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
ONE YEAR LATER "Come on, Pookie-Bear, you know I love you," Cory used his fingers to unbutton Jessica's blouse. His wolf, Curtis, was on edge. He had wanted to do this since the moment he found out Jessica was his mate. "But Cory, I'm not ready," Jessica said as she held onto his wrists to prevent him from unbuttoning her shirt any further. Cory grunted in frustration. His eyes glowed black, showing Jessica that his wolf wasn't pleased. "I am your future alpha, and how dare you refuse me!" He spat through gritted teeth, squeezing her neck while pressing her firmly against the wall of the supply closet. She flinched, the wounds on her back were still raw from the beatings the Luna gave her a few days before. She had forgot to pick up the Luna's dry-cleaning which caused the she-wolf to go berserk. "I-I'm so-sorry," Jessica stuttered. Cory might have been her mate now, but before he treated her just as bad as his mother. She remembered the many times where he tripped her or pu
Jessica smiled broadly while imagining her life as the Luna of the Graceland Pack. There were so many things she would change so she could make the pack better for every wolf, not just the ones that were of high ranks. “Pookie-Bear, are you OK?" Cory asked, pulling her out of her trance. "Oh yes, I'm fine,” she smiled, a blush tinting her cheeks. With a growl, he took another whiff of her neck. "You smell amazing." This time, he ran his hands down her thighs and under her skirt. Jessica wanted to resist, but his touch felt so good. "I want you so much. If I don't have you now, my wolf will go mad,” he growled. “Please just let me slip it in. I won't go all the way in, just the tip," he begged, squeezing her pussy through her panties. Jessica moaned in pleasure, arching her back and clenching her muscles together. Since it was the first full moon after Cory's wolf recognized her as his mate, her body was going into heat. She felt a fire burning deep within her. It was like s
Jessica was on cloud nine, she had just lost her virginity to her mate, the man she intended to spend the rest of her life with. She remembered the night she found out that Cory was her mate, and even though she didn't have her wolf, she felt the sparks when he touched her and kissed her lips. He kissed her like he was dying of thirst and only her lips could quench his thirst. Jessica was scared at first, because Cory had always been a bully to her, just like the rest of his family. His younger twin sisters, Margret and Margarita were just as bad. They wouldn't only beat and belittle her. They would also break stuff around the pack-house and then blame it on poor Jessica and the Luna would always punish her by whipping her in the fields. Alpha Conroy, however was a different kind of bully. The type that turned a blind eye to the abuse she was enduring, but ever since she turned sixteen, she didn't appreciate the way he would stare at her whenever he was in a room alone with
"No!" Jessica gasped. Maybe she didn't hear him right. How could the alpha even consider making her his second wife? He must be mad. Luna Magda would probably kill them both before she would be able to even make it to the aisle. Plus, what about Cory? There's no way he would just stand back and let his father marry his mate. "Yes, little one," Alpha Conroy chuckled. "Don’t look so surprised. You heard me right. I want you to be my wife." "But you already have a wife and the pack already have a Luna," Jessica tried to reason her way out of this. "I know all of that, little one and certain things won't change," he explained. "Magda will continue to be Luna of the pack. You will simply be my wife. The one I bring to balls, functions, holidays and such. Magda's place is to stay here and solve various pack problems and make sure the schools and hospitals have supplies." "So I'll just be eye candy?" Jessica scoffed. "I wouldn't put it like that," he laughed. "But Magda is twenty
Magda's face went pale. “Wh-who told you?” She gulped, terrified that her husband was going to kill her now. She thought she had everyone involved taken care of. No one was supposed to know that it was her and not hunters who killed Jessica's parents. "No one had to tell me. I knew the moment I heard Steven and Lisa were murdered,” Conroy admitted. “It took everything in me not to skin you alive back then.” Hearing her parents' names made Jessica lift her head as she tuned into the discussion between the alpha and Luna. “I saw how you looked at her, Conroy. She was beautiful and young,” Magda scoffed. “When I found out she was your true mate, I despised her.” “But I rejected her to be with you,” Conroy explained. “She found a second chance mate in that farmer.” Jessica was there in shock. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. “Oh please, you only married me for my father’s pack. I knew this back then, but I thought after being with me, you would at least grow to lik
In a state of turmoil, Jessica fled from the alpha's office. She didn't care if she looked a mess, with blood staining her face. She needed to find Cory and tell him he had to admit to his parents that she was his mate and that he wished to be with her. Before she made it to the corridor that would take her to her mate's room, the two younger girls with red hair and brown eyes intercepted her. One caught her by her hand and the other grabbed her by the hair. "Look, sister. It's the slave girl," Margarita laughed. Her red hair was curly like that Disney princess, Merida. Her brown eyes were dark with specks of green in them. "I see that, sis. What is the little omega doing running around our house like this? She knows better than to be seen in this part of the building," Margret pulled harder on Jessica's hair, causing her to wince. "Oh, she's got a busted lip, and a bloodied nose," she noted as she bent back Jessica's head so she could look on her face. Margret's red hair w
Jessica lacked the strength to continue her search for Cory. He must have been out for a run because he wasn't in his chambers or training in the fields. The small omega girl went back to the barn and used a bucket to draw water from the well. It was difficult and painful since her left rib was bruised and broken. She stripped naked, and stood behind the shed where she previously placed the bucket of water, then she used the fragments of crushed soaps she gathered while cleaning the bathrooms in the pack-house to take a quick bath, making sure to wash herself thoroughly. She didn't need another werewolf to smell that she had lost her virginity, even though it was to her mate. It was still embarrassing. All she longed for was to be with Cory and have him hold her in his arms. Once she completed her bath, she entered the barn and searched through the box containing her few pieces of clothing. Most of them were old and tattered clothes that other omegas threw away. Jessica
Another month passed, and Jessica grew stronger and more resilient. It was the day of the full moon and she found herself sitting on the grass under the tree in the Godly Plains. She was already there for like four hours, talking to the Moon Goddess about all the stuff you'd usually discuss with your bestie. But Selene noticed that something else was bugging Jessica. "Tell me what worries you, my child."“I'm sorry if I seem grumpy and out of it. It's just that Annabella is driving me crazy. She is threatening to have me banished when she becomes queen, and also she’s demanding to do a photo shoot with Kanyon, plus she wants them both to be naked," Jessica snickered. "I wish I could just stuff her in a barrel and throw her in the ocean and be done with her." “You don’t to worry about her becoming queen, because you are.”“I know. But sometimes I wish I could throw my status in her face.”“I understand. So is Kanyon on board with this nude photo shoot?”"No! This is stressing him ou
It had been two days since Lily and Lucy did the transfer and bind spell on Jessica and Ariel. The Luna's body seemed to be adapting well and Jessica was enjoying running in the woods in her beast form. It was therapeutic to her as it helped to ease her mind off the memory of killing Adam. Once the mages felt sure the two women were alright, Lily chose to return to the Timber Wolf Pack, where she still had two more years left as the beta family's servant. After Chadwick, the beta's son, saved her from some rogues, she promised him five years of her magical services as gratitude. "Laura and I will see you at the ball in two months, sister," Lily stated as she hugged her eldest sister. "I can't wait to have both my sisters in one place for a change," Lucy beamed as she watched Lily walk through the portal door to the Timber Wolf Pack. "Don't worry. We'll see each other again before we know it," Ariel assured Jessica, who was complaining about her leaving so soon. The two cousins al
“It really reeks down here,” Jessica scrunched up her nose as Kanyon held her hand and led the way “Well, you didn’t have to come,” Kanyon grumbled, frustrated with his wife's stubbornness. After waking her up and saying they had to return to the castle because Adam was the intruder who shot Cameron, she firmly insisted on joining him. "I had to. I regret not looking into Gary's eyes before you took his head," Jessica hissed. "I won't make that mistake with Adam. They may have gotten their orders from Magda, but they still were the ones who beat me when I was pregnant and contributed to me losing my baby." Kanyon softened. "I know. But after the night we had, I thought you would do well with some much needed rest." Kanyon saw the blush on her face, knowing that she was reminiscing about their beasts making love and then their lovemaking session after they changed back to their human forms. "I know I should get some rest, but I won't be able to sleep if I don't look into Adam's eye
"Ariel!" Alpha Daniel dashed to his wife. With terror running through his veins he got down on his knees, and cradled her head in his arms. "She's not breathing!" He called out as he lowered his ear to her face. Kanyon ran to their aid after he made sure was alright. Lily was there with a bottle of water, feeding it to Jessica the moment she sat up. Lucy made a beeline for Ariel. "Let me see what's wrong." “Weren't you the one who said she'd be fine if the spell didn't work?” The alpha growled as he gnashed his teeth at Lucy. "But it did work," Kanyon pointed out as he stooped next to them. "Can't you detect her wolf?" The king asked the alpha. Daniel wiped his eyes before taking a whiff. "I can smell her.""And look," Lucy pointed out. "She's finally breathing again.""Thank Goddess!" Daniel sobbed. "Ariel. Sweetheart, can you hear me?” Daniel was about to move her. “Wait! Don’t move her just yet,” Lucy quickly warned him. “Let her come to it on her own.” ******Ariel stirred a
"Like a wolf pup?" Ariel asked, not really getting what her cousin meant. "Are there orphanages nearby?" Jessica's face lit up with a smile. "Ariel! You're not getting it," Jessica wheezed. "I want to give you my wolf. I have both a wolf and a Lycan beast inside of me." The Lycan queen saw the confusion flicker in her cousin's eyes. Ariel was trying to cypher what Jessica just said. "You have both a Lycan beast and a wolf?" Ariel's lips trembled as she spoke. "I've never heard of such a thing.""Is this true, King Kanyon?" Alpha Daniel demanded. "It is as true as the sun and the moon," Kanyon answered. "And you wish to give me your wolf?" Ariel sought. "You'd do that for me?""Of course I would." Jessica hugged her. "You're my cousin and I love you. Plus, I can't keep both creatures inside me. Their combined powers are killing me. So I only can keep one.""And what happens to the one you don't choose if you didn't have someone else to merge it with?" Ariel sought. "She'll die," J
“So you're a summoner?” Kanyon couldn’t help but grin. This wasn’t only rare, but only the most blessed werewolves and Lycans had the ability to summon the Moon Goddess. “I'm actually married to a summoner.This is amazing!” He held her by the cheeks and gave her a huge kiss. "Is this a good thing?" Jessica asked. She had never heard about summoners before the Moon Goddess mentioned it to her. “The Moon Goddess wants me to visit her monthly so we can chat.”“Being a summoner means you not only have the ability to summon the Moon Goddess but also supernatural spirits who have passed on to the heavens,” Kanyon explained. “And if the Moon Goddess wants your company, then this is one of the highest of honours.”“I guess you’re right,” she sighed. “Wait, are you telling me I can call upon my parents' spirits if I want to?” Jessica gasped after she analyzed what Kanyon just said. "With the right training you can learn how to summon spirits so you can bring your parents here and have conver
"Come on, child. Blink, breathe. Do something besides kneeling there looking like a statue," Selene said to Jessica. "Forgive me. I'm just stunned," Jessica wobbled to her feet. "Am I dreaming?"“Not at all, you're located in the Godly Plains. We call this area Lunar Peak. Here's where all my children with summoning powers come to speak to me.”"So I have this ability to summon you whenever I like?" “No doubt about it. You're the first summoner I've come across in ages. The last one died a thousand years ago," she declared. "In fact, she was the daughter of Alpha Benedict Thornton, your ancestor.""So I have ancestors on my father's side who were alphas?""Yes. Very powerful ones, too. Back in the day, Bethany, the daughter of Alpha Benedict, was a strong Luna who took charge of the rebellion against the Rogue King. She led her pack to victory, but sadly she lost her life in the war," Selene sighed as she remembered the many times Bethany would come and visit with her in the Godly P
Dr. Clarke stood at a shorter height than the typical Lycan male. His dark skin was rich and always seemed like it was glowing. His chocolate eyes had a faraway look to them as he used his stethoscope to listen in on Jessica's heart. He had never come across such a high fever before, and because he thought the omega girl couldn't shift, he felt in his gut that she might not survive. Seeing King Kanyon and Master Cameron standing there with their arms crossed and jaws tight made him super nervous about sharing his prediction. With steady hands, Dr. Clarke took three vials of Jessica’s blood. He wanted to run every type of blood work there was on her. He saw the pain behind the king's eyes, and he could tell he was worried about the young girl. He continued with his job, collecting saliva samples, swabs, the whole nine yards. The doctor was giving Jessica's body another examination when he came upon the mark on her neck. Immediately, he felt a lump in his throat, understanding the ma
"Jessica, baby. I'm right here," Kanyon held down Jessica’s hands so she didn't hurt herself while her body continued to seize. He waited for the shaking to stop then quickly scooped her into his arms and placed her on the couch. Cameron and Reniece were by his side, helping in any way they could. Ren removed Jessica's shoes from her feet while Cameron fetched a towel to wipe the sweat off her forehead."This is happening because of her Lycan and wolf, isn't it?" Cameron asked, and Kanyon nodded his head. “Oh man,” he said with a heavy sigh. "Twinkle is one stubborn little thing, but she's also a tough cookie. She'll get through this.”Cameron rubbed her forehead. "Holy Moon Goddess!" he exclaimed as he quickly pulled his fingers away from her skin. "What's the matter?" Kanyon sought. "She's burning up, and I'm not talking about your typical fever. Her skin literally scorched my fingers,” Cameron sucked on his fingertips to cool them down.Kanyon glided his hand over her face, reali
