“I heard that you are looking for me Anastasia.” I hear my father’s familiar voice echoing throughout the moonlit room from the shadows.
By now the pups are walking because it has been 3 months since they have been born and our kind grow extremely fast, not unlike wolves in the wild. Alina has developed more of a taste for blood than I care to discuss with anyone. When she tried to suckle on my nipple and nearly tore it off, I stopped her just afterwards.
That was almost a month ago. Since then, she has taken to draining the life out of various animals around the castle. So, when my father shows up in the middle of the night, I am more than happy to oblige him. “Father, you never told me your name, so it was hard to find you before now. I had to contact mothe
After he brings me to the bedroom, we sit there and talk for a few minutes when we hear a knock on the window from outside. We glance at each other, before he stands up and quickly rushes to the window. Seeing my father outside, he seems confused until I walk over and open it.He climbs in with Alina in his arms and when I see her, she already looks bigger than she did a couple hours before. I cock my head to ask, “Did she get bigger already?” Glancing between my father and Dominic before taking Alina and waiting for an answer.The minute she reaches for me, I feel my heart ache just knowing that I had given her away. I can’t believe that I could think this would be the answer when it was right in front of me the whole time. Surely, she can live off the animals in the woods and the ones we raise. Then after she drains them, we can use the meat for everyone else. A win, win situation.“Yes, s
I wake up to a loud sound outside my window and get up to look, when I see my father in a ferocious battle in the distance. Scared and not knowing what is going on, I rush to find my mother. As soon as I open my door, I run face first into her and the shock of it all makes me take a few minutes to realize that she is trying to get me to move. Shoving me back into my room and forcing me to get in the cage, I feel like my world is spinning out of control. She locks me in and then leaves, shutting the door behind her. I have only seen that look on her face once before, when an intruder came this close to stealing me away at the age of 15. Falling asleep, I don't wake up till the next morning. "Get up Anastasia, you need to get ready. We have a big surprise for you for your birthday. Someone very special is coming today to meet you." My mom gently hugs me and kisses me on the forehead. For some reason, I can tell she
After my first night as queen, my king lay next to me. He is perfect in every way, but for some reason he never touched me. It was the exact opposite of what I had thought it would be. I remember that I was so scared and worried that he would try something, anything.When I first set eyes on him, he made me feel strange and I can't explain it. His gorgeous green eyes peered right into my soul and his lean but muscular body made it really hard to look away. Right then and there, I wanted to run away and yet I was captivated by his power.My mother certainly knew what she was doing when she bought me this dress and these undergarments, because the minute he saw them on me I could tell that he wanted to eat me alive. The only bad thing is, I am beginning to doubt myself. Perhaps, I had imagined it all.Laying there, I watch how his body reacts to my touch while he is sleeping. He snores lightly, making me giggle just
As the elders arrive one by one and greet us, Dominic graciously introduces me to them. Standing next to him in my beautiful royal blue gown, I feel like a queen and more importantly, they are all addressing me as such. I realize that if anyone doesn't think of me as their queen, it will cause problems for Dominic in the long run, so I do my best to play the part.While curtsying, Dominic introduces me to Frederic, the elder of Allen town. He is an older man than Eric by about twenty years I would say and about a foot shorter. There is something about him though, that makes me feel insignificant. Perhaps it is the fact that everyone in the room seems to think highly of him.It begins to make me wonder. If Dominic wasn't king, would Frederic be? I imagine over time all these things will become clear to me, but as of the moment I can only surmise.When everyone has arrived, Dominic leads me to the head table an
Waking up, I hear all kinds of commotion in the room. "Get up my queen. You have a busy day of travel and visiting the other territories packs today. Our king will introduce you to everyone now that you are here." Monique states as she folds my undergarments and pulls the sheets off of me."My king specifically asked me to hurry up and get you dressed so you can get going. You need to be on the road by 10 to be able to reach all the destinations before nightfall." She says as her face shows signs of stress already so early in the morning.There are two others in the room with me that I have not seen before and I automatically pull the sheets back to hide my naked body. Monique notices that I hide and says, "This is Natasha and Svetlana. They have also seen more than their share of nudity." They look at each other smiling and giggle.It makes me wonder if they have seen more than they say and did m
"What are you doing?" I ask as I look down at my King who is fetching something from under the bed. "I hid a surprise for you and I am about to get it out to give to you." He answers with a giddy sound to his voice. When he pokes his head up, I see a smirk on his face and then he hands me a box. It is a small box, but very pretty. Wrapped with a blue silk bow, the red velvet box is only big enough to fit either a ring, a broach, a necklace or a bracelet. That is assuming that it is folded up. I glance at him before opening it as he leans forward to watch my reaction. Smiling, I wipe a strand of hair out of my eyes and open it slowly. When I do, I am deeply touched. Inside is a absolutely exquisite diamond ring that looks like it could belong to a princess, which I suppose I am or rather a queen. It's still hard for me to deal with the fact that one day I was a plain girl and the nex
I wake up the next morning and to my surprise, he never came to bed. The bed sheets are still made, and everything is as I left it. Confused by the situation, I decide to confront him today and find out exactly what is going on. After all, I do deserve to know what he is thinking if it is going to directly affect our relationship or shall I say the lack thereof.Making sure the bookmark is still intact, I place the book back on the desk before running a bath. Hearing a noise while waiting, I cautiously glance around the corner of the door and spy on Dominic as he changes his clothes. Clearly, he must think I am somewhere else because the next thing he does before he pulls on his pants, is to relieve his tension.Watching him, my desire for his touch is amplified when he throws back his head and howls while he touches himself. The minute he climaxes, his whole-body freezes, and he must sense me staring at him because then he rel
I lay awake at two in the morning tossing and turning. Dominic still hasn’t come to bed with me for the last several nights. In the meantime, I have spent my days and nights laying around and reading my romance novels. At one point in time this evening, I thought he was going to come to bed with me. Instead, he rushes in to change and then disappears again before I ever get to say a single thing to him. The whole time, I felt like he was trying to ignore me so he wouldn’t have to deal with the whole situation. Feeling lonely, I have spent the remainder of my hours talking with Monique and chatting with my mother and father on the phone. Not only has their contract benefited them, but now they are traveling abroad when the moon is not full. My mother shares with me wonderful stories of traveling to Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland, and the America’s. I am happy for them, but admittedly I am a little dismayed at the fact

“Knock”“Knock”I open my eyes to see if Dominic ever came back to the room last night. When I realize that he hadn’t, I climb out of bed and throw on my robe. I smell the distinct aroma of bacon from downstairs and the minute I smell it, my stomach starts growling.After I walk to the door, the knocking stops for a second and I grip the handle before opening it. Just as I turn the knob, the knocking starts again, and it makes me jump when I startle. I say with a raised voice, “Hold on, let me open it.”When I pull it towards me, I see Monique standing there with my breakfast. “Here you go, I have brought this up for you. How are you feeling this morning?” She smiles before walking in and placing it on the table in front of me.“Oh, thank you so much. How did you know I was so hungry? The minute I smelled the bacon, my stomach was growl
We walk down to dinner hand in hand after a delightful afternoon of love making and lying in Dominic’s arms. When I sit down with a huge smile on my face, Beta Anne who is sitting next to me, states, “My, my, my. Someone looks happy. If I didn’t know better, I would say that you just spent all afternoon making love.” Turning to her and wondering what she meant by this, I dismiss it quickly because I am in far too good a mood to let anything like this bother me.I feel Dominic’s hand on mine and then I turn my head and smile at him before picking up my glass of wine and sipping it. Having way too much already, I start to laugh a little as I think about what we did all afternoon. Then suddenly, what she said starts to nag at me.What did she mean by that statement? Does she know something I don’t about him? Have they been together before? All this runs through my head an
“Oh, my goodness. Dominic, come here quickly. The pups are already crawling, and Joshua just said his first word. I gesture for Dominic to hurry over so I can show him. Then I start to tickle Joshua while holding him in my arms, before asking him sweetly in my mommy voice, “Joshua, what do we say to daddy?”He giggles and then glances between Dominic and me before stating proudly, “Daddy, daddy.” In the cutest little boy’s voice, I have ever heard in my life.Dominic instantly smiles and grabs him from my hands as he raises him up in the air and pretends that he is an airplane. “Vroom.” He says as he flies him in circles before landing on the ground safely.I smile and then giggle because I can’t help how adorable the whole scene is. Especially when Dominic turns to me now and scoops me up into his arms. He gazes into my eyes and says, “I have arranged for
“What is going on?” I ask Dominic quickly as I hear loud noises in the courtyard over the cries of the pups.He glances out the window and then turns around to answer me with a worried tone to his voice, “There is a fight down below. Watch them, I will be back soon. In the meantime, bolt the door shut. I don’t know if it is the beginning of trouble or just an actual argument. If it is trouble, don’t let a single soul through those doors.”I nod in acknowledgement and then he rushes out the door. As soon as he does, I bolt it shut and won’t let anyone in unless it is him of course. Hearing the roar of someone yelling, I run to the window and see Alpha Charles and Alpha Phillip fighting with their claws out now.The minute I hear Dominic’s voice loudly over the crowd though, I know that he means business, and everyone stops talking. Everything grows quiet as he co
“Here’s mommy.” Dominic says softly in the cutest voice possible when he hands me the first of the five.He smiles so sweetly and then stares at us while I feed him. Looking up into his green eyes, I see the love there, that for so long yearned for. Pointing to him, I say in a whisper to the little one in my arms, “Your daddy loves you so much he gave his own soul to keep you around. Now that is the greatest love one can bestow on anyone.”Gazing down at the sweetest, most handsome little thing ever, I watch as his bluer than blue eyes twinkle in the light and his lips form a smile, where dimples are showing. He wriggles around in my arms and then I could swear that he winked at me. I giggle and then smile again before watching him suckle on me. This little one wastes no time because the minute he was in my arms, he found my nipple and latched onto it.Turning to Dominic, I smile a huge smil
Hearing a roar behind me, I turn around and see Alpha Adolphus rushing at me right before Dominic intercepts him. Screaming, I yell, “Watch out!” When Adolphus turns quickly and almost slashes Dominic’s throat.I can’t believe our day has started this way. It all seemed innocent until Monique ran towards me and warned me of Adolphus’s intentions. That is when I heard him behind me before the two of them started fighting. Now as I stand here watching them fight to the death, I start to cry because suddenly I feel this overpowering urge to run.Run out of the castle, and straight to my parent’s house where I know I will be safe and sound with my babies. Then it happens. At first it is a thin trickle, then a gush of liquid rushes down from between my legs.“Did my water just break? I ask myself quietly under my breath.Not wanting to cause Dominic to lose hi
“If you don’t find that lich before these pups are born, what are we going to do when he comes for the first one?” I ask Dominic with tears in my eyes and so much fear in my heart right now that sometimes I wish I had never gotten pregnant at all.Losing even one might kill me, when the depression hits and I realize that it is all my fault. All because I couldn’t stand to live without him, I could end up losing it all. Because when the lich comes for my baby, Dominic is planning on trying to kill him, in that moment he might lose his own life instead. Then what was the purpose of any of this if he isn’t here to share it all with?This whole time, I have been dreading the babies’ arrival, because I know that the lich will come soon after. Shaking my head, I sit still on the stool while waiting for Dominic’s answer. When he doesn’t answer right away, the tears start to flow steadily down
