I barely stepped out of the shower after washing Marcus’s blood off me, when Luca mind-links me, taking me by complete surprise. “You’re taking her away?”
“It’s for the best…look what her mere presence has done to you.”
Luca is quiet, but I can still feel our link. “Luca? Talk to me, bud.”
“Jolie will never forgive me.”
“Yes, she will. You didn’t do anything unforgivable.”
“I attacked you…because I wanted your mate. I have a lot more sympathy for Marcus now.”
“Don’t be stupid, man, you’re nothing like him.”
“I should be the one who leaves, not Maya. She brought our pack back together--”
“Eventually, all the wolves will start behaving like you. I suspect the only reason the true Omegas haven’t become aggressive yet, is because they fear stronger wolves. They felt it much sooner…I saw it on her first day here.”
“I know what I did was stupid. Wrong. I don’t expect anything--”

“Maya,” Edric grabs my shoulders and tries to shake me awake. “No,” I mumble, “please… I’m tired. No more. Can’t you just do it yourself?” I don’t know what came over him, but the moment we set foot inside the little motel, he pushed me up against the wall, ripping my clothes off, and pounded me half senseless. He woke me up three more times. It was like he couldn’t get enough. I’m sure there’s some kind of deep-seated reason behind it that I am not getting, but I really can’t do it again. “No,” he whispers, his mouth close to my ear. “There’s a vampire outside. Get ready to shift and run.” I bolt upright. “What?” He puts his finger against his lips. “Their senses are off the charts,” he says in my head. “They can hear us talking a mile away.” “We’re not fighting?” “With what? We don’t have any weapons.” “Can’t we just, I don’t know, rip his throat out?” “If you can catch him. Do you know how fast vampires are?”

Gabriel's Story: “You sent for me?” I walked into the carnival tent. Abbadon sat behind a roughly hewn table that was covered in a red velvet cloth, a crystal ball, and a deck of tarot cards in front of him. He had been living with the carnival for the last two years, pretending to be a medium. For some reason, it amused him no end to pretend he could communicate with the humans’ dearly departed. In actual fact, he was just reading their minds, but they flocked to him like starving children to candy. Abbadon shuffled his cards and looked up at me with his silver-blue eyes. He was the only vampire with eyes like that…they made women and men go weak in the knees in equal measure, but Abbadon gave up sex years ago. He no longer found joy in the simple things in life. “Gabriel,” he said. “I’ve found the perfect candidate.” “Not this again. You have tried three times. It is time to let it go. The babies keep dying, and how many pie

Gabriel's Story – Part Two: “Good evening, Claire,” I said. She looked up, anger flashing in her eyes. “I should have known. Every year on her birthday. Why can’t you leave us alone?” I revealed myself to Claire when Maya was two. With my help, she could not remember the night she went to Abbadon, and I would have been happy to let her live with this ignorance for the rest of her life, but Maya scared her. The little girl’s magical abilities were not that of a normal witch, and Claire did not understand why. In her mind, Maya was possessed. Her mother was getting ready to smother the girl in her sleep when I stopped her. “I told you…Abbadon tasked me with looking after Maya, if I do not send him a report every year, he will throw me in the howling pits. I have no desire to end up in hell. Maya’s abilities are getting stronger. Did you notice?” Claire’s eyes darkened with sorrow and fear. “Yes.” “You know

Edric's POV: I’m not surprised. I should be, but I think deep down I knew it all along. The way she arrested Kenneth’s shift and pulled his wolf from his body. Only the most powerful witches can do it, and only after many years of training. She did it without even trying. My mate jumps up, and runs for the door. “Maya, no!” I grab her just as she starts to open the door and slam it shut. I keep my hand on the door, trapping her. “It’s not safe for you out there.” “Let her go,” Gabriel says quietly. I turn on the vampire. “Who says you get to have an opinion on the matter?” We growl at each other. Maya looks from me to Gabriel, anger burning in her eyes. “Neither of you get to have an opinion. This is my life and my problem.” “It’s not just your life,” I say. “I’m your mate. This affects me too.” “And what are you going to do? The way I see it, I’m the strongest one in this room, yet you presume you can tell me

Edric's POV:“Maya?” I ask. “What’s wrong?” She smells like blood, but I can’t see any on her. “What happened? Where did you go last night?”She doesn’t answer me, just keeps staring at me with those wild eyes.“Hey,” I grip her shoulder and she visibly recoils from me.“Don’t touch me.”“What?” I ask. Her reaction surprises me at first, but panic is slowly pushing its way through. What happened to her last night? I drop my hand and put some distance between us. “Can you talk to me at least?”“You and your non-stop talking. All you ever want to do is talk-talk-talk…like that fixes anything.”I try to ignore her nasty attitude and hide my growing anger. “That is what people usually do--”“Edric,” Cameron calls from outside.“Maya,” I mind-link m

I stare out of the window of the king’s retrofitted SUV, ignoring the conversation. Two warriors are sitting in front, taking turns to drive. There are two sets of seats in the back that face each other, and the windows are tinted and bulletproof. Two unassuming cars accompany us: one in front of us and one in the back. I don’t bother asking if a werewolf king is really so important that someone would risk assassinating him.Edric already told me everything that happened after I ran out of the room last night, which makes me even more nervous about seeing my parents now. What if my mom says something she shouldn’t? What if she tells the king I’m a witch-goddess-werewolf hybrid made by a vampire with godlike powers?~ You made me, ~ my wolf says, ~ not Abbadon. ~* Did you know? That I made you? *~ No. I just existed one day. I know what you know. ~ No wonder she was so confused and timid in the beginning. ~ You want to kill me, ~

“You’ll be okay,” Edric says, taking my sweaty hand in his. “I’m right here.” I stare up at a house I don’t know. Behind the simple front door and dirty grey walls are my parents, my siblings. My heart hammers in my chest, and the need to vomit sits very close to the surface. I take a deep breath, trying to still my pounding heart. “Okay, let’s go.” Cameron nods and taking the lead, walk up the cracked path. My father used to take such pride in his garden and home. What happened? The place looks almost deserted. I pick an eviction notice up from the front step. Are they even still here? The doorbell doesn’t work, so the king resorts to pounding on the door so hard that it rattles in the frame. It takes a long time before anyone answers. I’m about to show the eviction notice to Cameron, and suggest we leave, when a haggard old man with unkempt grey hair opens the door, staring out at us with watery eyes. I almost don’t recognise my own father. He aged twenty y

Edric's POV:It’s almost like someone flipped a switch in Maya’s head, and for the first time since I met her, my mate looks content. She sits with her head against the car window, looking out at the lush greenery that speeds by us, a small smile on her lips. I am less enamoured by what I see.It’s mostly swampland, with rare glimpses of waterless patches. Creepers and gnarled plants I don’t recognise try to make their way out of the swamp. It’s a wonder they can even keep the roads clear. How can a wolf live out here? Surrounded by alligators and snakes? How do they shift without fear?Feeling my eyes on her, Maya stops looking out the window. “What?” she asks.All I can do is shake my head. I have no words to tell her how I feel. How proud I am to call her mine. How happy I am that she’s here with me, and I don’t have to face my grandfather alone.Cameron tried very hard to co

Abbadon's POV For ten years, I managed to stay away from Maya, and then I couldn’t stand it anymore. I left my home in Greece and went back. I watched her from afar, my heart screaming out to her, but knowing I couldn’t interfere. She needed her peace, and she found it. She was happy, living a life of domestic bliss with her mate and their mini-pack of eight pups. Deimos grew into an admirable young Alpha, and I felt her sadness on the day he left to take his place as Silver Springs’ leader. He was loved and respected. He visited his parents every chance he got until he stepped down as Alpha and was never seen again. Warwick took the throne on his twenty-fifth birthday. Edric was happy to retire. He was a good king and dragged his tribe into the twenty-first century whether they liked it or not, but he never wanted the job. He was at his happiest when his children and grandchildren surrounded him. Their third child, a boy named Joshua, returned to Mountain Fire when he was twenty.
The Accidental Werewolf Chapter 158
With Warwick resting on my hip, and my other hand in Deimos’s I look around our apartment one last time. It was our home for more than a year, and I’ve grown oddly attached to it. “Where going, mama?” Deimos asks.I look down at my one-year-old who isn’t behaving like other one-year-olds and smile at him. “We’re going home.”“This home.”“No kid,” Edric says from the doorway. “This isn’t our home anymore. I build us a better home.”“Hellooo,” Cedric calls from the living room, his voice echoing in the empty apartment. “One last time for good luck.”I start laughing and let Edric take Deimos before we leave our bedroom for the last time.Cedric and Stephen waits for us in the living room surrounded by their three pups. They took to parenthood like ducks take to water, and soon after the pups arrived, Cedric resigned as Edric’s Gamma. “Are you sure?” Edric asked.“Yes,” Cedric replied, beaming at Edric. “It’s all I want now.”“You don’t just want paternity leave?” Edric joked. “Reconsid
The Accidental Werewolf Chapter 157
Edric's POV Our date night turned into a bit of a flop. We had to take it in turns to stop each other. When Maya lost control, I’d remind her to stop, and when it was my turn to lose control, she’d remind me to stop, but somehow we made it work. Together, we found new and interesting ways to satisfy each other, rediscovering each other’s bodies. I yawn and flop backward on the bed. The moment we were home, Maya rushed off to find the boys, and I take the time to enjoy the silence. Goddess knows, I love my sons, but I do enjoy these quiet moments. It gives me a chance to think. The one good thing that came out of last night was that Maya finally opened up to me and shared her fears. Now that we’re talking openly and frankly again, I’m hoping that she’ll slow down and spend more time with me. I miss her. My phone starts vibrating and I pull it out of my pocket. With a frown I stare at the caller ID. “Adrian?” I answer. “Hello,” he says. It’s strange to hear his voice. We haven’t sp
The Accidental Werewolf Chapter 156
Edric's POV Maya’s heat comes on as suddenly as it did the last time, only this time I’m here to experience it, and she’s not locked behind several layers of wood and steel. One moment, everything’s fine, the next I almost drive off the road as her scent fills the car and attacks my senses. I wipe my wet palms on my jeans and try to pay attention to the road so I don’t kill us. “What’s wrong?” she asks. “You don’t know?” I ask in return, hearing my voice rise several octaves. “You’re in heat.” “Is that what it is? I just thought I’m horny for…well, no good reason at all.” She laughs uncomfortably and shifts around in her seat. “Shouldn’t I get some kind of warning or something?” “Normally, yes…but we forget sometimes that you’re not normal.” We are almost to the hotel and the road is clear with no other cars in sight, but I’m not sure I’m going to make it. Blood rushes through me so fast that I can barely hear, let alone see. Just like last time her heat overwhelms me and I can’t
The Accidental Werewolf Chapter 155
I crash through the misty woods, my wolf pushing our body harder than I thought was possible, oblivious to our surroundings as we keep trying to get away from whatever it is that’s chasing us. I never saw what it was. I just felt it. Danger. It’s right on top of us. ~ Go faster! ~ I scream at my wolf. She increases her pace, but we won’t be able to do this for much longer. We’ve been running for hours, and our legs are about to give out. At first, I’m relieved to see him. Abbadon lands in front of me, and I dash past him, placing myself between him and the thing chasing us. Finally, we can stop. I collapse to the ground, and my exhausted wolf lets go, forcing me to shift back to human. I curl up in a little ball on the cold, wet, forest floor and try to catch my breath, trusting that Abbadon will take care of the dangerous thing I’m trying to escape. I look up at Abbadon. My mate. No matter what he is or what he does, he’ll never harm me. “Is that what you think?” he asks in his
The Accidental Werewolf Chapter 154
Edric's POV The weeks slip by without anyone taking much notice. New Year’s day comes and goes without much fanfare, but a week into the new year, Maya insists on speaking to Alpha Neil about Deimos, and after days of pestering me about it, I give in. The Alpha doesn’t tell us anything I haven’t already told her. “I don’t know what else I can say, Queen,” Neil says. “We grow up fast, and we shift young--” he shrugs --“but that’s just how it is with our kind. We are big, we’re strong, and we’re violent.” Maya shudders lightly and looks over at Deimos who is trying to pull himself upright against a couch. “He’s not even five months old yet,” she whispers. “Yes,” Neil replied. “And by the time he’s twelve, he’ll look like a fully grown man. But you have to remember, he’s still just a child.” The Alpha bites into his nails, his face pensive, then he sighs and goes on. “This is important. The first shift is the worst. It lasts for hours, and it is brutal. Make sure you lock him up.” “W
The Accidental Werewolf Chapter 153
I haven’t seen Edric in such a good mood since the day he introduced me to the pack back at Mountain Fire. At first, the higher-ranking wolves wouldn’t join us, refusing to eat with the ‘lower filth’ as one of the warriors called the True Omega that walked past him. Just when I thought my grand plan would come apart at the seams, Stephen and Cedric jumped in and arranged everyone according to their rank, which placated some of the grumpier wolves. Less than an hour later, everyone is happily chatting and enjoying the day. Even Maxwell and Alexander’s widow, Esther, came out of their hiding place to join us, but they are sitting by themselves, away from the rest of the tribe. “He looks much better,” I say while staring at Edric’s uncle. Edric looks up and follows my gaze. “Yes, now that he’s not getting poisoned every day. He’s actually improving, but he’s still not speaking. Winston says the damage to his brain is catastrophic. He’ll heal some, but he’ll never be quite…right.” I’ve
The Accidental Werewolf Chapter 152
Edric's POV I lie on my side, watching Maya sleep, trying to get rid of the unnecessary guilt that’s trying to eat me alive. She kept trying to reassure me that it’s okay, but I’ve been so conditioned by my time with Mountain Fire, that I can’t let go and believe it. I lost control. "Alphas don't lose control," I can practically hear my father's voice. It's as if he's standing right next to me. "It's a thin line between losing control and going feral." Sighing, I pull on a pair of loose boxers and go back to the balcony for a glass of wine. I won't be able to sleep while I feel like this anyway. “Evening,” Stephen says from their balcony. “Hey,” I answer and pour some wine into my glass before I walk over to the low wall separating the two balconies. “Where’s Cedric?” “Inside, feeding Warwick. How’s your date going?” “Well, it’s not…I think it’s over. Maya’s asleep.” Stephen laughs softly. “Yeah, I’m sure she’s tuckered out. You two were a bit…loud.” I blush, grateful for the d
The Accidental Werewolf Chapter 151
It’s like I’m standing outside myself. Watching, hearing, feeling and seeing everything my wolf does. I have no control over myself and my body anymore. It was already too late when Edric brought me inside -- by then she had taken control because she sensed my hesitation. Edric tries to pull away from me, but she growls a low warning and grips his hair, roughly pulling him back to her, folding her lips around his mouth. The kiss steals the breath from my body and drives me insane with dark, needy lust. I want to stop fighting it, want to stop overthinking every little thing, I want to stop fighting my wolf and just let it happen. I want to find my mate again and be with him like we used to be when we found each other. Edric picks me up, and I wrap my legs around him. He carries me across the room, slamming me against the wall so hard that my head connects to it with a jarring thud. It doesn’t even slow my wolf down. Her claws surface and she rips his shirt to ribbons. I’m terrified
