Worlds Collide

Chapter 13: When enough is enough

Zach POV

There comes a point in every person, cryptid, paranormal, and animal’s life when enough is enough. One just can’t keep ‘poking the bear’ so to speak and not expect for s**t to get torn up and into pieces. Then act completely surprised and can’t understand why things happened. Well, that’s exactly what went down. s**t hit the fan when we vacated the jet. We were surrounded by the High Lord – Hector, again, and he didn’t look too happy to see us. He had us surrounded by his guards and Coven Masters that lived in the surrounding areas. I recognized a few of them and quickly figured out that the odds were stacked against us like always, but then Clouse wouldn’t be the Blood King and I wouldn’t be his Lieutenant if we were just a couple of submissive bitches now would we? Shifting into work mode was always easy. Some took Clouse for an easy target, but he was anything but that. I was a s****l deviant that was never taken seriously until now. I hadn’t let anyone see me spark for a very long time because they would see me take the hits, and now that was about to change. Within a blink of an eye, ultraviolet bullets were aimed at us and released. We were faster. Yeah, it’s hard to believe a couple of old geezers or ‘ancient artifacts’ like us could move so fast, but then again we were alive this long for a reason.

The ponds were taken down quickly, efficiently, and swiftly. The bullets never even grazed Clouse or me. The bullets stopped as quickly as the ones wielding them. The Coven Masters came next like the knights in shining armor but were again taken down. They were more alert and hands-on. Some had swords. Some just wanted the fight to the death and that is what they got. Those that pulled the swords were easily disarmed and decapitated. One could say they got ahead of themselves. One by one they came tumbling down to the pits of despair and ash. Checkmate.

“I knew you two were going to be our downfall. Once the council demanded we take your pregnant woman we knew we were condemned. Our allegiance was to you initially, but the council has ways of changing one’s mind.” Hector stood there before us, defeated, bloodied, and damned. “They took my beloved and forced my hand. Helena is gone and I’ll probably never see her again. The prophecy about your baby is vague, but my interpretation is he or she will be as strong as old magic. None will be able to defeat your child, but your child has to remain pure and not give in to either side of you or your woman. Clouse, Zach, I am … truly sorry. We are all damned souls and once we find happiness it never lasts for long. Cherish the feeling and her for as long as you can Clouse.” Hector fell to his knees and now bleeding from his mouth. “Zach, I never knew your importance in all of this until now, the Beta has her.” Hector coughed up more blood. “You’re a couple of badass motherfuckers.” We stood there and watched him disintegrate into ash and blow away.

Our pilots were still hiding in the jet. They looked up to see if we were still alive. Clouse was clearly in no mood for any more setbacks or follies. “Get this jet re-fueled and get with the air control. Let them know that we will be leaving within the next couple of hours. The destination is unknown right now until I choke it out of someone. I don’t want any excuses. If you die I will replace you, so don’t die in the process of getting the wrinkles ironed out for our departure. Understand?” Clouse didn’t wait for a response. They looked at me and nodded in response.

“Words gentlemen.” I glared at them with fangs descended.

“We understand Lieutenant.” The pilots said in unison. I turned around and followed after my friend. Time for some more rendering and ass-kicking.

We were now in our Hennessey Venom GT. It was the fastest car in the world and yellow so when it was at its fastest, it turned translucent. No one was able to see us and we did pass multiple obstacles that would have set us back had it been any other car or any other color. In a blink of an eye, we were now pulling up to the port. We made our way out and of course, it was like one of those badass scenes in the movies where it’s epically slow and we look all bad and sexy coming out of it. I felt cool at that moment. Thank you, Clouse.

“Welcome your Grace. I am the Uncle. I was told you do not have permission to be here in our territory. I must ask you to please get back into your Venom, turn around and leave immediately. If you refuse then you are choosing to stay at your own risk.” The Uncle was dressed in black dress slacks, a white dress shirt, a dress watch, nice loafers, and reading glasses. He was sitting comfortably on a lounge chair reading a book and everything was randomly in the middle of the port. A small circular side table with a single-stemmed red rose in a simple vase stood next to his chair. He was an average-sized middle-aged gentleman with a trimmed goatee. He was not a label kind of guy but dressed comfortably and his attire was not cheap, but tailor-made. We stood before him and he looked up at us from his glasses. He slowly closed his book and took a deep breath. “Well, I was hoping it would not come to this.” As he said this about thirty wolves came out of the shadows to surround us. “You see, I understand your situation; however, your bride-to-be and the baby she is carrying is a threat to all of us. I’m not one for hurting women and children, but this is an exception to the rule. We tried to come after her, but she is being protected by something stronger than us or even you. Two of my very best have already tried and died. I am telling you this so you understand the gravity of your predicament.” His last sentence sounded glum. He sounded sincere. Our eyes still glowed with rage and we were ready. “Very well. I want you to know I take no pleasure in going up against the King of Vampires or his Lieutenant.”

“You’re pathetic in fearing a future that has not yet come to be. Change your mind and re-join my allegiance or die.” Clouse said firmly.

“Death comes for us all your Grace. I am not afraid. I have nothing to lose. You do though.” The Uncle’s eyes twinkled and a weird glimmer went across them. He was spellbound. He wasn’t himself. There was a higher power controlling him, this and wasting our time.

“COME OUT! DON’T HIDE BEHIND HIGH LORDS WITH SPELLS AND CURSES YOU COWARD LOW LIFE!” I screamed into the shadows. The wolves surrounding us fizzled into mist and out came one of the most delectable witches that ever graced this earth. She was young and powerful. I watched her as she glided over to the Uncle. She touched him and he crumpled to the ground.

“Esmeralda. What are you doing and why are you getting involved? I hold true to my promise in Mexico. Step aside.” Clouse looked at her and snarled. I walked over to her immediately. Her eyes grew wide as I approached her. Clouse was watching me with an eyebrow c****d. I grabbed her around the waist, pulled her to me, and kissed her. The feeling between us was instantaneous. An electrical breeze literally blew between and around us as we made contact. “Zach?”

I looked into her beautiful brown eyes. She was voluptuous and downright gorgeous. She turned into putty in my hands and gave me a soft moan. It was heavenly if there is a heaven. She pulled away from me and as I opened my eyes to look into her sexy bedroom eyes she slapped me. “How dare you! I don’t know you! Don’t touch me!” I smiled at her. “NO! YOU CAN’T BE!”

“Clouse, she is the one,” I said low enough for only both of them to hear. I looked her up and down and tilted my head waiting for Clouse to reply. He clicked his tongue and with his gesture, he was torn and let me do what I needed to do. I turned my attention back to her. “Como se llama mi amor?” I had to smell her. I noticed she had pulled a dagger to stab me, but I grabbed her hand before she could and licked from the back of her ear to the nape of her neck. “May I?” She glowered at me but nodded in approval. She was mine now forever. I sunk my fangs into her neck. She hissed in pain. I caught it and projected other things into her mind to relieve the pain. Her pain quickly turned into pleasure. I licked her puncture wounds so they healed quickly. I brought her face to mine as I discovered her mouth. She moaned and dropped the dagger. She encouraged my hands to her breasts and I massaged her globes. By now I could smell her pheromones and lifted her dress to finger her. She never swatted my hand away and pushed my hand further down for me to do what I wanted. My breath hitched. Well, she slapped me earlier so call me Suzy. My mate was a hermaphrodite. She looked at me slightly embarrassed and I licked my lips and nipped hers. She saw my invitation and unzipped my pants. She was pulling out my d**k and I chuckled at her impatience. She gripped me and her desire of how she wanted my d**k was soon to be. She intensified her kiss and came to my ear as I hoisted her up.

“f**k me please.” She whispered hoarsely to me. I pulled her back to be face to face with me.

“Your wish is my command.” I eased myself into her weeping cunt and slowly slid in and out of her to coat myself in her juices. She sighed and moaned as she held onto me and gripped my clothes to hold on for dear life. I took her cue to proceed to give her the ride of her life. I moved faster in a s****l frenzy of need and want. She screamed in desire and pleasure. She yelled my name. I knew she had known about me. I thrust deeper, harder and shorter strokes to make her climax. She threw her head back and the sounds of her coming on me made me climax with her. She clung to me and hugged me. I lifted her gently to slide my d**k out of her. She whimpered at the vacancy. “Believe me when I say we will do much more of this my love.” She smiled already drunk with s*x.

“Zach!” Clouse yelled again. We turned around to look at him.

“Clouse, my King, please let me introduce you to my beloved and the one, Esmeralda.” Clouse’s face lifted from pissed to amused. He smiled wide and began to laugh. I frowned. “What the f**k is so funny?!” I snarled at him. He put his hands up and took a step back from me.

“It’s absolutely ironic that she should be your mate after what all is going on. I am overjoyed for the both of you.” Clouse took two steps forward towards us. “I have to know where my Queen and baby are. I have to know why you were against us, Esmeralda. What is going on?” Clouse went from laughing to crossed arms and an eyebrow c****d. Esmeralda looked down at her hands. Clouse was getting angry and I couldn’t blame him because we were wasting time, but the fact that my beloved was now found also had me on the fence of being mad at the both of them. I had to force myself to stay out of this one. I know that since she was now mated to me he wouldn’t kill her.

“You WILL TELL ME NOW! When did the boat leave port?! And why were you helping them?!” Esmeralda looked to me for help. I tilted her head up and looked into her eyes.

“Tell us, my love. We are on borrowed time. Your Queen is in peril and we need to save her and her baby.” I searched her eyes and they were filled with fear and sadness. I gazed and hypnotized her to find out what was going on. I felt horrible doing it, but we needed to be on the move. I saw it like a movie reel. A council member had wolves come and rally up her family and threaten her. They destroyed her family’s ranch and belongings and dragged her away from her family kicking and screaming. Her family was taken in a white van and drove off. I roared when I was done looking into her mind. “They burned her home down, took her family, and kidnapped her to make her do this Clouse. They put something on her to dampen her magic so she couldn’t fight back as well as threaten to kill her family in front of her. She had no choice and now they have her family. They are using them for leverage.” I embraced my love as she wept hysterically in my arms. “Clouse, she doesn’t know the location. She was forced to be a distraction with a fight until the death. What’s our next move?” As if the Fates heard us the Uncle stirred, got on his hands and knees, put his hand on his head, and shook his head back and forth to come out of the spell.

“What in the world just happened?” He looked at us bewildered then as if something ‘clicked’ he knew. “What is today? What time is it?” He advanced towards Esmeralda. “YOU!” He lunged for her and I blocked their path. “You filthy WITCH! I should kill you for spellbinding me! I’ve killed for less!” I snarled at him and he looked up at me.

“Touch her and you die,” I said to him with menace in my voice. He immediately stopped and straightened himself up. I let him go. Esmeralda cowered behind me.

“The future Queen and an arm full of paranormal mercenaries took off at seven o’clock from port 211. Destination is bound for Portugal. I got word from the merfolk though that a bad storm was coming and that they would probably have to turn back and land in New York. I will keep my pack on alert for your highness. If anything comes about then I will call you immediately.” Clouse and I nodded in agreement. “Oh, your majesty? Should you happen to not kill that Beta that pulled this operation I would appreciate you sending him my way, please. I have a score to settle with him.” He lowered his glasses and looked at my Esmeralda. “My dear, you are one lucky witch. Had you not been his beloved I would have taken great pleasure in introducing you to Karma. You are safe from my pack and me. IF however, you pull this on me again, I will brave your soon-to-be husband and come for you. Am I clear?” She nodded and shook her head violently. “Good day.” The Uncle turned around and left.

“Let’s get back to the jet. All three of us. Esmeralda, my dear do you know if your family could possibly be on that boat too?” Esmeralda shrugged her shoulders. “Well, we need to find out because if they are then that boat is being watched by more than just us or humans. It’s also dangerous. Can you manipulate the weather?” As Clouse asked the fog rolled in. We looked at each other.

“s**t!” We said in unison. The fog meant trouble. Time to let the airport know our flight plan was taking us to New York. We got back in record time, got in the jet, and back into the night we went.
