I have no memory of my mother. She died giving birth to me. But I have every memory of my father from way back as I can remember. Every punch, every kick and every whipping. He's the Alpha of our pack. He's big and strong and for the last 15 years he's been treating me like it was my fault she died. He's made sure to point it out on every single occasion as well. He's made damn sure that I know exactly how he feels about me. It was my fault that she died. I am a curse. I should have been the one that died. Not her. Not his precious Luna and mate. The love of his life. The other half of his soul. She was so special that for me to take her away from him means that I am nothing but a bad omen. One that needs to be put in her place at every turn. He has since taken another mate. A chosen mate. Not a fated or a second chance mate because an Alpha is stronger with a mate. I've heard rumours that Father was ready to give up after my mother died but his Beta and best friend got him out of it
The second I heard my father's voice booming down the hallway my heartbeat started pounding like it was about to come out of my chest. I started to feel dizzy from the panic I was going into. "There's someone locked on the other side of this door." The man says. "Oh. She's no one to worry about. An omega. She just cleans the packhouse." Luna says. "Well, I would like to meet her." The man says. "That's not possible I'm afraid. She's not a good girl. She's rather disturbed and needs to be kept away from people." Father says. And I sat on the stairs on the other side of the door listening to the whole thing unfold. I can't say that I was surprised to hear them speak about me like that, but I felt rather upset and depressed hearing it out loud. Knowing that it's not true. Is that what they tell everyone? Well, that's unfortunate." He says. "Come on Alpha Connor. You're missing the whole party that we're throwing in your honour of being here." Luna says. Then I heard them slowly wal
"You know, it doesn't matter. I have to get back to training." Alpha Connor says standing directly in front of the door with his entire body and the door knob stopped moving. I could see his shadow under the door and he was stopping Luna from opening it. "Alright then, my husband is looking everywhere for you." She says. When I hear their footsteps recede out of the bedroom and I lean back against the door and let out a sigh of relief. I managed to get everything done and just before I was about to leave Alpha Connor's room I looked out the window and saw that they were all out in the training field on the south side of the packhouse. Alpha Connor had to be the one giving out the orders and he was showing our pack warriors different techniques to use in battle. And his warriors were helping our warriors while doing it. The first thing I noticed about the Protectors was that they were so much bigger than our warriors. I couldn't helop but wonder why that was. Why were they so much
ALPHA CONNOR POV Being the Alpha of a pack is a huge responsibility. Even for me. I am 25 years old and started this pack from nothing. We are the Protectors, a pack of warriors. Some of our members have chosen each other as mates and have started families. But I can't do that. I know that an Alpha is meant to be stronger with a Luna, but I wasn't going to just choose a mate because people expected me too. I wasn't holding out hope of finding my mate, but I wasn't going to just take any women to be the Luna of the pack that I built either. As a pack of warriors, we have become so good at what we do that we are invited to help other packs train to protect their packs. It's an honor that we got that reputation. This time we are headed off to a pack called the Diamond Pack, headed by William and Sophia Jameson. I didn't know how long this job was going to take. Or how bad their warriors were. They are starting the night off with a black tie event which none of us are used to. We don't
ALPHA CONNOR POV The following morning I woke up to the best smell in the world. The smell of a huge big breakfast that had been made for us and I couldn't wait to get dressed and head downstairs. I was about to head towards the kitchen when Miles came into the room and grabbed me around the shoulder. He also got himself a coffee and we went and sat next to the window as we saw other people start coming into the room. "Alright. I did see the Alpha go upstairs to the attic last night. He locked the door behind him so I couldn't follow but he had something weird in his hand. I couldn't make it out. It almost looked like a silver chain." Miles says, scrunching his eyebrows together. "It would have been burning his skin." I say not believing that it was silver. "Not if he was wearing gloves. Which he was. I listened the best that I could. I heard him yelling at someone but I didn't hear anyone else up there. If there is someone up there that he was beating, they kept quiet through
I felt Miles grab Aurora’s hand and her pull away from myself and her Alpha William. Alpha William was already in the middle of shifting and I jumped to the side when he lunged at the top of my body and finished the shift into his huge grey wolf before he landed on the ground. I stood there watching him completely unfazed, with a smirk on my face, finding it amusing at how he was crouching down growling at me, ready to attack. And the more that I smirked at him, the more he seemed to get pissed off with me. Which only amused me more. I might have been a little cocky right now, but I was fighting for something more than he was, I was fighting for the love of my life. He was just fighting for a slave, but I was fighting for my mate! I don’t think that had registered to him yet. So I stood back and started sprouting black fur on my arms and legs, not changing the look on my face, or losing eye contact with Alpha William as my bones started breaking and rearranging. I made a point of l
AURORA’S POV I could tell that Alpha Connor was nervous. His heart started racing a little and it scared me when he started doing that. Why was he nervous? Where was he taking me? And then I felt my own heart starting to race. And he looked over at me with wide eyes, like he was afraid of something. “Oh, it’s a couple of hours. We stay pretty hidden. I need to tell you that it’s nothing like your old pack. It’s not as extravagant as the packhouse that you are used to.” He explained. I could hear his heart rate racing still. Is that was he was nervous about? Was he worried that I would hate living in a smaller house or something? That made no sense to me. “Less for me to clean.” I say plainly. He looked at me strangely and I couldn’t really understand what that look meant. I don’t know what he was thinking right now. I just told the truth. I wouldn’t be cleaning as much. I know that my father’s mate doesn’t do any cooking or cleaning, but that’s because they had me. And that’s what
Alpha Connor was swurving all over the road, trying to get the werewolf off of the roof of the car but he wasn’t having much luck. I saw it’s paws coming down beside the car, swinging at us and it finally smashed the window right beside me. The paw was coming inside the door trying to grab a hold of me but I undid my seatbelt to get further away from it and Alpha Connor reached over and grabbed a hold of me and helped me get into the backseat. I had more room back there and I stayed on the floor like he directed me too. Alpha Connor’s claws then extended from his fingers and he swiped at the paw inside my window and he took a big lot of flesh out of the other wolf. It yelped and pulled it’s paw out of the car, but it didn’t get off of the car. He was still swurving and trying to get the wolf off and away from us but that wasn’t working. So he slammed on the brakes and the wolf that was on top of the car, flew off the front of it and started rolling along the road. “Stay here.”
We got to the hospital in record time as soon as I went into labor and I could tell that Connor was panicking. And to tell you the truth, it was driving me crazy. I was taken straight to the birthing suite that was done up, just for me. A private room with all the perfect amenities that I didn’t ask them to do but no one would take no for an answer. And Connor wanted the best for me and his baby. As soon as we got there the doctor came to examine me and he said that this baby was in a hurry. It wasn’t going to be a very long labor at all. By the time I had to start pushing Connor was really getting under my skin. “Alright, baby. You can do this.” Connor said. “No shit. I don’t really have a fucking choice now, do I?” I yelled. “It’s alright. I know that it’s just the pain talking.” He said. “No. It isn’t. You’re pissing me off. Shut the fuck up and stop touching me. That’s what put me here in the first place.” I yelled. So he stopped touching me, but he stayed right beside
AURORA POV As soon as I came through that portal, I knew it worked and that I was home again. I came through at the same place as when I went to the other realm. And I knew my way back to the castle just fine. I started running back to the castle, but I was slower these days with the stomach weighing me down. But as soon as I started getting that really funny feeling I started pushing myself to go faster and harder. Connor was in trouble and I needed to get to him now. As soon as I got to the castle, I saw wolves running off into the forest, but Connor was at the castle. I followed my feeling and his strongest scent around to the patio, only to see him standing on it and ready to jump off of it and kill himself. I practically flew through the air to tackle him backwards onto the patio, and I hurt myself as I landed as well. It wasn’t a soft landing. I stayed there for a moment when I heard Connor get up and he gasped as soon as he saw me. I managed to get up and look
Just as I was regaining my composure from being slammed onto the stone ground of the patio I growled as I got to my feet quickly, ready to abuse and scream at whoever stopped me from getting the only release from this prison that I had been living in. But when I turned to look, I saw the blonde hair covering the face of the person that was facing away from me, laying on her side on the ground. “Aurora.” I said, almost like I didn’t believe it. She turned her face to look at me, her bright blue eyes shining in the moonlight, looking straight at me. I dove on the ground next to her and wrapped her in my arms. I felt all over her back and her hair and the side of her face, just to make sure that she was real. “Is it really you?” I asked. “Of course it’s me.” She said. She slowly started getting up, but I noticed that she was having trouble. And that’s when I noticed her swollen stomach. “Oh my god.” I said. “How long have I been gone?” She asked. “You don’t know?” I ask
CONNOR POV I was laying in bed next to an empty vodka bottle when someone started banging on my bedroom door. I laid there ignoring it until the door banged open and I saw Miles standing there with his new mate Emma. “Get out.” I said, rolling over. “Connor. You need to get your ass out of this bed.” Miles demanded. But I laid there, not saying anything to him. I didn’t have anything to say to him. “Alpha. You need to get up. This pack is depending on you. They need their leader.” “Their Queen is dead.” I said. “You don’t know that.” Miles yelled. “She’s been gone for two and a half months. She would have come back to me by now. She’s dead.” I said. “Maybe she just can’t find a way back. We’ve been researching how to open a portal and we’ve come up completely empty. Maybe she can’t figure it out either.” Emma said. “I didn’t ask for your opinion.” I said. “Alpha. The people need you.” Miles said. But I grabbed my blanket and I pulled it up over my head. I heard th
It took us two days to get back to Arthur’s castle, and I was surprised to see that the damage from the attack was already fixed. His men worked pretty quickly around here. Even though it had only been two days, my stomach had swollen a lot more than it was when I killed Mila. I was actually a little curious to know how far along I was now. Because I had no idea and there was no way of telling until I got home. As soon as we got to the castle we were greeted with a hero’s welcome. It had already spread across the land that the black witch was dead. And the whole realm was rejoicing and celebrating the news. “You’re a local hero around here. Are you sure you want to leave?” Arthur asked. “As much as I think this place is beautiful, it’s not home.” I said. “I know. Come on, let’s go and see what they’ve found out.” He said. So we went inside and there were people scattered everywhere over two rooms of the castle. “Your majesty.” A woman said, bowing her head for Arthur.
As the dragon and I were battling it out, it started to realize that we weren’t going to be easy prey. When it had been distracted long enough, Arthur and his men snuck around the side and used their swords to slice the dragon’s legs. It was enough to get it’s attention and it fell back slightly, drawing it fire back from me and giving me the advantage. I released my fire at the dragon again, hitting it directly in the middle of the chest and causing it to catch on fire. It stumbled around and back into the middle of the mountain until it fell to the ground and didn’t get back up. I walked to the edge of the cliff that the dragon had fallen over and I saw Mila and another blonde woman, dressed in black also, staring up at me. Not believing what they just saw. “Did you really think I was going to let you get away this time?” I asked. “What have you done?” The woman screeched, running to her fallen dragon. “I stopped that beast from killing me. I’m sure that anyone would
I was pushed out of the way at the last second by someone who was then thrown down the hall by the electric blast. I heard Arthur start yelling and I turned around to see Uther on the ground and Arthur’s men were surrounding him. Mila started approaching us again, striking at us however she could, but I noticed that her anger was causing her to be careless and reckless. She wasn’t hitting anyone. She was just aiming towards them and hitting the building around them. So I got up and instead of using any magic against her right now, I charged at her and tackled her to the ground. I got up and kicked her in the face and stopped on her chest, causing her to have trouble breathing for a moment. I stood back and she rolled to the side and she saw the blood coming from her face, wiping it away with her hand. She looked even angrier after that, but before she had a chance to react, I kicked her in the stomach and punched her in the throat. She fell back against the wall and I gr
Knowing that my pregnancy was progressing like it would be in my world, I was unsure of just how long it would take for me to give birth. I could only have a week or two for all I know. Arthur looked really worried about it as well. I don’t think he was all that keen about having to deliver a baby. We saw the witch disappear with his soldiers and there was no way to warn the men at his castle, in case the witch was planning on attacking them. We were both worried for so many reasons and they weren’t small worries either. “Listen. I might be able to get us out of here but it’s not going to be pleasant. I just need to try and control the magic that she’s placed on the bars.” I explained. “How are you going to do that? Won’t that be dangerous and harmful?” Arthur asked.“I can handle it.” I said.“What about the baby? Are you willing to take that risk?” He asked.“What else are we meant to do? Just sit here and wait until she’s decided what shes going to do with us? I can guarantee
Arthur and I noticed that we were locked in that room alone, his other men had been captured by her soldiers somewhere along the route to the room, but we were too interested in what was happening right in front of us. Medea’s dead body and all. “I hope you don’t think this cage will hold me for long.” I said. “No. Just long enough to wipe out his army.” She said, looking at Arthur. We then heard a lot of shouting outside, so we ran to the window that also had bars on it and the soldiers outside were being attacked by Sphinx’s and Pegusas’ soldiers. They weren’t outnumbered, but they were taken by surprise and they were being attacked from all sides. “My men will tear through that pathetic army that you have down there.” Arthur said. “Maybe. But not for a while. And not without losing a lot of your men as well.” The witch smirked, before disappearing in another cloud of smoke. “Can you get out of this cage?” Arthur asked. “Yeah. But just give me a minute.” I said. “What d
