The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) First Raid (Rogan's POV)
I’d planned it for over a week now and tonight would be the night. We would wait till after the darkness fell all over the countryside and then we would stealthy using only three of my best wolves invade the furthest area for feed and weapons that the Mystic Moon kept. It would require us to travel for over 15 miles past the safety of the mountain but would also be the best way for us to have hope of survival allowing us to get food that could help the pack that was secretly starving without saying a word. Athena had that effect on them able to control their emotions but I couldn’t stand how they were so willing to obey her rules they weren’t even noticing that it was days in between a single meal now. We couldn’t go on much longer like this but still if Athena knew what I was doing she would never allow me to go. I had the realization that perhaps my mate was controlling my emotions just as much as she was controlling everyone else’s. I shook the thought out of my head as I tr
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) The Waking (Gorm's POV)
It felt like I’d been in the same position for days and I felt weak again like how I used to when I lived with the Red Crimson Pack. I didn’t really consider them my pack anymore and I hated that feeling of hunger and weakness because it just brought back old memories. Athena flashed before my eyes I swore for a moment I heard her witchy laughter it caused my eyes to pop open and I was suddenly aware of the smell of cleanliness and fresh lines wrapped around me then I smelled the most glorious smell of all the smell of fresh strawberries and sweetness mixed together. I smelled my mate. I looked around to see her bustling around the small room, the hospital, right why the fuck was I in a bed in a hospital? I was so distracted by her small angelic body and beautiful blonde hair similar to that of Kellina’s but smoother and done up in a tight bun. I wanted to undo that bun so badly and let her waves of hair fall down her back, her naked back. Yes, that was it I wanted to see what w
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) The Awakening
Sophia yells “He’s awake! He’s awake please come!” Filled the basement and up to the stairs where Corgan and I were now coming down. He wasn’t going to let me out of his sight until we’d talked which felt excruciating so I was going to drag it out as long as possible. Although hearing Sophia's words with the joy in them told me one thing my friend Gorm had to be awake. I flew down the stairs and into the clinic where Sophia smiled outside the door gleaming from ear to ear. It had to be Gorm and she was ecstatic as any true mate would be knowing that the one that was bonded to them by the moon goddess would live and they could finally be together. I felt the smallest sting of jealousy in my heart but ran to her hugging her with as much joy as I had to give to two of the kindest hearts I knew. I knew that Gorm and Sophia’s ride would not be as easy as I’d hoped but I also knew somehow it would work out for them. I would fight tooth and nail for both of them to allow them to be tog
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Stress (Sophia's POV)
I paced back and forth nervously occasionally trying to adjust or reorganize anything. We had a fairly quiet morning at the clinic anyways because the physician had completed most of his visits early in the morning and the rest of our new CNAs were able to handle him. I really should be working on charting and checking the other few patients we had that remained like the red wolf who lay quietly alone as he always did. I felt a tinge of guilt as I should be a better nurse to him and cared for him as he deserved but I just couldn’t bring myself to know that he had been the cause of so much pain to my mate. My mate! I could not believe the words I heard in my head. I saw Laura approaching and tried to look busy I wasn’t sure what to say as I waited to see why my mate was in with the Alpha and what could possibly be taking so long that I could not check on him. “Sophia you do not look well,” Laura stated as she gently put her arm on my shoulder. “I’m sure he is alright and i
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) My Mate (Gorm's POV)
I waited for her to walk in the door and as soon as she did I was completely memorized once again. Her pale skin was so beautiful with her beautiful white snow hair pinned so tightly up her head. I couldn’t help but think how beautiful that hair would be down with my hands flowing through it. Again my erection tried to rise and I bunched up my blanket to pretend I was getting more comfortable. Her crystal blues took me in I imagined I didn’t look very good at the moment. I’d been out for close to a week and I felt my chin full of stubbles of red. I generally kept myself tidier and I was disappointed she was seeing me this way. Then those beautiful crystal eyes of hers looked over at me. Her face was more plump and full of life than my friend Kellina’s and although some of their generic features were the same, this woman was far more beautiful than any other woman I’d ever seen. I did my best to take her in wearing her light blue button-up dress with a white surgical apron on top. She c
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Clinic (Rollo's POV)
I finished patrol early and so far all was quiet in the pack which was a good thing but also made me uneasy. With the recent sighting of the red crescent pack members, I was sure there would be some kind of retaliation because for all they knew we had killed three of their pack and that didn’t come without consequences typically for any pack. Although I was never sure what would be up the sleeve of the leader of that pack because if you would at the mating ceremony of my beloved adopted daughter Kellina and the future alpha there have been an attack. I would have told anyone who would listen to you were crazy. I kicked my ass daily for not seeing that coming and now watching the destruction of Kellina in every which way was harder than losing my wife and daughter long ago. I tried to put the thought to the side as I approached the clinic doors. I was there for three reasons one to welcome Gorm back to the living and see for myself he was okay. Second check on the red wolf that re
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) A Walk to Remember
We shuffled out quickly out of the clinic and I walked quickly desperatley trying to get to Sarah’s quickly so that there wasn’t much time for Corgan and me to talk. I hated going through all the emotions and did everyhting possible after Rogan left to avoid all of these things at all cost. I already knew Corgan was blunt honest and direct just like Rogan and right now im my life these were things I wanted to avoid. “Kellina if we walk any faster we might as well be running.” I ignored his statement and kept on the same pace out the walls of the Pack house and into the beautiful green of our pack land. The roads weren’t always what most used around here and because of that the Alpha and Luna had decided to start putitng in walking paths to just aobut eveywhere. The inner part of the town as you would call it was about a mile away from the pack house but was becoming more and more its own inner city full of shops, grocery store, gas stations. All the normal things you wo
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Sunset
We were both quiet as we left Sarah’s and the sun was just setting. I took in the beauty of the rolling hills and trees all around us. The one thing that I loved more than anything about our pack land was the natural beauty of all of it. We had our shops and stores closer to the center but still most chose to live outside the confines of town and take in the countryside. We owed it all to our ancestors for getting this land and maintaining it for so long so we could love the natural beauty of all of it. Sarah was surprisingly very candid even in front of Corgan which I hadn’t expected and as we stepped down off the porch he grabbed my hand holding it sweetly. I should have pulled away but I allowed it because something had shifted between us because I was now considering this mating even if it did feel semi-forced. It was the most reasonable decision. I worried about Eric though and how he would feel but I had to be realistic neither was my true mate and this at least brought s

The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) No More
“He kissed her! He fucking kissed her!” I kept yelling in my brain as I raced up the stairs. I needed Rollo, I needed the Alpha and I was going to end this. I arrived at the door of the Alpha’s office and told the guard I needed the Alpha now, not a moment later Rollo arrived throwing his shirt on quickly. “Kellina my dear what is it? You don’t look okay?” Rollo checked me over and I knew he could see the bruises on my arm which out of just wanting to avoid the conversation I put my hands behind my back. “Rollo I need to talk to the Alpha now and need Corgan there.” “Corgan, what?” He questioned me but then stopped. “Okay, whatever you need my sweet girl.” He then turned to the guard. “You heard him go get Corgan now!” He barked and the guard jumped racing up the stairs. At that moment the door opened up and the Alpha stood there, “What the fuck is going on?” “I need to talk to you about the deal we made now please and” I turned to Rollo, “I need to make sur
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Let Go
The door creaked open and inside was the same setup as was in my previous cell. I could feel Kellina beside me breathing so heavily I was worried she would hyperventilate but when I turned to her she took a deep breath and then gave me the blankest smile. I knew it wasn’t real but she was there standing beside me as she always had. Part of me wanted to tell her everything right now that the kiss we had shared had filled in a thousand gaps in my memory and I knew now she was my mate but I couldn’t just yet because of the hold Athena had on me had to be released before I could even begin again with the beautiful white wolf with burgundy tangles of hair intertwined. I heard my wolf in my head. Mine it said and only that. I knew what my wolf wanted and so did I but the burning in my flesh from the fake mark Athena had given me had to be released because my whole self felt as if it would explode at any moment. I then turned to Athena’s true mate Erin and I couldn’t help but think ho
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) The Proposal
"What did you just say?” I knew I must have just heard it wrong but my body was heating up telling me differently, “I apologize perhaps I shouldn’t have just stated so I will ask but now the answer should be yes. Will you take a shower with me?” Rogan took a step forward and his eyes darkened and there was that flicker of silver that told me his wolf was also wanting the same thing. I looked around the room searching for someone to verify that we were hearing this all correctly but it was just me and him. “I uh....don’t know....uh.” He cut me off, “Kellina I need to know you’re safe after Corgan broke the bloody door down so it’s the only thing that makes sense is for us to be in the bathroom together and if we are going in together then I’d rather you just shower with me because neither one of us should be taking a cold shower and one of us would be if we waited on the other. It just makes the most sense, right?” Was he making perfect sense? What world was I li
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Waking Up
I fell into a deep sleep and found myself reliving some of the most horrid memories of life. First I was in the dungeon with Hannah again and she was beating me to the point the pain then it went numb. I still remember the thought of death and the taste of my blood pouring into my mouth. Then I switched to the smiles of Rogan at the waterfall and suddenly I heard Athena’s cackle. The cackle stole my whole word and then I tasted Hannah’s blood in my mouth before seeing Rogan disappearing into the trees. I felt myself trying to scream and begging for help but it went nowhere. The louder I screamed the more it felt like nothing moved and I just kept trying then I heard his voice, “Hey Kellina, just relax, I’m right here.” I woke up shaking and I must have been saying his name for him to react that way. I felt his arms wrap around me with a feeling of trying to keep me safe as he whispered in my ear. “I’m right here. You were just having a dream.” The feelings of sparks and
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) F'd up Rogan's POV
My mind was reeling and pounding with the ideas of what I knew to be true. I felt more fucked up than I did even this morning when I woke up before I’d been set free to a certain degree. I pounced up to the room trying to ignore the sad moving body behind me. I couldn’t look at her and focus right now because I was still fucking angry about what I’d smelled. It was Erin, the wolf I halfway liked to be honest because he was tough and didn’t put up with all the bullshit like some of the other wolves. I even appreciated the way he was trying to get a handle on Corgan which was not an easy task. Fuck Corgan, what was that guy’s deal anyways? I know he was my brother and from everything I’d been told we were close so what the fuck was he on one about now? It felt like it was more than even just wanting to be the Alpha. He’d only come in and talked to me one time when I first got there, told me who he was, and asked if I remembered him. I know I was an asshole at the time,
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Jealousy Kellina's POV
I yelled with all my might and tried to grab Rogan’s arm to calm him but he threw me off in a rage. “Get the fuck off of me, this wolf knows what he’s done.” Erin was barely fighting him off at this point and I knew if something didn’t go Rogan was going to kill Erin right in front of me I screamed for others to come but even the guard Rave who came up was no match for Rogan at the moment. I turned to Corgan who was standing there stupidly laughing in his drunken state and grabbed him forcefully by his shirt collar. “You want to be the fucking Alpha! Then start acting like one you stupid dumbass!” His eyes shot up and stared and me in shock. I knew I’d never talked to Corgan like that before but desperate times called for it. “You really think I’m going to be with someone who will stand by and watch something like this! You are the only one that is strong as the fucking Alpha in front of you killing your friend so do something about it!” I finished off with a slap to h
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Realization Rogan's POV
There was barely a word spoken as we walked and she allowed me space to walk ahead of her without a word. I spent the entire night listening to the Red Crescent pack and knew those wolves like the back of my hand for the last few years they were all I knew and focused on. I could tell their subtilities if they didn’t want to tell me something but today there was none of that it was just the plain simple truth. I was where I was supposed to be and they all admitted to taking me away knowing that Kellina existed and was the true descendant of the red wolf. What's more, Athena was not my mate but had many different powers that were from dark ways that many didn’t know. She’d been gifted all of these lessons and information from her mother and father who also used them to trick the red wolves into their bidding and from those older wolves the memories of being tricked to kill Kellina’s own family. Until now there were so many fears about Athena that nobody would even consider go
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Sophia POV Ectasy
I dashed ahead laughing as Gorm chased after me. I knew it wouldn’t be long before he caught up but I aimed towards our house. It was a small quaint house very similar to Laura and Rollo’s home but I loved the idea of having a home that was both ours! I ran through the picket fence and heard his breath catching up to me. “Woman you better get that door open quickly or I will have my way with you outside.” He said in a deep husky voice. I knew Gorm and knew he wasn’t kidding. I just had made it through the door and flung off my coat when his arms grabbed me pulling up so my feet were dangling and pushed his mouth onto mine in a passionate and forthcoming kiss. I giggled slightly and wrapped my arms around him. “What is so funny my love?” He pulled away looking into me. “Nothing is funny at all I just can’t help expressing my happiness is all.” I ran my fingers through his longer red hair marvelously at the sight of his strength as he still held me up in the air.

The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) The Walk Gorm's POV
The day and night were spent celebrating and talking a great deal to Rogan. I could not let this man that my Alpha loved to think she was something she wasn’t. I immediately pulled him to the side and told him everything I could including intimate details about Athena making me believe at one point that I was her true mate. Rogan about lost it at that point but I was lucky to have Critsy and other red wolves near to express the same to Rogan. It was difficult and damaging in some ways for him to hear. I knew Kellina could barely stand the hurt he was feeling by all of it but he had to know. So many red wolves had come to him and told him the truth of everything including going along with all of Athena’s ideas which truly did consist of allowing Rogan to believe they were true mates. With Critsy’s help, we had even been able to piece together the night that Rogan was taken and some of what happened after including drugging Rogan beyond consciousness and Athena using spells
