“Don’t make a sound,” Mary whispered through the wide spaces in her small boxy teeth, the whites of her eyes flashing in the sepia blackness as we knelt, hunched behind the wide stem of a tree.

I nodded disjointedly, feeling my heart twist and squeeze almost painfully n my chest I struggled to breathe past the panic that had formed an ice-cold tower in my lungs as the snarls we had heard got closer and closer.

The tension made me feel dizzy so that the skewered form of the trees around us whirled and distorted in my vision and I felt myself slipping, falling, before the pixie-haired girl’s hot hands slapped against my shoulders.

“Snap out of it goddammit! Stay with me! Don't move a muscle, you're going to get us fucking killed Raya!” Mary hissed, sucking her lips so that they curled around her teeth dangerously and I stabbed my fingernails into my palms to battle the wave of nausea.

I couldn't die here, not like this, at the hands of Alpha Toph’s hound dogs. I had openly defied the cr

    ALPHA TOPH“No! Please! Your Majesty, I-” Sheila burst from the darkness suddenly, her widened tear-stained eyes swelling shut when I let the back of my hand crack across her face.“You are a worthless excuse of a wolf, woman!” I seethed, wrapping my hand across her arm and shaking her violently, my eyes damned near popping out their sockets when I watched her large breasts shake along with the rest of her body, my wolf’s mouth-watering urges pushing firmly against my pants in a hard-on.“Cassock,” I growled to the silhouette of the gate guard standing in the shadows and watched him jerk forward, his face a thunderous mask as the woman’s loud wails filled the air.“Carriage is ready Your Majesty, horses are docked for the raid.” He announced in a formal voice that was entirely too loud to just have been for my ears.I cut my eyes to him just as the sound of the gate bells tolling in the distance ricocheted in my ears and I felt the familiar hum of adrenaline again, snapping open my pa

    NIKOLAIOlivia Burns stomped away from me whipping her curtain of red hair in my face as she stormed into the shadows, Igor’s stunned scoff echoing slightly in my ear.I exhaled slightly, letting my shoulder fall back and feeling the pound of my heart dull until it returned to normal, before I turned to face Igor, catching the way he narrowed his pea-black eyes at me, one golden eyebrow quirked upward.“Good going Nik, you've pissed off the gods, should do this more often...It suits you,” The blonde man whispered, brushing his fingers through the peach fuzz of golden hair he had shorn close to his soul before patting me on the shoulder and skulking off for his rotations, turning to smile at me with his pink lips curved beautifully when he was on the cup of darkness before he disappeared.I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, unable to help the chuckle that bubbled from my throat when I felt the dark thing that had been swirling inside me settle.I shook myself, my lips tugging down in

    ALPHA TOPH“I can't believe the nerve of that bastard!” I growled, the words coming out in an angry hiccup as I whipped the horse to go faster, tucking my chest into the black mane and gritting my teeth as my vision glazed over.I had been thinking I would have needed to handle my brother first, but it was becoming clearer and clearer how much of a goddamned nuisance that little sidekick of his was.It was time I took care of Igor once and for all. I’d seen the way my brother couldn't be bothered about the blonde man’s movements, the way he let the man roam free in his castle and outside.“Your Majesty! The girls-” A guard started as I stormed into the castle, and I leveled him with a look that had his mouth snapping shut, striding for my throne room.I needed to feel the bones under my hand, remember the power that surged through my blade and body when I killed the bone wolves.#I had been sitting for a while, watching the courtesans dance and mingle, their murmured tittering calmin

    RAYA BANKSI was still breathing heavily, not being able to calm the shaking in my hands when the sandy-haired man led us through the infirmary quarters.“The maidservants will prepare your living quarters, but you stay here for now until the nursemaids get a good look at yer,” Igor grumbled, motioning us to the low wooden canopy bed that had been covered neatly with a thick white duvet.I settled on it embarrassedly, feeling a wave of heat creep up my cheeks as I avoided the man’s obsidian gaze, focusing instead on Mary’s slender form as she sauntered around the room, touching each and every boxed flower and sculpted figure, apparently already feeling at home.“Thank you,” I whispered, cringing at the way my voice cracked in the end and fisting my skirt nervously in my hands as the man’s dark gaze swept over me once more before I caught him nodding exaggeratedly, bowing once and excusing himself.“You didn't tell me everyone in Alpha Nikolai’s Stone City looked so hot!

    OLIVIA BURNSI slammed the door angrily behind me, breaking down in tears when my back slammed against the redwood and drawing in heaving gasps as the hot spike of pain tore at my chest.How could Alpha Nikolai do that? After I had bared myself to him! How could he toss my dignity like it was nothing more than soft biscuits that had been left out in the open for too long? And all because of that meddling village girl!“Ugh! I hate her! I fucking hate her!” I cried, slamming my fist into my knee and feeling the pain in my heart reduce when it sizzled in my knee.“Don’t we all?” A woman’s voice came from before me and I gasped, struggling to my feet and flipping the switch with my heart hammering in my chest and feeling rage burst in my belly when the blonde woman’s big blue eyes stared back at me.“Anya was it? What the fuck are you doing in my room? And without that hippie lesbo bestie of yours?” I snorted somewhat snobbishly, unhooking my blood-red stilettos and chucking them in the

    NIKOLAII felt my breath catch in my throat as I struggled to stand completely still, unable to move my eyes from the woman that was dancing in the courtyard.It had been the pounding of their footfalls that woke me up at first.What time was it? I couldn't tell from the pale blue light of the sky as I watched the two women scurry down from the opposite wing of the living quarters to squeal in the open-roofed courtyard between the two blocks.“Saints,” I heard myself gasp, unable to believe my eyes when I watched Raya and the mysterious girl that had come with her jump around in the rain, the olive-skinned woman’s dark wavy hair was matted to her face and back, the brightest smile I had ever seen plastered across her face as she stared at the near-nude woman who was fighting her along.I felt my wolf stir inside me, something primal and possessive that called out to her and wanted her to look at me like that, laugh at me like that.I felt my mouth water at the way the dark sleeping go

    RAYA BANKS“What do you mean you could HELP me?” I whispered, hardly trusting myself to breathe as the tension that had been coiled in my chest as a hungry snake twisted tighter, making me feel dizzy for a moment.I watched the woman jerk to her feet, turning to look out the window at the opposite wing once more before turning back to me just as a flash of thunder lit up the room, casting her face in an unnatural light for a split second so that I could have sworn I had seen her wolf for a split second behind those pea black eyes, watching me back.I swallowed noisily, shifting uncomfortably and waiting for Mary to finish whatever internal monologue was going through her head before she turned back to me.“We’re going to start by changing the way you look, here!” She rasped, striding to the ornately nettle-decorated dresser towering in the corner and throwing it open like she was some sort of dark Rapunzel, letting her fingers trace over the clothes before snapping a black, see-throug

    RAYA BANKS“What the hell do you think you're doing?” Olivia thundered, her mass of red hair billowing wildly about her as she pinned her furious blue eyes on me.I staggered back enough that the rain from the roof hammered onto my neck and seeped into the back of my dress, knocking a hand to my chest to calm the frantic beating of my heart.“Olivia, what are you doing out by this time? You scared me,” I wheezed, moving to push past her before I saw her hand shoot out and shove me back, making my eyebrows fly to my forehead in disbelief.“What balls you have Raya Banks, asking me that! Big fucking balls of steel, I ought to strike you where you stand,” The woman seethed, her hooded eyes narrowing to slits as she glared at I and I felt the moisture dry from my mouth.I steeled myself, aware of the ragged pants that I was breathing in and out when the woman strode toward me, jamming one pointy index finger in my face as I risked a glance around the grey lot, wondering where the hell Mar

    Raya BanksI hadn't stopped glancing anxiously through the wide carriage windows after we left until my breath caught in my throat when I saw the looming buildings of the castle up ahead and leaned back in my seat, suddenly feeling my pulse jump.“It's okay Raya, I'm here...I won't let anyone hurt you.” Nikolai growled and I felt something warm unravel inside me at the possessive tone of his voice.I nodded, searching his stormy gray eyes once more before looking out the window again at the wet plains of the fields off to the sides.And Olivia? I wanted to ask, but something stopped me and I shook the thought out of my head, resting on his shoulder instead as the giant gate of the castle creaked open and I marveled at the cheers that boomed and erupted.“Holy shit,” I whispered and my cheeks warmed to hear Nikolai laugh beside me. Gosh, I never wanted him to stop laughing! There were rows and rows of ruddy-faced wolves holding large bouquets that they threw like confetti at the carri

    NikolaiThe voices, by Jove! The rush of shadows and voices crowded into my head as I wove the moonstone around my neck must have made me mad!I roared, feeling my rage amplify and baring my teeth with bloodlust as I turned my body to see Alpha Toph charging toward me like a bat straight from hell.“You bloody prick! I'm going to annihilate you once and for all!” He bellowed, his lumpy muscled frame flying into the air before I surged forward to meet him halfway, almost stumbling when Raya’s soft whisper carried to my ears.I love you, I love you, I love you. I inhaled sharply, throwing everything I had into the fight as our bodies slammed meatily together before we landed heavily on the floor and I pushed against the bracket of his arms. His disfigured eyes stared at me from behind the barricade with such hate and venom that I threw away all the guilt I had swirling inside me.“Not if I kill you first.” I sneered, jamming my knee into his sides and watching him crumple in on himself

Watch out!” I shrieked loudly, feeling my gut wrench with fear as I saw the king get knocked down by Alpha Toph’s hulking frame.“You let a woman be your weakness again Nikolai, it's almost as if you never LEARN! Wasn't Olivia’s betrayal all those years ago enough for you?” Alpha Toph gurgled in a voice that sounded like rushing water and I felt chills wash over me as I tried to struggle to my feet before one of the shadowlings slammed their heavy foot flat on my back, knocking the breath out of me.“No!” I cried out, winded, and stretched a hand to the huge gray wolf that was being mauled ferociously by Alpha Toph’s half-human, half-beast frame. A trap! The beast had set a trap for the king and now he was cut in between. I knew almost immediately what he had planned to do but there was almost no way to warn Alpha Nikolai as he crossed the field to rescue me.Had I been his weakness? How did he find me? It couldn't have been that long since I was kidnapped an

    Olivia BurnsIt was the silence that haunted me the most now. The empty hours from dawn to dusk and everything in between, just me and the shadows, and the shadows and me.“You rest up now Miss Burns, His Highness will be back to the Stone Castle in no time.” Meredith’s calming voice rang, making me snap my eyes to her pale oval face that had lifted into an encouraging smile.“Enough, I'm positive ill turn into one of the meadow fishes if you soak my stubs any longer.” I hissed impatiently, feeling my heart squeeze when the woman only smiled, snatching up a dry, white towel from the rack before wrapping my tender feet in it and toweling me off.I sneered at the unhealthy size of the swollen lumps as she massaged them into a reasonable size, and I stirred uneasily in the low plush stool that had been placed in the sunlit room.The King had ordered renovations for me, giant blue ceramic pots with fake gold flowers at the corners of the room that hid the shadowlings from my sight.

    NIKOLAIShe was RIGHT THERE, a few feet from me before he snatched her right out of the air. So close, and yet, so far away.“It doesn't have to be this way Tophas, my mate has no business in our rivalry, let her go.” I deadpanned, hearing the din of my voice as it caught in the wind whipping about us before my brother’s uneven face jerked into an excited smile.I could hear the thud of my heart beating and was aware how fast my breaths rushed out from my chest and yet, I could do nothing but stand and wait. No sudden movements.“But you lie, brother, Raya Banks is my mate too don't you reckon?” Tophas growled, slamming one thick paw that looked like the fingers had been snapped all the way back against Raya’s full cleavage.“Please!” Raya’s desperate wheezes twisted at my heart as I held out a hand, stopping Gallagher’s copper-colored wolf from morphing out and tearing forward. I could sense his agitation, because it was double in my gut, watching the woman I loved so much desperatel

    Raya BanksI couldn't stop the shudders from running through my body before the sound of wolves laughing heartily in the distance reached my ears.“Oh God, oh God, help me,” I panted, squeezing my eyes shut and clamping my lips firmly to keep from whimpering when what felt like a tongue licked at the underside of my ass from the stone.The damned thing was alive! Like the stack of bodies in the corner of the room! Wolf zombies, immobile now, no doubt until the dark shadow king Gobar wanted to command them!“A feast! We shall have a feast!” Alpha Toph’s voice boomed in the distance and my body automatically stiffened, still as a rock.It had been some time since he left and the hearty yellow beam I could see beyond the cave opening flaps if I angled my head right had now turned a smokey gray. Dusk. I had to get out of here fast, I couldn't hope on the King any longer, he may as well have moved on with his betrothed and heir and here I was slaving away, holding out hope and waiting for

    Alpha TophMy tongue pressed against the uneven ridges of my teeth as I fiddled with the lock of the shadow king’s secret compartment.I had caught a glimpse of the mammoth beast leaving the small shed, the spot on his neck where the blood moonstone hung bare. I knew then that Gobar had to have been hiding it here. He never wore it to hunt.“Come on!” I gritted through clenched teeth, feeling my eyeballs sting as the sweat rolled down from the cliff of my forehead.Everything had begun to feel weird, it was hard enough to feed without tasting the worms from the inside of my mouth in the blood.If I could just get my hands on the dark moonstone I could stop the transformation and have SOME chance of killing the shadow king.Yes! I had to kill him, there was no way in seven hells I would have gone through all the pains to settle for being his eternal stooge!The numbers I tried to spin on the lock didn't make any sense and it was beginning to get dark.

    Meredith The Maid“MEREDITH!” My name, I answer it with pride when my mistress calls, but she does not call today. “MEREDIFFTH!” My name, whenever the mistress was in one of her moods and couldn't stand to get the words out nice and proper, her shrill tone seemed to shake me to my very core.She was in one of her moods again as I led her away from the King’s horses, holding the blubbering countess by the hand and helping her climb the stairs until we were behind the safe walls of the familiar quarters.“What time is it Meredith? I haven't had my afternoon tea and all that screaming has made me rather, famished!” Miss Olivia exclaimed and I caught my tongue between my teeth before I could tell her she had taken her lunch already. Thrice.“Of course, I'll send for it M’lady,” I cooed softly, lowering her onto the plush cushion of the high bed and propping her feet too before smothering her with the rich red duvets that had been layered on the foam.“My Merd, what would I do without y

    NIKOLAITime seemed to stand still as I swung the silver sword in a neat arc, striking the stretched meat of my best friend’s neck and feeling the sword spasm in my death grip before cutting cleanly through the bone and clanging up to my shoulders against the hard rock of the dias.My heart pounded wildly in my chest as the brightly colored room blurred in my vision for a moment before I caught the lapse and blinked everything back into focus.The silence was so loud that my ears rang from the nothingness, not a breath, not a word, nothing but quiet. I watched Igor’s blood-spattered head roll quietly down each stone staircase until it toppled in a neat circle and stopped on the floor.I was breathing fast, and heavily, with my fingers shaking on the hilt of the executioner sword I still held tightly in my hand and yet I couldn't manage to shake it off.It was like a part of me had died the moment I held the blade.
