FENRIS+It has been a week since I started living in this house. Oddly, this small one-story house has started feeling more like home than Mystic Shadow ever was. Maybe because I feel the traces of my parent's imprints here. The traditional wood-burning fireplace in the living room helps in creating a soothing ambience. There is a couch and two arm chairs at equal distances facing the TV. Everything else is quite undisturbed here except for the TV and the kitchen. The changes were all done by Nora and Alcina. I was told to just walk in and settle in my new house."Come on. Dinner is ready," says Nora distracting me. No, they don't live here but we have decided to have dinner once a week so that we can get to know each other more and therefore, build better familial relationship. I readily agreed. If they are ready to know me better and make me feel welcome in their lives then who am I to say no?"Yeah. Where are your kids?" I ask."They went for a perimeter check you know to secure th
SIERRA"Why are you leaving early? The full moon's tomorrow." Tatiana asks nervously as we stand at the gates to bid farewell to Caliana and Lycidas.Instead of a car, Lycidas has a motorcycle. I never would have thought that the quiet and brooding Lycidas owns a motorcycle and surprisingly is quite fond of it. He straddles the monstrous vehicle and waits patiently for Caliana who is lecturing me about how I have just healed and shouldn't participate in anymore duels. I nod innocently and try to control the urge to roll my eyes at her motherly affection."Baby?" Lycidas calls her and I breathe a sigh of relief as he comes to my rescue. Caliana turns to look, no, glare at him for disturbing her rant and I wave my hands for him to take her away before she decides to give me anymore of her stifling lectures. Tatiana just chuckles watching the drama but I ignore her."In a minute! I am doing something important here!" exclaims Caliana pointing at me."And what would that be?" Lycidas asks
SIERRAI shiver when the man's eyes land on me. I move behind to hide but instead walk into something. Turning my head to look at it, I barely stifle a gasp when I look directly into the black eyes of none other than Amora.She smiles evilly at me, scaring me shitless. It feels like reliving my nightmare. How did she get here?"Come on, Princess," she cackles and grabs my arm in a death grip, almost bruising me and I gasp at the suddenness of it. I try to loosen her hold but she me. I don't move my legs but that doesn't stop her as she drags me with her. All the while, I struggle to break free of her hold but then stop when I hear my name.I whip my head to look into Fenris's shocked gaze as he stares at me. He stands still for only a second and then his expression changes from shock to blazing anger as starts walking in my direction. I only now look at the girl standing behind him who stops my mate from coming to me. She's the same one, whom Fenris was engrossed with, during the cere
FENRIS"You cannot go there, Fenris. Your mate's safe for the time being. Focus on Xanthos, he's dangerous to her," Alcina whispers behind me. I do not take my eyes off my mate, afraid that she'll vanish in the blink of an eye. I take a step back reluctantly, gritting my teeth to control my fangs from slipping free.Xanthos's cruel and rough handling of my mate are driving me insane. I clench my fists; my wolf's constant rage is fuelling my anger and Sierra's fear and her scared eyes are tipping me off the edge. I can't keep the growls from slipping from my throat."Shall we start the fight? First one to submit, dies and the winner will be the King." Xanthos smirks and I want to do nothing else but to wipe off that shit-eating smirk off his face. He's going to pay for laying his filthy hands on my mate.I shift into my wolf and in no time, we start the duel. I know at some point Xanthos will cheat but I wait patiently for him to make the first move. He doesn't make me wait long when h
FENRISWashing off the fresh blood from my shoulders and hips, I barely wince at the pain from the wounds, debating about the problem of my mate's heat. It feels like fate has taken the decision out of our hands and tossed this heat thing to speed up our mating. I can't see her in pain like that and I wouldn't be able to stop myself if I go near her, her scent calls out to something primitive in me, and then I will lose my temper when she accuses me of rape.I can almost see all the images dancing in front me.A knock on the bathroom door startles me from my thoughts and quickly I grab the towel from the rack, covering myself just in time as the door opens. Fuck! I forgot to lock the door.She stands just inside the bathroom in my shirt which is torn from the sleeves. Her pants seem to have disappeared."The pants feel like ants crawling on my skin so I removed them," she answers my unasked question maybe because I am staring at her never ending smooth looking legs. I look up to see a
FENRIS"We were told to follow Master Xanthos. Master Xavier knew about his plans and just wanted us to keep an eye out for him, to save him if he was in trouble," speaks the rogue, who's bathed in the stench of fear and disgust.I grunt at his answer and control myself from ripping his throat off or rather to cut off his dick which twitched when he looked at my mate. I have been sitting here for almost an hour, interrogating this bastard who's keeping me from returning back to my mate. I sigh and shake my head at the stubbornness of this rogue. He just won't co-operate."What was my mate injected with?" I try again hoping that he would answer now at least."The witch made a potion to artificially trigger her heat. Master told her to inject your mate only when master Xanthos was winning. You spoiled our plan by tricking master Xanthos." The rogue finishes his sentence, and it takes all of my control from thrashing him. Xavier and his psychotic plans. They are more dangerous when he in
FENRISPersistent knocking on the door, wakes me up from my sleep. Groaning I open my eyes and turn to see Sierra sitting up in the bed, frowning at the door. She still appears drowsy and doesn't acknowledge my whispered call so I take a few silky strands of her bed-hair and give them a tug, effectively catching her attention.She turns to look at me and blushes, probably at my semi-nude form and it takes all my will power from dragging her back into my arms and ignoring Calum's call. But instead all I manage to say or rather rumble is, "Don't panic, baby. That's Calum my other cousin. I'll see to what he wants, you can go back to sleep. I know you are tired."She nods and nibbles on her bottom lip, thinking hard. She turns to look at the door when Calum knocks again with a little more force. I roll my eyes."Wait a minute, will you?""Elder Raoul is here. Get out of your bed," mutters Calum from the other side of the door and then I hear his retreating footsteps."Oh, no, Fenris. Eld
SIERRAThe warm water cascading down my shoulders, feels oddly soothing as I stand under the shower thinking about Fenris's closed and cold behavior before he walked out on me. We didn't have a verbal argument like adults. No, he just left me there hanging without a proper conclusion. Does he still want to be with me? Does he reject the claim?Oh no! I hope he doesn't reject me. What would I do if he rejected me?Damn, I feel like hitting myself, to punish myself for rejecting my mate. My eyes burn, maybe because of the burn of the soap, surely not because of my tears. I am done crying over my misery.My fingers have started pruning, I sigh at the sight of my wrinkled fingertips and shut off the shower tap. Taking a towel from the restocked rack I dry myself and then tie my hair up using another towel, my hands trembling.Now, what do I wear? I drop my face on my palm, shaking my head at my stupidity. What was I thinking getting into the shower when I don't have clothes? Fuck this! Fe
FENRISI am flipping the pancake carefully making sure that it becomes golden brown and doesn't burn when Sierra's loud scream echoes in the house. Her thought projections are all chaotic and I can sense only panic and fear.Almost throwing the pan in my hands, I quickly shut the burner and climb up the stairs two at a time to our pup's room from where I can hear my mate's chaotic thoughts. Throwing open the door, I look around for threats but find none. Sierra's gaze is wild with fear and tears are running down her cheeks as she stares at the crib in which our new born is sleeping soundly."What's wrong," I whisper walking towards her and wiping away her tears, not wanting to wake up the pup. She's too sensitive to even the smallest of sounds."She's not here. She wasn't there when I came in here to check in on her," my mate screams, waking up our daughter who immediately starts crying."She's here, Sierra. She's in the crib," I pick up our little Kotyonok and take her to Sierra who'
SIERRA"On behalf of our prince, I, Elder Alarick hereby declare Luna Aurora's son, Connor Lupe as the new Alpha of Blue Moon Pack. Conan Lupe was the one to break the mate bond, therefore, losing his position as the Alpha but his mate will still be their pack's unofficial Luna till Alpha Connor finds his mate."I watch as Connor makes a cut in his palm and lets it mix with all the five elders' blood, forming a new bond, an Alpha bond. Then he mixes his blood with Fenris's to strengthen his bond with the future Alpha King of Recrania.I am once again seated between Christine and my mom watching my mate perform all those rituals. I am restless. I want to claim him, now.As if listening to my prayers, Elder Alarick motions for all the Alphas to come forward and then tells Fenris to get me. I quickly stand up and meet Fenris halfway not at all deterred by a few chuckles and whispering.Fenris smiles at my excitement, his own shining in his eyes and I put my hand in his as we walk togethe
SIERRAI try to hear what my mate's saying but am distracted by his appearance and his voice. I am literally swooning in my seat watching Fenris address his people before beginning the elders' selection. I had a case of jittery legs so I requested to sit and watch him instead of standing beside him. I'll be up there with him during the ascension ceremony but for now, I want to watch him and let him be known as the Alpha of his future pack.My morning sickness attacks me unexpectedly and I am pretty sure that everyone around me is keeping their distance because they don't want the risk of being puked upon. Apparently, only my scent can be hidden, not the symptoms.I have the front row seat, being the Alpha Prince's mate. My parents are beside me on one side whereas Christine is on my other side and Yuki and Randale beside Christine.All the Alphas have been given the second-row seats with their children sitting in the third-row seats. The people from Crimson Shadow are seated in the ro
SIERRAI try hard, very hard to not be afraid of Alpha Conan but I can't help it when he's standing at my door with a murderous look on his face demanding to meet my mate and cursing like a mad man. Well, a mad man he is!"Be careful, Alpha Conan. You shouldn't disrespect the future Queen of Recrania," growls Fenris, making me jump. Alpha Conan looks over my shoulder at Fenris who walks angrily towards me, literally lifting me and putting me behind him. I clutch on his t-shirt which is becoming wet from the water dripping from his hair, no doubt he heard Alpha Conan's cursing from the bathroom while showering."She's not the queen yet neither are you the King. In fact, you and your horde of elders are not at all capable of ruling a country as big as Recrania. With only two elders by your side you cannot stop me from marrying off my daughter to the Alpha King of Abros."Fenris growls and takes a step forward but I hold his shirt, feeling my anger rise at how carelessly he has disregard
FENRISI pace in elder Alarick's office desperately wanting to go back home and in my mate's arms and not deal with this problem. Since the day she woke up, I can't help myself, I crave her presence. It's not the fact that she's carrying my child that I crave her presence but more like her kidnapping has made me paranoid. I can't even for a second imagine my life without her in it but when I was summoned by elder Alarick because I refused to go to him, I was pushed out of the house by the same mate."Let's not actively look out for Alexandria. Let her think that we don't care and that we've forgotten about her," I suggest elder Alarick even when I don't understand how she managed to get out of her prison. She's no doubt had some help and that too from someone in the school."That's alright. She might even lead us to her master. Just put a spy on her," he says and I nod my agreement. I have many people who would fit in the category of a spy, I smirk mentally."You need to claim the Alp
SIERRA"What?" he growls and then pulls me up by my arm gently yet firmly and pulls me close so that our chests are touching. My nipples harden at the feel of his hard chest. My body always betrays me! Here, I am trying to have a serious conversation but my body is busy preparing itself for her mate's touch.How gross is it? Pathetic even."Tell me, mate and this time take a pause in between," he whispers in my ears no doubt noticing my body's response to his touch. My suspicions are confirmed when he nibbles on my ears. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, letting his scent into my body before preparing myself to speak."Do you think of me as a power-hungry mate?" I ask finally not actually knowing of how he will react.He let's go of me completely and I sway for a moment not at all expecting this reaction from him. My fears are confirmed. He does think of me like that. Oh, no! What am I going to do?"I think you should rest for some time. Are you not feeling well?" he asks comple
SIERRA"By the time we reached the school territory, elder Ernouf had also passed away. Since then, all the wolves present here are in mourning. We haven't begun classes or any other regular activities or meetings. It has all come to a standstill," says Fenris.We are sitting on the couch in the living room where Fenris is telling me all those things that I missed during my sleep. He told me how Dominic and he had become friends and that his presence was what kept them away. I am grateful for his presence even if he was a prisoner and I wouldn't wish that life on anyone but because of him, my worst nightmare was avoided."Who poisoned elder Ernouf's food?" I ask fiddling with Fenris's hair which is in serious need of a haircut. He has now shaved his beard and I get more of his face to kiss and smother."I don't know. When I reached here, you were all skeleton and your recovery was my priority. Elder Alarick says that someone close that is a wolf with authority poisoned him as earlier
SIERRAIt's too warm, I think as I wake up. Turning my head, I bump my nose directly into the source of the warmness and see that it's the chest of my huge mate who's wrapped around me like a wise, protecting me even in his sleep, making sure that I don't go anywhere, as if I would want to be anywhere else.Never.I came very close to lose everything. My mate and our pup, I almost lost them because of Xavier and I can't thank the Goddess enough for sending my mate there when she did.I nuzzle my nose in his chest and he stirs rolling to lie on his back and pulling me with him. Now I am the one draped over him and I fully intend to take advantage of it. I lift my face over his chest and take in my mate's sleeping form. He looks relieved, less tired. The shadows under his eyes have vanished and his face looks serene even with all that beard covering his face.I let my gaze roam over his neck, his chest and shoulders checking for myself that he's fine. The memory of his skin burning afte
SIERRAA loud buzzing noise disturbs my sleep, forcing me to open my eyes. It's dark and for one moment, the horrible thought that Xavier caught me again and imprisoned me invades my mind. Only, the familiar scent of my mate keeps the hysteria at bay.Slowly, the images of Fenris killing Xavier and then carrying me to some car, giving me hot water and then falling asleep, enter my mind. I fell asleep. Oh yes, and it was the best sleep I've had in a long time."Shut up, Fenris. She's awake," someone says loudly and a growl slips from my throat. It's too loud for my ears.Looking around, I search for my mate knowing that he's here with me but my brain doesn't co-operate with me. I feel stiff and heavy. My body feels heavy as if I am suffering from a hangover.He notices my discomfort, perhaps, as he leans over my body and soon, his face comes into my view. I find his wide cobalt blue gaze. There are shadows beneath his eyes no doubt from worrying about me. He has a beard. Oh my! He look
