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 like me, but you never did,” Magda sobbed. “I tried everything, but still all you wanted was Lisa. I could smell it on you every time you were near her. Just like how I can always smell how much you want her daughter, Jessica," Luna Magda hissed, turning her attention back to Jessica. It was at that moment the Luna smelled something she didn't notice before. “Why does she smell like our son?” “Because he fucked her. I guess he has the same tastes as his father,” Conroy laughed. “You think this is funny?” The Luna snarled. “I think we should banish her and let her fend for herself as a rogue.” The Luna knew an omega wouldn't last one night alone as a rogue, especially one that was as beautiful as Jessica. The male rogues would have their way with her until her body went limp, and the female rogues would kill her on the spot just so their men didn't get sidetracked by her looks. “No, Magda. I can't do that,” Conroy snapped. “Why?” Magda was irritated. She wanted to know what reason her husband had for keeping this mange around. “Because, I'll be taking her as a second wife,” he told her without a hint of sympathy in his voice. Those words seemed to have punched Magda in the face. She shook her head from side to side with tears pouring down her face. She focused on Jessica. “I hate you and that slut you called mother. Even after I had your parents murdered, they're still haunting my life because they left behind you. I should have had you executed, too.” She felt guilty after she murdered the poor girl's parents, so that's why she took the child under her wings, but the moment Jessica hit puberty, the Luna felt regret. “You killed my parents?” Jessica asked, with snot and tears gushing down her face. She wanted to slug the Luna. “Yes, I did,” the Luna said proudly. “And don't think you can go and run your mouth to the pack. No one will believe you. You're an omega who fucked my son and is also going to marry my husband. People will say that it's just crazy ramblings of the other woman,” the Luna stated. She sneered at the alpha before she left the office. Conroy offered his hand to help Jessica stand up. “Don't touch me,” she let out. “You knew your Luna killed my parents, and you did nothing. What kind of alpha are you?” “One who realized he was an outsider and needed to gain his new pack's trust and respect,” he hissed. “Killing their beloved Luna, the daughter of their previous alpha, wouldn't have been a smart move.” “Was my mother really your mate?” Jessica just couldn’t believe it. “Yes, she was. It wasn't until I rejected her and I learnt she found a second chance mate that I regretted how I treated her. I should have kept her as a second wife. Perhaps she would still be alive,” he said. “But don't worry Jessica, I will make sure Magda will not hurt you like she did your mother,” he promised. “Two months from now, we will celebrate our mating ceremony under the full moon.”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
The day of the ball arrived, but Jessica was feeling a bit under the weather. She was having fainting spells and an upset stomach. She kept vomitting out all the meals she had ingested. Yes, she wasn't a stranger to illnesses, but she thought since the beatings had stopped, and she had access to a little more food she would be getting stronger instead of feeling like complete crap, so she took a trip to the pack hospital to do a routine checkup. She entered the hospital, trying to ignore the pain in her body. This wasn't like her. She had been sick before but not like this. She couldn't pinpoint the cause of it. The white corridors and smell of ammonia were driving her insane. "Let's just get this over with," she said to herself. ******** Half an hour later, the doctor was giving her the news of her test results. "Well Miss T
Evening descended quickly, and the moonlight added a serene beauty to the dark night. The ball was about to begin as the guests arrived one by one and sometimes two by twos. Jessica still hadn't seen Cory, so she figured he must have been down by the lake with his friends. She wanted to see him and tell him the wonderful news. Though she was nervous, She really believed that he would make everything better for her. Holding the front of her dress tightly, she dashed through the forest and headed to Blue Water Lake. She didn't care that her wounds still ached, or that she was getting muck all over the hem of her dress. Cory would still find her beautiful regardless of her fresh scar, courtesy of his mother and the mud stains on her dress. She continued on her journey. She had only been down by the lake once, and it was a gorgeous sight. It's usually where teens from the pack sneak away to have sex. A blush crept up on Jessica's face when she imagined Cory taking her by th
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
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
The night was heating up, and King Kanyon kept tugging at his shirt collar with his finger. He was on edge, and so was Sinbad. 'What if she changes her mind?' Sinbad asked, pacing around in Kanyon's head. 'She's coming. I know she is.'King Kanyon's eyes scanned the field around him, and he hoped Jessica found the venue pleasing. He wasn't too happy with himself. He thought she deserved a fairytale wedding, not a mock ceremony that was being held in the meadows deep into the woods. He stood there in his favourite tux, with his best man by his side. "Where is she? What is taking her so long?" Kanyon was getting anxious. "Don't worry. Alpha Daniel and Luna Ariel will get her here in time. Just relax," Cameron used a handkerchief to wipe the king's brows. Lucy was standing at the makeshift altar where an arch was beautifully decorated with white and blue moonflowers. "Keep still," she whispered to the king. "You're even making me nervous.""I'm sorry. I just can't wait to make Jessic
"Calm down, little wolf. Just breathe," King Tomas was standing over poor Jessica, who was hyperventilating. "I would show you how to, but I'm a vampire, and we don't use oxygen." Seeing the young girl this distressed fascinated him. It was like watching a monkey juggle. "Give her some space, you undead bastard. Your decaying flesh might be contaminating the air around her," King Osbourne roared. He used his shoulder to nudge Tomas aside. "Maybe it's that god-awful cologne you're wearing. Smells like the inside of a bawdy house," Tomas hissed. "And don't you ever shove me like that again, or I will bite you in the face.""At least my breath doesn't smell like a zombie's asshole," Ozzy retorted. "And keep those nasty yellow fangs away from me.""Enough. Both of you!" Alpha Daniel barked. "I don't want you two to rehash that terrible display of yours earlier. Please, let's just focus on the bride." Daniel handed Jessica a paper bag. "Here you go. Just breathe in it. We won't let anyth
Ariel and Jessica were laughing as Ariel adjusted the veil on Jessica's bun. "Hold still, girl. You don't want me to poke you with the pin." "I'm sorry, Ariel. I'm just too excited. I can't keep still,” Jessica squealed. “I’m so happy.”"I understand. I'm just so pleased I get to stand by your side. I just wish the entire kingdom could witness this blessing,” Ariel exhaled. She thought her cousin deserved to be getting married in the royal temple, but she understood why it had to go down this way. "I know, but remember, no one else, other than who already knows, should find out. I'm just happy Kanyon told you guys. I don't think I could do this without all of you,” Jessica smiled. "And it has been my honour serving you. You will be a great queen." They hugged. "Now let me go get Daniel before I start to cry." Ariel hurriedly left the room with happy tears running down her cheeks. The nervousness was slowly leaving Jessica’s body. Now she was grinning like a lovesick fool, feeling
The atmosphere around the two lovebirds fell eerily silent. If a pin were to drop, the sound would have echoed around the entire room. Jessica held her breath, waiting for Kanyon to say something or even do something. The big guy seemed to have forgotten how to breathe. 'Breathe, you idiot. I'm suffocating in here.' Sinbad was nipping at the surface, trying to get his human to inhale. Jess knitted her brows, finally realizing something was wrong. The king wasn't even blinking. "Kanyon?" She called his name. She shifted on his lap and used one hand to cup his face. "Kanyon, look at me," she pecked his lips, and no sooner did their mouths touch than the king gasped for air like a swimmer coming up from under the water after a long dive. "I hope I didn't freak you out. I understand if you're not ready to be with me in that way."Kanyon exhaled loudly. "Believe me, I want you more than anything else in this world. I was just surprised that you suggested it. You deserved to be proposed
JESSICA'S POVI was nervous. All eyes were on me as I sashayed down the steps. My palms glided over the smooth and polished surface of the rails. My lips quivered as I quietly muttered a prayer, begging the Moon Goddess to keep me from falling and making a fool of myself. The frosty, clear crystals and snowflakes dangled above my head like Christmas decorations. Lucy plus two male lycans dressed in black and white outfits were awaiting me by the edge of the stairs. They had trays of champagne with ice in their hands. "You look beautiful, Jessica," Lucy hastened to take my hand. I bowed in response. My eyes immediately flipped through the area, searching for one person in particular. Kanyon. "He's waiting for you in the Love Den," she said knowingly. She fixed a crystal tiara on my head that coordinated with my dress. "Courtesy of the King." It was a beautiful piece. "I feel like a princess," I giggled as my hands sailed up to help Lucy set the tiara on my head. "And you look like o
