Kane’s POV

We make it back to our cars just before sunrise. The wolves collapse where they stand. They’re exhausted, and I can't keep pushing them. We’ll need to camp here for the day, and pray to The Goddess that the Templars don’t come after us.

I lay Adare on a soft patch of grass and limp around the back of the SUV to find some clothes. I drag out a thick coat for Willow and find a pair of jeans for myself. Some of the Alphas had the forethought to bring Omegas with them, and they are bustling around, preparing food and bringing clothes to their warriors.

I fall next to Willow who is busy freeing Adare from his bindings, and fold my coat around her frail shoulders. She is turning blue and shaking from head to toe. “Come on,” I say softly, and help her into the coat. “You need to eat something and get some rest.”

“Adare needs a clean nappy, and he has to nurse.”

We have exactly zero supplies for the baby. I call an Omega over and explain the situation to her. She nods and takes

I'm glad he's finally got them back, and for some reason I think justice is going to be a pain

    Kane is gone by the time I wake up. It’s mid-afternoon, and Adare is still sleeping soundly. I guess the last few days were too much excitement for him too. Regardless, I wake and nurse him, calling Justine over to help me with the makeshift nappy before I finally get out of the car. I like her and trusted her right away. It’s a shame she’s not part of our tribe. I need a bath and clean clothes. I stink to high heaven and I desperately need to pee. I stretch and yawn, looking around the campground. The wolves are recovering quickly, and getting ready for the day. We’ll need to move on soon. The only advantage we have over the humans right now is that we can easily move into territory they have difficulty accessing, but they’ll find their way to us sooner or later. Tully comes bouncing up to me, a huge smile on her face. “Hey,” she chirps and holds her arms out to take Adare. “Come, I’ll show you where you can pee and wash.” Like me, she just shakes the trauma off. When you’re used

    I’m terrified. I can’t move. All I can do is lie here and hyperventilate. “Come on, Willow,” I scold myself. “You are not this weak. Get up! Move.”I am just barely aware of Kane’s presence. I don’t even know when he showed up. “You are having a panic attack,” he says. “Again.”“No.”“Yes,” he answers me, and like that night in the bedroom lifts me up and sits behind me.I’m still frozen. Terror cycles into anger, which morphs into a weird kind of glee that makes me laugh like a maniac, but before I can examine this rapid shift between emotions, I’m back to being petrified. “What’s wrong with me?”“I don’t know.”“Where is Adare? Something’s wrong with Adare. He’s in danger.”“He’s fine. He’s with Phillip.”I trust Phillip, but why do I feel like my mate just delivered my son into the hands of The Templars? “No,” I screech and try to get away, but Kane yanks me back and wraps his arms and legs around me. “I need to get him. They’ll kill him when they find out what he is.”“Calm down.

    Kane's POVI keep an eye on Willow while she climbs up the embankment, only when she’s safely at the top do I turn back to the witch. “Thank you. I know you put yourself at risk to do this.”Katherine smiles and nods. “I haven’t done many good things in my life.”“That’s not your fault.” She gives me a sad smile. I wish I could do something for her. “Do you want to come with us? Back to my kingdom?”“No. I have to get back. The others depend on me.”“Okay,” I say softly. “Stay safe, Katherine.”She nods and turns to walk away, but just as quickly she turns around and returns. “What the priestess said…she didn’t mean it, you do know that, right?”“Are you sure about that?” I ask, folding my hands across my chest. “What if the magic just forced her to tell me how she truly feels?”“No. The magic in those collars, it…twists every beautiful thing into something ugly. Especially that wolf-killer they put on her. I can’t make you understand, but it’s always like this. It’s like…we want to d

    Kane's POV We stop at the first village we come across. Willow is exhausted and Adare needs proper nappies. The pup is fussy and starting to stink a little from the soiled clothes. There are exactly three businesses in the little village. A pub, a clothing store, and a general store that sells everything from freezer meals to aspirin. Usually, I’d find a place like this charming, but I’m in too much of a foul mood today to enjoy it. The old human behind the counter looks up when I walk in, a bell above the door announcing my arrival. I turn on the charm, even though I don’t feel like it. “Good afternoon,” I say. The old man nods at me. “How ye doin’?” I don’t answer him. He doesn’t really expect an answer, it’s just his way of saying hello. I walk down the isles, aware that the man’s eyes are on me at all times. I suppose I must look a bit suspicious in my filthy jeans and muddy t-shirt. I grab some wipes and a box of nappies and take the few items back to the ancient register. “

    We are home. Finally.Kane unlocks the door to our apartment and sends my guards on their way. “Tell Leo to send up someone else…tell him to choose only from the guards that volunteered to take the oath.”“Yes, your majesty,” Phillip says and disappears down the hallway.Tessa took care of the two Omegas we brought with us. “I want them to report to me tomorrow morning at nine,” Kane said.“Of course, your majesty,” Tessa agreed.“From now on, they’ll be the only two allowed to attend to me and the queen.”I could see the confusion on our butler’s face, but she didn’t question Kane, just kept agreeing with him.Sighing, Kane drops his bags and looks around the apartment. It’s clean, as always, but the Omegas couldn’t erase the traces of magic left behind. The shadows of the runes someone drew on the floor are still here, and I can see scorch marks left behind by candles.With Adare cradled in one arm, I hover my other hand over the spot, feeling the magic they left behind.

    I sit at the kitchen counter, watching Kane prepare breakfast. It’s so normal that I can almost believe that we were never separated. Adare is bouncing on my lap, his legs and arms flailing around. “You are a busy boy today,” I say and hold him upright.The baby gives me a big, toothless grin that melts my heart. Kane looks up from the stove and smiles, but doesn’t say anything. The silence between us is natural and comfortable. I thought it would be weird to be back, but it’s the opposite. “I have to go find Tully later,” I say. “Apologise to her.”“Don’t the two of you share a mind link?”“We do, but she’s either blocking me or still asleep.”“I would rather you didn’t leave the apartment today, Willow.”I look over Adare’s head at my mate who is staring at me with a worried frown between his eyes. “I spent the last week locked up in a tiny room, now you want to do the same thing to me?”“It’s not forever…just until we have the castle fortified and a process in place to detect human

    Kane's POVI reluctantly leave Willow and Adare. It would be best if I spend the day with my family, more specifically Willow, so I can reconnect with them, and give our heavy hearts some time to heal, but Jackson already texted me asking when we can talk. There’s too much to do, and I can’t wait until another attack before I do something about The Templars.Phillip and Arlene are already on their posts, standing on either side of the front door. “Good morning,” I grumble. “What are you doing here?”“Uh…guard duty, King,” Phillip says.“You’re supposed to be resting.”“We rested,” Arlene replies. “Now we’re back.”“We don’t trust the others, King,” Phillip adds.I can’t really give them a sermon on the issue of trust. I can barely bring myself to trust the ones I’ve known all my life. “Very well.” I sigh and rub my eyes. “I emailed you a list of the wolves that are allowed up here. No one else comes near my family.”“Yes, King,” they say at once.I drag my feet away from the apartment

    Kane's POV I stop right outside the entrance to the dungeons. I really don’t want to do this. A death sentence would have been kinder. Banishing someone is not the same as exiling them – a banished wolf can still find sanctuary with another pack if the Alpha will have them, exile means no one will ever take my father in again. He’ll be less than a rogue. A nobody. Running for the rest of his life. I wait until Glenn joins us with Willow by his side and two of her guards, Remi and Julia, following closely behind. She has Adare strapped to her chest like always. I wonder how long she’s going to do that, but now isn't the time for that conversation. She doesn’t ask any questions, but takes my hand and gives it a squeeze. “Wait up here,” I say. “The silver cells are no place for a pup.” “Bring your father up. Let him meet Adare before he leaves.” Willow says through our mind link. “No. Why?” “Don’t you want your father to see his grandchild before he leaves?” “I…” The answer is that

  • Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate   Thank you

    Dear readers, I would like to thank each and every one of you for taking the time to read Willow and Kane's story. This has been one of the longest books I've ever written, and when I started out I did not expect it to turn into this epic saga, but I regret nothing. Nothing I tell you :). I fell in love with Willow and Kane, and I am genuinely sad to say goodbye to these two, but unfortunately all stories must come to an end. Thank you for your support througout this wild ride. It means the world to me. I hope you enjoyed reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Until we meet again. All my love, Celice

  • Alpha of Alphas - The Lycan's Impossible Mate   Epilogue

    Kane Madden, Lycan King of Felan, wakes up to an unearthly racket right outside his bedroom door. Slightly concerned, he glances at his heavily pregnant wife and smiles despite his annoyance at his oldest son’s shenanigans in the hallway. Willow Madden, his mate of fifteen years is heavily pregnant with their second set of twins, two boys this time, and Kane sincerely hopes this is the last time. Goddess knows he loves his children, all eight of them, and he’s sure he’ll love numbers nine and ten just as much, but it’s getting difficult to keep up with all the pups. They are exhausting. For a time, he was sure that they’d never have more children, but after one wild afternoon in the forest, Willow did get pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, as their remarkable son predicted. She named the twins Josiah and Jocelyn, after the previous occupants of their home. Kane thought it was macabre, but Willow insisted, saying they had to honour their ancestors. That would be the same twins wh

    It’s a beautiful summer’s day, and the drive up to the cabin is pleasant enough. Kane and I have found a peaceful kind of comfort in each other’s silence, and we rarely need to fill the quiet with inane background chatter. We are content, just being together. I inhale the lovely fresh air, remembering the first time I came here. The night Suri was born, the sheer exhilaration of feeling my wolf come to life...and that was all thanks to Agatha. Dear, sweet Agatha who never found a final resting place because we went to war and in the chaos, we forgot all about her. Our funeral home has since been bombed off the planet, and we just take care of our dead our own way as we'd done during the war. There aren’t that many of us left anyway. The few surviving wolves live here now, and those that refuse to come to safety are dying off – Templars bearing a lingering grudge either murder them, or the wolves yield to their unrelenting urge to join a good war. Kane once told me that wolves had be

    Kane's POV I wasn’t sure what would happen in the months and years that followed after we signed the peace treaty, so we went with the tried and tested 'go with the flow' method. For a time, everything went back to normal. Drake and Patrick ran the business, and more and more my little brother took over my duties in the company. Proof, Willow liked to remind me, that Omegas are just as competent as any other wolf. The overseas wolves went home, and as soon as they were sure the threat had really passed, the European wolves followed suit. The only ones that stayed were the humans. I claimed the human town as part of my territory during the peace talks, and the residents now affectionately call it Wolftonia. Leif left, taking his strange sister with him. Only later did we learn that Silke’s time on earth was limited and that she had foreseen her own death long before she ever came here. Unbeknownst to all of us, including Willow, a völva’s dying energy projects outwards, and what we m

    Adare runs around the garden with Roland. The two boys growl and stalk each other like prey. My motherly instinct is to jump up and stop them before one of them gets seriously hurt, but Rosie quickly grabs me and pulls me back to my chair. “No Queen,” she says. “That’s how they learn. They won’t hurt each other.” “Are you sure?” “I’ve seen them play this game a hundred times. I’m sure.” Dammit. My throat burns and I have to fight against the tears. I’m so happy that my son is home, but I’ve missed so much. He is the size of an average three-year-old and when I talk to him, I sometimes forget that he’s not even two yet. I choose not the think about it. I choose to focus on the here and now. My family is whole and complete and that's what matters “Mama! Look!” Adare squeals and tackles Roland to the ground. “Good job, buddy,” Kane says behind me. I look over my shoulder at my mate. “You’re back early.” “Yes. Peace talks broke down.” “Why?” “Clement wants my humans.” “I thought

    Kane rolls over to my side and pulls me into his embrace. I don’t even bother to open my eyes. It’s been a wild few days. “Oh Goddess, no,” I complain. “Haven’t you had enough?” He laughs breezily in my ear. “Never…but for now, yes.” He flutters kisses over my jaw and neck. “How do you feel?” “Like I got run over by a penis-shaped bulldozer.” “Hey, you wanted it.” I finally manage to drag my eyelids apart. “I did.” I smile at my impressive mate. “The first two days were great.” “I know.” He rolls away and swings his legs off the bed. “The last day always feels more like a punishment than pleasure.” I turn over onto my side and stare at his broad back, the strong muscles flexing under his skin. “No regrets though, right?” He looks over his shoulder at me. “None.” He gets up and stretches, scratching his ass as he walks to the bathroom. A minute later, I hear him open the tap. We don’t have electricity yet, but I’m not so sure I miss it. Life is kind of peaceful without the cons

    Kane’s POV I sit on the couch in the dark living room, watching the glowing embers in the fireplace, trying to ignore the call of Willow’s heat and the fever that's trying to consume me. I'd go to her, but she's still asleep. t’s not time, she can’t feel it yet, but she will in another few hours. I should be sleeping, prepare myself properly this time, but I can’t switch my milling thoughts tumbling through my head off long enough so I can go to sleep. I’ve already sent orders out to bring the power stations back online and ordered our army to stand its ground. There’s nothing else to do now but wait for Clement to come back so we can finish up the peace agreement. In the absence of entertainment or imminent danger, the only thing I have to keep myself occupied is my own thoughts, and all I can think about is the possibility that Willow will get pregnant. Here, in the quiet of the night, all by myself, I have to admit the truth. I never want her to get pregnant again – not becaus

    Kane’s POV For the next few hours, we talk about the meeting with Clement, the future, and a whole lot of nothing. There’s something comforting in it, just friends having a chat about life, love, and everything in between. I glance at my watch, surprised to see that it was well past midday. “That’s it,” I say and get up, stretching my too-tight muscles. “We’re taking the week off. I don't know about you, but I've had enough of war to last me a lifetime.” “Shall I collect Adare?” Zael asks on our way out. “Not yet. I don’t…Willow thinks he’ll be safe here, but I want to make sure.” “If what she said about The Goddess is true, she’s probably right. She hasn’t been wrong so far, has she?” I scrunch up my face and rub my forehead. “I don’t know. I can’t think straight anymore.” Zael nods. “I know the feeling.” “Did you get any retaliation over the Raymond thing?” “Of course I did.” “And?” “And nothing. I handled it...it won't come back to you.” “Do you think this war is over?”

    Kane's POVIt had been weeks since we slept comfortably, and even though we both sort of hinted at passing the night making love, neither of us could actually gather the energy to do more than snuggle down in each other’s arms.For the first time in weeks, perhaps months, I wake with a smile on my face, completely relaxed and almost happy. The only thing I need to complete my joy is my son, and he'll be here soon enough.I stretch languidly, and slip out from under Willow and go to the bathroom to get ready for my meeting with Clement. I hope against all hope that Willow misunderstood The Goddess and that there would be no human war. I hope, and I pray, that Clement would listen to my advice and stop it before it even starts.The castle is freezing, and I’m shivering so much that I cut myself several times while I shave. Rattling like an excited dog, I run back to the bedroom, pull an extra blanket over Willow, then rush to the closet so I can dress in one of my suits and my long, thi
