Things between Darren and I had been intense, but in the best of ways. It had been a few days since I came here, and tonight, there was going to be a banquet to introduce me as the future queen. I had to wait until the new moon to be crowned as the official queen. It had something to do with the moon goddess’ blessing and her accepting me as the queen.

Darren has been busy for most of the day today. He went to the vault, determined to find answers about my family and the curse. He was now afraid of his anger, because he knew it caused me some discomfort. There were only a few minor incidents, but I could see the pain in his eyes. As soon as I help his emotions, he immediately clings to me, apologizing and checking to see if I’m okay. He even asked me not to accompany him as much, so I won’t suffer. But that was ridiculous. If I could help him and potentially save others from his anger, I would.

Today turned the tables on Winifred and Milo’s relationship. Last night, they both retired

    My fur bristled in excitement as Lyle’s brown lycan fought two lycans. The sounds of growls and snarls filled the air while their powerful bodies collided. Yes, he could hold his own, but the point was to subdue them. How could he subdue two lycans? My eyes narrowed on the black lycan that was about to bite Lyle in the back. Without hesitating, I tackled him. I didn’t want to hurt him since I knew he wasn’t in control.The impact sent both of us tumbling across the floor, the black lycan snarling and snapping wildly. I tried to maintain a firm grip on him, using all my strength to keep his jaws away from my body. A sharp pain shot through my side as the black lycan’s claws connected with my flank. I winced but pushed back into him. I locked eyes with him, feeling the intensity of his feral gaze pierce through me like a razor-sharp blade. It was a primal stare that threatened to consume me whole, but I refused to back down.I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins as I star

    I slowly licked his arm where the traces of blood were. “Pay attention to me.” I whispered. The next minute I was yanked forcefully from Lyle and into his arms. I stumbled from the lack of strength in my legs.“What happened to her?” Darren’s voice was instantly concerned. He lifted my body up, cradling it in his arms.“She was able to use a new gift from you.”“Already?! Shit.” Darren muttered and I felt his nose trace against my cheek. “You must be exhausted,” he cooed to me, changing his demeanor completely.“Stay with me,” I whispered, leaning my head against his chest. How did I feel so much better just being in his arms?DarrenI admit, when I first charged into the room, I saw red. My mate was clinging to my brother, who was holding her in return. I didn’t analyze the situation because I was already livid. I went looking for Ally, and the maid told me she went to the training arena. THE TRAINING ARENA! Gods, I flipped. I was in a blind rage when I stormed into the room, and I co

    AllissaI opened my eyes to the sight of my handsome mate’s face. His eyes were closed, his arms around me. I took a moment just to stare at him. It was hard to believe how much things had already changed. Last month I was living in another pack as their luna, being cheated on by my mate. I was hurting from the loss of my pup and I felt so lost, with no one to comfort me. But since I met Darren, I didn’t hurt anymore. Yes, I was still sad, but I was healing. I found myself excited for the evening, because I knew I would get to have Darren all to myself.I never thought I would EVER be one of those clingy women. I wasn’t one completely, either. I knew he had a job to do, and I was proud of him for working hard. But I would love to just stay locked away with him for months, just the two of us, where our only goal for the day was to see how long we could have sex before we became too exhausted to go on. Where we would challenge ourselves to beat our record for the amount of times we wer

    Allissa“No!” I batted Darren away as he tried to ravish me again. I had emerged from the bathroom and was looking at my reflection in the mirror. It showed the long silver gown clinging to my figure. The silky material flowed down to the floor, with a high slit on one side that revealed a hint of leg with each step. My makeup was flawlessly applied, accentuating my features and adding a touch of glamor to my look. In that millisecond, Darren was lifting up my dress and kissing my neck. Seriously, we had just spent the entire time devouring each other up until the last thirty minutes.“Later, then,” he growled with a pout. I laughed and spun around in his arms.“Just try to keep me off of you later. You’ll be begging for a break.”“Promise?” He dug his fingers in my skin as he looked me over.Rising up on the tips of my toes, I pressed my lips gently against his. The feelings between us were intense, but it was everything I’d ever wanted. Every touch, every kiss was like a puzzle piec

    “This is the future queen, Lady Allissa. Once she is crowned, I expect you all to refer to her as her highness or her majesty. For today, Lady Allissa will be just fine.” Winifred patted my hand with a smile.“We should have a toast to our future queen,” Cleo said, motioning one of the servers over. The server handed us each a drink as Cleo raised hers in the air. “To our queen. May she lead our pack with wisdom and grace.”I wasn’t buying this act at all, and I knew something else was up her sleeves. The ladies all lifted their glasses up, and I joined them. Toasting to myself. To my surprise, the drink was sparkling, with a hint of alcohol. It had a unique aged grape flavoring. “That is our kingdom’s finest wine. Of course you know all about our ancient vineyards as our future queen, right?”And there it was. She wanted to use this moment to insult my intelligence and show how incompetent I was.“I have seen the vineyards from the balcony. I want to take a stroll through them once t

    “Here’s the room. The diaries are under the desk in the safe, and the keys are in the drawer.” Cleo held the door open as we walked inside. She stayed there watching as I pulled the key out of the drawer. “I’ll leave you to it. When you’re finished, just lock the diaries back up. We don’t allow them to leave this room. I won’t hover, so take your time.”Lyle watched as she closed the door and then glanced back at me. “You buying this?”“Not at all. I’m guessing she thinks what I read in these diaries is going to change my mind.” I shrugged, bending down to unlock the box. “The thing is, that Darren isn’t my Darren. It’s almost like I’ll be reading about someone with the same name, but it isn’t him.”“That Darren isn’t your Darren,” Lyle said, and I turned to see his small smile. “My brother is a happier man now. His face now shows emotions that aren’t anger. My brother one year ago is not the same man that you know. The moment you met him, everything began to change. Slowly, he is act

    “What the hell are you guys doing here?” Lyle asked, relaxing in front of me as he looked at the five other men in the room.
“We were given a letter to report here for investigating. Then the wall closed up on us.” I recognized the voice and looked around Lyle to see Ryder. He appeared to be sweaty ... all the men looked sweaty.
“Shit, stay back Ryder,” Lyle growled, shaking his head. “You are in pre-rut. All of you are ... what the hell happened?”
“Something must be inducing it. The room is coated in Eula gel. That is a reactor when combined with Grananole. Shit ... the drink. The wine had a very sweet grape taste. That had to be Grananole.” Ryder took a few steps back. “You’ve got to get her out of here,” he said, motioning to me.
The wine ... the same wine that I drank ... and also Lyle. He looked back at me and panicked, and I knew he was thinking it too. I also could see the sweat starting to bead up on his forehead as a strange, warm sensation took over my body.

    Savage snarls reverberated through the air, drowning out all other sounds. Clumps of fur were ripped and thrown in all directions, a gruesome dance of carnage as blood sprayed through the air. The hungry frenzy showed no signs of relenting, as teeth gnashed and sharp nails raked across fur in a primal display of violence.I wanted to help ... maybe I could use my gifts I got from Darren? But the searing pain brought me to my knees. I cried out in pain. It felt like my stomach was being ripped apart. Everything blurred in and out. The room was muffled momentarily. As my hearing came back, I realized I didn’t hear the sound of fighting anymore. I glanced up to see a pile of lycans laying on the ground. Standing next to them was Lyle’s brown lycan. He turned and looked at me.Our eyes met as I let out a shuddering breath. The pain was like nothing I had ever experienced. I thought Alfred’s infidelity was bad, but this was far worse. I rested my cheek on the cold stone floor, watching as

    “It’s my father. He’s depressed, and I don’t know what to do. He isn’t eating. Issy. He is taking this thing with mom so hard. I’ve never seen him like this.” I could see the pain in Lyle’s eyes. He also looked tired. I was sure it had been a heavy burden on him, running the kingdom in a time of war.“I’m here to help. I’m not going anywhere. As you can see, the little pup is growing quickly. I think I’m a bit farther along. This happened before I went into heat, even though Darren used precaution. Unless, because we are both powerful lycans, things have sped up?”“All lycan pregnancies are different, but royal pregnancies have always been unpredictable. And you are the true royal … I’m guessing that has a lot to do with this.” I listened as he sighed. “How is Darren?”“Getting ready to head into Catata as we speak.” I pursed my lips together. “I want to be by his side.”“I do, too,” Lyle admitted. “I’m glad you’re here. I can use your help. There is also one more thing … and I hate t

    The next few days were busy. They created a new strategy and decided they would head to Catata after the naga arrived. From there, they would continue to push into vampire territory, going in aggressive and hard. They intended to launch a full assault with the sorcerers and fairies, then come in with the muscles. They had created new enchantments for the soldiers and protection spells against the demons, pulling up the old archives of what they used before and adding to them. The element of surprise was now gone, and they were better prepared. Hopefully, this meant no more heavy losses for our alliance.My nights with Darren had been pure fire. His lips touched every inch of my body. He whispered how much he loved me over my skin, as if he were trying to engrave the words on my body. Our lovemaking had always been passionate, but these past nights … there was an urgency, a desperation that left me breathless.“Thinking of me?” Darren whispered as his arms pulled me to his chest.“I was

    “I—”“I asked you to stay with me,” he growled against my hair. I could feel the small tremble in his fingers, which showed me how upset he was. “Dammit Ally, do you know how worried I was?!”“I didn’t exactly go gallivanting off into mortal peril. Unlike some people I could mention. Now you know how it feels to wake up and the other isn’t there.” I lifted my chin up at him and poked him in the chest. I felt the gentle vibrations of his tired laugh as he let out a sigh.“You win.” He yawned and I grabbed his hand, dragging him back to bed.“You should be resting.” I pushed him down and he pulled me on top of him. He rested his hands on my hips and looked at me pointedly.“Did you have to pee? I would have walked you to the—”“No, I didn’t, but if I did, I wouldn’t have woken you up for such a silly thing.” His eyes looked at me expectantly and I knew he wasn’t going to go to sleep without an answer.“I smelled my old pack, and I went out in search of it. Bastian is here. I guess he bro

    We all decided to walk back to camp, in case there were others that needed our help. Darren had his arm wrapped tightly against my waist. He was exhausted, since he hadn’t slept and had gone straight into another battle.“Are you okay?” I asked, his green eyes flipping to mine with a smile.“I’m fine. Nothing a little sleep won’t cure.”“We’re going to be staying at the camp for a few days to strategize. We’re also waiting for the naga to join us.”“Why haven’t they arrived yet?” Darren growled, his annoyance evident.Dayanara’s lips quirked into a smirk. “Ah, yes. Their general is currently...indisposed. Molting, if you can believe it. They’ll join us when he’s finished shedding his skin.”I wrinkled my nose at the mental image. “Charming.”“Nature isn’t always pretty, darling,” Dayanara quipped with a wink.Finn glanced back to look at me. “How is Ivan holding up?”“I think he’s pretty shaken up over Anton. He’s trying to be strong, though,” I answered, Dayanara nodding in agreement.

    Dayanara’s tongue clicked as we soared through the sky. “Witch, hmph. I am far beyond a simple witch.”“Umm, where are you taking me?” I asked, sensing she didn’t mean me any harm.She turned her head, a smile on her lips. “You don’t strike me as the type to wait for her mate to return. How about we go find him?”I could have kissed this woman. My smile widened, and I felt tears of gratitude prick my eyes. “Thank you!”“I couldn’t stand seeing your worried face any longer. I heard you’re pregnant. Don’t worry, I will keep you safe.”“It isn’t like I can’t fight now. Darren left without me … I would have gone, too,” I grumbled. “Last night, I decided it would be best for me to return to the Lycan Kingdom, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t have fought today.”“It’s difficult.” Dayanara sighed, turning her head slightly. “It’s a tough choice to step back instead of fighting. You’re making the right choice for your family. I’m sure your mate just wanted you safe … just like you want him sa

    My heart pounded like a war drum as I burst into the infirmary. I saw Ivan standing near a bed as fairy healers frantically went to work.“You fool. You dumb fool. Why did you take the hit for me?!” Ivan’s voice was shaky and angry. I watched as he gripped the edge of the bed.“Step back. We need the room.” A fairy crowded in front of him as he took a small, retreating step away from the bed. Gods, if Ivan was here, then it had to be either Darren or Finn. And by the looks of the healers, it was serious.“Darren? Finn?” I choked out, fear clawing at my throat.Ivan turned, his golden eyes filled with anguish, and stepped aside. The world tilted as I saw Anton’s pale face, his chest barely moving. It was Ivan’s brother. He was the future king, but close enough to be called one.“What happened?” I breathed out, moving closer.“Energy blast,” Ivan growled, his fists clenched at his sides. “The idiot jumped in front of it to protect me.”A fairy with shimmering wings hovered over Anton’s p

    I turned over in the tangled sheets, my body instinctively searching for Darren’s familiar warmth, but as my hand reached out, I was met with an empty space and a cool spot on the bed. My eyes snapped open. “Darren?” I called softly, scanning the dark interior of the tent. The faint glow of the dull morning light filtered through the fabric walls, casting shadows on the ground below. Darren was gone, and judging by the coolness of the blanket, he had been gone for quite some time.With a sigh, I swung my legs over the edge of the cot and stood, wrapping myself in a thick robe. The soft fur lining tickled my skin as I cinched it tight around my waist.I pushed aside the canvas and stepped out into the crisp morning air. A shiver ran through me as the cool breeze caressed my face. The camp was already stirring to life around me.My eyes scanned the misty field, searching for that familiar, broad-shouldered silhouette. Nothing. Just tents and trees and the soft glow of dawn. My stomach tw

    AllissaThe thick canvas of the white tent muffled the sounds from the outside. I stood behind the gathered leaders, my eyes fixed on the map spread across the makeshift war table. Darren was right in front of me, and I watched as his fingers moved over the parchment. The centaur prince to his left growled low in his throat, shaking his head. “That leaves the eastern villages exposed. We can’t risk it.”“And if we pull back to defend them, we lose our advantage in the mountains,” countered the harpy queen, her wings rustling with agitation.I bit my lip, my mind racing as I considered the implications of each strategy. The complexity of inter-species politics had never felt more daunting. One wrong move could shatter fragile alliances, doom innocent lives.My gaze drifted across the tent, taking in the assembled leaders. Battle-worn and weary, they bore the marks of our recent struggles. A bandaged arm here, a haunted look there. When my eyes landed on Asta, standing quiet and watchfu

    DarrenI had Allissa taken to the fairy infirmary just to be safe. A petite fairy with iridescent wings, a healer, tested her blood. Her hand glowed with a soft white light as she waved it over Ally’s body. She confirmed there was mistletoe in her blood but that her blood was attacking it. Little by little, it was removing it from her body. The healer also did a special check on our pup.I didn’t know much about fairies before, but they’re amazing. She was able to see our pup. She said the pup was strong, very healthy, and growing rapidly. Our pups tended to do that. Our gestation was anywhere from four to six months, depending on the pup and mother.“You already have a little bump starting to show,” the fairy healer said, motioning over Ally’s stomach. I watched as Ally flashed her beautiful smile up at me. Gods, was it like this for everyone? My heart beat faster just because she smiled at me. I remembered the mistletoe in her system then. “Remarkably advanced for the short time ...
