Elena’s POVThe air in my room felt suffocating, heavy with the remnants of the strained dinner conversation. I sat on the edge of an intricately carved armchair, my mind still reeling from the unsettling exchange that had unfolded at the table. Emotions swirled within me, a tempest of distress and confusion that clouded my thoughts.A gentle knock disrupted the silence, and I hesitated before opening the door and letting Sophie inside.. She glided in, her presence a calming beacon amidst the turmoil that enveloped the room. Her serene aura offered an immediate sense of comfort."Hey, Elena," Sophie's voice, a soothing melody, echoed in the room. "I thought you might want someone to talk to."I nodded, feeling a mix of relief and trepidation at the prospect of confiding in her. Sophie settled across from me, her gentle gaze a silent invitation to share without the need for explanations."I... I just couldn't handle it," my voice trembled, betraying the weight of the evening's events.
Anthony POVThe moon loomed high above, casting its mystical light across the vast expanse of our pack's territory. We left the dinner with a bitter taste in our mouths, the evening ruined by the unsettling turn of events. My mother's presence always seemed to bring trouble, but I never expected it to affect Elena so directly. Remembering the distressing events of the morning made my blood boil, and I desperately sought a distraction from the tumultuous thoughts swirling in my mind.Walking alongside Michael, we made our way toward the heavily guarded section of the palace. We were informed that crucial information lay in the hands of the vigilant sentinels we had dispatched earlier. Urgency tinged my voice as we approached the guards stationed at the entrance, my eagerness to learn about Fitz's whereabouts evident in my inquiry."Any word on Fitz?" I asked, my voice charged with a sense of urgency. The sentinels, standing firm at their post, regarded us with a mix of solemnity and de
Micheal’s POVFADING TRUSTI relentlessly sought answers, driven by a strange mix of hatred and confusion towards Fitz. When I set my mind on something, I pursued it relentlessly. Anthony and I scoured every possible source within our pack and delved deeper into neighboring packs, making it clear to them that harboring or protecting anyone named Fitz, along with his description, would result in conflict with us. I utilized our network and resources, desperate for any clue that could uncover the mystery surrounding Fitz's actions."I need to understand what's really happening," I vented my frustration to Michael. Despite our growing determination with each passing moment, we still hadn't found any trace of Fitz.Our determined search led us through convoluted paths of rumors and whispers. As Alphas, Anthony and I spearheaded our inquiries with unwavering determination. "We can't overlook anything, Michael. Fitz being part of our pack just doesn't make sense."We delved further into our
Elena’s POVI exhaled deeply, feeling a sense of liberation as Sophie persuaded me to sneak away from the imposing splendor of the palace. Despite being shadowed by an array of guards, the choice to step out held the allure of a momentary escape from the web of complex politics and the charged atmosphere that cloaked our residence.Sophie's enthusiasm was tangible, contagious in its essence. Her laughter reverberated joyfully through the corridors as we ambled along, her playful banter with a particular guard eliciting amused glances from me. There was a distinct shift in her demeanor whenever he was around, an unspoken bond lingering beneath her teasing demeanor. It was as if a unique connection thrived in the unspoken moments between their exchanges."I see you are at it, again”, I teased, observing Sophie's mischievous grin directed at the guard she was playfully bothering.She met my gaze with a twinkle in her eyes, a secretive glint lingering in her smile. "Oh, Elena, this one's
Elena’s POVAs our leisurely stroll through the bustling streets continued, Sophie's contagious laughter remained a constant, punctuating the air with lightness and joy. Her animated exchanges with the guard injected an element of whimsy into our otherwise guarded outing. However, beneath the veil of playful banter, the guard's lingering apprehension served as a tacit reminder of the unspoken boundaries dictated by the intricate dynamics within our protective circle.The afternoon sun casting elongated shadows upon the cobblestone streets, Sophie's lively banter persisted, creating an effervescent atmosphere around us. Yet, amidst this vibrant energy, I couldn't overlook the subtle nuances in the interactions between Sophie and the guard. There was a noticeable shift—a brief glance exchanged, a shared smile that lingered momentarily—fleeting moments that hinted at a deeper connection or history I hadn't fully grasped.The dance of conversation and shared glances between Sophie and th
Elena "Fitz?", I said in unbelief, staring at the familiar face in front of me, smiling wide at me as the day and his eyes cold as death, I moved my eyes back to the floor to see Sophie's unconscious body and back to Fitz cold blooded eyes."What do you want?", my voice went into a whisper, "Just leave us alone", I saidHe laughed, he laughs out louder and louder and louder and I turning around realising the men that circled me were all wearing black and were all laughing with Fitz, I hadn’t been this terrified for a while. If they wanted to kill me why the foreplay, they should just get into it. I know I sound brave but that’s just a mask because at this moment I am terrified to death. I fell on the floor and hit Sophie to wake up but my effort were useless, I shake her profusely but she refused to wake up, she had fainted or was dead, in other word I was dead, the thought of that sent down shiver through my entire body, realising that even if I somehow survive this, Anthony and Mi
Anthony “ Yes!!!”Micheal seemed to take joy in unreasonable things like tennis court. I was been forced to watch two grown men yell and scream at them self with so much happiness because of they were playing a tennis ball. The only reason I agreed to be Michael’s wingman was because of he seemed so happy about the game for the first ten minutes until Alfred started winning him.He went on to accused me of not acting like a wingman like fedora who was screaming at the top of her voice and hyping Micheal to win and now I had to stand up from my chair and force a smile and occasionally say,"GO!, GO!! MICHEAL"My life was slowly turning into a mess as I watched the ball bouncing from one bat to another, Micheal got a few point and soon Alfred and him were in a tie."Can we end the game now?", I finally asked*we will only end it if you play one round", Fedora demand,she always knew how to manipulate us into having her way, since I knew her. When I and Michael were twenty and she was
LiesI stared at my reflection , my hair had been straightened and the gentle brush with the comb caressing my hair, Emily had a way of making me feel at rest and comfortable while catering to me but right now I couldn’t shake off the feeling and even thou, I was putting on a few fake smile at Emily’s jokes, it didn’t last for a while.The few months, I had been the palace I had brought nothing but trouble even though nobody would say anything. I knew the Alphas had gotten more outburst during these few months I was here, I knew this because I overheard the kitchen maidens talking about it and sometimes I wondered if Emily really liked me as a person or was she just been nice because she had no options, I mean I haven’t fully claimed to be the Luna but everyone in the park and neighboring pack considered me the Luna.“Are you okay?”I snapped back into reality at the sound of Emily’s voice which was thick with worry.“Yeah”, I plastered a fake smile, “ I am okay “ I said trying to c
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
