Marko was already walking toward her at a fast pace. The deep kiss he presented her with had blood filling my mouth. I rolled my eyes to Aetas, who was staring ahead at them just as love-struck of their presence as every other sap in this place.
“How much longer?” I ground out. “I need to feed.”
Annoyance followed his gaze as he turned to me. “Soon. You will learn to control your cravings. And cheer up.” He threw me grin. “You get to feed from the queen. With as much power that’s going to be going through this room, anything could happen. Can you feel it, Prince? Can you feel the electricity in the air?” He waved his hand as a manipulative expression surfaced. Heat blasted over my skin and my cock grew hard. “I forgot how coronations could be. So much excitement with the entertainment. So much sex and lust.”
The anger fizzled out and I held in the moan as I whipped my focus to the queen.
“Remember what I said earlier. Remember to ask permission, my prince.” He winked at me as Marko and Tessa started walking over.
A group of men were collecting in the middle of the large room and human women were pushed in their direction. They were nude, covering themselves as they wildly looked around and let out squeaks of fear.
“Beautiful song,” Aetas rang out as Marko and Tessa took their seat. The queen was directly across from me, and Marko took his seat next to our leader. “I’ve never heard that one before. Where did you learn it?”
A blush came to Tessa’s cheeks. Her chest was rising in a rapid rhythm and I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the cleavage spilling free of the low cut evening gown she wore. The white lace underneath the corset did little to conceal the exposed portion of her breasts.
“Church, believe it or not. It wasn’t a song we sung during service, but one an older women in the choir knew. We spent weeks after practice perfecting it.”
“I’d say so. It was magical. Very,” Aetas hand rose and his finger shook as he searched for what he wanted to say.
“Enchanting?” I offered.
“Yes,” He said, pointing toward me. “Thank you, Prince. Enchanting, indeed, yet, I’m not sure there’s a word to really describe the magnitude.”
Tessa threw me a smile and went back to him. “It’s the violin. It wraps itself around the lyrics and gives the effect.”
Aetas shook his head. “No, I’m pretty sure they both did their job, but it was you—your voice interlaced with them. The whole thing was breathtaking.”
“Thank you, again.” Tessa’s cheeks grew even redder and she peeked over to Marko.
“You know I loved it,” he said, as if reading her mind. “You couldn’t have picked a more meaningful song.” He tapped over his heart and lifted her hand to kiss along her knuckles. When his teeth nipped at the ends, my fingers gripped to the edge of the table for stability. He wanted her, right here and right now, and so did I.
Screams and laughter erupted in the background, mixing with conversation to the right of me. It was all too much for the burning that was taking over my throat. Not to mention my cock. I was so fucking hard. How was I hard when all I wanted to do was tear the king apart?
“I think its time.”
Marko turned to look at Aetas and tightened his jaw, nodding.
“Queen, you will feed from the prince, and he from you. We bond and make this official. We start something amazing.”
Tessa’s mouth opened, only to close. She met Marko’s eyes and seconds passed before he nodded. Whether they were internally communicating or not was beyond me. I didn’t care as I watched her stand and walk around the table. I pushed out the chair, giving her room to take her position on my lap. Her weight settled and Marko’s negative energy had me glancing up. He didn’t speak, but he didn’t have to. The threat was clear. If I did anything to hurt her, he’d act out on what he really wanted to do.
A weird heat hit me again and I shook my head trying to figure out what it was. Fuck, I couldn’t breathe, and my skin. It was tingling all over.
“Prince.” Tessa’s hand slid over the length of my cheek as she lowered to sit on my right leg. “Look at me,” she purred. “See only me.”
Moans erupted somewhere in the distance and my maker’s words came barreling back. Anything was possible. Sex. Yes, people were having sex right here in front of everyone. The screams, the laughter, they fed the bloodlust that was taking over all of us. With our leader present, the atmosphere was being fed with his power. With Marko and Tessa’s power. Not to mention all the other leaders. But that heat?
“Look at you? But I’ve only ever seen you.” Where my words came, I had no idea. Tessa’s eyebrows drew in and she brought her face closer to mine, staring deeply into my eyes.
“You haven’t remembered on your own yet. How do you know this?”
My fingers circled around her wrist and I leaned more into her touch. “The heart doesn’t need to be reminded of what the mind fails to remember.”
Her lids closed and she lowered her head. Her face rubbed against the side of mine, before she lowered even more. Breath brushed along my ear and I shivered.
“You were my best friend. I loved you, but I love another now.”
“Can’t you love us both?”
