2024-10-29 19:42:56Edric's POV:
We sneak back into the dark pack house, exhausted but exhilarated after a successful shift. Lycans can shift back to human form long before sunrise, and we decided that it was our safest option, despite most of us longing to stay out the whole night.
The pack left us to our own devices, thank Goddess. I am furious with my family, but I don’t want to see them dead. “Be alert,” I tell my warriors. “I have a feeling they haven’t given up yet.”
“Do you need a guard at your door, King?”
“No. Just watch your backs.”
Deimos slept through the whole shift, and while my warriors came and went, Maya stood guard over his tiny frame, growling dangerously whenever anyone came too close. Her instincts to protect the pup amazed me.
He’s a good baby, but so different that it’s almost unsettling. My first instinct was the same as Luca’s, but then I made

Edric's POV: We don’t stop until we reach Darius’s territory. Unsurprisingly, he waits for us on the border with his warriors. I ready myself for another fight, but they don’t shift. The Alpha lays clothes down before us and goes to one knee, bowing his head, his warriors following his example. He doesn’t need to show me this kind of respect – I’m not his king, but I take it as a good sign. I shift to human and quickly pull on the pair of shorts by my feet. It’s a snug fit, but at least I’m not naked. “Thank you, Darius. Please stand.” He does as I ask. Smiling, he holds out his hand, walking towards me. “It’s so good to see you again, King Edric.” “Just Edric,” I grin and accept his hand. “I take it my father told you I’m on my way?” “Yes. I am so sorry…I never thought I’d see the day that Mountain Fire exiles a pup. What happened to them?” “I don’t know.” I swallow my sadness. “If it’s not too much to ask, I’d like y

I hand Deimos to Clarissa. “Edric said no.” “He’s just protective after what happened.” I adjust Deimos’s blanket and stare into his peaceful face. “Call me if he needs anything.” “Of course.” Feeling guilty, I have to force myself to walk away from Deimos. Leaving my pup with a stranger, just for a few moments of pleasure feels so wrong, but deep down, I also know I have to nurture my relationship with Edric – especially after what happened. We came very close to losing each other. I close the bedroom door behind me and look at my beautiful, strong mate sitting on the edge of the bed, impatiently waiting for me. “Are we bad parents?” he asks. “No,” I say, even though I feel like one. “We need this too.” I walk over to the bed and straddle Edric. I grip his face between my hands and kiss him, giving in to the ripples of electricity running through me. Growling softly, his arms wrap around and he flips me over onto the mattress,

He takes my breath away. He shouldn’t, but I can’t stop the physical reaction to him. The moment my eyes fall on Abbadon, I feel it. The unmistakable pull of our mate bond. He is tall, at least as tall as Edric, with silver-blue eyes and long dark blonde hair. Dressed in a black, three-piece suit, he looks like a movie vampire. Beautiful and deadly. His perfect, full lips pull into a smile and he steps forward, closing the gap between us. My head starts spinning – unlike Gabriel, Abbadon has a scent. “Can you feel it?” he whispers. “Yes,” I answer, nearly breathless. This is wrong. I have a mate. He’s waiting for me, trusting me to go back to him and our child. “You can’t fight it, Maya,” Abbadon says. “Our bond is much stronger than the one you share with that wolf--” he puts his hand over my heart --“you have a part of me inside you.” “I have a part of The Goddess inside me.” “Which comes from me. You belong to me. You have always belonged t
The Accidental Werewolf Chapter 100
Abbadon's POV: I stare at my mate, trying to hide my fury from her. How fucking dare she? How dare she take on a child? One that isn’t even hers? I was this pissed when I found out about Edric sodding Payne, but Gabriel reminded me that she wasn’t even aware of my existence at the time and that the mate pull is nearly impossible to resist. And of course, The Moon Goddess interfered, as she always does. Naturally, I couldn’t blame Maya for accepting that stinking animal as her mate. Fuck, how much I want to rip Edric’s head from his shoulders, but if I do, I’d probably kill my mate. I’ll wait. Until she’s fully mine. Until she’s immortal and the pain of the broken bond can’t kill her. But now this. The fucking child. Even after she found out about me, and knew what her true destiny is. I have to get control of myself. Have to let my anger go. I will do anything I can to keep her alive and happy. I’ve waited for her for centuries. Tore
The Accidental Werewolf Chapter 101
I wake in the middle of the day, disorientated and cold. The window is wide open, letting a freezing breeze in. I get up and close the window, looking down at my soaked shirt. My breasts are rock hard, and sharp needles of pain shoot through them. I have to feed Deimos. I look around the room for my baby and remember where I am. The sorrow and the aching need for him crash over me, and I sink to the bed, crying. Abbadon gave me a choice. I can go back. I can be with my child. ~ But he’ll want us back here eventually, ~ my wolf says, ~ and he will kill me. ~ * If we stay he’ll kill you sooner. * ~ Which is why we have to kill him first. ~ God. If I found Abbadon five months ago, I’d have been ecstatic at the idea of getting rid of my wolf, now the thought alone horrifies me. I can’t imagine what my life would be like without her. * I won’t let him do that. * I go to the small bathroom that’s attached to my room, and leaning over the sink, I sta

I get lost in Abandon’s fiery kiss. Every fibre of my being is alight with the need for him.If he can do this to me with just a kiss, what else can he do? My body is numb, the only living part is my throbbing pussy, aching to feel him inside me. He grabs my ass and pulls me tightly against him, pushing his erection into my belly. “Maya?” Edric asks in my head, his voice sounds so faint and far away, that it hurts. “Please tell me you’re okay.”That’s Edric. My mate. Staying at home to look after our child, because he trusts me. Because I promised him I’d eliminate the vampire that threatens our future…and here I am, kissing that very same vampire.What is wrong with me?“No,” I mutter and step away from Abbadon, pressing my trembling fingers against my lips. “I’m sorry,” I say. “I can’t.”He tucks stray hair behind my ears and gives me a quiverin
The Accidental Werewolf Chapter 103
Abbadon’s POV: Everything’s going exactly to plan. I know she misses her other mate, the one The Goddess sent to her. I’d be shocked by her cruelty of fating only one mate to Edric, but I hate the fucking son of a bitch, so my sympathy for him is a little on the low side. I stand at the window, looking at Maya. My whole being cries out for her. She sits on the lawn with her legs pulled up, her head turned sideways, cheek resting on her knees, eyes closed. She looks so peaceful that it makes my heart ache. I don’t know if she’s communicating with the wolf again. She thinks I don’t know that she’s mind-linking with him, but I can hear his voice in her head. Yesterday, she left me just so she could talk to him, but last night, she was all mine. My hard cock strains against the fabric of my trousers. It’s been a while since I’ve been with anyone – almost twenty-two years in fact. From the night I made her u

Abbadon hits the target of the ball-throwing game with one try, breaking the steel target clean off its hinge. The carnie glares at him with a look of pure disbelief on his face. “How did you…here,” he rips a massive stuffed orange dinosaur off a hook and shoves it at Abbadon. “Why, thank you kindly, dear sir,” he mocks and hands me the toy. “Thank you,” I snort-laugh and fold my arms around the giant dinosaur. “Maybe it’s time we left,” I offer. “Yes,” he says and stares at the bathrooms in the distance. “I just want to wash my hands.” “Okay,” I start walking with him in the direction of the restrooms, but he stops me. “No. Wait here. I won’t be long. In fact--” he digs his car keys out of his pocket and hands them to me --“just go wait for me in the truck. It’s getting cold.” At first, I think nothing of it. I take the car keys without arguing, but then that nagging little voice that followed me around my whole life, tells me that so

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
