Mazelina: The Legend of The White Wolf Prologue
I miss my Gran terribly, especially during these dark times. Grandma Juanita used to sit on the edge of the piano bench and tell tales of ‘The Legend of the White Wolf’ when my siblings and I were kids. Gosh, she could tell a great story; she could transport us to worlds we could never have fathomed even as kids. She had a beautiful, imaginative mind. One day, my little brother Blaze and I were walking home from training. The kids had teased me. Asking me why I even bothered showing up for training at all. When wolf shifters turn ten, their wolf announces themselves and we can shift for the first time. I’m now twelve. My wolf is called Samara. Sam is what I call her. She is my best friend. Unfortunately, I’m forbidden from shifting and because of that, the kids think I’m a freak and should leave the pack. I wonder what they would really think. If I showed them. But Mom and Dad would skin me alive, and Sam says it’s for the best, even if she’s itching to teach those kids a lesson or
Mazelina: The Legend of The White Wolf Chapter One
MazelinaI stare at myself in the mirror in wonder, “Look at us, always hiding who we truly are” Samara, my wolf has been bitter about hiding our true selves for a while now. She thinks it’s time to show our pack. But dad, our Alpha does not agree.“Sam, stop it. You know we have to be cautious.” I chide. Not that I blame her entirely. I know we could do so much good for the pack, but I must obey our Alpha.As far as anyone in my pack are concerned, I’m an embarrassment to our Alpha, my father because I’m unable to shift, which brings embarrassment to the wider community and other packs. I know there’s a method to his madness even if Sam doesn’t like it, he’d much rather have me ridiculed and teased than dead. I mean, what’s the use of an Alpha’s daughter if she’s unable to shift? It’s completely unheard of.“Little do they know,” Samara mutters. If Sam had her way, she would burn everyone to the ground. “And we could do it too”I smirk at us in the mirror. “That was an accidental disc
Mazelina: The Legend of The White Wolf Chapter Two
MazelinaMazelinaIronmaw, I swear every misfit reject from the other packs above is in Ironmaw. They know how to party, and I’ve been to werehyena parties. Ironmaw kills it every time.But you never stay at the party long. These guys are maniacs. They love sex and violence and, above all, get completely annihilated on drugs and alcohol.And for the record, it takes triple the amount of human alcohol and drug intake to get shifters drunk. Imagine a half-human with all our strength and no inhibitions.I felt like showering a hundred times a day for a week after visiting them. But it was one hell of a way to lose my virginity. I did it out of spite of my father. I was Nineteen and concluded that I would never find my mate, not with this lie hanging over my head, so I got high and with some random guy.“Two Maze. Two random guys and it was the best night of our lives”, I shake my head.“Samara, you are going to get us in trouble one day” “Ha! Says you. I had complete control of us.” “Ar
Mazelina: The Legend of The White Wolf Chapter Three
Mazelina It’s been a long time since I was here at The Moon King Pack, and it hasn’t changed much. Each pack has thousands of wolves, except for Lonecrest, NightStar and, of course, Ironmaw, who have under a thousand wolves in each pack. To say that it was a shock to hear The Kings have a female shortage is an understatement, considering the pack contains over 5000 men, women, and children. Funny how they send the halfers to the back of the lands instead of the front entrance. It’s a long trek to get to this ridiculously over-the-top tent. They still don’t want us sullying their territory and yet they want our women. I roll my eyes. Maybe Gran really was clairvoyant, maybe the Gods and Goddess are punishing the Moon King’s. “If you continue rolling your eyes, you’re going to make us dizzy,” Sam chuckles. I take a piece of fruit from the largest fruit platter I’ve ever seen in my life, more like a fruit friggin’ table. “Do these people take notes from television series or what?
Mazelina: The Legend of The White Wolf Chapter Four
Mazelina Course after course arrives from oversized plates of meat to vegetables, nuts, and fruit. “There’s so much food,” Sam says with sorrow in her voice. “I know and I bet this will all just go to waste.” “I know what you and your wolf are thinking,” Blaze chuckles, “And I agree it is a great waste of food.” Still, we all eat because heaven forbid that anyone insults Alpha Gaius or the King’s. In between meals, Alpha Gaius addresses us, with the usual ho-hum of speeches, ritual poems, and performances. I try to prolong dessert, but of course, time gives me no mercy and speeds up. Usually, Blaze escorts me, but tonight Dad has decided it’s his turn. Blaze gives me an apologetic look. Guess I have no choice but to go on this archaic mating hunt. I look around and find there are five groups just like ours and we are all escorted to the edge of the forest. The forest looks dark and foreboding, just the way I like it. To humans, it would be a nightmare, but to creatures like u

Mazelina“What is the meaning of this!” Dad shouts, “You cannot force my daughter to accept your son!” he continues to my surprise. Dad has always pushed me to go to these events and now??My head is spinning. I found my mate…… I repeat it over and over in my head because it’s just so unbelievable. “I will force no one to do anything they don’t want to do,” Gaius says calmly. They continue to argue back and forth.I feel like I’m at a terrible tennis match mixed with terrible political dialogue and all of it is at my expense. I can feel myself vibrate with anger. If they continue, Samara might shift on me, and we’ll all be in trouble.“Come with me.” Rush whispers. His scent washes over me and instantly calms us down.I gaze up at him. I’m not sure if I should be alone with him. Samara is utterly unhelpful; she’s totally blissed out, drunk on his scent.Goddess, she is even loving the fact that he hasn’t let go of our hand. She loves how his breath tickles our neck and his scent. Jes

Mazelina “Is that true?” I ask, suspicious of both of them. “It is,” Blaze says. “Alpha Gaius told us of his plan. The problem is they will never accept you as Luna and Alpha Gaius know it. They will ridicule you every single day for the rest of your life under the King Pack or worse, they’ll kill you. I don’t know what Gaius is playing at, but we will not allow this.” Dad’s shoulders slump. “They killed my first mate here.” Both Blaze and I look at Dad in shock. “What?” “Before your mother, I had a mate. My father changed the law like Alpha Gaius is attempting to do now. My father wanted me to be Alpha to the King Pack. I was the only male, and my father did not want to lose the Alpha line over an outdated law. But no one accepted my half-blood mate as Luna. It became a constant battle for months. Instead of being Alpha and doing pack business, I was fighting for her acceptance. I had to have three warriors with her at all times.” He looks away in shame. “It was a little over a y

Rush Kali takes Mazelina to her room right away. The pull between us is so strong I feel the need to go to my mate, to be alone with her. I know she’s confused. I can feel it, taste it all around her. Somehow, I have to convince her to not reject me. “RUSH!” Dad thumps his fist on the table. I look up, surprised that we’re the only two left. The library is one of my two favourite places to go for privacy, it’s why I bought her here. No one really comes in here. “Where did Alpha Eric go?” “To his rooms. You haven’t heard a word I’ve said, have you?” he rubs his chin painstakingly, “You must persuade her she belongs here”. “Why is this so important to you, Dad?” “Are you questioning your Alpha?” he growls, his Alpha tone making me almost buckle at the knees. “Of course, not Alpha. I’m just surprised. The Pack Law says.” “I say.” He stands thumping his chest with his fist, “I say what is the Law, not you, not The Guardians. You will convince the shiftless bitch to stay. You will ma

Mazelina: The Legend of The White Wolf Epilogue
Four months later Landon Nobody knows the sorrow I have for Estelle. Not because I still love her; strangely, I don’t love her at all. I don’t even hate her. Instead, I feel sorrow for my son, who will never know his mother; however, despised she was, Estelle was still Jeremy’s mother. I watch him sleep soundly in his big boy bed. It’ll be our last night at our home. I quietly exit his bedroom and slowly close the door so as not to disturb him. “Are you ready?” Flora asks; this woman has been a blessing. “Yes. Jeremy is sound asleep; I have everything packed and ready to go.” “Good. Let me know if you need anything. I’m on call.” She taps her head and walks to my front door. “Thanks again, Flora.” She takes my hands in hers. “Eva was my only comfort in that horrible place. I will do anything, absolutely anything, to get her back.” She grins broadly, “She’s gonna love you.” “Flora, let’s go already.” Elion gripes. I wave goodbye to them both. I chuckle to myself, remembering E
Mazelina: The Legend of The White Wolf Chapter Fifty-Two
Rush Everyone is cheering. Mazelina did it; she defeated the bitch. I look down at our daughter. “It’s okay, baby girl. Mommy won.” Charlotte shakes her head and points up at the sky, “Mommy is falling.” I look up and see Maze is shifting into human form and falling fast. “Catch her!” I command the dragon’s; the order is unnecessary as they’re already flying to grab her. One dragon, Brenton, catches her. He swiftly shifts as he lands, holding Maze in his human arms. “Thank you, Brenton,” I tell him as Alice takes Charlotte from me, taking her to Akers with the other children. Fenrir is already on the ground, his brothers and sister holding him down while Landon guards them with a few other guards, keeping Fenrir’s Coven from taking him. Brenton lays Maze slowly, carefully to the ground. Samara comes to our side. “I don’t understand. This should not be happening; the balance is restored.” “She took a dagger to the heart, Samara. We’re not all completely immortal.” I tell her as I
Mazelina: The Legend of The White Wolf Chapter Fifty-One
MazelinaSomething hits me hard. Howls, snarls, and screaming are all drowned out by a powerful explosion. My vision turns a blinding white and then dulls slowly until my eyesight goes black. The constant ringing in my ears is what pulls me back; I can’t hear anything else. My heart is racing, and yet my breathing is calm. I open my eyes slowly and see stars; no, not stars, it’s like little white spots. I must have hit my head pretty hard.I realize I am on my back and see the starry dark sky as the white spots slowly disappear. “What the hell was that?” I touch my head; under my fingers, I feel a large lump growing smaller and smaller. Soon it will be gone. I turn my head and see Samara staring back at me, our fingers almost touching. “Samara?” I call for her inside my head.Tears run down my cheeks; I’m so used to hearing her. Please talk to me, Samara. She doesn’t answer. I stare at her glassy eyes. No! She can’t be gone; this was supposed to work. Samara’s eyes blink at me, and sh
Mazelina: The Legend of The White Wolf Chapter Fifty
Mazelina“He’s close.” I tell Samara, but before she can answer, we see the new addition to the room. A table, not like the pretty dais Samara’s body is currently laying on, except this one has straps. “We aren’t going to make it. I can’t shift.” “I’m sorry, Mazelina. All of this is my fault.” Samara cries.“We will not cry, Sam. We will be strong till the end.” I feel a little bit stronger and decide I’m not going down without a fight. I struggle out of both of the Vampire’s arms.Vamp One’s head slams against the stone wall with a loud crack, his face frozen in a permanent grimace. Vamp Two tackles me to the ground.“She’s going to shift!” he screams out. Another pair of arms hold me as they pick me up. Geri grins at me, his fangs out, ready to bite me.“Do it. I’m sure your brother would love you to bite me.” I sneer.“Be careful what you wish for, little wolf.” His grip loosens, and I knee him in the balls. His breath whooshes in my face, but he doesn’t let me go, “Dirty trick.

RushChaos, it’s all fucking chaos.Sally and I are blocked from the stairs once again. Sally pulls me along to look for another route only to come against more men and women of the Coven.Everyone is fighting, and I’ve snapped more necks than I care to count. I just want to get to Mazy.“We’re surrounded,” Sally yells: we move back-to-back, waiting for one of them to attack.“Take it easy. Wait.” I tell Sally we need to wait; Blaze and his people are coming. “Wait for it.” I change my stance, ready to strike when out of nowhere vampires jump from the windows above, something dark flies in front of me, “Blaze!”I watch the Vampire grin with satisfaction, holding Blaze’s heart in his hands before crushing it. Rage so hot bursts through my veins, I don’t know how I got in front of the vampire so quickly, but one minute he’s six feet in front of me and the next I have his own heart in my hands, his eyes widen as he stares at his own heart before his body slowly turns to ash.Sally is sit

Rush“Everyone’s in position,” Elion tells me via mind link.“They’re taking her to Samara’s body. Mazy’s body is weak from the potions. She cannot shift.”“Where’s our bloody Moon Goddess?” Elion growls.“We have never relied on her before. We can’t start now. As soon as Loki gives the signal, we pounce.”“Aye, aye, Captain.”Always and forever the smartass. I have Landon and Elion at two different entry points. Skoll and I are at the other two. I can feel my pack’s energy rise, making my hackles stand on end. I glance up at the full moon.“I don’t know where you are, Moon Goddess. We need you.” I pray at the Moon.“I hope she heard you,” Bain growls: he has been even more restless than I have, eager to bring our mate home to our baby girl.“We can’t lose faith now, Bain.”I glance around at our pack; some have shifted into their animals; others are still in human form. Those still humans have powers they cannot summon when changed into their animal. Fenrir and his Coven have no i

MazelinaSamara is quiet again. Fenrir remains unconvinced and started ranting for hours about bringing her back. He kept going back to her body and shouting at her as if she were alive. It took him a while to realise that Samara had stopped communicating with him. That sent him off the edge again.Fenrir went into a rage, pounding at the walls, screaming things in a language I don’t understand until finally, he dragged me back to my room.It’s been hours since I saw him, or anyone for that matter. But now there’s a flurry of movement outside my door and noise outside my window.“Rush,” I whisper into the darkness.The cell door swings open, and two vampires rush at me, “Come on.” Vamp One grunts as I struggle to get my arms free. I will not go willingly.“You will have to kill me before I let you drag me back down there.”Vamp Two chuckles and tightens his hold on me. “I could arrange that.”“No. You will not harm this woman.” Fenrir commands, making all of us freeze in our place.“Y

Rush “We have the numbers. We will get her back.” Landon reminds me again. He and Elion have been taking turns making sure that Lotty and I are alright and reminding us that Mazelina is okay, and we will get her back. But I’m struggling. It’s been a week, and every day Lotty is crying because she can’t talk to her Mommy. For the first time in my life, I’m scared. I’m afraid to lose my mate, and I’m fearful for my daughter and what will happen to her; if one of us dies, the other will follow. I watched it happen to my mother right before my eyes. I don’t want this for Lotty. “Stop doing that. Lotty will have both of her parents.” Elion claps me on the back. “You remember when I had to kill my father, and my mother immediately died after,” I tell him. He nods solemnly. “I know, brother, but it’s not going to be like that for you and Mazelina.” “No?” I look out over our pack. We selected the perfect spot to rest for the night, tomorrow will be the battle, and all I can hope is that
Mazelina: The Legend of The White Wolf Chapter Forty-Five
Fenrir The girl is infuriating. I know she’s lying to me. Samara is telling her so much more than she’s letting on. But I have another card up my sleeve, one that will even shock Samara. They will both see how deadly serious I am about bringing my beloved back to me. After three flights down to the underground, we come to the most secure part of our home. There are no guards down here. It is that secure. Only two people in this world will know what is beyond this door, me and now Mazelina. I enter the encrypted code, the retina scan slides out and scans my eyes, next is a pinch of my blood, another code, and the door unlocks. The entire castle could blow to smithereens, but, this room is impenetrable. It could outlive me if I weren’t immortal. Mazelina shivers behind me, “My apologies, I sometimes forget how cold it is down here.” I take my coat and drape it around her shoulders. She smiles appreciatively, likely thinking that I’m kind. She is only but the vessel of my beloved. I
