That morning, before heading out, both Asher and Dante came into the kitchen. With wide smiles, they kissed me, Andrea and Alec goodbye. Smiling, I headed to the living room so I could have breakfast there. Toasting and buttering a few slices of bread, Andrea took her time, asking me to please come get Alec.Grateful for the opportunity to be around him for a while longer than I had thought, I nodded and then realized she couldn't see me, coming to pick Alec from the kitchen counter where he was perched.“Hi Alec!” I cooed, smiling at him. Clapping his hands together, he squealed, and I pulled the precious boy towards me.“Would you like to eat some eggs? They're really good!”Nodding his head, he attempted to wriggle out of my arms and onto the floor, so I set him down, watching as he jumped out of my arms and onto the floor.Crawling towards the plate, he picked up a morsel of egg and put it into his mouth, chewing noisily on it. He made a curious face first and then ended up with a
Gushing, I pulled him closer to me and attempted to teach him more words.He seemed to have had ebought of that and instead squirmed out of my arms, so I left him alone to play, knowing that that maids would be watching him like a hawk to make sure that he was okay. Pulling Andrea out in the hallway, we walked to her room, Andrea squirming under the strength of her grip.“Olivia, what is wrong with you?” she yelled as soon as the door was shut. Pacing on the floor, I tried to recound the things that Dante had said in the kitchen earlier.I sat down on the bed, and concerned, she took a seat right beside me. “Come on, you can tell me. What's going on?”“I think they know. And if they don't know, then they suspect.” I said, squeezing my fingers into a ball. “Know what? Suspect what?” spluttered Andrea, rubbing her arms against her forearms where I had grabbed her. Apologizing, I got up.“I am so sorry about your arm. I kind of panicked and I went all crazy. I didn't mean to hurt you-
It was almost a direct replica of my room, but the detailing was so perfect, I almost couldn't look away.The bed was big and could contain at least 4 people at once, and it had a dresser that I loved. Walking over to it, I ran my hands across the smooth wood.Catching my reflection in the mirror, I could see that it was also shocked by the amount of luxury that we were casually viewing. “This is such a beautiful room," I gushed, turning over to them with a smile. The three of us were the only ones in the room, and the door had been shit behind them - one of the maids had carried Alec out to put him down for a nap. It felt good to be casually surrounded by all of the luxury, and I continued to explore. Saying nothing, both of them exchanged glances and left me to explore. Encouraging me, Dante said, “go on, check it out. We'll wait.” With that assurance, I let go of my inhibitions and looked around the room like it belonged to me, and I loved what I saw. It looked like a huge space
Later that night, all three of us sat around the dining table with our meals placed in front of us. The mood was celebratory and everyone from the chef to the servants seemed to have gotten the memo. I had left Andrea with Alec a few hours ago to have my bath and get dressed up, and when she wanted to do the same and get ready, she dropped him off with me too. I had played with him on the bed while Asher and Dante got dressed and ready for dinner that night. The aroma of something amazing had been eating up the stairs for hours, and now it was time to finally partake of the good food we had been smelling for some time. Alec's skin had a rash and I stayed behind to powder his rashy arm before heading over to the dining area. He would be in my laps throughout the dinner, and I would only feed him the food I knew was safe for him, but the little nuisance seemed to have gotten the drift that powder stained and was making it his personal job to stain me with it consistently, powdering me
I stood there, my heart heavy with a mix of emotions. Should I be happy or sad that they are under the attack or I should feel sad for my once called home? “What do you intend doing?” I was asked by Dante. “I thought you would want to help them” he said looking at me. I raised a eyebrow as soon as I heard that.I looked into his eyes and I could see he was reluctant even though he had said those words. His words made me feel some sense of responsibility for my old home even though we grew apart. “I cannot do it,” I said, feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders. Andrea held one of our twins, Ishmael, while I cradled Alecxander in my hands. These twins were the result of my years with the White Water Pack and Liam Fenir, my so-called mate who had turned his back on me when I needed him the most. And now they had the audacity to come seeking my help, along with Diane, hoping for aid from me and my mates. That would never be possible. “You don’t desire to help them?” one of th
Bella Conned PovBeing a maid is what I will call my purpose, Bella thought, as she began to arrange the twins courtyard, “Olivia would never let me fix her room. “, I say to myself, as my mission begins. This mission is not one of protecting members of the pack or defending the great familia, it is something greater than that, I say to myself, “I must overcome.”. Soliloquy has really been my forte, ever since I, a beta had been appointed maid for the strange woman that had been brought home a little, not more than fifteen years ago. I began to see this young lady as a test which I must prepare for and overcome, study her and learn her secrets. Watching her grow, I could not really fathom it, “Mother of twins, Killer of rogues. “, becoming attached to the twins, I began to look up to this fully grown woman now, “A real warrior. “. But then I realize, Olivia has a secret- something making her simple heart heavy and alas, on the night of the awakening ponders to my reach. I re
The werewolf myths were really good as bed time stories, a little dive into the origin of their history and cultures was not a bad idea but there were not needed at this time or so he thought, “You have anything to say Liam?”Liam Fenir brought out a keen smile as he rose to his feet“Wolves of the Northern coast, I strongly believe that it will be in our best interests, if we focus on other things than listening to cavemen stories that could be found in books. “It didn’t take long, for the laughter bubbling among the pack and it was a massacre, as 18 year old Liam Fenir stole the spotlight.“You are quite full of yourself, young man. “, Miss vorgan said, “Why is that so? “Liam threw a smirk, sending even the female werewolves blushing, “Don’t be too boastful William Fenir”, William, his full name. “And who says I am at all, Miss Diana?”“Your elegance beats me prince charming. “, she winked “There you are… “, Liam said as Olivia Emma, his mate sat behind the tree observing
"Mother, leave this to me, I shall end this swiftly." Isak said, his ocean like eyes turning red, with his claws ready to slash Liam . A hand swifter and sharper than his was all it took to hold Isak Emma back, as Dante holding Isak Emma's two claws eye ball to eye ball, "You can fight this Alpha.", he grinned widely, "I'm back father.", his red eyes turning ocean black, he threw a smirk as he joined his brother Alec as they payed homage to their mother and fathers. "This intruder looks somewhat familiar Olivia. ", eyes darted towards Liam who was already beat up, Olivia's eyes dampened a bit, "I have a confession to make mates", Alec raising an eyebrow , though when was mother going to tell the truth, here and now, or did she have any more secrets? Who was this man, who looked so much like Isak. He had questions alright, lots of them, but this questions needed answers and he needed them quick. "What do you have for me Olivia.", Dante asked, his face intense, his look unwilderi

But the man, a black ring on his finger, was not dead at all. Only the demon inside him. And when soldiers of countless coasts began to cheer, when word spread that a prince, no he wasn’t a Prince anymore, the King who was promised, had defeated Kera, Blanco simply turned from the battlements.He found him by scent alone. Even in death, the scent lingered, a path that he followed through the wrecked streets and throngs of celebrating, weeping people.Rowan Mikhail smiled at his bleeding heart, and he had seen him first as Blanco ran to his friend’s side,“Don’t die on me!”, h
The final showdown part 3 Blanco’s breath was a steady rasp in his throat as he charged through the lines of demon soldiers, screaming ringing out around him, Rowan swinging beside him. Nearby, cutting a swath through masses, Dante and the king of the south fought. Soldiers swarmed, but he hadn’t seen the Queen. Then it happened, the demon soldier had gotten the better of him, he had been too late to react, and the demon reached for its sword, fatigue had set in, the demon’s head falling to the ground, as Aelin Bellamere, stood before him,“Too sloppy, human.”, her eyes unto him,“What changed your mind.”, he said, “A certain Queen did.”, her eyes backwards, to Queen Olivia EmmaThe Queen’s cavalry shoved the demons back, and above them, wolves and wyverns clashed.Beasts, feathered and scaled, crashed to the earth.Still Elon fought above the queen, guarding her from the demons who spotted that white banner as good as a banner amid the sea of
The final showdown 2The Wolf kings walked beside her, and the thousands of soldiers that they had been able to gather in such a small period was impressive indeed. But they won’t be enough. She had heard of the thousands of soldiers standing guard at Purisca, ready to be unleashed at the final words of Kera Asgorn, and demon soldiers and creatures might actually get onto their world, but for some reason she was not afraid.Neither were any of them afraid, Dante, nor Asher, defying the odds like they always did, one last battle, one last rite to fulfill, and maybe, just maybe they might get to see him again.And the army matched forward, day and night.Benny Blanco and Rowan Mikhail led the group of warriors, as they sojourned on their journey to Asgorn, the Northern coast, the place where the ripple of power had come from, he had hoped the Queen had listened to his message, and no walloped in her grief, of a missing son.Whilst they passed through these fore
Final showdown 1Isak swallowed once. Twice. The portrait of uncertain fear as he lay chained on the metal table, terrified, Hades waiting for his answer.And then he said, his voice clear as day “When you finish breaking me apart for the day, how does it feel to know that you are still nothing?”She grinned. “Some fire left in you, it seems. Good.”He smiled back through the mask. “You were only given the oath for this. For me.Without me, you’re nothing. You’ll go back to being nothing. Less than nothing, from whatI’ve heard.” Hades fingers tightened around the flint.“Keep talking, Prince, you'll crawl after me soon”A rasping laugh broke from him. “The guards talk when you’re gone, you know. They forget I’m Wolf, too. Can hear like you.” Hades aid nothing.“At least they agree with me on one front. You’re spineless. Have to tie up people to hurt them because it makes you feel like a woman, you're
Kera Asgorn stood at the Island, alone this time, no guard with him, just him and two magic stones, clutched to his pockets, it had been a lie, obviously, that was expected, he didn’t feel Isak Emma’s companions would he do willing to hand over the possession of the keys, he had followed their plans, like a hunter in search of a prey, but he also knew, they were not foolish enough, to drop the stones but they were desperate enough to drop something, to drop someone, dark magic, flickering at his fingers, as he set his eyes on his son Dale Asgorn. Dale clinched his sword tightly to his fist, he wouldn’t let go.“And what do you suppose to do with that son, slash me into pieces.”,“Don’t be stupid boy.”, he added, “Tell me where the stones are, and I might just let you go, you spineless boy.”. Kera hissed.“Get past me first father.”, he yelled, and went into the darkness.“Enjoy your rest?”Isak said nothing.Hades ran a hand down the metal table’s edge. “I’ve been debating wh
You’ve been here too long.She had felt the ripple of power when it had happened. Somewhere far away in the dark oak forests there she was, and then it had happened. The brutal awakening, her son was alive, Isak the chosen one , the King who was promised, had lived, and she was here, doing what exactly, sobbing and shying away from the kingdom, he had done this for. The west coast. The same kingdom that Isak had sacrificed himself to protect, she sobbed, she was not fit to be Queen, but all that didn’t matter to Olivia Emma, she wanted to see Jim, once again, this time, she moved faster than her legs could carry her, as she got to the courtroom, Elena, Dante, Asher and the witch boy, Bahask, stood, pausing as their eyes met,“Your majesty, you look quite different.”, Elena observed.The Queen looked quite different from before, the Werewolf Princess observed or had she felt that ripple too, it couldn’t be.“Ready the horses.”, An order,“We move north.”, Olivia Emma said.Dante rus
Kera’s smile turned sad. “Do you think she did, Isak”He considered. So many of their chats, their lessons in this glen, held deeper puzzles, questions for him work through, to help him when he one day took her throne, Adolpha at her side.As if he’d summoned her, the pine-and-snow scent of his mate filled the clearing. A rustle of wings, and there she was, perched in owl form on one of the towering oaks. His Witch.He smiled toward her, as he had for weeks now, when he’d come to escort her back to her rooms in the river palace. It was during those walks from forest to mist-shrouded city that she had come to know him, love him. More than she had ever loved anything.He again faced Kera. “The queen was clever, and ambitious. I would think she could do anything, even find the stones“So you would believe. And yet they eluded her.” “Where did they go?”Kera’s ark stare unwaveringly held his“Where
And when he awoke chained on the altar, he beheld what she had done to the iron coffin.The top of the lid had been warped. A great hump now protruded, the metal stretched thin.As if it had come so very close to breaking entirely.On a dark hilltop overlooking a sleeping kingdom, she froze.The others were already halfway down the hill, leading the horses along the dried slope that would take them over Akkadia’s border and onto the arid plains below.Her hand dropped from the stallion’s reins.She had to have imagined it.She scanned the starry sky, the slumbering lands beyond, the Lord of the North above.It hit her a heartbeat later. Erupted around her and roared.Over and over and over, if it were a hammer against an anvil.The others whirled to herThat raging, fiery song charged closer.Through herDown the mating bond. Down into her very soul.A bellow of fury and defiance.From down the hill, Alec rasped,“Adolpha.”It

Kera Asgorn The commander in the alley had claimed he had received the latest orders from Asgorn, North Coast, None of them knew whether to believe him.Sitting around a tiny fire in a dusty field on the outskirts of a ramshackle city, the blood long since washed from his hands, Lorcan , the Vampire Doctor again mulled over the logic of it.Had they somehow overlooked the simplest option? For Kera to have been in Asgorn entire time, hidden from his subjects? But that commander had been lying filth.He’d spat in Alec’s face before they’d ended it.The other commander they’d found today, however, after a week of hunting him down at the nearest
