Natalia POV

"You marked me," I whisper in shock.

Victor pulls away from me and stares at me with his piercing blue eyes. "I thought..." he mutters quietly. "I thought that is what you wanted."

"It was," I try to sound excited. "It is."

"But..." Victor say with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"When Alexander sees this..." my voice waivers as I think about the punishment that I might receive. "He will punish me."

Cupping my face in his hands, Victor forces me to stare deeply into his eyes. "You are never going back to him ever again," he says with a stern look on his face. I try to avert my eyes from his relentless gaze but he squeezes my cheeks tightly. "Look at me," he demands, "you are never going back to him ever again. You belong to me. Do you trust me?"

"I do trust you," I tell him but even I cannot hear the conviction in my own voice.

Even though the water in the spring is hot my body begins to shiver as if I am cold. I pull my hands away from Victor and l

    Natalia POVI hold Violet tight in my arms as I try to drag her back into Esau's cottage. But she is much stronger than she looks. Lost in her sadness of watching her only sister disappear, she sits in the doorway of Esau's cottage reaching for the circle that her sister had just been dancing in. Tears stream down her face as she sobs heavily. Turning her face to Esau she has nothing but desperation in her eyes. "Please bring her back," she whispers as she sniffles through her tears. The amusement that was in Esau's eyes is now replaced with remorse. "I can't," he says as he extends a mossy hand to Violet. But Violet refuses to take his hand. Instead she covers her face with her hands and sobs gently. Sitting myself firmly on the ground I pull Violet in my arms and gently pet her mousy brown hair as she cries. "Violet," Victor begins, "I know she was your sister but this is probably for the best..."Gasping loudly I turn to Victor and glare at him. Violet tightens her gr

    Victor POVI know that I should be sleeping but I cannot seem to fall asleep. Natalia's chest is rising and falling delicately while she is snuggled deeply into my chest. Her arms are wrapped tightly around me as she sleeps. A soft whimper leaves her lips whenever I move to a different position. Quietly I chuckle at the pout on her pursed lips as she snuggles deeper into my chest. Wrapping my arms around her I pull her in closer and she inhales my scent as she relaxes in my arms. Holding my mate in my arms is everything that I have always wanted but I cannot help but fear what that means for the rogue camp. I brought the members of the rogue camp together because there is safety in numbers. Staying in a pack is keeping our wolves satisfied. We are not like the rogues that lurk around the edges of our camps. Many of them spend all of their time in their wolf form and are practically feral. We have created a community here, a community that Natalia's presence threatens. Ale

    Alexander POVThe sun peeks through my windows and my arms reach out to my sides only to find a cold bed beside me. Every morning I reach for Gloria even though I know that she isn't there. FlashbackThe morning sun rays awaken me from my slumber but the soft breathing of my mate on my chest lets me know that she is still sleeping. Softly I wrap my arms around her tiny body and give her a tight squeeze. I press my lips firmly to her forehead as she sleeps. Peering down at her dark eyelashes begin to flutter open as she awakens from her slumber. Her eyes open lazily and she peeks up at me through her lashes and gives me a seductive smile. "Good morning, My Prince," she says sweetly as she stretches her arms out to her sides before rolling off of me. "Tonight," I chuckle as I tackle her in her bed. "I will be your King." "Are you nervous?" She asks and I know exactly what she is speaking about. My prophecy. "What do I have to be worried about?" I brush off her question

    Natalia POVMy eyes are wide with shock as I stare at my mate. "What do you mean you all stay inside?" I am so confused I cannot think of anything else to say. Victor holds my hand in his own and traces small circles on the top of my hand. "We stay inside during the full moon because it isn't safe for us to go out," I still cannot wipe the confused look off my face as Victor tries to explain the traditions of the rogue camp."But if werewolves don't leave their houses how will they ever find their mates?" My head cocks to the side and I bat my eyelashes. "That's just it," Victor says with an air of frustration in his voice. "What if our mate is part of the Kingdom? Our wolves could take over and we could find ourselves in trouble with the King." Biting the inside of my bottom lip I consider the consequences of going outside on the full moon versus never being able to find your mate at all. "I still think it is silly," I fuss at Victor. "All of the guards are watching the L

    Alexander POVStraightening the front of my coat I button the top button and place my hands in my pockets. I nod my head to the two guards on either side of the massive castle doors and they open the doors. The scuffing of the wood against the stone floor sends a shiver down my spine and the loud creaking of the wood protests at being opened after all these weeks. The doors open to reveal a large balcony and a gathering of people down below. The murmurs of the crowd echo through the night air as I step to the edge of the balcony and place my hands on the stone railing. The buzz of the crowd turns into claps and cheers as their eyes land on me, their King. I raise my hand to quiet the crowd when I hear it. "Boo," someone yells out as the crowd quiets down. "Boo," their voice resonates loudly against the walls of the castle. A scowl crosses over my face and my eyes scan over the crowd to see where the sound is coming from. Soon another voice joins in and then another. Before

    Natalia POVVictor chases me from his house pulling on a pair of pants and shirt as he runs wildly through the rogue camp after me. I have already made up my mind that my first stop is to be with Violet. She could definitely use some cheering up and a party is just the way to do it. Plus, she knows more members of the rogue community than I do so if I can get her on my side, hopefully I can get the rest of the rogue camp on my side as well. Victor races to catch up with me just as Violet opens her door and greets me with a weak smile. It is clear that she is still mourning the loss of her sister. Peeking around at her one room cottage she has thrown her clothes and trash all over the floor, no longer caring what the state of her home looks like. Grabbing her by the arm I pull her from the cottage and give her a bright smile. "I need your help," I say as cheerfully as I possibly can. "Oh yeah," she says sadly. "What for?""We," I say pointing to her and myself, "are going t

    Natalia POV“Margaret?” Her name leaves my voice in no more than a whisper.She shuffles uncomfortably where she stands. “It’s me,” she says with sarcastic enthusiasm. “Oh my Goddess,” I breathe out as I pull her into a strong embrace. Stretching my arms out in front of me I hold her there, looking over her body, unable to believe that she is actually there. “I thought you were dead.” Tears threaten to stream down from my eyes I as hold her closely to me once again. “I should have never left you alone that night.”“You couldn’t have known what he is capable of,” Margaret says uncomfortably against my shoulder because I refuse to let her go. “I am sorry I did not tell you that I was leaving,” she pulls herself away from me as speaks. “I just couldn’t…”Pressing my fingers to her lips I refuse to let her say another word. “You did not know who you could trust,” I fill in the blanks for her. “That is completely understandable. Are you here to find your mate?” I ask curiously

    Victor POV After a long night of keeping watch on the border, it went exactly like Natalia said it would. None of the rogues tried to get into the Kingdom and only a few werewolves from the Kingdom filtered past the border. Their noses were stuck in the air, hunting down their mates. The sky is turning into a purplish hue indicating that the sun is slowly rising in the East. Letting out a loud sigh, I stretch my arms out to my sides and head back to the rogue camp to get some much needed sleep beside my mate. Jax is already purring gently in my head with excitement. Slowly I walk back to the rogue camp with Jax chattering loudly in my mind. He is complaining that he had to spend the full moon away from his mate because I did not trust her judgment. I have to admit that she was right. There was no threat from the Kingdom tonight. As I walk back towards the center of the rogue camp it is deserted. Everyone dispersed and went home after the night's festivities. Assuming tha

    Victor POV Three years later I can hear giggles coming from the kitchen and I just know that the boys are up to no good. "Ezra and Titus," I yell as I make my way into the kitchen. I look around the room and I don't see any sign of the boys. But Crystal and Margaret are unsuccessfully trying to hide the smirks that are on their lips. Standing in the middle of the kitchen with my hands on my hips I glare at my mate's two friends knowing that they are hiding the boys from me. "Where are they?" I ask Crystal and Margaret. "Who are you looking for?" Margaret says with a glint of humor twinkling in her eyes. "You know who," I say as I try to pretend to be angry. "The boys are supposed to be tidying their room." Suddenly a little blonde head pops up from behind the kitchen island and his blue eyes sparkle brightly as he looks at me. "Why do we have to tidy our room," Ezra says with a pout on his lips. Then a little brown head pops up from beside him. Every time I see h

    Natalia POVI slowly make my way back to our bedroom after the Blood Moon Ball. It was a glorious event and I was so happy to see how many members of our Kingdom found their mates. I spent most of the evening sitting on my throne with my feet propped up to minimize the swelling. Members of the Kingdom can up to me throughout the night to offer their congratulations and tell me how much happier everyone is in the Kingdom now that Alexander is gone. I have found that many of them are weary of Victor as well simply because he was Alexander's brother. But I assured them all that even though they may look the same they are definitely not the same. Just as Victor and I make it back to our bedroom room a pain shoots through my belly causing me to need to stop and take a breath. Victor is at my side in second. "What's wrong," he asks as he lays his hand on my stomach causing the twins to twist and turn crazily in my stomach.Just as suddenly as the pain came it went away. Standing i

    Natalia POVTrying to be as graceful as possible, I waddle my way through the castle to the great throne room. Nicole stays by my side as I walk slowly offering me support whenever I get overly winded from hauling around this large belly. Once we get to the large double doors that lead to the throne room, Nicole gives me a swift kiss on the cheek before she runs off to take her place among the crowd. Even though I have dreamed of this moment ever since the day that I found out about the prophecy, nothing can compare to how I feel right now. The trumpets that surround the room blast loudly, announcing my arrival. Everyone in the crowd turns to look at me. A large lump forms in my throat as I look into all of their anxious eyes. Swallowing down the lump I force my feet to move one foot in front of the other down the aisle. Members of the crowd are reaching through the barriers that are holding them back for my safety. I cannot help but reach out and touch the tips of their fin

    Natalia POVEverything hurts. My back. My feet. Everything. Laying on my back on Victor and I's bed I stare up at the ceiling trying to will myself to get out of the bed. I hear the door to our bedroom open but I do not have the energy to look over and see who is standing in the room, but the scent of citrus and pine fills the air and I know that it is my mate. "I cannot believe you are still in this bed," Victor says with a bit of humor in his voice. I try to look at him over my ever growing belly but instead I just flop my head back on my pillow. "You try carrying these pups," I mutter under my breath. I feel the edge of the bed dip down beside me. Victor places his huge hand on my belly causing the tingles from the mate bond to spread over my skin and the pups in my belly to go wild. One of the pups kicks my bladder and I suddenly have to pee. "Ugh," I groan as I try to right myself in the bed. "Now I have to use the bathroom." Victor chuckles to himself as I attem

    Natalia POVI look at King Lignum’s outstretched hand and hesitate a moment. “I am not making a deal with you,” I make myself clear. “I will find a way to prove myself to the Werewolf Council without your aid.” “I have already told you,” he says sweetly. “This is not a deal. This is a favor with no strings attached.” “No strings attached,” I repeat after him and lay my hand in his. Without even realizing what is happening I am being pulled through what feels like a vacuum. Images are rushing past me at the speed of light. Closing my eyes tightly, I try not to vomit as we move quickly between the Realms. As suddenly as it started it stops and the sounds of growls fill the air around me.My eyes fly open and I can see that we have landed in the center of the Council’s chambers. Holding onto King Lignum’s hand for support I try to steady myself after the journey that I just had. My eyes dart around the large conference room and I can see that all of the elders are looking

    Natalia POVI can hear the sound of someone banging on Esau's door as I step through the portal to the Fae Realm. I look back over my shoulder and see Victor barreling through Esau's front door as the portal closes quickly behind me. Esau is chuckling loudly beside me as he watches Victor try and get to the portal in time and fail. "He's going to be so pissed," Esau laughs hardily. My lips pucker in confusion as I look at Esau, "why would he be pissed?" "Because this is the second time that I have slipped you into the Fae Realm right under his nose," Esau says with a bright smile spread across his mossy face. Rolling my eyes at him and I smack him in the shoulder, but I cannot help but smirk. "He did look pretty angry." "He will find a way to pay me back," Esau sighs a little as he grabs my hand. I let him pull me along as we follow the trail back towards the Castle Flos. We walk together in a comfortable silence as we head towards the castle. I keep the book clutched

    Natalia POVThe huge metal double doors that lead to the royal balcony open up with a creak. The sight of the balcony causes panic to rise in my chest. The last time I was out here I killed a man and started a war. My breathing becomes erratic as Victor tries to lead me out onto the balcony. Pulling on my arm Victor tries to guide me outside but my feet don't move. "I can't," I whisper to Victor with fear in my eyes. Pausing for a moment, Victor studies my eyes for a moment and then places a gentle kiss on my forehead. "You can do anything," he whispers to me sweetly. "You are the one true Queen." He looks at me with such confidence that I cannot help but take a deep breath and take a few steps forward. Victor tightens his arm around my waist and slowly guides me out onto the balcony. The night air is chilly as it nips at my bare arms causing me to shiver in Victor's arms. Victor guides me to the railing of the balcony and I hear thunderous cheers from the crowd down bel

    Natalia POV"How long have you known?" Victor growls and looks at me with intensity in his eyes. Swinging my legs over the other side of the bed. I walk away from him. Refusing to meet his lingering gaze. Walking over to my wardrobe I finger through the dresses one by one, pretending like I am considering what to wear. Victor walks up behind me, placing his nose in the crook of my neck, he inhales deeply. Before I realize what is happening he has dropped to his knees and is sniffing my stomach, holding me in place by my hips. "Victor," I say as I try to fight him off. "Stop. This is embarrassing." "Is it mine?" He asks as he fearfully looks up into my eyes. Scoffing at his question, I rip his hands from my waist. "How dare you ask me that?" Adeline is pushing forward in anger and I know that my eyes are swirling from green to silver. Grabbing one of the dresses from the wardrobe I storm off into the bathroom that adjoins my room and slam the door. Once I am alone, I b

    Natalia POVLocked in my room. LOCKED IN MY ROOM. Victor had me locked in my room for killing his brother. A plan that I thought he and I devised together, but I guess I was wrong. I killed a man that tormented me through not one lifetime but two and I am being punished. He stopped by my room earlier today to tell me it is only until the Council of Elders decides whether or not I am a risk to the Kingdom or not. I did not react so kindly and slapped him across his face. The only peace that I have is knowing that I carry the heir to the throne. Laying on my back in just my opened robe, I look at my stomach in wonder. My once flat stomach now has a tiny bulge just below my belly button. Placing my hand on my lower abdomen I can feel the little flutters of movement coming from within. Even though I am stuck in this room I am not alone, I think to myself. A knock on my door drags me from my thoughts. Closing the robe around my body I don't bother to get up from the position
