ELENA WOLFE

The buzz of guards striding in and out of the wooden cabin filled the air.

The second Alpha had kept true to his word and it worried me.

There were hundreds of uniformed Gotham wolves striding in and around the clearing surrounding our safe house and it was all I could do not to pull my hair in frustration.

“Come on people, are we getting this wall up or not?!” The rogue roared, and I turned to see the half-finished oak wood door that leaned against the door frame, the shiny brass knob catching the falling rays of the sun almost mesmerizingly.

A ton of soldiers and nursemaids had arrived at the safe house after everything that had happened and yet there was still no sign of Michael…no sign of Emily.

“Where should I keep this? Your Grace?” One of the pale-faced women in a monochrome milk-maid outfit rasped behind me and I turned to see her holding a thick blue flower vase in her hands.

It would go well with the chestnut wood walls of my room.

    MICHAEL GOTHAMThe dark-haired woman’s eyes were wide and frightened when she faced me, lowering her body to the white rumpled sheets of the bedding as I scrambled for how best to break the news to her.“What's going on Michael? You’ve been acting strange lately,” Elena breathed, clutching at my wrists when I brushed my hands over her shoulders reflexively, unable to resist touching her.If I was this desperate to be near my mate, how the hell was Anthony coping? I shook my head to clear the awful thoughts before realizing the woman’s soft grey eyes were still watching me.“Is this about Anthony? Did he say anything?” She rasped as if she had read my mind and I bit down on the reflexive jerk that worked at my shoulders before shaking my head no.“No, Anthony has nothing to do with this my love,” I breathed, exhaling a resigned sigh as dread pooled in my gut.“Then what is it?!... Surely…not Emily! They don't suspect she had anything to do with my disappearance-” She whispered, her be

    Michael GothamThe weight pressed against my chest when I awoke with a start hardly felt real. Elena. I cursed inwardly.I hadn't imagined sleeping for this long! It was a wonder we weren't woken by Anthony’s raging shouts in the forest.How long had we been out? The ball of desire in my groin tightened when Elena moaned in her sleep, pushing her naked body harder against mine where she had tucked herself into my side.The breath hitched in my throat when I glanced around the dimly lit room, yellowed by the sun that steadily rose over the horizon and fell in slants through the high curtains of the windowed room.The soft sound of her breathing was like a bucket of ice water to my raging chest and I brushed my knuckles over her high, porcelain cheekbones, unable to resist the bond of attraction between us.“Elena?” I whispered, pressing a kiss to her lips before stretching to my feet and watching her screw her eyes open with a deep groan.“Michael? Are you leaving already? At least st

    ELENA WOLFEEvery nerve in my body felt like it was a ticking time bomb as I paced up and down the length of the cabin living room.How long had the rogue been away?I was sick and tired of staring at walls and talking to myself all day! Even the handmaiden Michael had brought pissed me off!She wasn't Emily. She didn't understand.“Fuck this, I can't take this shit anymore!” I hissed, snapping on my purple night slip and slithering through the front door, aware that the eyes of every soldier in the foyer had turned to me.My hands shook before I fisted them in my dress, keeping my head up and marching determinedly toward the thick bamboo gates, daring any one of them to stop me.“Your Grace-” One of the soldiers attempted before I cut him off, whirling to face his ruddy square face with a self-righteous snort.I hated that I was acting like the bitchy Queen. That was Carla’s thing, and yet, my wolf demanded an escape.I couldn't just sit still.“The rogue has demanded we keep you ins

    ANTHONY GOTHAMThe trip to the other allying packs was not going well, and the sun had set well over the line of the horizon when we reached the black, ominous mass of slender trees.“This is bad Anthony, damned near all of our allies have defected to Cove. What the fuck is Alaric even giving them? That beast has nothing to offer but pain and more fucking suffering!” Fedora hissed, her black eyes flashing between the cloth mask she wrapped around her face as our horses trotted around the dirt path.I hadn't wanted to think about it, but the woman was right. There were only so many traitors I could kill.Alaric Wolfe’s army was growing too darn close to Gotham and I didn't like it in the least bit.“Power. Isn't it obvious? Every mutt in Wolf County has blood lust the size of the fucking Atlantic!” I spat acidly, raising a hand to stop the march when my ears flexed on the quiet rustling sound coming only a few feet away from us.“Torches out!” I rasped through my teeth and the guard's

    Michael GothamMy heart was a bloody dynamite in my chest as I skulked through the dark woods with the rogue’s letter in my hands, cursing softly when yet another twig branch snapped under my boot.This was what I got for being a three hundred pound brick wall of flesh and muscle. I couldn't go anywhere without being heard unless I was shifted into my wolf, and then I would be leaving my scent for anyone who cared to follow.I glanced down at the letter again and my heart gave a violent start inside me.“You have to hurry back to the base Michael, the Queen is acting crazy. Someone’s been stalking the cabin grounds and she’s in recovery-” I read again with nothing short of a growl before I fisted the paper in my hands.It didn't make any fucking sense! I was gone one night and the rogue couldn't even follow instructions!Sometimes I thought the little shit was only good at killing! What good did Anthony ever see in him anyway?!“Hello?!” The woman’s voice had caught me so off-guard th

    ELENA WOLFEThe feel of a large hand brushing over my lips in the darkness made me snap my eyes open.My heart hammered wildly inside me when I met Michael’s wild blue eyes in the dark, hushing me.“Mnghhh,” A moan escaped my throat before I thought to close my teeth around the sound and his eyes grew even wider, hands digging into my mouth until it hurt.What the hell was happening?! The sound of a moan below us made my ears ring in the uneasy silence that filled the room before I shoved him off me, watching as he stumbled back, lifting me in his arms in one swift motion.“Don't breathe a word, Lei,” He rasped, hurriedly throwing on his shirt over the delectable porcelain flesh that rippled in the waning light of the fireplace.“What's happening Michael? You’re fucking scaring me!” I hissed in a shaky voice, but his crystal blue eyes scanned the horizon as he hastily chugged down the large canister of blood in the wine rack, wiping at his lips with the back of his hands and looking e

Elena’s still inside!” Markov roared from somewhere around me and I turned to catch sight of his wolf, talk and lithe, tearing the beast’s that surged toward him like he was breaking bread.What a fucking badass! “Shit.” I spat, realization dawning on me as I tried to make my way over to the orange boom of the cabin in the distance before another explosion rocked me off my feet.A cloud of dirt and smoke billowed in the air and my heart sank as more of the Cove wolves ran at us, their haunting snarls and snapping teeth like hell’s very orchestra.Where the hell were they coming from?! What the heck was taking Anthony so long?!I cursed t the stampede of foaming beasts that tore through the human shield I had formed around the cabin, the sounds of swords clashing rousing me f

I couldn't let them win!“Leave the woman out of this Alaric, and I'll give you whatever else you want,” Anthony growled, holding out his hands as if begging the monsters to be reasonable.“Even Gotham?” Alfred gloated, the hand holding the knife against my throat tensing just in the slightest.Was that what this was about? Anthony’s throne?! My eyes widened when I realized Anthony was on the verge of giving in. Damning his people to death because of me.I couldn't let that happen! My brain scrambled with thoughts and my mouth flew open before I could stop myself.“How could you even betray your own family Alfred? And all that to suck on Alaric’s cock? Have you no dignity?” I spat, trying to ignore the metallic taste of the blood seeping through my teeth as the beast roared, his hot claws tightening around my neck as he pressed

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

    ANTHONY GOTHAM“God I've missed you so fucking much-” I growled, groaning as pleasure shot through my body and goosebumps skittered over the bulk of my arms where I had pinned her hands against the wide wood bed frame.Elena’s porcelain face contorted in pleasure and pain as I nibbled at her lips, plunging deeper into her pussy and forcing back a shiver when she flexed around my cock.“I've missed you too Anthony…I thought…FUCK! 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.
