me, feeding always makes me horny and if I allow some of my venom in his system he will feel euphoric. Fuck it, I spread my leg, snap my fingers and point to the floor between my legs. Ever the eager human he moves to between my legs.
"Give me your wrist and make me feel good" I say as he bend and laps at my now wet pussy the minute my fangs pierces the skin I allow a small amount of venom in and the eager human starts feasting on my pussy with a hunger I knew the venom would give. I close my eyes and the moody sexy Alphas face appears as the human works his tongue around my sensitive clit.
I must say my Aunt is a complete bitch but she sure knows how to keep her donor's blood clean and sweet. Listening for his heart to start to slow. I know I need to stop, but I allow him to finish me off. Retracting my fangs I wipe the corner of my mouth with the pad of my thumb. Pushing the human away his eyes are still glazed from my venom.
"That will be all please see yourself out" I say before I turn to take a shower. I know the humans are always disappointed I never fuck them, its a rule of mine.
