“Kellina, I don’t think we can do this much more.” The Alpha couldn’t even look me in the eye as he spoke. “I don’t know who that man in there is.” He motioned to the room where Rogan was held. “I mean he turned wolf on his damn mother and what is worst is she would have let him kill her.” I could see now the reason why he looked down was because his eyes were beginning to red and I thought for a moment just maybe the Alpha would cry. Then I saw him take a huge deep breath that turned a growl inward. “I believe in two weeks when Corgan’s birthday happens we should move forward as Rogan was still believed to be lost.”

“What? What do you mean?”

“I mean I think at Corgan’s birthday we should announce your two’s union and Corgan becoming the Alpha when I step down.”

“What? No, you can’t do that, Rogan is here right now and he is my mate.” The Alpha looked at me solemnly but I just wanted to reach out and hit him. “My mate is alive and you still want me to marry his

    “Kellina make sure you do your part,” Eric stated matter-of-factly. I turned and looked at him with astonishment. Here he stood a man who had just helped me from being forced to marry my own mate’s brother and now he acted as if I wouldn’t follow through. “Me? What about you volunteering to fix Corgan’s drunk mess?” “Corgan is not difficult but I need you to make sure you Rogan stay in line.” I looked at him and his eyes were dark and more serious than I’d ever seen him even with all the things we’d gone through and all the anger I knew he still had for me. “Erin, I swear on my life I will die before I let him around her again.” I meant every word and I saw him take it in realizing I was truthful. “Good, then let's get to work shall we?” He started to walk away but not towards the stairs towards the other side of the basement and I knew. I could not stop and reach for his arm to stop him. He stopped and looked at my hand on his arm in annoyance. “What is it no

    I let my mind wander for a few minutes rather than keep contact with her eyes because truth was I wanted to melt into them. I knew her words spoken were true. I started to pace back and forth through my cell and she just stood there watching. That was the one thing I could appreciate about her was that there weren’t any lies, there was no fear, and she was more patient than anyone else who walked into that room. Everyone else wanted me to be whoever I was before but in truth, I didn’t know that person but I did want to know him now compared to when I was first put in this cell. It occurred to me she was thinking of these things as well, “So you think by removing me from here I will remember who I was and just make everyone happy?” “I would like you to remember but I also know you will never be him anymore.” My head snapped to look at her and she remained there calm and patient. Fuck! She knew things and was so accepting of losing the person she knew before. “

    We sat across from each other for hours with me doing most of the talking. I even was able to get him to relax a bit more and drink some soda and chips brought to us by one of the packs. He asked a thousand questions about them just bringing us food and drink. I could tell it bothered him so I explained it more to him just as he had once to me. I explained that this is their wish as a part of the pack to serve the Alphas and most find it to be a great honor. We treat everyone equally and I even told him about the council and who was on it. He asked many questions and I did my best to explain to him everything I knew. I also told him about who I was and where I came from. I was sure to include that he was one of the people who had helped me discover who I was. I could tell he was quiet during this part of things as he was with any portions mentioning the red wolves. I wasn’t sure if he was thinking it couldn’t be true or what his feelings were. I knew Athena had told

    I tried to ignore the hard erection I got just by the way she had looked at me. I could feel her being turned on and smelled it just as much. By the time I made it to the bathroom, I was so fucking hard it was throbbing. I could not hold in the growl and hoped she and the other pack members who were there couldn’t hear me. It was not lucky. I heard a tap on the door. “Are you okay in there?” No, I’m not fucking okay get in here and let me strip you down and fuck you in this enormous bathroom in every inch of it was all I could think about. I hopped in the shower thinking it would distract me but flashes of her naked body dripping with water put a different idea in my mind. I found myself lost in the images and imagined she was showering with me and had bent down to suck my very hard penis. Her mouth felt like a dream but oh so good even if it was my hand pretending to be that sweet luscious-lipped goddess. For the first time, since I’d been captured and brought to th

    I continued for at least an hour sparring and kicking the living shit out of Corgan. I had to give him props because, despite the fact he was hungover and weak, he just kept coming right back at me. His rage was intense and I knew it was partly because he was coming close to his birthday when he’d become a wolf for the first time and also because he thought he was losing the girl he loved. Curse to the moon goddess for creating a woman who wasn’t only beautiful and an amazing person but damn a good fucking kisser too. Kellina was the whole package and I couldn’t blame Corgan for wanting or even being upset he didn’t have her. After all, I had been there too and told myself it didn’t matter if she was my mate or not and that we could be happier together, and for a moment I thought I would have everything with her. I didn’t even care just like Corgan if she wasn’t really in love with me or not, but life kicked my ass over especially when the moon goddess unleashed a really dirty

    She jumped at me as soon as I was naked and I caught her in my arms. Her smooth skin caressed my body as I grabbed hold of her amazing ass and walked over to the shower turning it on to warm. Her tongue plunged into mine aggressively fighting with me with every kiss. I could feel her claws digging into my back holding on not because she needed to hold on because there was no way I was going to let her go but to cause me pain as well as ecstasy at the same time. I moved my shoulder along the water making sure it was warm and then turned pushing her into the water. At that instant, I could feel her shift in her core and she let me enter her. The water splashed on our faces and she pulled her mouth off of mine laughing lightly as the water ran down her body while I pumped my erection into her using only my arm strength and her body pulsating onto mine. Her wolf growled inside her and it caused me to push harder and faster while her nails dug into my back she leaned her body b

  • The Crimson Priestess (Book Two)    Red Crescent Pack "Rogan's POV"

    We set off quickly after the tense moment and went out of the doors of the very large pack house. I turned around to look at it and really it looked more like a large compound and became more of that in my mind as we took the road walking towards a smaller entrance. There was a garage for heavy-duty vehicles, and even a few small homes in different areas when I asked who lived there it was either guards and their families or even the servants that helped in the house. It was important per her words that each pack member had their place to call home. I pondered this idea of separation between the wolves and it did seem to work for the Mystic Moon Pack. I couldn’t help wondering why perhaps it was the large Alpha’s presence or the willingness to allow anyone into the pack. The Red Crescent pack wasn’t this way. Everyone was always right next to each other and sometimes you did feel smothered but at the same time, you also felt safe. I was quiet as we walked out of the compo

    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

    “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 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

    "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

    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

    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,

    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

    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

    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.
