The cool tiled ground is the only thing that can leeche the pain and aches from my body as I lie as still as I can. Adriana stopped keeping track of how long it has been, and I’ve stopped noticing the rising and the falling of the sun. Each one just brings more torture and suffering for not only me but Adriana, whom they have taken to using against me.
She lies on her back, just out of reach of me, her chest rising and falling in the dim moonlight. I try to convince my arm to reach out and check on her, but they no longer respond to my commands. They have long been numb and useless. It took Angus’ science team a long time to stock up their stolen supply of the poison they used on me when I first arrived.
Today was the second time they shot me up with dose after dose trying to force the Ultima out. I would explain to them they are wasting their efforts, that the Ultima only awakens on the blue moon, but they don’t seem

*Maggie* Billy grumbles next to me as he stokes the fire, trying to avoid the gaze of Beatrice. He is less than thrilled to have found himself mated not only to a wolf but one who is younger by several years and seemingly a little more clingy. Beatrice had stitched him up and cared for him for the past week, but he hilariously seems to be afraid of her. Billy forces her to maintain a certain distance from him at all times as he tries to decide what he wants to do about being mated when he was resolved to never mate at all. I can understand his reservations, though. When Axel explained the mate bond to me, it was frightening. From an outside view, it sounds like love if forced. I would say that is akin to an arranged marriage. You are destined to be with this person you do not know and know nothing about and you have no say in the matter. The only difference is that love almost always soon follows if it does not precede

It’s easy to forget just how stunning nature is when you are in it or lost in your head. When I am lost in thought, it’s like everything fades to gray and dulls so that my thoughts can take precedence. For weeks I have gone without smelling the forest while literally being in the middle of the forest. I was taking it for granted, just like I did with Axel. Why is it that knowledge always comes after a hard lesson? Life would be so much more manageable if we received it before we ventured out to do our own thing. Then again, it’s said that we learn our most valuable lessons from our mistakes. If that’s the case, I should be so full of knowledge by now that I could become someone’s advisor. The only problem is that I don’t seem to be a quick learner, no matter the subject. Liam walks ahead of me, looking back to ensure I’m following every now and again. Though I know he isn’t actually worried about me taking off. He trusts the mate bond tha

*Axel* The smell of the mushed meat makes my stomach churn. No longer does food look or sound good. My feedings that once were sporadic have become more frequent and better quality. Not that prison food ever tastes or smells good, but it’s better than the literal wet dog food they have been trying to force-feed me for days. They removed Adrianna from my cell over a week ago now, so long gone are the days of her sparing me the occasional roll. The torture stopped the day they started bringing me food. It should be enough to make me wonder what their plan is, but I’m no idiot. The blue moon is coming. I can feel it buzzing in the back of my mind. My strength wants to afford me comfort, but my lack of nourishing food keeps it tucked away. The ultima will need it to surface when it’s time for him to take over. The days and the nights blend as I spend most of my time asleep. My body needs to heal. With all the silver and wolfsbane in this room, it seem

*Maggie*“I apologize in advance,” Liam says grimacing as he balls his fist up.“Yeah, I’m sure you feel so bad,” I mutter, getting into a defensive position. “Can’t we just say I healed really fast?”“You don’t expect him to believe that you only tried to get away once, do you?” Liam says, raising a brow.I know he is right. He seems to be pretty knowledgeable about these things. Maybe it’s something he learned in his past, or perhaps he is just smarter than me. Either way, I put my hands up and ready my mind. I wanted to just let him hit me a few times and call it good, but he refused that. Something about hitting a woman rubbed him the wrong way.“Fine, let’s get this over with.” I groan.“Maggie, make sure you pay attention to my steps, my moves. You might as well try to pick up some fighting skills. We can conside

I have seen packs before, the mini-cities they create surrounding themselves to keep a secure border or barrier between them and the human world. Always far enough away from the accidental human who might trapeze across their lands unknowingly but close enough to be able to import and export products as needed.It all makes sense, the distance, and the secrecy. I had grown up not knowing a single thing about the packs that clearly surrounded me. Humans and werewolves were never intended to live together. It seems unnatural and unlikely that such powerful beings have a desire to not lord over the weak and meek humans. By keeping them separate, they are protecting the humans and their young children.Yet this pack, this pack, is different. The city is run down. Humans mingle with wolves and vice versa. On closer inspection, everyone looks different. Some look sickly and thin, while others look soulless and angry. This pack is beyond broken an

*Axel*The door closes behind me, but I am too exhausted to even turn to see who is coming in. It’s always the same people with the same goal. Nothing that ever comes through that door is good at this rate. I think I would much rather not know what to expect. I can hear the shuffling feet and I ready myself for them to come closer and restrain me like they always do.I play through my mind the different techniques they could try this time; they have tried none of the basic torturing methods used in the human world. I have heard water logging is terrible. I am so absorbed in my own mental preparations that I almost miss the audible retreating of the footfalls. It takes more effort than I am willing to admit, but I force my stiff, raw body to turn onto my back and I have to blink several times to get rid of the hallucination in front of me.Maggie lies on her side, facing me. Her leg looks like it is bent at a s

*Maggie*“GAH!” I scream as I bolt upright in a cold sweat, clutching my cracking leg.Spit flies from my lips as I breathe through the pain and try to keep my sobs to myself. I fall back grunting and sobs wrack my body, only making the pain all the worse. My muscles throb and my femur creaks as it tries to find its other half so it can heal. Each agonizing second it inches closer and closer to where it belongs. An audible snap echoes through the darkroom as I pound the ground with my first.“Mother fucker!” I drag my hand to my mouth and bite down, trying to muffle my cries. Shivers wrack my body in a confused state as every part of me tries to decide if it’s found relief or more pain.“What the fuck was that?” a voice asks softly from the corner.“Adriana?” I ask tentatively.“You know me?” She asks.I bend my legs and test it out, k

*Axel*“It’s coming whether or not you want it to,” Angus says from his chair at the other end of the long oak table.“That is something we can agree on,” I scoff.“Eat, you will need the strength for the Ultima. If he is going to transform strong wolves, then he will need his own strength.”I look at the display of various roast meats before me and I have to keep the drool from dribbling down my chin. Never in my life have I wanted for food as badly as I do at this moment. Every part of my stubborn nature wants to throw the food to the ground in defiance, but I know he is right. My body needs the energy. If I have any chance of getting out of here tonight when the moon comes up, then I need to get my strength up.Reaching out, I reluctantly take a turkey leg, a slice of ham, and a mountain of mashed potatoes. I start to eat civilly, taking a bite and politely chewing unti

The Alpha's Freakshow Epilogue
Epilogue *Axel* ** Six Months later** I can hear Maggie laughing from my office, loud and boisterous. Exactly how she has been since we got our pack. She has been deep in the planning stages with Cora as they work on our newest Freakshow. Even though we have pack lands and I am helping Wade with his newest mission concerning omegas, we need a source of income. And we made damn good money with the original Freakshow. Billy and Bea have taken to traveling around looking for exiled, lonely, or abandoned shifters who need a home. We have quickly become the pack of misfits, but that is exactly what makes our pack so much more special than everyone else’s. We don’t want to travel anymore. It’s not something that makes sense when we all want to be near each ot

*Maggie* Ginger blushes as Emal drops a kiss on her cheek before running off after little Al, who is playing soccer in the field across the road. She and Emal may have mated weeks ago, but she still blushes when he shows affection around other people. Which I find amusing, considering she has never been a shy person before. That was always Emal. It’s almost like they have taken on each other’s strengths and weaknesses. The elephant bond differs from the wolf bond. It’s a chosen bond, which almost makes it seem bigger. No pun intended. I am pretty sure that Emal loved Ginger from the moment he saw her, but being Emal, he lumbers around trying to decide the best options. Not that he was looking for someone better, no. I think he was looking for someone better FOR Ginger. I guess it takes almost losing someone to realize that you would rather give them everything you have than watch them struggle on their own. So that’s what he did.

*Axel* “How has everything been so far?” Wade asks as we enter my makeshift office. The room is basic, with bookshelves lining the walls behind the desk, a large window facing the pines to my right, and beige carpet that match the tan walls. It’s not anything special, but it’s enough for me. I’ve never in my life had a real office before. I had a small desk overrun with papers at all times in my large circus tent, but it hardly could be used for more than writing down expenses or searching places to go. I've never had formal meetings before meeting Wade, I never had a reason to. My Freakshow pack was intimate and we are a family. If we wanted something we spoke our mind and asked there was never a need until now. “Great,” I answer honestly. “We had a whole haul of construction equipment, workers and materials sho
The Alpha's Freakshow Chapter 81
*Maggie*It’s crazy to think that only three weeks ago we fought the largest fight in our entire lives. Axel had never gone up against such foes, nor had any of us. Alpha Wade had even made mention that this was easily the craziest scenario he had ever come across, and the man was plotted against and almost killed in his own home by a committee member. So we don’t take his words on the matter lightly.Just as Alpha Wade had promised, they provided us with our own pack lands. Thankfully, it already had some houses and lots of land to spare for the building of more and potentially a small city area if we wanted. Axel and I have learned so many lessons since finding each other. Ironically, the most important one for me was trusting. Axel likes to put up a front and pretend he is jaded, and he has every reason to be, but I know better. He is the quickest of us to trust. Though that could be because his ultima powers help him with discernm

*Axel* It has been way too long since I have had a good night’s sleep, and waking up next to Maggie is the icing on the cake. I could feel her tossing and turning for the first part of the night, but once she settled in, I was able to fall into a deep sleep. What Billy said about the man setting fire to the tents has to have bothered her. I don’t see how it couldn’t. That night had been a rollercoaster of emotions for the two of us. Her falling, combined with her injury, had been enough to set me over the edge until her tears came. The tears that completely unraveled me. I would have done anything to stop those tears and the ache I saw behind them. I loved her before that moment, but I fell for her right then. It was the most real she had ever been with me, and in turn, I told her my secret. The same night, we sealed our mate bond. I reach out and stroke her soft cheek with the back of my knuckle, memorizing every line of her stun

*Maggie*Axel sits motionless in front of me and Billy trying to wrap his head around our crazy stories. I started with the moment I left Axel’s side. Billy and Axel sat in awe while I told them how hard it was to leave him, explaining finding Jacob, Declan, Rosie, Abigail, Bea, and Jasper in the woods. And how willing they were to help and follow me. Axel was especially not happy about me trying to take on Abraham’s pack or that I had been in his old home.I explained how Madelyn had helped us and how I pissed Jacob off by storming the dungeon the moment I realized the Freakshow was down there. But in the stoic face, I could see the pride and I took it as a good sign. He had no questions for me as he just sat and listened. Billy tossed in a few things here and there as we regaled him on our heroic journey to save him. I explained how I went willingly with Liam, and that I was beaten up because we had no choice, so I sparred with Liam
The Alpha's Freakshow Chapter 78
Maggie stiffens, and I hold her tight to my chest, refusing to move from my place. I hold no fear for my brother. I have no desire to fight with him and no desire to kill him, though if he gives me a reason, I will do what I need to. A heavy sigh escapes my lips and I glance down at Maggie, who slowly moves from my grip and stands at my side. However, I decide to remain seated.“Abe. What brings you here? Coming to kill me again?” I raise a brow and bring my elbow to my knees, leaning forward slightly.Abe chuckles and steps out into the lamplight that illuminates the broken driveway.“Brother, if I wanted to kill you…”“I would already be dead?” I raise a brow and dawn a ghost of a grin. Still the same as Abe. Way too confident for his own good. “What more do you have to prove? You have the title you have always wanted. I stayed away. You came to me, you and your men shot my ma

Cora comes rounding the corner with Hans right beside her, Jacob trailing close behind. Her eyes are red and puffy, her hair a tousled mess, and her nose pink and raw from blowing her nose. Hans is looking no better. His once lively smile and tan skin are nowhere to be seen. He moves like a zombie with no light in his eyes, offering Cora a hand when she shudders, trying to shed the weight of another onslaught of tears. The excitement of showing them overwhelms me as I smile wide and stick my hands in my pockets, trying to keep my eyes glued to the ground. They step in front of me, stopping and looking at me with their blank stare. My stomach lurches. They both look so broken and vacant. “Cora just fell asleep, Axel.” Hans frowns “I know, and I’m sorry to have woken you up when you really need some sleep. I’m not sure this is the right way to do this. Hell, I’m not sure anyone would actually know what the right way is, but…”
