Elenas POVThe voices in my head mingled with the screams that exploded in my ears before I gasped awake, groping around the darkened room with loud sucking gasps.“Hey, hey, are you okay? What’s wrong?” Michael's deep voice came with his lips directly against my ear and I shuddered. I could feel some of the fear and tension leave my body as his hands traced the length of my skin, pushing into my hair and face until only the dull pounding of my heart remained.“You good?” He grunted, his bright blue eyes flashing with worry and desire when I turned to face him. I was suddenly aware of the way his hard body pressed into mine, his thick cock separating the crack of my ass as I sat perched on his lap.I longed to feel his length inside me again, the way he filled me completely, sending delicious tingles rocketing up and down my body.My breath caught in my throat when I felt his fingertips catch the side of my full breast, brushing lightly across my nipple and making the ripe nub harden
Elena“Get out of here Elena! Now!” Michael roared, gritting his teeth when his piercing blue eyes flashed to me before the beast raked its claws across his body, sending him flying into the wall.“Ungh!” I groaned, dragging my body away from the open doorway as the sound of soldiers and beasts colliding reached my ears. What…what the hell was happening? How was Gotham under attack?! I had always believed the pack was invincible and now this?!“It wants you ELENA! Fucking hell! GO! NOW!” Michael’s commanding roar willed my body out of its paralyzed slump just as the beast charged toward me again, letting out a bellowing howl when Michael’s claws dug into its back, ripping the hide clean off and stopping it just short of the doorway.I didn't need him to tell me twice before I turned my back, scrambling toward the windows on my hands and knees.“Please…please stop,” I whimpered, clapping my hands to my lips when the window glass exploded behind me, the shrapnels piercing my body as th
Anthony POVMy vision of the crashed apartment was bloodshot as I dug through the rubble like a crazed wolf.“ELENA?! CAN YOU HEAR ME?” I roared, cupping my paws to my lips before shaking yet another pale-faced woman loose from the rubble.“Y-Your Highness,” The cobalt-haired woman wheezed, her claws digging into my arm painlessly as she coughed out the dust, staggering into Fedora’s grip where I pushed her. It was Agatha, I recognized her as one of Carla’s loud friends and I couldn't help the disappointment that filled me.“Where the hell is she?” I roared, slamming another of the beasts that dared come too close into oblivion before hopping down from the rubble and sniffing the air.The smell of dried blood and sulfur stung my nostrils all the way up to my brain. I cringed angrily. Useless! There was no way I was going to be able to get a whiff of the woman’s scent in this chaos.“Fedora! Have the foot soldiers shut the gates and entrances! We’ll barricade the holes and cut these ba
Michael’s POVThe thump of yet another beast falling at my feet was like music to my ears as I swayed in the doorway, stumbling into the icy air of the night.My claws traced my hair, pushing the moist golden locs out of my face before I dove at one of the deformed monsters.“Get off him you sick fucks!” I roared, digging my claws into the dirty fur of a monster that had sunk its fangs into one of our guards.Blood sprayed from the beast’s open neck like a geyser before it fell to the side, dead and I moved to the next, roaring with rage at their audacity.How many decades had it been since an attack of this magnitude was launched at Gotham?! Decades! The last had seen to the death of my father and mother and I would be damned if I was going to let shit like that happen again.The loud shriek of what sounded like a whistle pierced my ears before I groaned, gritting my teeth and slashing at the monsters when some of the soldiers fell to their knees with their hands clamped over their e
Michael’s POVThe silence in the dimly lit dungeons was only broken by the tapping of water in the distance and the ragged sound of our heaving breaths.“What the fuck brother?” Anthony growled, flexing his jaw and spitting out a bloodied clump on the granite flooring as Fedora cautiously backed away from the both of us.I could feel the rage rolling off his body in waves but it did nothing to quench the tornado of emotions tearing through me.“How dare you show your face here after everything you’ve caused?!” I roared, punching him in the jaw yet again and feeling my anger double when the man barely even stumbled, only staggering back a step and watching me with cold, red-rimmed eyes.Anthony looked insane. His obsidian mass of hair fell around the sides of his angular face messily, shadowing the dull green of his eyes that seemed to be watching my every move. There were long jagged claw marks running along the length of his face, almost like some beast had slashed him across the eye
Anthony’s POVThe crack of thunder rumbled in the distance as I stared numbly at the armored woman warrior.Don't think Anthony…just act.“Search the grounds.” I hissed, finally tearing my eyes away from my brother's accusing blue eyes. I couldn't stand looking at him, his sandy blonde hair that fell over his eyes until only the slits of his crystal blue eyes showed. His full pink lips were a hard line of disdain and I could tell he was just waiting for an excuse to come at me again...not that I blamed him.Fucking hell! I hadn't been myself lately. Not with the news of Carla’s pregnancy shadowing my every thought. “Of course, Your Highness, come on Emily,” Fedora whispered, beckoning to the maid who followed her meekly before Fedora’s deep brown eyes held mine and she glanced away, her cheeks reddening as she hurried off.What the hell was that? My brother’s eyes seemed to say the same thing as he glanced between the woman soldier’s retreating back and my stunned face before he rol
Anthony’s POV“When are you going to announce our union to Gotham baby? The elders need to know that you already have a new Luna lined up for our pack.” Carla rasped in a sultry voice that made me want to puke, snapping me out of my daze.Her soft hands trailed across my back as she came up behind me, mashing her breasts against my bicep in a way that made me hate the way my groin hardened almost immediately.“When all this blows over Carla. Soon.” I hissed, lying through my teeth and trying to control the irritation that tore through me when she nibbled at my ear before I shook her off, disgusted.What the hell had I been thinking that night? I had never much fancied Carla had I? Why couldn't my wolf have at least picked someone like Fedora? With a good head on her shoulders and an equal sense of responsibility? At least we HAD a friendship.I shook my head, snapping up yet another sweaty wine bottle and uncorking it with my fangs, groaning when the sweet, icy blood coated the burnin
Elena’s POVI knew the minute I opened my eyes that something had gone very wrong.Where was I? I groaned, trying and failing to sit up as I widened my eyes in the dark room. There was white hot pain searing in the back of my head and I felt a brief haze of confusion cloud my head before memories of the war in Gotham poured in.“Oh goddess, no, no, it can't be,” I wheezed, already feeling tears pool in my eyes as I struggled through the pain, bringing my sore body to its knees before feeling my breath catch in my throat when I realized I was not alone in the dark room.The electric whirring of the blinding white lights snapping on made me shrink back, my hands flying over my face when I caught a glimpse of the towering wolf that stood only feet away from me.“Well, well, and here we were wondering if you would ever wake up, sleeping beauty.” Alpha Alaric’s deep voice made goosebumps rise on my skin.My heart started a jagged beating in my chest when I blinked back at the stars, glanci
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
