“This is unacceptable!” Austin says. “Even though rogues are not familiar with customs and traditions, it is common sense not to attack on burial grounds.”

“One of our commanders was killed.” Aric said. “It’s clear the rogues want a war.”

We were all seated with the council of advisors; Alexander hadn’t said a word since the meeting began.

The Dawn pack members would be devastated to hear about Gadiel’s death.

“I say we give them what they want; I say we go to war.” Stark says, and some nodded in approval.

“War? The rogues have the numbers, and we all know that many will die.” Seth, another of the advisors said.

“They asked for it,” Austin says.

“They hadn’t come into our lands, Alpha. The attack was at the Dawn’s Pack.” Seth said, he gave me a quick glance before looking away.

“The Dawn Pack is now part of our pack, and the attack was aimed at my Luna, my Commander, and me. But I don’t think it’s wise to go to war. I doubt the rogue leaders are aware of this attack; perhaps those rog

    ALIYA’S POVThe man standing before me was all I could think about. Sometimes he stares at me, as if trying to figure something out, then looks away. I thought about how it felt like being completely naked with Trian, alone, free.“May I ask a question?”“Of course!” I said a little too quickly. “Sorry. Yes, you may.”“Was it your first kiss?” Trian asked.I stared up at him and gave a nod. “You should have already guessed that; it’s no secret that I have never been with a man.”“Being with a man and kissing a man are two different things, Aliya.”“I liked it,” I said, shielding my face with my hair to hide the blush on my cheeks.“I can’t possibly imagine how you feel, with all your daily activities arranged out for you, so many fucking rules.”“I hate it. The more I think about it, the more I hate it, so I stopped thinking about it. I made myself believe this was home, and then it felt better, bearable even. But then I went out there, and I was reminded of all the things I’ve been m

    I knew Julia was going to pay me a visit—I had anticipated it. But as the hours passed, I began to hope I had been pardoned. That hope shattered when I awoke from my slumber to find her seated in the chair facing me.“Empress.” I acknowledged, about to rise to my feet.“There would be no need for that,” she says.I looked up to see Trian standing there, his gaze hard.“I’m so sorry; I disrespected the Empress, but I didn’t mean to.”“I hear you are tired of learning.”“I never said that.”“Are you calling her a liar?”“No… of course not. It was simply a misunderstanding.”“I’ve already been tasked with learning so many languages; I fail to see the use in learning more.” She quoted the very words I had spoken. "When I was little, I had so many questions—why did strange things always happen to me? I asked myself, why me? But as I grew older, I realized that every single ‘strange’ thing that happened was meant to push me toward my destiny.The god of light speaks, but no one knows the ex

    I walked into Julia's chambers. The soldier escorting me waited behind. “You may come in,” she called out to me, and I stepped into the private room, finding her naked. Trian stood nearby with a glass of wine, dressed only in his pants.“Hey there.” He said to me with a smirk.I couldn’t help the sudden anger I felt. I shouldn’t be angry; I should be happy that he was totally fine and I was, but he seemed a little… too fine. One would think he was one of the High Regents, given how relaxed he looked. He fit perfectly into luxury. I had been worried for no reason, but that wasn't the real cause of my anger; I knew it. I looked away from him.“You called for me, Empress.”“Yes, I did. Empress Cynthia has decided to ignore your foolishness and engage you in lessons as previously arranged. You’ll be wise not to mess this up. I might not be as merciful next time.”“Thank you for giving me another chance; I promise not to speak out of turn or disrespect her in any way.”“Of course,” she sa

    ALEXANDER’S POVIt was a risky plan, but I had always had a taste for danger.I could spot about a hundred rogues, not counting those lurking in the bushes and trees. This could either be a clever move or a very reckless one.I stepped forward, and the rogues followed. Some moved silently, slipping easily through the shadows, while others didn’t bother hiding. None of them attacked—they knew better. The deeper I went, the more of them I saw.“Alpha King.” The familiar voice belonging to Edna called.Edna was one of the rogue’s leaders.I smiled. “We meet again.”“I wasn’t expecting your visit. Brave of you to come here with no backup.”“I came to talk.”Edna smiled wide, exposing his fangs. “Of course. Come with me, you must meet the other leaders.”Edna walked ahead, and I let him lead me to the lone building standing in the middle of practically nowhere. It was a small, abandoned structure with thick wooden doors. He banged on them, and after a moment, a tiny man with huge curious e

    “Why are you really here, Alpha King?” Edna asked.“As I’ve said, I am here to talk. Your people attacked my Luna; an attack on her is an attack on the pack. I have come to you with my peace terms.”“And what if we don’t give a shit about your ‘peace terms’?” Brad asks.“What if you don’t give a shit about my ‘peace terms’?” I repeated, “Then there would be a war.”“You are here, unarmed, with no backup. We could easily kill you. Yes, you will bring many of us down, but it will be worth it.”“Brad.” Edna called, and the fool finally fell silent.“You will make sure you and your rogues stay very far from my pack and what remains of the Dawn Pack. You will hold your grudges to yourself. If any of your rogues are spotted near my borders, I'll consider it an act of war against the Nightshade pack and I can assure you, you will lose sorely.”“Rogues are untamed creatures, I cannot control where they go and where they do not.”“Then you better get to work, because it’s either my way or the

    "You've been standing here for too long; don't you want to rest? I could escort you to your room" Aric said.“Don’t treat me like that”“Like what?” Aric asked, his smile widening.“Like a… Queen. I don’t like it and no, I am not tired. But I have something more interesting in mind to do and I think now is the best time.”“Sounds like fun; I’m up for it.”“You don’t even know what I want to do.”“Anything that is ‘interesting’ to you, would most definitely be fun for me.”“I’ll be paying a visit to the Pack Quarters; I think it's also called the Outpost.” “Then I must come with you.”“No, you’ll stay here.”“Kaida. Many of the pack members are yet to see you in person; in the Outpost, some might not even know you—especially the Nightshade members and… You don’t dress like a queen—no offense, I like your choice of clothes, but you get what I mean.”“None taken. I think it is better this way; if they don’t know me, it’s easier to blend. I need to see how the Dawn members are settling w

    I came to the Pack's Quarters to check how the Dawn Pack members were settling with the change, but I hadn’t bothered with the Nightshade members who also had to adjust. They had to welcome a new Luna and Queen—one raised to fight and protect her own people—and accept new members into their pack without having any say in it.Perhaps I was being unfair.The soldiers approached cautiously."I don't want to hurt any of you; don't force me.""There doesn't have to be any kind of violence." Seth agreed. "Just come willingly; you will be placed in the dungeons, but I assure you, you will get your chance to explain your actions to the Alpha King, and he will give the final verdict.""I am your Luna and Queen; I will not be placed in the dungeons.""Then you leave us with no other choice."The soldiers surrounded me, but none of them reached for their guns, of course, they were aiming for a clean capture.I dodged a punch aimed at me and landed a kick to the soldier's knee, and he lost balanc

    I lost track of time, but I estimated it had been over two days since I had been locked down here.Alexander should have returned by now. He should have come for me, but instead, I'm left here alone, seething with fury.Perhaps the idea of me being down here entertained him; perhaps this was another fun game...My thoughts were cut off when I heard footsteps approaching.It wasn't Alexander as I had expected, it was Aric."I should have visited earlier, but a few of the council members didn't want me in here. I need to know what happened.""I killed a man." I admitted."Seth had no right to lock you down here, none of them do.""Actually they have the right. The Council is next in command after the Alpha; it's been that way for years.""Fuck the Council.""You aren't going to ask why I killed the man?""No. If he is dead, then he most likely deserved it." Aric said, and I couldn't help but smile."He did deserve it, and if time was taken back, I would have stabbed him over and again,

    "Empress," I called. But she was not alone—I noticed other empresses and high regents trailing behind her.“You were gone for quite a long time.” She said to me, “Did you really think you could run away?”“I didn’t intend on running away… All I wanted to do was explore the city.”“Explore the city?” she questioned, walking closer to me. “You are the Chosen; out there, all you would find is sinful people, ready to taint you; there is nothing out there.”“Then maybe I don’t want to be the god of light's chosen! Maybe I want to just live my life like any other girl; maybe I think this—everything, it’s all a lie.”She slapped me hard, and the sharp sting was followed by the metallic taste of blood on my tongue.“How dare you say something so blasphemous?”“I don’t take back my words. You lock me in here, day and night, forcing me to read stupid books, forcing me to learn stupid languages. If the god of light was so powerful, she shouldn’t have an issue in speaking with the common tongue.

    “Are you scared, Aliya?“No.” I lied.“I can tell when you are lying.”“I’m not.”“Another lie.”“Yes. I am scared.”“Good. You should be.”“Are you going to hurt me?”“No. I won’t. But I have another question. Have you ever touched yourself?”“No.” I answered, avoiding his gaze.“Then I’ll be the first person to make you cum.”He slowly circled a finger around my clit, and my breaths grew shallow. “Trian…”“Don’t speak. If this is to be the last night I spend with you, then it must be worth it.”The last night? What did he mean?I had no time to think about it as the pleasure consumed me. He went lower, a place no one but the Empress had ever gone. I didn't like it then, but now… I wanted it so bad. “Don’t look away, Aliya; watch as I fuck you with my fingers.”He thrust two fingers into me hard, and I cried out; he went even harder, his thrusts unrelenting. I built up quickly, hard and fast. “Train.” I warned, but he wouldn’t stop; he placed a kiss on my clit and then nibbled on it

    Ash gave me one last look—hesitant, uncertain—before he ran.“We need to leave now.” Trian said, helping me up to my feet.“Where are we going to go?”“My place,” He answered. I could tell he was angry.He pulled me along, and after twenty minutes of walking, we came to a stop before a house. I had no time to study the place before he led me inside. It looked even nicer; only the wealthy here could afford such houses.“I never knew you had a house.”“I only just got it,” he said, passing me a bottle of water. I twisted off the cap and took a drink.“I’m sorry…” I began.“Don’t. Don’t even say that. What the hell were you thinking running out of the castle all on your own? Did you even know where you were going?”“I was bored.”“Being bored is better than getting killed. There are bad people out here, Aliya; do you know what would have happened if the wrong set of people had found you? Some would have sold you for gold; others wouldn’t mind tainting you just to anger those empresses. Y

    I ran as fast as my feet could carry me away from the castle. I could only hope that while I was gone, Julia wouldn’t have a reason to check on me—because if she discovered I was missing, Then I was doomed.The city was alive as always.I headed straight to the fortune teller’s hut. Ever since my last visit, all I could think about was coming back here to ask her more questions—normal questions any girl would want to know. Questions that had nothing to do with me being a ‘chosen.’Trian believed that fortune tellers were all liars, maybe they were, maybe they weren’t.I stopped before the small, odd-looking hut with bones hanging from its door. I walked in and immediately spotted the old woman. She sat on a wooden stool directly in front of the fireplace, her eyes fixed on the fire. She muttered some foreign words before blowing a whitish powder into the flames, causing them to burn brighter.“How can I help you, girl?” She asked, without looking at me.“I came here to ask some more q

    ALIYA’S POVI heard footsteps approaching and quickly hid the book I had been reading. Empress Julia never liked seeing me with leisure novels; I doubted I was even allowed to read anything that didn’t concern my studies or my future as the god of light’s chosen.“Empress,” I addressed.“You look well,” She said, “How have your lessons with Cynthia been going?”“Very well, she is a good teacher.” I lied.Empress Cynthia’s lessons were the worst; I hated every minute and second of it. I was currently learning an ancient, ‘forgotten’ language called Sumerian. Most times, all I imagined was shoving the textbook down her throat. I couldn’t deny that there was something off-putting about her—but then again, so was every Empress in this damned city.“I don’t expect less.” Julia said. I could tell that wasn’t exactly the reason she was here, and she was getting to that part soon. “Have you seen Trian by any chance? I’ve sent a few soldiers to find him, but he seems to be out of reach.”‘How

    I didn’t exactly call for Sarah just so she could help me draw a bath.“Luna.” Sarah addressed, bowing. “The Alpha informed me that you requested my presence.”“Yes. I wanted to ask about the girl… the little one Alexander brought from the Gray Moon Pack."I caught the slight hesitation on her face before she answered. “Her name is Amanda.”“Beautiful name for a beautiful girl. How has she been recovering?”“She’s doing very well, better than I ever expected, actually. She’s blending in with the other kids, which is nice—she should be around people her age and…" Sarah kept talking. I couldn’t help but smile.“You seem to have grown a fondness for this girl.”“I… I just feel sorry for her; I want to protect her in any way I can.”“Sarah, you know you can tell me anything.” I reminded her, and she nodded.“Of course. It’s just that I don’t know if you’ll approve.”“Approve of what?”“I had taken her back to my apartment; she has been living with me—I didn’t ask for your permission; it’s

    KAIDAI should have won. I had been so close, and then he appeared out of nowhere.Alexander switched to his human form and then he…. bursted into laughter, of course he found my failure funny. “I guess it was your pride that got bruised.” he said.I transformed back to my human form too. “You are a guy, and I’m a girl—you shouldn’t be competing against me.” I said to him, and that only made him laugh harder.“I wasn’t. I wasn’t trying, and I still beat you.”“It was just luck; it won’t happen again.” I promised him; what I meant to say was I would never be foolish enough to challenge him to a race. He was not only stronger than me; he was also faster. He was better than me in everything, and that bruised my pride. “We should get back.” I turned to walk away, but in a flash he was right in front of me.“Forgotten our little bet?” he asked.Yes, that had slipped my mind; now that I think of it, I was indeed a proud fool for agreeing to it.“What would you have me do, Alpha King?”“If y

    ALEXANDER’S POVReturning from my ‘trip,’ all I wanted was to see my mate. I’d missed her, missed kissing her, but then I discovered she had been kept in the dungeons for over three nights. My own advisors had seen fit to humiliate her. It took all my will to remain calm.There were going to be changes to the Council; perhaps I never needed so many advisors after all.“The woman’s name is Helen; she does have a five-year-old child. She worked for Eamon as a sales representative.” Austin read from the file.“She was paid pennies; that’s very low for a full-time worker.” I said.“Yes, it is very far below the minimum wage.” Austin agreed.“Get in touch with this woman; make sure she’s well taken care of and established.” I said to him, and he nodded, taking the file along before walking away.I turned to the rest of my advisors; tension hung in the air. They weren’t just unsettled; they were afraid, and they were right to be.“Alpha, if I may speak…” Ronan began, but I cut him off.“No,

    I climbed up the stairs and stood right in front of my mate, Alexander."The man was not innocent..." I began, but my words were cut off as he pulled me onto his lap and kissed me. The kiss was passionate, raw, and full of need."Hush. You need not say a word."There was complete silence in the hall.Alexander rose, gently setting me down before walking over to Seth."You placed your Queen Luna and my mate in the dungeons. Who gave you that authority?"Seth fell to his knees. "I apologize. I meant her no harm...""It seems I need to set more examples, and you'll be the unlucky one I use to make them.""But I am your advisor; I have been by your side ever since you were only a boy.""I haven't forgotten that," Alex said, his claws tearing through his skin. "But you forgot your place."I watched in complete astonishment as Alex ripped Seth's head off his body and tossed it aside, the lifeless body crumpled to the floor, blood pooling around it."The soldiers who had been stupid enough
