THIRTEEN YEARS AGO With sweaty palms, Kanyon Coldblood waited for Eleanor to make her way to him. All the lycans within a thousand-mile radius gathered to witness the king's wedding to Princess Eleanor. The king's heart went into overdrive when his ears picked up the sound of the door opening. ‘She's here,’ his inner beast spoke excitedly. From the high podium of the chapel, they watched her walk in. With a stunning and magnificent smile, she grasped her bouquet and strolled down the aisle adorned with rose petals. In just a few minutes, they exchanged their vows and sealed it with a kiss as they became husband and wife. It was rare for a lycan to meet their true mate. Only the mightiest and most favoured lycans found mates, which is why King Kanyon Coldblood couldn't hide his happiness upon meeting his mate in Princess Eleanor Blackwood. The couple dedicated years to planning their wedding due to the wars and economy, but they didn’t care, it was worth the wait. Now
Jessica had no idea how she made it to the ball, but she managed to get there in one piece. Without even thinking about the child in her tummy, she grabbed a cup and loaded it with rum punch. She gulped it down, then she repeated the process around a dozen times. Finally she was drunk enough to have the courage to stir up a little drama. She crushed the plastic cup with her palm and then threw it to the ground. Nobody seemed to notice her even when she was wearing such muddied clothes. They were all grouped according to their ranks. The alphas and betas gathered in one corner, while the zetas and gammas positioned themselves in the center. The omegas were just there by the sideline looking like fish out of water. Jessica spotted the twins clinging to a very tall alpha's arms. He carried them toward the door that led to the backyard. Jessica knew what they were sneaking off to do. And they called her a slut for giving her virginity to her mate. Hypocrites, Jessica shook her head i
“But I'm your mate!” Jessica yelled. Luna Magda stumbled back and fell into her chair. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her son — mates to this dirty omega trash! No, this must be a prank. “Cory! Is this crazy bitch your mate?” Chrissy demanded. “Not for long,” Cory answered. “What do you mean, Cory?” Jessica urged with teary eyes. "I love you, and even after I saw you having sex with her down by the lake,” Jessica sobbed. “I’m still willing to forgive you. We can work this out. Please — don't leave me and your child. We need you.” Jessica pleaded with desperate breath. She didn’t think she could survive without him. “Is what I'm hearing true?” A powerful voice came from the sideline. “Did you bed my daughter?” Chrissy's father asked, and Cory lowered his head to the ground. “Then I don't care if this weak omega is your mate. You will do right by my daughter.” “Yes, sir. That's what I plan on doing,” Cory flexed his muscled. “Stand her up,” he ordered and two
"I'M GONNA KILL THAT BITCH, THEN USE HER SKULL AS A PISS POT!" King Kanyon roared. Three days had gone by since he found out who was responsible for his wife Eleanor's death. After thirteen years of travelling to pack after pack, hunting down and slaughtering everybody involved in the brutal attack on his wedding day, he lost hope. None of them wanted to give up the person who planned all of this. If he wasn't shopping for poison in the black market, he would have never caught the scent of that scammer, Retford. Although he did not participate in the attack on his wife and in-laws, he sold the poisoned bullets that were used to murder them. "MAGDA GRACELAND! This name is number one on my kill list. I’m going to fuck this bitch up.” "King Kanyon," Cameron bowed. "Please Calm down. We will get this crazy Luna who killed our queen. Don't worry." "You're right," Kanyon sighed. "I want you to find out everything you know about the pack she is from." "Alright, your majesty. Give
Jessica drifted in and out of consciousness. She didn't know how long she had been in the car. They tied her hands behind her back, her feet were bound together, and her eyes were blindfolded so she couldn’t see the route they took to get her to the forest far, far away. The cool breeze flowing in through the gap in the window caused her to feel cold. While lying on the back seat of the car, she felt a tremor run through her as she listened to the guards tease her. "Adam, you think we should have a go at her?" One asked the other. “She’s very beautiful.” "No, she smells like death. Let's just do what the Luna says and kill her,” Adam shrugged. Kill me? Jessica panicked. She choked back her fear, hoping silently that the Moon Goddess would show her mercy. The vehicle suddenly stopped moving. Jessica's complexion turned even paler, as if someone had applied a layer of whitewash to her skin — her lips appeared nearly invisible. She listened keenly to their heavy footstep
Jessica knew she was close to death. She could taste it. She felt faint, even though she was left beaten and bloodied on the forest floor, some part of her still hoped that Cory would come and save her. He was her mate — well her ex-mate. Didn't he care about their bond at all? Her stomach gave out when she remembered her poor, unborn child. What did her innocent pup do to deserve such harsh treatment? It felt like her innards were being replaced by some kind of black hole. Then nausea crept from her abdomen to her head and even though she knew when she closed her eyes that would be it for her and her baby. A smile tried to form on her lips as she thought about seeing her parents again in the afterlife. She tried her best to stay awake, but Luna Magda was right. She was just a weak omega who wouldn't last long out in the real world alone. A lone tear slipped from the side of her left eye as the world went black. Jessica fell into a deep sleep. ********** Jessica's body was
King Kanyon stooped down next to the young girl, dressed in a bright midnight blue gown. Even though it was covered in mud and blood, his eyes admired the intricate designs. The stitching and embroidery down at the hem could only be found in the Blackwood kingdom, the place where his late wife, Princess Eleanor was from. He shelved his curiosity about the dress and inspected the girl for any injuries. The King had seen a lot of horror stories in his life, but this took the cake. He couldn't cipher how one tiny girl could have so many old and new wounds. When the King lifted her gown to inspect her thighs, Cameron had to turn his head away. There were burn marks and scars everywhere. “Who did this to her?” He grunted. “That person must be pure evil,” Cameron stated. He knew by the way the King was clenching his jaw that he wanted to meet this person and give them a taste of their own medicine. The King sighed and stated, “It doesn't appear that she was raped. But we're go
"Pregnant!" King Kanyon raved. “You're suggesting that someone hurt this girl and left her for dead while she is carrying a child? You wait until I find out who did this. They are dead. I don't care if they beg for mercy. I'm going to rip their spines out through their throats." The King's rage was scaring the doctor and nurses. He quickly calmed down when he smelt their fears. "Forgive my outburst," he apologized. "Is there anything else I should know?" "No, your majesty," doctor Anna answered. "For now, we will just monitor her and make sure she remains stabilized. We've given her pain and inflammation medications that are safe for pregnant women. Now we're going to bandage her broken bones." "OK. I'm going to step out for a while. But I will come right back. If anything changes before that. Come get me immediately." "Yes, your majesty," doctor Anna bowed. "Very well then," he sighed as he stepped out of the room and headed for the waiting area. He caught sight of the alpha
For the next couple of days, Jessica would train hard in the mornings, and then at nights Kanyon would reward her by making love to her for hours. "Woman, I don't know how you do it!" Kanyon blew out an exasperated breath as he rolled off Jessica. His wife wanted it every hour on the hour. He almost couldn't keep up with her. "I'm telling you, I feel great. I've never felt more powerful in my life," Jessica admitted. "Are you sure you're feeling OK?" He doubled checked. "The mark isn't bothering you or anything?" "No it's not. In fact, I barely remember it's there." She ran her hand over her mark. "So the numbness is all gone?" Kanyon asked. Jessica took a seat on him, straddling his hips. "What's with the twenty questions? I told you I'm fine.""You say this now. But when the full moon comes —""KANYON! I SAID I'M FINE!" Jessica's voice boomed. Her fingers instinctively clutched his neck. He didn't move an inch, yet he felt her claws stabbing at his skin. As the days passed, Je
While walking to the Blue Room, Cameron held Reniece's hand and earnestly requested, "Reniece, I need you to promise me that you'll be on your best behaviour.""What? Are you afraid I will embarrass you with my experiences?" She rolled her eyes, yanking her hand from Cameron. "Actually, I want her to be herself today," Kanyon grinned. "I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they find out she's my sister and mated to you." The king patted his best friend's back. "Ah! I see," Cam chuckled. "I think this will be fun. Maybe this will get April off my ass.""Who the fuck is April?" Ren urged. "Is she one of your skanks, Cameron? I swear to the Moon Goddess, I will gut you if you don't start telling people you're taken.""Taken?" Cam repeated. "Does this mean you will stay here?" Cameron challenged her. "Please tell me that you will finally let me mark you?""Fuck no! What type of princess do you think I am?" Reniece glared at him. "But if you marry me first, maybe I'll let you
Sinbad was worried about his mate. In his hundred of years of living, he had never seen or heard of anything like this.'We must do something. We can't lose another mate. We just can't,' he whimpered. 'Don't worry. We won't. I will not let this happen. We'll find a solution to whatever problem this is,' Kanyon replied to his beast. Kanyon spent the rest of the night tossing and turning in the bed, unable to sleep. So he stayed awake all night so he could keep an eye on Jessica. She was slipping in and out of consciousness, mumbling gibberish. It was like she was having a fever dream. Kanyon knew her body must be exhausted after her mid-transformation. The left side of her body shifted halfway into a wolf while her right part had transformed halfway into a Lycan. With the two creatures fighting for dominance, the pain was too much for Jessica, so she passed out. Then her body turned back to its human form. Kanyon and Lucy rushed her back to the king's chambers to attend to her. The
Victor Eclipse, son of Beta Vernon Eclipse, was pleased seeing how great his pack was doing all of a sudden. He especially couldn't wait to attend this ball that was being held in the next couple of months in the kingdom of Lycania. He sat at the breakfast table with his family, something they hadn't done in years since they mostly had their meals in the grand hall with the pack. Due to the ongoing renovations of all buildings from the pack house to the library and hospital, many families now find themselves having meals at home. He watched as his eldest sister picked at her plate."Sara, why do you look so sad?" he asked her. "I'm not sad, little brother. I'm just thinking about finding my true mate," she sighed. Her parents looked up at her with sorrowful eyes. "Honey, but with your condition, do you think your mate will want a woman who cannot give him children?" Her mother, Sally, stated. "When I was younger, I thought he wouldn't, but now I'm thinking a lot more mature. What
It had been a few weeks since King Kanyon had left the Graceland pack. The king's guards and doctor have been doing a marvellous job at turning the pack around for the better. The omegas were finally getting the respect and care they deserved, but Luna Magda couldn't give a shit about the other people in the pack. She had been drilling her daughters like they were at boot camp, but she wasn't pleased that her daughters were still not losing the weight she wanted them to in order to look thin and fit for their potential engagement to the lycan king. "Margret you haven't lost a single pound! What have you been eating?" Magda roared. "The ball is under three months, and we leave in a month since we are going by carriages.""Mother, it's not me but my wolf. No matter how much I starve myself during the days, she eats three times the amount she normally does when I take her for runs," Marget whined. "I don't wanna hear any excuses, you disgusting pig!" she shoved her daughter, then turn
Kanyon licked at her neck, numbing it as best as he could before sinking his teeth into her skin. Jessica screamed and wailed, with tears pouring down her face and snot running from her nose. She pleaded with him to stop, eager to get off him. But Kanyon's powerful arms held her down on his shaft, his teeth tearing at her flesh, marking her. Then he felt it, her body relaxing as her arousal got even more intense. He took his fangs out of her neck and used his tongue to cover the cut with saliva to stop the bleeding. He quickly manoeuvred himself so she was lying on her back, and he was on top of her. She was moaning using her hands clawing at his back, wanting him to pump inside her. Kanyon grunted as he pulled out and slammed inside of her. "You belong to me!" he said with a deep voice, withdrawing and then thrusting back inside her. "Mine!" He roared, feeling Jessica's muscles fighting against his thrust. He felt the warm liquid drowning his cock as Jessica came on him. With one la
Kanyon swiftly directed his attention towards Jessica, meeting her gaze. "Kanyon, did you hear what I said?"Jessica asked. "I said I want to taste you." Her hand lowered down to his shaft, and she took it in her grip and gave it a squeeze. "I heard you the first time," he murmured, closing his eyes and appreciating the sensation of her hand stroking him. "Is that what you truly want? There's no need for us to do it tonight."Jessica used the middle of her hand to smear over the cusp of his dick, catching some of his pre-cum. After that, she lifted her palm to her face and licked his essence from it. "I am sure," she remarked with a cheeky grin, prompting Kanyon to grunt and widen his eyes. His eyes glowed when he watched her swallow his juice. "OK," came his smooth reply. He then positioned on his knees at the both sides of Jessica's head. Lying on her back, she raised her hands and caressed his thighs. Kanyon's height was making things a little difficult, so she perched herself up
While balancing Jessica in his arms, Kanyon had his mouth pressed against her lips as he struggled to open the door."Do you need some help?" Jessica asked while she watched him battle with the keys. "Is someone having trouble finding the hole?" She pouted. A quiet growl rumbled off his chest. "You're going to regret ever saying that once I get you inside this suite," Kanyon promised, finally getting the key in the door. He opened it, and stepped through. “Welcome to your new home,” he kissed her once more then locked the door behind him. He carried her to his bedroom and laid her on the bed. Jessica could see the moon through the window and another wave of heat crashed through her cells, sending pressure to her groin. She bit back a scream and gripped the sheets. Her head thrashed from side to side while her legs widened of their own accord. Kanyon's mouth watered when he saw the layers of her dress parting, revealing the silkiness of her thighs. Jessica couldn't wait, so she reac
Jessica cried as she listened to Kanyon proclaiming his undying love for her, and his smile grew wide when Jessica told him she had never loved another the way she did him. Once they had exchanged their rings, Lucy proudly declared them married. “May the Moon Goddess shine her blessings on the marriage of King Kanyon Coldblood and Princess Jessica Thornton. Tonight they have become one, joined under the moon as man and wife,” she announced. “Now they must mix bloods and complete this ceremony by drinking from the Golden Gauntlet." Golden Gauntlet? Jessica was puzzled at first, but then she saw Cameron present a small box to Lucy. Once Lucy opened it, a dazzling golden cup emerged that looked like something out of a fairy tale as it glowed like magic. It had countless rubies and gems decorating the rim, plus there were intricate designs of a lycan and the moon on the sides. It was a gorgeous piece. "Thank you, Master Cameron," Lucy nodded. She lifted the cup high above her head and
