Nikolai“Your Highness! Your Highness!” The scribe in a long white robe that made him look more of a mushroom than anything wheezed as he burst through the huge double doors of my throne room making me snap my head up from where I had rested it on my hands.“What is it?” I hissed, watching the furry heads of the wolves present whip around to face the doors as the sinewy wolf fell at my feet.“Wolves from the lowlands Your Highness, soldiers reported seeing your brother getting carted off by the rogues,” The man cried, and I felt my heart sputter to a stop in my chest before the crowd started to murmur.What the hell kind of trouble had Tophas gotten himself into now? I gritted my teeth as the scribe rushed through the other status reports my mind whirling with the possibilities of what could happen to my brother.I hated the blonde bastard’s guts, but it didn't mean I wanted him to be carted off and used for whatever abominations Gobar fancied these days.“Blasted heavens, this is bad

Raya banksI waited for the King again this night, rocking back and forth on the narrow bunk bed and wrapping the thick cotton duvet tighter around my body as Mary’s stern voice echoed in my ear.She apologized after threatening me earlier, but somehow, I was finding it hard to accept her apology or believe that she was “just kidding,” about telling Nikolai everything.I pressed my hands to my chest, scrunching my nose at the faint scent of mildew and feeling the thumping of my heart when I heard the cell door creak loudly as it swung open. “Saints,” I gasped, slamming to sit up like some deranged prop doll and fixing my face into a smile as a whirl of emotions passed through me.It felt like I was back at our old cottage house, with my father, the man with the angry eyebrows and burrowing eyes.Back to the days and nights I had to act exactly the way my father wanted, having his dinner ready on time with breakfast set to boil beside it, keeping his beer cold until it was mouth ready

Alpha Toph“Tell your goons to release me,” I gritted at the dark descendant through clenched teeth, breathing in the rustic brine of his scent that seemed to coil the hairs in my nose.We were still at the clearing beyond the forests, the ratty lowlands after the three city castles where Gobar and his goons were holding me, hostage. Man, I would have sworn pigs could fly if I ever had to believe I would have descended so low that some dim-witted humpback goons would drag me across forest plains and I wouldn't be able to do jack-shit about it, to rip them to shreds the way I would have back when I had my alpha powers.I watched the dark descendant wave the beasts away just as the pressure around my shoulders and arms reduced.“Gah,” I groaned, twisting life back into the biceps that had grown fat and numb before rising to my feet slowly to face the dark wolf.“My my, Tophas, rejected prince of the burning city, aren't you a sight for sore eyes.” Gobar drawled, the black sheepskin kil

OLIVIA BURNS“Closer, a little more to the side,” I hissed through my teeth at the muscular maid as she worked the nail buffer hastily at my freshly manicured feet.I had decided to ditch the pink and go for a blood-red instead, it was more feral...more, me.“Ugh, can't get anyone to fucking do shit right in this castle!” I complained loudly, noting the way the woman’s hands stilled on my feet before she continued.It wasn't like I was some overbearing hag of a woman, I was only following my mother's advice. The greatest showwoman to have ever lived in all three cities.“One had to be strict with the help, a little show of weakness, and these gremlins were going to run you over and take your place faster than you could spell A-B-R-C-A-D-A-B-R-A,” Her voice echoed in my head as I watched Judith’s pursed lips, resisting the urge to kick her in the mouth like the donkey she was.Saints, all this talk of pregnancy was making me more irritable than I usually was, not like I would ever all

Nikolai“Ugh,” I groaned, feeling red-hot pain spread through the sides of my head as I moved to sit, feeling winded as something pressed heavily against my chest.Heck, I must have slept off after my tryst with Raya, I glanced down to see that I still had my hands wrapped securely around her midriff, her small pink nipples puckering in the cold air of the room.“Shit,” I breathed, feeling my breath catch in my throat at the sight of the maiden. She was so damned beautiful, with dark hair that wound around her slender olive-toned body, her dark eyelashes that caressed her high cheekbones fluttered slightly as I moved my arm from underneath her.“Easy,” I breathed, watching her bow-shaped pink lips pucker delicately and resisting the urge to press my lips to her mouth, feeling the hollow at the pit of my stomach open up.How long had we been asleep? “Heck,” I whispered as I tugged on the dark capri pants I had discarded in a rush during our tryst, drawing the thick duvet of the comfo

OLIVIA BURNS“Have you lost your mind Igor? What the fuck are you doing here?” I gasped loudly, slapping my hands over my exposed breasts and drawing the pink silk kimono tighter about myself.The blonde man was just standing there gazing at me with an intense look in his eyes, his white button-down shirt lapping against the wide leg of his white pants.“I've been sending the scribe to you with messages Livie, did you not see him?” He intoned oddly, and I could sense the rage simmering underneath the surface of his calm exterior as I pulled him closer to myself, glancing behind him at the shadowed hallway behind before closing the door with a deep sigh.Hell! That had been close!“What the hell were you thinking Igor? Are you trying to implicate me with the maiden?” I hissed through my teeth, glaring at him and feeling even more irritated when he didn't show even a sliver of fear.“I could have Nikolai hang you for encroaching on his future Queen’s quarters while she was having her ev

Judith The MaidI couldn't help it, the thing inside me just kept itching as I walked down the corridor, feeling my insides sting with shame and embarrassment until I turned around, heading back to the room, determined to give the nasty woman a piece of my mind.Who the hell did Miss Olivia think she was to talk to me like that? “Bitch,” I muttered, palming the sore spot on my cheeks and almost to the room when the sound of hushed voices bleeding through the doors made goosebumps spread on my skin.I felt my breathing come faster as I inched forward, feeling my breasts mash into the hard door before my ears were suctioned to it.I couldn't believe my ears, as I only then realized that it was Sir Whitecastle I passed by on my way out.The man who had called Miss Olivia ‘Livie’. For some reason, I couldn't bring myself to get the endearment out of my head.Since when did the two royals become so close?I remembered something my old ma, bless her soul, told me a good long while ago.

RAYA BANKSI had been dreaming of my mother again, and for the second time that night, I woke up in a puddle of my own sweat.I had seen an impression of my mother’s face, with mottled hands that reached out for me from the murky depths of the sea I was standing over, the thin circle of her mouth opened in a silent scream.“Mother!” I gasped, jerking forward and up from the bed, glancing about me wildly, even when I knew she was already dead. Alpha Toph had said the dark descendant Gobar killed her. I swallowed the angry tears that welled in my eyes, feeling as feeble as a limp cock.“Lady of the moon!” I panted, cuddling my ice-cold fingers to my chest and sitting up before I realized it was more than the nightmare that had woken me.There was that noise again, that crashing sound that seemed to be coming from inside the cells along the shadowed hallway.“What the hell is that?” I groaned, gasping and moving to stand closer to the cell bars, catching a glimpse of the tin-armored gua

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.
