MIRANDA’S POVI kept my gaze stuck to the ground, refusing to look Luna Peaches in the eyes. Alpha Nolan was wrong for this. He stripped the Luna naked and chained her up in front of me. This was not how an alpha should treat his Luna. “Raise your head, boy, I want you to count as I go.” My head shot up, and my face was met with Alpha Nolan’s. He was smiling wickedly. “Your mother needs to be punished for disobeying me. She has never done anything like this before and after today she never will again.”My body started to tremble, my eyes scanned the crowd to see if someone, anyone, would speak up and stop this madness, but all I saw were scared faces looking back at me. “Let this be a lesson to you all,” Alpha Nolan spoke. “There is no room for disobedience in this pack. I stand for no disrespect,” he growled, gripping the whip tightly, twirling it around in his hands like it was a toy. “Give her something to bite. The last she-wolf who got whipped bit her tongue off,” the alpha adm
MIRANDA'S POV It had been twenty-four hours since I received my whipping. My back was still sore. I was lying on my belly in a hospital bed, and even though I was still in pain, my mind couldn't stop thinking about Luna Peaches. Was she OK? Were her wounds healing properly? I still couldn't believe how heartless and ruthless Alpha Nolan was. I promised myself I was going to get revenge, not just for me, Nigel, and Taurus, but also for Luna Peaches. I wish someone would come and take her from this hell she was in. No woman should endure these treatments. Peaches deserved better. This pack deserved better. I growled and Taurus shuffled inside my head. “Good, you're awake. I was afraid you wouldn't wake for now.” “Taurus, are you OK?” I asked. I tried to move, but I was too weak. “Hey, don't worry about me. I'm fine,” he said. “Just try not to hackle yourself. I can help with your healing now that you're awake.” I could feel his guilt. Somehow, he blamed himself. “You know thi
NIGEL'S POV “It's great to be me again,” I stretched my arm above my head as the sunlight peek through the trees, giving light to the forest. “Don't just stand there. Take me for a run,” Taurus growled. “OK buddy, let's go.” In wolf form, I zoomed through the woods, enjoying the cool air and the birds whistling above. I felt free and also stronger. “I cannot tell you how much I missed doing this,” I admitted. “I miss doing this with you too,” Taurus confessed. “Now quit playing and let's go full speed ahead.” “You got it buddy,” I chuckled. We picked up speed, going as fast as we could go. Twigs and leaves crunched under our paws as we practically flew through the woods. My muscles felt great as they flexed and bulged as we ran for miles on top of miles. Then we slowed. “Where are we?” Taurus questioned. I looked around, but I didn't recognize this place. “I don't know. I've never seen this place before,” I whispered. My bones cracked, and I transformed back into
THIRD PERSON POV Alpha Nolan was just relieved that the human girl was awake. He wanted the humans off his side of the premise and out of his pack hospital. He still had his son and wife's blood staining his shirt and knuckles, but he didn't care. He felt what he did was justified. His son was weak, and he got his weakness from his weak ass Luna of a mother. Nolan grunted annoyingly as he sauntered down the steps that led to the dungeons. He had a she-wolf to interrogate. When he entered the cellars, his nose flared as he detected the scent of virgin's arousal. With stealth, the Alpha walked up behind the two guards without being heard. Both of them had their dicks in their hands, pleasuring themselves while they watched Eliza spread her pussy and using her fingers to squeeze on her clit. The she-wolf's eyes landed on Alpha Nolan, and she squirmed in excitement. The guards realized her views were focused over their shoulders. They turned to investigate and were consumed by fear wh
THIRD PERSON POV Nurse Sheila helped Miranda to her feet. “There you go, Nigel. I told you you'd be up and running in no time.” “I'm up alright, but I don't feel like running,” Miranda groaned. “Just tell me if you feel anything,” Sheila asked as she used a tiny roller to move around Miranda's back. She hissed when it passed over certain areas. “Good, the numbness and tenderness should disappear in forty-eight hours. But apart from that, you're free to go, Nigel.” Miranda sighed. “Thanks for everything, Nurse Sheila,” she nodded. Duran rushed inside the room, winded from excitement. “He's awake!” He yelled, and Nurse Sheila raised a brow at him. “I mean Miranda's awake.” Miranda's eyes lit up. She grabbed a shirt and pulled it over her head. Duran held her hand and helped her along the corridors until they arrived at Nigel's room. They entered only to see Valko sitting on a chair by the bed and Velma curled up next to Nigel, under his arm. “I miss you, Hot Stuff,” Nige
THIRD PERSON POV Days had passed, and Nigel was out of the hospital and back at Miranda's home. His memory of the last few months was still foggy. He had a hard time believing that Miranda and her friends knew about his kind. Plus, he was annoyed by her parents' constant worrying over him. They told him they finally got him a driver to take him to and from school. That he didn’t mind. “Honey, are you sure you will be OK?” Melissa asked him as she locked her suitcase. “Yes, I'll be fine. Roger and Clarke are here to keep me company, plus I have the Vanderwolfs to call in case of an emergency,” Nigel answered. His father and Miranda's father had been hanging out a lot lately, which he found odd. His dad didn't like humans, but seemed to genuinely like Paul. “OK honey, we will be back Monday afternoon, but Mr. Forester, your new driver, will pick you three up and 8:20 sharp Monday morning for school, so don't keep him waiting,” Melissa said. She hugged the three teens and grabbe
THIRD PERSON POV Lazarus stared blankly at the leather book sitting in the glass casing. What was the Book Of The God's doing in his father's castle? A book that was said to be lost thousands of years ago. The others waited for the vampire to speak, for him to even move his eyelids, but he was at a loss for words. Did the King know about this? Of course he must have, nothing happened in the castle that he didn’t know about. Lazarus knew when his father returned, he would sense that he had guests over without his permission. But that was an issue Lazarus would deal with when the time comes. “So are we gonna read it or just stare at it for the rest of our lives?” Nigel asked, and Lazarus finally blinked and moved his neck so he could look at his comrades. “It's not that simple. Only someone who's pure can open the book,” he mentioned, finally being able to process the situation. If only they knew how dangerous having this book was. “Problem solved. Miranda is a virgin,” Velma
LAZARUS'S POV My mind kept racing at the speed of light. I couldn't think straight, knowing that my eternal mate was under the same roof with me and not in my arms. Velma was driving me nuts. I hissed, grabbing my bottle of brandy and pouring some in my liquor glass. I sipped on it, letting the alcohol roll around in my mouth a little before I swallowed it. The brandy smoothly slid down my throat, warming up my icy heart. I looked over at my bed. "Velma should be here now," I fussed, downing the rest of my beverage. A knock sounded on my door. I glided over and opened it. I knew exactly who it was. "Sire," the two vampires bowed. "What brings you two to my chambers at this hour?" I asked them. "Seros and I heard you brought werewolves and humans inside the castle today," Fitzroy spoke. "Please tell me this isn’t so." "What if I did? This is my castle," I roared. "Forgive us, Sire," Seros cleared his throat. "But this is your father's castle, and he won't take it kindly
NIGEL'S POVI was tired and hungry, plus I didn't understand why these nerds weren't bothered by the shit smell that was seeping off my so-called grandpa. So what if he looked exactly like my dad under his hobo appearance? That still didn't make him my grandfather. I hissed because if he resembled my father, it also meant he resembled me since people said I was a spitting image of my dad. Life was so unfair. I hate this, and I hate him. Nigel Senior, I scoffed. Why did Father have to name me after such an evil man? "Are we there yet?" I was this close to screaming and throwing a bitch-fit. My feet hurt to the point they felt like they were about to fall off. "Just a couple more minutes," my grandpappy answered. His breath smelt terrible... Like when was the last fucking time he used toothpaste? I looked around and smacked myself in the face. There were no supermarkets or malls here, so of course he didn't have access to the finer things in life. And Miranda thought Howling's Cliff
MIRANDA'S POV"Excuse me! Come again! You're my what?" I asked, raising my hands in the air and waving them about like I was at a rock concert. With his palm still outstretched to me, he repeated, "My name is Alpha Nigel Vanderwolf, and I am your grand...""Yes, yes, I heard you the first time,” I choked out. "But you just said I should...""I know what I just said, it was a rhetorical question." When he realized I wasn't going to shake his hand, he dropped it to his side. My eyes scanned him from head to toe. "Mighty God!" I yelped when I saw his feet. His toes seemed like they were not on speaking terms with each other to how far apart they were spread. His rugged look reminded me of when Alan came back after spending twenty years in the Jumanji Jungle. "So you're Nigel Senior," Valko finally spoke. He stepped up to the old man. "I'm Valko Silver.""Ah, I should have known Valor's pup would be following behind Nolan's pup's tail," he chuckled, and Velma growled. "And what's your
THIRD-PERSON POVA werewolf emerged from the shadows, but he was not an ordinary predator. He moved like he was a shadow; he made no sounds or caused no ruckus. He fixed his bright red eyes on the human girl curled up in the arms of the young werewolf. The sounds of their heavy breathings and thumping hearts were music to his ears because he found satisfaction in seeing his victims paralysed with fright, which made their flesh soft for him to dine on. Their screams also made their blood turned sweeter, resulting in the best sort of perfume for him. His nostrils widened as he detected the scent of the human. He curled back his lips, revealing his dark gums and yellow stained teeth, letting out a low rumbling growl. He didn’t care that he was outnumbered, as he already understood their outcomes; within moments, the girl would suffer a fatal wound to her throat, her body would be eaten, and her blood would mark the ground covered in grass. It would be easy for him to pick them off on
THIRD-PERSON POVDuran's mind kept going back to his mate, wondering what she was doing, and if she missed him. Izanna's description of the Mad Alpha was making him rethink this trip he was on. He should have stayed home with his mate who was carrying his pup. The Moon Goddess would be cruel to kill him now after all that he had been through. As he made his way to the Mystic Mountain, his mind became chaotic. Clarke occupied most of Valko's thoughts. He loved how vibrant and red her hair was and how incredibly luscious, thick and flawless those curls were. He kept reminiscing about how she arched her back and flashed her hair from side to side when they made love. Now he wondered if coming on this adventure was the right thing to do. Breathing out, he made his way steadily toward the mountain that was said to be home to this Mad Alpha. Velma walked alongside Lazarus, their hands intertwined. The two seemed inseparable now that most of their friends knew they were true mates. Velma w
LAZARUS'S POVIt had been two centuries since I tasted human blood. Other vampires might describe it as being rich, tantalizing, or irresistible. But for me it is sensual, addictive, and climatic. The taste of this human's blood was unlike any I'd ever tasted. It was like I couldn't stop. The more mouthfuls I took, the more my thirst intensified.I could feel Nigel's muscles resisting at first when my fangs found his flesh and pierced into it. The soft warmth giving way like a ripe melon, filling my mouth with thick, delicious blood. He shuddered in my hands as I drew deep, gulping mouthful after mouthful, revelling in the strength and life that filled my veins, jolted my limbs, granted me a semblance of life.Soon my pheromones entered his bloodstream through my saliva and even though I was killing him, the high and ecstasy of my bite was tricking his brain into begging me not to stop. He let out soft moans, his body relaxing as I supported more of his weight with my strong arms w
THIRD-PERSON POV Miranda found the walk back to the Nymph camp less awkward than she expected. She learned that Nigel had been retrieving bits of his memory for the last couple of days, but once he emerged from the whirlpool, everything flooded back to him. They walked hand in hand, enjoying their conversation. He questioned her regarding her training with beta Valor, and she felt compelled to tell him the truth that things weren't progressing well. "I'm glad you told me," Nigel murmured. "Father must be pissed." "Yeah, he is big mad," Miranda whispered. "I just wish I knew how mom is doing, especially after learning that father whipped you," he paused. "I'm so sorry, Miranda." "It's OK, it's not your fault." Miranda felt guilty for keeping what truly happened to Peaches from Nigel. "I know, even so, I wish I was there for you." "Believe me, you should feel grateful that you missed what he did to Peaches." "MIRANDA!" Taurus boomed. "Crap," Miranda cursed und
MIRANDA'S POV "Where do you buy your perfume?" He asked out of the blue. We seized our splashes and worked to catch our breaths. "At an outlet." "Oh, I think I will get some when we go home. I've run out, and I like how it smells." "OK," I let out with a questioning tone. "Cool," he answered. "You're weird," I wrinkled my nose. "I am?" He challenged, moving impossibly closer to me so that my chest was touching his, causing me to gulp in exhilaration and also intimidation. I thought we were done touching for now. "Yes you are." "Well you're beautiful, Miranda." What? "Are you high or something?" I snorted, trying to act unaffected, although my heart was beating at an inhumanly fast speed. "I can't be here for this," Taurus rumbled. "I'm out." I felt Taurus drifting away, refusing to endure us any further. He shook his head. "I'm completely sober." "Well thank you, I guess," I replied, swallowing hard. "You're beautiful too, Nigel." "I know," he smir
MIRANDA'S POV I was really nervous and couldn't believe I was actually skinny-dipping in an enchanted lagoon with Nigel Vanderwolf. I was too busy asking myself why the heck was I doing this to notice Nigel swimming closer to me. "Why do you look so constipated?" He asked. I shifted my gaze in a shy manner, blushing as I realized he had noticed my uncertainty. "I am not constipated, I'm just..." His hands around my shoulders cuts my speech. "Nervous? But there's nothing to be nervous about," he chuckled. "Look around you, we're in a mystical place swimming in the bluest lagoon I've ever seen." "Yes, but we're also naked," I told him, my mind trying to think about something other than us touching while we were both naked. "So what? We were born naked," he cackled. "Look Miranda, if you're gonna roll with werewolves, you've gotta learn how to swing in the nude 99 percent of the time." "Believe that," I heard Taurus let out. "I don't think I'll ever get used t
THIRD-PERSON POV The group of heroes continued following the nymph until they started to notice a surreal light filtering from between some palm trees that stood in line like soldiers, but up further there were a few that were woven together almost like fabric. The branches formed one huge canopy over the top of this charming spot. While the friends studied the branches, they became aware of their surroundings. In the stillness, the wind serenaded a sweet melody through the air. The breeze against their cheeks felt like tiny wet kisses against their skin. As the leaves rustled together, they formed a soothing ambiance that enveloped the group, making them feel secure and tranquil. The echoes of laughter and idle conversations filled the air around them. With each step they took, the noise increased in volume. The sound of birds singing and flutes playing romantic ballads also filled the air. Izanna made an abrupt stop and instructed everyone to be quiet before she pulled
