last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

Ruth’s POV

“Dad!” I brush his hands away from me. “I’m fine…” Whining isn’t my thing, but at this moment I could care less. I hate it when my father fusses over me. It’s embarrassing.

Andrew chuckles from the chair next to the bed. I turn my head to glare at him, but he is unfazed by my silent threat, continuing to laugh at my misery. It’s been only two hours since I woke up in my bed back home in the Demon Realm and I am already ready to kill someone.

“Just let me check you over.” My father reaches for me once again, I swat his hand away before he can touch my temple. Stupid Angels always trying to heal people! A deep sigh leaves my father as he places his hands back at his sides. “Fine, you win.” He tells me, holding his hands up in surrender.

I eye him suspiciously. It isn’t like my father to give in to me so easily. This must be some kind of trick. Andrew begins to laugh harder in his chair as he leans over holding his stomach. I grab a pillow and launch it at his head. What I

    Remiel’s POV “So, Levi found a woman he wants for longer than a night?” I turn to avoid her eyes, fluffing up her pillow and pulling her blanket around her. My heart picks up pace at the thought of the woman I’ve never met. Her scent was maddening the other day in Levi’s office. I haven’t been able to get her off my mind since I left. Levi’s weird behavior while I was there makes me all the more curious. He was trying to keep me from meeting this mystery woman as if he knew something I didn’t know. “Why the interest in Jamari Dad?” Jamari…what a beautiful name. My heart picks up speed as a picture of a woman with red hair flashes through my mind. Was that a vision? Could that be the face of the woman whose scent I smelled? Ruth eyes me suspiciously as she watches me carefully. Nothing gets by my sweet Ruthy. I let out a sigh, debating whether I want to tell my daughter about my secret obsession with a woman I have only smelled. “What’s going on Dad?” “When I was in Levi’s offi

    Jamari’s POVToday is the day. The Blood Moon will be here tonight and the truth will be revealed. I stare at my reflection in the vanity mirror and sigh. Nerves are coursing through my body as fear grips me as I think about tonight.Memories from my eighteenth birthday flash through my mind as I try to fight off the feelings of not being good enough rising up within me. What if I go up on that stage in front of my family and my pack and once again nothing happens? I couldn’t live with more disappointment. And what about my parents? They have already had to suffer through the humiliation of me not having a wolf once, how will I face them if I put them through that a second time? It should have been me that was killed, not Samara. She was the Wolf Queen and a strong leader for our pack. ‘You sister was never the true Wolf Queen. It has always been you Jamari.’ My body tenses as my eyes flash around the room, looking for the voice that spoke. ‘Quit looking around the room like an idio

    Ruth’s POV For the first time in my life I find myself fidgeting in my seat on Jamari’s bed. The bed dips beside me as Jamari sits down and places her hand on mine to quiet my nerves. I volunteered to come help Jamari get ready for the Blood Moon so that I could talk to her about mate bonds, but now that I am here I find myself at a loss for words. All of this is new to me. Aside from my father and Levi I have never cared about anyone before. Now I have Andrew and Jamari, but it is hard to pull myself from the cocoon I placed myself in all those years ago to protect myself from the pain of loss. Am I ready to expand my cocoon to fit in more people that could potentially leave me like my mother? Toughen up Ruth! You are second in command in the Demon Realm, not some stuttering teenager in love for the first time. Time to rip off the bandaid. I turn my head to meet Jamari’s eyes, deciding to dive off the deep end. “Can you tell me about mate bonds?” Surprise flits across Jamari’s

    Kenji’s POV “Is everything ready for tonight?” I ask, not glancing up from the papers spread out across the Luna’s desk I have taken over. The sound of Beta Yuriko plopping herself in a seat in front of me pulls me from the report that currently has my attention. “What’s with you?” Yuriko looked like someone just killed her dog and she was formulating her revenge. Her eyes meet mine as she scowls at me. “He’s a fucking man!” She growls in disgust, her arms wrapping around her small chest. Yuriko was always smaller than the other wolves in our pack, but that didn’t stop her from beating her way to the top and into the position of my Beta. She is the fiercest warrior I have and I owe a lot to her. I stare at her in confusion to which she responds with an eye roll, letting out a huff of air. “My mate.” She grumbles. My eyes widen in surprise. Yuriko has found her mate, but why does she look so unhappy? Then her words from earlier register in my brain and I can’t stop the laughter f

    Jamari’s POVI couldn’t stop the anxiety that washes over me as we step out into the courtyard. Memories from my eighteenth birthday flash in my mind causing me to pause at the entrance. I find myself stuck in my spot, staring out at everyone gathered around to witness my transformation. Or what I am hoping will be my transformation. I feel Levi grab my right hand and give it a light squeeze as reassurance that he is by my side. I grip his hand tighter, not wanting to lose the comfort his presence brings, as Kenji grabs my left hand in his. I glance down at our joined hands, taking a deep breath in to ready myself for what comes next. ‘You got this.’ Flits through my mind in the background as the familiar voice of my newly acquired wolf tries to calm my nerves. I lift my right foot and begin to descend the stairs, taking the plunge and walking towards the same stage that torments my dreams still. The closer my feet bring me to the stage the louder my heart thumps in my chest, nerve

    Ruth's POVAfter leaving Jamari’s room I went in search of Andrew. Tonight is the Blood Moon and I have a good feeling that the moon will reveal that Andrew is my other half. I have already decided to accept him and Cody even if it turns out he isn’t destined for me, but I am still anxious to find out. Strong arms wrap around my waist from behind, my body relaxing into the familiar tingles that erupt everytime Andrew touches me. A content sigh leaves my lips as my arms wrap themselves around Andrew’s arms. “There you are gorgeous.” Andrew whispers in my ear, nipping my lobe with his teeth. My arousal spikes instantly as the scent fills the small hallway. “Careful little mate.” Cody growls in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. “There will be plenty of time for that later.”I turn in his arms, placing my hand on his chest. Lifting up on my toes my teeth nip at Andrews, well Cody’s, lips. “Looking forward to it Cody.” I whisper before dancing out of his arms and skipping down the h

Typical demon reaction to run away when things get tough for them.So maybe some of my anger is bubbling up because of old wounds from when my mother abandoned me the first chance she got. That doesn’t matter right now! Levi fucked up and he deserves to feel my wrath, even if it is not all because of him.The two receptionists jumped from their seats the moment I burst out of Levi’s office, they now stand in front of me clutching their hands to their chests, fear wafting off of them in waves. My demoness sniffs the air in pleasure, licking her chops in my mind.‘Hungry Bitch, cool it before you cause them to have a heartache before they can answer my question.’ My demoness pouts, but pulls herself back from the forefront of my mind.I turn my attentin back to the useless women behind the receptionist desk.

Within seconds the sound of bones breaking fills the night as she begins her first shift into her wolf form. Gasps from the crowd echo all around us from the crowd, I tune them out to give my focus solely to Jamari. Most werewolf pups have years to train their bodies to prepare for this first shift, but Jamari only had two weeks, making her first shift harder than most. A howl of pain fills the night air as Jamari throws her head back in agony, fighting against her body that is trying to shift.Her howl breaks me from my trance. I rush to her side, keeping space in between us to allow her room to finish her shift. “Don’t fight against your wolf Jamari, you must work with her to allow her to break free.”Her frightened eyes meet mine and I can tell that she can’t hear a word I am saying. ‘We should have prepared her more for her first shift.’ Ren paces my mind, worried for our mate

  • Rise of the Alpha Queen   Book 2 Coming Soon

    Dear Readers, Thank you all for supporting me and my first book Rise of the Alpha Queen. It has been a thrilling ride and I can't believe that I have reached the end of my first book! I love reading the reviews readers have left me about my book, even the ones that are less than positive. I take them in stride and try to be better for future books. So please continue to let me know what your thoughts are on the story. I will be spending the next month going back through and editing my chapters, something I didn't have as much time as I would have liked while writing with a deadline these past few months, and then I will start on book 2. I hope to have book 2 started by the end of September or begining of October. Thank you again for all of your support! I hope you have all enjoyed watching Jamari move into her role as the Alpha Queen. Heidi Monath :) **UPDATE** Book 2: Alpha Queen's Reluctant Mate is now available!

  • Rise of the Alpha Queen   Chapter 166- Entering the Vampire Realm

    Jamari’s POVAnxiety courses through my body as we prepare to depart for the Vampire Realm. Aside from my few visits to the Demon Realm and my visit to the Garden of Eden, I haven’t left the Human Realm often. What would the Vampire Realm be like? Would it be eternal darkness so the vampires don’t turn to dust in the sun?A chuckle of nervous energy escapes me at the thought. I doubt the vampires burst into flames in the sun like the movies portray. I’m pretty sure that Eve had some vampires with her when she was trying to get into the Church grounds last week.Another reason for my anxiety is the Vampire King. Lucern. A shiver passes through me at the thought of his name. The interest my body shows in just his name has me concerned for how I will react upon meeting him. If Levi and Kenji’s theory is correct, he could possibly be one of my mates as well. I don’t know if I am ready for another mate just yet. I finally have a working relationship with both Levi and Kenji, and I have Re

  • Rise of the Alpha Queen   Chapter 165- Preparing for the Vampire Realm

    Kenji’s POV “When do we leave for the Vampire Realm?” I would love nothing more than to put off going to the Vampire Realm so I can keep Jamari between just Levi and I a little longer, but we need to release Remiel from his prison quickly. “I have had Ruth send word to Lucern that we are requesting an audience with him and Morgana.” Levi tells me distractedly. Levi has been quiet since we saw his mother outside of the Church yesterday afternoon. “What is troubling you Levi?” I ask him, worried that something might be wrong. “You have been quiet since we came back from the Church and that is not like you.” That was an understatement of course. Levi is the exact opposite of quiet and has been the whole time that I’ve known him. Levi glances in my direction, a frown on his face. “Something has been bothering me since we last spoke with my mother.” He tells me, moving to sit on the couch beside me. “This sounds serious.” I turn my body so I am facing Levi. “It could be a disaste

  • Rise of the Alpha Queen   Chapter 164- Release Remiel

    Eve’s POVIt’s been three days since I was last at the old Church ruins, unable to bring myself to come back here after the memories from long ago resurfaced. My eyes roam over the courtyard, as memories of happier times floods me, bringing tears to my eyes. We were supposed to get the rest of our lives together, or at least the rest of his life, instead our life together was cut short, shorter than even humans and their partners. There is no way that Shappa is still alive in the Fae Realm. Time moves differently over there making more time to have passed there than it has here. I let out a deep sigh as the weight of my grief once again threatens to weigh me down. I would give anything to at least get the chance to see my daughter again. Even if she is all grown up. A tear slides down my face. I pray to whichever God or Goddess that will listen that my Father was never able to get his hands on her and make her a part of his harem. Grandfathers shouldn’t have such thoughts. Magic sw

    Jamari’s POVI’m not sure why Levi thinks the book will magically appear in the desk when it wasn’t here the first time that we checked, but if there is a chance that he could be right about the book being returned to the desk, I am willing to try it. Moving over to the desk, I take a seat in the chair behind the desk and look around. A feeling suddenly washes over me causing a look of surprise to appear on my face. My eyes snap up to where Kenji and Levi stand on the other side of the desk, their attention solely on me. I glance back down at the desk as I run my hand over the top with my palm facing down. Magic sizzles against my skin, surprising me. I jerk my hand back as I stare down at the empty space on the desk in bewilderment. “Do you guys feel that?” I ask, looking back up to Kenji and Levi. They put their hands over the top of the desk like what I had done, holding it there for longer than what I did, before pulling away and shaking their heads.A frown forms on my brow. M

    Jamari’s POVA wholeness fills my mind the moment that Rieka returns back to her place at the forefront with me. The feel of her return wakes me from my sleep, the first restful sleep I have experienced in days. The dream that has plagued me since our run in with Eve thankfully didn’t haunt my dreams for once. ‘I’m sorry Mari, I didn’t mean to wake you.’ Rieka whispers in apology. A laugh moves through our link from me. ‘Why are you whispering? We’re talking inside my head.’ Fully awake now, I attempt to see the clock on the table beside Kenji, but his giant shoulder is blocking my view. I let out a quiet sigh, giving up on seeing what time it is so I don’t wake either of the men surrounding me. ‘She’s whispering because you tend to broadcast your conversations into our heads.’ Levi’s voice fills my mind as he pulls my body so I lay curved against his naked body. Interest begins to stir within me, the jump of his cock on my ass giving away his interest as well. ‘Sorry Handsome, I

  • Rise of the Alpha Queen   Chapter 161- The Search for Athena

    Rieka’s POV‘I will need to search for her within your mind Mari.’ I tell Jamari, as I think of the best way to find and talk to Athena. Mari is right, searching through all of these books isn’t getting us any closer to finding the answer to releasing Remiel and Lucifer from their prison. Getting in contact with Athena is a long shot, but if it helps us find the book we’re searching for sooner, then it is worth trying, even if it will make me weak for a while after. I’ll just leave that part out though, Mari would tell me to forget it and continue to look through all of these books. I can’t let her do that though. ‘So does that mean that you will be gone again?’ Mari asks me, sadness coating her words.Both Kenji and Levi make a sound of surprise at Jamari’s words. ‘Gone again?’ They both ask at the same time, their wide eyes turning to look at Jamari. Guilt moves through me at the reminder that I disappeared for a couple of days. Jamari had called out to me many times during that t

    Levi’s POVI glance up in surprise when I sense Jamari’s presence appearing within the library. Glancing at the watch wrapped around my left wrist, I realize that it has only been four hours since I sent Jamari away with Kenji to rest. Kenji walks through the portal behind Jamari, his hands raised in defense before I can question their quick return. Jamari stops to stare at me, a defensive look taking over her face. “Don’t start with me Levi.” She grumbles, making her way to the table scattered with books. “I couldn’t sleep so I might as well be of some use here.”I watch Jamari flip through books for a few minutes, my presence completely forgotten in her quest to find the spell to set Remiel free. I turn my attention back to Kenji, raising a brow in question. Averting his eyes, he pretends to be interested in the pile of books on the table beside him. ‘You weren’t supposed to return until she got at least six hours of rest.’ I berate through our link, my arms moving up to fold over

    Jamari’s POVI jerk awake as my dream starts to fade from my mind. That was a weird dream. And far more vivid than any that I am used to having. I shake my head to clear my thoughts. All of the stress of the last few days must be catching up to me. Why else would the same dream be plaguing me everytime I close my eyes?I let out a tired sigh, my eyes wandering to the clock on the bedside table. 3:33 am. A yawn escapes me, reminding me that I only just went to bed two hours ago. Kenji begins to stir beside me, his arm searching for me in his sleep.None of us have gotten much sleep these past few days. All of us running around the clock with little breaks for rest and food in between. Despite searching through all of the books that we found with the words Forbidden Magic in the title, we still haven’t found what we are looking for.Two days have gone by since we first entered the hidden library, and we are still no closer to releasing Remiel from his prison than we were before we enter
