RAYA BANKSI was still blushing when I caught a hint of movement in the other cell, only just remembering that Judith had been there.Saints! That was how mad the Alpha drove me, something about being around him just made it seem like we were the only two people in the room. “Judith? Are you there?” I wheezed, stopping to catch my breath and cleaning my head with a frown when only the wind from outside Whistler back to me.“Judith? Can you hear me?” I whispered again, fiercer now as I pressed my head against the steel, catching a brief glimpse of her pale clothes in the shadowed cell opposite before my temples began to throb and I let out a breath I didn't realize I had been holding.Had the poor woman fallen asleep? That was weird considering I hadn't expected Judith to be the type to sleep so easily. If the dark circles under the pale skin of her eyes were any indication, I would have sworn the woman didn't get any sleep at all. Tormented, that was how she looked.“Saints above,”

OLIVIA BURNS“That’s it! Enough! I've had enough of that goddamned woman!” I shrieked after His Highness had majestically swooped past.I had felt my heart seize its beating in my chest when I watched him stride through the aluminum cell doors, tall and elegant, with the feather boa of a good bouncing softly to his shoulders, his brilliant obsidian hair catching the silver of the moon as it glistened and he walked past, a faint smile lingering on his full pink lips.Nikolai did not smile. He never smiled! Not with me anyway. Not anymore.“I'm going to show that whoring bitch how to stay in her lane! I'll kill her today!” I growled through clenched teeth, dashing out from behind the rock where I had been missing and running full speed at the closed cell doors before I felt Anya’s hand snag tightly around my arm, jerking me painfully to a stop.“Snap out of it Olivia! Fucks sake!” Anya hissed harshly in my ear, surprising me when she put me in a strong bear hug that I couldn't wiggle

Alpha Tophas“Unnghhh!” I shifted inside the uncomfortable sleeping bag that felt like it had grown limbs that wrapped tightly around my neck.I could feel the warm light of the sun pressing heavily into the back of my eyelids before I cursed briefly and stretched awake. “What the hell?” I wheezed, rubbing at my still-heavy eyes as I glanced around the small tent, not knowing where I was for a moment and expecting to see the wood walls of my cottage house in the woods, confused when my eyes followed the green tarp of the walls before sighing heavily as realization sunk into my pores.What time was it? I groaned again as I stretched to my feet, gritting my teeth when my hair brushed the low roof of the tent so that I had to duck completely.I fucking hated being under anyone’s control. I peeked through the cunt-looking flaps of the tent, surprised to find that it was earlier than expected.There were rows and rows of tents, hundreds even of the foul beasts sleeping on the grassy field

ALPHA NIKOLAII slammed my hands on the table for what felt like the hundredth time and watched the light elders jolt with some measure of satisfaction.“What the hell do you mean by you won't let me release her? Raya Banks is not a threat to the throne! She's my mate!” I growled bitterly, resisting the urge to rise to my feet and let my wolf settle this the way it settled everything. With a long, bloody fight.“Half-mate,” Igor offered quietly from his seat beside him before I leveled him with a dirty look and he clamped his mouth shut again.Whose side was the little shit on anyway? We had been sitting at the round table of the main city for hours, and I could already feel my wolf growing uneasy inside me, gnawing at the steel rods of the cage I had put it in.It was almost as if it was getting harder and harder to control my temper without Raya present. Shit, was that what mate bonds did to people? A few weeks ago I was content to let her stew in the cells and now it was as if I co

Olivia BurnsMy ears were still ringing long after the woman Igor brought had stopped speaking.“Wow,” I gasped simply, barking a bitter laugh as I wrung my fingers in my lap and felt a smile bloom on my cheeks.Her confession was everything I needed to get Raya Banks banished from the Three Cities once and for all. My god, would it be a relief not to see that woman’s squirmy innocent-looking face anymore when she was a right cunt!“How soon can we do this? Tell Nikolai...I mean, His Highness?” I bristled, cutting my eyes at the long woman with her pixie-cut hair.“As soon as you can, he's already given word to have her released from the cells, and...if you're not smart about this, she's going to take your place as his betrothed.” She whispered with a crooked smile and I felt my brows knot into a frown at the gesture.There was something off about the woman, something I couldn't put my finger on yet but I didn't have time to think about that now.I felt my hands tighten to fists on my

RAYA BANKSI couldn't tell what time it was from the light outside when I snapped to sit in bed, feeling my heart pounding furiously from the nightmare I could still see and smell behind my eyes.I had been idling at our old cottage house this time, peering out the windows into the dark streets where my father was lying dead.Someone had taken a knife straight through his neck, and the decapitated thing was now lying on the grimy asphalt, facing me, the empty spaces where eyes had been flashing in the darkness when a pearl of lightning struck.“Blasted heavens!” I wheezed, knocking a hand on my chest to keep my heart from bursting with fear.I felt rooted to the spot, unable to move as a rumble of thunder sounded from the distance, seeming to shake the whole house with its intensity.I peered through the dark rims of the window pane again, shrieking loudly and bolting awake when I saw a white skeletal face pressed against it.The face of a wolf. My mother’s face.“Lady of the moon,” I

NIKOLAII whipped the reigns on the black horse I had been riding s we broke out from the trees and I caught a peek of the staggering mass of stone up ahead.It was almost morning, the sky was red and stained by smoky grey clouds hiding the yellow of the sun.The sound of hooves thundering through the grass drowned out everything else and I could feel the heaviness set in my bones as I tightened my thighs on the horse’s flexing sides.My castle! The words dropped in my head as I exhaled with relief, already catching the scent of pines and wild berries that lined the walls.“Wildings! Your Highness! From the north!” Gallagher screeched suddenly and the sound of the horses neighing filled the air as we slammed to a stop just outside the towering stone walls of my castle.I whirled to look behind us, my eyes widening at the sight of the hundreds of wolf Shadowlings that seemed to be pouring like water from the trees, rushing at us in the semi-darkness.“Quick! Blow the horns! Everyone up

Raya BanksThe blast of lightning behind my eyes made me scream as I felt the creature’s claws drag around the side of my face and I squeezed my eyes shut, shifting into my wolf and whirling around to catch only air, the beast’s mocking laughter echoing sinisterly in the dim hallway.“I found you, little girl,” The thing drawled in a snakey whisper and I gulped reflexively, scrambling back as a whimper escaped my throat.It could talk! Since when did the shadowlings speak? The black bull with red eyes and a glimmering gold nose ring stared down at me from it's gigantic haunch on the wall, it was still. Motionless.Something was wrong, but I didn't have time to think about it. I could still hear Laura’s muffled screams from behind the door asking me to open up, but somehow, the creature remained focused on me.I inhaled sharply, digging my hind legs into the hard floor and shooting up to rake my claws at the shadowing’s face before letting out a gasp when it dodged.“No!” I screamed as

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.

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.
