Karl looked shocked and mind-linked his friend growling,‘Alexis WTF?’‘I gave a direct order Karl do not challenge me.’His tone was cold and dismissive and Karl backed off instantly making his voice submissive he replied,‘Forgive me Alpha my only concern was for your welfare’‘I am perfectly safe now leave me in peace. All will be explained in good time,’Alexis promptly blocked his Pack and sat beside his Mate, taking her small hand in his he felt the sparks running through him, there was no doubt in his mind who she was to him and he was determined she would understand it too.Aurora opened her eyes slowly, the room was dimly lit but the smell that assaulted her nose was disinfectant, she knew she was in a hospital bed and a frown etched her face.‘How had she got to a hospital?’The last thing she remembered was crossing the boundary line into that damn Alpha’s land after that everything was a blank taking a few minutes to adjust a second scent hit her. It was incredible a lemon
She said calmly and reached for her dress pulling it over her head to cover herself as she went on twisting the knife deeper,‘I am of Royal Blood, a Princess, the Ruler of the Hunters, so go right ahead and blame me for all the terrible things my Ancestors did to yours, hate me if you must, I do not care. I am not and never will be ashamed of who I am.’Lifting her head her eyes turned brilliant gold as her wolf Venus came through for the very first time,‘But know this you arrogant, self-centred Alpha, I am also the daughter of Meredith, Luna of the Mountain Pack, I have Alpha blood running through my veins just as you do and your Mother was the daughter of my grandfather's Alpha’Before he could stop her she was gone, using her magic she just closed her eyes and thought of her room and when she opened them she was back there.Stripping off her dress she stumbled into her shower and turned it on full power sinking to the floor she began sobbing hysterically. Eventually, she pulled h
She whispered and when he left she dragged herself out of bed and showered she could not die, that was far too selfish a thing to do not when her people were relying on her. They needed her even if he did not so she dressed and looked into the mirror she could hardly believe she was the same woman who had gone off so happily to meet her Mate. The green eyes that looked back at her now were dead, so dark they were almost black, her beautiful hair was pulled back in a severe plait and she wore no make-up,‘What was the point?’She asked herself as she pulled on a pair of black trainers to go with the black jeans and T-shirt she was wearing. She looked so pale and sad it tore your heart out but she took a deep breath, she was tough, she had survived her father she could survive this man too.The Council Members were shocked at her appearance but said nothing, something bad had happened but she did not share it instead she went through the business they had for her, signed the papers they
‘One step, go on Aurora, one step and all your pain will end.’Her mind begged her and she could not see for the tears streaming down her face, she so desperately wanted the pain to stop but did she want to kill herself?’The Goddess held her hand to her mouth watching the tormented wild beauty standing on the edge of a precipice,‘We must stop her Creator.’She said turning to him in anguish,‘This is not how I wanted it to end, we brought them together to unite the Packs ready for the upcoming war.’He wrapped her in his arms and pressed a kiss behind her ear,‘I’m sorry Goddess but you insisted we gave them free will, it is her choice to take that step.’Tears streamed down the Goddess's face, Aurora had never looked more beautiful, her hip-length red/gold hair swirled around her lifted by the sea breeze, and she was wearing a fitted skirt that came down to her knees. It hung low clinging tightly to her slender hips, a myriad of blues and greens and flared out in a full circle that
His angry growl as he spun around made her shudder he was out of control and when he lunged for her again now it was her turn to react. Her hands moved and the silver knives shot through the air embedding themselves in his flesh, one hit his shoulder and the other his arm. He roared in pain spinning away from her as he pulled them out blood pouring from the wounds thanks to the Wolfsbane Aurora did not hesitate she raced back to her castle. Alexis collapsed to his knees watching her go his Wolf howling in agony at losing her and the last thing he saw was her guards heading for him as he lost consciousness.When he came to hours later he groaned as he sat up, the wounds stung like crazy and fresh blood oozed from them when he moved he had to get back to his Pack and his Healer. Looking around he saw the large boulder he had stood on when he first scented Aurora and dragged himself to his feet, he had no idea how he got so close to his own boundary but he thanked the Goddess. Pain shot
Karl stared at the jeep in horror, the SUV was idling on the other side of the road all the doors open while he and his men went to see where the other vehicle had landed. It had come out of nowhere and it was not one of the Pack cars,‘ So what the fuck was it doing on their land?’He thought and then he saw a flash of red/gold hair,‘Fuck!’He growled, and using his wolf, he part-shifted and jumped to the bottom of the hill, tipped the jeep back onto its wheels, and Aurora moaned as it bounced, and she was jerked in her seat belt.‘Well, that saves me a journey.’He sneered reaching for the clasp to free her and he found himself flying through the air and landing on his ass knocking the wind out of him with and‘Oof.’‘Don’t you dare fucking touch me?’She snarled at him, getting out of the battered jeep,‘And why don’t you watch where you are going you could have fucking killed me.’She stood with her hands on her, emerald eyes flashing with anger,‘Me?’He pointed at his chest,‘T
Alexis shook his head,‘She is also the Luna of this Pack.’His Beta stood his ground,‘Only if you claim her and mark her in front of us Alpha. You don’t want to do that, not really, why else would you insist she is placed in your dungeons?’The Alpha turned away and pulled on his robe, he needed a drink so he headed down to his office and poured a large scotch for himself and his number two.‘I will do both later today and if that does not change things between us then I will kill her.’Karl took his drink and knocked it back in one gulp,‘You have already made your mind up?’He could not help thinking of the stunningly beautiful young woman he had carried back and his body responded,‘I would not mind taking her off your hands Alpha?’Alexis spun around with a deep possessive growl,‘What did you say?’The Beta stood back holding up his hands in submission,‘Well it seems a shame to kill such a beauty so if you do not want her I would like to step in and force mate her, it would b
He demanded as he saw Karl's look of sheer terror. Giving in to the primal calling of his wolf, he shifted and exploded out of the Pack House, racing toward the dungeon doors. Aurora was in a bad place, everywhere she looked there were bodies and blood, it was a nightmare and she could not seem to escape,‘Why couldn’t she find a way through the chaos?’She thought this because when she tried, she went around in circles, always ending back in the same spot. Confused and anxious, she tried again and again. Something was wrong, very wrong, with this situation. It could not possibly be real, and she growled angrily when she came back to the same spot for the twenty-fifth time.In the dungeon, her unconscious body twisted and turned deep growls coming from her chest as her wolf tried desperately to bring her around from the sedative Karl had given her. When the door burst open and light flooded the dungeon she never reacted and Alexis stared at her stunned,‘What the fuck have you done
