2022-04-24 08:04:12“Orrin, calm down,” Anja’s hand on my face has me looking at her.
My heart skipped a beat when Anja walked into my office, wearing black trousers and a matching long blazer, hair in a French twist. I can’t believe how lucky I am sometimes.
She climbed into my lap and wrapped her arms around me. Just feeling Anja against me calmed my nerves a little.
I shouldn’t be nervous; I’m King. But the truth is that I am terrified of meeting Liam. He may be my biological father, but I don’t know him as such, and I’ve had mere days to get used to this. I can’t hide away from the man because he’s my mother’s mate, and they deserve my blessing.
I could deny their bond and have Liam sent away, as is my right. But I would lose my mother and sisters because they’d all go w

I couldn’t put my finger on what was wrong when Liam first walked into the room. He seemed perfectly fine, tall, handsome, built like Orrin, and had a smile that would melt any woman’s panties.However, something was nagging at me, something off about him. I didn’t get any ill-feeling from Liam, just a whole heap of hidden sadness. The man was keeping something big from Larentia, and it drove me crazy trying to work it out. Then the voice was back, and I spaced out while Orrin and Liam spoke.‘There are many things in this world one cannot explain,’ The voice told me. ‘Phenomenons, some would say.’

“Anja? What are you talking about?”Anja doesn’t look at me; her now red eyes stare straight at Liam. I narrow my eyes while looking between the two, both stare at each other.“Liam?” Mother touches his arm. I’ve never heard her sound so afraid before. “What is she talking about?” Liam doesn’t answer; he seems to be in shock. “Liam?”“Somebody better answer!” I use my Alpha tone, causing all three to bow slightly. At least, it seems to have snapped Anja out of the trance she seemed to be in.“Orrin,” Anja leans into the touch of my hand on her face.“What happened? Why would you say something like that?”‘Remember the bad feeling we

“After my last call with Dermot,” Liam begins. “I lost my mind a little. One minute I was holding the phone; the next, I was standing on the edge of a cliff. I couldn’t think about anything other than what I’d lost. How was I supposed to go on without the woman I loved?” I keep my eyes on Liam, both my wolf and I reading the man for lies. I don’t sense any right now, but he’s only just begun his story. “I was part of Riverside Pack, but they didn’t have much to do with me. Jay, my wolf, was too dominant for them, so they pretty much outcast me. I had no one to talk to, no one to give a damn, and no one to miss me. Having my father trick me into thinking I could finally go home was the last straw. Call me what you will, but at that moment, I no longer wanted to live.” He shrugs, and I see such sadness in his eyes. “I let myself fall,” My mother gasps, eyes wide, and I see the tears in her eyes. However, she doesn’t say anything, not wanting to interrupt her mate as he speaks. “I don

Anja is right; I know she is. I can’t keep trying to find fault with the man who helped create me; he doesn’t deserve to be cast out by his son the way he was everyone else in his life. I can’t and don’t even want to imagine what it feels like to be so unwanted. I know that I’ll never find the answers to why it happened; my grandparents and Dermot are all dead. They took their reasons with them to the grave. I doubt even Liam fully understands why all of that happened to him. But even though it did, he still stayed grounded enough not to turn rogue, keeping his heart true. “Why would you ask for my happiness?” Mother’s question pulls me away from my internal conversation with my mate. “Why not ask for something for yourself?” I watch as Liam shifts in his seat and lays his hand on my mother’s face. Her eyes close for a moment as she leans into his touch. Goddess, now I know how kids feel when they see their parents being all lovey-dovey, it’s sickening! ‘You’re such a dickhead, a

“You’re awfully quiet.”I turn my head and look at Liam.After leaving Orrin’s office, I sent Liam to our room and checked on my children. The girls were all fine, and I explained that Liam would be staying, but I couldn’t find Adrian anywhere. I mind-linked him, but he didn’t answer.I’m worried about my son, and I pray that he’ll come around.

Having my whole family around the breakfast table brings a smile to my face. Cedric and Lysette haven’t arrived yet, but they’ll be here soon. They’ve been travelling since Adore’s ceremony because Cedric wanted to show Lysette how much Zidiah had changed in the time she’d been blind. Mother hadn’t mentioned Liam to them because Mother wasn’t ready. Jasper couldn’t contain his excitement to see Liam, which is crazy when he's never met the man. Though I suppose he's heard a lot about Liam from Cedric. Dermot may not have spoken about Liam to his children, but Cedric was never shy in speaking about his big brother. Dermot forbade Cedric from saying anything to my siblings and me, however. Jasper was shocked to learn that Liam was my father, as I imagine everyone was. Jasper has been sworn to secrecy because I don’t want it getting out just yet. I haven’t decided what to do about this whole thing yet. My sisters have gotten used to the fact pretty quickly.

“I can show you both mine and your mother’s past.” “No,” Larentia grabs Liam’s arm and shakes her head. “I don’t want my sons to see my past. Please, Liam.” Liam cups Larentia’s cheek. “It’s the only way for them to understand the truth. I know how hard it was for you to tell me everything, but they need to know. I’ll be right here with you.” “But I don’t want Adrian to think differently of his father.” “Just show me!” Adrian yells, causing Orrin to growl. “Fine.” Liam sighs. “I think your mates should see this too.” Orrin holds his hand out to me. ‘Come here, baby.’ He tells me through the mind link. I smile while taking his hand. Goddess, his hand is so warm, and it dwarfs mine. ‘Are you sure you want me to see this?’ ‘I won’t keep things from you, Anja.’ I smile again and accept the kiss my mate offers. “Everyone hold hands,” Liam takes Orrin’s free hand, I take Tracey’s, and Adrian takes his mother’s. “Whatever happens, do not let go.

Twenty-Five years later “Dad? You okay?” I turn away from my bedroom window and face my daughter with a smile. “Something I can help you with?” Lilly says nothing, just walks into my open arms. My daughter will one day take over the throne. My sons are strong Romarians, but Lillian is an Omerian, much more powerful than anyone predicted. It’s been many years since there was a crowned Queen of Zidiah. My daughter will be the first in two hundred years. My children have struggled with having Lorcan’s spirit share Luther’s body all their lives. The witch who stole him from us did the unthinkable. Killing the child as we thought was bad enough, but what she’d, in fact, done was force Luther and Lorcan to share one body. It took twenty-five years and Luther’s little mate to separate Luther and Lorcan. But Jenna did it, and Lorcan is now here in the physical. I love Lorcan, none could ever say that I don’t, but the boy is insane. All those years living inside his brother have left Lo

I gasp and stumble as blood falls from my mouth. The power of the Firsts rips from my body, flowing back into them.What the fuck just happened?I fall to my knees, gasping for air and clutching my chest. I feel as though I’m in another dimension, but, strangely, I feel like my old self once again.Thank the Goddess!However, I remember every vile thing I’ve done over the past weeks, and my heart is breaking.Tears fall from my eyes, and I sob. I’m a monster! There is no other word for it: I’m a monster and will never be anything more.“Anja?” I look at the man crouching in front of me. “My child,” Mythius cups my cheek. “You are free.”“I don’t know what happened,” I admit.“The blood of the Firsts corrupted your heart and mind. It almost stole your life force, but your mate saved you. How did he do this? No one knows.”“Orrin,” My eyes widen. “Where is he?”Mythius smiles sadly. “I’m sorry, young one.”“No,” I shake my head while clambering to my feet. “He’s not gone; I would feel i

“Are you sure this is the way?”“Yes, Freddy,” I mumble.Today is the day. I have but moments to save Anja, and I cannot fail. It’s taken days to find her hiding place, yet it shouldn’t have – not when we’ve followed the bodies along the way.So many shifters have been killed, too many to count. It seemed that no one was safe from my mate. Anja cared not for who she killed nor the land she destroyed.What has become of my mate?If I do manage to save her, will she ever be the same?Will she be my Anja or someone I don’t recognise?I feel sick with nerves as I approach the cave in which Anja is hiding. Liam, Adrian, and Freddy all insisted on coming with me. It didn’t matter how many times I protested; they wouldn’t listen. I also know the Firsts are following, hiding out of sight, but they’re there.They’ve come to the end of their tether, and no amount of me protesting would stop them from ending Anja.

“You need to sort this, Orrin!” I roll my eyes at Mythius. Fucking vampire prick is driving me nuts! I know that I need to sort things, but I’m at a loss for what to do here. “Your mate is out of control, and the Firsts have been talking. They want Anja neutralised before the week is out.” I know what that means; they want Anja put down. It won’t happen, but I don’t know how much longer I can hold them off. After what happened in the woods the other day, things have been slowly getting worse. Anja has killed more people than even I can count. Goddess knows I understand where Mythius and others are coming from. But I cannot stand back and allow anyone to hurt my mate. Our cubs need her; I need her! Four days ago, I was called to the forest, where I found my mate torturing rogues. Adrain, Liam, and I ran as fast as we could when Mythius called. Bodies were littering the ground, decapitated, deformed, and bent in unnatural ways. Dozens upon dozens of rogues were dead as the Firsts,

On the other hand, Amanda and Leopold felt the mate bond the moment they laid eyes on each other. They sparked in a way no other Kulumi bear ever has, and their love story is one that will last the ages. A woman out of her timeline with the face of another ended up being the King’s, destined mate. Nothing could have been more perfect.“Amanda,” Leopold wraps Amanda in his big arms, lifting her slightly because she’s a foot and half shorter than he is. “My love.”Though I knew Leopold loved Amanda, I never realised how much until this moment. The pale blue and lilac auras swimming around their heads as they kiss tenderly only provides more evidence that they belong together. They’re deeply in love, and nothing could take that away from them, not even death.I understand now why Leopold would never take another wife.

I hadn’t heard Brody come into the room, but he’s certainly made his presence known since. “What have you done to my father?”“Brody, stand down,” Leopold waves his hand at his son.“Stand down? She was banished from Kulumi and ended up the damn Queen of Zidiah.”Leopold narrows his eyes, confused by what Brody just said about me being banished from Kulumi. But of course, he would be.“Does the King know she’s here? Or should we be expecting Orrin Dalgaard to bring war down on us?”I get to my feet.Brody is no threat to me, but I won’t have him stand over me, trying to intimidate me.“Orrin knows that I’m here, Brody. No, he wasn’t happy about it, but when I explained why I needed to come, he took a step back.”“Why are you here?” The man who used to be my best friend grinds between his teeth.I take a deep breath before using my vampiric ability to wipe Brody’s memories of who I was to him, just as I did with Leopold.I then explain everything to Brody.

“It is true, Leopold. But there’s more.” “What more could there be, Anja?” I know this is a lot for Leopold to take in, but he needs to know everything. So, I explain his sister-in-law’s plans to kill his child due to Amanda’s death. Leopold’s eyes widen in shock, and I see the bear within trying to break out. Not once did Leopold blame Dania for what happened. “I’ll kill her!” Leopold roars. ‘Why did you tell him that?!’ Asha screams inside my head. ‘You didn’t need to say anything. You planned to glamour the clan into forgetting who you were here and believing Amanda hadn’t even died. ‘Everything would have been as it always was, but you had to go and spill this shit to the King. Once you’d glamoured everyone, nobody would have wanted to kill Dania. What the hell is wrong with you?’ Crap! Asha is correct, but I wasn’t thinking.
