“Are you sure she’s doing it on purpose?”I look at Rafie and see his form leaning against the window, his face to his kingdom.The anger that boils in my blood is hot and potent and my fist clenches at how he sounds so unconcerned.I hate to say it, but he’s right to be unconcerned. People of our caliber don’t fall in love after losing it. I shouldn’t be annoyed at the fact that I can't read Adelaide’s mind anymore. I shouldn’t be pissed at the fact that she refuses to talk to me and now has cut off the only route I can take to know what she’s thinking.I should be angry at the fact that she thinks she can hide her thoughts from me, the lowly werewolf that she is.I shouldn’t feel angry at the fact that she’s hiding her thoughts by thinking about Cain all the time.When she came to the room last night, it was Cain.In her sleep, it was Cain.There was a brief moment when she was dazed this morning, but that only lasted for a moment. She looked to the side and saw me facing her, her

My heart twists when I hear Lyros’s words. It’s not exactly the words he uses but it’s more the tone. Lord Lyros sounds a touch broken, no, he could never be broken. He’s just masking his annoyance with this act. Considering the fact that he has me backed up against a wall, my neck in his hand, and my heart pounding an erratic beat in my chest, he doesn’t seem broken. He’s annoyed, and as I realize that, pleasure flows through me. My mental wall is still up. It’s been barely two days since Alizadeh taught me how to create one yet I've done much with it. I took the initiative to create the strongest wall I could, but instead of just guarding my thoughts, this wall has one other purpose. I meet Lyros’s eyes and my gaze is defiant as I look at him. “I don’t know what you’re talking about Lord Lyros.” Lyros’s grip around my neck tightens just a bare inch, but it’s enough for me to feel the lack of oxygen gradually ensuing. Lyros stares at me and his face contorts between two emot

It’s hard to believe what I'm hearing so I do my best to keep a straight face and appear unaffected. I can see this for what it is.Lyros doesn’t do anything from the goodness of his heart, he isn’t being benevolent by doing this, this is a business deal. He’s giving me something I want because there’s also something he wants. We lock gazes and I prepare myself for his request. It could be anything.He could ask me not to see Cain anymore or spend all my days with him. I’ll find a way out of it if I need to, but that might also be at the risk of Cain being hurt again and I don't want that.“Two kisses.”The wheels in my head come to an abrupt halt and it’s so sudden that I stare at him for a full minute, totally lost.Lyros smirks and he nods. “Two kisses, Adelaide. A small price to pay for me releasing Cain. I will decide when and where these will happen and if you agree, I’ll leave you to focus on your mission here,”The mission HE sent me on.Is he causing all these problems so

The doors to the dungeons open up with a creak and my body tenses.I feel feverish.I have ever since the day Adelaide came and hallucinations are just one part of it. My head hurts, my heart spins, my stomach roils and I have retched so much that it stinks now that it’s dried.Rafie’s dungeons have panels of silver lined into them, pure unrefined silver alchemized to hold just a touch of wolfbane.Wolfbane is a lethal poison to most werewolves, and silver doesn’t help either. Together, they can keep a full Lycan at the brink of a near-death sickness.Their body will react so violently to the effects of the combined elements and it leads to blood convulsions when exposed to weak wolves.The strongest Lycan might encounter madness when exposed.The protective platings must have been pulled off on just a small section after Adelaide visited.Adelaide is a constant thought in my mind and I think she’s one of the reasons I haven't gone mad yet.I always imagine that she’s with me, free a

Cain smiles when he sees me and I feel tears prick the back of my eyeballs.His eyes are still bleary from the effects of his slumber and the crescent moons look hooded when he peers at me through half-open lashes.I duck back out the entrance, and for lack of a better thing to do I snap my fingers at the healers.They come running to me immediately.Alizadeh ordered them to obey every order I give and though they sneer behind my back, they don’t disobey. Leah is the only person I’ve seen work healing magic before so when the females walk towards Cain’s bed and one of them tentatively places a hand on his chest, I watch with rapt attention.A soft light seems to emanate from under her splayed palm.It takes me a minute to remember that Cain’s shirt is a thin white linen shirt. This close, as the fabric rests on his body and the sweat from his fever-filled sleep makes it damp, I can see the contours of his body.I can see the outlines of his round shoulders and his firm well-built p

Safira all but flies into Cain’s arms when we descend the stairs and enter the living room of the manor.I think I hear her sob a bit, but Cain hugs her back and whatever sound she’s about to make dies as she buries her face into his chest.Priam clears his throat as he lounges in the seat he’s in and Safira separates from Cain to shoot him a glare.I realize that I still haven’t spoken to her.The last time we met, we didn’t part ways too pleasantly. Of course, I did get royally messed up by Lyros afterward.“Oh.”Safira’s jasmine floral scent wafts into my nose and her body radiates a beautiful kind of warmth. She hugs me, and my surprise abates fast enough that I hug her back before we separate.We don’t say anything to each other, but this hug feels like we have reached a mutual understanding and I find myself feeling grateful for that.She pulls back from our hug and I feel a twinge of regret. I almost forgot how good a hug feels.Alizadeh walks into the room and I look at Cain i

“Please, let me know if you find him.” Alizadeh nods at Cain’s words and I can feel the surprise that spreads through the room. It’s not like Cain to ask for anything, or anyone. “Come Adelaide.” My brows go up in surprise but Cain doesn’t seem to notice or care. He walks away from the group and after exchanging a brief glance with Safira, I follow him. Cain walks through this place like he knows where everything is. His steps are sure and purposeful and soon we walk through an archway that leads into a garden I didn't know existed. My words are half surprised, half amused as I ask. “You’ve been here before haven’t you?” Cain turns his head and nods. “Just once, when I attempted to run away from Lyros.” What?“You did that?” The surprise in my tone must be heavily evident because Cain chuckles and nods. “I was sixteen at the time. I felt Alizadeh was a better option than Lyros. Rafie didn’t pay me any attention then so I didn’t consider him. I escaped here for a while and tri

Cain grills me on what I've learned about Ashryn so far and I almost feel bad that I am not able to offer more than I do.I tell him the little I have learned, that Ashryn was a stellar prince but he wasn’t the only prince. He was the only child and son of his werewolf mother, but Aquinas had another wife, one who had four sons.Four totally unremarkable sons.Cain half frowns and half smiles when I lay emphasis on that part.“You believe something is up with that number don’t you?”At this, I shrug and struggle to keep my face and reaction neutral but I can tell Cain sees right through it.He huffs in amusement and I can't help the smile that creeps up my face. There’s no need for me not to smile, and hey, no one ever said I couldn't speculate.How often does it happen that some super-powerful prince who eventually went on to rule this land, had four totally powerless brothers who unlike him had a complete Lycan parentage?Not so often, and it’s too coincidental for me not to read an

Cain grabs onto my waist and kisses me, hauling me up and plastering me against him. His voice is a rough husk in my ear as he whispers “You did it, Adelaide.” Tears run down my eyes and he hugs me, holding my body to his as I sob into his chest. I don’t think I'd believe what just happened if someone told me it would a few months ago. All I wanted was to be free and run off to hell knows where, but I'm glad for what I did. Now I know I have parents, parents who loved me and a mother who would have done anything for me. I’m not just the pack omega destined to be maltreated and beaten for all of her life. The suffering I went through changed me. It gave me tougher skin and with the power of my heritage… I've just won back my kingdom. Freedom is mine if I want it. Freedom, and power, and love, if I want any of it, and all of it, and I do. I really do. I kiss Cain again, just to cement the fact that we are a thing now. We’re more than a thing. I’m wearing his ring. He’s as much

Lyros is no longer the all-powerful Lycan lording his majesty over the weak populace. We are powerful in our own right now.And in the face of real power, the Lycan king can only do one thing, cower, like a coward.Lyros attempts to run but almost like he knows it’s futile there’s no spirit in it. Lycan speed might have given him a chance, but running was just one final way of making a dash for his life.I flash and slam Lyros with my sword, the blade slapping the side of his face and drawing blood as he tumbles to the ground. I lean down and whisper close to his ear,“I don’t intend to kill you Lord Lyros.”I feel his heartbeat intensify as my words graze his ears but I continue confidently, “I intend to make you pay for all you’ve done. For the young girls you plucked from weak werewolf packs, only to kill them after torturing them, their dreams ended and hopes cut short because of your wickedness. I intend to make you pay for the cities you’ve attacked, the people you have killed,

I rip through the fabric of space as I burn.I feel the Lycan’s flame coursing through my being and it sets me on fire with the force of a supernova. I feel the strength of a thousand stars in me. The flames lick at my dress, burning it short and tattered, turning me into a version these men see, but which they don’t see at all.I wonder how many times Lyros has looked at me and seen nothing but skin. Nothing but clothes in pieces, flesh for the taking, a body to be claimed, and a mind to have fun with.I wonder how many times he’s seen skin and ignored the fire that rages in my heart. Ignored the love I have for the simple things. Ignored the fact that I am more than just skin and flesh, that I am heart and brains and emotion. That I am not his plaything.I am a Queen, and this Kingdom is mine.I kill the King beyond the border first. The battle with him takes less than an hour.In my hand is a sword hot as flame and solid as diamond. Rafie attacks me next so I slay him too.Raymel

We all stand in wait for her.Me, Rafie, Alizadeh, and Galan, all four Lycan kings, we wait for a weak omega female and something hollow rings in my chest. It was stupid to think I could find love.Even before the truth of Elara’s betrayal was revealed to me, I already knew. I already knew something was wrong with my heart and that I couldn't love properly anymore.I should have left it out of the cards, left love to those foolish enough to crave it but instead, I had to go ahead and try to keep her. Adelaide made me imagine something hot and exciting between us, something fiery and passionate, but at the end of the day, she’s expendable.She’s always been. Only I matter.A kingdom rests on my shoulders.“Is she on her way?”Rafie’s voice grates against my nerves but I nod. I’m not angry at him anymore. He’s doing what I didn't have the strength to do.Galan chortles where he stands and I feel my hands clench. I should kill him for using his trickster magic on me, but he saved my life

“How sweet.”Cain’s hand stops immediately and my foggy brain can’t even make sense of what’s happening. Has Cain taken me to the point of release this morning? Yes.I’m worried I might be a horndog.I turn to see Safira leaning on the doorframe. Her dress is so pretty, it drapes over her body like liquid and damn, I almost forgot how pretty she was.She smirks as her eyes meet mine, “Should I leave?” Cain answers sweetly before I can and his reply makes me chuckle. He goes “Yes please.”Safira’s hand twitches and a pillow launches itself at the back of Cain’s head. I let it hit and burst into subdued chuckles when he lets out a slight “oof.”Safirs sighs and shakes her head “You have a meeting in like six minutes. Will you be down?”Cain smirks lazily and shrugs. Safira’s gaze darts to me and she fixes me with an inquisitive stare, “Will he be down?”I nod because despite how much I want him to stay with me and kiss me silly, he’s already explained to me how things are here.He has

Diane visits me one last time in my dreams. She smiles at me and though my heart breaks, I smile back at her.I know this is the end. This is the last time I will see her, and as we stand on the sandy beach, our eyes locked on each other and the resemblance undeniable, I let her embrace me as a mother would her child, and I cry so bad my heart feels like it’s going to break.Diane kisses my forehead and wipes my tears, “You’re stronger than your pain my love. You know that right?”I want to nod. I desperately want to nod. The moment I saw Cain, the reality of what had happened to me seemed to come crashing down on me. The moment I saw Lyros instead of him, saw flashes of me and him behind my closed eyes each time I blinked….. How do I live with that?How do I live with the knowledge of all the things I did with the man I hate? A man who used me?I wish I could forget.“This is fire Adelaide,” I clutch Diane closer as she pats my hair down, tears still streaming down my cheeks “Like g

Anger makes my teeth crack as Adelaide asks me a question. She looks up at me, uncertainty in her eyes, her expression scared and bleak.“Would you still love me, if I showed you what Lyros and I have been doing these past few months?”Something threatens to snap in me but I know what this is.I’ve seen this before. I’ve done this once.I nod and Adelaide’s shoulders shudder. I can see how fervently she’s trying to control herself. How ferociously she’s attacking the emotions that are surging forth.Something’s happened, and when I ask her, she tells me everything.Trapped in a memory chain of the Lycan King’s making for three months, her magic being the thing he used to fuel that spell, Lyros turned her magic into her trap, and then she tells me what the memories were about. Entire years' worth of memories of her waiting for him patiently in the fortress.Memories of how he saved her from her pack and brought her to a better life in his care, Memories of how she became his personal p

Cain and Safira comfort me and tell me it’s okay. I can feel Cain’s concern for me like eyes at the back of my head.He’s always staring at me. He looks at me with such intensity that I feel all the things in my stomach churn and my thoughts go filthy. Memories flash past my eyes each time I close them.Memories of me and him in this world.Memories of me and him in a cave, happy sated smiles on our faces and our bodies totally unclad. We’re nude, and we’re comfortable.I see memories of deep and easy loving. Love that took me to the peak of pleasure, and threw me off the edge of my climax, again, and again, and again.My body begins to warm and Safira hits me on the arm, “For skies’ sake, Focus Adelaide. Are you sure you’re okay?”I turn to her and at the sight of familiar deeply tan skin and obsidian black eyes, a smile lights up my face. “I haven’t spent a day here and I’m already being mothered.”Safira grins and chuckles at that, and I feel light in my heart.She and Cain give

My heart melts with each passing moment i listen to Cain’s words and I almost can’t believe this is happening.My mind tells me if I blink he’ll go away, so I keep my eyes wide open, and I stare at him. I know it’s real when he stares at me in that same way.The lines of Cain’s face look new to me now. His warmth feels so familiar yet so alien. There’s an air around him that I can’t place, but I love every bit of it.I love it the way I love him, and when he leans in to kiss me again, I can feel the desperation in his touch. He’s as scared of me leaving as I am of him not being real in this moment. Finding him shouldn’t be this easy.It shouldn’t have been this easy, yet it was and I can’t seem to believe that.A sudden scream makes me cling to him like a frightened puppy until my brain realizes i know that voice.I know the texture of that squeall. I’ve heard that feminine tilt before.Safira’s scent invades my senses immediately and a warm body plasters itself to mine. She’s sobbing
