Brielle

My babies ran towards me the minute I came back in, complaining about their hair and I made in a lie. I may or may not have lied against their old nanny.

Sue me. I’m here against my will.

I finally got them to calm down and tutored them, and a knock sounded on my door.

“Who’s that mummy? Is that the monster?” Rachel asked and she and her siblings chuckled like they had a secret.

I rose a brow at them before turning to the door.

“Who is it?” I questioned, heading to the door.

I opened the door to see a maid, with three gadget boxes and a wide grin spread across my lips.

“From his highness.” She announced as she placed them in my eager hands.

Finally. I would be able to communicate with James.

I rushed into the room and my curious kids followed behind me.

“What’s that mum? Is that a tablet?”

“A tablet! Can I play with it mum?”

“No me first!”

I left them to argue who gets to not touch my tablet because I couldn’t risk getting it damaged since I wasn’t free to replace it if it go

    Zadyre I finished the last of the paperwork. Doing all of this work alone, was a task that was as trying as it was difficult. Sebastian was useless, as my beta and I rather chew on stones than to allow his grimy hands anywhere near affairs that cause the kingdom to operate well. Another person who could help was Brielle, but I know the last thing she wanted was to be comfortable in this pack. So I had to do it alone. The door opened and in strode Claudia, my maid and sex partner. She gave me the innocent doe eyed look and I refrained from rolling my eyes as she waited at the door for me to command her in. I wanted something different. Claudia had been my partner for few years, although secret, and I was getting tired of the same old things she let me do. I needed fire, some spark. Brielle. My wolf whispered and I growled, pushing him behind my mind. The plan I drafted out with Brielle was one I didn’t think through, and it was just a placeholder. The main plan

    BrielleMy face flamed hot at the sight of Zadyre pounding into that female. It was so erotic, so raw. I couldn’t look away.As I saw the smirk on his face, all my irritation and disgust came flooding back, but I couldn’t control my wolf from going feral from want and anger.Anger that he’s with another female, the want and need to be under him that way.Two things I should never ever feel since my heart belonged to James.But James has never made you horny like this. My wolf whispered and I stopped myself in my tracks.That was an unfair thing to say. At least James treats me right. Fuck sex. I blocked her and opened the door to the room.The main reason I walked into Zadyre’s room was to ask him if he wanted to join us for dinner since my kids kept asking of him, but I was met with that sight.The sight that kept replaying in my mind and causing me to yearn for him, when I shouldn’t.I closed the door softly, pulled down my jeans and laid on the bed. My fingers slowly trailed on my

    BrielleThe words floated in the air for a second, my heart storming wildly in my chest as I looked into his eyes, feigning confidence despite my nervousness at what he was going to say.I wasn’t one to cut off a bet or quit, but the chances didn’t look good for me. Yesterday repulsed me. I didn’t want to care that he was in another female, hell, James has been in me more times than I can count, and I do not care about Zadyre, but instead of feeling intense hatred…I wanted, no, my body wanted to replace her, and I don’t remember the last time I felt that needy.I couldn’t survive the bet, and I never want to be put in a position where I would betray James, not after everything we’ve been true.I owed him that much after he dropped everything for me and the kids that aren’t even his.A moment passed, and it was only the Rhythmic beating of my heart that floated across the air.Until he said, “Okay.”I did a double take at him, my mouth dropping open.“Wait, okay?”Zadyre just agreed t

    Brielle“Stay still Brielle, you are only going to make it worse.” Zadyre grunted as he tried to pry my ankle from the rotting wood, while a strangled cry left my lips as pain shot through it, the consequences of my actions.How did a stroll in the park with the man I hate the most, and three little reasons I smile everyday, turn into this shameful experience you may ask?Well, the stroll was going horrible, for me. It was wonderful for the triplets as they saw different things and experiences they didn’t witness in the human world because we were hiding from the same asshole who showed them, and they looked at him with so much adoration it caused my stomach to turn with jealousy.So as a normal mother would do, I tried to direct their attention to me, but they were busy being impressed by all the cool sites that Zadyre showed them. And it annoyed me.So I did what everyone mother would do in my situation.“Hey babies, do you want to see lake just beyond this bridge?”I pointed to the

A guard ran up to me with fear in his eyes. “Your highness, the beta and his woman are threatening to riot against your command-“A growl left my lips as I held him by the neck. He shivered in my hold as he gasped for breath.“Tell them to do as I fucking say!” I pushed him away and he scrambled to the direction of their room.Damon chuckled as he saw me growl and tighten my hands into fist. “That’s the Zadyre I know. He doesn’t let anyone turn him into a wuss.”I rolled my neck as we stepped out of the palace, and I ordered a guard to ensure no one lets the prisoner out.I had to get answers today.After a while we arrived at the cabin, and we headed to the room where they were placed.Rachel was still shivering in

Why are the guards man handling your brother in the hall?”Orlando stormed into the chamber room, as I sat on my throne in front of the members of the council.I called an emergency meeting because I had a death appointment in few hours, and I wasn’t going without making sure Sebastian and Lydia pay for what they have been doing.This time, they slipped up.They’ve been careful all along, from when they staged all those attacks to now, well except the last one. They covered their tracks really well. But they forgot that this time, I was desperate to pin it down on them. I was ahead because I knew it was just a matter of time before my brother would try to take the throne again. And just like I predicted, he did. When I set up the guards around the park, I made sure to compel them with the use of a witch to kill themselves if there was an intruder or an outsider allowed into the park without my specific orders. None were dead, which meant the intruder c

    DamonThe sounds around me suddenly went silent. I could do no other thing than panic as we walked outside and I set my eyes on Amelia that was in the pool of her own blood. Her hand trembled over her stomach and her dress was soaked with her own blood. My chest tightened and it felt like I was being stabbed over and over again in my heart. For the first time in decades, fear consumed me. Not just fear- terror.Brielle ran to her and started talking to her but I didn’t hear anything, I walked to her and I dropped to my knees beside her, ignoring the roar of the battle continuing behind me.“Amelia!” My voice cracked, raw and desperate. Her lashes fluttered weakly, her breath shallow. Her usually fiery eyes, the ones that taunted and challenged me endlessly, were glassy and unfocused.I pressed my hands to the wound, my fingers slick with her blood. “You’re not leaving me. Do you hear me?” My voice was a growl now, a plea wrapped in steel. I could feel her slipping, her life force dimm

    AmeliaIt was the day of the wedding and we were finally out of captivity. Damon and I had tried to escape but it was futile. Later on, Sebastian had come to our rescue and even if we were weary at first we decided to trust him. The palace was in chaos as everyone prepared for the wedding. Sebastian had told us of his plan already and I was ready for how the day was going to turn out. Maids and guards were going back and forth as they prepare the hall for the wedding, they didn’t want to be on the receiving end of Orlando’s fury. I avoided Damon most of the morning, finding excuses to busy myself with Brielle.But even amidst the turmoil, my thoughts were elsewhere.I was pregnant. I had found out earlier that morning and I hadn’t been able to process things well since then. I hadn’t told anyone- not even said the words out loud to myself. I felt like saying it would make it more real and I wasn’t sure I wanted to accept the truth. I placed a hand over my stomach and let out a shak

    AmeliaThe days at the resort passed in an awkward, suffocating blur. Damon’s rejection echoed in my mind, a relentless loop of words that stung more than I cared to admit. I tried my best to stay out of his way and pretended like the pull of the bond that was dragging me to him was nonexistent. I avoided him as best as I could, but we were staying the same room and tension was thick and suffocating. Every time my eyes fell on him, I would feel my hear ache- it was longing for his love and touch but I knew it was something I couldn’t get- something I would never get. I buried myself in helping Brielle and Zadyre with their problems. It was easier to focus on them than to face my own mess. Brielle had enough to deal with without me adding my drama to the mix, so I kept my distance and my mouth shut.When we returned to the pack, the air felt different. Heavier. Maybe it was just me, carrying the weight of the unspoken bond between Damon and me. Or maybe it was the way the pack still

    DamonThe discussion I had with Zadyre earlier played over and over again in my head as I drove through the road, holding on to the steering wheel tightly. “You know you’re the only I trust and know can do this, Damon,” he had said in a very serious tone. “The border spell will keep us safe, but it has to be precise. If it falters, Sebastian and his allies could find us before we’re ready.”“I know it’s an easy task,” I had replied him as I shrugged it off. But Zadyre’s expression had told me this wasn’t like the other times.“And,” he continued, glancing at Brielle and the kids in the distance, “I need you to keep Amelia in line. She can be of help.”I’d raised an eyebrow at that. “Of help? Sounds like a handful.”“Just take her with you,” Zadyre muttered, his gaze darkening. “She’s loyal and she can keep an eye on you. She can even help you.”Now, as Amelia sat in the passenger seat beside me, her arms crossed and her glare cutting through the silence, I wondered if Zadyre had unde

    A sneak peak to Damon’s point of view of when he first met AmeliaDamon’s POVThe drive back to Brielle’s location was tense, filled with an unspoken urgency. Zadyre was silent in the passenger seat, his gaze fixed on the horizon. He hadn’t said much since I convinced him to come back and get her. Convincing him hadn’t been easy; his stubbornness was unmatched, and his pride even more so. But I couldn’t let him leave her behind.“She’s your mate, Zadyre,” I’d told him earlier, my tone sharp. “You can’t just abandon her. You’ve been through hell, and so has she. The least you can do is protect her.”He’d gritted his teeth, jaw tight, before muttering something about her safety being more important than his presence. But I knew better. Their bond was very strong and undeniable, no matter how much he tried to pretend he wasn’t drawn towards her or needed her. As we got closer to the house where Brielle was supposedly at, I could feel Zadyre’s body tensing up. It was radiating off him li

    The End… Or the Beginning? BrielleDays have passed and everything had for back to the way they always were. It was morning and after breakfast, we decided to take the kids outside. The pack lands were now more beautiful after we had gotten rid of every evil that plagued it. There trees were lush, the rivers clear, the people happy and the air was filled with the smell of the beautiful and blooming flowers. It was like Mother Nature was happy that we were healing from the past so so she was helping to hasten the process. Nikki and Micah were running in front of us as they chased each other though the garden with their laugh echoing across the beautiful sky. Rachael was walking in front of us too both not as playfully as her brothers, she had always been much calmer and smarter than them. Zadyre and I walked behind them while holding hands and letting the peacefulness of the park and the air wash past us. It felt surreal, this calm after the storm.“You know,” I began, my voice sof

    BrielleImmediately Orlando fell to the ground in the hall and lost his life, I felt a surge of energy burst through from him and enter into me. It felt like something that I didn’t know was missing from my body finally came into place and I felt that wild energy course through me though it was tamer than before. It was overwhelming and terrifying all at once but I soon relaxed my body and the tension left as I welcomed it. My powers. They were back.I gasped as the strength and connection to my wolf rushed through my veins, stronger than ever. It was like breathing again after years of suffocation. It was too late to save devastation as he had breathed his last so I rushed over to Zadyre that was still battered and bloody, his wounds had not healed at all and I could see the life slipping out of him gradually. His breathing was unsteady and shallow and his chest rose and fell but it was faint. “Zadyre!” I cried as I moved closer to him. I didn’t know where to touch him, I didn’t kno

    Sebastian I could feel myself losing a lot of blood and my life slipping away, my body was aching a lot and even breathing was painful. Everything became blurry but I tried so hard to stay awake and alive, I had something to say to Zadyre and I wouldn’t die without telling him what I had in mind. I turned my head to the direction where Zadyre laid motionless with Brielle by his side. His body was battered and covered in blood and regret washed over me. I had done this, how had we gotten here?I let out a shaky breathe as different mentors from the past came flooding into my mind- memories of my anger, my acting out and of me being wicked. I had hated Zadyre and did a lot of bad things to him because I had thought he was the reason we were orphans but I was wrong and I knew the truth now. And as I slowly but surely lost my life, I needed to let him know and I couldn’t die without his forgiveness. Brielle was crying and I could she was torn between staying with Zadyre and coming to c

    Brielle“Zadyre!” I called, and he glanced back at me just long enough to understand what I was about to do but Orlando must have noticed that we were silently communicating because when I moved closer to him, he turned his attention away from Zadyre and punched me. “Brielle!” Zadyre yelled but he couldn’t stop Orlando or get to me. The force from Orlando’s punch had me being flown across the room like a rag doll. My body hit the stone wall with a loud thud and I fell to the ground, the stone I had held and watched to use on Orlando had lodged itself against my chest and I had an open would. Every breathe I took felt like I was being stabbed in the lungs over and over again but I couldn’t be weak or just stay there, I had to do something to help Zadyre. My vision started becoming blurry and I tried to sit up but it was hard. I managed to get the stone out of my body and my eyes glanced to the side where Damon and Sebastian were engaged in a serious fight with Lydia. She was a storm
