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
The news of Anna's pregnancy spread through the Warmblood pack like wildfire. Anna told the cook, who brought dinner for her while she slept in the hospital. The cook told the stable-boy who told the handmaiden, who told the butler, who told the pack hairdresser, and you know nothing stays a secret once the hairdresser learns your business. It only took two hours for the pack to be whispering and gossiping about the king of all Lycan Kings and Anna's love affair. "I heard he couldn't resist her beauty," a she-wolf said to the gardener. "Well I heard she fed him stewed peas sprinkled with blood in order to seduce him," the gardener replied. So many different stories were getting around that the truth was getting lost in the lies. ***** "What the fuck Cameron! I told you Anna is having a boy and ten minutes later, it is all over the pack," Kanyon fumed. "I didn't say anything to anybody. I was surprised when Theo mentioned it to me and that boy doesn't even leave his
Anna thanked the lycan with a smile for assisting her in moving her belongings into her bedroom. "Thank you for your help." "My pleasure, madam. If you need anything, I'll be stationed at your door. I am Lewis, by the way," the Lycan bowed. "And I'm Annabella, but everyone calls me Anna." "Alright Anna. Enjoy the rest of your morning and welcome to our kingdom," Lewis beamed before he left the chambers. Anna's face immediately fell into a scowl. She hoped that Kanyon would have been the one to take her to her new suite, but he dismissed her as if she were his biggest inconvenience and sent a staff member to guide her instead. "I'm so fucking pissed off right now!" she grunted as she kicked her shoes off. "It's not like Jessica's child was his. Why did he have to go with her to the grave?" 'Don't be bitter, Anna. The king will be here soon. So why don't you go freshen up and wear something sexy to catch his eyes,' her wolf suggested. 'I don't think I can look sexy wit
"Enough about mascots! I could use some sleep right now,” Reniece yawned. "OK," Cameron chuckled. He grabbed two pillows along with a blanket and flung them down on the carpet. Reniece took it upon herself to go settle on the floor. "What are you doing?" "This is me resting my head on the pillow.” She fixed her head on the pillow. "And this is me getting ready to go to sleep.” She turned her back to him and pulled the blanket under her chin. Her eyes widened when she felt the blankets being dragged from her body. "What is the meaning of this?" "Get on the bed!" Cameron gritted out. "The floor is mine." "Did you mark your territory with piss or something? You take the bed," she bit back. "I feel like I’ve been cursed. You're so stubborn," he hissed. "Just get on the damn bed." "I prefer the floor,” she spoke calmly. "OK. Sleep on the damn floor if you want. I don't care,” Cameron complained while stepping over her and heading to the bed. "See. Wasn't that easy-peas
King Kanyon remained patient while Jessica gathered her thoughts. He told her everything about how his wife died, well, almost everything. He left out the fact that Ellie is her aunt and her mother's twin sister. "Kanyon! I'm at a loss for words," she gasped. "How can one woman be so evil?" "I was on my way to gut her when I found you," he sighed. "Call it fate or coincidence, but I was meant to find you that day." "I'm glad you did,” she beamed. "There is something else I want to tell you," he stated. "I went to the Graceland pack and had a meeting with the alpha and Luna. I also met the red-headed harlots and Cory and his wife." "So they got married," she rolled her eyes. "Figures,” she scoffed. “But how did I not know you went to see them?” "It was after the vampire almost drained your blood. You were in and out of consciousness, and recovering in the hospital, so Cam and I used that time to pay the pack a little visit." "I wish I could have come." "I'm glad you did
It took Jessica some time before she could drift off to sleep. No other kiss had ever made her feel the way that one did. It was like her soul touched his. It was magical. "Get a grip, Jess," she mumbled to herself. She tossed and turned, fluffing her pillows, struggling to get comfortable. Still, how could she manage to think clearly when her mind was filled with thoughts of Kanyon's soft yet demanding lips and his enticing aroma? He smelt like sex itself and his masculinity was overwhelming. Each time she ran her hands over him, the way he would clench his jaws and the hardness of his muscles made her swallow nervously. Plus he opened up about his feelings for her. Was it even real? She pondered. She let out a tired yawn. "I know. I'll phone Ariel in the morning and ask her for some advice." Jessica blinked away the world and peacefully dozed off. ****** Jessica opened her eyes to find herself surrounded by total darkness. She couldn't see anything at all; no lights,
'Slow down, Sinbad,' Kanyon asked his beast as they bolted back to the castle. He took Sin out for a hunt because they couldn't sleep, not after that kiss with Jessica. 'I just can't get her out of my mind,' Sinbad complained. 'Will she ever trust us enough to give us her heart?' 'I don't know, Sin. We'll just have to give her a little more time,' Kanyon murmured. 'I don't know if I have it in me to wait,' Sinbad hissed. 'Last night I wanted to grab her and mark her right there by her door.' 'That would have traumatized her even more,' Kanyon let out. 'I know,' Sin growled. 'It was never this difficult with Ellie. Why is that?' 'Isn't it obvious? We loved Ellie, we still do, but we were never in love with her. We might have stolen a few kisses from her, but there was a reason we were never eager to bed her. We weren't sexually attracted to her.’ 'I always thought that maybe we were just too busy running our own kingdoms to partake in sexual exercises,' Sin chuckled. ‘B
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
