The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 47 - A steep price to pay.
GabriellaThey were all sitting in Melody’s parents’ living room discussing where Zion could be when they heard a ruckus from outside. As they piled out of the door, they found the magical guard shoving and pushing people around the camp while ordering them all to pack. Eli was at the head of his group of men and his attention turned to them instantly.“Your pack has been banned from the homelands.” Eli frowned as if he didn’t entirely agree with the decision, but he didn’t say anything. Gabriella grabbed Melody as she pushed past Gabriella, probably on her way to telling Eli his fortune. Eli looked sadly at Melody before something sparked in his eyes. He asked if they could talk privately and reminded Gabriella that they had to leave the homelands.Gabriella didn’t like Eli talking to her friend privately, but only because she hated herself for putting her friend through all of this in the first place.They went upstairs to pack and as soon as she heard Melody next door, she went to
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 48 - The war begins.
GabriellaGabriella stood on the balcony looking out at the forest below. There was something unholy brewing in the air, so much so that she could feel it. She wondered why the king suddenly felt this need to kill all of them and then she wondered who made the final decision that they should leave the homelands. It made sense, the wedding was off, but she never imagined that the magical people would just chase someone away. Something told her that the king had something to do with it, and she sighed.She was tired after a day of meetings with her elder council and some of the neighbouring alphas. It seemed her neighbours were divided about believing her. Even if she could show them proof, she was sure that those who were on the side of the king would stay on his side even when he came for their packs. She had moved back from the city just in time for a damn war, and the thought sparked an idea. Lucienne had just brought some coffee when she grabbed the mug, planted a kiss on his cheek
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 49 - Rotten, inside and out!
GabriellaGabriella paced her office trying to figure out what to do next. Thankfully, most of the alphas they spoke to believed what they were telling them. She was just so damn concerned about what Melody might do because of her parents. She really didn’t want to see her dear friend or her family hurt in the middle of this fight. Then there was also Zion. Where the hell had she disappeared?! Gabriella wouldn’t dare to say it out loud, but she was convinced it was just another one of the King’s ways of showing her pack that he could do whatever the hell he wanted and they couldn’t do anything about it. Well, she was going to show him!The Wolf King had made his first really big move and the stories about the homelands quickly spread. Before Gabriella could catch her breath, people from all walks of the supernatural world started pouring into her territory and they had to let them in. The stories people had to tell were just horrific! It seemed as though the word was spreading that he
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 50 - On the verge of war.
GabriellaGabriella’s heart was pounding as she paced up and down the length of her bedroom. The council had voted that she should lead the war against the Wolf King. What the hell did she know about war? She had barely returned when everything in her life was turned upside down!“Hey, hey, hey.” Lucienne walked in and stopped her halfway through her stomping process. “What’s going on?” He frowned and she glared at him as if he should know by now what she was thinking. Their power could tell them all sorts of things, but it couldn’t always tell them people’s deepest, darkest thoughts. Or it might be if Gabriella had actually practiced. She sighed as she realized her thoughts were running away and Lucienne was still looking at her in anticipation of an answer.“I’m not equipped for this. I don’t have any war experience. I’ve only ever heard about the fights my parents had with rogues.” Her arms flew through the air as she sighed. “I don’t even think my parents ever fought a war!” She f
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 51 - The sad truth about war ...
GabriellaMelody let her friends know that Eli was suspicious of her return, but at least her parents were safe. The soldiers took many of her parent’s friends prisoner, but Eli must have felt something for them because her mother explained that he made sure they were safe. Eli clearly still had feelings for Melody. What those feelings were, on the other hand, remained a mystery.Matthew, on the other hand, wasn’t doing that great to infiltrate the Wolf King’s men. They were a pretty tight group and he was beaten up pretty badly. To make sure they didn’t kill him, Gabriella ordered him to meet them at the border to the homelands. They could use every man they had. As soon as they were all a little rested after their move from the pack grounds, Gabriella couldn’t see why they should waste any more time.The Wolf KingIt wasn’t a surprise to hear that that damn female got an army together and was now just outside his border. He was standing in the old king’s war room with all his adviso
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 52 - Venus and the wolf
GabriellaGabriella woke up with a start and it took a moment for her to realize she was in Melody’s room in Melody’s parent’s home. She flinched for a second as she sat up and felt the enormous bandage on her side. The memories of what happened rushed back and she rolled her eyes. Those damn angels! If they could hide the Wolf King, why the hell couldn’t they just heal her wounds?Why hadn’t her wound healed? The thought was awfully distressing as she got up and slowly made her way downstairs to where all the noise was coming from. Lucienne was pacing back and forth, growling terribly. Why the others around him tried to calm him down? As if feeling her presence, he looked up and rushed over. His arms carefully slipped around Gabriella and no amount of her protesting was going to stop him from carrying her over to the couch to sit down. She thanked him feeling grateful because this wound was tiring her out a lot.“Out with it?!” She ordered when all her friends kept looking at each ot
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 53 - Taking a chance on love
VenusThe boy named Hunter tilted his head to one side looking amused but at the same time confused. Okay, fine, so he wasn’t a boy, but it was the only way Venus could bring herself to think about without THINKING about him! Was this how the wolves felt when they met their mates? All hot and bothered? Hell! She didn’t even know how demi-goddesses were meant to feel when they meet the love of their life!“Venus,” His voice was so damn smooth that she had to clench her legs together tightly to keep her arousal in check! She knew that wolves were able to smell it and she wasn’t about to give away the fact that she found him incredibly irresistible! “I don’t want anything from you.” He took a couple of steps closer and she sat down to put the table between them, making him smile as he leaned against the counter. He studied her for a moment while crossing his arms over his chest. “I want to be with the woman the moon goddess chose for me to be with. You.” He looked at the door as if heari
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 54 - Angel tea.
GabriellaGabriella had been resting as much as she possibly could but could feel her strength deteriorating. They had to find the Wolf King and fast. She was still convinced that she was the only one who could care for him since she was the only one infected by his stupid demon magic! Just the thought made her furious. How could the angels allow anybody to get their hands on that kind of magic? Weren’t they supposed to protect people from it?She got up, cringing as pain shot through the side of her body and when she had a look at the wound, she could see that the poison had spread all the way up to just under her arm and her entire leg was covered in black veins. Her time was running out fast and the angels hadn’t come back with their so-called cure yet. Making her way to the window with a lot of trouble, she looked out at the camp below. People were talking and laughing and living their lives the best they could after the fight.The people who were down there had no place else to g

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
