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
Michael GothamMy vision was a whirling mass of red as I sawed through the deformed hounds like a fucking carousel, swinging my sword in perfect arcs with enough force to cut through the herd.“The cabin Michael! 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
Elena WolfeThe air in the field was so thick you could have cut through it with a knife.Alfred and Alaric had all the power now. I couldn't let that happen. 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
Anthony GothamTime seemed to pass in a blur as Gotham rebuilt its walls and more of the recruited soldiers arrived in troops.The infirmaries were filled with half-dead men wrapped in bandages and the smell of lemon tonics and rosemary herbs hung thickly in the air.“What the hell is this Anthony? How could you let this happen?” Wolverine Silver roared before lowering his tone to hiss at me when the nursemaids shushed him loudly.My fingers slithered through my hair before I could stop myself and I groaned heavily.What the hell was I supposed to say to the pack? I needed to make an official statement on why their Luna was back and worse still, hand-in-hand with the very rogue who was rumored to have kidnapped her.This shit was not ideal in the least bit!“We’re working on new training Wolverine, I've sent scouts to request more nursemaids for our men and wounded. I've commissioned new canons for the gates in case Alaric dear bumps up for another fight. Gotham is safe.” I growled, b
ALPHA ALARIC WOLFE My entire body felt like liquid dynamite as I bounded on my hands and feet through the thick veins of trees.If we could just get to the giant stone walls in the distance that seemed to stand out eerily against the swatches of red and black on the horizon…“Faster! We’re almost at the towers!” I roared at my men over my shoulder, cat thing a glimpse of the rogue’s pale face through the trees as he clawed down more of my beasts.I ground my teeth and dug my hind legs harder into the dirt, leaping over the walls easily with my powers and ordering the canons to fire at Gotham’s wolves chasing us down.They thought they were so fucking tough, didn't they? “Shut the gates! Raise the drawbridge!” I roared at the wolves scrambling up the gothic brick walls of Cove Castle.The rush of blood in my veins was scorching as I scanned the run-down foyer for signs of the large black wolf, when he stumbled into my back, forcing me to gritty back a snarl.“Y-Your Majesty- that wen
ELENA WOLFEMy mouth opened and closed wordlessly before Anthony’s hard body brushed past me without another word.Heat and electricity exploded on my skin where he had brushed against me and I choked back a gasp, my knees giving way just as the rogue’s hands slipped around my arms.“It's okay Lee, fucking hell, I'll give that arrogant bastard a piece of my mind-” He growled, his hold tightening around my rounded shoulders before I shoved against his chest and shook my head violently, stopping him.“No! Please! No…I’m fine, it's not…he’s right,” I stammered, swiping desperately at the tears that streamed down my face before Markov leaned down to meet my eyes, his cool breath making goosebumps tingle on my face.“No. It's not alright Elena. Go in there, stay with Michael. I'll talk to Anthony. Alright?” The rogue deadpanned in a voice that brooded no argument and I nodded quietly as he squeezed me again before brushing past.The guards stood still on the door posts as I hesitated in fr
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! Alfred? “Are you okay Carla? Bloody hell, what the fuck were you thinking coming up here by this time?” I roared, cuppin
Carla WinehouseMy belly felt like a volcano pit about to erupt as I glared down at the dark-haired woman who watched me back with a stony expression on her face.“You are not allowed in my chambers, Carla Winehouse, how many times do I have to say it for it to get through to your thick skull-” Elena spat acidly, her bright grey eyes narrowing dangerously as I fought to keep the shock from showing on my face.My heart started its harsh mechanical grinding in my chest and it was all I could do to keep from leaping at her.Who the hell did she think she was?I stalked toward her slowly, waiting until I was only inches from her stupid perfect face to snap my claws around her neck, surprised when her hands shot up to squeeze my arms.“Just because you’ve been away for however long you have Elena, doesn't mean that anything’s changed in this palace,” I growled, tightening my claws around her neck before flicking her wrist away when she beat at my chest and shoved her into the wall.The rag
Michael GothamMy mouth tasted like a rat had curled up and died in it when I came to.“Michael? 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
ELENA GOTHAM“M-Michael?” I gasped breathlessly, inching hesitantly toward his cold face before I saw his lips twitch and I shot across the room like a freight train from hell.“Careful Elena! 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
ELENA GOTHAMThe soft chirping of the birds outside made a smile spread across my lips before I screwed my eyes open with a lazy yawn.The sun fell in yellow slants through the thick grey floor-length curtains and I allowed myself a contented squeal.My entire body felt pleasantly sore and I pressed my fingers to my lips as memories of Anthony and me last night flashed through my mind.I had never imagined my little seduction would work so well with a baby between us and my body throbbed as the memory of his need and longing washed over me again.I wasn't going to lose Anthony now or let that Carla wench play her silly little games in Gotham anymore.“Emily!” I screamed, yawning as I shuffled out of bed to splash cold water on my face, eyeing my straight black hair that parted around a slender oval face in the mirror.My breath caught in my throat when I saw how swollen my lips were from my husband’s kisses and heat fanned up my neck to my cheeks.The muted sounds of soldiers parading
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
ANTHONY GOTHAMI charged into the room faster than a freight train going off the rails when Elena’s scream tore through the palace.“What the hell?” Markov hissed, wide grey eyes swinging to face me before we both shot off.“Shit,” I hissed, my heart thumping with every step.Was Elena hurt? 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. What the hell was she doing? I didn't like admitting that seeing her so heartbroken scared me, and c
