AXEL VOSS

As the last lock fell away, Axel surged forward, unbolting Darcy from the chair and pulling her small, limp body into his arms. The steady thump of her heartbeat against his chest brought a fleeting relief—she was still in there, just in a trance, controlling two adults' bodies at once.

Ava's heart ached seeing the multiple needles in her daughter's head. She reached to remove them, but Axel grabbed her hands with a deadly glare.

"I will not risk any complications!"

Ava saw the look in Axel's eyes, still burning with rage.

He turned to the Grand Maester, the man who dared bring pain upon his daughter. With a snarl, Axel walked over and snapped the man's neck in a single, brutal twist. The body fell lifeless to the ground, and silence blanketed the room for a heartbeat.

Ava noticed Darcy's fingers move as she knelt before her. Though Darcy's eyes remained closed, the movement of her fingers at the moment Axel snapped the old man’s neck frightened her.

Axel’s gaze shifted to C

    AVA KILLIAN Ava’s voice broke through the chaos, her tone defiant yet fearful. “Axel, they’re not stopping!” she called out. She had never felt so powerless. She felt like she was slowing them down as her horse lagged far behind Axel's. She definitely couldn't match his pace—a conqueror who had ridden horses in several wars. She couldn't match up to his speed, even though his right hand was embracing Darcy tightly to his chest and his left hand held the horse's reins. It didn’t slow him down. And Cahir's men were already closing in on them. "Control your horse. Mount her! Let her know your urgency!" Axel growled from his horse. Ava yielded to his advice, urging her horse on with the same exclamation he used. "Hiyahh! Hiyahh!" She noticed the pace of her horse picking up, but the flying arrows didn’t help. They whizzed over their heads, threatening to knock her off the horse. Then, she sensed an eerie presence in the woods. An unnaturally strong fog seemed to cover them. Sudde

    AVA KILLIANAva's face lit up, and her hands found their way around his bulging erection; her heart quickened at the sight. His penis was rock-hard, alive, and breathing, fighting to break free from the restriction of his pants.Even though Axel remained inscrutable and cynical, his cock seemed to have a mind of its own, happily responding to the subtle touches of her tiny hands.Ava felt her heart racing as her half-naked body pressed against his toned frame. She allowed herself to melt into his hot, muscular body, uncertain of what he'd do next. Perhaps he’d push her away, which would totally wreck her already patched heart. Summoning all the courage she had, she gently unzipped his pants and created an entrance for her ravenous hand to travel inside. As she gripped his thick, rock-hard cock, it was warm and getting harder with her touch.Ava realized Axel was still expressionless; he didn’t move, but his hand continued trailing around her burn scars. She swallowed as she caressed h

    AT THE CAPITAL, CENTRAL POWER OF THE ROYAL HOUSE OF LYCANS PALACE HENRI OF BLOODCLAW Henri was furious as he clawed the council table, his eyes filled with dangerous resolve as he grimaced at the faces before him: the Small Council, Lord Ashfold, Kaila, Grand Prince Aric, Vera Cole, and the Grand Maester. Their eyes shifted between one another as Henri prowled around the table, anger clear on his face. “Princess Darcy is missing!” Henri’s voice was a low, seething growl as his gaze swept over the council. “I received word she’s been taken to Cahir at Darksword. Who among you has committed this treachery?” Silence hung thick in the room. No one could speak, yet the tension was like a burning fire. Finally, Henri’s glare landed on Kaila, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. She was the one who desperately wanted Princess Darcy punished and wasn’t satisfied with his rule. “Consort Kaila,” he snarled, “you’re the only one who voiced disagreement with Darcy’s punishment, claiming it

    AXEL VOSS"Shh!" Axel shushed Ava as he sniffed the air and paid attention with his vibrant senses of hearing and smell. He knew immediately that Cahir's men were already closing in on them.“What is it? Cahir’s soldiers?” Ava gasped, her instincts directing her back to the shelter where Darcy lay unconscious. As she tried to run inside the fort, her heart dropped when a savage-looking Delta guard came out of the shelter with Darcy's unconscious body in his arms, and a vicious smile crept onto his face.Axel's face etched with anger and a protective resolve as he tried to jump on the guard, until he saw the glistening knife gently placed at Darcy's neck, which momentarily froze him—Darcy was his hostage.And so fast, they were surrounded by another dozen of Cahir's Delta guards, and then a hysterical laughter cut the tension."Do you think you can escape from me, Axel?" Cahir purred."It is over now, Cahir. Let my girl go, or I’ll stop at nothing to tear you to shreds alive and feed y

  • House of the Lycans   Chapter 60: Evil Schemes

    AT THE CAPITAL, CENTRAL POWER THE ROYAL HOUSE OF LYCANS PALACE HENRI OF BLOODCLAW Henri could not wrap his head around the ridiculousness of it all—how he was quickly accused of this great crime of committing adultery with Vera, the king's concubine, and immediately locked up without the council giving him the benefit of the doubt or a chance to deny the allegation. He wasn't only surprised by the absurdity of it all, but also by how the Council didn’t discuss getting Princess Darcy back. Henri could not imagine what might have gone wrong with that little princess, and her uncle Aric, who was supposed to be enthusiastic about finding her, seemed so relaxed, instead fighting a power struggle. Henri growled as he banged the cell gate continuously. "I need to get out of here and find the Princess! Do you think the king would do this to me if he were here? What is this misplaced priority?" Henri growled loudly, hoping there was anyone from the council behind the dungeon. Just as he ha

"This is madness," he spat, casting a fierce look across the assembly. "Instead of wasting time on these fabricated lies, you should be searching for Princess Darcy!"Henri had no time for this little drama brought up by Aric, He was desperate to know the condition of the missing princess, especially since Alpha Axel has been gone for days now and there were no message or orders from him.Axel had told him not to lift a finger since he was gone until he returns back with Ava alive, and now his daughter has been kidnapped to the same enemy he risked his life to deal with.He doesn't know what to decide on, he could have raised armies against the Da

    AVA KILLIAN Ava held onto Axel, who was gradually losing consciousness, but he tried hard to gain control of himself, despite being unable to stand properly. With a single snap, he broke the arrow buried in his arm, closer to his chest, without removing it in order not to lose blood. "We need to get to the Capital before dawn," Axel’s voice was gruff. "You need to rest. I'll check around for help, maybe a traveler, farmer, or anyone! You are poisoned," Ava panicked as Axel held her tightly with a deadly glare. "I can hold on. Let’s get back to the palace now!" he growled. "I could bring help from the palace, Father," Flynn proposed, looking worried for his father, as Axel gently patted his shoulder. "I’ll be fine. We need to get to the palace. Can you mount your Direwolf? They are almost bigger than a pony. They are safer than the enemy's horse," Axel questioned, as the lethality of the poison coursed through his bloodstream, causing excruciating pain. He was drenched in

The Grand Maester had checked her and told Ava she was merely in a state of shock due to the cruel number of acupuncture needles used on her, and she would recover soon.This gave Ava a breath of relief as the Grand Maester continued to decoct the poison antidote. Though he had given Axel a series of neutralizers, the physician worked on the several fatal injuries on his body.All the injuries were inflicted by Cahir: the unhealed gashes from the Death Pit and the wound from the poisoned arrow that took him down.As the physician removed the arrow, which was about an inch deep into his arm, Ava's heart ached while the other nurses applied pressure.Suddenly, a familiar voice shot into the room."Oh!

You just focus on managing the household," Lady Baron said, and I felt a lump in my throat. I can't believe Sinclair's mother was saying this. "I am not made only to manage this household while I'm reduced to a lowly concubine. Why can't he marry his mate as a concubine instead?" I replied to Lady Baron, and I could see the shock in her eyes; they had known me as the obedient wife who only does whatever they order, and she didn't expect that I'd talk back.Family and honour were my life, and as the only surviving heiress to the prestigious House Ashtower of the Mooncrest Pack, I have to be married to keep my family's name and house alive.Especially since the kingdom has been divided by the twin Alpha Heirs, who loathed one another with utmost passion, making everything unstable, this has led my father to make a marriage pact with me and a certain useless heir of the Baron Hous

    UNEDITED CONE BRACKENRIDGE Cole had never tasted true pain. He was the son with the perfect birthright, unscarred by curses, adored by all. He was handed everything on a gilded platter, and yet now—now—we shared a mate? The word seared my mind. My wolf clawed at the edges of my control, demanding blood, demanding dominance.But I tried harder to calm my wolf; he could rule all day and night, but this night was mine. I have to be in control of my wolf.I glanced at Vissera. She stood stiffly beside me, her head held high, a fragile thing pretending at strength. She was looking at Cole as he entered the hall. She didn’t dare look at me. She was trembling, and it wasn’t the chill of the hall that did it. It was me.I terrified her.No matter how softly I spoke, no matter how carefully I moved, my presence consumed the air around her like smoke. She was suffocating. The fragile bond between us hummed with fear, and that fear only fuelled my rage. My fists clenched at my sides. Not toni

    VISSERA ASHTOWER I was safely escorted into Alpha Soft-heart's automobile with him by my side. He held my hand tightly as the car drove us off towards the Moontower. I felt some relief because this time it isn't the Bloodtower.But I noticed something with me that I felt so embarrassed about, and I do not want Alpha Cole to notice this: the moment Alpha Stoneheart left the moonspire with his entourage, my body had instantly started to feel that foreign insatiable feeling that I felt when I was in Alpha Cone's captive, That irresistible heat spreading in my core made my vagina wet and throb when he dominated me and made me submit to his wild sexual ordeals. When I begged to not be his hunt and begged to be submissive and do anything he wants because I have heard tales of him totally losing it to his beast, and his beast would hunt and suck the blood of his hunt dry.I didn't want to become that, be his hunt, and the fear etched my heart for betraying him.

    Unedited VISSERA ASHTOWER I woke up in the middle of the night to meet Alpha Cole just by my side; the chandelier's candles in the room all lit up his handsome, well-structured face. His face was like it was moulded by the dexterous hand of the Creator of heaven and earth himself, but the room feels like it was melancholic. "You are awake, "he growled as he caressed my forehead with his hand; my heart fluttered... I couldn't tell why, but I could say it is still the disbelief that the most revered Alpha, Cole, is my mate, and right here checking if I'm alright. "Yes… I feel better. I can assure you I am in good health, Alpha." I quickly defended. Most Alphas will send their mates back immediately if they show the slightest message of unhealthiness. Inbred nobles and weak mates, I'm not any of those. I'm not ready to be chased back because of a damned uncontrollable heat. I am not ready to lose all this. This is my chance to save myself and Yennefer from the hell of all these men

"No..." Alpha Cone choked out, his voice low, barely audible. "Vissera…” He called; he realised now that he was only able to stay in control for so long because Vissera was his mate and nearer to him, but now that she was gone, he couldn't keep control of his beast anymore.Something inside him snapped.It started in his chest, a pain so fierce it felt like his heart was being ripped apart. He staggered out of the car clutching at his ribs; the pain wasn't only physical. Her betrayal consumed him, feeding the rage that swirled together like a storm within him, His beast surged forward, no longer asking permission. It tore into him, merciless and wild. The pain became unbearable, ripping through his nerves like fire. He fell to his knees, his hands si

The beast I know would have made her his hunt.This littlest humane part was the way he fought to own Vissera, The way he went the human route by actually speaking words with me Instead of spilling blood, and also taking my entourages hostage not making them corpses.The Cone Brackenridge I know would not leave, he would take what he wants with bloodshed, and everyone in this moonspire would be his victim..But he restrained himself?

I bade the security man as well; I stopped a cab, and it waited, and I entered. It carried me to the address I gave him, which was my home. I walked to our house door, pressed the doorbell, and it rang, and Nicki rushed out as she almost bumped into me. She looks stuffy as she stuck chicken's lap in her mouth. "Huh, welcome, miss," Nicki said. "Thanks," I said with a smile. "Where's sister? "I asked, "I'm here; welcome, she said as she stepped out of her room. "How was the work? "She asked, "Good."

Anger crackled through Ava's heart.“What a lovely sight,” Kaila said, her tone warm and deceiving, Ava could see through her hypocritical tone, “It’s good to see the children so full of life, isn’t it, Ava?”Ava stiffened. There was a deliberate sharpness to Kaila’s words, like she had something up her sleeve, Ava needed no one to tell her Kaila had something on her for her to visit her room in the first place.Kaila turned to Axel,
