Elena POV

My eyes shifted from silver to lavender to blue, staring at Ryker leaning against my door frame. I didn't have the energy to deal with him again. My head leaned to the window and tears slowly ran down my cheeks.

Ryker clenched his jaw so tightly his molars would crack in half as he watched me.

He slowly walked in my room, then lowered himself on the window seat by my feet. He watched every muscle in my body, careful he wasn't about to make me dive into a violent attack from him being so close to my body. He knew I was pissed and that he wasn’t someone I wanted by my side. He also knew I was falling a part.

When I didn't move or protest, he grabbed my thighs and pulled me slightly forwards so I moved away from the wall. My swollen red eyes shot to his, unsure what he was doing. He looked back at me with a look of pure defeat. We stared at each other a moment in silence, then he moved behind me and pulled my back into his arms.

"I'm so sorry, Elena." He whispered, then kissed

    Nate POVI woke in the middle of the night on a pile of leaves in the woods. My body burned for my mate, fearing this is what it felt like when you lost one. I searched my brain for anything to help me find her, or at least who took her. Then I remembered Tyler's pack's dungeons, I hadn't searched there. I jump to my feet, shifting into my wolf, running at full speed to Tyler's territory.I reached the prison and the guards waved me in. I was in charge of all the pack's prisons so it was not unusual for me to be here. I made it down to the cells and the guards tried assisting in whatever I needed, but I just needed her."Did any guards bring in a female prisoner anytime yesterday to now?" I asked the three guards stationed at the tower."Not that I know of, but doctors are constantly in and out of here so who knows. I started my shift about three hours ago.""What do you mean doctors are constantly in and out of here?""Uh... just like I said. A bunch of prissy snobs come prancing in

    Elena POVI woke to the smell of sandalwood and fresh rain and knew he was still by my side. My head rubbed into his chest working it's way to the croak of his neck. Even though it was a common way wolves showed affection, I rarely felt the desire to express myself to someone that way. No one except Serenity ever nuzzled me either. Well no one except Serenity until I met Ryker that is.His fingers gently traced the curves of my body. We felt the completeness we gave one another in each other's arms. "Good morning, princess." His sleepy voice spoke sending shivers down my spine. I was positive there was no mood of his that would make him less sexy."Good Morning, Alpha." I returned with a smile. We both molded into each other, wrapping ourselves around the other's bodies. I could lay here forever and feel like I lived a complete life.My door bursted open and Helena came in huffing. "Get up princess, you are in enough trouble. You can not been seen with him in your bed."I giggled, the

    Elena POVI burst through Nate's bedroom door with a bag around my shoulder and fear coursing through my veins. I didn't know who was hurt, but I knew it was someone close to Nate. Nate shot up from his bed growling at the intruder, then quickly retracted his fangs noticing it was just me. He was on edge about something. "Thank the goddess you're here. Please help. I need her. Please."Nate engulfed me into a tight embrace and tears flooded out his eyes. He was holding back for so long but seeing me standing there with supplies and worry in my eyes, he just let the gates come crashing down.I rubbed his back, shushing him quietly as he lost control. My eyes never left the woman who slept so still in his bed. "Nate, it's ok. Whatever it is we will fix it. Okay! Just tell me what you need. No questions asked, I promise." I remembered his text.Nate pulled back giving me a loving look. He wiped his tears and cleared his throat. "Sorry. I've been going crazy, unable to barely breathe. I

  • Queen of Wolves   Training

    Elena POVI rushed into the gardens already 20 mins late for training with Ryker. I couldn't explain to him about his sister yet, and it was killing me. He needed to know she was ok and I could give him that peace. Nate made me promise not to tell him though. I knew Hope would wake before the end of the night and decided I would give them until nightfall to tell him or I would do it myself. We had just promised each other no more lies or secrets. Nate and Hope were mates, and Ryker her brother. I had to give them a chance to figure out whatever they needed first.As I approached my god like creature, lazily leaning against a statue with grey sweat pants and white tshirt my heart began to flutter.'Davina, please calm yourself. I can't get this turned on the second I see him. We need to be better than this.''Please, we want his rough hard body pressed against us whether we see him or not. We are 18 now, so every inch of our soul wants to be pleasured and filled. It has nothing to do

  • Queen of Wolves   French Toast

    Elena POVI ran into my room changing quickly while cursing Serenity wasn't here. I needed to find her! I was basically on house arrest and I didn't know where she was. "Princess, what are you wearing? Wait, that is backwards." Helena walked into my bedroom dumbfounded at my appearance. My hair was a mess and my blue dress was clearly on the wrong way. "Fuck! I can't even dress myself." I tore off the dress then pulled it back on the proper way. I unsuccessfully ran a brush through my hair getting it caught more times then smoothing it out."Ok, ok. Sit child and let me tend to you before you somehow hurt yourself with that brush."I huffed wanting to protest I could do it myself, but I was too frustrated between Serenity not being here and my fight with Ryker I couldn't seem to do anything right. "Thank you Helena. I'm late for breakfast and Serenity is gone. I don't know what to do.""It's ok. Serenity will be back. You two have been joined at the hip since you were little kids."

    Chris POV"Let's move onto more important events." Luna Theresa chimed in seeing the perfect opportunity to take the attention that, yet again, her daughter seemed to be stealing. "We have arranged for both Damien's Alpha ceremony and Ryker's packs induction the same day. All the council men will be here and we can officially link both Alphas and Betas to the council. Despite some minor set backs everything seems to be working out.""Yes, your induction ceremony Ryker. Have you thought of a name now that you will part of the high council? You can keep Night Shade and just add moon to the end or change it all together." The King's anger had seemed to disappear as his voice was filled with excitement.Ryker looked to me for confirmation before speaking. 'It's too risky.' I told him in our mind-link.Ryker thought it over for a moment then spoke with pure confidence. "Yes sir, I actually have the perfect name. We would like to be name the Shadow Moon Pack."The King thought it over then

    Damien POVNate needed me and now that Elena was probably in the dungeons I was literally all he had to help his mate.I gently knocked on Nate's door before slowly opening it. I pushed the door open then covered my eyes. "It's just me. Are you clothed? I don't want to be scarred for life." Nate's hand slap me upside the head. "Get in here, idiot." "Hey that hurt. I even brought you guys food and this is the thanks I get." Nate snatched the food and laid it on his dresser. My playful smile fell as Nate resumed pacing next to his bed instead of tearing into the food. He always did this when he was lost in thought or stressed. "Brother, you need to eat. She will wake soon. Elena got her all hooked up and she is already looking much better." It was true too. Most of the color was coming back to her face and her smaller wounds were healed."I know. I just need her to wake. Fuck! I never needed to hear someone's voice as badly as I need to hear hers right now." "Wow! I see the mate bo

Hope has been missing too long and Chris was barely around any of our packs anymore. I was losing my children. I saw Ryker and Chris storm out of the dining hall and I decided to follow them. I was appalled listening to Ryker so upset about the princess' safety. How could he kill her if he got this worked up at the thought of her being hurt. The goddess's would not forgive him or our kind.I waited for Chris to finish speaking with Damien then cornered him back into the library."Uh, I'm not sure what your deal is servant but you can't just drag wolves alone into dark corners." Chris acted amused that a little old woman was trying to manhandle him."Shut up Christopher. I'm not in mood for your mouth or tantrums. Get in the hole. We need to talk." I ordered losing my patience with this whole world. "

    Damien POVElena and I stayed in her room hiding from everyone. We had so much drama in these few short months that we were both on edge."Oh, Elena dear. Why is Alpha Damien here?" Helena walked in rubbing her head confused.Elena looked to her sensing something was off. "Are you ok?" She asked."Fine my child. Just seem to have misplaced some time. I guess I'm getting old, no worries though. Would you like me to bring you some dinner?" Helena smiled and her eyes held that soft motherly innocence that we hadn't seen in so long."What do you mean, misplaced time?" My tone let my Alpha aura slip through. I knew something was off and I didn't like it. Not just for Helena sake, but that she was so close to my Queen."I don't know exactly. I woke in the pantry earlier and feel like weeks have passed. In truth, I don't remember being here in the castle that much the last month or so. Like I zoned out or something.""Or something." I growled. My eyes went blank for a few moments mind linkin

    Serenity POV"I can't believe you came here, Nicholas. It was foolish and you could have been killed." I huffed in aggravation at my mate."Well, it was worth it because if I didn't we wouldn't be together. I know you had every intention of leaving me." He pouted."I did not!"He gave me a look telling me he knew that was a big fat lie. "Ok, fine, maybe I was thinking about it, but it hurt like hell." I punched him in the shoulder before getting out of the car."Awe! What was that for, beast?" He whined, standing next to me by the front door to our house."That was for making me like you so much. Now what are we going to do about him?" I pointed to the door where my father was close by waiting for us."No clue. Let's just wing it, I guess." He said, grabbing my hand and leaning closer."Wing it? You have gone rogue little witch boy.""I'm not that much younger then you S and I didn't go Rogue. I was born a witch and always will be.

    Elena POV"I'm sorry S. I was such a foolish child. I can't live without you. Please forgive me!" I pleaded."Seriously, I should be begging you. I lied to you your whole life. You're like my sister, my only true family. I should have told you everything years ago."We stayed in each other's arms for a long time, apologizing over and over. "Ok, I think we both agree we are sorry and forgive each other. Come sit with me and tell me everything." I pulled Serenity to my bed and we laid down side by side.We spent an hour catching up from Serenity's true heritage to meeting her father and unlocking her powers. She even mentioned a certain boy, Nicholas, but pretended like it was nothing. I told her about Tyler's betrayal, my father and Luna Marissa affair in both the bedroom and with experimenting on species. I went on about my love for Ryker and that I finally lost my virginity, which of course Serenity wanted all the details of. I gushed telling her about how Nate and Hope found each

    Serenity POVI waited in the small village all night unable to find sleep. I missed Nicholas, but I knew nurturing our bond would only cause more pain. Once he realized the life we would have, he would reject me. Right now, I needed to focus on saving Elena and my friends. Hearing Chris say that Elena and Damien were searching for me filled me with so much happiness. I spent months away from everything I ever known. I thought the people I loved, hated me. That they all viewed me as a traitor and a filthy witch. Now I knew they love me too and I used that to push me forward. I dressed in a long elegant green and beige dress. My dark skin seemed to glow and my black hair was half up with lose curls. I masked my powers from my witch heritage, but didn't lock them away. If I needed to fight I would be ready too. The herbs I gave Chris were harmless, and I prayed he didn't figure it out it until it was too late to do anything about it.I hid myself in the crowd, watching Elena and Damien

  • Queen of Wolves   My Regrets

    Ryker POVI tore apart the forest in my wolf form, taking down one rogue after the other. I could tell which ones were feral beast that spent years losing their humanity. I wasn't sure if this was a way to release pent up anger or some offering to the goddess that I could still help our kind by ridding those that harmed others. I cursed our goddess, but still felt a devotion to her. My wolf was at odds with me, wanting to take complete control, but I wouldn’t let him have it. He would run back to Elena then we would all die.The words Elena spoke of my betrayal kept replaying in my mind. Her eyes held no longing or compassion for me anymore. Her love for me vanished and I feared I would never see it again.~ "There is nothing between us Ryker, not anymore. You broke my heart and betrayed my loyalty. Leave and don't return." Elena's voice echoed over and over as I tore the Rogues limb from limb.My wolf argued that she didn't understand the dangers. That we needed to capture her and b

    Hope POV"Oh thank the goddess. Where have you been, mom?" I gave her hug but scolded her for leaving my younger siblings alone. "I was at the castle. After everything that happened I ran back here. Ryker stripped Christopher of his Beta title. He can't do that. We can't let this family fall apart. He is too invested in that damn girl who just crowned Tyler as King."Nate growled at my mom for speaking so disrespectful of Elena. "You will watch your tongue about our Queen. I'm done playing by the Shadow's rules." Lucian came forward and we could both feel the immense power radiating from his aura.I took a second to swoon over his power then smacked his shoulder. "Enough, this is my mother, you will not growl at her, understood. As far as Ryker and Chris are concerned they can sort their own shit out. Right now, we need to get our people to safety. Go pack a bag mom!"Nate smiled at my bossy tone and my mom looked between the both of us about to speak, but retreated to her room inste

  • Queen of Wolves   Flee

    Nate POVI looked around the forrest, looking out to our pack house, my home in the distance. This might be the last time I saw these lands. I let out a long sigh then turned and left. I shifted into my white wolf, grabbing my bag in my mouth and headed to Hope. Lucian was desperate to see her. He needed to sense our pup growing inside her. It filled me with a new purpose that I couldn't wait to fulfill.When I arrived to the Shadow Moon's territory people were running around like crazy. I didn't bother shifting to ask what happened though. If there was danger then I couldn't wait another second to find Hope.Her scent grew stronger near the cells which made me let out a ferocious growl. Elena told me she was taken prisoner, but I didn't actually think Ryker could put her in a dungeon. At that moment, I no longer cared who the Alpha was or what anyone's rules were. I was getting my mate and we were leaving to do this our own way in this world.Two large men guarded the cement doors.

  • Queen of Wolves   Banished

    Meredith POVI watched the ceremony from a distance with a shattered heart. Everything we worked for was for nothing. Both my boys defied the goddess and now all the Shadows would feel her wrath. I didn't want to admit it, but I was growing fond of Elena too. This new life she was about to lead would be one of a loveless marriage filled with nothing but to please others. I was sad for my son mostly. As much as I wanted them apart and I knew Ryker loved her. This could break our Alpha and our family. Too many secrets have lived between us for too long. I rushed back to the castle to change back to my body. I needed to be there for my sons when they returned home.I left Helena's body in the kitchen's pantry with enough sleeping potion to keep her knocked out for a few hours. If I wasn't able to return I at least wanted Helena to have a chance to get her life back. Elena was going to need her and her husband truly loved her. Helena was a good person and she made a good life here in t

    Elena POV"No father! Please don't do this! It's a misunderstanding." I grabbed my father's shirt, kneeling before him, begging him to not kill Nate. The King's eyes turned black then back handed me across the face. The entire crowd gasped at the sudden hit he gave me across the face. They screamed for their Queen to not be harmed by the Savage king.My father cursed at his rash behavior. He knew he couldn't let his emotions take over, but everyone knew he hated to be challenged. I needed to do something."You want to be Queen, then kill this traitor and the crown is yours. Show our people that you will protect them." The King took a blade from a guard and handed it to me.I wrapped my fingers around the blade and the King took his seat. He knew I had to do it or I would lose the faith of our people. I looked out to the crowd in a panic of what to do.I slowly walked to Nate, giving Ryker a look of disgust. This time he caught my eyes and a sharp pain of guilt ran through him. I stoo
