Queen of the wolves

I was born into royalty and groomed to be a Queen. Little did I know the wars that would start because of my family, or the lives that would bind themselves to mine. Other children have cats and dogs as pets, but not I. For my fifth birthday, my dad got me a bear. His name is Axle and although I didn't know it at the time, he was a shifter just like me. Axle was sent here to protect me, and quickly became my confidante, my best friend. I don't think I would have made it through everything and come out on the other side if Axle wasn't there encouraging me to put one foot in front of the other. But anyway, welcome to the start of my journey to become the Queen of the wolves... "Axle no! I was only joking!" I couldn't help myself, I just started to laugh, knowing full well it wasn't proper or ladylike to entertain a giggling fit in front of guests. But how could I not? Axle was dressed in a giant pink taffeta tutu, and ballet shoes, trying

She was my best friend but boy what a handful. Princess Alina was a free spirit, and I always had to keep my wits about me when it came to her wild ways. I have lost count of the many times she has given me the slip over the years and her father had chewed my ass out every single time. But I wouldn't change her for anything.Today we were out on the front lawn of Alina's home. She was dressed ready to punish me, her beautiful long hair tied up in a very unsexy plait down her back, and she wore no-nonsense black training pants and a black singlet. I think that's what I love the most about her, despite Alina's unrivalled beauty she didn't have any sense of grandeur, preferring to watch from the sidelines rather than be in the spotlight. A more humble Queen in waiting you wouldn't find that's not to say she didn't have a temper though, and right now I was bearing the brunt of it. Her green eyes flashed with emerald fire as she dug a finger into my chest, ramming her dis

She ran like the wild beast she was, tall and proud, racing the wind as fast as her four legs could carry her away from the betrayal of her father; how could he?Calliope stretched her legs and let me watch from the background as she lengthened her pace, eating up the miles as the woodlands loomed closer. I gave my wolf full control as the last piece of my heart broke at Daddy’s declaration, knowing I could never go back home after this. There was nothing left for me behind those walls now.I ran without thought, instinctively making my way through the trees like a well-met friend as the palace grew smaller, and with it the ties I had to the throne, I was done with this life. There was only one person in the whole world who had stayed loyal to me, and almost as if she knew, Calliope bought me to his little cabin and allowed me my skin back so that I could talk to my best friend. Axle would know what to do.There were clothing drop po

Lucas felt the moment his mate got hurt. Pain arced through the rogue Alpha's body like lightning, bringing him to his knees as they continued toward the Nightstalkers. His wolf tried to push through the human skin, wanting only to go and kill whatever hurt her, but without knowing where she was or even what her name was, Lucas knew he would be wasting his pack's time. If anyone could find answers, it was Deacon, and since he was backtracking on a recon mission anyway, the only option was to wait. Stick to the original task and trust that his beta would deal with whatever was going on.Regaining his feet, Lucas returned to the head of his pack. The whole convoy stopped, waiting for their Alpha to sort his shit out, and knowing this band of rough rogues and exiled wolves needed a strong leader, he shouted aggressively, telling them to get moving. As they broke into a run, eager to get to the Nightstalkers and out of the rough environment, Lucas forced himself to set a punishin

Alina tried to ignore the gorgeous man beside her. His authority and caring attitude for his pack were hard to wave away, though, and when the Beta volunteered to go into the caves first, she noticed the concern marring his features. Gazing over at Lucas, Alina wasn't surprised to find him staring back."I'd like to remove your gag, darling, but I'm not up for a rejection right now, so if you give me your word, we're all good; if not, well, I guess you remain silent while we get to the bottom of where my pack is."Alina nodded her head once, indicating that Lucas could trust her, and surprisingly, he removed her gag."Thanks." She mumbled, rubbing the side of her jaw, and Lucas smiled, causing those damn dimples to make an appearance."Just take some time to get to know me," he implored, "If I'm not your cup of tea after seven days, I promise I'll accept your rejection, and you have my word I won't try and mark you without permission?"If Lucas was
