The Bloody Claw pack celebrated well that night and the following days. So did the fringe packs that were ruled by Rowan and the Shadowmoon pack. Alpha Rowan was heir to the throne, and Alicia was to be the future Luna Queen.

Many congratulated Rowan, pulling him away from his mate at the bonfire they had alight while music blasted in the background, pack members drank and ate from the bar and BBQ. Zara had remained at the pack, not wishing to go home, so she spent time annoying Garnet until Alicia returned and Maggie escaped her oppressive parents—her words not Alicia’s—and joined the party.

As an introvert, she’d prefer to put up with awkwardly standing at a party and possibly forcing light conversation with others than staying at home any longer.

Although Alicia had met Maggie’s parents, they had been nice but certainly stern. They didn’t approve of her choice of course- pharmacology; it was her first rebellion against them. They wanted her to study Law or Medicine to the point she

    The Bloody Claw pack members did not panic as Alpha Rowan updated them on their defences, and the pack attacked their territory. They swiftly and calmly returned to their collective homes, and those that would fight joined the Alpha, Luna, Beta and Gamma.Alicia hadn’t seen Zara and Maggie for a while; she presumed Zara found Maggie and had gone to their guest rooms. Zara could protect Maggie if it ever came down to it. Alicia was confident in the Bloody Claw defences, so she was not worried about her friends.Those on patrol had reported back to leaders about the broken lasers and the werewolves behind the walls, who were already entangled with their attackers.‘Do you recognise anyone who can identify the pack?’ Alicia mind-linked to the one in command there.Rowan, Voss and Garnet were also in the mind-link and waited for their answer. The leaders were spread out to different areas of the pack. Although they were being attacked from the front, it was possible there were others that

    His smell was almost intoxicating, or maybe it was the two cocktails Maggie had. She was acting much braver than usual, and no, it had nothing to do with how good-looking this guy was. Sure, he was hot, but not at all her type.What the hell was she thinking? Not her type?!The man leaned forward so their faces were mere inches apart. “I wonder, is this you talking or the alcohol? Your friends made it seem like you didn’t like people. Yet here you are having a conversation with me.”Maggie narrowed her eyes at him. “I don’t,” she clipped back. “So, get OUT of my personal space, and stop backing me into a corner. Are you a wild beast? I can tell you now… I will be of no use to you.”The man’s eyebrows shot up, eyes twinkling as though he found Maggie riveting. “I’m not here with Blue Crescent. My job is done.”His job was done? What did that mean? Maggie frowned. So he was here for a reason, yet he wasn't WITH the pack attacking. “What was your job?”“If I answer your question, will yo

    In his sports car, Rowan sped away from the pack after dishing out orders to help those in need. Alicia slept beside him, even though she’d been excited by being in his car, sliding her hands along the fine leather of his seats and the rumbling of the car’s engine.Rowan didn’t want to bring Alicia with him to the palace. She was exhausted after using her powers on so many werewolves at once. He knew she’d been practising, but it had never been to such degrees.He could see how pale Alicia was, dark circles now ringing her eyes like she hadn’t slept properly in days, but it was because she was drained. Still, his stubborn mate insisted on coming with him. If he didn’t take her, then Alicia would find a way to join him. It was better to give in to her.“Jeeves, call Alpha King Titan,” Rowan called out to the AI set up in his car.“- Calling Alpha King Titan –“ Jeeves answered in its robotic voice, followed by the ringing tone.“What is it?” Titan answered gruffly.“Tom and his best war

    “Keep her pinned,” the man who seemed to be in charge continued.“Touch me, and I’ll kill you,” Alicia spat as the men adjusted their holds.The men chuckled as the one in charge, a larger man in his forties with a wedding band, leaned over her and placed a silver collar over her neck. A SILVER COLLAR! Alicia gasped at the fire rippling across her throat, spreading and taking her breath away.It was to stop her from shifting and escaping. Tears sprang to her eyes, but she refused to let them fall for this man. She glared and bared her teeth, daring him to try and kiss her. He wouldn’t have any lips left.The man smirked, unbuckling his pants as he stroked the side of her face.“What are you going to do, fairy princess?” Alicia almost flinched at the nickname some of the people had begun calling her.She froze at the sound of the belt buckle, followed by the jerking movement of his hand. She refused to look down at his actions as nausea rushed up her throat.“Leave her alone, Henry,” a

    Days went by as Alicia was left to the cruelty of Void. He didn’t just whip her body but beat her to a pulp. Marks were left on her from the cut of a knife, yet they’d never been deep enough to leave scars.The torture was never meant to leave any marks, just as Tom instructed. Alicia was left to hang from the wall; the numb and aching pain in her shoulders and body kept her nights sleepless. She tried to gain some strength, but it was useless.Void knew what he was doing, even when he wasn’t there. The torture wasn’t only physical but mental. Alicia begged to relieve herself, and when it never came, when her bladder was painfully bursting at the seams, she cringed as she peed herself.By this point her clothes had already been changed into rags. It looked more like a sack meant for potatoes, leaving her arms and legs bare. Still the putrid smell clung to her. If she wasn’t allowed to use a toilet, neither was she allowed to clean herself.Alicia was being treated worse than an animal

    Tom chuckled at Alicia’s outburst. She looked so cute in her outfit, the collar around her neck. He’d lost himself in watching her form, the press of her breasts in the dress he picked out for her, that it took him a while to notice Void was still by the door.Granted, the door was closed, but Void was lingering.Tom narrowed his eyes at the masked man. “Is there a reason you are still here?”Void didn’t reply; his head moved, looking in Alicia’s direction. Tom looked between them, noting how Alicia seemed more comfortable with the man who had been torturing her for days than with him!With one lingering look, Void left Alicia to her fate. Tom looked back at her on the ground, searching her body before blowing out his breath at the signs of her torture. Whip marks, bruising, and cuts that were fading away.Even with the markings, she was utterly breathtaking.“Have you given it any thought?” Tom asked, taking a seat in front of the mattress. Alicia’s leash had been tightened, so she c

    “Come on then, pet.” Tom took her leash and tugged on it.Alicia’s lips parted, tripping over herself to keep up with Tom’s strides. It was utterly humiliating. Not only was this collar and leash humiliating, but still being dressed in this chemise, her breasts bunched together and her long legs on display, the lacy thong riding up her ass and vagina almost on display.They walked up some steps, though it was a lot of effort on Alicia’s part. Her wounds may be healing, but the silver collar radiated along her skin, keeping her weak.Tom whistled nonchalantly, his back still to Alicia, completely content with the situation. Did he not deem her a threat? She eyed the leash.All she had to do was jump onto his back and wrap this leash around his neck.Alicia took one silent step and another, creeping up on Tom-“I wouldn’t do that,” Tom said, looking over his shoulder. “You would only stir my excitement at your pitiful attempt at escape. Do you really want to be railed against the wall

    Time passed in a blur, and Alicia didn’t know when it was day or night. Not even Void returned to her cell, where she remained curled in a ball, sniffling as her heart bled with the wound that festered over her mate. Rowan was dead?How could he be? She’d only had four, almost five years with him. That was not nearly long enough. They were building a future together, a future that would better the werewolf society. That aside, Alicia couldn’t fathom her life without him.“No, no, no… Rowan’s not dead… He can’t be… No…” Alicia shook her head, cradling it in her hands as she rocked in a comforting manner.Rowan couldn’t be dead. Alicia denied it, muttering her thoughts aloud like a crazed person. Perhaps she was. If her mate was dead, then her mind would shatter along with her heart.From the beginning, there had been a spark between them, a deep passion for each other. Rowan was the one who helped bring Alicia’s strengths forward. He never looked down on her, and always urged her to sp

    Hiding in the bushes, the night had finally come when they were putting their plan in motion. Alicia felt like a thief in the night, especially since she finally got her clothes back. All of them black, a great camouflage for the middle of the peaceful night that was about to turn blood red.Alicia’s hair was hidden beneath the hood as she stared at the palace from a distance. Alpine had finally returned to her, and the first thing her wolf scolded Alicia about was Talon.‘He’s up to no good, child,’ she warned. Alicia needed no warning, however, because she didn’t trust Talon anyway.Alicia only trusted in the plan. They needed the vampires for numbers and power to overthrow the Crown.With Alpine’s return, Alicia’s werewolf healing had improved, along with her strength and speed. The scarring on Alicia’s neck was now minimal and would soon be fully healed. Her strength was replenished.Rowan didn’t intend to use Alicia, but if the royal pack was still too powerful against his packs

    The plan to overthrow the throne within a few days was a little too optimistic. Alicia, Rowan and Lamia ended up staying at the vampires lair while they organised it. Although she’d been warned by Talon and her husband, Alicia did roam around the warehouse unguarded.Many vampires sneered and snickered, believing Alicia was acting naïve. But Alicia was protected by Talon as his guest and anyone that lost themselves to their vampiric urges, Alicia took out. Those who sneered ended up nodding respectfully at the future Luna Queen.“What is this?” Alicia asked as Hailey waltzed into the room carrying hangers of clothes.“Lord Talon requests you cover up,” Hailey explained, dipping her head respectfully at Rowan who lowered the phone from his ear, frowning at the clothes being put up in the empty wardrobe.Rowan clicked his tongue. “Did he forget to buy me clothes?”Hailey pursed her lips. “I-I could ask, Mr-”“You’re scaring her,” Alicia scolded her mate, smacking him playfully on the ar

    “Now that’s sorted, why don’t we have a drink?” Talon’s eyes glinted as they looked at Alicia, the innuendo clear.Rowan stood. “Like we said before, there isn’t much time.” He reached down to take Alicia’s hand, but Talon’s words stopped them.“We still need to make a plan. Will you accept my hospitality or continue to be rude and dismissive, especially now that you have got what you came here to get?” Talon’s voice was frosty, and goosebumps rose on Alicia’s flesh.Rowan scoffed. He could see Talon eyeing up Alicia from out of the corner of his eye or whenever he didn’t think Rowan was looking. The vampire either lusted after her or wanted her blood.Obviously, he would have neither.“We can swap numbers and go through our plans over the phone. We can return to the pack-”“Once things are resolved here.” Lamia stepped forward, interrupting her son and placing a hand on his arm, giving him a look.Rowan was about to argue, but Lamia spoke again, quietly, only meant for him. “The Quee

    Talon stared at Alicia for a beat, the growing silence tense until he burst into a laugh. His head threw back, revealing his sharp fangs in his enjoyment. Those around them relaxed, and the barman, who had paused his actions, returned to drying the glass.Alicia released a quiet breath, unaware she’d been holding it since she’d refused to tell him her name twice. She didn’t know where it came from, but the slight thrill under Talon’s gaze made her feel guilty.Alicia had seen many good-looking and powerful men, but none compared to Rowan. Now, in a matter of seconds, standing before this vampire, she’d felt almost entranced by his presence. Was it a vampire thing?No, otherwise, Alicia would have felt the same way as the others she’d seen so far. This only meant that she found Talon attractive and that she couldn’t accept, especially when her mate was right here.“Very well,” Talon smirked, his dazzling eyes twinkling as he continued to watch Alicia. “I was only asking out of manners,

    There was no plan. They just turned up at Talon’s front door.Technically, it was a gate. The Vampire Lord didn’t live in an old manor or some sort of suave penthouse like Alicia was expecting. Instead, the car Rowan managed to rent stopped in front of a closed gate before a warehouse.The entire estate had many warehouses and lorries to the side, and behind it, there were many fields. Vineyards, Alicia realised. This was a winery.“This is definitely the right place?” Alicia questioned, looking to the back seat where Lamia had been resting against the black-tinted window.“I told you we were hiding in plain sight.” Lamia shrugged. “Let me speak to them.”Lamia exited the door and went to the speaker by the gate, pressing on the buzzer and waving at the CCTV.“Lamia?! Is that you?!” A woman’s voice crackled through. “Quick, tell Talon!”Rowan and Alicia glanced at each other.“Are you going to let us in, or will I turn to ash first?” Lamia jested.Silence followed her question before

    Although Lamia’s story had been full of pain and betrayal, she still needed time to accept the death of her ex-lover. The vampiress left to take a walk leaving Alicia and Rowan to talk.“Did Tom do anything to you?” Rowan got straight to the point. “I could smell him all over you… You can tell me. I know you were imprisoned and-”Alicia cupped her husband’s face. “He did not r*pe me. I was tortured and humiliated…” She wouldn’t tell Rowan about Tom’s groping. There was no point. “If I stayed any longer he would have… I know he would. Void… the man who’d been torturing me managed to get him away from me before he could do anything.”“That piece of sh*t!” Rowan growled, his voice rumbling with his rage. His fierce eyes returned to Alicia, softening as he tugged her into him so they could cuddle on the bed.“I’m sorry I wasn’t there-”“You don’t need to be. It’s not your fault he is… disgusting.” Alicia shivered, remembering the humiliation of the silver collar, crawling around and weari

    Lamia released the dead rabbit to the ground in the forest and wiped her face. She strolled by the river to wash the remnants of the blood from her hands. There was only so many humans she could drink from every other week, ensuring they didn’t remember what happened and the bite mark healed over.So today, Lamia had to drink from animals to keep her cravings at bay. She sighed while splashing her face, her thoughts already turning to the comforts of her luxurious home. She’d already spent a week away from it.While Lamia was preoccupied with her thoughts, cupping the water in the river for a final time, something smacked into her hand. Lamia’s head whipped to the side, her hands withdrawing from the body in the body. The fresh blood and sound of a weak heartbeat forced her to run to where the body floated to, and grabbed the man before he fell down the cascading water of the waterfall.Lamia fell back with the huge man collapsing atop her. She pushed him off her, but the taste of his

    Vibrations rumbled along Alicia’s body. At first it felt like a dream. She was flying, with the wind flowing through her hair.Then the fog around her mind gradually faded, and the vibrations grew stronger until she felt herself bouncing and he head jolting every few seconds. It wasn’t comfortable yet she couldn’t open her heavy eyelids.It lasted for a while. It was like she was falling asleep and jolting awake nonstop. A horrid feeling, and one she couldn’t get out of.At long last, the movement stopped but she heard Rowan’s hushed voice with another. Rowan who she thought had been dead. Rowan who had been almost lifeless upon finding him in the hay.Alicia jolted up, wide awake, heart racing as she flailed in a panic, and searched the dark room for him. The bond tugged at her heartstrings as a light pooled into the room where Rowan walked through the door. The moment he saw her sitting up, Rowan rushed forward, the door slamming shut behind him, casting them in darkness once more.

    Lamia and Alicia ran from the cells only to bump into Void. Lamia didn’t think twice before smacking the side of her hand into the back of his head. The giant collapsed instantly.“Oh, I’m sorry. Did you want to be the one to hurt him?” Lamia turned back to face Alicia. “I know he tortured you, but time is precious.”Lamia actually looked apologetic for attacking the man before Alicia. She shook her head with a chuckle. “No, no. I never had any problems with Void.”“Void?” Lamia’s voice deepened, a frown tugging between her perfectly shaped eyebrows. “You didn’t have an issue with a man who tortured you?”Alicia shrugged. She already knew how messed up it was, so to avoid her mother-in-law’s questioning and accurately worried gaze, Alicia added, “He was following orders.”Lamia’s lips flattened into a straight line. She didn’t believe Alicia. Still, she answered, “Alright.” Like that she turned, removed the keys from Void’s belt and began putting them in the lock of the silver collar
