Michael Gotham

There was something wrong with our mate Elena. Something big enough that she had been white as a sheet, trembling in Anthony’s arms when we found her.

My brother might not know it yet, but I could have sworn I'd smelled the rogue bastard’s acrid scent on her body. I'd had the chance to tell Anthony everything after his damning confession, and yet, I hadn't.

I'd been too fucking chicken shit and now the snake under our noses was targeting my Elena.

“Are you sure you're alright Lena? You know you can always talk to us if someone’s messing with you,” I growled, catching wide grey eyes that flickered with something I couldn't place before her face widened into a shaky smile.

“I'm fine, really…I just have a headache, I think I need to lay down a bit,” She rasped, and I bit my tongue at the obvious lie, watching my brother’s face tighten with worry, his arms flexing around her curvy body as he caught her mid-swoon.

“Are you sure? The baby-” Anthony hedged, but I cut him off,

    ELENA WOLFEThe tinkling of the large golden chandelier above me made me groan tiredly.I threw out an arm, trying to ignore the stab of longing in my chest when only thick cotton sheets twisted between my fingers.“Good morning, Miss Elena,” A woman’s soft voice made me moan before I scrunched up my nose at the bitter taste in the back of my throat.Could a pregnant woman not have a moment of peace and quiet for herself? It seemed to me that everyone, everyone except Nancy Gotham had been fussing over me ever since the news of my pregnancy broke.I stretched lazily to my feet, grunting to the maid’s curtsey before heading over to Anthony’s washroom to splash cold water on my face and rinse out my mouth.The dark-haired woman in the mirror who stared back at me with vibrant grey eyes was breathtaking.I ran my fingers carefully through the thick curls of my black hair that fell in bangs over the side of my face.Dark lashes fluttered against high cheekbones that sloped into a firm pin

    ELENA WOLFEMy heart thumped wildly as I stood before the full-length mirror of my room, staring blankly at my wide-eyed reflection in the glass.There had to have been about a hundred handmaidens in my room, busting themselves with the round poof of my dress and the laced black and red trail that extended all the way to the door.“Hurry Emilia! The guests are arriving!” One of the squeamish maids hissed, throwing down the long white curtains after she had gone to take a peek at what was happening outside.Emily’s soft hands flew across my face and hair, molding the dark tresses into exquisite curls, embedded with pearls and crystals that sparkled under the yellow light of the room.I eyed the silk and lace materials scattered around the floor and the maids who were dressed nicely in their flowery ball gowns, with their powdered faces gleaming under the light.Music had already begun to drift through the castle and the chatter of guests just outside made me squirm uneasily before the

    ELENA WOLFEThe Alphas stiffened beside me, but I kept my eyes firmly on the intruder.“Shit.” Michael hissed and my stomach dropped when I caught the guilty look on their faces that was quickly replaced by anger.Why weren't they sending her away? Fucking hell…at least she was late. There was nothing she could do now that I was the rightful Luna of Gotham!“What the fuck do you think you're doing here Carla Winehouse?” I called loudly, jutting my chin proudly when her eyes widened on the crown I knew was glowing on my head.I wanted her to look long and hard at the crown that would never be hers, and a smirk drew at the corner of my lips when the sharp lines of her face darkened.“It's hardly proper not to invite a noble princess to the royal wedding, don't you think, Elena? I wonder what the court will think of your attempts to keep me away.” The red-haired woman growled and I was suddenly afraid. My lips formed a tight shaky line as she swung her hips and strutted through the red c

    ANTHONY GOTHAMPanic raked through my chest like jagged claws and I caught my brother curling his hands into fists by my side as I watched the two women.“Alpha Anthony, is what the maiden speaks true? Is Miss Carla Winehouse, the reagent of this palace carrying your child?” Roderigo Stone boomed, and I watched the large beast elder stagger forward, his frog-like eyes shining with rage.“Fucking hell,” Michael hissed so that only I could hear and his damning words only confirmed what I had known the second that Cassandra burst through the double doors of the castle.There was no way out of this. Pain formed a gridlock around my heart when I turned to Elena, noting the hateful expression on her porcelain face.Rivulets of tears rolled down her cheeks, the silver of it catching the large overhead chandeliers the same way her diamond crown did.“Elena…please, I...I wanted to tell you, okay? I never wanted it to be like this-” My words were a jumble of emotions as horror and pain washed o

    ALPHA MICHAEL GOTHAMMy claws connected with the large trunk of the Bonsai tree before I could stop myself, sending the brown wood flying across the foyer with a thundering crack.“Would you calm down Michael? You’re causing a scene!” My brother’s voice was hard when he spoke up beside me and I whirled around in time to see the displeased scowl on his face.Was he taking the piss? “Are you fucking joking Anthony?” I hissed angrily, stabbing my claws into the hard plate of his chest and not caring when I felt the eyes of the castle's elite surrounding us.“We lose our fucking mate because of YOUR mistake and you're worried that I'm causing a bloody scene?” I spat, and my brother reared back like I had just plunged a knife between his ribs.It had only been hours since the fatal disaster that was our mate's wedding with Elena, and yet it felt to me like it had been years already.I had seen the broken look on her face back in the hall, the way her rounded shoulders seemed to collapse i

    ALPHA MICHAEL GOTHAM“There! That's their leader! Get him!” I roared when my eyes caught on the large beast with deep white scars etched into his fur.The beast’s glowing red eyes caught on my face before he let out a drawn out shriek.“What the fuck is that?!” My brother’s enraged roar filled my ears as he appeared beside me in a instant, the hulking frame of his wolf making a surge of pride swell in my chest.“Dead, fucking, meat. Let's go-” I snarled, feeling my bones snap and shift into place as I bounded after the huge wolf.How the hell was he so fast? Adrenaline shot through my body like lightning, and it was all I could do not to let my beast cloud my mind as I shot forward.Was Elena okay?I watched the beast’s large, slinking bodies disappear over the walls, across the heap of the gutted corpses of our archers. I paused, sickened by the scene.They had died protecting Gotham, and the pain in my chest mixed with rage at their brutal deaths.I roared, my thoughts collided into

    ELENA WOLFEMy entire body was trembling as I paced back and forth in my new room, wrapping my hands tightly around my sides as the chill of the night’s air blew in through the big windows.I could feel the maid’s uneasiness as she watched me pace the luxurious room with dark eyes.“You need to calm down Your Grace, the child-” She hedged, moving to meet me before I signaled her to stop.I didn’t trust myself to be around anyone yet. I could still feel the rage and pain biting in my belly and heart at the Alphas betrayal. “You know what I find amusing, Emilia?” I started, turning to face the slender girl and watching her eyes widen when she realized I had used her full name.“How is it, that you were the royal maid, Emilia, YOU were in and out of the royal apartments like a bloody rat, and yet you had no idea that Carla Winehouse was pregnant with my husband’s child?” I snarled, my tone cold as I watched shock freeze the girl’s pale face before she keeled over like she was going to b

    My fists unclenched and clenched back into rocks at my sides before I realized that I was angry…no. Fuming.How dare Michael talk to me like I was some fucking idiot? I hated it! I hated the cold look in his eyes, the same one I had seen in Elena’s cold grey ones before she swept away from our wedding hall with tears streaking down her porcelain cheeks.“Y-Your Highness! Sir Markov isn't in right now-” One of the guards in red uniforms stuttered when I stopped before the oak wood of the rogue’s private chambers.I glared at him like he was stupid, biting back the remark that rose to the tip of my tongue, “Then I'll just wait inside, is that alright with you sir?” I asked sarcastically, harsher than I had intended, and felt a stab of guilt in my chest when the guard. “O-of course, Your Highness…certainly!” He stammered, red-faced, and I watched as he bowed low enough that I was sure he was kissing his knees.The air was cold and stale when I threw open the door to the rogue’s chambers

The royal mistress’ carriage is ready,” A guard’s voice boomed in the hallway and my shoulders tensed immediately as I sucked in a breath.Shit, I had almost forgotten we were supposed t

Fuck, with most of our firepower soldiers injured I knew the string of guards would be no match for the colossal beasts that were pounding their way towards us with thick white drool dragging at the corners of their mouths.“Markov! Eyes on the gates! We need to stop that thing from getting any closer!” I thundered at the gaunt wolf who flashed his fangs in understanding, knocking down more the the beasts when they got too close.I flew at the beast a

A bolt of unease rips through my gut when the woman’s screams comes again, closer...more desperate.My feet are moving before I can stop myself just as I hear Michael curse behind me before his heavy footfalls tear through the space.The sight of a large beast on top of the red-haired woman made a bellow break from my throat as I watched the Cove beast’s eyes snap up before he flashed his fangs at me and disappeared.Those eyes…shit!

Can you hear me?” The rogue’s scratchy voice made me drop my fangs instinctively.Just how close was the motherfucker to me? Bloody hell if I didn't know any better I'd have sworn he had a crush on me or something!My eyes rolled around in my head before I dared to open them, the black pinhole of my vision slightly easing as I glanced around the dark room and realized I was hissing.What the hell was up with that?My veins felt like they were filled with molten lava and it was all I could do not to claw at the beautiful woman that strutted into the room only minutes after.“Could you get me more of this Markov? Please?” I whispered when he hesitated, still cradling Elena in my arms and watching his gaze flickered between the two of us before he snatched the blood bag from my hands, muttering curse words under his breath.“I'm not your fucking butler Gotham, get your own fucking blood next

Heck!

Freaking hell, you’re alive! You don't know how happy I am!” I managed to choke through the tears that were now streaming down my face.“I can see it,” Michael grunted and I pulled back to see the ghost of a smile on his face, noting how the dark circles around his eyes were gone.It felt too good to be true.“W-what herb is this? Did the nursemaids put you on some miracle moonshine or something? Heck, this feels just like one of Alaric’s experiments-” I chuckled unsurely now, my hands shaking on his chest before Michael’s hands circled mine, the sight of his black veins

I thought I'd never see you again-” My Queen panted, and I relished the way her breath caught in her throat when I rolled one pink rubbery nipple between my fingers, watching the way she arched her back into me.My entire body felt like it had gone up in flames and blood pounded in my ears as I plunged faster and faster between her splayed legs, allowing my eyes to squeeze shut as her moans grew louder and louder.I was almost sure the creak of the bed hitting the wall could be heard from a mile away as the sound of my balls hitting the soft round moons of her

Was the palace under attack?! I felt my breath hitch in my throat so violently that nausea rolled through my body.Hurt and terror thrummed in my chest as I broke through the double doors, catching Elena just as she flew away from my brother’s pale body, her grey eyes wide with fear.“What the fuck is going on?” I roared, my voice harsher than I would have intended when the woman’s teary eyes met mine.“It's Michael…he…he-” Elena hiccuped, whipping her head from side to side before I caught her in my arms.I couldn't help the way my heartbeat spiked in my chest and held her in my arms reflexively.
