Elizabeth's POV.-All abruptly goes still at once and I feel the jitters of the arresting effect bringing my wide eyes to snap in the direction of- Zara!She grips the supporting arms of her mate as she loses strength in her legs. All attention falls on her and just like I'm breaking away from my mate who follows after me, I see Mother doing the same and we get to them."The baby's coming...help..." Zara is anxious and nervy, and Nova looks terrified."Quick, someone call the Pack doctor!" Mother hollers at the crowd as some figures move into action amidst the murmurings.I hold Zara's other hand, trying to give her as much support as she begins to respire from her mouth. "Zara, breathe, you'll be fine. The Pack doctor will be here in a jiffy" I encourage and she gives me a weak smile that switches to a moan and she shudders."The Shelter is too far, we'll have to set up some space here" Mother worries and looks up apologetically to my mate."You lot remain here with her," Vyin says,

Danika’s POV.-“Number sixteen.”The warder calls from outside the large cell and an Omega from across where I’m sitting tiredly rises to her feet. Along her frail stance, the heavy chains shackled to her thin wrists and ankles clank as she trudges towards the cell door in her shabby grey gown.We’re all dressed in the same rag clothing with number tags clutched onto it. In this large rancid cell, we’re only female wolves in here, enslaved for the sole purpose of breeding alone. Over the years I’ve spent in this terrifying shelter, hidden away from the rest of the world, I’ve come to learn that the humans, the arch enemies of my kind, capture and imprison us like this and force us to copulate with other captive male wolves and bear children. And these children...I’m not certain where they end up; either sold off into slavery or maybe used as weapons.As the cell door is locked and the brunette is led away, my mind reels into memories from six years ago, to the time I had be
Danika’s POV.-“Mommy!”The girls come hugging my legs at once and I gasp, taken aback. The one who had been calling out to me, having tangly red hair and deep tan skin, hugs me the dearest while the younger one with messy chestnut hair and milky skin sobs quietly into my leg.‘How can this be...possible? Shouldn’t they be...’ I bite my lower lip as I watch them with anxiety. How they pour their honest emotions regardless of the nuns coming to take them away. With conflict, I watch the Nuns pick them and take them away.The red-haired one struggles violently as she calls desperately to me, “Mommy! Don’t leave us!”My chest gives a compressing squeeze as my eyes sting to watch the struggling children being forced back in line. With heavy emotions, I turn away from them to answer my number. The elder Nun comes in and takes us down a hallway.“Mommy! No, don’t go!” That desperate call debouches again and I grip my gown tightly, hanging my head as tears pour down my face.
Danika’s POV.-“Who is it?” The teen barks crossly, running a hand through his hair and disrupting his neat hairstyle with a scowl on his face.“Young master, your father sent me to bring you to him,” I hear the warder’s voice and tensely watch the teen curse under his breath, very angry to have been disturbed. He then speaks again.“Come in”.At that permit, dread fills me to see the door coming open and I lock gazes with the warder withholding surprise to see me in such a slutty position. He just keeps staring with that expression until the teen addresses him with a dirty taunt in his vocals.“What, it’s not like you scums don’t have your fill of them too." Then he glances at me with cunning and snickers at the stoned Warder, "Wanna join in?”‘What..is he saying?’ I stare at the teen in alarm, willing him to quit whatever he’s plotting in that head of his and when he returns his attention to me, he smirks deceptively and secures my wrists in one of his hands, pinning i
Danika’s POV.-“Mommy! Mommy! Save us!”The shrill voices come again, debouching from the darkness engulfing me. I dart my eyes about, desperately searching for where my girls are in this dark and suffocating space that drowns all perception.“Girls, where are you?”Utmost fear rattles my being and pushes me into action. I’m running like a mad woman, chasing after the ricocheting echoes of their shrills in this effusive darkness. Then suddenly, a sea of malevolent red flames surges from the darkness and forces me to stop.“Mommy! Help us!”I blink my eyes with my arms up to shield my face from the scorches. Peering through as I take slow steps back, my heart splits in two to see my girls beyond the flames, huddling close with tears streaming down their faces as the flames wall around them.“Girls!”I hiss and fall back with staggering steps. I try to jump through the evading wall of fire but the flames act with a life of its own, obstructing my attempts and forcing m
Danika’s POV.-I wait quietly with my girls on either side of me on the hospital bed while my mate speaks to the doctor. My eyes have been unable to vacate his body for a moment. I’m simply just mesmerized by his presence. How strange to come to discover what a mate truly means to werewolves like me.I gulp a bit and hood my gaze softly. So this is what you feel towards a soul mate? The tingling explosions can’t simmer down and I can’t tune down my effusive attraction towards him. He’s simply just dazzling in my eyes that it stuns me.‘Violet, you haven’t replied to the question I asked you concerning that other person,’ I remind my wolf, averting my eyes to see my youngest with a gummy smile as she rubs the side of her face against my bump.Violet rears away, getting behind the shadows of my mind while I sneer at her, ‘Hey, you can’t just spring into consciousness from nowhere and declare I’ve found my mate and then back out when I need your help to clarify this confusion!’
Danika’s POV.-Tch, they’re scurrying so fast. I follow after them, careful with my gait in wary of the child in me. The girls disappear down a corner, leaving my youngest’s chestnut hair in the breeze for me to follow and as I frown and pace up a bit, a stray scent comes assailing my nose and crinkling it until I sneeze out.“Achoo!” I shudder and halt just at the corner where I sense an incredible amount of it effusing from. It quickly drugs my mind and ensnares me in a trance as I zombie-walk down the corner and shake violently out of my daze to see the source.An alarm rattles my being at once as I and my wolf shifts into a panic. ‘Blood!’At first, I’m still, stuck to my spot. My mind is in a frenzy and I don’t notice I’ve ceased breathing. Not until shrilling wails jitter me out of my temporary horrid shock to wake me into the sullen scene of my girls tugging at the man strewn over a huddle of trash against two big metallic dumpsters.The street lamp is coming up in a
Danika’s POV. - Three Years Later. ~ “Ludis did what?” I gasp, pulling a chair to sit while Kashira grins deeply to affirm what he just said. I settle down and look between him and Mao before lowly asking again, “He fought with them?” “It’s not uncommon among us, you know,” Mao starts to say in a rather calm tone. “Especially among Alpha families. If there are sons and daughters, or even just a son, it’s a test the son has to carry out to determine if his sister’s mate is worthy of her.” I bite down my protest and frown. “Ludis isn’t just any wolf, he’s an Alpha male and of the heterochromatic bloodline,” I argue defensively and Kashira shrugs, “I admit all four of them were powerful and Ludis didn’t make it out without a few bruises.” “But the kid won, and the princess is his,” He cheers, munching his dish of Chow Mein. Doing well to quell my argument as I growl stubbornly and Mao smiles at me. “This is great! I haven’t been to a Chinese restaurant in ages.” “Eat up and leave,
Danika’s POV.-I’m nervous. This is the most I’ve been in years. I can’t even breathe properly. Clutching my mate’s arm, I lean against him, trembling as I try to stabilize my breath. The Faeries who’ve helped me into my bedazzling nature-enchanted gown stare at me with confidence, trying to restore my timid brave spirit as I shut my eyes for a moment.I feel his soothing palm brush over mine and his tender voice speaks to me, “Do you want to sit down for a minute and pull yourself together?” Then he takes on a sarcastic edge, “Or I can just go out there and let them know you’re not up for it.”I growl and snap my eyes open to glare at him who smirks at me, poking between my brows as he says, “Yeah, that’s it. We can start from there.”Thanks to his tease, I’m a bit annoyed and I use that emotion to shake myself out of it. Ridding the unwanted anxiety and uncertainties that latch onto my frame and heart. Grabbing the bodice of my shimmering gown, I step forward.“I’ve kept
Danika’s POV.-Taren and Emma? Wow, will you look at that? Although it might seem as if Emma’s so smitten as she fusses endlessly, running her trembling lips, blinking her eyes, nervously fiddling with her hair, and unable to tone down the heat resplendent on her face...Taren is keeping cool about it but, it’s evident that he enjoys the reaction he’s eliciting from her.I don’t want to be privy to what they’re talking about. I muster a small smile, watching them a little longer as I feel a familiar presence close in on me. When her trembling fingers try to touch her hair, Taren beats her to it, sleekly sliding his fingers against hers to tuck it behind her steaming ear. At that stunning action, their gazes meet and hold for a moment before Taren averts his to smirk a little while Emma palms her face.“She’d never let Lian hear the end of it. But here she is, acting so silly like a girl experiencing her first love.”I raise a brow at Elaine who grins at me, only to have me deb
Danika’s POV.-“You’ll sell the property?”“We’ve thought about it and that’s the conclusion we came down with.”Those voices sound familiar. I groan in my sleep, rousing sluggishly along my slow turn over. On my back with my hand rustling the sheets in search of my mate, I frown and open my eyes. I jump out of bed, pick up a random shirt from the floor, and pull into it along my exit.“Now, don’t look gloomy. It was never a home for you.”“Still, it’s where we grew up. Have a rethink, Christian. You’re making a hasty decision.”Found him. Wearing a gummy smile, I embrace him from behind, pressing against his bare back and snaking my arms around his waist as I drag my forehead up to his shoulder. He probably sensed me coming, that’s why I don’t elicit much of a reaction from him. I want to place my head on his shoulder but find Liam staring at me with heavy drowsy eyes.“Why you this little...” I whisper at him and his hazy eyes clear to revive a grin. Liam pecks my nose
Danika’s POV.-Why’s she with the Elf? How did she get here so fast? Puzzled, I walk towards them. Aunt Sue raises the Elf’s head onto her thighs and stares at him with a form of sadness I don’t understand. I watch them with scrutiny, how the Elf barely moves with his breath fading fast while Aunt Sue takes his numb hand in hers.“Sue...” He rasps, his voice almost just air. But she hears him, and so do I as I keep away. “...I’m sorry I couldn’t...go back to you...properly...”The little life force inside of him disappears after he says that. Aunt Sue hugs his head to her chest, trembling softly as she mutters in a shaky voice, “The times you did...they reached me.”‘Seems like they had something going on in the past,’ Violate ponders while I just stare at her as she slides her palm over his eyes to shut his eyelids. She gently guides his head off her thighs to settle on the floor as if he’s only sleeping.“Every sinner deserves even one person to mourn them.”I push forw
Danika’s POV.-“It’s a pity that her daughters inherited everything about her.”The splitting sound of a gunshot suddenly rings out. In a flash, Elizabeth and Chestnut fall over the handrail and Grandma Bo breathes her last. Shock stuns me in place, with eyes spreading wider each slowly ticking second as I remain numb and unperceptive for a moment.“Watch them die.”It all rushes back into me in an instant. The ravenous and black rage that consumed me before, sets my being ablaze in a breath. I leap over the handrail, going after them. I don’t see Chestnut. Elizabeth is still in her bind and I catch her when she’s just an inch from the floor.“Your Highness! This is the worst to have happened.” I hold my sister close, barely succeeding at holding my rage to force a turn around so I can see Tara and my mate. I see Chestnut is with my mate and I hand over Elizabeth to them.“You all should leave...help Yi Wen...and get the Tuyens out of here,” I manage to growl, the last r
Danika’s POV.-Poof! The head my maw should’ve crushed to pieces explodes into ashen fairy dust. I fall back swiftly and shake my head to rid of the cloud. Only to growl ever nefariously at the face of my grinning enemy standing across from me – with the stolen Grimoire in hand.“Heh, think you’d get me so easy?” He grins diabolically, intentionally hinting at the large black voluminous book in his hand. “I commend your prowess for making it this far, but this is as far as you-”Cut to the chase already. I ain’t got time for pointless blabbering!I’m onto him with a breath, working my maw aggressively, pounding my hefty paws here and there, breaking the floor and sending tremors through the walls- it’s now it comes to me. This is no longer the haunted maze. We’re inside the Tuyen’s mansion. What a sneaky game indeed.I snag him with a swing of my left paw, smacking the side of his head to send him smashing through a wall. The result isn’t gratifying, it only burns my fury
Danika’s POV.-“Danika, hey, slow down. You’re not thinking of rushing off, are you?” Taren questions behind me as we sprint back to the car. “Persuading me won’t work, Taren,” I cut him off coldly. “You heard that thing as clearly as I did.”We get to the car and I briefly turn to face him as I drop rustily, barely keeping my tumultuous rage in check so I don’t snap at him, “I don’t need your help to go save them.”I grab the handle and yank the driver’s door open, zeroing my smoldering orbs on my mate as I give the command, “Move over to the passenger seat.”They all regard me with surprise, Charles blinking at me like I’m someone else. He frowns and attempts to challenge me, only to flinch at the realization of something and lean worriedly towards me. “Is something wrong? Why do you look so angry?”“We’re only wasting valuable time,” I swat his concern aside and use my ability to make the shift happen. I snatch control of the steering wheel, startling my sister to prote
Danika’s POV. - My muscles still hurt from the intensive training I just concluded. I’m so sweaty, it’s making my clothes feel uncomfortable. I cringe at the reek of heat oozing from my body as I enter the Pack House with my mate behind me. It’s hard not to inhale the stench, and it’s driving me crazy. “Sparing with Alpha Vyin and Ludis for over three hours sure is taking its toll,” I grumble with a crumpled face. I toss my face aside as if I can detach my soul from my body, inadvertently robbing myself of sensing where I’m heading. That’s when my right foot bumps into something and my body lurches forward with a yelp. “If you were going to become this grumpy, you shouldn’t have chosen to spar in both wolf and human forms.” I cringe pathetically at the flat tone of my mate who’s saved me with an arm around my waist. “We don’t have much time,” He begins to say after helping me straighten up. “You go freshen up, in the meantime, I’ll go get the kids.” It’s day four already, and to
