Kane's POV:

Willow leads us down the embankment, towards the enemy. She appears fearless, walking with her back straight and head held high, but I can sense her inner turmoil. She’s scared. More than she was when her father breathed down her neck. “Stop,” she whispers. “Look.”

She waves her hand in the air, opening a little window in the magical shield hiding Vickus’s wolves from us. The air is suddenly thick with the smell of smoke and roasting meat. I can hear the laughter of his wolves, see them bustling around their campfires. All of it neatly contained within the boundaries of the spell.

I stare at the force before us. Wolves as far as the eye can see. There’s no way Richard doesn’t know they’re on his territory, and his pack is huge. If he joined them along the way, Vickus’s ranks swelled by roughly two-thousand.

We can’t possibly fight them. Willow waves her hand again, closing the window. “Wow,” Jackson offers. “Powerful magic.”

“Well, there’s a thousand or so witches. If

    Kane's POV: The night passes slowly and uncomfortably. The bark scratches my skin to pieces, and the knots in the tree dig into my flesh. A few hours ago, the last of my warriors snuck into the witches’ forest, climbing into the trees. We are spread out throughout the forest. They’re not getting in or out of here without a fight. The witches will alert us the moment Vickus arrives, which makes me uncomfortable. I trust Alfred, which is very strange for me, since I don’t usually trust people that lie to me, and I trust Willow, but not the rest. Two trusted witches are enough though. Agatha also returned with her witches. None of them looked too good. A little green around the gills, but they took up their positions as ordered by Lady Blaire. Having the forest witches with us is a good thing – they know these woods better than anyone. Around dawn, a little bird stars singing. A bird that’s not native to our woods. I mind link wi

    I don’t want Kane to see me die, that’s why I sent him away. I wish so much that he could stay so I wouldn’t have to die alone – but it should be over quickly. I already decided that I‘d kill myself before I’ll let them torture me. The chances that I’ll survive the attack are basically zero. Nicholas didn’t want me to do it at all and tried to talk Lady Blaire out of it, but she wouldn’t budge and reminded me that I belong to her now. She pulled me aside after Kane and I came back, Nicholas tagging along when he saw us walking away from the group. “When the werewolves enter the forest, their witches will stay behind,” Blaire said. “I don’t think so,” Nicholas offered. “Vickus will want them close to protect him.” “No. They’re refusing. They know the wolves are here, and they’re scared.” “Do they know we’re here?” I asked. “Oddly enough, no. They think the magic they’re picking up on comes from the forest witches.” Lady Blaire laughed humourlessly. “Like these…peasants have anythi

    I wish I can establish a telepathic link with my brother, but I can’t while I’m in wolf form. Something is really off with these witches. They’re oblivious to our presence, and even if they can’t see us, they should be able to sense us. I can feel their magic. It bristles in the air like an approaching thunderstorm. It’s something dark and terrifying. “Can you feel that?” Nicholas asks. “What is it?” How the hell does he expect me to answer him? I just nod and look at the other witches. Waiting for them to say something. Waiting for someone to give me permission to start killing. It’s much more difficult than I anticipated. I thought killing the Moon Flower witches would be easy. That I wanted to do it. Wanted to get the witch that ripped my aunt from my life, but now I’m just standing here, looking at them. I can’t bring myself to do it. “Willow,” Nicholas says. “Are we doing this?” “What spell are they casting?” one of the witches as

    Kane's POV I don’t have much time to take in Willow’s carnage. She decimated at least five of her over sixty kills. Tearing the hapless witches limb from limb, leaving nothing but little bits of macerated flesh and bone behind. A few have their hearts missing -- an irresistible treat for every werewolf, especially a brand-new one that’s taken by bloodlust. The best I could do for Willow was to put her to sleep using our mate bond. Something Glenn told me he did for Charmaine from time to time when she couldn’t cope in the beginning. Hopefully, Willow would sleep for a few days. It can take a while to come down from the high, and the cravings for more blood can last several weeks. I watch as Alfred wraps Willow in a blanket and loads her onto the truck. I have to stand back and let her brother take care of her because if I do it I won’t be able to leave her and I have to go back to my warriors. Alfred comes sauntering back to my side. “The others will take care of her. I’d rather st

    Kane's POV: I stand in the clearing outside the forest, trying my best not to inhale the stench of death. I’m surrounded by Willow’s kills. I still can’t believe one wolf could cause so much carnage. I doubt I’d even be able to kill sixty before a spell took me out…but she was shielded by Alfred and his coven’s magic so that undoubtedly saved her. Jackson comes sauntering out of the forest, carrying a pair of shorts with him. “Here you go, King.” Grateful, I take the clothes and cover myself. Nudity is common during a battle because we switch between wolf and human all the time, but now that I’m standing here doing nothing I feel a little exposed. “Thank you.” Jackson whistles softly as his eyes travel over the scattered remains of the Moon Flower witches. “Willow did all this by herself?” “Yes.” “I didn’t think she had it in her.” “Neither did I to be honest. Do you think Vickus will come?” “I hope so,

    Kane’s POV: There is a lull after a battle. Everything goes quiet. It’s when this quiet descends that you are forced to face yourself and what you had to do to keep yourself and your people alive. You have to deal with conflicting emotions – elation because you won, coupled with intense sorrow over the ones you’ve lost, the many losses that are to come, and guilt because you survived. We lost our fair share of warriors. Some I trained with as pup, others were nameless, faceless wolves I’ve never met before, but loved regardless because they were mine. Most werewolves retreat for a while, spending time with their wolves and mates, finding solace in each other’s arms. If their mates died during the battle, they usually follow soon afterward, and the Omegas often find their lifeless bodies in their beds. They just lie down and never wake up again. I don’t have much time to lick my wounds. I hide my own sorrow because I have to. Someone needs to go on, needs to be strong for the rest.

    For the first time in many years, I don’t dream. I don’t know if it’s just because of the thing Kane did to me, or because I could take some of my rage out on the witches, but I have never slept this well. Yawning, I sit upright and switch on the light. There are no windows in this room, and I have no idea if it’s day or night. It reminds me of the dungeon and makes me uneasy. Kane was here. I can smell him everywhere, but most strongly on my pillow. He must have been uncomfortable, curled up on this tiny bed with me. I stick my face into the pillow and inhale deeply, losing myself in his scent. It calms me down, takes away my disquiet. Gods, I miss him. My door eases open, and I automatically tense, even though I know who’s on the other side. I can smell him. My senses are definitely improving. “You’re awake,” Nicholas says and gives me a shy smile that seems out of place. “How long have I been asleep?” “Not that long. Maybe twelve hours.”

    Kane comes walking up behind me. I catch his eye in the mirror and smile at him. The attraction between us is just getting stronger. Aren’t these feelings supposed to become less intense as time goes on? I don’t know a lot about relationships, but surely you can’t go through life craving another person this much. It’s not healthy, is it? “What?” he asks, and rests his hands on my hips, holding my gaze in the mirror. “I’m just looking at my dress,” I lie and cock my head to the side. “Is something wrong with it?” “I look like a little girl.” “You don’t. You look fresh and beautiful.” “Oh, pfft. You will say that.” “Uh-huh--” he grips my upper arms and leans over to plant a kiss on the side of my face -- “and I mean every word. You really are very beautiful, you know?” The muscles at the bottom of my spine contract, sending cascades of delicious desire through the rest of my body. “Is it supposed to be like this?” I ask,

  • 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
