The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) The Celebration Rogan's POV
The entire pack was elated and although I should have told them to ration more of the food everyone had been hungry for so long that we all deserved the feast. It was nice to hear the laughter in the air and I sat beside me not as happy Alpha Athena. I held her hand and I knew she was upset with me for doing what we did without telling her. I whispered into her ear passed her red silk hair. “I know you are angry at me but please see how good this is for our pack. Everyone here needed this even you.” I paused for a moment and felt her body tense at my words. I wasn’t being completely fair about it as I was using my most deep seductive voice hoping it would calm her and lure her in. “You know I love you and would do anything to keep our pack at peace.” Her face now turned and she looked me up and down. She was obviously still angry. She looked deep into me and up and down showing her fury with every look. I could feel the fire inside her trying to ignite me into a ba
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) A New Day
My mind was still reeling trying to understand in disbelief how the Red Crescent Pack could not only steal from us but do it so easily right from our pack house. Somewhere in the night, I fell asleep deep in my thoughts. I tried to put aside all my ideas and told myself that this couldn’t be because they’d tortured Rogan and he was able to give them details that made it easier for them to access our food storage. I didn’t want to imagine what he was going through if he was alive or perhaps this was the last thing that took him from me for good. My wolf paced in my head all night and still hints of dreams kept coming of me heading to the waterfall to be left standing there alone. I wished in my dreams that any of my family could help guide me through all of this. I tried to not think too much about what Sarah had shared with us but still, it was there in my mind as well could I be the way to stop the Red Cresent Pack for good by taking over as their Alpha? How on earth would that
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Critsy's POV
“I want the fuck out of here! Just let me fucking go!” I screamed over and over pulling at the straps that hooked me to the hospital bed. I knew just being here wasn’t a good sign it meant my brother was gone and the last thing I remember was Gorm coming at me! Gorm who used to be my brother and then he had the fucking nerve to come in here and try to talk to me! I wasn’t going to do it! This was my last chance to do something right by my brother and keep my mouth fucking shut! They’d have to kill me and then I could be back out blessed moon goddess! Yes, that was the only option for me. I felt the rage pour into me and I again screamed “Just kill me you stupid motherfuckers! I’m not telling you anything!” I heard the guards outside pounding on the door. “Just shut the fuck up then and I would be glad to kill you!” “Fuck why is the Alpha insistent on keeping this guy around?” “You fucking know why we need him to tell us where they are fucking hiding at. We can’t keep letti
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) One Week Later
I came out of Critsy’s room again frustrated and annoyed. We were no further I felt than I had hoped. I’d focused all my attention on him for the last week and the only thing I’d managed to do was convince him he had to eat and drink. It was a start but time was ticking away on me and Corgan’s ceremony didn’t feel that far away now. In fact, they had begun planning it and I felt more trapped than ever before. “At some point my little wolf you have to begin leading him or this will never work.” Gorm snickered sitting in one of the office chairs spinning himself around. He was becoming a bit of an annoying patient, to say the least, because he really was all but healed but I knew he had no desire to leave Sophia’s side until they were officially mated so it was allowed for him to remain. Even at this point, Sophia’s spot in my room had been removed because she spent every night sleeping beside Gorm. Nothing inappropriate of course because Sophia was a lady. I had been impres
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Thriving Rogan's POV
The time moved quickly in the last week as I continued with the raids but had agreed tonight to stop altogether because Athena had become more and more agitated. Still, our food supply was good and everyone in the pack was happy and healthy which for the first time in months was a huge relief. I felt like our pack was finally going to make it and sure it took some risky actions but thus far the Mystic Moon Pack had not expected us to raid so often and so quickly. We had only knocked out several guards and had not hurt any in the wake. This was a good thing because it meant they didn’t have to come after us and still with us hiding in the mountain they had no idea where we were. We had been careful and made sure we had washed our scents away in the waterfall and then climbed the rocks high enough that they couldn’t even catch the scent if they tried. I was proud of the pack and the way they were handling themselves and felt confident that we could keep going. Still, in the end, t
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Day Before
The days flew by in a spin of flurrying and excitement. Laura and Rollo’s wedding combined with Gorm and Sophia’s was the talk of the pack house. There had not been any attacks in the last few nights by the Red Crescent pack and although patrols were on high alert and everyone was prepared for the worst the excitement and love in the air was overflowing for most. I secretly hid my burning jealousy and dreams of what I thought my days would have been looking like now. My dreams and wishes were becoming nightmares when I tried to sleep but I just kept smiling and trying to pretend everything was fine when I knew nothing was. With the ceremony coming up it met Corgan’s ceremony wasn’t very far behind and that met my fate was being decided by me whether I liked it or not. I was grateful Corgan had given me some distance with all the new revelations and difficulties even getting Critsy to talk to me was proving difficult which meant all hope was becoming lost. Erin was no closer to even
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Ceremony Day
The dinner the night before was rather uneventful, at least I assured it that way. It was the greetings of niceties and politeness that were all over the place. It was obvious that Laura and Sophia felt overwhelmed by the large to-do that The Luna had put on but it was her norm to go overboard. I thought of every meal I’d ever had with the Alpha pack and it was nothing short of over the top and honestly fantastic but even with all the loveliness of it, I never felt truly comfortable at a single one of those dinners. The Luna had assured it yet she also would never let me leave the Alpha pack despite her son being gone but all of that was going to change. I knew in my heart now what must be done but I also would wait just one more day so that Laura and Rollo and Sophia and Gorm could have their day. Rogan wouldn’t want it any other way and I knew neither did I. I knew I was quieter than normal the night before but showered and prepared for the day to keep myself maintained even th
The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Preparing (Laura's POV)
Preparations for the night were in full go mode with not a spot in the cottage yard untouched with flowers or food for the guests. It was truly way more spectacular than anyone had planned which I knew had something to do with the Luna. Still, I wasn’t going to let it phase me or let anyone else know I was truly bothered how such an intimate ceremony had become so large, it just wasn’t worth the argument. Plus, I truly didn’t care I was marrying Rollo, my love and partner too and that was everything. Plus considering my last marriage was held at the white priestess's home and arranged by Hannah, that bitch, this was nothing I couldn’t deal with. I couldn’t help worrying about Sophia and Gorm and hoped they wouldn’t mind the larger and much more extravagant event it had become but Sophia had been quiet if she was bothered by it. They even had to take down our fence that surrounds the main yard on one side to make room for the much larger group of individuals coming to the weddin

“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
