He held her to him,‘I am so sorry, little one. I hope one day we can overcome this, but I don’t have the time to be gentle. We have to leave the Packlands in two days. I don’t have a choice, but I promise you that when this is done and we are settled in our new home, I will spend the rest of our lives making this up to you.’He mind-linked Karl,‘Is everything ready?’His Beta responded,‘Yes, Alpha everything is as you requested.’He reached over to the bedside table and tugged open the draw pulling out the prepared syringe he had left there, gently brushing the hair from her face he kissed Aurora tenderly and she stirred then settled against his chest. He hated having to do this to her just as he was finally breaking down the barriers she had built around her heart but time was running out and she had left him with no choice.‘I love you little wolf, forgive me.’He whispered into her ear and plunged the needle into her hip injecting the sedative deep into her muscle, her eyes flas
His huge heart shattered into a million pieces as his jet lifted into the clear blue Russian skies and pointed its nose across the vast oceans towards the West. He did not know if his kind would ever run free through the stunning snow-covered valleys of his Packlands again but he knew when his time came this would be where his spirit would roam again.The jet evened out and he stood up to stretch his legs and check on Aurora, she was hooked up to an IV and there was a feeding tube threaded down her nose and into her stomach keeping her alive. She was so pale her lips were almost blue, her thick red/gold mane of hair was braided over one shoulder,‘My Sleeping Beauty.’He whispered placing a soft kiss on colourless lips,‘I am so sorry I had to do this to you but I could not risk you running again.’Curling a red/gold curl around his finger he pulled it straight and then watched it bounce back into a curl when he released it,‘Goddess you are so beautiful.’He said his heart heavy as h
Bradley caught Morgana’s hand and kissed her open palm,‘I am so charmed to meet you, my dear.’He flirted with the good-looking witch, she may have had four pups and worked long unsociable hours several days a week but her figure was still as trim as a teenager and her long blue/black hair tumbled down past her shoulders.‘Ah yes, your Luna, How is the poor girl? She must be exhausted after such a long journey.’It took all his remaining control not to growl and snarl at his Uncle‘s flippancy, he knew the man must be curious, if it wasn’t enough that a whole new Pack had descended on them they had turned up with their Luna unconscious. He kept his voice as neutral as he could,‘She is well enough Uncle and I have no doubt you will meet her in the next few days when her strength has returned.’Turning to Morgana he hugged her tightly and said,‘I hope you find peace and love in your new home, my dear friend, I will call around once you are settled.’She hugged him back and whispered,
Glancing back at the sleeping Alpha she frowned as a brief memory flashed before her eyes, she was feeling sleepy and sated resting in his arms then her hand went to her hip. Checking both sides she found a tiny almost disappeared pinprick, it would not have been seen on a human but she was a witch and her magic showed her what her eyes wanted to see without her knowing.‘She had been drugged.’The shock of her realisation made her feel sick to her stomach and quickly turned to angry, burning furious anger,‘How fucking dare he.’A low growl rumbled through her body, she was going to kill him she thought then a slow malicious smile spread across her face, keeping a watch on him she found her clothes and pulled on jeans, a t-shirt and her Converse Pumps. She brushed out her thick red/gold hair and then braided it quickly so it was out of the way grabbed a jacket off the back of a door and crept down the stairs of the Pack House. When she heard voices she pressed against the wall, it wa
Venus was surprised when the doe moved toward her and then veered off to the left putting her head down and eating some of the grass, it was a clear invitation to the males that she was unconcerned and they could come after her. The doe moved away enticing the male predators with her nonchalance not realising that the threat to her baby was inching closer Venus took her opportunity as soon as it presented itself. Two leaps and she had the fawn between her powerful jaws bringing them together with a satisfying crunch, she did not wait around for the mothers reaction keeping a tight hold on it she spun away into the forest. At the same time the Rogues took off after her and at last she understood her predicament as she saw the four huge males chasing her. Venus let her instincts take over she knew she was in trouble if they caught her, dropping the fawn she raced off dodging through tr
‘Don’t come any closer.’She snarled baring her teeth showing her long, wicked, razor, sharp canines,‘I will rip your throat out now back off.’He stood in front of her and chuckled,‘Look at yourself, you can barely stand now be a good little girl and shift or I will have to punish you much more severely than I intended to.’He leered at her and she saw his men stepping out of the trees,‘Hurry Alexis, please.’She mind-linked him desperately never taking her eyes off the four huge males, her body released more adrenaline endorphins into her blood stream and a little of her strength returned, she straightened and lifted her head her green eyes glowing gold.‘I told you to back off Rogue.’She growled as he stepped into her personal space and he chuckled darkly,‘And I told you to shift little wolf but you clearly need to learn to obey your Alpha and I am very good at disciplining disobedient females.’His men smirked as they came closer, this was going to be fun their Leader liked t
Occasionally Aurora twitched or her muscles contracted and then relaxed but she remained unconscious throughout the whole procedure. Stepping back Morgana looked up at Alexis who was equally as pale and his eyes were full of anxiety for his young mate.‘She is exhausted, there are no other injuries, she needs to rest as much as possible, get some red meat inside her and more importantly you need to sit her down and explain everything to her. She needs to know who and what she is, what she means to this Pack and what will happen if she rejects you completely.’ He turned away and she placed her hand on his powerful biceps,‘Alexis stop running away from your responsibility and face her, all the misgivings you have are on you, she has done nothing wrong, stop blaming her for her fathers sins. It is unfair and unjust of you and that is not who you are. The Luna cannot be blamed for being his daughter, she never asked to b
It was a peaceful solution, one that would save face for both of them but Bradley was in no mood to be reasonable and with a snarl he shifted into his wolf, a large dull grey animal that snapped at him angrily,‘I do not want to fight you Uncle.’He turned his eyes to his Uncle’s men,‘Do not interfere and I will let you all live.’Turning to the grey wolf he gave a low growl,‘Outside now.’Striding outside into the arena he turned to the grey wolf mind-linking him,‘Please back off Uncle, I really don’t want to do this to you.’The grey wolf gave a low growl as an answer and Alexis was left with no choice but to shift into Jupiter and his huge white wolf towered over the older Alpha. Everyone stepped back as the two Alphas circled each other the difference in their sizes very evident, Jupiter bared his razor sharp fangs as a warning he was very reluctant to attack his Uncle.‘Walk away.’He commanded but the other Alpha growled again and leapt at him but he dodged easily letting the
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
