Zared pov I’m in an unfamiliar forest. It’s unnaturally silent, no birds singing, no squirrel nails scratching down the bark of a tree as they scuttle up and down, no woodpecker pecking holes. Nothing. Nothing except a low slow breathing sound. Paired with the unsettling feeling of being watched. “Gunther?” “I hear and feel it too.” Gunther sounds uneasySuddenly the smell of sulphur and burnt wood assaults my nose. I freeze and hold my breath trying to pinpoint where the breathing sound comes from without giving our location away. “If we shift we’ll be quieter and blend in better.” Gunther whispers, as if someone outside our head can hear him. “The tearing of clothes would give us away.”“It would if we were wearing any, dimwit.” Gunther points out. I quickly glance down and see my naked body. Confusion hits me, why are we naked in an unfamiliar forest? What happened? Was there an attack and did I escape while shifted? Do I have amnesia? “To know you have amnesia you would n
Nomia pov Like yesterday and the day before I wake up by the door closing and the rough maids dress landing on my face. I scowl. This is not a routine I enjoy or want to get used to. “After today we’re almost half done.” Aminta offers but it's not heart felt. I feel her irritation. The whipping is just like yesterday. No crowd, no Jared. Janus wielding the whip is still a bitter pill to swallow. But my heart knows that if he could’ve prevented this he would have. I see the heaviness in his eyes. “If one of those guards or warrior oafs were to wield the whip they might be going all out to prove their loyalty and worthiness” Aminta offers as consolation. Alpha Zared is quite chirpy. I’m not sure that’s a good thing though. There is an unnerving glint in his eye, a bounce in his step and a small smile playing on his lips. I feel a shudder going down my spine watching him. I lie on my bed waiting for Alpha Zared to come and ‘help’ me with the plug and belt. Now I know how
Nomia pov When we enter our quarters we find Alpha Zared waiting for us. His arms crossed, his foot tapping impatiently. His face seems to relax once he catches sight of me. “Garnet, Ruby, Malachite bend over, grab your ankles.” They reluctantly obey, the tension in the room is thick. I feel my breath hitching. What is going to happen to them and what will happen to me if I’m not included in this undoubtedly humiliating act that is about to take place? Alpha Zared steps up to Ruby and throws the skirt of her dress over her back and head. Baring her ass for him and me. I hear Ruby inhale sharply, preparing herself for something unpleasant. Alpha Zared grabs the base of her plug and rotates it in her ass. “Come over here Aurum,” I gulp and step up next to him, How would you remove a plug?” “I wouldn’t know Alpha Zared, my experience is very limited.” My heart is beating out of my chest. I don’t want to hurt my friend. “Lube! Say lube her up!” Aminta hisses “I.. I think I would l
Janus pov For a long time I wanted Jared to suffer for the things he has done to women. But I didn’t anticipate being a participant in his annihilation. Yes, I reported some things to Zared but I assumed he would let Gunther deal with it without involving me. But he ordered me there, making me pass tools. The warning was loud and clear; this will be your fate if you don’t watch it. The upside is that Jared is gone. I don’t have to protect the girls as much as before. Especially not after Zared hacked off Gerald’s hand for fondling an almost unconscious Aurum's breast. He has been a ruthless display of power over the past days. The whippings are without public. The girls scrub the same floor everyday. They cover the kitchen floor four times each day. The chastity belts and butt plugs a constant reminder that they belong to him. Having me whip the girls is one of the the ways he shows his dominance. I don’t want to do it but I can’t ignore the order. I also can’t ask someone e
Nomia povI follow Janus back to our quarters. I feel dirty. My body betrayed me again. Alpha Zared is convinced he did a good job in pleasuring me. “Ooh he did just that, but your heart and mind aren’t in it. He plays you like a fiddle. He places his fingers, you make the corresponding sound.”“Aminta! Stop it! It’s my body! I don’t want him touching it. My body may give the desired reflexes but I’m more than a bloody fiddle.”I feel her moving to the back of my mind sulking.“Don’t wolves care about these things?”“In a different way I guess. We just want the strongest mate. Or the one the Goddess made for us. We’re more physically oriented. I’m sorry, Dysnomia. I’ll try to take your feelings on the matter into account more.”Janus leads me to the dining table. I sit on my chair. I worry that he won’t like me after the way he found me this morning and then this evening picking me up from Alpha Zareds private room. I’m not sure if life without him will be worth living. Janus feeds
Zared pov Over the past few days I’ve put effort into Aurum's training and our relationship. I know she’s probably scared of having my enormous dick inside her so I decide to let her take the plugs out of Garnet, Ruby and Malachite so she can see how well the body is equipped to handle larger things. When I was done with Aurum Iasked Janus to bring Malachite for a fast fuck and a drip of blood. As I watch Aurum walk out of my room, she looks calm and collected. “She didn’t even spare Janus a glance! We’re erasing him from her mind.” Gunther gloats. “After tomorrow she’ll be like putty in my hands. Soon we can ask her to accept us as a chosen mate. We’ll ask about her to submit later, after she’s marked.” I look at Malachite who stands next to the door waiting for an order. Looking at her makes me regret letting Aurum go. “She can handle a pounding without trouble though. We’ll still have to be gentle with Aurum the first few times.” “Agreed. When Aurum is up to speed
Nomia pov I’ve been nervous all day, tonight Alpha Zared will take my virginity. Technically I feel I’m no longer a virgin after the insertion of fingers and fake penile shaped objects. But for Alpha Zared and I presume the rest of the world it’s still a thing when the first penis enters. Lost in thought I tipped a bucket of water over. Soaking the floor and all our dresses. Malachite growls but nothing more. Garnet and Ruby shoot me worried glances. But nobody yells at us, someone throws a dirty mop our way. As Aminta tends to say when she’s in an annoying sage mood ‘All days come to an end.’ Now we’re back in our living room. Alpha Zared is clearly in a hurry, just unlocking the belts of the others and leaving Janus in charge of relieving them from the plugs. Alpha Zareds tells me to follow him, as I expected we went back to the sex annex torture room. To my surprise it’s more welcoming than yesterday. There’s candles giving a warm light and the bed is made in a beautiful oke
Janus pov The time Aurum and I get to spend together is coming to an end. The week of whipping and scrubbing is almost over, which means Amethyst and Emerald will return from their brothel work. While I’m happy for the girls and myself that the whipping is finished it also means that I can’t spend time with Aurum anymore when Zared is doing whatever with Malachite. Ruby and Garnet keep our secret by going to their rooms. Aurum has promised me that they won’t tell a soul. “Even if they did and we get pulled apart by Zared and Gunther to have known her love will make it worthwhile,” Kael chimes in. We haven’t gotten word back from the dragons yet. I don’t know if something happened to the warlock or the dragons are ignoring us or just taking their time. In the meantime Kael and I are thinking of other options. Maybe the human realm. We could get through the portal together but we don’t have the skills to make a living there. “We could find a remote rural area and just be. W
Zared pov In my wildest dreams I hadn’t imagined how much and how hard work it would be to be Alpha King and father. Dysnomia demanded I also played a very active part in raising Derora and Arathorn. I was clueless how to be a ‘good father’. I only saw my father at dinner and then I was supposed to be quiet. Only when I turned 15 and my wolf was less than a year away did he start spending time with me. Grooming me to be his perfect successor. His lessons in fighting were brutal. He didn’t hold in his punches because if I found myself in a situation the opponent wouldn’t hold back either. I learned to duck and evade first. Once I had Gunther I gained strength. When I learned I could trust on Gunther's speed and experience I started throwing punches at him. So when Dysnomia handed me a very stinky Derora with an overflowing poop diaper with the words “I already had two of these today, this one is yours,” I was beyond clueless. “Goddess please help me with strength and wisdom. It’s
Dysnomia “Neptunes nipples,” I mutter to myself. I really want to finish this blanket before Derora gives birth. But the light is too dim for my poor eyesight. “Getting older is a curse. I can’t crochet for hours, my back hurts and my fingers are more crooked than the twigs of a serpentine hazel.” “Talking to yourself again?” Zared rhetorically asks as he enters the room, “I think it’s cute that you do that nowadays. Talking, or more accurately muttering, to myself is one of the most irritating things of being older. I often do it without realising. It frequently leads to over sharing of information. Even though Zared is older than me he is in a far better shape. I continue muttering under my breath ignoring Zared. He walks over and switches on a special reading lamp lamp with a magnifying glass attached we got in the human realm a few months earlier. Before we came to this era of relative peace people didn’t get this old. When I shift, which is rare nowadays, Aminta no longer
Dysnomia pov The sun peeps in through a crack in the curtains. I turn my back to the window and pull the blanket over my head. Of course I knew that having sex on a very regular basis with Zared could get me pregnant again but I’d foolishly hoped that it would take years not months. A soft knock on the door that I can but don’t want to ignore announces Austra with Derora. I sit up and plaster a smile on my face. I know the smile will be genuine in a few seconds when she hands me my little girl. Austra walks in holding my squirming little cherub. Her brown eyes have tiny golden specks showing that she too has some dragon magic. “Mwa!” Derora happily shouts out. I’m still not sure if she is trying to say ‘Mine’ or ‘Mama’. The one perk of being pregnant is that I can stay in bed and cuddle with her whilst the rest of the world is already going through the motions. I get ready with Derora playing and babbling on the bed. Once downstairs I go to my office. Zared is out hunting rebel
Dysnomia povToday Zared and I will be crowned Alpha King and Alpha Queen of ‘Regnum Lunae Lupi’. Over the past weeks we have planned this day and the future of our kingdom together. The planning has given us a common goal to work on and has significantly improved our relationship. There are still trust issues on both sides. Encouraged by Gunther and Aminta we spend time with just the three of us. Breanna, Bridget and Zared haven’t spoken since that fateful full moon. They don’t want to apologise to Zared and Zared doesn’t want to listen to their grievances. It is quite inconvenient to have the beta’s and the Alpha not communicating. That is the root cause of guilt issues on my side. I’m stuck between my mate and my best friends. They understand me and feel bad that they hurt Zared in such a way that it puts me in a difficult position with both Aminta and with Zared. But they don’t feel bad for Zared about it or the act itself. Zared on the other hand won’t admit that he deserved
Zared povI didn’t expect to sleep peacefully, I expected to lay awake, tossing and turning. My sack hurt too much, my head was a turmoil. Gunther tried his best to take away the pain but the incision was made with a silver knife. Thank the Goddess Breanna stitched it fairly neatly with a hot needle. It hurt just like the alcohol hurt. But Gunther said it will make the difference between losing my remaining testicle and maybe my life to an infection or being to live on. It will scar, silver almost always does. Even if the scars are invisible you feel them when the temperature changes or when the skin stretches. In my case I will be painfully reminded of this ordeal every time I get an erection as it will put tension on my sack. Which is at least once a day when I wake up with morning wood. The anger was indescribable. The betrayal Janus and Dysnomia committed still burns. I felt love and pride looking at the pup in Dysnimia’s arms. Gunther presented me visions of us being a happy fa
Dysnomia povMy arm hurts. After giving birth Aminta didn’t have enough in her to heal it. It was bone deep. I shudder at the idea that it wasn't my arm but Derora that received the full blow. Breanna and Bridget informed me they had dragged a barely resisting Zared to the dungeon. He is in the same cell that Ahriman occupied. When Breanna and Bridget mind link me again with the question if they can torture him I hesitate. He is my mate after all. Part of me can’t blame him for what he did. He has been trying so hard the last months to get in my good books to earn my forgiveness. There were even times when I thought I could leave the past behind me and find happiness with Zared. It would never be the all consuming love that I felt, no feel, for Janus but it could have been a good life for both of us. /No don’t torture him just yet. Let me think. I’m a mess right now,/ I answer them. Should I kill Zared for the attempted murder of the heir of our yet to be named Kingdom? “You thoug
Zared povI knew most of the Alpha’s would use the time between signing the treaty and Dysnomia and I coming to their packs to merge them to strengthen their defences. Luckily for us they had no allies to fall back on. The vampires and Fae kept to themselves luckily for us. Fighting them isn’t impossible but it comes at a price. The price being the lives of warriors. “It was good to kill those four Alpha’s though. I was like the good old times when we were young and wild,” Gunther tries to sound like he’s reminiscing about old times. Instead he sounds a little too sarky. “We’re still young and wild as we’re out here in the pouring rain rounding up rogues to see if they want to become law abiding citizens of our new, yet to be named Kingdom.” “True and most don’t so we get to kill them,” Gunther doesn’t even try to hide his enthusiasm over the number of rogues we killed in the past days. Those who did want to join were mostly young, having escaped slavery and a few mates that couldn’
Dysnomia povZared and I are nearing the borders of Alpha Williams’ Silver Blood pack to induct the pack member in what is now still Golden Claw. We have brought a considerable number of warriors with us as Aminta, Zared and Gunther are convinced Alpha William will have barricaded himself in and fight instead of honouring the treaty.I had hoped to manage a peaceful assimilation and even offered them to become our advisors and let them keep their sex slaves to manage that. The moment we are at the borders we are denied access by the guards. Zared and I have agreed that there will be no second chances for any of the alpha’s should they try to back. I know Zared was hoping that at least one would back out so he could show them that he is still the strongest Alpha. The hunt to find Alpha William is on. /Team Gold! Join me into the heart of the territory. We are hunting down William, when you find him you will incapacitate him and notify me. We are going for a public execution of a tr
Zared pov It was an eye opener to hear that Dysnomia wants me to experience the same things she did. But what she isn’t taking into account is that I have the mate bond pushing me towards her. Maybe, more importantly, I’m not her. I can endure to achieve a goal. My goal is and always has been to be the most powerful alpha. I needed her to be able to kill Ahriman and I didn’t even know it at the time. I assumed I would need her power. But I needed her to get Ahriman into Golden Claw where I could capture and then kill him. Another difference is that I, unlike women, don’t think too much about things. I enjoy the sensation of her massaging my prostate. Yes, it’s slightly awkward especially with Celeste watching and coaching Dysnomia but I park those thoughts. “That doesn’t make it easier to earn her forgiveness,” Gunther dryly remarks. “We need her to achieve our goals.” “With Ahriman gone, we no longer need her. The few remaining Alpha’s we can handle by ourselves..”“Getting rid
