ELENA WOLFE

Seven nights. That was how long it had been since I'd seen either of the powerful Gotham Alphas. 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

    ELENA WOLFENancy Gotham’s narrow face seemed to pale with shock as silence hung between us. 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

    Anthony GothamEveryone wouldn't stop fucking talking to me.Was it too much for a man to ask for a little peace and quiet? I gripped the sides of my head, spitting into the porcelain bowl of my washroom as more knocks banged away on the gold double doors of my chambers.“Bloody hell, show yourself!” I roared, glaring at the uniformed guard who stood pale-faced as the double doors swung open.I recognized him as one of the chumps that guarded the gates and turned back to the mirror with a barely concealed sneer.My hazel eyes looked like dynamites in the shadowed room and my knuckles had turned white where I gripped the marbled vanity, waiting for the wolf to speak.“Alpha Michael requests your presence, Your Highness. He says it is a matter of utmost importance.” The guard stammered as I watched his face blanching from the mirror.There was a shadow of a dark beard on my jaw, a sign that I hadn't shaved in days. The sharp lines of my face and jaw made me look rugged. Like a wolf pir

    Michael GothamSmoke curled in the air around us as I paused only feet away from my brother’s mountain frame.The air smelled slightly of sandalwood and rose trimmings from the bonfire at the center of the palace, drifting through to us by the chilly night breeze.Anthony’s almond-shaped eyes were dark with power and longing, and the sight of his need made something spiked lodge in my own throat.An owl booted somewhere in the distant pine trees on the perimeter of the palace and the uneasiness in my gut seemed to squelch in response.My voice took on a scratchy tone as I told Anthony all about Markov’s blackmail, watching his eyes flash with anger first, and then disdain before the expressionless mask settled back over his face.Things between us had become rough again after our mating night with Elena, after that bitch whore of his ruined everything.“It appears Klein Markov has gotten too big for his breeches,” Anthony murmured, his hazel-green eyes glazing over before they snapped

    CARLA WINEHOUSEGotham palace was quieter than it had ever been when I stepped out of my chambers, where I had been hiding out away from the Alphas.That was the thing about doing something scandalous, the immediate need to take cover was a wise choice in Gotham if one didn’t want to lose their good head.I had felt the Alphas absence before I’d heard the great palace gates rocketing open and the stampede of horses storming away from the lot.“Hello?” I croaked tentatively, but only the distant sound of conversation reached my ears.My curly red hair felt heavy behind me as I swept toward the voices, sucking through arched entryways and paths until I saw the old Wueen sitting round a small white table with her posse of fans.I was over this shit. Panic wormed it’s way into my gut when I remembered Alfred’s threats. What would Alaric do to me when he realized I had failed the one simple task he had given me? To keep an eye on FUCKING ELENA.“What’s going on?” I whispered, feigning an

    ANTHONY GOTHAMMy body felt hot all over as I gripped the horse’s reins firmly, grinding my teeth against the biting winter snow that blew a chill across the dark woods.Two nights. That was how long it had been since the rogue had kidnapped my woman. My Luna…my Elena.It took every fiber of control in my body not to torch the woods, to burn everything to a crisp if it meant seeing Elena…if it meant having her back.“See anything?! There has to be a trail! They couldn't just have disappeared!” Michael’s booming voice thundered across the spaces in the trees and I jerked my head up to spot the string of fire torches some distance away.“I want every stone upturned, I want your eyes peeled so far back you can see the wind fellows! Fast! Move fast!” He roared, his straight back clad in an all-black leather coat that emphasized his muscles and the impressive line of his shoulders.I stiffened at Michael’s harshness despite myself and watched the soldiers scatter like flies into the dark l

    Anthony Gotham“Hawk. Status report.” I ground through clenched teeth as we slammed the horses to a stop inside the huge lattice gates of the palace.My boots hit the cobblestone path with a thud and I jogged toward the circle of guards around the grey husk of the servant’s apartment with the guard following closely behind my brother and me.“Happened only minutes ago Your Highness, one of the royal maids was found in a bloody pile in the common kitchens,” I felt my patience thin even more as I stared at him in disbelief. We had come all the way here for a bloody maid? The guard seemed to understand the expression on my face before hurrying farther down the path, forcing us to follow.“Normally one of the elders would handle such delicate matters, Your Highness but I'm afraid this was impossible seeing as it was one of the Luna’s own handmaidens,” The one-eyed wolf grunted, and a bolt of current whipped through my body.“Who?” Michael snarled before I could, slamming to a stop the s

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.
