Marissa POV.

Uncertainty gnaws away at my insides as I make my way to the laboratory. I really hope Cody has found something, but my gut is telling me something isn’t right. Pushing the door open, my eyes widen. Not only is Cody here, but so is Lucy. A smirk forms on my face, oh how I would love to tease them right now, but the looks on their faces makes me stop. They both look extremely serious right now.

“Ok guys, what’s happened?” I ask as I walk close to Cody and Lucy.

“I’m sorry Dr Ramsey, I took a nap last night and when I woke up to check the results, I saw that the samples you brought had been contaminated.” My eyebrow furrow. The samples became contaminated? But how? This is seriously becoming a joke. Whoever is behind this is definitely covering their tracks well.

Sighing, I pinch the bridge of my nose as I pace back and forth, my heart beating wildly. Why is this happening to me?

“Is there any chance we could get the right analysis?” I ask as I move toward the lab chair t

    Robert POV.Dr Greyson Hawthorn is a renown medical expert. He is a werewolf who lives in the gated community here in the human world. So wolves move here to get away from pack life. Instead of going rogue, they move here for it’s safer for them to wolf out amongst the humans. The community is exclusive and only wolves can live here. I came here to see him and I was just explaining to him how much it would mean to have him become a member of my team and his insight would be extremely helpful. When Marissa walked in. I sat, shocked, as I looked at her. I wanted to say hello to her, but she turned and walked away. It hurt me that she doesn’t want to be in the same room as me. Did she reconcile with Damien? Just the thought is enough to break my heart further. “Please excuse me, your Highness.” Greyson bows as he scurries after Marissa. I nod as he calls after her and she stops by the door. I don’t turn around, but I can hear the worry in their voices. What the hell has happened that

    Marissa POV.Heading back home, I can’t help feeling sick with worry. I just know something has happened or is about to happen. Dr Brenden’s disappearance has truly scared me. I hope Greyson can find him, or at least an address for him. All I can do is wait patiently for his call, but I do not know how long that will take. I suppose I should bite the proverbial bullet, so to speak, and ask Damien what happened and where he went. After all, it was he who banished him. He is such a dickhead and right now I don’t want to ask him for anything, especially after what Jessica said earlier.I pull up to the driveway of my house and I’m thankful that the CCTV has been installed, and the front door has been replaced. The locksmith is still here as I approach him and his team. “Hi, thank you so much for doing this.” I say as I move closer to him. He stops and smiles at me as he finishes screwing the last screw in place.“No problem, love. Oh, your new furniture arrived while we were installing

    Marissa POV.“Robert, thank you.” As much as I want to hate Robert, I can’t. He did just save me from being molested by that man. “Anyone would have done the same, Rissa. But I’m glad it was me who did.” It feels nice to have a friend. If anything, I should have told someone where I was going. I dread to think if Robert didn’t turn up when he did, I could have been raped, because no-one else was willing to step in to save me.“But no-one did. It was you who stepped in and I appreciate it. My baby could have been hurt if you hadn’t.” I look down as I wipe a stray tear from my eyes. I need to start putting my health and that of my pup first and so far, I’m doing a piss-poor job.“Hey, I would allow nothing to happen to you or your baby, Rissa. I am always here for you. You know how I feel.” I stiffen at his confession. This is always going to be the issue. Even though we have feelings for each other, he is mated to my sister, and I am destined to be alone. I need to create some distan

    Marissa POV.Rogues. These wolves used to belong to packs. Some choose to leave their pack for whatever reason whilst some would have been banished. Over time, they lose touch with their human side and stay locked in their wolf form. But they all have the same distinct scent, colourings, and eye colour. The stench of death and decay, their fur no longer the colour it was when they lived in a pack. They have adapted to their environment, their fur dark as mud and eyes red as a traffic light. Once the wolf form takes over permanently, they lose all sense of humanity and go insane with the need to kill, and they don’t care who it is. They are mindless killing machines. Like zombies only after the need to satisfy their hunger and to dominate any weary traveller that strays from the path, kind of like me. I can’t survive against the rogues. “Zarah, if you can hear me, please. I need you!” I panic as I try to reach my wolf, trying my best to break the barrier that binds her in place, but

    Robert’s POV.Regret eats away at me from not stopping Marissa from coming here. If I had only told her the truth, then she wouldn’t have been nearly killed by the rogues or nearly raped by that pervert on the train. I failed her again. But I vow here and now to never do that again.Sleep eluded me when I hear a scream coming from Marissa’s room. I jump out of bed and run towards the room. Turning the light on, she is trying to thrash, but it looks like she is being held in place. My eyes widen as her back arches up off the bed as she roars in pain. Ripping the quilt from her, I place my hand on her chest and she is burning up. Her temperature is so hot that I remove my hand. Her eyes snap open, but her eyes are completely white as she chants something under her breath. Thomas and Sandra enter the room and they gasp at what they are seeing. “Do something. Help her!” I shout as I grip my hair, not knowing what to do, when a snarl rips out of Marissa before a loud primal, guttural howl

    Marissa POV.The thunder wakes me up. Something feels different in me. Like something is calling to me. But I’m not sure what. Shuffling towards the edge of the bed, I place my feet down as I stand. I wince as I collapse on the ground with a thud. Damn stupid ankle. How could I forget my ankle was damaged? Robert enters the room and sees me on the floor.“Why didn’t you shout me? Instead, you tried to stand on your own. Stay still and listen to me.” he scolds me as he picks me up bridal style and carries me into the living room. Not only are Thomas and Sandra both in the living room, but another man, too. I look at him warningly as he offers me a small smile. Ok what is going on?Robert moves to the sofa and sits down with me on his lap. I try to move, but he growls and I stiffen. He leans back as his thumb rubs soothing circles on my lower back. I lean into him. “Marissa, how did you sleep?” I turn my head to Thomas as he and Sandra look at me cautiously.

    Marissa POV.Is he joking? I study his face, but I don’t see any hint of him not being serious. I chew the inside of my mouth. “Robert, don’t play with me.” I whisper as I look away. Jen is everything he could ask for in a mate, well apart from her murderous intent and lying nature. “Rissa, I’m not playing games with you. I love you.” I slowly look up at him as I try to process his words. “Why do you want me? I’m not young or beautiful. I’m pregnant to another. I’m not worthy of you or your Lycan. Please, just marry Jen. She is your fated mate.” I shift off his lap and shimmy further away from him. “Rissa, you are beautiful. You have a unique beauty that I have always loved. You’re kind, caring, passionate and fierce. What is there not to love about you?” I look away from him as I wipe my eyes. No-one has ever said what he just has. Is he just sweet talking me and using me as a rebound?“Rissa, you inspire me to be better. Not to settle. I have always been drawn to you, even when

    Robert POV.All night, I sat next to Marissa’s bed, thinking about everything that has happened since I waltzed back into her life. Everything that has happened to her is my doing, but I want to make it right. I can’t leave her. I love her. I spoke to Anders again after the revelation of Marissa’s dream. Something doesn’t add up. How can she be the cursed wolf of The Snow Vale Pack? I groan as I stroke her face as she sleeps. I jolt back when I feel the slight tingles. My eyes widen as Nero purrs. This isn’t possible. You only feel these tingles with your mate. I tilt my head back and close my eyes. So many questions fill my head. There is only one place that holds the answers I seek and that is The Snow Vale Pack. “I will get to the bottom of this, my Regina. I will not leave you again. You have my word, you are mine.” I kiss her forehead as a small moan leaves her perfect lips. I move to the sofa and lay down. My forearm resting on my forehead as I look at the ceiling.“Selene, w

I thought it was over until Robert took my hand and I turned to face him.“Marissa, you have always been my Regina, my queen. I have loved you always and I will continue to love you until I take my last breath. My queen, my love. My heart, body, and soul belong to you and only you. Will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?” I look at him with my mouth agape. I chuckle to myself as he pulls out rings from his pocket. He looks gorgeous in his royal attire. The red, gold, and black.“Yes.” I say without any hesitation. He turns to the elder and gives him a nod and he starts to speak about marriage and that is it, a sacred bond. I stand, shocked. Wait, we are doing this now?“No time like the present.” Zarah says in my head, and I guess she is right. I’m lost looking at Robert, who winks at me. Why the sly dog.I don’t really hear everything.

I found every opportunity to cause an argument with him and I threw the betrayal in his face on every damn occasion.He let me rant and rave because he knew I needed to get it out. Even though I knew it was wrong to throw it in his face, I needed to vent and make him realise it still hurt me. He just held me as I screamed and sobbed. After that, something in me just changed towards him completely.He proved to me that he will never do it again and it took time for me to believe him even when I pushed him away time after time. He came back to me every single time to prove to me that he would never hurt me again. In fact, the only one I was hurting with rehashing the past was me.

I have been seeing Steven for a few weeks now and he is kind, funny and a genuinely nice person.Steve is an Alpha, but because I never had my coronation as queen, he didn’t know I was Robert’s mate. So when Robert left, I had to tell him who I actually was. He is a new Alpha and took over the position when his Alpha died a year ago. He was originally the Beta of his pack and he hasn’t found his mate.When I told him who I was, he freaked out, which is understandable. He had heard of the True Luna, but didn’t know it was me. When his Alpha was called here three years ago, he wasn’t with him as he was running the pack. So he had no idea who I was.“So you are technically our queen, then? And King Robert is your fated mate?” I remember the look on his face when I confirmed who I was. The poor guy looked like he was about to have a heart attack.I exp

Some would say it’s a little too late and I know that. I should have been stronger, but I wasn’t. Just because I was big and strong physically. Mentally and emotionally, I wasn’t. I was depressed and weak and I gave in. Goddess knows I tried to resist the urges, but I couldn’t.The day my world came tumbling down around me, I knew I had to change.

She is in labour.“Mom, mom Marissa, get to Snow Vale. She is in labour.” I shout as I breathe through the pain. Nero has refused to speak to me and I know he is allowing me to feel her pain. He has the ability same as every male wolf to lessen the pain so the human can remain strong to support their mate through the labour process, but he won’t do that. He wants me to feel everything.My insides feel like they are on fire and being ripped out through my ass. Fuck! I grit my teeth as another one builds and I pant like I’m the one pushing.
