He commanded again flooding the room with his Alpha pheromones focusing solely on his mate he used their bond shamelessly,‘Come here.’He ordered her,‘This ends now.’She fought him, shaking her head and snarling at him but he increased his Alpha power and her feet moved without her being aware of it, releasing Karl. He scrabbled away allowing the two Gammas to help him from the room but they stopped and looked back to see Venus fluffing out her coat making herself look bigger an angry growl came from her chest,‘Fuck, fuck, this is so bad.’Luke was completely panicked, never had he seen a Luna challenge an Alpha the way Aurora was now challenging Alexis,‘Back off and lie down.’Alexis ordered her keeping his voice low and commanding but she was in no mood to obey him,‘I don’t have to answer to you.’She snarled back at him,‘Submit to me or I will have you caged as a Rogue and punish you every day until you break and learn to behave.’He stalked toward her on stiff legs and he t
Aurora felt white hot rage roaring through her veins at this injustice and her eyes glowed brilliant gold and then turned to onyx,‘I would rather die.’She hissed and Alexis felt his heartbreak, he had hoped and prayed to the Moon Goddess for hours that she would understand why he had to do this he had to put his Pack first and she was a danger to them. It never occurred to him to just let her go, she was his mate and therefore she was his responsibility.‘Don’t say that Aurora, please, I am just trying to protect you from yourself, you have made some very poor decisions and that is my fault I have not spent enough time teaching you the ways of the Pack. No more, from now on I will keep you with me and teach you everything you need to know. I will make this right my little wolf, I promise, I love you so much this time I will get it right.’Her response was to turn her back and curl into the blankets at the back of the cage and there she stayed. The food he left went untouched, when h
Alexis woke up feeling much stronger, he got off the bed, showered and dressed and ate a huge meal his body beginning the process of healing. It was not the same for Aurora, she remained deeply unconscious and Alexis took away her right to starve herself to death, he ordered the medics to place a feeding tube and begin to build her up again.Life in the Pack was subdued and quiet, the members went about their daily lives but all the joy seemed to have been sucked from them since the fight and Alexis’ decision to cage his Luna. While she remained unresponsive the Pack could not move on, so he called Morgana back and she looked almost as bad as his mate, pale and exhausted.‘Are you okay Morgana? I am so sorry to drag you back here again.’She hugged him and smiled,‘I am just exhausted Alpha, all I need to do is rest and I will do that when our Luna wakes up. I take it that is why you called me back?’He nodded and led her up to his room where Aurora lay like Sleeping Beauty attached t
He did not encourage the liaisons but he did not stop them either, he knew some of the prettier human slaves were kept as bed warmers and for their part his men treated them well. One of the worst culprits was his Beta Karl, the man was insatiable even though he was mated with pups he kept at least two human females for his entertainment. He went through them very quickly though, much faster than any of the other males and Alexis knew why. Karl had invited him back to his ’den’ as he called it to relax and wind down after a busy day and at first, he thought it would be just them drinking whisky and talking. After they had downed the first bottle and both men were feeling the effects of the strong alcohol Karl had brought the two women into the room and ordered them to ‘perform’ for his entertainment. They had started dancing together but it soon became obvious they knew exactly what his Beta wanted as they began to touch each other intimately. Karl had soon become aroused and joined t
They were fully mated the next day in a ceremony in front of the Pack followed by an impromptu party the females in the Pack had put together at short notice. Within weeks Janie had become indispensable, she stepped into Aurora’s shoes as if she had been born to be a Luna, she was quiet, gentle and kind. The elderly members of the Pack warmed to her quickly when she arranged for the Pack House to be opened up during the day as a social hub for them. There were newspapers, books, board games, and activities for the more agile such as table tennis and bowls indoors and outdoors, she made sure there was an endless stream of coffee and tea and provided a lunch. Then she organised a similar idea for mothers with young children, and it soon became a mix of young and old enjoying each other's company. The older Pack members loved seeing the children and the mothers found they could talk about the worries they might have with women who had been through everything they were going through. It w
Her Mothers voice was soft and full of love,‘Where are you, Mama?’She called out to her desperate for her reassurance,‘I am in your heart my child, I never left you, I have always been here, it is our way to pass our knowledge down through each generation.’Then she felt the love, deep and abiding reaching back from her first Ancestor, a woman not unlike her, with wild pale blonde hair and emerald green eyes. She saw her standing beside the great Warlock Merlin, father of magic and both turned to look at her and smiled,‘Welcome Daughter of Merlin.’She heard as the vision faded and she was filled with the magic of the Ancients, her body healed as her mind was opened to her true powers. Morgana saw her eyes open and glow with her strength,‘Welcome back Luna.’She said smiling as Aurora turned to her,‘Thank you, Morgana.’She said and her voice had a soft Cornish lilt to it, which was strange as she had never been to the birthplace of her Ancestors, Tintagel, in Cornwall England.
Rage engulfed Aurora, this bitch had her mate and had been making free with hers and she was not proud of her reaction.‘Who the fuck do you think you are?’She raised her hands and the woman fell across the room hitting the wall with a loud crack she crumpled to the floor, gasps echoed around the Ballroom and Luke raced over to her.‘I am so sick of this, sick of all of you patronising me.’She roared her eyes locked on Alexis,‘You forced me into this, you took me from my Pack, you mated me, none of you ever bothered to ask what I wanted.’Luke growled and suddenly shifted his anger at seeing his mate hurt making him irrational and a large dark grey wolf leapt towards Aurora,‘Stop.’She did not even look at him just lifted her hand and he was frozen mid-leap,‘You have all you need Alexis so I’m setting you free. You don’t want me, I’m not a Luna, I’m nothing. Enjoy your playthings and your pathetic stand-in,
She arrived at the edge of the human city just as the sun was going down, she stayed hidden in the trees watching the humans settle down for the night. Gradually, as the lights in their homes went out one by one she paced the perimeter of the outlying buildings, this was where their poorest lived, already the stench of rubbish repulsed her. It was also where the fiercest of their pet dogs lived, as she wandered through the debris, a silent shadow, they raced to the perimeter of their land barking wildly at her. She was not in the least bit intimidated, these silly domesticated creatures were no match for her and it was easy for her to silence them. Two huge mastiffs came racing to their boundary fence, all muscle and hate having been ill-treated by their humans to make them vicious, slobbering and growing with rage. Her pale golden wolf stood watching them her beautiful eyes glowing in the falling darkness, they skidded to a stop as she approached the fence,‘You know who I am.’She m
The Knight scowled and drew a small razorsharp knife from his boot,‘Very well Warlock I see it has come to this. You will never let me claim what is rightfully mine, I get that.‘He raised the knife and the darkness around them intensified,‘That would be a very foolish thng to do Mordred.’He looked up as Morgana approached him,‘You have no say in this you traitrous bitch. We had everything and you threw it away. Together we could have reigned Camelot, we could have ..’His voice trailed off in anguish,‘No brother, we had nothing, and you now it but won’t accept it. We could never beat Arthur, he was/is Englands greatest King. He is at peace now sleeping but when he is needed he will return and save this green and pleasant land heloved so much. Killing the Hybrid will not change that, mating her will bring you nothing, she is not yours to mate with.’Morgana stopped in front of him and lifted her hand taking the silver knife and placing it beside Aurora then she took Mordreds hand
He indicated his men who now stood around the room guns drawn pointing toward the witches in the circle.‘I don’t care how many of them I have to kill but you will tell me.’Two shots rang out in the quiet Ballroom and two witches collapsed to the floor blood streaming from their chests. Aurora slowly pushed herself to her feet, she was not quite fully aware of what had happened to her but instinct told her she had to stop Mordred and his men.‘He is unhurt.’She said meeting the eyes of Mordreds Military Leader,‘He is back at your base but you tell him if he comes for me again I will not spare his life.’‘You do not have that choice little Hybrid, I have claimed you and that fucking puppy cannot protect you from my magic.’She let out a gasp of pain as cuffs appeared on her wrists and ankles and she found herself in a dungeon chained to a damp wall, unable to access her magic. Mordred appeared with his men,‘Don’t bother trying little Hybrid those cuffs are spelled to block your mag
The Priestess linked the other witches of the Coven and they formed a circle around Aurora holding hands and joining their powers,‘No one will hurt your wolf little Hybrid all I ask is for you to send her to sleep until this ceremony is over. She has no part to play in it and it would be in her interests to step aside voluntarily.’She told her and strangely enough, Aurora agreed gently urging Venus to her corner to sleep, and the wolf could not resist her human power curling up and drifting into sleep without a murmur.The instant Venus disconnected from her as she went into a deep REM sleep the pain hit and Aurora’s body arched up as if shocked by electricity a scream torn from her lips. The Ballroom went dark, all the candles were snuffed out and the people shuffled and whispered nervously‘Do not move any of you and please maintain your silence. What is about to happen to our little Hybrid will be painful but not life-threatening to her. It is not a pleasant sight to witness but
This was her destiny, what her mother wanted for her, these women were her family, descending from the Great Warlock just as she had. Lifting her chin she began to walk down the stairs, instantly all eyes turned to look at her and she heard the gasps of wonder, she looked radiant, ethereal and more beautiful than ever. The Priestess came forward and took her hand,‘Come Hybrid, it is almost time.’She allowed her to lead her to the Sacred Cross. It was worn smooth, and the pale golden wood seemed to glow warm in the candlelight as they stopped in front of it.‘My fellow Witches, it is nearly time for the blooding, the Moon is about to reach its zenith and our Hybrid is returned to us.’Aurora focused on the cross not wanting to see the people watching or she knew she would panic and run back to her room. She hated being the centre of attention but this could not be avoided. She was jerked back into the present when the Priestess placed her hand on her arm,‘Are you ready Hybrid?’She
He growled his head turning from side to side in agitation,‘Alpha, she is with her sisters. Tonight is the equinox of the Blood Moon, when it reaches its zenith at midnight Aurora will be blooded into the Coven and come into her full powers.’Alexis spun around not liking the sound of a ‘blooding’‘Sisters? What are you talking about? Aurora does not have any Siblings she is an only child.’Gideon looked puzzled and Luke frowned,‘She has never mentioned any Siblings to us Morgana.’The Witch smiled and shook her head,‘No, you misunderstand me, Gentlemen. The sisters I am referring to are the Coven members, they are her relatives however distant the blood link is all the Daughters of Merlin are related through their blood.’Alexis growled again this time it was deeper and more commanding imposing his Alpha powers on them,‘Will you focus on the reason we are here, we are close she is here somewhere and I need to find her urgently. If she is blooded tonight then I must mate with her
Morgana glared at him,‘Do not mock what you do not understand Alpha. Aurora truly is a Daughter of Merlin, a rare and special witch with powers beyond anything I can only dream of. When she finally joins with her Coven they will remove all the blocks her mother put in place and she will fly solo for the first time, her powers will be absolute. You will have forty-eight hours to mate her and claim her for yourself after that your mark will heal and she will be at the mercy of every Male with a pulse.’Alexis had not been aware of this,‘What do you mean my mark will heal? She is my mate and I have already claimed her as mine.’‘You did not complete the mating Alpha. Without that final act, you are not fully mated and the magic will find that out she will have no say in it, the mark will heal overnight and I would guess she will be thrown straight into a Haze. She needs to be mated with a pup in her belly so her wolf and her magic can unite within her and release her full potential.’Mo
His voice was bleak as he strode out to the waiting SUV, four of his Warriors were tracking her through the woods and the rest of them were going by car they hoped to pick her up quickly she was bound to be lost she did not know the area.He underestimated Aurora’s ability to navigate through situations such as these, she had learned very early in her life that she could rely on no one but herself. There was no knight in shining armour coming to rescue her she had to learn to fend for herself and she had suffered many brutal beatings from her father along the way. He had wanted her meek and docile dependent on him, his pretty obedient daughter, if she stepped out of line for even the slightest misdemeanour he whipped her. He aimed to break her so badly it would kill her wolf but she had grown too powerful and he had never known about the magic her mother had blessed her with on her death. She found her way to the outskirts of London and snagged some clothes from a washing line and
She pushed back and Logan gave a deep growl, he had never been challenged in this way before, as Alpha his Pack obeyed him without question,‘How was this little female wolf holding him off.’He frowned,‘You have magic.’It was a statement, not a question and he reined in his Alpha power and smiled at her,‘You are not the only one.’ He whispered and nodded toward an elderly female shifter who had come into the lounge, Aurora let out a howl of pain as invisible hands picked her up and flung her across the room. She hit the wall so hard three of her ribs cracked and pain shot through her every time she took a breath, spinning around she faced the woman and lifted her head her eyes glowing molten gold. Logan watched his witch’s expression change, she had been confident when she spoke to him through their Pack link, but now a look of sheer terror crossed her face
He groaned fighting with himself, he had meant to tease her a little and then leave her to shower wanting more, they did not know each other and he had planned to take his time getting to know her before getting her into his bed. She nipped his lip then when he lifted his head to look into her eyes and followed that by nipping his neck as she was level with his chest he groaned when she bent her head and sucked his nipple making him lose his battle to take it slowly. Breaking the kiss he spun her around placing his large hand over both her small ones pinning her to the glass.‘Mine.’He grunted bending her forward and pressing his engorged cock between her ass cheeks pushing at her entrance, she was making soft little panting noises of pleasure and arched her back offering herself to him. Logan was beyond speech as his wolf roared forward at the scent of her arousal it was so powerful he lost all sense of reason and grabbed her roughly with one hand on her hip and the other tangling i
