Killing edge
Last Updated:
2021-11-07 16:22:52Lucas's eyes glowed red as Deacon tried to explain Alina's injuries, and he felt a frisson of fear dance along his spine seeing the Alpha so close to the killing edge. The fates came to his rescue then, in the form of an injured Queen as Alina coughed, trying to get up. Lucas's eyes swung around to collide with Alina's as Sam appeared out of nowhere, fussing over his friend.
"Leave her!" The Alpha growled, moving with a speed that belied his size, and Sam hurried back into the safety of darkness.
"What happened?" Alina groaned as she gingerly felt her forehead. There was an egg the size of Texas there, and the world spun every time she moved. Then she caught sight of the man standing beside her, and the universe collided, combusting into heat as she'd never felt before.
Oh no. That could only mean one thing. Against all the odds, in the vast expanse of an unforgiving desert, Alina's mate had found her.
The pull to him was incredible, and although she'd be

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

The sheer size of the beast meandering towards them made Lucas stop and really assess the situation. Alina got ready to launch herself, but he stopped her. This fight was his."Whatever happens, if he gets by me, I need you to run and don't look back. Promise me, darlin', I need to know you'll keep yourself safe?"'Retreat' wasn't a word in Alina's vocabulary, but the look on Lucas's face was enough to make her pause before answering. "He really loves me," She thought with wonder and nodded her assent; Lucas breathed a sigh of relief. With fluid grace, he spun and pivoted right, using the fake step to phase into Kallen, and the monster launched itself, meeting Kallen in midair as a clash of titans began.Alina saw it fully then and gasped in fright as Kallen wrestled with an Olitiau. Cave demons were legends used to scare young children into staying in bed at night; at least, that's what Alina thought. The creature screeching in anger, though, was very much real

Sam saw the moment the giant man exited the caves, carrying Alina over his shoulders. The other three wolves were already inside the dank caverns, but he'd hung back, knowing there was nothing he could do to stop a rampaging bear. It didn't take long for Sam to realize who the shifter was. Axle carried Alina through the central cave opening, looking furtively around, assuring himself that there were no secret ambushes in wait. Satisfied, he quickly loped out of the immediate area, and Sam cautiously followed, unsure of how to reveal himself.The sun was high before Axle stopped for a break, and as he gently lay Alina down, her eyes opened, puzzlement showing clearly."What happened?"Axle was sitting to her left, sharpening a stick with the pocket knife she gave him for Christmas. He looked up with furrowed brow on hearing her voice.Then Alina looked around, her gaze landing on her friend, then searching further, as if she had sought someone else. This w

The heat started four weeks later. In the gilded cage that her father kept her, Alina woke to find her skin on fire. Everywhere the blanket touched, her flesh screamed with agony, and all she could think of was sex. Calliope howled in her mind, firmly in the grip of her own heat, and Alina tried futilely to bend the bars to her cage. Damn silver!! The sizzle of skin connecting with a werewolf's kryptonite had her jumping back in added pain as Alina's breathing grew more labored. When the first howl rang out downstairs, Alina ignored it, too aroused to focus on anything else. The moment paws clambered up the stairs, and her window smashed through, her whole world imploded as she realized why there was so much noise. Guards rushed to surround Alina's cage, taking a defensive stance as unmated wolves poured through every entryway, and she realized they'd all come for her, smelling her heat, wanting to claim a princess. Somewhere in the bowels of the castle, Alin

By the time the man put Alina down, it was halfway through the next day. She was miserable. He delighted in caressing her body as they traveled, teasing her with firm strokes on her thigh and feather-light kisses along her hip until Alina felt sure she was going mad. On the last leg of their journey, as the temperature dropped, Alina finally learned his name. " Cyrus Lincoln." It was a small concession, but she took it gratefully. To know a man's name was a thing of power, and in this game, Alina needed all the advantages she could get. Luckily Cyrus seemed to like the sound of his own voice, readily revealing details of his pack and the outlay of his camp after stopping to rest, a handful of miles left from their destination. They were well outside the royal grounds, and though she couldn't move or walk on her own, Alina tried to leave an object or scent wherever she could, knowing Axle wouldn't be far behind. "I heard about you, even as far as my pa

Lucas ordered the car to stop inside Royal territory, waiting for the border patrol to find them. He didn't need to wait long. Wolves the size of cattle ran as a single unit approaching the vehicle in impressive formation, and the leader transformed at the window, his aggressive stance warning Lucas to stay where he was. Before he could try to explain why four rogues were in their territory, though, an unlikely person came to his aid."Shawn, how's the Mrs?" Sam piped up from his seat in the tray. The giant male did a doubletake, "Sam, is that you?"Sam jumped deftly out of the back, landing on the ground beside the guard with a grin, "It is my friend, these men are with me, guests of the princess. She sent me to retrieve them for a special project three days ago. We got here as soon as we could." He lied, grinning widely, selling his story. Shawn's brow furrowed in confusion, "Ah, that could be problematic."At Sam's questioning look, Shawn hung his head in sha

"I'm sure Dad had his reasons."Alina's jaw dropped when Kane dismissed her kidnapping as if it was a minor misunderstanding. The young man stood, regarding her outraged expression before shrugging his shoulders, "Sorry Luna, but I don't second guess the Alpha's decisions."Let's just wring his neck, Calliope growled, and Alina agreed, if only there weren't so many witnesses. But the townsfolk had become emboldened by the two of them simply standing in the street and started coming up to introduce themselves. Alina was forced to smile and talk to the wolves and their families, all eager for an audience with the "new luna," many knowing already that she was a Deveraux. They were friendly and extracted promises from her to visit their homes or businesses in the oncoming days, something Alina had no intentions of doing, but nevertheless, years of training as a Royal prepared her to give the appropriate responses, and by the end of it even Kane looked at her with

Lucas and his team arrived in Wolf Haven just on dusk. He'd pushed the pack (And Sam) hard once Kellan picked up Alina's scent, and they were all a little worse for wear as they bundled into the tiny motel they'd chosen for the night. It seemed like a nice enough town for a tourist; the usual souvenirs decorated shop windows and plenty of vendors plying their wares under the canopies lining the streets. As they unpacked their supplies, Deacon checked the hotel for any sign of the bear. One thing the King ordered was that Axle not be harmed. As it turned out, the giant man was Alina's bodyguard and best friend, so any thoughts of revenge for leaving Lucas to his fate had to be put firmly out of the Alpha's head; this didn't mean that Axl and Lucas wouldn't have words, lots and lots of words when the timing was right. A knock on the door signaled Deacon's return, and as the Beta closed it after him, a somber scowl plagued his face. "The Wolf Haven pack are well g

Queen of the wolves Burn for you
Lucas was near the waterfall when his heart began the now familiar burn, his mark searing the skin on his neck as his wolf's pain brought him to his knees. It was always shattering. At the same time every moon cycle this pain grew so intensely he'd become accustomed to seeking solace away from everyone except the Goddess herself. Alina was coming into heat. Lucas knew better than to hope it would be a quick mating for her and in a strange way, a small part of his heart felt closer to his mate during this time, although it killed his wolf to know she was sating her desires with someone else.Lucas sat down on the mossy bank, taking deep breaths as his wolf howled in agony. Kellan whimpered and writhed around inside the human body that betrayed him, calling for the Queen's wolf, but as always, his howls remained unanswered, and eventually after Lucas's limbs were contorted and every breath was labored, his torture bared to the very Goddess who had chosen his mate, Lucas finally passed o
Queen of the wolves Harem
Eight years later. The little boy looked over at his sister, smiling as she floundered in the long grass. "Come on Medeve, if we're caught by the guards, Mom will kill us!" The little girl growled and sped up, catching her taller twin as he entered the forest near the kingdom. There was an abandoned cottage there that Medeve and Ashton loved to play in, even though Mom didn't like it. Giggling to themselves as they ran quick-footed through the underbrush, the little prince and princess failed to notice a figure lurking in the shadows. She'd been watching them for some time, assessing their tracking skills and how fluidly they phased from wolf to human and back again. Now she had her chance. As the giant black wolf launched herself from darkness into the path of the young ones, they had no time to evade her mighty claws and sharp teeth. The beast caught them both effortlessly. "Aw no fair!" Ashton screeched, wriggling out of her claws, and Medeve quickly followed suit, wasting no t
Queen of the wolves I do
I saw the moment my beautiful mate came into view, and like clockwork, my heart began hammering inside my chest. Eve always had this effect on me, but tonight? It was a thousand times worse.We were at the church, and dozens of candles lit the way down the aisle straight to me. Every pew had bums sitting on them, and a human celebrant waited with me for my bride to walk down the aisle.Shifters have mating ceremonies, and Eve wore my mark proudly, but humans have this thing called a wedding. I'd read up on it in the pack library, and they exchange these things called vows and wear rings on their fingers to prove their loyalty to their mate. At first, I was horrified at the idea of wearing a leash on my finger, but I've made my peace with it, and thanks to a little help from Katana, the rings I picked out now burn a hole in my pocket. I think our way means more and is way more straightforward, but I want to show my mate that I value her ways too.Deacon led Eve t
Queen of the wolves With every beat
There wasn't a dry eye in the house after the King was buried, and although the traditional feast was in full swing now, Alina felt strangely empty. After searching the room for Lucas and finding nothing, Calliope was whining and running back and forth in her mind insisting something was wrong. Alina was trapped by society's rules dictating she remained on her throne until the party ended. If she left to look for Lucas now, the whole palace would know something wasn't right. Sighing in frustration, she gazed upon her subjects, feeling more alone now than she had ever felt before."We need to go now," Calliope growled, charging the locks on Alina's mind, struggling with all of her power to break free. Realizing that she was about to lose control, the Queen told her uncle that she felt unwell and raced out of the hall. She transformed before her feet even hit the grass, and running blindly, Alina gave herself over to her wolf.Hurry, must hurry!Calliope ra
Queen of the wolves Human customs
I was as nervous as a child before his first shift as I waited for Eve to meet me down by the water's edge, it was such a giant leap to ask her what I wanted to, but if Deacon was correct, then this was their true purpose, to stay in Wolf Haven and make a home. I spotted her straight away, my perfect vision in blue, as Eve hobbled towards me in a cute sundress with a wide-brimmed hat. She smiled as she finally made it, and with a sigh of relief, she collapsed on the other side of the picnic I'd bought. "It's been a lovely day," She grinned before I'd had a chance to get two words in, but I didn't mind; Eve liked to talk, and I wanted to listen. It was one of the many things I loved about my mate. "Well, tell me what you got up to then?" "Katana showed me the children's defense school. Did you know they had one? Anyway, this little girl called Molly, and she only has one arm, but boy, oh boy, can she defend herself! And, oh, guess what, Axl? The kids a
Queen of the wolves Goodbye
They were there in their thousands to farewell the King, and as Alina descended the stairs, she couldn't help but notice that there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Marcus helped her to the horse-drawn carriage that would take Alina to the family cemetery, and when the footmen signaled, the horses moved, trotting in unison as they began their brief journey to the Deveraux plot.She felt cold, Calliope whined inside Alina's mind, wanting to be rid of the human skin and run alongside the carriage in her natural form, as the Queen's guard did, but she held onto her control knowing that this way was how the people expected her to arrive.All too soon, they were there, and the Queen alighted from the carriage, taking Marcus's hand as he guided her down the pathway towards her father's final resting place. Lights flickered, leading the way down the cobblestone path, and as Alina looked to the end, she saw the six council members there, to bear witness to Elijah's final journey
Queen of the wolves Let's take a chance.
Jason may be a giant of a man, but as Katana led Eve into the defense school, he was the first one to offer Eve a hand. She accepted it gratefully, and with him holding a bulk of her weight, they wandered through the school."I see Molly getting better every day," Katana complimented, and Eve noticed the big man's cheeks go red, as he quietly replied, "Aye, Miss Molly has a gift for sure, and a fiery temper to match." As if on cue, there was a loud commotion in the next room, and Katana disappeared, leaving Jason gently guiding Eve around all the objects underfoot."I can smell that you're human," he offered by way of conversation, "We could use a human female around here. The kiddos would benefit from a gentler touch than what Lady Katana, bless her, can give."They entered the next room to find Katana holding a bigger boy by his feet while keeping Molly at bay with her leg, and Eve's mouth dropped to the floor, witnessing such an appalling way to deal with chi
Queen of the wolves Women are fearless.
Eve hobbled down to the waterfall later that day, after Axle had strapped the ankle again and fussed over her like a mother hen. If she'd let him, he would be here as well, but Eve wanted to see where her new friendship with this warrior woman was headed. Axle had a way of "protecting" her from all things shifter-related, quite often scaring people off with his larger-than-life personality. Truthfully, Alina was the only one he ever seemed to let his guard down with, and if she didn't watch them with her own two eyes, Eve wouldn't believe half the things those two got up to. It was such a shame that they weren't on speaking terms right now. Eve knew Axle was hoping that by finding Lucas, he could get in Alina's good graces again, but they'd arrived too late for that too. Eve perched on the same sun rock she'd sat on earlier, gazing out at the perfection in front of her. Wolf Haven was a sight to behold, alright. All along the island, there were small crops of houses where pa
Queen of the wolves Long live the King
It was awfully quiet in the King's chambers, and Zoe, Eve's younger sister, tentatively knocked on the door with breakfast. When there was no answer, she knocked again, not wanting to disturb the King's rest. After several minutes of indecision, she gathered her courage and opened the door. At first, all Zoe saw was the rumpled sheets where Elijah should be, then, walking further into the room, she noticed a still from underneath the window.With a shocked gasp, Zoe raced to his side, checking for a pulse, but the clamminess of his skin confirmed what she already knew, the King was dead. Getting to her feet in record time, Zoe raced down the hallway, reaching the staircase just as the Beta climbed the last step."Whoa, hold up there. Where's the fire?" He grumbled good-naturedly, but Zoe burst into tears, launching herself into the Beta's arms."He's dead," She sobbed, pointing towards the King's chambers, and Marcus let her go, sprinting into Elijah's room.&nbs
