Asher and Axel shifted into their wolves and attacked the rogues, stopping them from going after Diana while Alden focused his attention on Jasper, intent on killing him.When he noticed Diana running away, Jasper laughed humorlessly. "You just made this so much easier.""What are you talking about?" Alden growled."Did you really think I would let Diana escape so easily?" He questioned, circling Alden and looking for an opening to attack. "I always get what I want Alden. No matter what."As Alden stared at him, totally confused, his gaze caught a slight movement on the right and he drew back in shock, his eyes wide opened in disbelief."Syrena?" He growled. "Hello Alden." Syrena smiled as she stepped beside Jasper. Asher and Axel stopped mid fight and stared at her, wondering what she was doing so far away from the pack."Hello Asher, Axel." She called to them, but they knew instantly that something was different about her. They could smell it."Rogue." Alden snarled. "What have th
Diana grunted as her body hit the ground. Pain shot up her shoulder and she clenched her teeth. But there was no time for her to nurse her injured shoulder. Moon was urging her to shift and run.She got up to her feet, ready to make a mad dash for it when the black wolf jumped in front of her, blocking her way."Get out of my way!" Diana yelled, boldly taking a step forward. If this was one of Jasper's rogues, she wouldn't hesitate to kill it. Afterall, she had faced them before.But to her uttermost shock, the wolf snarled back at her and shifted.Diana was beyond shocked when she saw Syrena standing before her. The blonde she-wolf glared at her venomously, but there was an arrogant smirk on her lips."Syrena." Diana said coldly. "Why am I not surprised?""Maybe because you always knew you would have to face me someday." Syrena responded in the same cold manner."What do you want?" Diana asked, then her eyes widened. "Oh no! Don't tell me you're...""You're damn right." Syrena cut he
Diana screamed as pain exploded in her face. The wound healed up instantly but the pain remained, making her lose focus for a while.Syrena grinned triumphantly. Taking Diana's distraction as an opportunity, she kicked her viciously in the stomach.Diana's body flew threw the air and crashed against a tree. Her head smashed a tree stomp and she fell unconscious.Moving swiftly, Syrena raced through the short distance and grabbed her unconscious body."Stay where you are, or I'll kill her." She ordered the triplets.Alden, Asher and Axel stopped abruptly when they saw Syrena's claws wrapped around Diana's throat. One wrong move and the crazy she-wolf would snap her neck.They didn't want to take that risk."Syrena... Don't do this." Alden warned her."You don't get to speak." Syrena snarled. "Move away. I won't repeat myself."Alden had no choice but to move backwards. Beside him, Asher and Axel boiled with rage, tempted to devour the she-wolf. But they needed to act carefully. One wro
A few days later, Diana and her mates along with Freya, arrived at the faerie's kingdom. "This is it?" Alden asked as he gazed up at the tall gates towering over them."Much larger than I thought." Asher muttered."Wow." Diana gasped, staring up at the tall shimmering golden gate. "It's magnificent.""Wait until you're inside." Freya replied with a smile. Then she moved forward and pulled out a flute from her cloak. "What's that?" Axel asked, staring at the thin creamy flute Freya held."The faerie queen gave it to me." Freya turned back briefly. "When I blow it, I will be granted entrance. She knows who you are Diana. She welcomes you.""And what about us?" Alden asked with a frown. "Does she know we're her mates? We won't leave Diana all alone in there."Freya sighed. "When I told the queen about you three, she didn't give me a reply.""What does that mean?" Asher asked next."We're about to find out." Raising the flute to her mouth, she blew into it and a light fluttering sound
"Wait! She knows what she's doing." Freya held back Soren before he could make a move towards Diana.Suddenly something large burst out from the side of the castle. A part of the jeweled wall fell out, heading towards the ground in full speed."What is she doing?" One of the faerie warriors asked angrily."She's going to kill us all." Another of the warrior spoke through gritted teeth."If you would just wait!" Freya snapped in frustration. "I told you she knows what she's doing."They watched as a large part of the wall fell towards them. But instead, it froze in the air and transformed into a flight of spiral stairs.The faeires gawked in awe and all eyes slowly turned towards Diana."How did she do that?" Soren asked unbelievably. He had never seen any creature with such powers. Even the queen couldn't do something like that.Diana smiled and turned around. "This was the only way I could think of. I can't let you use the faerie dust on my mates. We will use the stairs, for as long
The maidens took them through a series of jeweled passages until they got to a room at the north wing.One of the maidens turned and faced Diana. "This is your room my lady. As you're the queen's important guest, it is required to give you the best room in the castle."Diana smiled and thanked her. "I'm grateful to the queen for being so thoughtful.""Now, if the Alphas will come with me, I will take them to their rooms." The maiden continued and turned to go when Alden stopped her abruptly."We don't need other rooms." He said in a hard voice. "This one will do just fine.""But her majesty said...""I don't care what your queen instructed." Alden snapped. "We don't need extra rooms. And that is final."The maiden looked towards Diana, silently asking for help.Diana sighed and gently placed her hand on Alden's arm."Alden, let me handle this." She said, and then turned to the maiden. "What's your name?""Vidya." The girl replied softly."Vidya," Diana continued. "I'm sure you know th
Fireworks made from the faerie's magic exploded in the sky, filling the night with beautiful colors. The celebration of Ashidore's 1000th anniversary was beginning. The kingdom was in a festive mood and every one of the faery gathered at the heart of the kingdom, around a pool where they would pay homage to the moon goddess.Queen Astrid stood silently at the top of the castle, her turquoise eyes reflecting the bright lights in the sky. She was dressed in an exquisite dress made of the finest emerald-green material. The back of the dress flowed out behind her on the floor and her massive wings were folded carefully. She appeared to be waiting for someone.There was a soft knock and she turned around, hoping it was the person she was expecting."Enter." She ordered.Soren and Kali stepped into the throne room and Queen Astrid frowned. She wasn't expecting them."Well?" She asked sharply."Everything is in place, your majesty." Soren bowed. "The celebrations are about to begin. We awa
Standing in the midst of her mates, Diana watched the Queen make her entrance.The crowd went wild with joy when she appeared. Her wings stretched out behind her, a plumage of beautiful colors. When she ascended into the air, the sight was extraordinary. She was like a rainbow in the sky, the colors of her wings, her dress and her hair all merging to become one bright display of color.It was magical.A while later, she descended and hovered over the pond where everyone had gathered. The loud chatter died down as she began to speak."Citizens," she called out in a soft delightful voice. "It has been a great privilege serving as your queen. Millennium ago, the moon goddess blessed this kingdom and has always looked out for us. Thus, on this millennial occasion, we will give back all she had given us by honoring her."The faeries cheered loudly and more fireworks exploded beautifully in the sky. "Added to the celebration of today, we have been given the opportunity to meet a very spec
