Chapter 55

last update Last Updated: 2021-12-29 12:11:56

I shifted on the oak bench as my butt went numb, resting my elbows on the head table of Wild Hall, which was a great feasting hall made of wood and straw. The walls were painted with murals of savage wolve hunts that made my insides too queasy to even enjoy the tankards of beer and platters of bread or the aroma of suckling pig, which was being turned over a vast fire in the center of

the benches of wolves.

At this feast in honor of my Claiming of the Jungles’ soon to be king, I hoped that the pack who were chatting and relaxed now that I’d proved myself couldn’t tell that I was the type of Wolve Winner who was still savoring the taste of their soon to be king in her mouth.

Because I was…although, not in the way that sounded.

I chased the last of Moon’s tingling popping candy blood with my tongue, when wishing that I wasn’t still tingling with the feel of him beneath me.

    A Wolve Winner only needed one beautiful beast to work her powers. I’d already Claimed Moon. It struck me as I tapped my foot against the straw floor of Wild Hall (because hey, I was nervous about meeting the Soon to be king of theLords), that this second soon to be king was Tribute, sacrifice, and toy.I’d already created Zhen, yet even he was a prankster, rather than a slave. I was honestly not in the market for anyone unwilling (strike that: seriously enthusiastic), and one wedding a day was my limit. But if I didn’t follow this tradition, would it break the peace treaty, as well as let down my aunt and the other covens?I was meant to be Liaison to the Wolve Empire, ensuring that there wasn’t another war. Why then did it feel like Isabella had simply thrown me to the wolves? Although, these wolves were wickedly hot.When I clenched my fists on top of

    In a coppery stench of blood magic, Isabella’s spell spat Jeremy and me out onto the satin sheets of the four-poster in my bedroom on either side of astartled…and naked…Mischief.Out of instinct, Mischief curled his wings around us, as we bounced on the mattress, pulling us closer against his hard chest. His heights coiled in a caress against my jerremy.I gaped, as the primitive groove of “Sympathy for the Devil” by the Rolling Stones boomed from the beamed roof and the creepy butted stone wolves sang out Satan’s boasting with disturbing enthusiasm. At the same time, my resident angel, Anthony, bopped to the music, also naked (and boy, was Isabella right in calling him a long pink drink of deliciousness), when his fairy tale hair swung side to side just like his far too perfect penis. He’d lost his sweet shyness, maybe because I hadn’t been here. Also, any awareness of i

    If anyone had told me back in America to ignore the taunts and stares when I’d arrived with nobody but my cousin at the Starlight Prom because back home in England, I’d be woken twice in one night by a greedy half incubus whispering: let me pleasure you…? Well, maybe I wouldn’t have slipped the Truth Potion in the punch for revenge and then laughed, when the arrogant jerks who’d rejected me, babbled out everything that they’d always tried to hide,including both the girls and exams, on which they’d cheated.Good times…Although, nothing like as good as waking up to my ravenous Charm stroking my hair for the second time, as Jeremy’ eyes glittered with sinful mischief and the moonlight shone over the bedroom like a shimmering blanket.I shivered, even though I was still wrapped in the heat of my mother’s dress and cape. Somehow,

    The moon shone like a heights cape through the window, across the angels and wolve trapped in the satin mouth of the bed, Moon paralyzed by my shadows against the wall, and got Moth’s pearl-like tears in the corners of his eyes. They were all under my power, but I was as ensnared in this house and its lies asthey were.I slowly lowered my hand, so as not to startle Moth, before enveloping his trembling form gently in my arms. At last, the tears fell down his cheeks, and he sobbed. The sweet scent of ylang ylang wafted from his skin and hair, and I wondered why, when Moon had been washed in only cheap carbolic soap.I rubbed Moth’s back, when I studied Moon, who’d tensed like I was about to turn the kid into stone next to the other wolve gargoyles…and I guess that I didn’t blame him.“If I let you go from the jerremy,” I eyed Moon warily, “do you promise to obey me?&rdqu

    The third time that I was wrenched to the House of Seasons by blood magic, I knew that I’d become more comfortable with my sorceres side because the way that it bubbled my blood and coated my tongue in a coppery tang didn’t disturb me. What did mess with my head…? The way that I tumbled into a room that was like the inside of a cauldron with shadowy arches and seats all around it, as if I was in a show for an invisible audience, when raised on the platform on fur thrones were three creatures from my nightmares: robed sorcereses withwolve masks.I shrieked, scrambling backwards on the smooth floor. My jerremy shadows whipped out in automatic defense, but instantly they were seized and forced back inside me by metallic shadows that wove out of the ceiling and pulled me up, until I hung with my arms above my head, unable to move.When my guys had suggested pinning my arms, warmth had unfurled deep inside, until I’d tingled at

    I fought to lock inside the sobs that threatened to overwhelm me. Bronze shadows snaked around my head in the Justice Chamber, trapping inside my jerremy just the same as my tears. Why had I traveled back to Oxford to answer my aunt’s text? I’d thought that all I’d have to do would be Claim an Alpha, then magically I’d become the Wolve Winner destined by the House of Heights.Instead, I’d wound up condemned as a rebel and facing execution.I stared between the three silent wolve masks, as the judge, jury, and executioner sat on their furry thrones. These were the sorcereses who long ago, I’d hoped would welcome me into their covens. Later, when no engraved letter, talking broomstick, telepathic black cat or however I’d figured it’d work, arrived to call me away from my uncle’s non-magical world, I’d dreamed of being left alone to carve out my own life.But Isabella’

    The Claiming Suite in the House of Seasons was a grand bedroom with imposing vases and desks, which was painted in murals and dominated by a four-poster bed, which was decorated with twisting metallic roses like it wasn’t symbolism for romance being dead. I mean, it would’ve been dominated by the bed, if the Soon to be king of the Alphas hadn’t been chained — naked — with his armsabove his head to one of the posts.When I closed the door behind me, ready to collapse in exhaustion and finally sleep after Isabella had lectured me for hours alone in the privacy of her room until it honestly couldn’t have been any clearer that she’d meant it that I had to prove myself worthy, I’d turned, only to discover King tied to my bed.I couldn’t help the small smile that built as I stared at his muscled chest, fascinated by the butterfly tattoo, whose vast wings beat over his

    I looked with widened eyes through the one-way mirror, when my jerremy snapped angrily at the glbutt, at the lab in which Moon was being trained by Jason and Alex like the Blood twins had paired up again fresh from mynightmares.Was this mirror here so that the sorcereses could watch the breaking of a werewolve like it was part of the curriculum?When King and I had first sneaked from the Claiming Suite through the silent House of Seasons, when my heart had thundered in my chest and I’d jumped at every shadow because I had to free my Charms before my aunt discovered us, I’d hidden, expecting that Jason would be able to spy us through the other side of the glbutt.King’s mouth had tightened, however, as he’d waved me forward. “We have the same schooling rooms in my empire for difficult Alphas to be displayed to the Alpha Academy. Amusing, wouldn’t you say, that your aunt and my

    In all my dreams of being surrounded by wolves, which had haunted me since the murder of my parents, never once had those wolves been mechanicalmonsters.It turned out that reality was more terrifying than nightmares, who knew? Except perhaps the shifters had known all along that single skins had beastshidden within them as well, even if they only ever showed one face.The back of my throat was sticky with sweat in the sweltering heat of the Justice Chamber, and my heart thundered. My Charms and Anthony formed a defensive circle around me, when Moon pushed his brother behind him. The wind from Mischief’s violently beating wings gusted across my cheeks like breath.The mechanical wolves growled.I moved, as they prowled closer. Their eyes glowed, just like Moon’s, yet freakishly wrong. They wore loosely over their bronze backs the white pelts of the real murdered Alphas, as if they were wolves try

    I hunched my shoulders, staring blankly back at where the House of Heights had once stood and the terrible visions from the past that Siobhanny had shown me.Now, there was only rubble with the bones of beams and floorboards jutting out.I glowered at mangled remains of the metal cage from the Discipline Cellar.Holy hell, my Charms had witnessed the atrocities committed by my ancestors. How could they be lying here with me snuggled on the lawns? How could Jeremy be running his gloved hand up and down with teasing touches between my tits, until I thought that I’d growl at him just to caress my aching nubs, for the sake of Hecate?“I’m not the same as them,” I said in a small voice. “I’m not my great-grandmother or my mother.”I could sense that my guys had stilled but I didn’t dare look over at them. “Oh, but you are, sorceres

    Trapped beneath the heights sea of the ceiling in the Discipline Cellar, I stared wildly, as it bulged above Siobhanny’s head, then birthed a gilded angel whosewings beat with furious magic.Holy hell, it was Mischief in truly godly form who hovered above Siobhanny. I realized that I’d never seen him acting the archduke before and sparking with righteous rage.It was scorching-hot.Yet why had he held back when we’d been fighting? And how much was it costing him to rescue us now? Unless, you know, he had more of a plan than to fright Siobhanny into letting us go?My jerremy wrenched at the shackles around King, battling against the dark magic that bound him and hissing at its sting. King twisted in his chains to dodge the dripping heights, when Jeremy and Moon snatched up paddles to hold over his shoulders and protect him.Yep, I didn’t miss the irony of the

    I stepped alone into the middle of a war. Only, there was no rattle of gunfire, boom of explosions, or thunder of tanks. Instead, there was an eerie red that swallowed the world like it’d been transformed to Mars, which consumed even the sky. My own red cocooned itself around me, as if it could protect me from the jerremy shadows in this past memory that washed over the ancient woodsand the banks of the Thames.Huh, that was what it was like to know that you’d only been a kid playing with your powers because these shadows that stormed with fury were my jerremy shadows at their most terrifying.They were the jerremy tide and boy, were they not being controlled.I paled, pressing the heels of my hands against my eyes like that would end the horror of the scene, but when I pulled my hands away again, nothing had changed: my great-grandmother was still alone on the hill beside the Thames, decimating the werewolves.S

    Dazed, I stared at the smoldering bed and scorched walls of my bedroom, which had now been transformed into a battleground.I clutched Zhen, as he hugged my throat. He growled at Siobhanny, even though she was still hiding from sight.Siobhanny was the essence of the House of Heights and every Wolve Winner who’d come before me. She wouldn’t kill one of the Wolve Winner line, right? Unless, I’d pissed off my ancestors enough with my modernization of their customs because let’s face it: their traditions sucked.My uncle had often faced opposition when he’d modernized his company.But then, he’d never risked burning.I watched as my Charms warily prowled to their feet. Anthony draggedMischief to the corner of the room, since his burst of flight had exhausted him.Moon held out his hand to me, helping me to my

    I was a Wolve Winner, sprawled in bed with three Claimed werewolves, an angel, and a god. But honestly, all I cared about was the guy I loved who laynext to me like he’d been cursed under a wicked sorceres’s spell.And I was the sorceres who’d poisoned him.Except, this wasn’t a fairy tale because in a fairy tale, Moon would awake on a kiss.I pressed my mouth more firmly to Moon’s mouth like this kiss would count as our first one, and it’d stir him back to life. Although, I knew that it wouldn’t count as our first kiss because Moon couldn’t feel it, and it had no magical powers to awaken him.I still imagined Moon’s arms raising to clasp around my throat, as his amber eyes fluttered open to stare into mine with love, loyalty, and wonder at our kiss, when his tongue pushed up to press between my parted mouth with equal de

    In a sorcereses’ house that moved like it was made of no more than cards and any motherent could fall, I was held firm in the cool arms of a mage, when a wolve nuzzled at my shoulder. The Ambbuttador and Alex might not be mine in the way that my Charms were, but I could feel my connection to them through myshadows.How could I keep either safe from my aunt whose rage was tearing apart the House of Seasons? The ceiling warped, caving in, and I shrieked.“When you were born, I made a promise to your mum because she’d already lost a child.” Isabella levitated go to me.My mother had lost a child?I’d never known that but then, I guessed that I’d been too young to tell, before my parents had been killed.Yet why had my uncle never told me?My chest ached at the thought. Had it been a brother or a sister? Did they die in the womb, at birth, or after? Would t

    This wasn’t a cloud but the floor of the Clocktower in the House of Seasons, when I was looking out through the glbutt clockface onto the city below. I must have a bitch of a concussion, although I also had a feeling that maybe angel duty would’ve been easier than whatever Isabella had planned.Still: yey life…I groaned, rubbing my sore temples, as I shoved myself onto my knees. The room swam, and I swayed with dizziness.I was going to hurl.“Ah, you’re awake, sleepyhead. Did you have sweet dreams of sinful shifters?” My head shot up at Isabella’s voice from across the room, then I bent over again, as lights flashed in front of my eyes. Isabella tutted. “No puking in my fabulous house. My Alpha has been working hard today, and with your constant screaming about wolve rights, it’d be mean of you to give him another chore. Unless you get off on the ide

    I didn’t know that I’d be able to experience my Charms’ pain like it was my own, but when Lyall savaged Moon’s throat right over my own Wolve Bite,severing my Claim, I howled.Agony swept through me — Moon’s own, entwining around mine — when my shadows trembled with it. I dropped to my knees on the marble bathroom floor, cradling my arms around my head.Then suddenly, Moon’s heights tugged at my red. I lowered my arms, until my look met Moon’s, even though Lyall was still licking over her bite, savoring his blood with a smug satisfaction that filled me with a shuddering urge to kick her butt.King and Jeremy prowled closer, growling.Then, despite the fact that Moon was naked apart from his collar, bitten, and shaking, he lifted his chin, which in any other Alpha would’ve looked like he was offering his throat submissively.Yet in Moon…?
