Jessica Thornton is an orphan slave to the Graceland Pack. Confined to the barns to sleep with the animals, she loses all hope that someone will come and rescue her, but fate has a plan for her because the alpha's son, Cory identifies her as his mate. On the night of the Luna's Ball, Jessica sees Cory making love to another she-wolf. Feeling hurt and deceived, she runs back to the ball and gets drunk. In her intoxicated state, she admits to the entire pack that Cory is her mate and that she’s carrying his pup. Cory's frustration leads him to show his true colours and he rejects Jessica, who is later forcefully thrown out and exiled from the pack. Alone and weak, Jessica gives up on life, begging the Moon Goddess for a quick death. ******* Kanyon Coldblood is the king of all Lycan kings. Following the tragic death of his wife, he developed a stone-cold heart. He spends the next thirteen years hunting down everyone who was involved in her execution, only to find out the one who orchestrated everything is a Luna called Magda Graceland. Kanyon gathers his warriors and sets off towards the Graceland pack to declare war. Along the way he stops when he notices a foul odor resembling that of a decaying body. He goes to investigate and realizes that it's a young girl. Even with her foul stench, his beast finds it impossible to resist the enchanting fragrance that only they notice. Concerned for the girl's safety, he calls off his journey and escorts her back to his kingdom to help restore her health. Kanyon quickly falls for this beauty who turns out to be the niece of his late wife and the heir to the Blackwood throne.
View MoreKing Kanyon sat down at the head of the table while he conducted this meeting. “Cameron, is the Graceland kid still lurking around the town?” Kanyon inquired. “You mean Cory? Yes, he’s still being a creep. My informants told me he has been spending most of his time in the crafts shops,” Cam chuckled. “Why the hell was he still here?” Kanyon gritted his teeth. “I don’t know, but as long as he doesn’t come near the castle, and near Twinkle, I’m good,” Cam added. “Is there anything you’d like to add, DJ? Do you need any help with anything?” Kanyon asked DJ. “No. I cannot think of anything right now, but if I do, I’ll let you know,” he stated and the king could taste the sorrow on DJ as the young Alpha spoke, but he kept his composure. DJ's voice didn't crack once. “So Annabella is really gone?" he asked, leaning back in his seat with his palms resting flat on the table. "I'm sorry, man. I know how much she meant to you," Cameron rested a palm on DJ's shoulder. "Thank you, Master
“You will not have either of us!” Jessica exclaimed in a fit of rage as she confronted the being possessing her cousin. "Let me help you rephrase that,” it smirked. “I cannot have you — yet," Constance put emphasis on the word ‘yet’ which made Jessica angrier. Constance felt Ariel's soul fighting for its body back. "It looks like my time here is running out. Even though I know you've been warned already Queen Jessica, but I think I will warn you again. Mistress Paloma says Alpha Daniel's soul already belongs to her, so if you do this spell and bring him back to life, then there will be grave consequences.""What kind of consequences?" June asked. "The bad kind," Constance let out. She felt Ariel pushing her out now. "I will go now, but one of you has to break the seal." June walked up to her and used her foot to break the circle. Ariel began to throw up what looked and smelt like tar. Jessica sprinted to her side and held her hair away from her face. The tar transformed into black
The lamb baaed and bleated as the entity possessed it. The poor sheep's eyes rolled over in its head as the scent of death and despair stained the air all around. Little by little, its face twisted into something ghastly, an abomination between a human and a demon. "Who are you, and why have you come here?" June asked as she stepped up to the animal who was bucking and chewing at the bars of the cage. The iron bars sizzled and burned the creature's tongue. It hissed and scurried back into the centre. "Saltttt!" the demon spat. The tone of the voice told June it was a woman. The three mages swallowed hard. They had never witnessed anything like this before. Luna Ariel was in a corner with her heart beating like a war drum, rethinking this whole resurrection thing. Queen Jessica, however, could have sworn that the creature's voice sounded familiar. "State your name now and tell us why you have come here?" June barked once more."I came for," the lamb paused as it cackled then slow
As midnight drew near, the palace took on a dark and eerie atmosphere. Jessica and Ariel quietly made their way to the south side of the building where Lucy's chambers were located. With Lily's support, Jessica discovered how to turn off her mindlink so that Kanyon wouldn't pick up on anything she preferred to keep a secret from him. This decision wasn’t easy for her. She felt awful keeping this from her husband. Jessica squeezed her cousin's hand harder as they made their way down the path. "Don't be nervous," Jessica whispered. "I truly believe everything will be alright.""I wish I could be all mellow like you, but I can't. My mind's racing with all the ways this could play out, and I have no clue what to expect,” Ariel sighed. "I understand, but try and be positive,” Jessica kissed her palm. “Now chin up because we're here," Jessica stated as they settled on Lucy’s welcome mat. The queen tapped on the door, and Laura opened it for them. “Get it,” Laura ushered them inside qu
"Resurrection spell? Isn't that considered dark magic?" Ariel swallowed hard. It seemed like everything in the room was spinning. When she was younger, she was always taught that if you fooled around with dark magic, it could cause you to lose your soul. "The darkest of dark, Luna. But our queen here doesn't seem to understand how dangerous this is,” Lucy huffed. “So Ariel, I will need you to step up and be the wise one. Alpha Daniel was your husband, and even though we all miss him and believe he didn't deserve that fate, the choice lies with you. If you tell Jessica that you don't want this, then she cannot continue with this madness. Take your husband's body home and give him the proper burial he deserves. Don’t let her taint his vessel like this.” Lucy eyed Jessica sternly. "Lucy! Watch your tone," Jessica hissed. “You act like I’m going to use a knife and carve into Daniel’s body.”“You might as well do that,” Lucy rolled her eyes. "Ariel, don't listen to her,” Jessica sighed.
"Lucy, are you still mad at me?" Lily asked her sister as they stepped into the portal door. Lily tried grabbing her sister's hand, but Lucy flashed her off. Laura had already gathered the sages and candles needed for the spell and was sitting on the floor by Lucy's bed, waiting for her two sisters to return. Zap!!! The door appeared and Laura tasted the bitterness between her two sisters as they stepped out of the portal. "Did you guys get all that we will need?" Laura asked. "Yes, and we had to kill two trolls to get the toes we required," Lucy gagged as she scraped the goo off her hand and flashed it on the ground. "So how did you do? Did you get everything else?""Everything except the witch's blood.""Where are we going to get witch's blood from?" Lily sought. There weren’t any witches in the kingdom. Laura looked at Lucy."No! I cannot ask June to be a part of this," Lucy shook her head. "It's just a little blood," Laura added. "It's not like you're gonna ask her to help pe
“Forgive me for what I am about to say,”Lily blew out a breath as she stared at the woman in front of her who was asking her to perform a forbidden spell. “Are you out of your freaking mind, Your Majesty?” she yelped. She was shocked by what the queen was proposing. “That's some serious dark magic, Queen Jessica.”“I know, but maybe if you teach me how to do it like how you've been helping me with spirit summoning, then maybe you won't have to get involved,” Jessica pleaded her case. “You are smart enough to know only a mage or a witch can cast such a spell, so there's no way I'm letting you do that. And what if you died? The king would have my head and then maybe my sisters’ heads as well,” Lily scoffed. “You're not letting me do this?” Jessica snickered at the mage as she repeated her words. "If I command you to do it, then you will do as I say. Am I not your queen?"“Of course, but —,”"Then it's settled. You will gather the ingredients for this spell and I will stall Kanyon and
The mysterious foe spoke softly. "Give me the child, and I'll let you live.""No! You can't have my grandson," Daniel answered. "Very well then. I guess you won't live to see another day." King Kanyon and Ariel understood the impending danger, but as they hurried towards Daniel, a purple mist enveloped them, obscuring their vision and dulling their senses. Before the elders managed to secure her wrists, Priestess Constance opened her eyes. Her cackles now sounded like nails on a chalkboard. Her eerie, haunting voice sang out like a dying canary. The elders had to place their palms over their ears to stop their heads from exploding. Hearing her husband's sorrowful wails, Ariel screamed out in fury. The wicked man thrust his arm into Alpha Daniel's chest, tearing out his heart. The alpha dropped to his knees and, even with the huge hole in his chest, his fingers held firmly onto the baby in his arms. As her husband took his final breath, Ariel sensed a burning ache in her heart f
The sky got dark as grey clouds came out of nowhere, blocking the view of the sun. Just a small stream of golden sentinel illuminated the clearing, where the air crackled with tension. Kanyon experienced a surge of adrenaline as his heart pounded in his chest like a war drum. His eyes shot to his people, who were running and scrambling to get to safety. The King was still knelt by Anna's side as his eyes watched the two creatures circling the priestess, their muscles coiling beneath matted fur.Kanyon almost couldn't keep up with her fast moves. And her movements were lethal alright. She was ripping through his guards like they were paper. In a split second, she tore the two beasts' heads off. With blood dripping from her fingertips, she turned to face the king. "Let me go King Kanyon or I will kill my way out of here," she cackled. "You know only you and maybe a few members of the council have the strength to stop me. So if you will not fight me, then call off your men, or you ar
Jessica huddled on the floor, which had been her bed since she was thirteen, trembling from the cold. The heavy winds outside kept blowing the cardboard cut out from the oval window, letting all the frostiness inside and the only things poor Jessica had to cover with were some empty potato sacks which weren't doing a great job of keeping the winter breeze off. Sleeping on the hard, cold concrete floor only worsened her health, especially with all the dust and chemicals around. She had developed a severe case of pneumonia. If she were a regular girl, she would have died months ago. The strong scent of charcoal and kerosene filled the air, irritating her lungs and making her cough repeatedly as she twisted beneath her makeshift sheets. Having just recovered from yet another coughing episode, her body calmed down but was soon jolted awake when someone kicked her in the stomach. Her amber eyes snapped open to reve...
