Slight Changes

2024-01-12 12:02:12As my story has developed, I have added in a Fae language. Since the story lines follow ancient Greek gods and goddesses, I have used ancient Greek for the Fae language and Latin for witch's spells. I might as well put all those high school Latin lessons to use. Truth be told, I love languages, especially my own native language, Māori. I did think of adding that into the story line as the Fae language, but I didn't think it fitted as well as Ancient Greek.
The thing with all languages is the dialects that every language has, including English. For starters, I speak New Zealand English, which has idioms that might not make sense to Americans, and vice versa. I have tried to be as consistent as possible with the ancient Greek dialects, but there may be cross-overs.In chapter 5, I have updated it slightly and added a few lines of dialogue.The words: Ō basílissa are pronouned oh bah-SEE-lis-sah. The emphasis is on the SEE.The sentence: Laleîte tēn koinḕn glôssan toû Gēs Vasíleio is pronounced lah-LEH-ee-teh teen KOY-nen GLOH-ssan too GAYS Vah-see-LAY-on. The emphasis is on LEH, KOY, GLOH, GAYS and LAY.
I have added translations as part of the story since none of the Wolf-Shifters speak Fae yet. Where there is no full translation, I will add it into Note Chapters along with pronunciations.
Also, I had intended to publish every day for the month of January since that is our summer holidays down here in the Southern Hemisphere, but I forgot a day, so sorry for that.

Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 3: The Love Of A Beta - Ch. 10 Sealing the Bond Part 1
Tyler's Point of ViewAfter Duan had stormed out of the throne room, all of us followed the Fae Queen out into her private courtyard. It was just as I imagined a magical courtyard to be, even with the butterflies who were, in fact, little fairies. We sat down next to a little pond on ornately carved stone benches while being served some sweet cakes and drinks.It was interesting listening to how Lycans came to exist. Since the first Lycan was created from a wolf-shifter and Fae, I wondered if Avril and my children would possibly turn into Lycans. I asked Queen Aurora if that would be the case with Avril and me, but she assured me it wouldn't. Her grandchild was fated to be the first Lycan and king.We were also introduced to Queen Aurora's son and daughter-in-law, whose eldest child was the first Lycan. They were Adriana's great-great-great-great-grandparents. When Avril and I were officially mated, he would be my brother-in-law. Did that make me Adriana's great-something uncle?While

Tyler's Point of ViewI couldn't believe it. Avril wanted to mate with me and would let me mark her. We were going to be fully mated. Echo was jumping around inside my head in absolute excitement."Are you sure?" I asked her, worried she didn't fully understand what marking entailed. "Once we mate and mark, there's no turning back. It is permanent, and the bond can not be broken. Even rejection doesn’t work.""I'm sure," she said, nodding. "I have always wanted to find my true fated mate. Unfortunately, worry for my mother and the possibility of forces working against her, led me to prematurely become betrothed to a man I neither respect or love. Thankfully, my mother made sure that the fated mate clause was part of the contract. I have no doubts where you are concerned. Neither Selene the Moon Goddess, nor her brother Helios the God of Light, would fate me to someone so wrong for me. Let's seal our bond."With that, I leaned in, kissing her. At first, her mouth was closed, so I ran m

Adriana's Point of View In the quiet grove, bathed in the soft glow of filtered sunlight, Adriana stood with Thorn and Daemon. Thorn's mate, Ariana, had left us a while ago, leaving just the three of us. Daemon would also be training with me, but at this stage, he was observing. Thorn made us sit down on the glass. A whispering breeze carrying the promise of hidden secrets. My heart raced with anticipation as I sought to unlock the dormant magic within. "Place your hands flat out on the ground," Thorn advised. "Now, I want you to empty your mind." The last part of that was hard. I had never meditated before and wasn't sure how to empty my mind. "Focus on your breathing," Thorn said. This was much easier to do than trying to empty something that never stopped thinking. Closing my eyes, I slowly breathed in through my nose, allowing my diaphragm to expand down. Then, just as slowly, I breathed out through my mouth, pushing my diaphragm back up. My fingertips started tingling wher

Thorn, Ariana, Adriana and I ate a leisurely late lunch while chatting. We talked about everything and nothing. With all the training I underwent to become Alpha, there hadn't been time for random chatter since I became a teenager. I wasn't used to this kind of chatter but found myself enjoying it immensely. "Right, young Daemon," declared Thorn, "you are next." Like Adriana, Thorn made me sit on the grass with my hands flat upon the ground. Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath, attempting to quiet the chaos within. The gentle rustling of leaves and the distant song of a bird-filled my ears. Inhaling the crisp air, I focused on grounding myself. As Thorn guided me through the meditation, I envisioned roots extending from my fingertips, burrowing into the earth below. It took time, but gradually, I felt a subtle shift. A warmth surged through me, a connection to the earth's energy. Opening my eyes, I saw Thorn nod approvingly. The others grinned, recognizing the milestone. The elem

Daemon's Point of ViewDuan and Neri walked past our hiding place. Thankfully, they didn't have our senses to detect us. As soon as they had passed, Adriana and I slipped out and headed upstairs. Once safely inside our room, we found Tyler and Avril already waiting. If I couldn't see Tyler's mark on Avril's neck, I would have already known they were marked based on their combined scents."Congratulations," gushed Adriana, beating me by a mere second."Welcome to our pack family, although you were already family before. It is good to have you in our pack," I said, hoping that Avril would actually join our pack.She wouldn't be able to mind-link with us unless she did, but that was an issue for a later time.Once we filled them in on the disturbing conversation we had overheard between Duan and Neri, the tension in the air was palpable. Tyler's expression darkened, his wolfish instincts taking over. On the other hand, Avril looked pale, realising the gravity of the situation."So they w

Avril's Point of ViewI knew my mother had organised a state dinner with all the nobles. After all, it was to be expected when visiting royals come and stay with us. Despite Adriana being part of our family, she and Daemon were still visiting royals, so diplomacy had to happen. The nobles expected it.As the daughter of the Queen, I was obligated to attend. However, I wasn't particularly thrilled about it. I never enjoyed these formal events, where everyone was expected to put on a show of manners and politeness. Neither did my eldest brother or his mate. At least this time, I would have my mate by my side."Unfortunately, Duan and Neri will be there as they are considered nobility," I reminded everyone. "I am not sure if they will cause a problem.""Not being able to mind-link with every one of us could be a problem," Daemon stated. "What if you were to be inducted into our pack? That way, you can mind-link any member of our pack, including Adriana and myself."At this point, Adrian

Avril's Point of ViewIt wasn't long before Duan and Neri arrived, and I clutched Tyler's hand hard. He looked up to see what had caused my reaction."I will stay by your side all night," he mind-linked me.I gave him a smile as thanks, and I did my best to ignore Duan and Neri. Hopefully, I gave no indication of my true feelings. I had been expecting them to turn up but secretly wished they wouldn't.I wanted nothing to do with them, hoping they wouldn't cause any trouble during the dinner. We all sat down at the table, with my mother at the head. On her right-hand side was Alise, a male I had not met before, Thorn, and his mate Ariana, while on the other side were Daemon, Adriana, Tyler and myself.I was intrigued by the man sitting next to Alise. Our mother introduced him as Alastair, but that was all she said. Obviously, he was her date, but I wondered if he was more than that. He was definitely Fae, given his features.Alastair was tall and lithe like most Fae men. They were dece

Sometimes a story takes a turn that you weren't expecting as an author. I had my story loosely planned, and I knew there would be a problem that would happen and need resolving. I just didn't expect it to happen the way it did. It was like Adriana and Daemon were heading to their room, and suddenly Duan and Neri were there. What can I say? I was definitely surprised. However, I am happy it happened that way. I find that it makes a lot of sense and adds to the initially planned problem. Alise and Alastair's relationship will develop over the course of the book, but as of yet, I don't expect there to be a detailed story for them.

Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Chapter 8 Making a Change Part 2
Marc's' Point of ViewAfter training, I followed up on my mind link to Cole and gathered the younger members, including those who had looked hopeful during Cole's speech. Since none were warriors, I had to mind-link them to return to meet me in the training hall.When they arrived, the hall buzzed with nervous energy as they exchanged glances. It took patience and a lot of careful words, but eventually, they opened up. Beatrice and her posse left a lasting mark on this group, which was mainly composed of young teenage females. I could see the instilled fear and self-doubt. Many shifted uncomfortably, casting wary glances around as they finally shared their stories, revealing the extent of Beatrice's manipulation and cruelty."It's true," one of the younger females, Mallory, said, her voice barely above a whisper. Her eyes darted around the group before landing on me with a mix of fear and relief. "Beatrice and Michaela… they make life difficult for anyone they disapprove of, especiall
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 4: The Gamma And Her Twin Alphas - Chapter 7 Making a Change Part 1
Cole's Point of ViewFirst thing in the morning, we sought out Danielle's mother, Stephanie. "We found our mate last night, and she is friends with Danielle," said Marc."Congratulations," she answered. "Danielle stayed with her friends last night. Which one of her friends is your mate?""Her name is Lucienne," I gushed.Raising her left eyebrow, she warned, "You will have a strong Luna indeed. Be prepared for changes. She is not one to mince words, and there are some things that happen around here she will not like. She has a high moral compass."Good. I wasn't worried because things needed to change around here.After breakfast, as the warriors and many other pack members who were training with them gathered for a routine training session, I took the opportunity to address them. The non-warrior pack members would also include many females, although it wasn't compulsory for them to train, as it was for the men.The decision to integrate females into training had been our idea and had
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 4: The Gamma And Her Twin Alphas - Chapter 6 For the Pack's Future
Marc's Point of ViewAs I watched Lucienne stride out of the club, her every step brimming with authority, I felt like a force of nature had passed through. She was fierce, with a powerful presence that was impossible to ignore. The way she stood up to us, unyielding—that kind of strength was rare. And beneath it all, she was breathtaking, her beauty undeniable even as her words cut sharp.Cole stood beside me, his gaze fixed on the empty doorway Lucienne had just walked through. His jaw was tense as if he were trying to hold back the swell of emotion that had overtaken him. He swallowed, a flicker of something like awe passing over his features, and then he finally spoke, his voice low and almost reverent. "Our mate… she's incredible." He ran a hand over his face as if trying to piece together what he'd just witnessed. "I mean, I always imagined my mate would be strong, but Lucienne… she's beyond anything I could've pictured."He turned to me, his eyes searching mine as if hoping I'd
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 4: The Gamma And Her Twin Alphas - Chapter 5 What to do?
Lucienne's Point of ViewOur parents had finally arrived. They were staying on the same floor but in a different suite further down the hallway. No doubt, members of their entourage would be either in the same suite or next door.Cedric and I left Aaron with Danielle in case she woke up and wanted to know where we were. I could hear the soft rustle of her breathing, gentle and rhythmic, with an occasional deeper inhalation. Her heart resonated faintly, a steady thrum. Listening to someone sleeping was like tuning in to a delicate symphony of subtle noises. As we stepped into the suite, I could see it was set out and decorated like ours. The living area was spacious, featuring an oversized sectional couch adorned with plush pillows, perfectly arranged around a glass coffee table gleaming under a stylish chandelier's light. I could see my parents, Queen Adriana and King Daemon, seated together on one of the sofas, their regal presence commanding the room. My mother radiated grace, her

Lucienne's Point of View"Enough!" I bellowed. The room went silent as I let my Alpha aura ripple out, filling the space. The banshee's sneer disappeared, replaced by shock and fear as she and Eric fell to their knees under the weight of my command.My Alpha aura was so intense that it made my mother and father bow down under its weight. This was one of the reasons my brother offered me the crown. At a young age, I accepted that Cedric, as the firstborn, would be the Lycan King. I was happy with that. I might have been stronger and faster, but I loved him so much that I would protect him."I don't know who the fuck you think you are, but I don't. Tolerate. Bullies," I said coldly, my voice sharp and steady. "Don't you ever touch anyone I care about again!""Her name is Beatrice," Danielle said quietly. "She is the daughter of Luna Elizabeth."I don't give a fuck who she is," I answered. "As I said… I don't tolerate bullies, especially when they hurt someone who is like family to me and
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 4: The Gamma And Her Twin Alphas - Chapter 4 You have work to do!
Lucienne's Point of View"Everyone else knew," Eric said, admitting there was a problem in the pack that the twins knew nothing about.Evidently, their future roles as Alphas required more than physical strength or inherited titles—they demanded awareness, responsibility, and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. These future Alphas looked totally clueless, and if they were to lead properly, they needed to step up and quickly."Before we go any further, which one of you is Marc and which of you is Cole?" I asked, my eyes narrowing as I studied them closely. They were almost identical, but there were differences. I also realised they didn't know my name, so I introduced myself. I didn't mention any titles, just my first name.They shared the same towering height at over 200 centimetres, broad shoulders, and olive-toned skin that hinted at Mediterranean heritage. Their dark brown hair was styled similarly, yet subtle variations set them apart. Marc stood just a touch taller, t
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 4: The Gamma And Her Twin Alphas - Chapter 2 Arrival at Howlers
Lucienne's Point of ViewArriving at the Howling Moon Pack should have been an uncomplicated affair. The plan was straightforward: we would gather at a shifter nightclub just on the edge of the pack's territory. It was our friend Danielle's eighteenth birthday—a momentous occasion to be celebrated with the companionship of cherished friends. Hopefully, she would find her mate, making it even better.After the celebrations, we were to cross into the pack lands alongside my parents. Once inside, I would be assessing the pack's warriors and their skills. I envisioned a couple of carefree days filled with camaraderie and laughter, reconnecting with friends amidst the rugged, blue-tinged mountains that cradled the pack.However, experience had taught me that simplicity was often an illusion in our world, and as I would soon discover, the weekend held surprises that could shift everything in ways I hadn't anticipated.There was also Mason, son of Beta-Prince Tyler and Princess Avril, and Ka
Hidden Legacy (The Lost Luna) Book 4: The Gamma And Her Twin Alphas - Chapter 1 Legacy of a Warrior
Lucienne's Point of ViewI stood at the edge of the training grounds, my gaze riveted to the towering figures locked in intense sparring at the heart of the clearing. The air was thick with the sounds of grunting and the sharp thud of bodies colliding, each strike resonating with a raw energy that sent a thrill through me.As the sun dipped lower on the horizon, the long shadows of the combatants stretched dramatically across the parched earth, their silhouettes stretching and twisting like dark, animated shapes in the fading light. The fiery hues of dusk bathed the scene in a warm, golden glow, casting a magical atmosphere that ignited a fierce determination within me.I felt a surge of emotions rising to the surface—an unexpected mix of admiration, longing, and an aching desire to join their ranks and push beyond my limits. Each movement they made displayed skill and a testament to the relentless quest for strength and mastery that stirred something deep within my soul.I'd spent ye
