Elijah: The Vampire King (The Hybrid Series) Book 8

Chapter 6: Revealed

(s****l Content)

Kolie

It was the day after the funeral of the Queen and future heir to the throne, Elijah had been silent, and I was tasked with finding the person or persons who killed the Queen. I had my suspicions for a long time, but I needed proof before going to the King about his lover, Elijah, who had loved Jonx and clung to him since Sherice died. The proof would have to be undisputed and undeniable if I were to nail Jonx to the wall. He was a sneaky b***h, but I was going to catch him and watch him burn for what he did to Elijah and Queen Sherice. Even Queen Mina started to suspect that it was someone close to the crown doing this because there was no way someone could have gotten in and out of the castle so fast without notice or outside help. I agreed with her and had been looking at our maps of the castle to find out if they had more secret passageways we didn't know about.

I was in the library checking out blueprints of the building that were ancient, which goes back to when Johrir's father was King, as he had this place built a long time ago. I found an old map that showed the ancient slave passage that they used so as not to be seen when guests were around, so I headed below the castle, learning the hidden hallways and trying to figure out how the person got to the Queen's quarters without being seen. I have been working on this for a few days now, and I have been keeping a close eye on Jonx; he will slip up again, and this time, I will be there to catch him, making sure he pays for his sins. I was leaving soon to attend Thorin's mating; he had asked me to attend, so I put my investigation on hold for a few days. However, Piot was investigating the disappearance of a witch who visited from Volterra on business but had not returned.

Four Days Later

I reached back from my long journey, and I was lucky to meet Delta Thorin's mate, Lady Stella; she was beautiful, and I congratulated him. We fought together in the last civil war, and we became friends; I also had a lover named Max, but it turned out I ended up being mated to his sister, who died in childbirth, and we had a beautiful daughter. Casey was now living with my mother, away from the castle, hoping that nothing would happen to her; she is around twelve now, but very feisty. Piot linked me to the findings, and I met up with him; he said that a servant had seen something that night, but when he went to meet her, she was dead. I said I was disappointed, and he smiled, saying, "This means we are on the right track; we just need to wait, and he will strike again."

As time went on, Elijah became more distant and cruel in his rulings; he was still hurting, and we all felt it. I had to step up my game when dealing with the common folk to ensure orders and rulings were fair and carried out accordingly. Joe decided to visit us after he was unable to attend the funeral of our late Queen. Piot escorted him to the throne room, where Elijah was having court. I saw Jonx on a bench reading a book, and I walked over to him as he was having wine and said, "Prince Kolie, how can I be of assistance?" I looked at him saying, "I hope you are behaving and not getting other young unsuspecting men killed," he said, "Cashmere was a mistake and I felt horrible that I got him killed, I love Elijah," as he looked at me with a smile on his face, and I could see right through it, I smiled saying, "Very well then, have a good day."

Piot called me out to the back of the castle after my meeting with Elijah to give him a heads-up on what little I found about the culprit or culprits. I didn't want to implement his lover until we had the proof and could link him to all the other murders, especially since King Joe was visiting; this would give him closure on his family's murders. I went to a forbidden well at the back of the Palace; no one used it, where Piot was standing, and he said, "I think I know how he got in and out without being seen." I smiled, told him, "Give me his theory." He said, "He used the slave tunnels that would take him here before anyone could know what happened; the servant, before she was killed, wanted me to meet her here, and I always wondered why, but when I got here, she was dead. No one knew she was here to meet me unless they were covering their tracks," and he showed me a blade embedded in the dirt, hidden under the stone by the well.

The servant seemed to have hidden it before being attacked, and it still had bloodstains on it; it was Jonx's dagger alright. Elijah had given it to him a few hundred years ago as a birthday gift. I turned to say we still needed proof, and he said, "Don't worry," as a rope was being brought up; I didn't even realize he had a man in the well. One of the men brought up a shirt that was not fully burnt; there was no water in the well, so it still had a few blood stains. I smiled, saying, "Now we can link him to the Queen's death, and once we figure out who helped him, there will be no denying it to Elijah." As the days went on, we came up with a way that he had made it in and out without being seen; we also had to prove he drugged Elijah somehow because he would have felt something was wrong with his mate. I headed back to my office to put the pieces together when I felt it, "f**k," I thought, and I knew I was running out of time.

Jonx

I was summoned to Elijah's quarters since the Queen and her spawn died; I was the only person in Elijah's life, and I loved all the attention he was giving me. He was in his robe, and a bottle of wine was on the table; he smiled at me, and I smiled back as he walked over and kissed me. It was intense this time; he was naked under this robe, and I knew what my King wanted. I sucked him off as he loves when I give him good blow jobs, and he enjoyed every moment of it. He undressed me and bit my neck, drinking and feeling him pump my c**k; it was intense as I closed my eyes, feeling the need to c*m in his hand. I held my legs to my chest as Elijah thrust in and out of my asshole; he was burying his c**k so deep I was lost to lust as incoherent moans left my mouth. I begged him not to stop as he pounded into me like a madman, the slapping of skin echoed in the room, and our s****l haze had us lost to s****l bliss.

Eventually, I was bent over as Elijah f**k me without mercy, and he grabbed my throat, pulled me back to his chest, and whispered, "You are mine, I won't give you up, promise me you will stay with me," kissing me passionately. We both say I love you, as I promised to be with him always; I knew he needed me, and I took all the punishment he gave me by pounding my asshole. I loved it as he hit my sweet spot, sending me off to my s****l high; his c**k felt amazing, and I wanted more and all of it. The moans in the room were loud, and I didn't care if his guards heard my King f*****g me; I would be his mate soon, he had promised to give me his mark this time, and without warning, he marked me as we both climaxed. I lay on the bed as it dawned on me that he finally marked me as his; he pulled me to his chest, and he turned his neck as I marked him. I was his King Consort, and I would be coronated soon; I had finally achieved my goal.

Jasper

I had visited Vampora after many years living in Ironside; I had my lover there, and he found his mate, so I decided to come home. I felt when we lost our Queen a few months back, we were all devastated for the King; he wanted this for so long, and rumors spread that someone was working against him. I was told about the random murder of maidens; some were even in his court before he released them, and I found that weird. Even though the bear King's family was caught in the crossfire a few months before the killing of the Queen, I was living in my parents' old house. They both passed during the Civil War when the Original Supremes had died; I was also older than the King by about ten years, but I smiled at that. I had settled in, doing repairs at night; I wasn't a day walker, so I stayed inside until sunset, getting some sleep in between, and that's when I felt it. The King had a new mate, and as vampires realized this, we all bowed, accepting his new mate, and we would meet our new King or Queen Consort in due time.
