Chapter 1 - A new Kingdom

LAMIA

I looked out the window on the top floor of my castle, yes, my castle, taking slow sips from the crystal glass that held the dark thick rum, my drink of choice tonight, as I pondered over the past two years and how far we had come. 

Two years ago, Travis and I left the Golden Circle pack in the dead of night to come back to MacTire (which literally meant wolf in ancient Gaelic). With the help of Alpha Greg from the Crescent Moon pack and my Uncle, we had found out this castle was once the home of my ancestors. It was once upon a time home to a king and queen from the old world, who had been overthrown by humans and the pack massacred by hunters.

It was strange coming back to the place that was the cause of all my nightmares, nightmares I still had to this day of the bear shifters torturing and sexually abusing me. I curled my lip and took another slow sip of my drink. The thick barrel-tasting liquid curbed the growl that threatened to escape my lips.

I hated bear shifters and hated that I had to accept them into our pack. My time in the dungeons, my dungeons now, left a sour and deep disdain for bears.

As if I had any love for them before. I scoffed to myself and my wolf nodded in agreement.

Over the past two years we, meaning Hunji, Travis, and I, have built this place up. It was perfect land for farming, so we raised beef and farmed the land, producing the best crops and leanest beef. We made a deal with the werewolf king, my Uncle Alex, and began selling and trading to his kingdom's northern packs that had trouble growing crops because their soil wasn’t rich enough. We produced enough to not only sell to the kingdom packs but also to supply our own packs and feed the growing population here.

After coming back here, the three of us had combed the territory and discovered a long stretch of a wide river that ran right through our land. Big enough and wide enough for boats and the river forked off from the mountains that created a waterfall leading to a larger body of water that stretched all the way out towards the ocean and the copious amount of salmon it supplied was an added bonus to the land.

With the help of Prince Kellen and, of course, our father’s, we were able to get electricity piped into the castle and the small village that stood just east of it. They had loaned Damon to me for a few months and we set up security around our borders as well as additional security in the dungeons with cameras and electronic closing cells. Thankfully, we have had no use for those cells since we took over.

Part of the castle had been burnt towards the north wing where the ballroom and kitchens stood. Instead of rebuilding those walls, we knocked them down and built a separate structure to house a common dining room for all pack members to come eat at and it would double as a function room for pack gatherings and entertainment. Pipes had been replaced and, with the castle now having electricity, we actually had hot running water, which I thanked the Moon Goddess for every day.

The King had also allowed me to borrow a handful of the elite warriors for a time until I had our pack trained and up to speed so they could effectively protect our lands. As per the treaty I signed with the king, once our warriors were trained, the elite warriors went back to the Royal pack.

Aside from building MacTire back better and stronger, the three of us (Hunji, Travis and me) had travelled to the lands outside of the kingdom. We had made it our mission to form alliances with small packs that were not under the rule of the werewolf kingdom, aiding them in fights against rogues or bigger packs that tried to bully them for various reasons such as wanting more land or trying to take young shifters and humans as slaves. I had also acquired a few towns that are primarily occupied by humans and shifters who had human mates. I was now the Alpha of 4 other packs in addition to Golden Circle and MacTire and we also controlled a few human towns in between our acquired pack lands.

Of course, we didn’t control in a tyrant sort of way, rather we helped build the cities up, opening businesses and trading with town’s people. We offered jobs and protection in exchange for their loyalty to me. We ruled fair and brought law and order to the villages, towns, and packs.

The packs I acquired were mostly because their Alpha was dictatorial or ruthless, harboring old ways. Enslaving omega shifters or using the humans as slaves. I can honestly say each and every pack I challenged for and of course, won, has thrived and become happier. Shifters that didn’t agree with the new way and still harbored those brutal and cruel rulings were cast out or executed depending on their crimes.

I had become cold, not uncaring, just hardened. And even though I hated bear shifters, I still ruled as a just and fair Alpha. I may not prefer their company, but I would never place judgment on a child, no matter their race.

That was how I met Rhett and his little sister Ria. In my early days of going back and forth from here to Golden Circle I had stopped in a small village that was the home to mostly humans and had decided to stay the night in a dinky run-down motel.

Flashback: 18 months ago

I came up to the counter and paid for a room. I was in a small village that was named Briarshire, a place that was a few days from MacTire. Usually, I would just run straight through from one pack to another, but tonight my wolf had urged me to stop and I let her lead us to this small rundown village. That was how I had ended up becoming the Alpha of 4 more packs, was by following her lead. Sometimes she would get this bug up her ass, and I, never learning my lesson would listen to her. Sometimes it was just better to give in than to hear her incessant whining in my head and then fight her for control. Needless to say, she always led us to packs that needed help in one way or another. I was guessing this might be the same case tonight.

Inanna had insisted we stop overnight and I let her lead me to this rinky-dink motel. I grabbed my room key from the clerk at the front desk and head towards the ground floor room of the motel. I’m sure this place must have been thriving a long time ago but now it was just run down with crumbling walls and peeling paint. I opened the door to find a modest and dated room with a queen bed, dumping my bag on one of the two chairs that stood next to a small makeshift breakfast table, I took my long coat off and unsheathed my swords then proceeded to strip out my metallic suit pants, boots and vest top.

The shower was small and the water cold, so I quickly washed with the tiny bar of soap they had supplied, drying my body with the minimal piece of fabric they called a towel. It was so small I had the choice of either wrapping my boobs up or covering my ass. There was no in between, it was either or. I sighed as I lay down on the worn bed after grabbing and dressing in a pair of shorts and one of Zane’s old shirts. Yes, I was still missing him, I always would. Although there was no more pain, I was still left with heartache and a feeling of emptiness. His scent still lingered on this shirt and I took it to my nose, inhaling his now fading oak and maple scent. In the beginning, tears would prick my eyes, but as the months passed I no longer shed tears, I just let the loneliness consume me. My wolf would whimper with her own memories, missing the other piece of her soul, her mate.

I closed my eyes praying for a dreamless sleep tonight but doubted I would even fall fully asleep in a strange town. I had sent Hunji to one of our newer packs to help train their warriors and Travis was back at MacTire holding down the fort. I had visited the Golden Circle pack to talk with Brett, the acting Alpha, and of course, to see Halley, Zane’s little sister, as she had finished her time at the Alpha academy. I wanted to be there to greet her upon her return. I had stayed for three days before deciding to head back to the territory and that’s how I found myself here, in what was this place called? Oh, yah Briarshire. Strange name. It sounded like something from those old, old books the Hobbit, I had recently read.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

My eyes shot open to the sound of the church bell ringing from a tower toward the other side of town, my body leaping up from the bed in one fluid movement and landing in a defensive stance as the loud clang of the bell pierced through the evening sky followed by fearful shouting.

“Run, run, get to safety. They are coming!” I heard a man’s voice boom in between the clang of the bell that had become quicker.

What could they possibly be running from? What could have this village running scared for their lives? I could hear the patters of many feet scuffling through the minimal streets and children whimpering as their mothers hushed them.

Ever the curious wolf and not much scared me, I threw my pants and crop top back on. Hey, I figure if I’m going out there I might as well dress back up, who knows what I would find. Better to be prepared. I opened the door to my room and peered out, noting the doors shutting and people scuttling into buildings. It seemed like the whole village was evacuating to this area.

I saw one lone man running in the other direction towards the other end of town where the bells clang still rang out. I sniffed the air Cat. The man was a were-cat.

“Hey, you!” I shouted to him, making him pause to see who had called out “What’s happening? Why is everyone hiding?” I asked with impatience, the bells sound now giving me a headache.

“The Alpha is coming. You should hide unless you can fight, but then you might die.” He replied shakily. He was an older man, thin and lithe like he hadn’t seen a decent meal and lived a harsh life for a while.

“What Alpha? your Alpha?” I asked again, stepping out onto the road.

“No, not our Alpha…” He was cut off by a loud screaming followed by equally loud and menacing growls.

“They got Ria, he’s taking Ria!” Another man shouted and my eyes followed the new voice, to a man who looked close to my age as he yelled from the top of the street. The were-cat before me physically paled and began running to the other man.

I walked back into my room ready to close the door. This was not my fight and I had no backup. Not that I really needed it, but I had learned my lesson 2 years ago.

Fuck.

Fuck it. I grabbed my swords and began running to where I heard the growling and shouting. I came upon a scene that had my blood boiling and I felt my canines extend as I sneered at the pack of wolves in front of me, several of them holding young girls close to them. One of them had a young girl snatched by her hair and was dragging her away from the others.

I suppressed my aura, not wanting to give away my strength.

“They do not belong to you, Arshard! Leave us alone.” The man who was closer to my age yelled, clenching his fists by his side tightly.

“Or what, Rhett? What is a weak and pathetic scum of a human like you going to do about it?” The man called Arshrad taunted him.

“So help me God, release my sister!” He yelled.

‘I’m going to enjoy breaking this little one”, another man said, and I turned my gaze to him, watching as his tongue licked another young girl from her neck to her face and the girl visibly shuddered in disgust as tears streaked her cheeks.

The man called Rhett moved fast, faster than a human, but not faster than the wolf he advanced on. The poor excuse of an Alpha called Arshard moved quickly, dropping the girl from his grasp and sending a blow right to the jaw of Rhett, knocking him on his ass.

“Just as I thought, weak human.” He sneered at the man on the floor.

“I suggest you do as you have been asked before I rip yours and the rest of your men’s hearts out and watch you bleed where you stand!” Having enough of this shit show, I yelled out and took a step closer to the group of attackers standing behind the villagers.

This wolf and his pack were obviously taking girls without their consent. I had seen this before. The type of pack they are, and it disgusted me. The crowd of villagers parted and the man who was an Alpha glared at me, his lip curling up in hostility.

“And who the fuck are you to tell an Alpha what to do little wolf?” he growled.

“I’m the Delta’s Daughter and I’m telling you now, unhand these villagers or this man will unleash my beast,” I said pointing at Rhett who was gathering himself off the ground. That was always my answer when I was asked who I was. Not Alpha, not Queen, but the Delta’s Daughter. That was the name I had become known as throughout the werewolf kingdom and beyond: The Delta’s Daughter, A title that was fast becoming a legend.

“You dare challenge me, girl!” He yelled, clearly annoyed.

“Well no I didn’t challenge you, you dumb fuck. But if it’s a challenge you want, then yah, ok. What do I get if I win?” Now I was just pissing him off. So I let a little of my aura out, just to let him think I was too confident, just enough to fool him into thinking I thought I held power. Little did the idiot know.

“An Alpha challenge to the death, standard rules apply. You keep what you kill.” He chuckled as he turned to his men, “This girl is a fool if she thinks she can beat an Alpha, maybe I won’t kill her but let her share my bed” He laughed and his men laughed with him agreeing.

“Well, that doesn’t seem like a fair fight, let's sweeten the pot, you have thirteen men with you. How about I fight them first, then if I win I will accept your challenge, ALPHA.” Highlighting the word Alpha with a mocking tone I egged him on.

He nodded his head “Ok” and waved his hand to his men. “Fuck her up, but leave her alive.”

I didn’t give them the chance to attack because I swiftly moved forward with an unmatched speed, my hands morphing to my beasts as I quickly moved through the thirteen men and ripped out each and every one of their hearts in less than a minute. I held the last heart in my hand as I moved in front of the Alpha’s face. His was pale and full of shock and he stumbled to find his words, but before he could, my claws plunged into his chest and tore his beating heart out.

“That’s for being a scum of an Alpha. You got what you deserved, preying on the weak.” I derided him before his body dropped to his knees and he keeled over, the life leaving his murky eyes.

***

It was that night I had met my fourth Knight. I still had dreams of the library and the writings in the book. But it was always the same thing, always about the four knights and their Queen. Ever since I met with Ashe, the Demi-God and first were-wolf ever born, I hadn’t seen her again. I always wonder if it was just a dream, but then how could I explain not having to endure the anguish of my mate and child’s death? And that was over two years ago now.

I heard his footsteps and caught his scent making his way to my chambers way before he had even turned down my hall. He finally reached my door and gave it a knock.

“Come in” I called, not even bothering to turn around as I still gazed out the window over the vast land. Sometimes it still felt surreal that this was mine, this beautiful, thriving land.

He crossed the room, coming up behind me and snaking his arms around my waist, pulling me back against his hard chest, burying his nose in my hair, and softly inhaling. “What are you thinking, Lamia?” He asked.

I gave a half-cocked smile, more for myself than him, and lifted my glass to my lips again. “Nothing good” I sighed. “Just remembering when I first met Rhett and Ria,” I told him honestly as I looked at our reflections through my window.

He ran one of his hands up my side to my neck, moving the hair that rested on my shoulder out the way, and softly pressed a kiss to my neck. His warm lips sent a pleasurable heat through my body and right down to my core. There were no tingles, no pull of the mate bond; it was the connection I craved. Nothing more.

“I just got word from Prince Kellen that Tawny has been called to the were-cat kingdom, King Armand has requested her presence.” He whispered against my neck and continued to place kisses up and down, nibbling my earlobe and almost eliciting a moan from me.

“Shit. I’m sure she will call me and I will have her escorted by one of our big cat warriors. Kellen can’t send wolves with her; they will be unwelcomed and seen as a threat.” I said of my best friend and disgraced were-cat princess. It must be dire if her grandfather was demanding an audience with her. He had despised her mother and father and had cast his only daughter out when she was fated to a wolf and King Armand wanted nothing to do with his granddaughter, who is a cat shifter.

You see, it happens one of three ways when you have shifter races mixed with each other. You are either one or the other or human. However, sometimes, in rare cases like in Rhett and Ria’s, their mother was a wolf and their father was a human but were fated mates. Rhett and Ria were born without a wolf and were considered humans, but just because they couldn’t shift and had no wolf spirit, they still ended up with werewolf strength and speed but none of our healing abilities or immunities to sickness. They had no idea they came from a long line of hunters until Hunji and I had bought it to their attention. In truth, we thought they had all been wiped out eons ago when the plague hit the humans and the shifter wars began in an effort to control the realm.

“I will speak with her and have Mason accompany her,” I said while turning in his arms and placing one of mine around his shoulder, my palm resting on the nape of his neck where my fingers twirled in his hair, but my gaze was still held by the lush greenery outside.

Taking another sip, I watched through the window as a dark brown wolf emerged from the tree line in the valley and gradually sloped up into the mountain, the evergreens swallowing the terrain like bees to honey, making his way back to the castle.  The mate-less wolf shifted to his human form when he was closer to the castle. My eyes softened when I saw the scars littered over his chest. The tell-tale sign of a mate's betrayal, except he killed his mate and the Moon Goddess would never fate him another. Regardless of why he did it, killing your fated mate goes against the goddess' gift and you will never be given a second chance mate, and that’s if you survived breaking the bond. It was one of the worst crimes against the moon goddess there could be, that and killing a pup.

The thought had my head turning and brushing my lips with the man holding me in his arms. His soft brown eyes were dark with lust and wanting. He wasn’t demanding, but he wasn’t asking either. I knew what he wanted and I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to fuck him. His head leaned forward and I encouraged it by wrapping my fingers tighter in his hair. His lips began to move against mine, as he pulled me closer and deepened the kiss, there was a slight urgency to it but more than that, was a need. He broke from the kiss and took my glass from his hand, lifting the glass to his lips and smirking before he downed the rest it in one swallow and then set it down on the side table by the window.

I took a moment to admire the man that stood before me. He was muscular and rugged, a hardened body built with hard work and determination. My eyes moved up to appreciate his hard chest and broad shoulders. His strong and squared jaw was hidden by a light beard that he always grew this time of year and I always teased him that he had more red in his beard than in his dark brown hair.

“What?” he asked, grabbing me by the waist and pulling me against him so I could feel every one of those defined dips and curves of his chest. He was built the way the romance novels always described an Alpha.

I cocked my head.

“You have a smirk on your face, what’s that about?” his husky and playful voice I loved so much whispered into my ear and at the same time created a moist warmth between my legs.

“I was thinking… As much as I tease you about your beard, I love it when you go down on me.” I smiled when he let out a low growl and pressed his pelvis into my hip. He was rock hard and I bit my bottom lip in excitement. We may be using each other to find our own release and little utopia for just a little while and as much as I wished he would find a mate. I would miss this.

My lips brushed against his cheek as I moved in, to graze my teeth on his earlobe, sucking it and then whispering in as sultry and breathy a voice I could muster. “Fuck me Alpha!”

I really enjoyed this series. Many books on this platform have similar stories, which gets boring really fast. This book series kept me entertained the whole time. It had the perfect balance of romance and action. I enjoyed getting to know each character in more detail as each book was added.

JWGStout has done it again! I loved the story and character development. The story really is a roller coaster, and I’m so happy for Lamia! But there are so many questions at the end, and so many opportunities for the other leading characters. I can’t wait to get into the next 3 books!

Chapter 2 - Just a tension reliever
LAMIA “Fuck me, Alpha!” I whispered, and that was all it took. He growled low and deep before capturing my lips in a hungry and bruising kiss, only pulling away when his hands traveled under my shirt and lifted it from my head. Once gone, he returned his mouth to mine, plunging his tongue in and tasting me. I met him stroke for stroke, as I moaned into the bruising kiss and let my free hand run up his naked chest while the other gripped his hair tightly, pulling him to me hard. He lifted me by the ass and my legs wrapped around his waist on instinct, his eager lips trailing down my jaw to my collar bone, softly nipping at the skin and finally reaching the hardened bud of my nipple. I gasped when he took the peak into his mouth and sucked. Biting and sucking hard, the pinch of pain only heightened the pleasure and had my pussy weeping. He threw me on the bed, quickly peeling my leggings from me, and climbed back over me. He greedily sucked in my other nipple, paying it the same atte

Chapter 3 - Decimation
LAMIA “What the fuck is wrong with you?” I growled at the now-shaking guard. “Why on earth would you lock a child up in a dungeon? What possible threat could she be?” I was fuming. “I – I’m sorry Alpha, I – I…” The guard stuttered in fear. “You are relieved from your duty, go report to your captain and tell him what you did. Maybe he can smack some sense into you.” I pointed to the stone stairs that lead up to the dungeon doors. He scuttled out of there as quick as lightning. I shook my head, dumbfounded at the idiot. Travis chuckled next to me, “A little harsh, don’t you think?” I scoffed. “Harsh you say? What fucking idiot locks a child up?” I motioned to the tiny figure cowering in the corner of one of our cells. I pressed my thumb against the keypad and the cell door slid open. “Please, please help me, help us Alpha.” The little girl cried. I moved slowly into the cell so as not to scare her any further and took a seat on the floor next to her. Travis stood by the door, he

Chapter 4 - Meetings
LAMIA It had been a week since we had discovered the mutilated Clan across the river. It had hit everyone who was there hard and it was an image that was tough to get rid of. There was an unspoken disquietude around MacTire, a wondering of if we would be next. I was confident in our warriors though and assured pack members that if we did fall under attack, they would surely be sorry. It seemed to ease the minds of some but not all. Every time I heard Petra running the halls of the castle, I was reminded of how she had lost her whole life, her family. Sometimes at night, I would wake from my own nightmares to hear her muffled sobs. For a ten-year-old, she was dealing with the aftermath quite well, despite that everything and everyone she had known was gone. I sometimes wondered if the magnitude of what happened to her Clan had really sunk in, but then I would hear her cries in the night and each night I would go to her. Mrs. Brown had become her permanent caretaker, but I felt myself

Chapter 5 - Lonely City
MATHIAS I took a sip of the dark liquid from my crystal glass, savoring the taste on my tongue before swallowing it and gulping down the rest. I leaned down to set the glass on the table beside me, spying the female I had ruined not 20min ago slumped over my couch passed out, tears still streaked her face from the beating she had taken from my cock. Her small and tight pussy had torn and bled when I fucked her hard and rough chasing my own release. Over and over again. Never feeling satisfied. When her screams of pleasure had turned to painful moans and sobbing and she could take no more of me, passing out while I relentlessly fucked her from behind, I tossed her down, still not finding satisfaction. A better man would have taken pity on her, but not me. Here I stood, in all my glory, looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows that adorned my penthouse apartment at the top of the casino I owned and mostly lived. The lights from the city far below glistened like twinkling stars. Gi

Chapter 6 - The Return of Rhett
LAMIA There was a good chill in the air and snow had already begun to settle on the mountaintops. Soon, our lands would be subject to the harsh winter once more, covering the lush greenery with white powder. I could already smell it in the air; a fresh scent that would wash away the crops and freeze the ground, making way for spring and new beginnings. I shifted into my wolf and stalked to where the tree line was, as soon as I was under the cover of the trees I let Inanna take over. ‘Let’s run in beast form’ her excitement coming through. I agreed and she stood up on our hind legs and we morphed into my beast, a form that was more Lycan but still a wolf. In this form, we can run faster, jump higher and see farther. I took off at high speed through the trees, bounding over fallen logs and sporadic rocks. The thrill of running in this form gave me renewed energy. I didn’t often get to let loose as my beast and it was riveting, to say the least. Pack members had often seen me in wolf

Chapter 7 – More than a Coincidence
LAMIA The tension in my office was high as Rhett recounted his knowledge and findings of the creature that attacked the borough they visited along with a colorful image of the massacred borough they stumbled across. It sounds a little morbid but we began comparing notes on what we discovered with the small bear clan and the mutilated bodies Rhett and his team came across. Luckily, Rhett had the foresight to take pictures as evidence and was able to describe the creature that attacked them in great detail; A lithe humanoid with grey skin, long claws, and muscular legs. He described its face as distorted with deep crimson eyes and pointed teeth, like every one of them was a fang and its nose was almost none existent, just two holes instead of a protruding nasal cavity and its cranium was larger where the brain would sit, and narrowing down to the jaw. What he was describing sounded an awful lot like how humans used to describe aliens way back when they thought they were real. Little g

Chapter 8 - The Delta
MATHIAS So here I was three weeks later going back to our prison cells, because of another fucking wolf! This time it was a rogue my men had captured after a small attack rogue wolves had attempted on the outskirts of my territory on a smaller Clan of bears. The last wolf was still fucking sitting there. He was so calm and collected and had an eerie confidence about him. I had decided if he didn’t give us answers he would be sentenced to be executed on the next full moon. Next week was the winter solstice and my Kingdom was holding a celebration, so I had opted for the following full moon. Why a full moon, because werewolves worshiped them so much. They pretty much planned their whole lives around full moons and it would be a kick in the teeth to the Delta wolf we were holding for his death to be held that day. I had been informed that the Delta Wolf had been taking his daily punishment well. I really didn’t like that cocky son of a bitch and, more so, I didn’t like that he refused

Chapter 9 – Old friends
LAMIA “So you have no idea what your grandfather wants?” I asked Tawny. She had arrived yesterday shortly before Ria had come home also, and yesterday was a cluster of introductions and being reacquainted with familiar faces. The afternoon and evening had passed by so fast we didn’t get the chance to sit down and have a good chin wag. So after breakfast this morning, we took one of the jeeps out and headed out to the hot springs that were situated in the northern part of our territory, a hidden gem tucked away inside the mountains. We had packed a picnic basket with sandwiches and other snack food, but I also packed a couple of bottles of champagne and orange juice. So that’s what we were doing now, the three of us, Me, Tawny, and Ria, sitting buck naked in one of the pools, drinking mimosas and catching up. “I truly don’t, his Zeta told me he was seeking an audience with me, when I asked why he didn’t call himself, he gave me a half-cocked answer and said ‘the Chief said it was t

Chapter 10 – A Crimson Cat
LAMIA “Kellen” I sobbed. He was here, he was really here. “Did you think I would leave you alone on one of your most important days?” His tone was light and airy and I could hear the smile behind the words. “I didn’t know, I didn’t think you could come,” I said while pulling away from him so I could look into his comforting ocean-blue eyes. Goddess, how I had missed seeing those blues, “I’m so happy you are here” I admitted, smiling up at him. “Beautiful, I will always be here for you. Now shall we go greet your guests, or do you want to high tail it out of here?” I knew Kellen was joking about getting out of here. Oh, but how I wished I could just escape. “I would love to ‘high tail it’ out of here, alas, I guess I should go mingle and play nice.” I couldn’t help smiling at him. His being here, made my night and with Kellen by my side, I was ready to tackle anything. “How long are you staying for?” I wanted to know how long I had him for, any amount of time was good with me.
