Thank you for reading! Tomorrow updates may be late as I have a few appointments during the day :)
EVANGELINE. Celia! That isn’t who I was expecting to face off against. I don’t know why, but I didn’t think we would actually meet in this challenge. The weather is cold, with winter approaching the evenings usually are. Ice clings to the ground, sparkling under the bright lights that cover the grounds. I look at her as she tosses her hair and shows off a little, blowing a few kisses to the crowds. I know I won’t make it to the final round of the fights, but if I could somehow make it to the next round… It would help Zedkiel’s excellent score. I want to contribute to his success too. I don’t want to simply be a burden or be someone to ruin his score. I want to be deserving of him, unlike the rest of the competitors - he had me, someone who is useless in comparison to the well-seasoned fighters the rest of them are. I can see it too. There’s me with my extra meat and them with their abs and muscles…. Seeing her standing there in that hot pink sports bra with matching shorts, I rea
EVANGELINE. I’m disappointing him… ‘Yes, you are disappointing him. Let me take over. I’ll rip that bitch to shreds. If you weren’t so useless, she wouldn’t have gotten so free!’ Evelyn hisses. My eyes prickle with tears, but I refuse to let them fall. Celia chuckles. “Awe, are you going to cry? Evangeline the crybaby.” She sneers. “Can’t take a few punches.” I’m not crying because of that, I’m not a crybaby! I’m failing him. I am useless. I can’t think like that. I have to do better! “Now, to put you down like Alpha Aeron should have the night they found you!” Celia sneers. “Useless Omega, and now I’ll show you your place… Beneath me!” Her voice grows louder, and I turn my head to see her blurry figure stalking toward me. I grab her foot, and her eyes widen. Yanking it hard as I roll over, I bring her toppling down; she lets out a surprised shriek, but I’ve had enough. Getting to my feet, Celia does at the same time; she swings at me, but I block it. She’s getting angrier, a
ZEDKIEL. ‘I love you.’ The words echo in my mind as she flings her arms around my neck, and I capture her lips in a kiss. The crowd's cheering blurs away and all I see, feel, and smell is her. She’s everything… There’s something unexplainable about having someone fucking love you for you. Her words replay in my mind a thousand damn times. She loves a monster who isn’t worth loving, can this even be real? Does she want to stay by my side, the way I want her to stay? I wasn’t meant to be Luna… I was meant to be Queen… her words come back to me Will she stay? Imagining a future with her… to wake up every day to her, to fall asleep every night to her… I don’t know what to say. I don’t know how to tell her that I feel the same, so all I do is kiss her like it’s the first and last fucking time. Pleasure rushes through me and as much as I know we have things to deal with, there’s nothing more I want to do to her than fuck her senseless. I keep kissing her as I carry her away. The momen
EVANGELINE. Zedkiel reaches up and switches the shower off before grabbing a towel and lightly towelling my hair. I look up at him, watching his emotionless face. His face is as sharp and cold as always, and his eyes are hard but… there’s so much more to him than he gives away… I don’t miss the way he rubs my hair tenderly, his fingers brushing the stray strands back before he slowly towels my body dry. He pats the towel lightly over my injuries that are almost gone, somehow, I’m healing fast. He brushes his fingers over them, his eyes flashing red before he moves away. I observe him, and although he hasn’t said anything since I confessed, he doesn’t need to… That kiss he gave me, said far more than words ever could. The way he took care of me… Everything he has done for me, openly, vocally, and silently. They all mean so much more. I step closer, my gaze dipping to the soaking pants that now cling to him and emphasise a certain part of him that makes my stomach flutter. “Are you
EVANGELINE. Isabella… “Hi nice to meet you, Isa, I’m Evangeline.” I reply politely, taking her hand. She gives it a firm shake before turning to Zedkiel and Kash, who are quietly exchanging words. “… too long. Make sure we’re covered.” Zed’s saying as he pulls off his shirt and takes another that Kash gives him. I can’t help but notice Isa watching him. Zed pulls the shirt on and sprays something over himself and within seconds his scent begins to fade away. Kash nods passing him a moderate-sized backpack just as Isa puts some music on. “Here’s the phone.” Kash says quietly. I watch them hoping we aren’t caught, because if we are and with a phone… we can get into big trouble and get eliminated from the tournament. “Is that wise?” I ask, glancing between them. “No one is going to say a word. It’ll be fine.” Kash says. He looks a little pale and I feel uneasy. I know Zedkiel trusts him, but does he also trust this Isabella? She’s looking at Zedkiel now, her head tilted and I try
ZEDKIEL. I grip her hand as I scan the cave before me, it’s exactly the same as the last time I was here… Its s cold that it’s biting into me, and I can feel her hand getting colder in my hold too. Her body temperature is dropping faster than is humanely possible. The sound of our beating hearts and the water in the lake is all that can be heard down here. We walk across the rocky, jagged ground and for a moment I mull over if we should have taken the bath that is customary before entering this place… Well, too fucking late now. I can feel it, the intense pulsating of power around us as we approach the lake. Do I slice my hand as we do for the ritual? “It’s freezing.” Evangeline says and I look down at her. Her breath is coming out in visible puffs but the fact she is able to stand here and not be affected when people have died trying to enter this place is impressive, but I’m not surprised. She’s more than the average werewolf, which is why it's only royals that can enter… beca
EVANGELINE. I watch him with my heart racing, praying and hoping he agrees to shed some light on all that has happened. He doesn’t respond to my coaxing for him to complete his unspoken sentence as he begins pacing on the other side of the river. I have to try to fix this. We won’t get the chance to come here again and right now, Evelyn is screaming to be released. I’m struggling to hold her back, but my own determination is winning, for now. “I will say nothing.” Raziel growls menacingly as he glares at us. “I made my move, my choice, and with it resigned myself to a life of emptiness on earth. Only when all comes to an end will I see some reprieve…” He looks towards the largest crack in the cave's ceiling, the faint glimmer of the moon seeping through and I frown as I realise what it means. He wants to see this world end… “Fine… then tell me, how did this chamber become a place where all Lycans come to pay respect to you? You hate the Lycan’s… correct?” His huge head turns to
ZEDKIEL. She tastes divine. The feel of her lips against mine is an addiction, something that keeps pulling me for more. Her jealousy only adds to how hot she looks. I like seeing her voice whatever bothers her and even more when it’s her possessiveness of me. Knowing that its her staking her claim satisfies me. I kiss her hard, ravishing her mouth with my tongue as I rip off whatever item of clothing she’s wearing from her perfect body. She gasps when her breasts are free of their confinements. Moving back, I tear her pants off too, appreciating her ass in those tiny panties before they too are gone, leaving her lying there entirely naked, an image of perfection. I grab her breasts, enjoying the feel of her large, firm breasts in my hand, her nipples already hard as she sighs with pleasure. The urge to taste her blood is calling me… It can be pleasurable if she allows me to, even if it is fucking taboo… “Tell me Beautiful… do you trust me?” I ask, breaking away from her lips as I
Hello everyone! First of all, I want to say thank you for sticking by me through a pretty hectic time in my life, I’m hoping things do get better going forward, the last week has been a little easier and I’m hoping it stays like this!

Thank you so much! - Now, onto what’s next and what’s going on with my books. For this series the next book will be about Evelyn, I think we can all agree that she deserves her own HEA, life has done her over far too many times. There is at least two more books to come in this series. The first will be Evelyn's, we just need the right Alpha to sweep her off her feet and shower her with the l
EVANGELINE. ONE YEAR LATER… “Oh my…”I say, unable to stop myself from biting my lip as I look over at my sexy naked man who has tossed aside the towel he has just dried his body with and now approaches the bed entirely naked. “If I wasn’t already pregnant, I might just end up pregnant tonight.” He sits down on the bed, a cocky smirk on his face. “I wouldn’t mind practising the art.” He says, as he pulls me on top of him. I’m halfway through my pregnancy and we’ve been told we’re having a boy. Learning about the pregnancy was bittersweet. I was happy, yet it brought back the memory of the child that was taken from us. A child I had not been able to see when I had gone to the realm, despite the ability to cross once a year, I was confined to the Palace of Moonlight. I nurture the tree of bonds before I then must return to earth. Raziel and Selene are trying to get Eshe to bring my child to the palace, but there has been no reply to any of their messages. “I wouldn’t mind that,” I
EVANGELINE. A FEW WEEKS LATER... “Thank you, your majesty.” Someone says as I steady them from tripping over their own feet. We’ve officially hosted the coronation ball for both the Vampire King and his Queen and the Alpha Queen and her Alpha King. A combined coronation and one that showed the beginning of unity between the two species. The night had gone well, and both sides had been cordial enough. It had taken place at the Moon Stone Pack, but we have begun building a castle, halfway between both territories which will be used for state affairs. Now, I think I’m ready to turn in for the night. I have talked to many and danced the night away. I gather up the white net skirt to my glittering dress as I step out into the warm night. “Alpha Queen Evangeline.” I turn to see Sinclair leaning against a pillar, alone. He’s dressed in a tux, hands in his pocket as he approaches me. “Alpha Sinclair.” I say formally. I noticed there was no sight of Celia tonight. I guess she wouldn’t w
ZEDKIEL. A week has passed since the trials and Kash and Ziahra have left. Apparently, they are going to take things easy but as far as I can tell, they are constantly making out. So irritating and disgusting to see. Jason had told Kash he is in no rush to stand down and I think that is something Kash appreciated. Although Ziahra had made it clear, she did not want him to follow her when she left, he told her he’ll accompany her and only be staying a day or so before he returns home. They may act like they have this love and hate thing going on, but I have seen she has marked him back, which says enough. I still need time to get used to the two of them being together. I know he’s trying to find Isa, but I told him he may just lead Godric to her if he tries to find her. You've got to think smart and play smarter. Last night Evangeline told me that Evelyn is leaving today, she has avoided me a lot since she has returned with her own body. It's a shame, considering I feel that we ha
ZIAHRA. I’ve been here for long enough, Mom’s ashes have been laid to rest and the trials are done. Zedkiel has a lot to do, but Evangeline needs him, so I offered to go and handle the things that can be done on his behalf. We own several lands between the vampire territory and the Moon Stone Pack, and a new home will be built where Zedkiel can handle official business, but ultimately until it’s done he will have to travel back and forth for a while. I don’t want to go… but I have to. Mom was killed by Zed’s Lycan, and although Evangeline had apologised for it, I don’t blame her, this wasn’t her fault, however, I need some time to mourn. I’m ready to take some time to accept her death. I had fought so hard for the last few years to save her, and then… in the end, she died. Just like that… It only takes moments for death to take us… no matter the length of our life span, our loved ones can still be taken in a matter of minutes. No one is invincible. But leaving meant… Kash… The
CHASYN. Night has fallen and I’m sitting on the balcony in one of the guest rooms. I have been residing here ever since everything that happened recently, unable to go to the quarters where I had spent time with Maryka. When I found her and realised she was my mate, I had been tempted to reject her, because of her link to the Night Shade pack as well, although I had no qualm with it, after all, mother was from there, but in truth, I did not want to give up on another… someone I had fallen deeply in love with. But it was never an option I was allowed to even consider. Fated mates were rare and to find mine and consider rejecting them would have been frowned upon and so I had taken her as my own, made her my Luna, marked her, and married her. But I know she didn’t like my Omegas, and I couldn’t blame her. Any man or woman would feel jealousy if their mates were with other people. Although by then, there had only been one I was addicted to but I had stopped being intimate with her to
ZEDKIEL. The day of the final few trials has arrived and those with the heaviest crimes will stand to hear their judgement today. The last few days have weighed heavily on Evangeline. It has taken longer as more people than we initially assumed had ended up playing a part in the crimes committed against the Pack and Kingdom. Some were stripped of rank, others exiled, and some were imprisoned. However, today Danciana, Maryka, Draven, Drystan, and a few of the council members will have their crimes publicly stated, and given the correct punishments that they deserve. Maryka… She had been the one to kill our father. Ragnar had been ready to kill her himself but had to be restrained. It had shaken Chasyn to the core. Yes, it had been glaringly obvious that she did play a huge part but the extent of her part in all of this was huge. She had been planning it with the traitors of the Night Shade Pack for months, and when she had figured out Jeremiah’s plan after Chasyn had refused to fi
EVANGELINE. Zedkiel is at the king’s grave, and I have decided to go visit Lucia who is still in hospital. Although she is much better, due to how badly she had been injured, the doctors want to keep an extra eye on the baby’s health and with it being common knowledge that it’s Chasyn’s the risk to her health is greater. I was paid respect by everyone I pass; I have easily become recognised as the Queen, but rumour has also travelled that I am a goddess. I do not feel like one when I can’t even save my own child. Every night, I pray and plead for our child to be returned to us, but there is never an answer and I know I will not get one either. I slow down as I reach Lucia’s room. She’s been moved into a private room by herself, and I now knock on the door and enter after she gives me permission. “Hey…” I say softly as I enter, slowly closing the door behind myself and walk over to the bed. “Hello, Evangeline.” She says smiling, she looks better today. Her bruises are all healed,
ZEDKIEL. A cool wind blows past me as I stare down at the tomb before me with a heavy heart. The funeral was yesterday for all those who passed and for our king… I stare at the engravings on the tombstone. ‘HERE LIES THE BODY OF A JUST KING, A LOVING FATHER, AND A RESPECTED ALLY. SUPREME ALPHA AMBROSE VILKAS’ Father… Four days have passed since our return and there is a lot to do and a lot that we have already done, but we all needed time to mourn those we have lost. We have suffered, and we have all lost someone that we loved. They will not be easily forgotten. I crouch down before the tombstone and look at the flowers that adorn the ground around the grave. Father… I wish I could have told you this when you were alive, but… I want you to know that I appreciated everything you did for me. For the trust, you kept in me. Thank you for treating me as a person and not as a monster… I love you, Father… I close my eyes as I allow my sorrow to wash through me. I lower my head, Maryk
