King Kanyon spent a few minutes talking to Alpha Daniel. He wanted to know how Jessica was doing. The alpha told him she woke up for a few minutes, and that she asked for him. Kanyon informed him he'd be back in a couple of days. He was nearing the end of his call with Lucy when a knock interrupted him at the door. His lycan senses told him who it was. "You may enter," he called out. Cameron pushed the door open and stepped inside. He gently closed it behind him and walked up to his friend. Cam saw the worried look on the king's face as he sighed. "What's bothering you?" Cam asked him. "Everything," he sighed. "Being here among these people is only making my rage worse. It's taking everything in me to keep myself calm." "I know what you mean. I feel the same way," Cam confessed. "So how'd your talk with Lucy go?" "Everything is in motion. She assured me that she would email the documents so I can handle business in the morning.” "Good because I want to get going from thi
Cory's body was weak and in pain as the King withdrew his claws from the back of his neck. Kanyon had hit a nerve due to the boy's thrashing. No matter how hard Cory tried, he couldn't shake off the king's hold. Kanyon wiped his hand on his clothes and backed away from him. "Cameron, take him away now before I murder him," the king seethed. He saw everything that happened between him and Jessica. Even though she had told him everything, and it made him and his beast angry, seeing it with his own two eyes was making their wrath worse. They wanted to skin Cory alive. Kan was finding it difficult to cling to his humanity. "Now Cameron!" he barked. "Right away. Your majesty." Cory lost consciousness and was slick with sweat. Cam grabbed him by the arm, threw him over his shoulder then carted him off to his chambers. 'The Alpha and Luna will be pissed when they find out what we did to their son.' 'I don't care Sinbad. That slimeball had sex with Jessica, knowing he was goin
Chrissy was dashing through the forest in wolf form. She kicked up chunks of mud with each stride as her paws sank into the terrain. 'How could Cory do this to us?' her wolf, Tia, asked. 'We are the daughter of an alpha.''He's an asshole. That's why,' Chrissy groaned. 'I can't believe I ever loved him. All the empty promises and false hope he gave me. I was so naïve to believe him. I should have married Alpha Bruno. At least I'd be swimming in a sea of gold right now.'She followed her instincts and let her wolf take her down to the lake. The place that she and Cory would meet in the past and have sex. Her wolf began to slow down. The air was thick with the scent of passion. 'What's wrong, Tia? Do you pick up something?''Yes. I hear moaning, and I smell lust and pleasure all around me.'The wolf lay flat on its stomach and advanced slowly toward the nearby bushes. The wind was telling her the scent was coming from the lake. Tia was quiet as she crept behind the shrubs. Her yellow
"Can you believe what we saw last night?" Cameron chuckled. "As a matter of fact, I'm not surprised. After everything I've learnt about these people, nothing is too heinous for them to do," Kanyon explained. "Lets just take a look around and get going. I would rather not stay here another night." "Yes two nights here is enough." King Kanyon and Cameron added another night to their visit so they could tour the pack. The high-ranked quarters were lavishly decorated, and it pissed them off to learn that the omegas didn't dine with the rest of the pack. In fact, they would get the leftover foods that the high-ranked wolves didn't eat. “Ah, there you both are,” Alpha Conroy acknowledged. "I wish you could stay a few more days. My wife and I plan to host a celebration for our twentieth wedding anniversary in the coming days.” Cameron and Kanyon exchanged glances before speaking to the alpha. "I'm afraid we can't do that. We have to leave today," Kanyon answered. "We have lo
Cameron didn't feel like going to Osbourne's castle. He thought Kanyon was too lenient in offering forgiveness. A century ago, Osbourne themed up with his brother and tried to have the King overthrown. He wanted to be the king himself. But they were tried for treason where his brother was locked up for eternity, and he was exiled to this place. ‘Are you sure about this, your majesty?’ Cameron asked through the link as the guards guided them inside the castle. ‘Yes. We won't stay long. I'm going to get his signature on these documents, and then we'll make our way back to the Warmblood pack. Alpha Daniel says Jessica is doing well.’ ‘Great and have you talked to Anna?’ Cameron wanted to know. The king shrugged. ‘Come on, man, she's carrying your pup. I know you smelt the truth on her.’ ‘I tried to block that out, but I guess I'll have to face it head-on. I can't shake off the image of Jessica's reaction when Anna said she was having my child.’ ‘That girl has been through too
"So King Kanyon now owns our pack?" Beta Vernon couldn't believe what he was hearing. "How could you let this happen, Alpha?" "Don't use that tone with me, Vernon. I'm here at your house because I need a friend right now." "But we were never friends, Alpha," Vernon let out. "You always said I'm just your beta and nothing more." "Things have changed, and I say we're friends now," Conroy slurred. He had been drinking continuously ever since he found out that the twenty million dollars weren't meant for him. In the last two days, he neither ate nor took a shower. The unpleasant scent he gave off was driving beta Vernon mad. "Well a friend would tell you that you need a shower and a shave. You look like shit," Vernon stated. "I'll get my daughters to help you," he said. The beta asked his eldest daughter, Sara, to prepare a warm bath for the Alpha. Upon entering the room, Sara greeted both her father and Conroy. The way her dark curly hair framed her cute chubby face made her lo
The car didn't even stop when Kanyon jumped from the passenger seat and rushed towards the hospital. The past few days felt unbearable without seeing Jessica. Cameron chose not to say anything to him. He was just happy that the king found a second chance mate. Speaking of mates, he had one to go greet as well. He could smell her scent all over the field which made him upset. He gave her strict orders not to leave the bedroom. Cameron followed her essence to the dining hall. It was lunchtime and most of the pack warriors were gathered having their meals. When he stepped into the lunch zone, he saw a large assembly of powerful wolves clad in shorts and muscle shirts thumping the tables while yelling, “CHUG!' CHUG! GHUG!" He could detect his mate's scent, but he couldn't see her with his eyes as yet. Someone yelled. "Go Reniece! Go Reniece!" Cameron's muscles tensed up. What in the Moon Goddess's name was going on here? He began to grab werewolves by the shoulders and thr
"Are you sure you're alright?" Ariel took Jessica's hand between her palms. "Is your fever gone?" she felt Jessica's forehead. "Are you hungry? Do you want something to drink?" "Sweetheart," Alpha Daniel interrupted his wife. "I'm sure Jessica is feeling better. Right, dear?" he asked Jessica. "Right, Alpha. I'm fine. Thank you for being here with me," she flinched as she struggled to sit up in the bed. "The doctor thinks you're fit for travel," Daniel beamed. Doctor Anna came into the room to check the IV bag. "She seems to be doing much better. The blood transfusion went well thanks to the Luna, and now the omega is stabilized and hydrated." "Her name is Jessica," Ariel yelled. "It's OK cousin, no need to get angry," Jessica sighed. "Cousin?" Anna raised her brow. "Isn't it wonderful, Anna, that these two found out they're related?" Alpha Daniel beamed. "I'm just happy my darling knows she still has blood out there." "This world is too small, I tell you," Anna
"King Kanyon!" Daniel bowed. "What is going on and why am I here?" Daniel strode over to the king while he finished buttoning his shirt. "Alpha Daniel. Is that really you?""Of course it is, Your Majesty. Is this some kind of April Fool's joke?" he scoffed. "I wish it was," Cameron mumbled. "What's the last thing you remember?" Kanyon asked. "Well, Sofia and I had just celebrated our twentieth wedding anniversary. First, we wandered through the park, then we ran a bit in wolf form, and after that, we went to bed. The next thing I knew I was waking up on that table over there," he finished, pointing to the mage's gurney-like table. "Father, that was over ten years ago," DJ spoke up. "Mom has been dead for fifteen years."Daniel's eyes landed on the tall, muscular man that just called him father. He looked like his son, but a way more mature version. "DJ, is that you? But you look so old. And Sofia is not dead. She can't be." "I'm thirty-five now, Dad, and yes, mom is dead." "How
"Cameron, what's going on? Everything started shaking, and I thought we were having an earthquake," Ren rushed into her husband's arms the moment she laid eyes on him. His gaze wandered to Theodore, who had a terrified Falcon in his arms."No, it's not an earthquake." He kissed the top of his wife's head before spreading a viral message through the pack link, urging all castle residents to get to their bedrooms, lock their doors, and widows then fortify the entrances with Moon Petals. He instructed the guards to secure every entrance and exit in the castle with Moon Petals as well. No one should come in or go out. "Are we under attack?" Falcon asked as he sank his face into Theodore's chest. The vampire prince held his mate tightly, stroking his shoulder for comfort. "No, but someone is doing something inside the castle that they shouldn't be doing," Cam let out. "Everyone stay close together and follow me. We're going to Lucy's chambers."******"Your Majesty," one of the nannies b
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
