"Pregnant?" Kanyon repeated as his eyes blinked rapidly while he looked down at the she-wolf. "But it's been almost four months since we've been intimate," the king's voice came out squeaky. Cameron placed a hand on his shoulder. "She's pregnant for sure, your majesty. Just look at her," Cam instructed. Anna parted her white coat, displaying a prominently rounded belly. Kanyon staggered backward. It was a good thing his friend was behind him to ensure he didn't fall. "I'm two days away from being four months and I already look like I'm gonna pop," Anna let out. "I haven't told anyone about my pregnancy, not even the Alpha. I only told master Cameron because he saw me crying earlier." Kanyon swallowed hard. "Anna, I have to ask, are you sure it's even mine?" The she-wolf snarled as she angrily closed the white coat around herself, concealing her pregnancy once more. "How dare you ask me that? Of course, I'm sure. Have you even tried to sniff me? Go ahead, your majesty, be my g
"Are you sure you're OK?" Cam asked as he ensured Jessica was safely inside her room. He felt bad that she had to be there when Anna revealed her pregnancy to the king. The poor girl had been through enough already. Even though he knew Jessica didn't have a wolf, he could tell that she somehow felt something for Kanyon, but she couldn't tell that he was her mate as yet. "Yes I'm fine, thanks. I just want to be left alone so I can grab a shower and get some rest," Jessica nodded while she held on to the door and attempted to close it. "Wait, not so fast. You need to eat something," Cam told her as he used his foot to bar the door from closing. "I'm not hungry. I lost my appetite," Jessica simply stated, rolling her eyes. "Don't roll your eyes at me, missy," Cam reprimanded her. "You have to eat if you want to gain your strength to train. Just go on ahead and shower. I'll be back soon with some food." Jessica wanted to argue, but Cam was already on his way down the stairs b
"Are you out of your damn mind?" Kanyon roared. The ceiling shook from the intensity of his tone. Jessica flinched, but she didn't back down. "So you are that type of man then, the one that gets a girl pregnant and then leave her to do it all by herself?" Jessica got loud, and it caught the king by surprise. "Jessica, it's not like that. I intend to take excellent care of my child and Anna too, as well." Jessica paused before replying, "so you are planning on marrying Anna then?" The king tasted the bitterness coming from off Jessica. "No one is marrying Anna," the king hissed. "So you're saying she's good enough to sleep with and have your pup but not good enough to marry? Ok, then!" Jessica let out a frustrated chuckle. 'Sinbad, a little help here. I'm drowning,' he begged his beast. 'I'm sorry, Kan. You're on your own. This is a little out of my job description.' Sinbad took his little time as he found a comfortable spot in Kanyon's subconsciousness to take a quie
"So why did you call me down here before dinner is ready, Cameron?" The king asked as he followed Cam to the alpha's office. "The alpha requested to see us alone before we head to the grand hall for dinner." Kanyon was still soaring high after his amazing afternoon with Jessica. After she got dressed, they went for a walk down by the meadows. He enjoyed listening to Jessica recite the fairytales her father used to tell her. Every moment the king spent with her, he realized Ellie and Jess only had their looks in common. Everything was completely different. He marvelled as Jessica took her slippers off and sank her toes into the cool earth. Ellie would have never done that. She didn't like to get dirty unless she was in her beast form. "Oh, Jessica," Kanyon murmured, forgetting that he was walking alongside Cameron. "Holy shit, man," Cam sighed. "You better change your name to Usher because you got it bad," he laughed. "Can we go back to the time when we didn't talk f
Alpha Daniel strolled inside the grand hall with his mistress on his arm. After his mate died, he took Ariel as his companion, but he never claimed her out of respect for his late wife, his son's mother. As Ariel passed, a few of the older wolves snickered in displeasure, yet the short-haired she-wolf maintained her proud posture. She believed in the love the alpha had for her. Jessica couldn't take her eyes off the couple. She leaned over to Kanyon and whispered, "why are they looking at her like that? Don't they like their Luna?" Jessica wondered. Her thoughts returned to the Graceland pack, which was formerly known as the Venomous pack. Despite Luna Magda being the devil in wolf's clothing, her people adored her, particularly because her family has led the pack for centuries. When the Luna's mother gave birth to her and then to her sisters, her father worried that he might lose the pack to another family because he had not produced a male heir. But Magda's combative skills
As Adam drove along the narrow road to the Graceland pack, the air felt cold and crisp. He kept the heat gauge in the car low due to the rotting corpse lying in the trunk. His wolf was in grief as the bitter taste of death crawled up his snout, making his eyes water and leaving a nasty taste in his mouth. As soon as the tires screeched near the gate, he mindlinked the Luna. 'Luna, I'm back. I have ran into trouble.' He made sure he was out of sight from the guards, knowing they would sound the alarm if they found him with Gary’s lifeless body. Adam turned the car lights off as he waited for the Luna to reply. The pack members were gathered in the main hall for supper as Alpha Conroy informed them about the disappearance of several female she-wolves. He focused his gaze on the Luna while he spoke. He realized she might be connected to the disappearances, since all of them were females he’d been intimate with, but he couldn't prove it. The Luna’s body tensed when she got Adam’s m
Jessica found the completely empty hallways quite unsettling. She often saw the pack house alive with energy and filled with pack members engaged in their daily activities. Today, however, was an incredibly special day for the Warmblood pack, and everyone, even the omegas and school children, had been excused from their daily work. King Kanyon guided Jessica through the corridors. He couldn't resist admiring how in awed she was of everything around her. His beast was happy to see the excitement on her face. The staircase was decorated with red roses and white tulips, offering a lovely pathway for the bride. Jessica and Kanyon quickly took their seats in the front row. The ceremony was being held in the backyard out in the open under the moonlight and stars. With a deep breath, Jessica set her mind to experience the moment when two people became one. She found herself feeling emotional, this was exactly how she pictured the ceremony with her mate would be. But now that she expe
"So our fathers were brothers," Jessica sobbed as she held the family tree in her hand. She kept staring at her father's name. He was the firstborn son to omega parents. "I guess that makes us cousins," Ariel sniffled. Her dad was Jessica's father's younger brother. Jessica's amber eyes shot up to look at the Luna. "I never had a cousin before," Jessica giggled. "Me either," Ariel laughed. "I guess we should hug now." "Yeah, I guess we should," Jessica wrapped her arms tightly around Ariel, who was also sobbing like a child. They both thought they were alone in this world and had no family left. Now that they found each other felt like a blessing. "This is the best gift anyone could have given me on my wedding day, Jessica," Ariel sniffled. "Thank you." "Alright, enough of this. I don't want you to ruin what's left of your makeup," Jessica chuckled as she pulled away from the hug. Both ladies were sitting on the bed facing each other with their feet folded beneath th
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
