As another month ticked away, Jessica remained in her coma. Kanyon was growing more restless by the day. All he wanted was for her to open her eyes. "Why isn't she waking up?" He asked doctor Anna. "I don't know, your majesty. I really don't know," she sighed. "At least she's breathing on her own now." "Do you think she's fit enough for me to take her back to my kingdom?" "If you take a plane rather than travel on foot, I don't see why not. You'll be there in a couple of days. I'll even fly with you to monitor the girl." "Thank you, Anna. I appreciate it," he nodded. "I'll arrange things with Alpha Daniel. I know he has a private jet that he'll let me use." ******* Five days later, the plane landed in the kingdom of Lycania. Scores of Lycans were lined up waiting for their king's arrival. Word of the comatose omega spread like wildfire. People wanted to catch a glimpse of the girl who kept their king away from them for weeks. As they moved Jessica toward the Lycan h
Kanyon stayed by Jessica's bedside, holding her hand while Doctor Peterson delivered the awful news to him. "Your majesty. We cannot find the baby's heartbeat on any of the monitors." The doctor gave the King a few moments to catch his breath. "Are you saying what I think you're saying?" "Yes King Kanyon. The young lady has suffered a miscarriage." The doctor bowed his head, not only in respect for his king, but also because the anger and sadness radiating from King Kanyon was choking him from the inside out. "How will we treat this? She's still in a coma." Kanyon's chest ached. He hated death. Death took everything important away from him. Now he worried for the mother. Would she be the one to die next? "We need to conduct a c-section to extract the fetus," the doctor explained. "I just hope the she-wolf's body is strong enough to survive the surgery." "This is all too much for one girl to endure," Kanyon snapped. "Is it possible for us to wait and see if she'll wake
Days passed, and the orange leaves began to fall leaving tree branches cold and naked. Winter was here, and it wanted everyone to know it. The biting chill outside was so much so that it was seeping through the walls and any cracks it could find. Jessica's eyes blinked open, yet the glaring light caused her to immediately close them once more. Her eyeballs felt dry, like she had swum with them open in a desert of sand. On top of all of this, her head and muscles hurt. To her, it seemed as if years had gone by without using her limbs. She smacked her lips together, trying to soothe her parched throat with her saliva. She was so thirsty, her lips felt like sandpaper. She willed her eyes open and took in the details of the room. Everything was unfamiliar. Where am I? She pondered internally. She noticed tubes protruding from her arms and strings connecting her chest to a machine. She ripped them off. Jessica's skin went ashen. She found herself in a panic. She raised her hand to
For days, King Kanyon had been running in beast form, killing every animal he saw in sight. He was so angry with the Moon Goddess for taking yet another thing that he had come to love away from him. He wanted the pup to survive so he could grow up and call him papa, and he wanted to train him so that maybe one day he could take over the throne. 'I think we should go back now,' Sinbad stated in a worrying tone. 'We've been at it for almost a week. I'm tired and you need a shower.' Kanyon said nothing as Sinbad slowed down. He let his beast take him back to the castle. He sneaked into his bedroom without raising any alarms and then enjoyed a lengthy, hot shower. While he was slipping a T-shirt over his head, Cameron's voice thundered in his brain. 'Kanyon, where are you?' 'No need to shout! I'm at the castle. What is it?' Kanyon answered, frustrated. He wanted to sleep off his journey and then deal with problems the next day. 'It's the girl, she's awake!' Kanyon's face wen
Jessica pressed her bare feet into the dirt at her son's grave. She felt numb all over. She was unable to cry, move, or even blink. This man explained to her that her son had already died before entering the world. She blamed herself. She was too weak. A low bred omega. She was nothing but scum on this earth. Had she been stronger or persevered a bit longer, her son would still be alive today. She needed to see him, to hold him in her arms. 'King Kanyon,' doctor Peterson's voice spoke through the link. 'I just got her test results back. I'm afraid I have bad news.' 'Tell me what it is.' 'The girl was so badly beaten that her womb was detached, and it's not healing properly. That's what led to her miscarriage. I'm afraid by the looks of things, the young girl can never bear any more children.' 'Thank you for telling me, doctor. I will break the news to her myself.' Kanyon felt a bitter taste in his mouth, realizing he had to deliver yet more terrible news to her. He con
"How is she?" Cameron asked Kanyon. It had been three days since Jessica woke from her coma. Three days since she learned of her son's death and three days since she learned that she was now a barren wolfless she-wolf. "I don't know. I'm still waiting for the servant to tell me how's she doing." Kanyon's relentless pacing made it seem like he was about to drill a hole into the floor. As the door swung open, the servant in charge of delivering food and supplies to Jessica walked into the sitting area. "King Kanyon," she fell to her knees in submission. "Master Cameron," she uttered before turning her attention back to the king. "How is she?" Kanyon barked as he strolled over to the servant. "She still has not eaten anything, your majesty," the woman let out. "She's not talking, moving. Her only reason for going to the bathroom is to use the toilet; she hasn't showered at all since being moved to the suite.” "Dammit," Kanyon grunted. "You're dismissed." The servant rose
"Motherrrrrrrr!" Margret growled. Her fingers wrapped securely through the omega's tangled locks. She dragged the poor thing over the floor and into the Luna's chambers. In a fit of anger and frustration, she tossed the girl at her mother's feet. Luna Magda frowned at the filthy girl and kicked her to roll her onto her back. "Daughter, why have you brought this filth before me?""She burnt me with the curling iron!" Margret roared. "I want her to be punished."The Luna exhaled deeply. "Did she do it on purpose?""Who the fuck cares? She burnt me, the alpha's daughter, she must pay for it."The scared little omega quivered while she listened to the Luna and Margret talk about what punishment she would receive."Alright daughter, can I see your burn?""It's already healed, but it still stings.""Alright, what do you suggest?""Hmm, let's see." Margret walked over to her mother's vanity and took up a pair or scissors. "I think she needs a haircut.""No. Please! I beg you. Don't do this,
Luna Magda's heart raced, feeling like it could burst at any moment. Even her wolf, Delilah, was in a state of disbelief. No son of theirs will ever do such a thing as reclaim an omega peasant. She calmed down a bit, maybe Cory was just reacting to the mate bond they once shared. Perhaps his wolf just missed Jessica and was reminiscing on their time together. Because Jessica was a wolfless omega, so this led the Luna to think that both the she-wolf and her unborn child were no longer alive. There was no way in hell she could survive in the woods alone for two weeks much less three months. "Cory, I forbid you from saying such foolishness. That omega slut is dead, Adam and Gary made sure of that," Magda snarled. She felt a fierce anger inside her, knowing there was a slight chance that the little bitch might still be alive. Cockroaches were hard things to kill. "Believe what you must do to help you sleep better at nights," Cory sighed, getting up from the chair and kissing his moth
King 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
