In the realm of Eshe, Shifters and Vampires do not mix and are governed by the Sila Treaty that maintains peace between the two breeds.

Our bodies pressed together had the same effect as the first time we met. He froze when I rubbed myself against him. I affected him as much as he affected me. This was good news for me. I was not in this predicament alone. I convinced myself.

Forbidden Mates

Alpha Lycus responded, “I don’t want to be mated to a blood-sucking night creature.” 


The words cut deep as he walked out of the council hall. Anger rose and I could feel my beast rising to the surface. How dare he? Did I ask for this?


Tristan walked into the room a few minutes later and one glance at me and he knew that things were bad. 


We left the Sila council fortress, and I could tell Tristan wanted to ask what happened but by the way I was huffing he left me alone. I arrived at the vampire coven villa and went straight to the library. 


Pacing up and down in the secret room, I wondered why my mate would utter such nasty words. Yes, I was a blood-sucking night creature. So what? I was handsome, rich, and powerful. Who wouldn’t want to be mated to me? 


Hours later after reading to calm my body down from the anger fits, I left the coven Archive Library for bed. Tristan was waiting for me in the hallway, and I knew that I owed him an explanation.
