The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 34 - A lost little pup.
MelodyMelody walked to the door and invited him in. He was her mate after all, and she was just about to tell him about their plan. All her friends seemed to agree that he should be part of their inner circle. To say that he was furious was an understatement. Matthew pulled her aside, wanting to know if she was going to go through with this ridiculous plan, but Melody saw no other way. If she pulled out of the fake engagement whatever with Eli, he would suspect something.“Don’t you think that our meeting before you do this stupid thing is a sign?” Matthew looked pained and it pained her to put him through this, but he had to understand the importance of what she was going to do. He had to understand that she would rather die than mate with Eli, but that she would have to play at being in love until they got what they needed. She knew that Eli would push for them to have the wedding as soon as possible, but she also knew that if she tried really hard, she could postpone this damn wed

MelodyMelody had to admit that she was surprised to arrive at her parents’ home and Eli wasn’t there waiting to drag her off to the chapel. When she asked her mother about it later, she was told that his mother had called her mother and told her they would give Melody a day or so to settle in, and then the entire family would get together to start with the arrangements. Melody rolled her eyes at this, thinking to herself that it was so damn typical of Eli’s mother to assume she would be in charge of everyone’s schedules!Thankfully, her mother hadn’t asked her about Matthew just yet and Melody was grateful that Matthew was hanging around, but keeping a respectful distance. She had to admit that he was surprising her that he was able to keep a distance between them. She knew that it was nearly impossible for wolves to stay away from their mates physically. Especially in the beginning.Gabriella, in the meantime, was having a tough time keeping it all in. They had been warned that ever

MelodyThey couldn’t discuss what they had found on the bus or even in Melody’s parent’s house, but they could all go out to the lake and talk about it there. Her friends loved the lake and although Matthew and Melody had to be careful not to show any kind of affection towards each other, they were at least able to talk. They spent the afternoon just basking in the glorious sunlight and swimming in the fresh cool water and the time went by way too fast. Before she knew it, it was time for them to go home and have dinner.She would be going to dinner with Eli and his parents the next night and she drank every single moment with her friends and Matthew. She knew that these memories with her friends were the only thing that was going to get her through a night with Eli and his parents. These memories were going to be the only things to get her through all of this! She had to pretend to be falling in love with that bastard so she could convince him to tell her what the hell was going on.

MelodyGabriella felt awful to see her dearest friend go through this, but there wasn’t much they could do about it. It was the only way they could find out why the wolf king had been attacking his own people. This, however, wasn’t what she wanted for her friend! They were shopping for a dress for a fake wedding when, all the while, Melody could have happily been shopping for her real wedding dress. Gabriella walked over to where Melody was paging through some of the dresses and whispered that she just had to imagine as if she was buying the dress for her wedding with Matthew.Gabriella didn’t get the laughter she was hoping for, and instead, Melody frowned softly replying that she wasn’t even sure if she wanted to be with Matthew. Their conversation was interrupted by the shrill voice of Melody’s fake future mother-in-law as she swooped through the front door. Melody whipped around and glared at the woman.“What are YOU doing here?” She sounded as if she was on the verge of growling

GabriellaHearing that their king was planning to wipe them all out was the worst possible news they could have gotten! Gabriella was quiet all the way home as her mind kept thinking about it. What could have happened that the man finally lost the plot? Everybody knew that the Wolf King was a little crazy, but hearing that he had taken over control of the magical council was just unthinkable! How did he even do that? How did the Wolf King take control of the most powerful council in the world? That was the question that was bugging her the most.They arrived at the pack house and went straight into a private meeting with the alphas from the neighbouring packs that were attacked previously. At the moment, Gabriella didn’t trust anybody and she carefully studied the alphas as they told them what they found out. There was one she singled out during the meeting that just point blank refused to believe what they were telling them. Gabriella was furious by the time they ended the meeting an

The Wolf KingHe saw Magnus making his way to him and he knew that whatever the warrior had to say, it wouldn’t be good. That meant he would probably have to postpone his sparring session and he took his seat on the throne, waving for Magnus to approach as a young omega filled his golden goblet. He liked the old-fashioned things in life and was thinking of even bringing in a fire pit in the middle of his hall as the old Vikings had.“Your majesty,” Magnus kneeled in front of him. “I’m afraid, I am bringing bad news.” Magnus continued, and the king was reminded of why he liked Magnus so much. He got straight to the point. “It seems one of the packs in the outer regions of your kingdom has found out what is going on.”“WHAT?! HOW?!” The king growled, sitting upright. How did anybody find out what the hell he was up to? He made sure that nobody in the damn homelands would talk! Magnus shook his head and explained that he was out checking on packs when he noticed that one of the packs had

GabriellaGabriella knew that something was seriously wrong the moment the border patrol informed her that Melody was back. They ran out to meet her and, from the looks of things, Melody had a tough journey back. Melody told them what happened on their way back to the main house and Gabriella couldn’t help but be furious at her friend for taking such a huge risk with her life! If the Wolf King had caught her, she would be dead!Matthew rushed over and pulled Melody into his arms and breathed in her scent and Gabriella laughed as a soft growl escaped from the poor guy. He had been pacing up and down the passage in the main house all morning while waiting to hear from Melody. He was driving all of them insane and Gabriella was relieved that her friend was back safely. Unfortunately, she told them that she had given a date for her fake wedding, which meant they didn’t have a lot of time to get their army together.Then there was also the alpha, who wouldn’t believe that the king was plan

GabriellaThings between Gabriella and Lucienne were getting complicated. In most instances, the male was the alpha, and the female his tame Luna by his side. Whenever they met with other alphas, she would be sidestepped and the other males would automatically speak to Lucienne, but she could overlook that most of the time. What she couldn’t overlook was when they point blank ignored her advice!She was thinking about it while walking down the aisle of one of the many interesting stores looking for fake wedding things. Yet another thing she felt awfully guilty about! Even if Melody was madly in love with Eli, Gabriella knew they didn’t belong together. It was a gut feeling she just had each time she saw them together. She wondered if it had something to do with the fact that they knew he was mixed up in whatever the Wolf King was doing or if her powers told her that something just wasn’t right. She scoffed at her own thoughts. They knew something wasn’t right!“Hey,” Venus joined her

Gabriella“Well, it wouldn’t have been a group holiday if someone didn’t get hurt.” Gabriella laughed as they all piled out of the boat upon their return to the island. Jake was all fixed up thanks to some angel magic which nobody, not even Melody, completely understood. The fairy queen kept to her word and as soon as they arrived at the fairy docks, Jake was whisked off to a tent that was already set up.One of the other angels that were there treated Zion and Lucienne was supplied with some extra tea that Zion had to drink every night before bed. And just like that, a huge crisis was averted. If they were on the pack grounds when it happened, it might not have worked out as well, and all of them agreed. The angels really knew what they were doing, which made Gabriella wonder if she should find out if they could get one to move to the pack house.Her train of thought was quickly halted when Lucienne reminded her that they were meant to be on holiday and not planning more work. Since
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 71 - A huge accident!
MelodySeeing her friend going through such a hard time, all Melody wanted to do was comfort her, but now wasn’t the time. This was actually the perfect time to let Venus learn that Hunter was there for her just as much as her friends were, if not more. There was, however, something Melody had to tell all of her friends.She told Matthew the night before and he was simply ecstatic. Melody patient waited until everyone was seated at the breakfast table. Gabriella was the first to notice that their normally chatty friend had been awfully quiet all morning. Thankfully, the sudden budding romance going on between Venus and Hunter drew her attention and Melody almost breathed a sigh of relief!She wanted all of them to be comfortable and relaxed when she gave them the news because she had absolutely no idea how they were going to react to it. She waited until everyone had finished breakfast after deciding that she didn’t want to tell them before. They would probably get so excited that the
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 70 - Venus and Hunter
Venus“You haven’t done anything wrong.” Venus wiped the tears from her eyes. She wasn’t ready to say the words out loud yet, since it was still really early in their relationship, but she knew that she had to give Hunter a chance. Their friends were standing on the porch looking on as Hunter helped her out of the boat and when they joined everybody else Venus joked that the idea of not being able to work freaked her out and she had to make a run for it.She hoped the joke would distract them, but she knew better. It wouldn’t be long before the girls asked her what was going on. Since she didn’t have a mother to talk to, she had always confided in her friends. Maybe it was time she trusted them with her feelings now. She needed to figure out how she felt about Hunter. They were all used to meeting their man and falling instantly madly in love.Venus, on the other hand, had a completely different experience. How was she going to live a life without him after he had grown old and moved
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 69 - A surprise for the girls.
Venus“What are you doing here?” Gabriella exclaimed as she met Venus in the car park.“Meeting you. You sent me a note to meet you here.” Venus looked amused but Gabriella frowned.“Hi, girls, beautiful day for a run.” Zion appeared from behind one of the trees and it was clear she had just shifted and changed into her yoga clothes. The girls were still very confused when the three guys appeared with suitcases.“What’s all this?” Gabriella laughed and Lucienne promptly explained. The guys had planned a holiday for all of them in the fairy kingdom and Melody and Matthew would be joining them near the border to the homelands. To say that the girls were surprised was an understatement! Venus tried to make excuses that she just had too much work to take care of, but Hunter wouldn’t hear of it.The girls were all bundled into a van with the guys and off they went. The guys had been prepared for everything and answered each question the girls had about what was going to happen to the work
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 68 - All grown up.
GabriellaIt had been an incredibly long day and Gabriella was hiding from Venus on the terrace overlooking the training grounds. Lucienne and the warriors were training and she almost wished she could join them, but she was just too damn tired. Being queen was not what she thought it was going to be. Not that she thought anything really. It wasn’t something she had planned for her future and she wondered if she would ever be able to get her book done.“Spying on your man, I see.” Zion’s voice interrupted Gabriella’s thoughts and she blushed bright red.“You caught me red-handed!” She laughed as she turned her attention to her friend. “I never imagined I could love him this much. If I think back to when I found out we were mates,” She turned her attention back to the training grounds as Zion stood beside her.“Yeah, it hits you like a train, doesn’t it?” Zion pulled a face and they both laughed.“Don’t you girls want some dinner?” Melody appeared and they laughed as Zion commented tha
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 67 - Looking to the future.
GabriellaNow that Gabriella had been crowned queen, it meant she was traveling a lot more than she originally thought she would. It felt strange walking into the council chambers this time and she instantly felt it. The weight of presenting her kind in the council was resting heavily on her shoulders. It didn’t feel like this before. Before, she was just there to fight for survival. Now she was going to be part of the group of people who made the decisions that guided their entire region of supernatural creatures.“Well, I would like to start by congratulating Queen Gabriella on her coronation.” The queen of the fairies was the first to speak. The appearance of the entire council had changed since they last met. The mistress of the forest had been replaced by a new representative as well since she had been imprisoned, but the king of the vampires still kept his seat. For some reason, they couldn’t find any proof that the man was involved in the Wolf King’s plans even if he fought sid
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 66 - Magnus is still alive!
GabriellaGabriella was surprised at the amount of work that went into sorting out who was born and who died. She was even more surprised to find out that they didn’t even have all the documentation. This was a mammoth job Venus was trying to get done, and Gabriella was going to make sure Venus had everything she needed to do.They all went to bed late and were up early again to work on all of it. She did promise Venus they would help, but they just started when Gabriella noticed that the boys were missing. She asked the girls if any of them had an idea where the guys were going, and when nobody did, Gabriella called Lucienne through the mate link.He promptly but politely informed her that he thought it best if the boys didn’t help the girls and they were outside training. When Gabriella told the girls, Venus quickly agreed and showed them the little pile of papers the guys had been working on the night before. They joked around saying they were sure the boys each sat with one certif
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 65 - A new kind of life
VenusLife as the assistant to the queen was a little more complicated than Venus had expected, but Venus quickly got all the necessary etiquette under the knee. Her problem wasn’t that she had to figure it all out. Her problem was that she had to now teach the damn wolves what it all meant to them! Venus was getting resistance from all corners and not just in their damn pack!Suddenly, alphas needed to see her about everything! It had become clear that Caesar didn’t keep up with his duties as he was supposed to. Being the ruler of the werewolves meant so much more than just chasing after wars! Venus had to bring all the paperwork for all the different packs back up to date since Caesar didn’t take care of any of that. New births had to be registered and deaths were just a damn mess! Venus sighed, thinking to herself that she would probably never be able to get it all back up to date as Hunter brought her some lunch.He had been an absolute godsend and she had no idea what the hell sh
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 64 - A new royal family is declared.
GabriellaThe war was over and the pack had settled into a normal rhythm again. It took a couple of months for things to be sorted out completely, but as Gabriella cut the ribbon to the new part of the pack house she felt proud of what her people had accomplished.All the new pack members were linked to the pack in a special ceremony the night before and today was moving day. The pack house was almost twice the size it was when she came back from her first visit. They had also done some upgrading in the older part of the house and she was happy with what her people had done to make life easier for everyone.Melody and Matthew returned from the homelands two weeks after everyone else and Melody was an enormous help during the construction of the pack house. She not only made sure that everyone was fed, but she also helped out when it seemed as if it was going to be impossible to get something done. Gabriella caught herself wishing she had magic like that a couple of times.The coronati
