They had spent a good few hours within the cell that held the corpse and once the Elder's questions had been exhausted for the day, Ann, Adam, Lexi, and Allen left to allow the Elders to dissect the corpse itself.

None of them had any desire to remain behind and see what the insides of that foul creature looked like in person, and were quite content to allow the scholars to do what they did best and compile their findings into an exhaustive report.

Once they emerged back into the hallways of the ground floor, Lexi finally uncovered her mouth and nose, her face still wrinkled in disgust.

"Ugh! It's like the odor is stuck inside my nose now." She groaned in irritation as she rolled her eyes to the ceiling.

"I'm sorry we couldn't do anything about that Lexi. Odd that you could smell it and we couldn't though. Ann answered thoughtfully.

"Tell me about it. Necromancy stinks, quite literally and figuratively. I just don't understand why you couldn't smell it too." Lexi replied in disg

    Greyson looked down at the woman grabbing his arm with mild confusion as he tried to figure out what exactly it was that he had inadvertently walked into.He really didn't want to get caught up in any lover's quarrels but he had been intrigued by Lexi from the moment he had first laid eyes on her.She wasn't a wolf, that much was certain, but he couldn't place her scent. It was exhilarating, alluring, and called to him, yet he couldn't identify exactly what it was about her that intrigued him so much.He begrudgingly tore his eyes from her and glanced across at the pissed-off-looking man that she had identified as Allen, who was shooting daggers toward the both of them. He instantly felt his wolf respond and could barely contain the growl that threatened to erupt from his chest. The unspoken challenge in Allen's glare was obvious, but Greyson refused to respond with violence in front of his Queen and her consort.Instead, he turned his attention back to Lexi, the warmth of her bo

    Ann made her way back to her bedroom in silence, her mind whirring with all the thoughts that stemmed from today's revelations.Necromancy wasn't something that Ann was at all familiar with outside of movies and horror stories. To think that Narcissa and Ada were complicit in its use infuriated her beyond words.As soon as she entered the room and the door closed behind her she threw herself on the bed, sighing heavily.What a way to start her reign as Alpha Queen. Being forced to fend off a possible invasion spearheaded by the wicked stepmother and stepsister. Ann snorted to herself softly. It was almost as if her life was embroiled in the midst of a fantasy novel.She grumbled loudly to herself as she pushed herself up and reached for her phone. If anything strange had been happening then it was sure to be in the news, right?Ann scoured as many sites as she could for any possible clue but as far as she could tell there was nothing that would point to any attacks that were out of the

    [Mature Content]Ann allowed Adam to gently remove her top and slip her trousers off as she lay sideways on the bed. Her heart felt as though it were about to burst with the almost reverent way that he handled her. His wolf flickered in his eyes as he drank the sight of her near-naked body in, and a soothing rumble emitted from his chest. Ann stared up at this beautiful, yet powerful man as he caressed every inch of her body, his fingertips gentle, yet insistent as he awakened the fire in her belly with ease.She gasped lightly as he bent his head forwards and sealed his mouth around her nipple, flicking gently with his tongue as he slowly traced his fingers around her other breast and gradually slipped it lower, running his fingers around the hem of her panty line, sending delightful shivers of anticipation through her.She struggled not to moan loudly, knowing full well the guards stood just outside their bedroom door, as he moved his mouth to her other breast, the sudden warmth th

      The trio had traveled for days with Ely as their guide to see them safely through the treacherous terrain that they had found themselves in.   Ada had made the mistake of falling behind due to her exhaustion, but she had been met with nothing but scorn from both her mother and her new-found uncle. There was no sympathy or allowances made for the fact that she was pregnant and unfamiliar with this sort of physical activity. The fact that she hadn't eaten properly for days also seemed to bear no weight with either of them.  They had uncaringly left her in an exhausted heap on the floor and carried on without her when her legs gave way and if it hadn't been for Ada's terror at the prospect of becoming a meal for one of the many terrifying wild beasts that roamed the landscape and hid in the shadows at night, she would never have found the willpower to keep moving.  Her mother had made it very clear once she caught up with them, that if it happened again, she would leave her behind in

      Even in the dim light of the cavern with the shadows grasping greedily around the light, Ada could see her mother blanch suddenly and the briefest flicker of fear crossed her face.  "You're lying. It's not possible. He would not…" Narcissa stammered uncertainly as Ely chuckled darkly.  "You know very well that he would. Ada is your child and your responsibility. She does not hold the weight of responsibility until she has reached the age of twenty-one and been bound to the coven and the Lord himself." He snorted disdainfully as he flicked his eyes over Narcissa with what seemed like disgust.  Narcissa schooled her face into an emotionless mask as his words sank in and Ada couldn't help but wrap her arms around her belly a little tighter. If her mother was afraid, then Ada knew things were bad.  "I see you really haven't changed one bit, dear brother. Turned in by my own family… I should have seen it coming." She spat bitterly.  "I am simply carrying out orders, sister." Ely grin

      "Get out and seal the doors. No one leaves this chamber until I am finished, am I clear?" He growled as Ely scurried backward like a frightened mouse and fled through the doorway, the heavy doors swinging closed with an ear-splitting bang.  Before Ada could steal a frightened glance at her mother, the male's boots appeared in front of her limited line of vision again and she felt a slight breeze ripple across her. It was obvious that he had now grabbed Narcissa roughly by the throat and lifted her into the air beside her, as the only thing visible from her position were the tips of her mother's boots dangling above the ground.  "Now, Narcissa. It seems you have forgotten the great honor that was bestowed upon you all those years ago." the male chastised in a bored tone over the sounds of Narcissa struggling for breath.  His footsteps receded a little and Ada raised her head slightly. It was such a small movement but it allowed her to follow the progress of her mother's feet across

      Lexi had wandered with Greyson for a little while, making small talk as she allowed him to take the lead with the direction that they were headed.  She found herself pleasantly surprised by his ability to hold a conversation and he didn't seem to fawn over her, nor reject her which intrigued her greatly.  Men usually reacted in one of those two ways, and to find one who didn't was indeed a rarity.  It did cross her mind briefly that he may indeed be hiding his true feelings about her, but there was no discernible cause to do so in her mind unless it was to try to get information out of her about Ann of course. But, he hadn't brought her up in the conversation until now, so she was hesitant to condemn him so quickly.  "Is everything okay?" Greyson asked, stopping suddenly as he noticed her frown and his expression seemed to mirror her own as he frowned back at her in concern.  "Er, yeah? Why?" Lexi stammered defensively, a little shocked that he had even noticed.  "You're frowni

      At the mere sight of him, Lexi suddenly had no desire to tease Allen at this moment in time.   Looking at him like this, with the anger rolling off him in waves and the vein pulsing in his neck angrily, he looked dangerous. That was something that she had never seen in him before.  She swallowed nervously as he came to a stop before her, his chest heaving with anger. The golden irises of his wolf shone through brightly as he glowered down at her, the cloud of anger almost suffocating her as it seemed to envelop her completely.  "What the fuck are you doing here with him?" Allen snarled, with barely suppressed rage as Lexi stared at him, utterly transfixed by the metamorphosis of the quiet, restrained man that she had teased mercilessly to this vision of terrifying anger before her.  "I... uh..." she stammered, completely taken aback by his sudden appearance and the whole situation.  "Not a good answer, Lexi." He ground out as he took hold of her arm roughly and attempted to pull

      As their convoy of cars and moving vans rolled up the driveway, Ann's stomach twisted uncomfortably as her anxiety set in.  Regardless of what her babies were doing to her insides, the effects that her heightened emotions were having on her far eclipsed any discomfort that her pups were causing. She took a deep breath as she tried to calm the anxiety that knotted her insides and made her heart ache painfully.  As far as she knew, her father was still living within the palace and she still wasn't sure that she could forgive him for everything that she had been put through because of his choices.  In the worst-case scenario, she could always extend the palace to encompass two main living areas so that she wouldn't have to deal with tolerating his presence. She didn't even want to think about how she would explain to her children that they couldn't ever meet the incredible woman that her mother was because her father had an affair, broke the mating bond, and allowed his mistress and

      "Right, I think that's the last of them," Adam grinned as he jogged through the huge doors of the Enclave's entrance hall to where Ann was pacing restlessly and Bartholomew was watching with mild amusement.  "Finally," Ann sighed as she rubbed her belly with a grimace, "At this point, all I want to do is get my home back to what it used to be."  Adam leaned forward and planted a kiss on Ann's forehead.  "Are they making things difficult for you?" He asked gently, rubbing her back.  Ann reached for his hand with a scowl and placed it palm down on top of her belly and grimaced as another flurry of movement rippled under her skin and Adam blinked in surprise.  "Are they fighting in there?!" He asked in shock.  "With two stubborn Alpha's for parents, I wouldn't put it past them." Bartholomew chuckled as he made his way over to them, smiling kindly.  Ann lifted her gaze and her face softened as she looked at the kindly face of the old man that had been there for them through so muc

      When Coral had returned with the Omega that worked as a nanny to the nobles, the baby boy was handed over to her and she waddled off happily, cooing at the baby in her arms as it gurgled happily back up at her.  Coral began to work through updating the schedule for Ann as she dictated, adding additional notes that she shared with Allen's device. He would see to their schedule tomorrow as he had several days worth of reports to hear from Adam as to what had happened within the businesses and the Dark Moon Pack while he was away.  Lexi made her way back to her room with both Allen and Greyson following behind her. She paused outside her door and turned to them both with a smile.  "Sorry to disappoint boys, but I don't feel like getting frisky right now. Quite honestly, I just want to soak all of this crap off me."  They nodded at her as she looked at them thoughtfully.  "We really should sit down and have a discussion about how this is going to work between us all, you know." she

      "Well, I certainly wasn't expecting that." Ann said a little breathlessly as she looked between Lexi, Allen and Greyson.  Adam shared the same concerned expression as she did at the revelations that Eromaug would clearly stop at nothing to get his hands on Lexi.  "You're absolutely sure that your father is willing to ally himself with us?" Ann asked as the baby in her arms began to stir and protest at the noise and unfamiliar surroundings it had found itself in.  Lexi snorted loudly.  "Of course he is. How could he not when his daughter is your right hand woman?" She winked.  "We should put it to the council first." Adam said somberly as Lexi groaned loudly.  "I'm sure they'll be thrilled at the opportunity," She muttered sarcastically as Ann laughed.  "I think we should get hold of Bartholomew so that he can help us find a way to ‘tell' the council of our alliance, rather than ask for their permission." Ann mused thoughtfully, "He's pretty knowledgeable about who supports us,

      Ann and Adam stood on the front steps of the Enclave, eagerly waiting for the return of both of their Beta's. Adam chuckled as Ann fidgeted with her hands and struggled to stand still, her gaze fixed on the curve of the driveway.  "They'll be here soon, don't worry." He soothed, wrapping his arm around her as she nibbled on her bottom lip.  "What if something happened though?" She worried as she rubbed her little bump in an act of self soothing.  Adam's eyes glazed over slightly as he linked with Allen and then grinned down at his anxious wife.  "Allen said stop worrying, it's not good for the baby. They'll be here in seconds."  "But…"  As promised, the front end of the transport pulled around the corner of the driveway and Ann let out a sigh of relief.  "See, my Queen? Nothing to worry about." Adam chuckled as he watched them pull to a stop in front of them.  As soon as the door opened and Lexi's head emerged, Ann broke away from Adam and bolted down the steps towards her.

      Lexi knew that she was still conscious, but the pressure that engulfed her head, and the rigidity of her body teamed with the almost distant voices of protest from Allen and Greyson let her know that she had no control over what was happening right now.  The initial black curtain that had descended was suddenly filled with hundreds upon hundreds of memories from her childhood, all played out in glorious technicolor and accompanied by sounds and smells that made her heart ache with familiarity and her breath catch in her chest.  There was no way that she could catch each and every memory at once, but she could see it clearly. The bond that both she and Eromaug had shared at an early stage was filled with love and an intensity that she had known only with Allen and Greyson.  By the time the images had begun to fade in her mind's eye and her vision returned, she was overwhelmed with emotions. As she sat there trembling, clasping her hands together tightly so that she wouldn't cry wit

      Lord Brarthroroz guided Lexi over to one of the chairs around the table and gestured towards the flap of the tent.  "Make sure no one enters for the time being, Steve." He said with an air of resignation to his voice as he took a seat next to his daughter.  Steve nodded expressionlessly as he moved to the open flap, released the material to close it and ducked through to stand outside.  "You two should sit as well," Lord Brathroroz advised as he gestured to the seats across from Lexi, "This isn't easy for me to talk about." He continued with a grunt.  Greyson and Allen moved to comply and took their seats next to each other, both of them focused on Lexi.  Lord Brarthroroz sighed as he turned back to his daughter and cupped her face fondly.  "Before I start, I want you to understand that before your mother and I had you, neither of us realized just how deeply we could love and the desire to protect you from harm eclipsed everything else in our lives completely." He said gently a

      It hadn't taken their force long to clear the halls and clean up the bodies that were left behind.  The losses had been minimal on their part and considering the forces that they had thought they would be up against, their plans had meant that they had been far better equipped than the coven itself.  The Coven had left very few prisoners alive, and the ones that were still breathing were in pretty bad shape. Lexi and the other healers and medics had done what they could but there was no growing back limbs…no matter how proficient of a shifter you were.  Lord Brarthroroz had stationed huge numbers of his daemons within the winding passageways and caverns that the coven had previously inhabited and returned to the surface with his portalmancer Steve at his side.  He strode angrily across the makeshift camp to the command tent and paused at the entrance, glancing across at the medical tent where Lexi had been working.  Currently, she was cleaning her hands off as her mates watched

      She stood and with one last look at the lifeless body below her, turned her attention to the chaos at the other side of the room.  Narcissa had no problems keeping the attacks of the wolves at bay and Lexi could feel the emotions of the past few minutes bubbling wildly inside of her as she stormed towards her, her eyes blazing furiously.  Her father was still making little headway against Eromaug, but she wasn't concerned about his survival, he was more than capable of taking care of himself against his bastard of a brother.  Narcissa on the other hand…she had a lot to fucking answer for.  Lexi strode through the fighters battling the twisted Daemons that had emerged from the shadows, throwing her magick lazily towards the monstrosities as she passed, a sneer curling at her lips as the shifters watched her in terrified awe.  It wasn't long until Narcissa noticed her approach and her face split into a sneer that matched Lexi's as she swept her arm in front of her, knocking the ma
