The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard. Close The Academy
[Serenity’s POV]I watch with wide eyes as my father turns and rushes to my mom’s side, shifting back into his human form. He picks her up and heads toward the school. It is only when he is out of sight that I turn my gaze to Maverick, who remains stunned.‘Hey,’ I call through mindlink, trying to draw his attention only for him to seem to not hear me. ‘Maverick.’I repeat this call a few more times, but he doesn’t seem to move. Realizing that he is too shocked by what happened to focus on anything, I shift into my human form and rush to his side.“Maverick!” I gasp, grabbing him and shaking. “Hey, snap out of it, Maverick!”“Serenity,” he whispers, blinking a few times. “I’m…”He doesn’t finish his words as Uncle William comes and drops down beside us, throwing a jacket over me and then pulling Maverick into a sitting position.“Are the two of you okay?” He asks, beginning to examine us. “Did you get hurt? Why the hell are you out here?”“We were attacked,” I sigh, feeling a sudden w

[Serenity’s POV]The next day, I stand in my room, staring at my open suitcase and the clothes that I have already packed in it. It was still surreal to think that after being open for so many years, this place was actually closing its doors, and it was all my fault.Plopping down on the ground, I bury my face in my hands, cursing the ominous mark that marred my skin and what followed behind it. If only I wasn’t born with this, then this wouldn’t be happening.‘Wouldn’t it?’ Mahogany huffs. ‘Even if it wasn’t you, it would be someone else. But since it was you who was chosen, you shouldn’t sit here and play the pity card.’‘Shut up.’ I snap, bristling. ‘No one asked for your opinion.’It wasn’t only the fact that I was responsible for The Academy closing that I was upset, it was also the trouble that I was bringing those around me, Maverick included.It was because I was so stubborn and danger prone that he felt like a complete failure. Even if he did everything he could, there was no
Last Updated : 2024-09-06The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard. His Plot
[Maverick’s POV]I look from Rosco to Serenity and back, feeling the tension growing more and more between the two while knowing that neither was going to get anywhere. Like father, like daughter, that was for certain.“Come on,” I murmur, gently grabbing Serenity’s hand only to release it as a growl of warning escapes Rosco. “What?”“What do you think you’re doing?” He asks, narrowing his gaze on me. “Who gave you permission to touch my daughter?”“She’s my mate,” I say, remembering that we were putting on an act. “Isn’t it only proper that I try to comfort her?”As I speak, Serenity reaches out and wraps her slender fingers around mine, being defiant against her father in the only way she currently can.“We need to finish packing.” She says, giving me a gentle tug. “If you’ll excuse us.”She doesn’t wait for Rosco to respond before she begins to pull me away, and when Rosco lets out a snarl, I hear Denali say something to immediately calm him, stopping him from saying anything more

[Elise’s POV]The first alpha of Emerald Moon. How was it possible that he was that man? Didn’t that one go crazy and kill his entire pack? But from the visions I had til this point and the clues that the members of his pack were actually the rogues were right there.“How?” I hiss, trying to make sense of what this man was saying. “Why?”“All will be revealed,” he promises me, clutching the bars of mine and Forrest’s cell. “But first, I should punish my men for treating you so poorly.”Frowning, I eye Ezekial, trying to make sense of what he was saying and how he was acting. What was this about punishment? And for what? For putting a prisoner where a prisoner belonged?“Do you have split personalities?” I ask, unable to keep my cool. “First you capture me and drag me back to wherever the hell this is, and now you’re saying that your men treated me poorly by putting me in this cell.”At my words, a loud laugh escapes Ezekial, one that echoes around us, causing my insides to churn with

[Elise’s POV]Later, I sit at a large table that is covered in mouthwatering food, dressed in a floor length black gown that hugs my curves perfectly, but I can’t quite seem to find it in me to have an appetite. I mean, how could I when my partner for the evening was a psychopath who was hell bent on destroying the world?“Something wrong?” The man in question asks, eyeing me over his goblet of wine. “Don’t worry, nothing has been poisoned.”“If only that was the issue.” I mutter as Ezekial’s gaze narrows.“You’re way too tense, my dear.” He says, snapping his fingers so a man dressed in a butler's outfit rushes forward. “Please pour our guest something to drink.”Nodding, the man comes to stand beside me, and once he is in place, he grabs the chilled bottle of wine that sits between Ezekial and me and then begins to pour it into my glass.“Maybe a drink will help,” Ezekiel says as the butler steps back.“Uh...” I say, eyeing it and wishing like hell I could just down it. “I’m underag
Last Updated : 2024-09-12The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard. New Moon
[Serenity’s POV]We arrive in New Moon by mid-afternoon, and by the time I climb out of Uncle William’s car, I am buzzing with adrenaline. I felt almost like a criminal going against what my father told me. But there was something that was bothering me and making me uneasy. And that something was the woman climbing out of the car after me.Frowning, I watch as Uncle William quickly moves to help her as she stumbles slightly.“Who is she really?” I murmur, watching her lean into Uncle William, who doesn’t seem bothered at all.“You look like you want to kill.” Maverick whispers, causing a shiver to rush through me from his breath tickling my ear. “Might want to straighten that face.”Turning, I prepare to respond, but stop as I realize just how close he truly is and how our noses almost brush.“Personal space.” I mutter, though I actually wish that he was even closer. “Especially in front of the warden.”“Don’t mind me.” Uncle William chuckles, causing me to blush. “But try to avoid su
Last Updated : 2024-09-13The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard. Their Family History
[Maverick’s POV]My eyes widen at Jose’s words, but in a way we should have realized sooner given how close Ellie looks to Denali and even Serenity.“Are you saying she was the first Luna of Emerald Moon?” I ask slowly.“Not hardly,” Jose spits, his expression darkening. “She was forced to go there just like Serenity’s grandmother.” He continues, turning his gaze to Serenity. “And even then she wasn’t put in the place of Luna; instead, the first alpha of Emerald Moon made another his Luna.”Frowning, I consider the words I am hearing as two and two begin to come together.“That means,” I say quietly, drawing everyone’s gaze to me. “I was a member of Emerald Moon’s original pack as well.”“Most likely,” Jose says, his face taking on a look of pity. “There may be a way to confirm.”“What’s that?” William asks, breaking the silence that falls around us. “Do you have a time machine?”“Something like that.” Jose chuckles, turning toward New Moon and motioning for us to follow him.Once ins
Last Updated : 2024-09-14The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard. Reassure Her
[Serenity’s POV]“Uncle Jose,” I announce, not wanting to hear what he is saying. “There’s something that isn’t making sense to me.”Although he had answered a lot of questions about our family’s history, it left me uneasy. Extremely uneasy.“What is that?” Uncle Jose asks, smiling.“If what you’ve said is true and Ellie is your great-great-grandmother, then why does she look like my mother and aunt Elise?”From what we were told, Ellie was an ancestor of my father, not my mother, but she favored my mother and aunt. How did that make any sense?“That,” Uncle Jose chuckles, giving me a mischievous grin. “What if I told you that her twin sister became Luna of Emerald Moon after she disappeared?”“What?” I gasp, eyes widening. “Then doesn’t that mean that my parents... They’re…”At my words, a burst of laughter escapes Uncle Jose’s lips, but I can’t seem to find anything funny about what is happening.“Jose,” Uncle William hisses, anger flashing in his eyes. “What the hell is wrong with

The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard. The Night Before Battle
[Serenity’s POV]“Do you think Uncle William is okay?”I stare up into Maverick’s dark eyes while his arms tighten around me, pulling me closer to try to comfort the anxiety that I’m feeling.Two days had already passed since Uncle William went back to Crystal Fang, and even though there was no word on how he was, there was also no word that something happened, which in the end was a good sign, but I just couldn’t seem to calm down no matter how many times I told myself that everything was going to be okay.Was this feeling of foreboding only because of Uncle William, or did it also include the battle that we would be heading out for tomorrow?Of course, I have full faith in my pack, my family, and my family’s packs, but I was still nervous because the thought of losing even a single person was eating away at me, especially since I was the reason all of this was happening.“Hey,” Maverick murmurs, gently grabbing my chin and making me look at him. “Listen to me.”“Mmmmm.”Where he tou
The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard. A Prisoner
[William’s POV]I stare at Lydia, my gaze narrowing as I take in what it is that she is saying. I wasn’t sure if she thought that I was so easy to fool or if she really went crazy, but I wasn’t in the mood to deal with her shit.“You know there is no way that is impossible.” I say, ignoring my anger over her even suggesting such a ridiculous thing. “If you’re worried about not having anywhere to go once you leave here, you don’t have to worry about that. I will continue to support you as I promised, but you will no longer be able to stay beside me as you have until this point.”“You can’t be serious.” Lydia says, her eyes widening. “You’re going to send me away even though you know that I’m pregnant?”“You’re not pregnant.” I snap. “I took all precautions to ensure that didn’t happen.”“Nothing is a hundred percent.” She points out. “If you don’t believe me, then shall I have an examination?”“Have it,” I shrug. “Even if you are pregnant, I wasn’t the one who did it. Now, if you’re do
The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard. Her Announcement
[William’s POV]I give Serenity and Maverick a final look before turning and peeking at Elise, who is curled up in bed with the blanket wrapped so tightly around her you would think she considers it the only thing protecting her from what is happening around her.“Why does this feel like goodbye?” Serenity asks, drawing my attention back to her. “I don’t like it.”“Don’t worry,” I chuckle, ruffling her hair. “I promise that I’ll be back, after all…”After all, wherever Elise is is where I will be. There was no way that I was going to let her out of my sight now that she was here with me. Of course, I knew that our relationship could never be what it once was given our current standing, but I could still be her support as she navigated the trenches of whatever life she decided to lead.“Now,” I continue, gently shutting the bedroom door behind me. “You and Maverick should take advantage of the time you have left before we leave.”“Okay,” she says quietly, but from her gaze, I know that
The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard. His Plan
[Serenity’s POV]I sit with Maverick outside of Uncle William’s room, listening quietly to what is being said inside. Although I don’t necessarily think it is such a good idea to overwhelm Aunt Elise with her backstory, I can’t help but hope that maybe, somehow, it will bring her memories back to her. But even if those returned, what would come of Eleanor’s memories before Aunt Elise awoke? Would they somehow be there, or was the Eleanor of the past be gone forever?“What is it?” Maverick asks me, snapping me out of my head. “You’ve got a pretty big crease between your brows.”“I was just thinking,” I say quietly. “What it must feel like to be devoid of everything.”The words leave me before I even realize what I’m saying and to whom, and when I realize what I’m doing, my eyes widen, and I snap my gaze to Maverick, only to find that he is giving me a gentle look.“I’m sorry,” I hiss, feeling like I just shoved my foot into my mouth. “I didn’t…”“It’s fine,” he assures me, his large ha
The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard. Who She Was
[William’s POV]Shock rushes through me as Elise works to cover her body, and I realize that she is getting the wrong idea about me. Shit. How could I even think of me ogling her body? Did I look like that much of a damn creepy old man?“No one cares about your body.” I huff, heading to the dresser and grabbing a shirt and shorts. “Don’t get the wrong idea here.”Turning, I toss the clothes at Elise and then wait as sounds of movement reach me.“I didn’t think this needed to be said.” I say now, crossing my arms. “But you’re a student, and I’m your principal. That is all that is going on between us. Understand?”For a moment, Elise doesn’t say anything, and I truly wonder if she is second guessing what I’ve said, but when a hand touches my shoulder, I turn and find that her large eyes are taking me in with so many questions.“What?” I ask now, keeping my expression straight. “What is it?”“I saw,” she says quietly, then stops as if questioning whatever it was that she was claiming. “I
The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard. His Adoration
[Elise’s POV]I find myself standing in the middle of a large room that smells of blood and death. Laying in the middle of the floor is a pile of dead bodies, and sitting on his throne of death behind them is the one I am certain is responsible for it. And the minute I accidentally touched one of the dead, I saw what happened and how this man was the one who insisted that it happen. He was the one that told them to fight against one another and the reason that they were like this, but despite that, he wore such a smile on his face like he was an angel.“You’ve returned.” He says to me, his dark eyes glowing with triumph. “I knew you wouldn’t be able to stay away.”His voice is like a beautiful siren’s call that draws me closer despite what I’m seeing. I want to obey this man and do everything that he wants of me. That’s why, when I reach his feet, I bow and wait until his large hand comes to rest on my head so that he can rub my fur.The way his fingers brushed along me felt amazing,
The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard. The Light
[Elise’s POV]I’m in darkness. It is a suffocating darkness—a painful darkness that consumes me and surrounds me. It’s like being trapped in thorny vines that rip at my body again and again, slowly shredding my skin while it heals over and over.There is a voice in this darkness, my only companion as I move about trying to find something or someone who can help relieve me from this pain and free me from the darkness that has become my entire world.The voice is deep, one that belongs to a man, and when it speaks, everything in me screams to go along with it, but I don’t. I’m not sure why, but I know that I can’t go to that person because if I do then everything will be over. I don’t know why I feel this way, but I do, so instead of obeying it, I continue to move.How long have I been traveling? How many days? How many nights? I don’t know because they all blur together. I only stop long enough to eat and sleep, then I’m up and moving once more toward... I don’t know what. I only know
The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard. Her Appearance
[Maverick’s POV]Later, I lay in bed while Serenity sleeps soundly beside me. The sun is slowly starting to trickle through the window to our right, but I find myself wishing that it would stop and that this single moment of pure bliss would last forever. However, I’m more than aware that isn’t possible.Sighing, I roll over and kiss Serenity’s forehead, causing her to stir, and when her beautiful eyes open and take me in, I fight the urge to jump her.“Morning.” She yawns, giving me an enchanting smile. “What time is it?”I don’t respond as I take in the lovely creature beside me, and when it all becomes too much, I’m pouncing.“Maverick!” She gasps, but wraps her arms around me. “What’s gotten into you?”“You,” I respond, nipping at her neck. “Just the sight of you drives me absolutely crazy.”“Well, that’s going to be a problem.”I don’t argue with her words, as I realize that she is right. It really was going to be a problem, but it was a problem that I was willing to deal with li
The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard. A World Of Their Own
[Maverick’s POV]My tongue glides along Serenity’s clit, cleaning off any juices that linger there and then repeating this action again and again while she makes delicious noises that drive me absolutely crazy. Who knew that I would end up craving this, her noises, her taste, the way her body shivers as I make it feel good, and the energy that thrums between us? It was like nothing I knew; not even the joy of a hunt or battle could make me feel this alive.“Maverick,” she whispers, snapping me out of my head. “I’m going to...”“Cum for me, Serenity,” I murmur, shoving my tongue into her core. “I want to taste you on my lips and tongue.”At my words, her body tenses and then arches as a beautiful moan escapes her parted lips while an intense orgasm begins to rush through her. I have to admit, it is one of the most beautiful things that I have ever seen, but I wanted to see even more.“Mav-Maverick,” she whimpers while I continue my attack, not caring if she has already cum for the firs
