AXEL VOSSIn the small council room, Alpha Axel sat at the head of the long council table, his fingers drumming against the arm of his chair. Deep in thought about Cavil's request, this was his only chance to genuinely do something for the Sextuplets after being absent in their lives. He’d do anything to please them, even if it seemed like total absurdity.His eyes scanned the faces of his advisors. Henri, Lord Ashfold, Kaila, the Grand Maester, and Vera Cole were all in the room. The fire crackled in the hearth."As you all know," Axel began, his voice low and commanding, "my sons and daughters have returned to the realm."Henri shifted in his seat, his brow furrowing. The Grand Maester leaned forward, while Vera Cole paled, her eyes darting nervously toward Axel. Ever since her brother Cahir declared himself an enemy to the king’s reign, her confidence in court had dropped.Either the people of the palace saw her as a failed pact for the king or a lady from a treacherous pack. How c
AVA KILLIANAva wondered why Cahir had dressed her in a regal gown, though provocatively revealing like the style Axel had made her wear during her years as his slave—his property. But it was exquisite and exuded that princessly aura.Until the throne room door creaked open where she was standing before Cahir, who sat on the throne, and she turned to see the sight that shook the world beneath her—a sight that also froze her to the spot.Ava’s heart lurched as her gaze settled on the figure dragged into the chamber. Iron shackles clamped tightly around his wrists, a brutal iron muzzle covering his mouth, and a collar that sparked with jolts of energy around his neck.She rubbed her eyes several times to make sure she was seeing correctly.She was indeed seeing correctly. She saw the Alpha King of the realm, Axel Voss—the untouchable ruler of the realm, the conqueror, the scourge of God, the embodiment of raw power—stood humbled before them, as a slave, as a captive.She felt her blood
AVA KILLIAN Ava stormed into Cahir’s study, her heart pounding with anger. The heavy wooden door slammed shut behind her as she marched forward, her fists clenched tightly by her sides. She had had enough of the stupid games Cahir was playing and she was growing restless and tired of waiting without seeing her Sextuplets, she has never been away from them this long, and it was making her go crazy already.“You have to set me free and let me see my kids! Where are they ?” Her voice was sharp and demanding, slicing through the stillness of the room. “I want out. Now.”Cahir was lounging behind his ornate desk, draped in dark leather, a goblet of wine lazily spinning in his hand. His cruel blue eyes flicked up from whatever papers he’d been reading, my and a wicked grin curled on his lips. He didn’t bother to rise or show even the slightest sign of concern. This bitch was getting on his nerves... Why would she be requesting to be out when he was just on the height and starting of his
AVA KILLIAN Ava was totally powerless as her hands were held ironclad above her head. Tears welled in her vision as she lay bare and stark naked to the insane eyes of Cahir. He watched perversely—perhaps more wild than simply a pervert, maybe insane—stroking his hardened cock to the sight of helpless, crying Ava. The sight of the hungry naked guard made his cock erect. He wanted more. He wanted them to lay bare their cocks in her sheath, every hole in her body, and wreck her—damage her. His hand wrapped perfectly around his cock as he stroked. Ava’s yelled curses and anger filled the room, causing Cahir to grab his new crossbow, fix an arrow, and point it directly at her. A maniacal laughter cut into the room, and Ava halted, seeing the sharp arrow pointed at her. Her heart thudded hard, like the wheels of a running carriage. A click of his index finger would end her life, and it would be the most tragic death imaginable. She would never forgive herself, even in the afterlife. Who
AVA KILLIAN Ava screamed, but it was drowned out by the chaos around her. This wasn’t a fight. It was a slaughter. And here Axel wasn't shifting to his wolf leaving Ava's heart racing fast in fear. He was more vulnerable in his human form. Why was he not shifting to his wolf?Axel was there knocked down by these beastly rogues, he was now covered in blood, Ava felt an excruciating pain gnawed her deep inside. Barely audible, she spoke to the moon goddess, or any god listening to her."Wake up please... Please stand up." Ava prayed and cried until the yells of the crowd was now mysteriously lost, she couldn't hear them or anything anymore, it was like the world went mute, all she could hear was the drastic breath of Axel who was far down in the pit, on the ground, unable, and the rogues prowling around him and flexing their muscles at the crowd.. Showing their dominance, and how Axel was too less of a competition for them, until she couldn't hear his heartbeat like she was before__ j
AVA KILLIAN"You can only be a spider, Cahir—you and Ava—but you can never be a wolf," he said.Ava felt a sting in her heart, and Cahir gritted his teeth in frustration. Seeing Axel taunting him down in the pit, how dare Axel call him a spider?Cahir was a wolf, and a deadly Alpha at that. He would not accept the invalidation of an Alpha King who was now a slave in his pack. Axel had no right to define who he was.Ava watched as Axel was shot with a dart needle poisoned with aconite, which temporarily weakened him and rendered him completely powerless. The cell warders were able to shackle his hands and legs and place an iron muzzle on him. Even while he was passed out, their hands trembled in fear for their lives.Axel was a monster. It was only right to fear the man who had just killed four giant rogues in less than 30 minutes.Ava observed this with a torn heart, wondering why Axel was here, in this state, without any men. No Henri... no soldiers had yet stormed the DarkSword Pack
AVA KILLIANThe guard shoved Ava forward, his hand lingering on her arm for a moment longer before stepping back.“The Alpha wants her to tend to your wounds,” the guard grunted.Ava held the wooden kit tightly as she glared at Axel. It was their closest proximity in more than six years now, his piercing eyes glowing with fury, the raw danger of his glare making her instinctively want to back down.Yet, there was something about him, even in his weakened state, that set her heart racing.Despite his battered and injured form, it did nothing to dull his hot appearance; if anything, it heightened it, stirring something deep in her that she hadn’t allowed herself to feel in years.Axel leaned back against the stone wall, noticing her reluctance. She better be reluctant. Axel was trying his hardest to calm his rage, but he still didn’t understand what gave her the audacity to approach him, let alone convince Cahir that she’d take the job of tending to him.He knew she was a sly snake, and
AT THE CAPITAL, CENTRAL POWER THE ROYAL HOUSE OF LYCANS PALACEDARCY VOSSDarcy’s heart raced with excitement as she dashed around the garden lake, her wooden sword clashing playfully with the 14-year-old squire’s. Without seeing her mother for too long, she ought to do something to cheer herself up, at least in this large extravagant palace. Enjoying exquisite and expensive things they couldn't afford back at the free city, but now they had it in abundance. But her sweet mother, Ava, was not here to enjoy it with them.She'd hoped that her father would bring mom back. He's been gone for some days now, and she just had to do something fun while waiting. That’s why she asked a teenage knight squire to play sword with her by the garden lake.The sun shimmered on the water, its light dancing across the surface as if it, too, were part of their game. Darcy giggled, her small hands gripping the hilt of the wooden sword with determination. Despite being only seven, she loved the thrill of s
AVA KILLIAN“You lost! You thieving bastard, the son of a sinner whore.”Ansel cursed with a smirk, leaving Ava shocked to the bone. Before she could gather her thoughts, Cavil, who had a tough time managing his anger, struck Ansel on the face with his bow. Ansel fell to the ground with a bleeding cut and a scream.Ansel’s scream echoed through the field, sharp and pathetic, as everyone witnessed what Cavil had done to his half-brother. Blood trickled from the gash on his cheek as he writhed on the ground, his small hands clutching his face.“My son! The Crown Prince!”Kaila let out a piercing shriek, rushing to her son’s side with a flurry of panicked energy. “Ansel! My poor boy! What has this savage done to you?” she cried, cradling him in her arms as if he were gravely injured.Her voice cracked with overly exaggerated anguish as her gaze snapped toward Ava and Cavil. She quickly glanced around, making sure everyone was witnessing this—that everyone saw her son was injured by his j
AVA KILLIAN Vera pat young lord Dawn's shoulder just before the boy ran along with his peers, she stood glancing at Ava, Ava didn't age one bit since the last time she saw her at the pavilion after 6 years, Her beauty wouldn't stop irking her, it is a cheat, having the blood of the Lycans and not being able to age older in look was a cheat... This cheat she secretly envied and wished she was a Lycan Princess like Ava Killian and remain alluring as Ava. The royal archery teacher clapped his hands to gather the crowd’s attention. “We will begin the contest now. Prince Cavil and Prince Ansel, take your positions. Three shots each. The one with the most accurate and consistent aim will win. The loser will relinquish their place in this archery class.” Jared quickly pressed close to Ava, "I'm saying again.. a single order from only Ser. Henri could fix Prince Cavil in this class, you don't have to do this if he loses he'd not be allowed in." Jared said. "I've promised to make my chil
AVA KILLIAN "How about we judge by skill? Let the princes compete in archery. Whoever loses will withdraw from the archery lessons." Ava’s voice rang clear, her gaze stoic and demanding. The murmurs of the gathered nobles fell silent as eyes darted to Kaila. Kaila's face darkened, her lips curling into a tight sneer. Ava could see the storm brewing in her rival’s eyes, that flicker of rage barely contained. "What? Do you think you have a say here?" Kaila’s voice sliced through the air, hatred and resentment dripping from every word. "I am the Queen Consort, and you will remain silent when I speak!" The force of her tone would have made a weaker woman shrink, but Ava stood confident, refusing to be cowed once more, Even if she could not fight for herself when she was bullied by Kaila years ago, she could at least fight for her son's right, so to channel the mama bear power and fight for her son. Cavil is so passionate about Archery and she sees no reason why her ow
AVA KILLIAN The next morning Ava stood before the mirror in her room, the light seeping from the open winding casting on her as her fingertips traced her neck and collarbone, searching for the bruises Alpha Axel had left the previous night whist trying to force her to confess who had burnt, and who instilled that panic of fire in her.His tortures, bruises and hickeys wouldn't make her tell him anything, knowing she doesn't have enough evidences and the way he's known her as a cunning spider, he wouldn't believe her if she told him it was Kaila's doing.She would rather keep this card and use against Kaila in the future, perhaps to threaten her. Than rather wasting it by telling Alpha Axel now and she wouldn't be believed.Using it against Kaila sounds reasonable instead.She bit the inside of her cheek, willing herself not to cry, seeing the scars from the fire and the painful memory it brought back, Though Alpha Axel had ordered his royal physician to deal with all the scars, that
She was frozen in absolute shock. The scream about to escape her lips got muffled by his big, veiny hand that covered almost half of her face."You don't seem to understand me, do you?"He asked coldly as his fingers applied pressure on her cheeks.Her ocean eyes were opened wide as fear danced in them. She immediately tried to get off his lap but his free hand grabbed her thigh keeping her in place.Her frail hands came up as she attempted f to remove his hand from her mouth but he just watched her struggle. Her eyes were closed."Don't scream," He muttered and she immediately nodded her head. He slowlymoved his hand away.Aurora took in a deep breath filling her lungs to the fullest as her lips parted slowly and then she screamed at top of her lungs."HELP." He abruptly covered her mouth again rather roughly and grimaced at her.Her eyes were closed as she tried to pry his hand off her mouth."If*cking hate disobedience," He hissed lowly near her ear as he pulled her face closer.H
UneditedWhose brother? What is his mother talking about? Is he hearing wrong? Lady Voss's voice a plea and a command at once, her words both foreign and shocking. Axel stared in shock struggling to understand what he was hearing."Spare him. I Beg of you. Spare my son. He is my only first surviving son.""Sister... Your Luna is my Half- Sister Princess Amethyst." The mad king revealed to the people in the room and everyone's brows raised in shock and fear, knowing that they were dead already after the mad king revealed this huge old secret.Lady Voss of the BloodClaw, the mother of Axel Voss, The ruling bloodlines of the BloodClaw Pack was actually a Princess of the House of the Lycans all these while? The word echoed in Axel’s mind, hammering against his disbelief. He had never known, had never suspected. His mother, a princess of the House of the Lycans, the rightful heir to the realm's throne. The mad king’s older half-sister. The truth felt like another blow, crushing him u
Ava KillianAva stirred awake on the cold, unforgiving floor beside her bed, the remnants of her collapse leaving her head throbbing. The room was dim, illuminated only by the moonlight filtering through the window. Her breaths came slow and uneven as her eyes adjusted to the darkened space.And then she saw her.Kaila stood at the foot of the bed, her posture rigid, her expression carved from stone. But her eyes—burning with disgust—made Ava’s blood run cold.Ava scrambled to sit upright, her palms clammy against the floor. “What are you doing here?” she rasped, her voice still fragile from earlier.Kaila tilted her head slightly, a mockery of curiosity. “I’m here to make a deal.”Ava’s lips curled into a faint, bitter smile, her voice laced with sarcasm. “A deal? Let me guess, you’re scared. Scared you and Jeremy are going to burn for everything you’ve done to me… to Layla.”Kaila’s face didn’t flinch, her tone sharper than a blade. “I’m not here to apologize. Not for torturing you
AXEL VOSSThe room felt more like a dungeon than a chamber, its cold stone walls pressing in on everyone present. Alpha Axel stood with his intimidating gait, his cold gaze cutting through the tension like a blade. No one dared meet his eyes for long, not even the guards stationed by the doors. Ava stood tall, her presence as sharp and unyielding as Axel’s own, despite the attack she’d barely survived, which made Axel wonder.Jeremy knelt on the floor, shackled and trembling. A thick muzzle strapped across his face silenced his panicked breaths. His wrists were raw, and the other fists had been chopped off and were still dripping with blood, his resolve crumbling under the weight of the stupid things he had done.The evidence against him was hard—he’d dared to strike at the King’s property, and there would be no mercy. Especially since the King came back from the DarkSword Pack. He had been colder and wilder than he had actually been before.“Your Majesty,” the royal physician spoke c
AVA KILLIAN "Would you kill me for ?" Ava asked and Jared was taking aback for a second, it was a knight's duty to protect, and even kill anyone who poses harm to those under their protection.He took it that way and replied."Ofcouse I would." Jared had said.Ava had now somehow left the palace in protection of Jared, "For me to trust you and your words, you should be able to at least keep this little secret with you" Ava had said to him. And Jared kept to his words and illegally brought Ava outside the palace to the ocean's shore where ashes of the dead, the ashes of capital sinners, and unclaimed body were disposed.Layla's ashes was most probably disposed there too, She wanted to visit Layla's resting place first, and make her promise to her. Ava took a deep breath as the ocean stretched before her, the breeze blowing on her face and for a brief moment she could perceive that sweet scent of Layla. Her kindness, her loyalty. Dieing unjustified like that made her heart ache, she
