Mia’s POV Every seated royal has that one the death they ordered or performed that never leaves them. For my Father it is his best friend, Joshua. For me it will be my cousin, my Uncle’s only heir, Jasper. My father saw the daggers and called him out. The Guard holds up the daggers. The only choice I have is to kill my cousin. Since it is him I can’t order someone else to do it. I have to. The walk to the place the guards are holding him is the longest walk I’ll ever make. I know my father wants to be with me, or my brothers, but I am the Queen this is something I have to do. I stand with my back straight and shoulders back. “Any last words?” I ask standing in front of him. “No cousin,” Jasper really thinks reminding me of our shared grandparent will save him. *********Flashback************June 30 1991“You and I are not friends,” I remind my little cousin. “I am a Lycan and the next queen you are an Alpha wolf.”“We are cousins,” Jaspers demands. “Sharing one grandparent mean
Mia’s POV“You okay baby?” Zeus asks me. “I want Cain in a cell,” I say emotionless. I don’t have a choice but to shut down my emotions right now. My brothers move to carry out my order and I hear Cain fighting them. But even a Alpha wolf is no match for Three Royal Lycans. “Mia I’m here when you a ready to talk,” Zeus tells me. “Go find Savannah and find the copper injections,” I tell Zeus.“Terry and Athena are on it,” He rubs my back. I nod and lead him to Cain’s cell. “You are my nephews,” Cain spits at the boys.“What does that mean to us traitor?” Dalton whips him with a silver cat and nine tails. “Your own niece you plot against,” Colton sneers and pours wolvesbane on his open wounds. “She needs to learn respect,” Cain screams in pain. “Respect is earned,” Apollo punches him in the face. “And you haven’t earned it.”“Did you prepare the copper?” I ask. My brothers ready round two. “Yes, Jasper didn’t want me to, but I can’t lose my son,” Cain yells. “Your son is dead
Amanda’s POV“If he wants Mia dead you would be next,” I tell Apollo who is getting ready to join the search. “He doesn’t know me,” Apollo tries to lie, but he is the worst liar. “Your face is everywhere,” I tell him. “Love, I have to help,” Apollo tells me. “I’m the first born, the best tracker and it’s my job.” “You are an Alpha of the Royal pack,” I yell back. “There are three of us, I can be spared,” he yells at me. “But I love you most,” I yell out then cover my mouth. I never intended to ever say that out loud. It’s true I have always been in love with Apollo and I do in fact love him the most. “Baby,” Apollo softens quickly pulling me to him. “Never say that out loud again.” “I can’t believe I said this time,” I mumble into his chest. “Baby,” Apollo lifts my chin and I see him smiling. “Did you mean it?” I look up at him and pull his lips to mine. He pushes his bag to the side as we crawl on to the bed. My need for him in particular is heavy. “Fuck you feel good,” Ap
Amanda’s POV“Where are you going?” Dalton asks me as I pack my knapsack. “It’s been two fucking months I’m going to get Apollo, Kill Reynolds, and anyone else who gets in my way,” I tell him. “What about the boys?” Dalton asks. “Crystal has them. I’ve pumped enough for a week, and she can fill in the rest,” I tell him. “So you are abandoning your boys to search for Apollo with zero leads?” Colton asks me.“You two are their father’s figure it out. And I have leads. Jupiter has been sending updates between olenander injections. I know they are in Napa Valley in an old winery. There are six abondoned wineries, Mia wants to wait for the next update to serach them,” I tell them. “You get that Mia is waiting for a reason? The more information we gather the better,” Dalton reminds me. “If it was me with Reynolds would you be sitting here waiting for another check in?” I ask him as I head for the door. “Okay fair point, let me come with you,” Colton says. “YOU?” I yell. “Like hell.
Apollo’s POV“Put her down!” I growl. seeing Amanda’s limp body in Reynold’s arms.Jupiter- Let me at him.Me- I need to get to Amanda.Jupiter- I can’t reach Venus.“Who is she to you?” Reynold’s smirk reminds of my Uncle Tyler.“My mate!” I snap.“Oh, so sad,” Reynolds’s smirk becomes a smile. “I just killed her Lycan.”Jupiter- I would have felt that. Venus may be down, but she isn’t out yet.“Give me Amanda,” I tell him.“No, you get me safely out of here and then you get the human,” he tells me.“Fine, this way,” He walks behind me carrying Amanda.“Stop him” I hear Mia yells.“I'll kill the girl. I am walking out of here,” Reynolds snarls, looking deadly.“He has Amanda,” I yell, hoping I can just get to Dalton and Colton. Together we will take him down and save our mate.I see Dalton and he nods holding people back as we pass.Jupiter- Colton is at the exit, or rather Jove is.Me- Tell Jove to stay in control. We might can trick Reynolds.Jupiter- Done.We make it to the exit,
Colton’s POVWe have been searching for three days. I can’t be away from her much longer.Me- Jove, can you get Venus yet?Jove- Not yet and I can’t sense our mate. She is either very far away or deep underground.Me-We are hoping for deep underground. It’s been three days, if she isn’t near here, she could be anywhere by now.Jove- I won’t stop trying to reach her.Me- Good, because I need her.“Anything?” Dalton asks.“Dead ends. Where is our pet dog?” I ask him.“Sniffing, always sniffing,” Dalton and I have never really been allies in anything, but right now we both want the same thing, to find our mate.“It’s been three days and it has rained every night. He is not going to catch her scent,” I say.“He won’t give up, I won’t give up,” Dalton says.“I’m standing here too Dalton,” I remind him.“Boys,” Dad gets our attention. “We need to get back to the palace. We are going to leave Apollo and three warriors. If they find anything they will let us know.”“You mean us, Apollo, and t
Amanda’s POV“Colton,” I press my naked body against his. “Thank you. I know it was you who made the earth move.”“Oh yeah, how?” That damn cocky smirk.“No one shakes the earth like you,” I crash my lips into him, and I don’t care who is looking.“Baby,” Dalton got the first kiss, but it looks like he needs more. I wrap myself around him and he holds me tightly.I pull back to see Apollo. He is tone and so yummy looking. It’s been two months; eight days and I don’t know the hours and minutes because I don’t know what time it is. I unwrap from Dalton, and I don’t care, they are covered in blood.“Apollo,” I almost cry as I wrap around him. Screw almost, the tears are falling so fast they are washing away the blood.“I’m here, baby, I’ll never leave you again,” he tells me.“There is no hot water, but the trophy showers are over here,” Lucas tells everyone.“Let’s get the blood off of us and into something warm,” Evie tells us, smiling at her friend.“Ladies first,” Adam points and we
Terry’s POVJanuary 11, 1995“She is the most beautiful baby,” I say, mesmerized by how strong my baby sister is. “I think she is prettier than Mia.”“Oh, don’t go saying that too loud,” my dad kneels beside me so we can both look at baby Amanda. “I’m going to protect you forever,” I whisper to her.“Can we see her?” I hear Queen Evie ask. I turn to see Mia staring at me. Yeah, my sister is prettier. Dad and I step aside. Queen Evie is pregnant with Triplets. They had better never be mean to my little sister, I’ll kill them. I don’t care if they are royals, this is my little sister, no on hurts my little sister!********July 12, 2000“Mia, I know in a few months you will be able to detect your mate, and I know that as your second in command, I will have to serve him, but what if I am him?” I ask, before I exhale loudly. “Terry, you think you might be my mate?” She giggles. “That would be amazing.”I smile and lean in. She leans too and by the goddess and all her goodness, we
