Nari
I was seemingly dropped at this hell hole at birth . The dump for unwanted pups , or Mrs Lightly’s orphanage for the unfortunate . Total fucking unfortunate , with no heating or staff . Just Mrs Lightly and her two scumbags for sons .
The same Mrs Lightly that has been making my life hell for almost seventeen years . Turning a blind eye when her darling sons would be totally inappropriate towards the girls, or just outright abusive towards us all . She is a short dumpy woman in her late forties , she has horrible brown fuzzy hair and always smelled of boiled fish and spinach . Not to mention her horrible brown stained teeth .
The elder of the scumbag duo is Travis , he is in his mid twenties. He thinks man vests are totally acceptable even with food stains going back years . His mullet hair style in the same colour of his mommy dearest’s crown of fizz is ironically the same colour as the teeth that he has left . Travis has an unhealthy mummies boy complex , and an IQ of pond scum . His ass is always on show , hanging out his jeans that fit when he was at nursery school . Travis was more perverted in an openly learning kinda way .
While the younger of the Lightly boys, Conrad , had a darker aura and an evil side that was not to be ignored . Just turning twenty Conrad openly hated most people, especially his mother . Unlike his elder brother Travis , he preferred to openly cause fear especially to anyone smaller . Conrad’s hair is a more dirty blonde , it fell over his face giving him a more sinister look . He gave off the feeling like you might find him in the corner torturing animals , something am sure the pups wished but no . Conrad's favourite thing to torture was someone weaker and smaller . The only thing the three had in common was their almost black beady eyes .
Mrs Lightly always said the reason I never got adopted was due to my bad attitude and in her words i looked weird . I was born with white hair and two different coloured eyes . Seemingly my mother was human , in the eyes of most in this shit hole of a pack humans are the lowest of the low .
I couldn't wait to turn eighteen and get my wolf . I know she's there. I can feel her , I turn seventeen in two weeks . Not that we celebrate birthdays in this place , well unless it's me or Jannie the cook that bakes a cake for the younger ones . There are twenty five kids here , I am the eldest and have been here the longest . That's all I know but I can't wait to leave and explore some of the world .
I am currently standing with one of the other unfortunate cases in here , Psalm , a six year old little girl who was recently dumped here after a rogue attack that killed her parents . She's a little shy thing with huge blue eyes . I hated how they were just dumped and no one helped to settle them in . I always tried to help make them comfortable and reassured . Reassuring them was basically telling them lie’s , let's face it everything was not going to be ok and no one really cared . I was the unpaid staff who cared , well as much as I could .
Conrad liked to make my life hell and if I mentioned it to the Ma’am as she liked to be called , I would have been the one to start it . I have always said when I get the chance they will all pay for every punch , kick ,spit and everything else they have done to me . Travis never lifted a hand to us , unlike his mother and brother . No Travis liked to look at you , especially in the shower room or your private space . I once woke up to find him sitting on the end of my bed . After that I would move my set of chest of drawers in front of my door .
For the past three weeks I have had Psalm in with me , she is like my shadow . I often wonder how the Ma’am gets away with it , the Alpha visits once a year more out of duty . If I am honest the pack is a joke , the few times I have been to the market for Jennie I have overheard the people talking about things . From what I have heard the pack is not happy , the Alpha and Luna live in luxury while people are struggling . It really doesn't surprise me though , who would let children live like this .
I have been whipped more times than I care to remember . Sometimes it was just , sometimes it was to stop one of the younger ones getting it . I would take the blame , at this point it really didn't bother me . I would zone out and plot my revenge , ways to torture and kill the three of them . I often worry when I finally leave who will take care of the little ones . Jennie tried her best but she's getting old , she's been here longer than me . I often wish I could take all the others with me but I know I can't . I try to make myself feel better by telling myself surely if I get rid of the three scum they will need new people to run the orphanage .
The first time I can remember being punished , I was about Psalm’s age , we had not been fed for two days . The Ma’am had been on one of her binge drinking episodes with some dirty old wolf . I had stolen a bread roll from the kitchen. She caught me and took a leather belt to my hands . Back then there were a few older ones who like me took care of the younger ones . At some point I need to look after myself. I have taken so many beatings and punishments to save others . I know with every passing day my temper and hate for these people and this pack will eventually be my downfall .
I have no regard for authority or the feeling of needing to submit , even to the Alpha or Luna and definitely not the three scumbags who have been making my life hell since day one . I had never really cared what people thought of me or how the hierarchy worked , I knew I should .
As wolves we live in packs and there was always a chain of command . On the few occasions I have attempted to run away I would be dragged in front of the Alpha and get the talk . I had been beaten within an inch of my life for blatant disrespect as I rolled my eyes at him and refused to bow . At that point I had no idea why but I just refused to . That day of that beating I had been taken to the infirmary as I had lost so much blood . When I woke up, I was surprised to find myself there . The doctor who looked after me for the first few days kept asking how I got the scars and lashes on my back . I knew even if I told him he wouldn't believe me so I just stayed quiet .
On the third day the Ma’am came to take me back. She was not happy I had been away so long as I had to care for the others . The distaste the doctor showed for her made me laugh , she really thought she was better than everyone . He had tried to stop her from taking me back , saying I was not ready to be discharged . Of course she took me whether he liked it or not . After that attempt I decided to give up my escape plans and do my time .
That's how I am still here , still taking care of the pups . But the time is ticking now , not long now until my birthday then i was on my way . Or so I thought .
NariI had been cleaning for the best part of three days , the Alpha’s annual visit was due tomorrow . The Ma’am has been bossing all us unfortunates around to get the place clean . Psalm was still in with me at night but had started to come out her shell a bit through the day . She carried around a small stuffed bear , it was all she came with and she never put it down . Most of the other kids were pleasant enough and looked after each other . I had been scrubbing the stairs for the past four hours. Scumbag two aka Conrad had kicked the bucket over and when I had punched him in the stomach the Ma’am had taken the brush and replaced it with a toothbrush . I didn't care, really hitting that jerk was worth it . The only problem was that she had poured more chemicals into the bucket of fresh water and my hands are now suffering. They will heal being a wolf has its good points . Being as stubborn as I was I would never let it show so just continued .There was no way I would allow her t
NariAs I am walking down the two flights of stairs, holding onto Psalms hand I am mentally kicking myself for my rash decision to hack off my hair . I can hear Mrs Lightlys fake laugh at something the Alpha has said .Taking a deep breath I turn the corner and stop , cringing at the sight of her trying to flirt with her hand resting on the Alpha’s arm . I decide to straighten my back, lift my chin and deal with this head on as I do with most of my wrong choices . The laughing stops as her eyes land on me , the look on her face has definitely made it worth losing my waist length hair . Both Mrs Lightly and the Alpha look absolutely furious with me . “ What the hell have you done to your hair ? you stupid girl “ she half whispers half shouts , as she drags me by the elbow into the small lounge at the side of the staircase . I almost fall over my own feet as her and the Alpha push me through the door . I have to say I feel triumphant , I can't help but smirk to myself . I rip my arm
Prince KuratThe disgust I felt at the sight of the woman that ran the orphanage and the Alpha was unexplainable . She smelled disgusting , I had never been to this pack before and I doubt I would be back . Driving through the pack was definitely an eye opener . This Alpha , is clearly loving his riches decked out in the best of clothes yet his pack looks like it's falling down the buildings are in a bad state . My beast is unsettled , I could feel him trying to come forward . I was just thinking of going back to the car when she appeared . She was slightly taller than most she-wolves , her hair as white as snow . It's her eyes that have me staring , she has two different coloured eyes , both green but one an olive and one almost mint both bright . She must have noticed me staring , I have no idea why but she looked pissed at me . Then i fucking insulted her , mentally slapping myself when she slapped me across the face . I was so shocked that she had slapped me I just stared at he
Nari The castle is huge , I am finding it hard to take in the place . We were only just through the door, we were standing in the entrance hall , when he asked if I would like a tour of the castle . Asking where I would like to see first I just knew a place this grand would have a library . I have no idea why but I feel calm in his presence , almost safe . I am lost in my own thoughts when we are interrupted by a female. She was pretty , her brown hair hung down her back . Her brown eyes kept flitting from the prince to myself . She had an air of entitlement about her , beta or gamma blood perhaps . She looks me up and down, her eyes landing on my hand on his arm . The look of disgust as she demands to know who I am, has me wondering who she is . As the prince walks away from her after a quick introduction i can feel his anger its strange it's as though its my own . Asking if he's ok , he just smiles at me , I am taken aback at how handsome he is with a smile on his face , I just
Prince KuratI am so confused , leaving her room I am feeling things i have never felt . I head straight to my own room , I am a mix of emotions that are alien to me . I can still smell her scent very faintly and it has my beast surfacing , he wants to go back through to her room and claim her . I have five other females to spend time with , I have two Alpha's daughters , one Beta's daughter and two daughters of high ranking warriors . By tradition they are more suited to the title of Princess . My mind each time I think of marking someone my beast is flashing snips of Nari , her eyes are unreal . I decided to have a cold shower then look for one of my brothers . After the shower I mind-link to my brother Ratnik , ‘ Hey , you about for a chat?’ . ‘ Hey , you're back . That was quick . Ye sure am in my private gym .’ Throwing on some sweat pants and a t-shirt , I head down . Entering his gym , Ratnik is topless throwing punches at a punch bag , covered in sweat . I could see by the
Nari I find myself being so confused but seriously turned on by Kurat’s behaviour . The fact I have spent all morning training in his top that comes down past my knees has me smiling .I could feel holes being burnt in the back of my head from the other females . My body is screaming out in protest of the training . I am sweating all over , breathing hard . I lift the bottom of the t-shirt to wipe my face and notice him staring at my body with a frown . I feel extremely self conscious and drop the top . We were just finishing when his brother appeared. I felt myself wanting to submit and bow to him .Kurat was not happy by the fact I had bowed , this man seriously confused me . His brother seemed nice enough . He smiled and was pleasant , he was tall and handsome but not as striking as Kurat . I am lost in thought admiring the sharp edges to his jaw and dark and moody look he has . It's only when she opens her mouth to talk , It feels like someone has thrown a bucket of cold water
Prince KuratMy beast is in a furious mood , having to leave the library and Nari has him wanting blood . She looked sad that i had to leave , If i am completely honest i wasn't happy about it either .I could feel the steam rolling off me as I stomped my way down to the games room . People would see me coming and get out the way , I didn't blame them at all, I was known for my temper . Slamming the games room door open , I notice the two guards holding the females apart . Of course Frah was one of the females , this she-wolf is turning out to be a right pain in my arse . Noticing me she pulls away from the guard and runs to me in a fake show of being afraid . Mentally I roll my eyes , her fake tears dont work on me . Looking at the guard , he just shrugs his shoulders . The dramatic female goes to throw her arms around me , I step to the side and growl at her .“ Do not touch me .” . The silly female froze , realising her mistake . I could smell her fear , I smirked to myself . Sh
Nari Last night I had the best time with Kurat , we ate and laughed for hours . I woke up this morning and I couldn't wait to see him . I decided to put something a bit more covered up today . Even though I enjoyed having his scent around me it was a bit restricting at times training with his t-shirt on especially since it stopped below my knee . I was just about to put my shoes on when there was a knock at the door . I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my face and the butterflies in my stomach . Shouting “come in.” I continued to put my shoes on , his scent hit my nose before my eyes landed on him . Kurat walked in with a pair of grey sweat pants and a black vest on , his hair was pulled back into a man-bun . His silver eyes sparkled as he greeted me. “ Good morning Nari , ready to get your butt kicked ?” I couldn't help but laugh . “ We will see , I feel stronger today .” He just burst out laughing . When I stood up , he looked me up and down, finishing at my eyes . I j
EpilogueNariAs I stand and look at myself in the full length mirror I know it’s me but the change in me is unbelievable. I have curves, my eyes are bright and my skin holds a glow it never had before. Having the baby took its toll on my body, Arculus was a big lad. I can't help but smile when I think of my boy, he is getting more like his father everyday. Thinking of his father causes butterflies in my tummy, at times I still can't believe I am mated to the dark prince himself. My Kurat, who would have thought that the same guy who I slapped is the same man I now can’t live without.My hair has grown a bit, it’s now long enough for an updo. My tiara sits tucked into my fancy updo, my father told me this was the very tiara my Grandmother wore for her coronation, the same Grandmother who died trying to save me. Reaching up I touch the beautifully designed crown that sits atop my head, I wonder as my fingers graze the emerald stones if she would be proud of how I grew up? I wish I cou
KuratWe have had so many strange things happening since Gideon left, our borders have been getting hit. Someone is clearly looking for the weakest point. Kendrik and I have been running the fence line together at night before bed. However this is the first time they have managed to breach the wards my mother and Mystique had put in place. The minute the pack alarms sounded I knew this was going to be a nightmare, but keeping my mate and kids safe is all that matters.I am so glad Ratnik is now here, he is one of the best Generals of our time, his hand to hand combat is amazing. Saying goodbye to Nari was hard but I know both our fathers are with them and my mother is incredibly strong and will protect them.I have been shouting orders through the pack-link to our warriors, shifting into my Lycan as we get a mile from the border. The air changes and my Lycan starts to growl, the pack-link goes quiet. Turning from side to side I realise both my brother and Kendrick are in their Lycan b
NariNo, No, no this can't be happening I think as the baby starts to cry clearly being woken by the alarm. My room door bursts open and the girls rush in with wide eyes “Nari, what's happening?” Hada screams as Psalm and she clings to my legs.“Hey, don't panic, we will find out what's going on” I tell them hoping I sound braver than I actually felt. The knock at the door comes as a guard shouts “Princess Nari, we must take you to the bunker at the King's orders” He calls through the door.“Get the door please, Hada” I say as I scoop up the now screaming Arculus and head to the now open door and two guards that are waiting. Gavin, my normal guard stands and I hand him my baby as I take Psalm in my arms and follow them down the stairs.We met my father, and Kurt's parents at the bottom of the stairs. Mama takes the baby and Tynan takes Hada and we follow my father to the back of the palace where the bunker is located. Trying Kurat again I am met with silence and my worry is hitting a
NariIt's been almost two months since Arculus was born, he is such a good baby and the joy he brings to the palace is unbelievable. The girls have been amazing with him, Hada is a proper little mother with him. Psalm is the cutest, I find her talking to him when she thinks no one is looking.My father has surprised me with being so hands on with him. He refers to himself as Pop Pop. He likes to take the baby walks in his pram around the gardens so I can get some rest or do some more training. Mystique and Gideon left about ten days ago, seemingly they have a lot to prepare for. My heart goes out to my best friend. She has so much to do before facing her father. I know she is powerful, but the fear in her eyes will never leave me.Kurats parents are arriving back this afternoon with Ratnik. We need to arrange the Royal offering, this is much like the human version of a christening. We offer up our young to Selene and pray for their safe journey through life until she welcomes them bac
MystiqueThe minute the little king was born I felt it, the power, the connection, the prophecy has been put into motion. Gideon felt it, we both woke at the same time. I have known for a long time what was expected of me, what my father tried to stop from happening.The second Arculus was placed into my arms, the twines of fate were already at work. The power coming off this little bundle of pure joy was stronger than even mine. His aura was strong with the same purple glow of his mother.He is the first of the four, the king to the north. This means if we go by the Prophecy the king to the south is next to be born. Judging by what Bastet told Nari the date has been chosen, that also means he knows where I am.The day Gideon stumbled into our Tribe I knew he was mine, that the Goddess’ had got together and somehow decided to save me from the life of hell I had lived since the day I was born.Gideon was powerful, he intrigued my father. That's why he allowed him to stay on our lands, t
NariArculus, or the little king as everyone calls him is such a good baby. He was born at a whoopin 12 lbs 4oz. He is the image of his father, except this white stripe through his hair. I just love him, I am still in my baby bubble.I haven't had the chance to talk to anyone about the visit from the Goddess. I feel like I really need to tell Mama, she is the one person who knows so much about magic and everything to do with it but I feel like there is something she isnt telling me but i'll talk to her when we are alone.I have been breastfeeding but if I am really honest, I don't think I have enough milk. My son is a big boy, a big hungry boy just like his father. Speaking of his father, Kurat should be home soon. I just lay the pup down when a knock at the door has him wake back up; fuck.Cradling my son to me I go to the door, pulling it open. I almost cry at the sight of my best friend. “Mystique! Oh my, I can’t believe you're here. How did you?” I grip my bestie with one arm as I
Queen EulalieSince the moment Tynan and I arrived in the northern Kingdom we have both been busy. Tynan has been working with Ezekiel and Kurat, while I have been fussing over Nari. My first grandchild is giving his poor mother a hard time.The first time I saw her when we arrived I was shocked at how big she was, her tiny frame. I spoke to her doctor the second day I got here, they honestly don't think she will be able to deliver the baby naturally. In true Nari style she is determined to try.Three days ago while I was checking on Nari, she was sleeping so I was quietly tidying around their room when a small tug, at my magic. It was him, my first grandchild, he has magic and because it’s the same as mine it was drawing it from me.I couldn't stop myself from smiling, he recognised me by our family bonded magic. He is a strong little mage like his uncle Gideon. Gideon started like this, little tugs on my magic. His brothers hold a little but Gideon is powerful, more than he even real
NariPoor Kurat is a mass of nerves, since I was put on bedrest. He has refused to leave the immediate grounds or be any further than ten minutes away. We have just arrived at the hospital, Mama is dealing with my stressed out mate. I am in pain but I also know my Lycan is taking the brunt of it. Getting taken to the delivery suite I was seriously shocked at the changes that has been made. I look at the nurse, she just smiles at me “Your father, your majesty” She says. I just smile and allow her to help me get changed into my gown ready for the little king’s arrival.I can't help but smile at my mother-in-law when she winks at me from behind her son. Kurat takes the seat at the side of me, taking my hand. The pain is coming every few seconds, I am working through my breathing.Within ten minutes I was ready to push, the doctor had checked and I was now fully dilated ready to push. Even with my Lycan taking the brunt of the pain I was really starting to struggle. The need to push was
Prince KuratNari was put on bed rest last week as she is massive and our pup is due any day now. My parents have been here for the past week, my mother has been fussing over Nari. My Father has been working on creating a stronger alliance with Ezekiel, It goes without saying that we have each other's back but for the sake of the elders they are having it all documented. I won’t lie, I am terrified of the thought of our pup being here, just as much as I am excited. I watch Nari take everything that has come her way and she never moans, or feels sorry for herself. And when I say she's huge; I mean she is massive.I have settled into my life here, Ezekiel is a great teacher. He has taken me under his wing showing me all the way this kingdom works. I think he is more excited about the pup’s arrival than anyone else.The girls have settled into the school, they have mixed age classes so they don't have to be separated. This helps as they really don't like to be apart. They have been help
