The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Lost Wolves Rogan's POV
“They are gone! How can they be gone like that?” I felt frustration and anger knowing that three of our best red wolves had been lost to what I best guess was the Mystic Moon Pack. My fist pounded into the cave wall as I had no other way to express my anger. I watched now as rock flakes fell onto the ground of the misty floor. “I know you are taking this on yourself but you mustn’t. We both know they went too far, farther than we had ever allowed. It was a miracle we were even able to recover two of their bodies.” Athena placed her hand gently on my shoulder but all I felt was the rage as I whirled around to face her. “They went too far because there is nothing to eat up here and they went where there are better hunting grounds and actual food Athena! Our pack can’t keep living like this much longer!” I glared into my mate’s eyes pleading for her to understand. It was Athena’s duty to lead our pack but I was her mate it meant just as much to me to guide alongside her. “What
Last Updated : 2023-01-25The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Pushing Forward
It had been days and Gorm nor the other red wolf was awake. There was no identifying the other wolf as he was found naked. Erin didn’t have much information as he had just come up on them and realized it was going to be a battle to the end. Thankfully, he was all but healed besides some healing left on his neck. The only real thing we had to go off was that they had to still be members of the pack because as soon as our guards left to assist with the injured by the time they came back the two dead wolves were gone. I waited to hope that the red wolf makes it as he could be a lead to the Red Crescent Pack which meant a possible lead on Rogan. I tried not to get my hopes up as the days progressed because so far neither Gorm nor the red wolf woke up and it was now Friday. It was a tough time for everyone especially Sophia who had not only absorbed every word I had spoken by Gorm but had barely left his side. The last few nights I’d had to go and wake her from beside his bed just
Last Updated : 2023-01-27The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Dinner with The Alphas
Dinner was unusually quiet except for Roe chatting away as if nothing could be different. I could feel the tenseness and every time I looked up at Corgan he would put his eyes down refusing to make contact with me. I wasn’t sure what the plan was or what was happening but I had the sudden feeling it was not going to be good. We finished dessert and the Luna asked Roe to leave the room to get ready for bed. I wondered if now they would finally talk about whatever it was they wanted to say. My stomach was overwhelmed with the amount of food I had just eaten and truly I just wanted to go back to my room. Then it hit me that maybe they want me to move out. Would I leave the space Rogan and I shared? I couldn’t imagine leaving the memories although not as many as I wanted that remained there. I loved that I could picture him anywhere there and imagine for only a brief moment that he was back with me. “Uhhum, well yes Kellina we asked you here tonight to discuss something with you that
Last Updated : 2023-01-28The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Hot Mess
I was a hot mess by the time I came back to the pack house. It was the middle of the night and I was grateful that it seemed quiet. I decided to go through the garden and in a back way trying to avoid as many wolves out and about in the area. Part of me had even debated about going to Laura but she had been happy with me that I was eating breakfast with them since Sophia had been staying and the last thing I wanted to do was stress her out even more. I walked into the garden and didn’t see a soul in sight so I took a breath and allowed the moonlight to show me how I really looked. My nails were dirty and muddy and my entire body was covered in scrapes because I’d allowed myself to run into the woods not caring what I ran into. I just had to get away was all I knew at that time. Now that I was realizing it they were burning and bleeding slightly but nothing too serious until I looked down at my calf. I’d been cut and was bleeding a great deal from the area. I didn’t have anything t
Last Updated : 2023-02-02The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Intensity
His eyes darkened and my entire body was heating up fast. I could feel my face burning and I did nothing but just stare at him with intensity. I wasn’t sure if this was what I wanted but it seemed right at that moment. I needed to let go needed something besides this death I’d been living for so long. I moved to unzip the back of my dress only now feeling the small aches in the pains of my body from all the small scratches. “What the fuck are you doing Kellina?” He now looked at me puzzled. I suddenly felt awkward and embarrassed. “You said to get undressed,” I stated almost more as a question. “Yeah, in there.” He motioned to what I was guessing was the bathroom door. “Go get undressed and shower. I’ll grab something for you to wear and get some supplies to wrap your damn leg.” He shook his head as he went to his closet, and I suddenly was so embarrassed and ashamed of myself for thinking he would take advantage of me in this situation let alone allow him to do so. I quickly
Last Updated : 2023-02-09The Crimson Priestess (Book Two) Morning
I was on the mountain once again and there stood just Rogan and me. I tried to run to him but somehow I was stopped by some invisible wall. I screamed to get past it and nothing. I screamed his name and could see him looking at me blankly but still nothing. There was nothing and then in the background, I saw the woman in red approaching with her long red tendrils of hair flowing around her shoulders. She approached him and I tried not to scream again for him to turn around and run or do something but still nothing. As she approached her arm reached out to his hand and he took into her she then laughed that evil cackling laugh as I felt desperate to get to him but was still blocked by the invisible wall. They slowly turned and I screamed for him to turn around and look at me but still nothing as I watched them walk away until I couldn’t see them any longer. I fell to the ground and felt the grass poking my skin as I sobbed. “What the fuck is wet?” I felt Erin’s arm leap out from un

He kept pounding on the door I was certain it was going to start a commotion outside. The last thing I wanted was to bring more attention to myself so I realized I had to open to door. I was terrified and worried he’d see my T-Shirt and boxers I was still wearing and realize that it was Erin’s. I cracked the door open and cracked my head open. “Hey, what's up?” “Kel, I want to talk please.” Corgan’s dark eyes sparkled as he talked and I was drawn in just for the sheer way they looked like Rogan’s. “I’m a bit busy at the moment and could use the space.” I tried to get him to leave quickly. “Are you kidding me we haven’t all given you enough space already?” I felt a ping in my gut realizing how awful I’d been to every one. I hadn’t ever considered Corgan’s feelings about losing his brother and now his parents were throwing a lot more on both of us than I think he or I ever wanted. “I’m sick of waiting for you to be ready to talk and after you took off last night it's not fair
Last Updated : 2023-02-12The 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) 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. With
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
