Landry’s POVLandry is stunned.She doesn’t understand? How could she not understand? How are his feelings not clear?He could explain. Right now. He could tell her everything.But staring into her eyes, Landry feels a lump in his throat and decides on a lie. The truth is far too painful, he can’t imagine looking into her beautiful, guarded eyes and telling her his feelings, for her to not respond.“You’ve been my comrade for many years,” he tells her. It’s at least partly the truth. Anyone knows the best lies start that way. “You are the only female Alpha. We have fought together, bled together. You are important.”Something Landry can’t identify flashes in Bernice’s eyes, too quickly for him to realize what it is. She shakes her head, long blonde locks tumbling over her back, and fixes her gaze on him.Landry recognizes that gaze. It is the same one she used while she acted as Alpha, on unruly wolves who dared cross the line. It’s stern, no nonsense, and Landry gulps. He’s somewhat
Bernice POV I suppose I should have expected this question. I have changed to and from my forms enough times in front of Landry that it’s only natural he is curious, and he truly has helped me. He could have cast me out, he could have handed me over to rogue wolves to be raped and killed, but he has helped me and cared for me. He deserves to know. “I was born out of wedlock.” Landry blinks but nods, indicating I should continue. I take a deep breath to steady myself. This story is difficult, and it’s one I have told absolutely no one before in my whole life. “My father had me with my mother, an unbonded Omega. Although I have the royal white fur, I am an Omega, and therefore useless to my father. He had other children, Alpha children, but most died in battle. The only survivor is too young to be Alpha of the pack, and my father is too old. “So, he and my stepmother told me that for the good of the pack, I should take this special medica
Landry POV The gorgeous she-wolf lying in front of him, so weak, so frail – she looks nothing like the Bernice that Landry thought he knew. Once, she was a mighty goddess on the battlefield. Now, she is a sickly Omega, near death. Landry still loves her. He strokes his hands through her hair, runs his touch gently down her body, trying to soothe her as she moans in pain even in her coma. There’s pain on her face, so Landry kisses it away, smoothing out the wrinkles between her brow and the frown on her full lips. He trails fingers over the curve of her hips, the fullness of her breasts, resting over the beating of her heart. Slowly, he keeps touching her, pressing fingers and kisses to her feverish skin until she slips deeper into sleep, finally without pain. Watching the sick she-wolf lying in a coma before him, Landry felt horribly guilty that he ever considered her a spy. Days go by as Bernice slips in and out of the coma, sometimes coheren
Landry POVLandry is shocked when Bernice says yes. She has always fought him when he’s tried to fuck her, which is why he’s only ever used his fingers. His cock twitches in interest, wanting to plunge into her, to fuck her hard and spill his seed deep in her, but he manages to ignore it for a moment.“Do you really wish me to fuck you Bernice?” he asks, He needs to make sure he really wants it. He cares too much for her to do otherwise. “I respect your wishes. I can keep my fingers, I don’t have to—““Landry…” Bernice interrupts weakly, squirming under him. Her wetness soaks into the sheets and pure want shoots through Landry. She is so beautiful, flushed from heat, long blonde hair mussed on the follow, sheets tangled up around her, thighs shiny from her juices.“Yes, Bernice.”“I want you…your cock…please…come on…”As if to punctuate her words, her long, elegant fingers find his rock hard cock and squeeze it weakly, making his wolf howl in delight.“Come on!” it snarls inside Landr
Bernice POV I feel Landry’s breath on my neck and my heartbeat kicks up. He wants to mark me! I ignore the little thrill that goes through me. A voice talks to me. “Let him! Let him bite you! You know you want it!” It is just my heat talking, I think to myself, and turn my head, grabbing his arm and tugging as strongly as my heat will allow. I hate my heat. It makes me weak and vulnerable, although Alphas like it, including Landry. Indeed, he growls in happiness as I can’t move him and kisses me deeply, playing with my breasts until I moan. “Let me,” I gasp, wiggling under him. It makes his big, hard cock go in deeper and I groan wantonly. I feel so exposed, like a proper Omega. “I want to ride you.” “You do?” Landry growls. I nod. It has the benefit of him not being able to mark me, but I truly want his cock that much deeper in me, so that when he cums, it’s deep inside me and can’t escape. He doesn’t give me time to answer, just grabs
Bernice POV “Forget all that.” Landry’s voice comes out as a growl and he launches himself at me. The paperwork goes flying as he lays me down across his huge desk, hiking my shirt and long skirt up, so my soft panties are exposed, as well as my full breasts. My nipples are hard with excitement and I gasp as he fondles them, pinching them between his fingers and leaning down to copy the motion with his teeth. I moan and arch my back as he continues the movement, moving to bite across my chest, leaving brilliant bruises as he goes. “This isn’t – oh! – exactly what I had in mind!” I gasp out. It’s not – I’m supposed to help with paperwork, especially since he’s supposed to meet with the prince shortly. But as he keeps biting me, drawing reluctant moans out of me, I feel his hardness press against my thigh and realize this is what he wants “I suppose I should return the favor…” I think, and when he kisses me, I kiss back. I close my eyes and allow myself to en
Bernice POV “I will go with you.” I frown in shock. This whole conversation has been one surprise after another. First Landry admitted he was worried about me. Now he wishes to join us? I shake my head. I know Landry’s schedule well, he’s told me of his duties often enough, and I know he is busy. “You can’t,” I say. “You have an important meeting, remember?” Landry shakes his head. “No. Canceled.” I frown, thrown. “When did this happen?” Landry grins wryly. I watch him carefully, wondering what he has up his sleeve. I know that look, that’s the look he gets when he has something planned. “Now,” he says, and I hear the familiar sound of him opening a mindlink. He added me to his mindlinks a few days ago, so I would be informed on important events, so I hear him loud and clear when he announces: “Today’s Alpha meeting is canceled. Alpha King Landry is sick. Reschedule soon.” The mindlink closes and I sta
Landry POV Landry looks up from his conversation about painting the palace walls just in time to see Bernice take a deep inhale of the most dangerous flower ever. “Shit!” He shouts, racing over. His eyes scan the area, looking for detoxifying berries. This flower is known as an intense aphrodisiac, sending whoever smells it into deep and sometimes incurable lust. Not only would that hurt a normal person, Bernice is already ill, and Landry doesn’t even want to think about how that could hurt her. “No!” he shouts, pushing the flower from her hand. Her eyes are already glazed and she reaches out for him. He steps away just enough to grab the berries he’d spotted but she catches up to him, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply. Landry can’t help but kiss back, he’s always been powerless against Bernice’s kisses. Even under the influence of the dangerous flower, her lips are addictive, and her kisses are intense. Their tongues clash, an
Bernice’s POV6 months later“Oh, my goddess, Bernice!! You look gorgeous!!” Jessie squealed as she ran into my room.I stood in front of my mirror wearing the most beautiful wedding gown I had ever seen. It was designed by the best designers around the kingdom. Jessie wouldn’t let me get my dress from anyone different.I couldn’t believe that today was the day that I was marrying Landry. I never thought this day would come. I kept my long hair up and away from my neck; I wanted my mark to be seen by all eyes as I walked down the aisle to my love. My wedding dress was strapless and hugged my curves perfectly, expanding around my waists and flowing in smooth and delicate fabrics around my feet, expanding outward. There were white flowers decaling the fabrics and a couple of white flowers entwined in the curly locks of my hair.I felt like a princess; this must be how Jessie feels all of the time.Jessie, of course, looked gorgeous in her light pink dress.“I’m honored you chose me to b
Bernice’s POVI couldn’t get back to the palace fast enough. As soon as I got through the front doors, I could smell the scent of my pup. He was in the living room with Caleb.Caleb sat on the couch with my pup in his arms; he was laughing and speaking in the baby which made me smile. Caleb looked up and gave me a wide grin.“We were just bonding,” Caleb said fondly.I chuckled as I made my way over to them; Landry stepped beside me to get a better look at our son and I could feel his breathing out in relief. I knew Landry would be pleased that he looked exactly like him. I could feel his heart growing in size as he stared down at the small pup.“He’s incredible…” Landry breathed; he reached out to touch the pup’s cheek, running his hand down the side of his face. “He’s beautiful.”Tears were welling in Landry’s eyes; my heart was feeling so full at that moment. I was so happy to be with my family once again.“He needs a name still,” I tell him. “I wanted to wait for you.”Landry thou
Bernice’s POVI could already hear the music from the ceremony booming through the city. This wasn’t a place to take a baby. I turned to Caleb and handed him my pup.“Can you take him to the palace?” I asked. “I need to find Landry and congratulate Jessie, and then we will come home.”“Of course,” Caleb said with a fond smile as he gladly took my pup from me. “See you soon,” he said, turning away and heading in the direction of the palace.I smiled fondly as I watched him walk away. After a moment, I turned back in the direction of the ceremony and went toward the music.I had to admit that it was incredibly overwhelming. There was no way I would ever get used to this many people in one place; there had to be hundreds of people at the ceremony. Not many noticed me as I shoved my way through them. A couple of them gasped as they got a glimpse of my face, and I heard some murmurs that I was Landry’s Omega.I certainly didn’t like being called Landry’s anything. I wasn’t his property. Bu
Bernice’s POVI can’t remember the last time I slept that well; it’s been ages. As I opened my eyes, the sun shining through the window nearly blinded me. I winced, feeling a small headache brewing in my temple. I sat up in bed, staring around the fairly plane room. This was another smaller pack so the packhouse was also on the smaller side.I could smell coffee brewing from downstairs, causing my mouth to water. I hadn’t had coffee since before I was pregnant.Wait.Oh, my goddess!I look down at my bed and saw that it was empty.My pup was gone.With a racing heart, I slid out of bed quickly and ran out of the room. I couldn’t get downstairs fast enough. Someone had taken my pup and they were going to pay for this.I didn’t give anybody permission to…“Caleb?” I gasped as I entered the kitchen.Caleb sat at the kitchen with a plate of breakfast, coffee, and my pup in his arms. I stared at him with such disbelief that he broke out into a grin.“I didn’t want to wake you,” he said. “I
Landry’s POVIt’s been 24 hours since Alaric has been killed. It took a few hours for his men to clean the mess of the vampires and go through all of Alaric’s stuff in the layer. There wasn’t much to find other than Alaric’s plans to take over the werewolf territory and eventually work his way to the bear territory.He knew that not all his vampire issues were solved, there will still be vampires that want to defeat the wolves, and there will also be bears that would want to defeat the wolves as well. But at least his biggest problem was done for right now.He could finally breathe; except for the fact that Bernice still couldn’t be found. His Beta had reported moments ago that they have checked 4 packs so far and Bernice wasn’t in any of them. She still had him blocked from their mindlink, so he couldn’t reach out to her.A nasty feeling formed in the pit of Landry’s stomach. What if she doesn’t want to return home?“Don’t be stupid,” his wolf hissed. “Of course, she wants to return
Landry’s POVCaleb stood trembling with blood splattered across his body, standing over Alaric’s dead body. Landry was amazed that Caleb had that much courage and managed to kill Alaric.Caleb looked utterly defeated, and yet he also looked relieved.Landry knew this was a lot for a 15-year-old to take in.He placed his hand on Caleb’s shoulder, reassuring him that he was there and that he was going to be okay.“We still don’t know where Bernice is,” Caleb cried. “She has all of us blocked. She won’t know that Alaric is dead.”He was right and Landry would be lying if he said he wasn’t also worried about that. But for right now, they needed to clean this mess. There will be other vampires after them once they realize their lord was taken from them.“Alpha King!” His Beta shouted in a mindlink. Caleb also looked up, indicating that he could also hear the Beta speaking. “You need to come out here… something is happening!”Caleb and Landry exchanged wary looks before departing from the l
Third Person POVAt a young age, Caleb had learned from his father how to break into safes. He wasn’t sure why that was a skill his father had taught him, or how his father even knew how to do such a thing. He never thought that type of skill would ever come in handy; until now.It didn’t take him long to get into Alaric’s safe; once he had it opened, there was only one thing inside. It was wrapped in this maroon, silk cloth. As soon as Caleb touched it, he knew whatever was inside was incredibly sharp. He could also feel the dark magic consuming it. It gave him an uneasy feeling.He didn’t think this was something he should be holding; but somehow, he knew that this was the key to defeating Alaric.He unwrapped the object to uncover a dagger. It was an interesting dagger made entirely of silver. The handle was maroon with golden swirls, just like everything else in this room.Caleb was sensing a theme.This was what was going to kill Alaric once and for all.“You thought you were cle
Third Person POVThe layer was dark; Caleb had to squint his eyes in order to see properly. Even with his wolf’s eyes, it was difficult to navigate through the dark halls that to what felt like nowhere. There were no sounds that indicated any life within the layer, and he wasn’t sure where the halls ended, but he found what seemed to be an elevator in one of the darkest corners.His heart was pounding violently against his chest as he stepped into the elevator. He knew already it was going to lead him down to the layer where Alaric has kept his sister for torture. He doesn’t think he was going to find Bernice down there, but he feared for what he was about to find.As the elevator doors opened, he stepped into a dimly lit room. The walls were lit with candlelight; everything seemed to be made of concrete and smelled of mildew and rotting flesh. He nearly gagged at the stench.Still, there were no sounds indicating that there was anybody down there. Could Alaric really have left his la
Bernice’s POV“Talia…?” I said again, forcing myself to sit up and ignore the dizzy feeling that washed over me. “What… what are…” I couldn’t even get the words out of my voice.She continued to cradle my crying pup in her arms while staring at me with a grin spreading across her face.“You didn’t honestly think that Alaric would let you go that easily… did you?” She asked with a fake pout. “You are pathetic to think otherwise. I’m just glad I don’t have to pretend to be your friend anymore.”“It was you the entire time?” I asked, my word quivering. I could hardly believe what was seen before me.How had I not known that it was Talia this entire time? I have lived in her house for almost a month; she showed me kindness and helped take care of me. But it was only so she can get my baby.“Sorry to disappoint you,” she said. “But I must be leaving now.”She turned away as I started to feel my wolf growing furious from within me. She was no longer going to be quiet; she was about to lose
