ALPHA MICHAEL GOTHAM

My 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

    Carla WinehouseAnthony Gotham’s hazel-green eyes burned through my body like fire. The first Alpha was in his usual all-black ensemble, black dress shirt and baggy leather pants that still somehow emphasized the hard body underneath.His hair was longer, curling at the base of his neck and falling messily around the sides of his face as he glared up at me silently, his golden shoulder pads glinting in the moonlight.“Goddess help me,” I muttered, shivering and stumbling away from the windows when he strode inside the overhang of the balcony. I could feel trepidation wind tight coils through my belly as his footsteps echoed loudly on the stairs, and then in the hallway.Oh god, Anthony was going to be here any second! What do I do? What do I do? My heart raced wildly inside me eyes bulged from their sockets as I froze with indecision before the doors flew open and he stood before me.Power and rage crackled around his stout frame like lightning and the King glided to me like a cat.

    ANTHONY GOTHAMThe Gotham dungeon was dark and cold, smelling faintly of moss and mildew. And blood...so much blood.The prisoner was surrounded by it, the thick liquid splattered on the rough gray walls like a macabre painting. I was itching to use the wrench in my hand once more, but Michael’s intense blue eyes held me in place.My brother had been acting off lately, his usual penchant for violence diminished to almost nothing after our confrontation in the foyer.If he was going to fight me for the throne then he had to put less effort into being a bloody goody-two-shoes.“Tell me again, Hagrid, what it is your Alpha is doing with these wolves,” I growled, and the overhead fluorescent whizzed dramatically, flickering before resuming its steady hum in the quiet room.Hagrid Wolfe groaned, turning to face me with his one good eye and struggling weakly against the silver chains wrapped around his thick body and neck.“You're going to want to think about your answer Wolfe.

    MICHAEL GOTHAMFedora’s pinched black eyes burned holes in my face the second I stepped through the doors of the throne room.I could smell the musk of the elders that had gathered in the yellow-lit room before I saw them.They smelled like smoke and fire…like danger.“Nice of you to finally join us Your Highness, we were beginning to think you would ignore us like your brother,” Roderigo exclaimed in a voice that was louder than necessary and I resisted the urge to punch him in his face.I nodded at the other wolves, their grim expressions doing nothing to calm the panic raging inside me.This was what I got for Anthony’s little freak show.The men’s words blurred to static in my ears before I picked up on one of the agitated wolf’s rants.“You saw his barbaric actions back in that square Michael, surely you can't expect us to keep quiet about someone as unhinged as your brother being the Alpha of this pack!” Roderigo the elder roared, rising to his feet with enough force that I feare

Either of my mates.The pain in my chest felt like a rock now, hard and unyielding, no matter how many oil massages the servants gave me.I had time to think about everything, how perfect our love was until Carla’s shocking announcement. Everyone had loved me, even the elders, but now that everyone knew the red-haired woman had been pregnant before me, the threads of power had shifted to her hands. Her fucking claws.“I'm sure they're just as worried about you as you are about them M’lady,” Emily offered with a hopeful voice as I paced the room, before pausing to scoff.My reflection in the mirror was regal. I should have been used to seeing myself now, as the new Luna of Gotham and yet, my breath still somehow managed to get lodged in my throat.Dark mascara lined my eyes, making the almond shape seem almost mournful. My big grey eyes stared back in horror, the hint of tears m

It was obvious that she hadn't expected me to scream back at her, and I jutted my chin stubbornly, glaring right back at her.A low chuckle escaped her bright red lips before she pushed into me, making me stumble back until my back slapped against the cold grey walls of the palace buildings.I felt trapped, like the walls in my head were closing in.“You must feel pretty big talking to me like that Elena, don't you?” Nancy Gotham hissed, but there was a menacing glint in her eyes now that made my stomach roll.I opened and closed my mouth wordlessly, unable to unhook the words from my throat when I caught Emily’s wide eyes watching me from the dark mouth of the corridor opposite us.The maid was in her black and white monochrome uniform with a silver tray balanced on one hip and a glazed look I couldn't place in her eyes before she strode towards us cautiously.“Just remember this won't last l

    Queen Elena Gotham“Bloody hell, are they fucking trying to wake the dead?” The man’s voice in my ear growled and I tried to bite down on the laugh that bubbled up inside me.The noisy grind of saws and breaking concrete made me screw my eyes open with a satisfied yawn and my lips formed a smile at Michael’s husky voice.“Good morning my love-” Anthony growled before pressing his lips to my head, the amusement twinkling in his eyes as I blushed furiously, untangling my body from their twinned limbs.It had been almost three weeks since the war and the birth of our son, Aiden Gotham, and Carla’s daughter Yulga.Anthony and Michael had moved me fully into their grand chambers and Gotham’s rebuilding was slowly coming together, with double the size of the men and cannons we had before.“Your Highnesses! 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

    Michael GothamAdrenaline shot through my body like liquid dynamite and I knew deep inside me part of it had to be the curse working.It felt like a rift was opening in my head as my wolf shifted into place, my muscles bulging until there were plate-sized grooves in my shoulders and biceps before I charged at the flood of beasts, taking out a decent chunk of them by swinging my long sharp claws in a messy arc.“Who dares to invade Gotham?” I roared at the beast’s approaching and the frail line of guards between us with their shields up. 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

    ANTHONY GOTHAM“What the fuck was that?” Michael’s harsh voice rasped and I snapped my head up in time for a woman’s haunting scream echo through the dark woods again.The thick line of blood smeared around Michael’s jaw from the carcass he bit into looked garish with the silvery moonlight beating down on us between the thick pine trees.What the hell was any woman doing out here by this time?And why the hell did it sound so familiar? 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! The baby!” Markov’s scathing hiss was quick behind me but I didn't care as I wrapped my hands around Michael’s hard body, marveling at how much bigger he had gotten.It was like he had changed overnight! “Oh my goodness! 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.
