Their Vampire Queen book 3 : Queen Takes Queen

"My queen was many things. Gorgeous, powerful, sensual, a walking, breathing goddess incarnate.

But she was not a morning person.

Rik held her coffee cup beneath her nose but she still gave him a bleary look of exhaustion. “Whose stupid idea was it to be up so early for a meeting?”

He grinned at her and lifted the cup to her mouth. “Yours.”

Gina unzipped the traveling wardrobe that contained our queen’s clothing. “What image do you want to portray this morning?”

“That I’m not death warmed over.”

"I touched Guillaume's bond. :Are you comfortable with a small demonstration?:

:Absolutely, without question, my queen.:

"Surely you know of Guillaume de Payne's reputation."

Both brothers nodded, but their eyes tightened, and the brother with the red spiral on his cheek gripped his thighs firmly.

"When the last living Templar knight came to me, he did something very significant to show his willingness to submit to me and my alpha. Guillaume, would you please show them now?"

My knight strode into the room, inclined his head to me, and then lowered himself to the floor on his belly, hands flat against the floor, his eyes down. "I come in peace, my queen. I'm yours. Use me as you see fit."

The twins mirrored his movements without me saying a word, both going flat on their stomachs without hesitation.

Keeping my voice soft, I continued. "The great Templar knight who's famous for beheading alphas has gladly and willingly fucked me at the same time as my alpha. Even though Rik could have refused him access to me at all, he follows my alpha's orders to the letter."

"I obey my alpha without question because he guards my queen’s heart," Guillaume said, his voice carrying through the room even though he was on his stomach."

"Mayte could stretch out her hand and will the crops to fail, plants withering and rotting with disease. People would starve. Famine and disease would spread in the wake of her power. Unleashing a deadly plague on New York City would have been her last line of defense in order to protect her daughter.

I sank into her mind, absorbing her bond. Her power. The feel of her Blood suddenly firmed in my mind. I felt their fur and smelled the feral musk of their scents. Prowling the night, mighty predators, sleek and deadly. Their eyes glowed in the darkness of my mind. Daire's warcat hissed a warning and Eztli's gigantic black jaguar made a coughing growl that sent goose bumps racing down my arms. The two cats crouched in my mind, tails lashing.

:Be still. Leave him be.:

Eztli's jaguar looked at me and lowered his sleek body to the ground. Surrendering to my will.

Through her bond, I could control them. I could feel them. I hadn't realized what that would mean. I could order them, as I ordered my own Blood. I'd never given orders to someone I didn't love. I'd never had to force someone to do my will. But I felt that certainty now. I could command them to do anything at all, no matter how opposite to their natural inclinations, and they would be forced to do so.

Such power. It terrified me."
