Shackled (The Lord Series) by Amy T

Chapter 115

  1. Alekos

The last meeting we had with the Elders left us absolutely drained of energy. Planning a Piercing Ceremony is never easy, especially when one of the blood–brothers is a future Elder, and certain rules must be followed to ensure nothing goes wrong as we marry Angel in front of the other Lords. The past few days have been more than tiring, and I am exhausted, but I doubt I will sleep tonight.

Stefan groans in pain as he exits the car. Reyes and I do the same. “How long until the ceremony?” he complains.

“Around thirty–six hours,” I reply.

“I think I am going to die,” he whines as we head to the elevator.

Reyes tries to arrange his erection. “No, you won’t.” He doesn’t sound too convinced, either.

A strong aphrodisiac is given to the men two days before the Piercing Ceremony that will keep them in a permanent state of arousal, and they can’t have sex until their bonded receives her piercings from them, as they have to prove they can control themselves.

We received the aphrodisiac early this morning, and since then, we have avoided going home, knowing we will have a hard time not wanting to use Angel to alleviate ourselves. She has been calling and texting us, worried that something has happened, and as much as we would like to shove snow inside our pants and get drunk until the time to take her to the Blood Lodge comes, we can feel her distress and worry, and we can’t leave her like that.

My balls feel like they are about to explode, and my cock is throbbing so badly that I am sure that a few strokes will be enough to make myself feel better, but I can’t come until the day of the ceremony. For her, I will endure it.

We enter the apartment, and all the lights are off. A strong scent of cinnamon and vanilla cookies and other homemade goods lingers in the air. Liza has been coming over to clean and cook and keep Angel company when we are not around. When the renovations to our new house are done, Liza will be the one to take care of the Lair. I should have never trusted Giselle with such an important task. She even lied to Angel and let her believe we had orgies weekly. The one that really got me angry was Giselle implying she was my mistress. It took me several days to clear all the misunderstandings with Angel, and now she doesn’t think I am a huge asshole. Just a tiny one.

“Why did Liza turn off all the lights before leaving? She knows Angel is afraid of the dark,” Reyes wonders.

“Maybe she is already asleep,” Stefan suggests.

It is not that late, but being pregnant has her being tired most of the time, and sometimes she goes to bed early.

“We should get some rest as well,” I say.

The lights from the top floor of the apartment are on, and we go to our room, but Angel is not there either.

“Maybe she is in the nursery?” I wonder. We already bought everything the baby needs, and Angel is slowly putting it together. Sometimes, she falls asleep in the rocking chair.

Except, she isn’t there either.
