Ciara’s POVThe two warrior rogues dragged me through several tunnels throughout the mountains. I tried to take mental notes of any turns, significant rocks, or any sort of direction they were taking me, but it was no use. The deeper we entered the mountain; the darker and more confusing appearances became. The only light we had were small lanterns throughout the tunnels and the glow of my IV.My mind is filled with such confusion that I attempt to put the squirrely questions in order first. Like Vlad, the Dark Alpha’s son, is the new Dark Alpha? Where has he been all these years? Why is his aura like an Alpha aura on steroids? What’s with the 400 scar? Did he really kiss my forehead and act like we were long lost lovers? EW! Once I gather my thoughts; I know I have to get out of here fast and warn Owen that the Dark Alpha has returned.“As fun as this is… I am gonna have to take a rain check boys…” Spreading my legs at the men’s ankles I tripped both of my guards causing us all to fal
Ciara’s POV“I’m sorry… Do what now?” Freya’s eyes widen in fear while my eyes widen with determination. “Eira, we can’t do that…” She turned away from me so she could help several of the teenagers get their beds made. “What do you mean? We can’t…” I follow her around the cavern as she helps them with their food, but she is refusing to look at me or acknowledge me. “Freya!” She continues to ignore me, so I roughly grab her hand and force her to turn around, but I see a small tear running down her cheek. “Why can’t we try to escape?”She turns her gaze to me with such anger in her eyes, that I am taken back by it. “Because! I just got my sister back and now she wants to play the hero and try to escape and possibly get herself killed! I can’t lose you again, Eira! Ciara! What ever you are calling yourself these days! Do you have any idea what our family went through? Do you have any idea what I went through? We were inseparable since the second we were conceived! What if they kill you!
Ciara’s POVMy original thought of Vlad being a handsome man has sailed away to sea and blown up by a group of ruthless, sadistic pirates. As someone who loves literature, I can’t even find the proper words to describe how villainous he is. The night of my first abuse was just the icing on the cake of pure hell and torture. Every few days, I am brought before him and he asks me to be his Luna, which I always refuse. With every refusal, Vlad comes up with more sinister ways to punish me for my disobedience. My body is used for the rogue warriors as a punching bag; I am beaten and kicked til I pass out. I have been thrown into a small cage deep in the darkest part of the mountain for days, leaving me with my own screams of my reoccurring nightmares. Vlad’s favorite punishment is to use me as his “Cum Hole” as he likes to put it. Even Ravenna and Dr. Ludolf get to enjoy my punishments with their magic and science experiments on me, making me constantly feel like a pin cushion.As the day
Alpha Mars’ POV“Maybe you should go in there… You are such a dick face…. No Way!... Seriously, Screw You!!!... No, the ugly asshole behind you, yes you, it’s your turn!... You are the Beta!” Bits and pieces of a loud whispered argument caught my attention annoying me awake. It was the first time in weeks that I had been able to sleep since I was informed of Ciara’s disappearance. If it wasn’t horrible dreams of my CJ falling off a cliff, it was unbearable pain in my chest causing me to lose my senses. Randomly during the day and night, I would feel Ciara’s bond to me. Whoever had her was torturing her and I was barely keeping it together. Every few days a wave of physical pain would wreck my body, but nothing was worse then the pain I felt of her getting raped. It was a mixture of my heart being ripped apart in my chest and pure fear and sorrow. Even though we weren’t fully mated, I still could feel some of her pain. If we were marked and mated, I probably want to die from the agony.
Hazel’s POV“Shit, Shit, Shit!” I tracked back and forth in the living room of my new suite at the Blue Eclipse pack, waiting for my phone to ring. I knew I was in big trouble and if I couldn’t figure out a solution to my problem quickly, I would lose everything. I look at the message I sent for the hundredth time. “I need to talk to you ASAP. It’s important! Come to my suite right now!”Two hours had passed and nothing. Not even read…A knock at the door startled me sending a wave of nausea through me. Oh, Shit not now! I push back the vomit in my throat and quickly open the door before letting out a sigh in relief! “What took you so long!?” Prince Liam strolled into my suite with a pompous air about him, taking in the newly decorated furnishings. “I am not at your beck and call, dearie… Nicely decorated room, love the light purples my mother used...” I roll my eyes as I walk passed him into the living room.“I need your help!” I sit down on the cream color leather sofa, but Prince
Alpha Mars’ POVBenji turns with a triumphant look on her face. “Strychnine poisoning!”Hunter, Theo, Gregory and I all look at her with dumbfounded faces. “Stry what now?” Theo asks confused.She turns off the music and Dr. Nancy is visibly disappointed by the end of their little fun, until she notices all four of us huge men standing in the door way causing her to leap back clutching her heart. Her face was red as a tomato with embarrassment at being caught dancing in her lab. She signs vigorously. “You shouldn’t scare deaf people like that Alpha! I may have needed to use the defibrillator on myself.” Matt says as Nancy points to the corner where a white and red case with AED written across the front was hooked to the wall.I signed my apology then return my attention back to Benji. “What is strychnine poisoning?”Benji pointed to her microscope allowing me to look at the small powdery white crystals under the light. “As you know, the day the Alpha King died, your father’s personal
Alpha Mars’ POV“What did you just say?” I nearly lost my balance at Alpha Jackson’s calm declaration of finding my mate.“Didn’t you send out a Missing She-Wolf notice to all the packs?” said Alpha Jackson. “I am pretty sure it was your pack’s crescent seal on the notice. My eye sight isn’t what it used to be. Damn small cellphone screens…”I nodded then realized how stupid that was, because he couldn’t see me nodding on a phone call. “Y..Yes… I did. What makes you think she is my mate?”“She matches the picture you included, and she keeps mumbling about needing to get to the Blue Eclipse Pack.”I look around the room at all the curious faces, but only can shake my head. “Where did you find her?”I can hear in the background the sounds of moving vehicles. Is he driving somewhere? “My Luna’s sister was having a 50th surprise party for her mate. We were on our way back from the party when we spotted a woman walking along the highway. Selene must have been on her side cause, It’s the cr
Alpha Mars’ POVI look over at Hunter in complete shock to hear him call Ciara his Mate. Then Ciara… MY Ciara… says the same fucking word! “MATE!”Without warning I grab Hunter by the collar and slam him against the wall, both our wolves snarling at each other as he grabs my shoulders to shove me off, but I am only seeing red. “YOU BASTARD!” I roar! I was completely out of my mind. Asher was even confused as he was snarling and pacing.“ME!? You are the one who is trying to claim my mate!” Hunter growls back at me as his canines are exposed close to my face. The rage between us was palpable and neither one of us was budging.“You, fucking bastard, trying to steal my mate. We are supposed to be fucking friends! YOU’RE MY FUCKING BETA!” I yell.“What the fuck Mars! Do you think I could actually fake the mate bond! That’s my mate! She rejected you if I do recall.” Hunter snarls back.“Umm, Excuse me?” A soft whisper of a voice came from the hospital bed, but we both ignored it and contin
Third Party POV – Five years Later“Daddy!” A four-year-old little girl with blonde wavey hair and striking smokey gray eyes wandered through the halls of the packhouse, paying no mind how loud she is. “DAAAAAADDDDDDDYYYYY!!!!” She yelled again.“What’s the matter, Isabella?” Beta Hunter strolled out of the packhouse kitchen munching on a bag of chips.“Uncle Hunter, Uncle Hunter” The little girl runs up and stands on her toes in front of him, hoping to make herself taller. “Where Daddy? They do it again!” She points her little finger in the direction she just came from. Her plump little cheeks red with annoyance.Beta Hunter couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head. This was a normal grievance from the little princess. “Oh, dear. Did you tell your mom?”Isabella crossed her arms with a huff, “No! I want daddy! Mommy say they playing, but nanny says they will break their necks! Wolves keep feet on the ground!” She rushed through in one big breath. She looks back down the hall and n
Ciara’s POV (several months later)That’s it! Its official… I think the moon goddess has changed her mind and decided to finish me off with an unknown disease. She has played a cruel trick on me. Giving me high hopes of the perfect wonderful life then snatching it away with a virus. I finally got my mate; I am Queen Luna, and I am surrounded by people who love and cherish me. Now I am hugging the porcelain throne of waste as if it is a lifeline from a sinking ship! Goodbye cruel world! Hello field of endless sleep…After my Luna Ceremony and the coronation of the new King and Queen, life at the Blue Eclipse pack turned into a pretty good routine. Alpha King Mars went back to his duties, and I took up the role of nontraditional, ass-kicking warrior Queen Luna.Owen and I had a big lavish wedding, to which all the pack leaders were invited. Our honeymoon was a cross-country ride on our motorcycles! Owen had my stuff and motorcycle shipped over to our pack as soon as my trial was over as
Chapter – Dear DiaryCiara’s POVDear Diary – Sorry I haven’t written in a while. My therapist and Owen had to remind me that writing will help my PTSD and help me cope with the memories of my time with the Dark Alpha. It’s been a crazy few months of learning to accept what I can’t change and to not blame myself for the past. I will admit the nightmares have gotten better since I started sleeping next to my goddess given mate. Being able to sleep has really helped the healing process, but when I do have a nightmare, Owen has to remind me I am no longer bound by the magical commands.Benji is getting better as well. She finally has some color back in her face and she no longer looks like a corpse. She is even able to take small walks with me around her garden, but it won’t be for a few more months til she’s able to go back in the medical lab doing what she loves. Each day she gets better and better, but I still sometimes find her sitting by the window with a far-off blank look on her fa
Alpha Mars’ POVI hug my mate then taste her sweet lips with a soft sinful kiss. Every hurdle, every roadblock, are destroyed and our path to forever is completely clear. I purr into her mouth, “Now you come home with me, and I get to touch your body until the break of day. I am going to kiss every inch of you, maybe even taste that beautiful pussy of yours, but no sex til you are 100% healed.” Without anyone noticing, I pull the blanket over her breasts so no one can see my hand, then flick and play with her nipple with my fingers.She moans then suddenly breaks away from my hold as if she just discovered something important, “Benji!”I look at her confused, “What?”“I want to go see Benji.” She looks at me with such pleading eyes that I groan. I rest my head on her shoulder. My cock throwing a tantrum over being so close to our mate and she throws a wrench into my sexually frustrated plans.“Seriously? You haven’t seen me in months, then you were unconscious for weeks, almost dying
Alpha Mars' POV We watched as the men and women of the elder council filed into their chamber. It wasn’t until the last robe disappeared behind the door that I finally felt like I could breathe. In a couple of strides, I was next to Ciara’s wheelchair kissing her sweet plump lips with everything my soul could give. The audience slowly filed out of the court room around us, but I wasn’t paying attention. My eyes were glued on my mate.“Fuck, I don’t think I could handle listening to your story much longer. I was ready to go to war with a fucker who is already dead.” I cupped her cheeks and stared into her smokey gray eyes. Her dark lashes fluttered her tears away as she smiled up at me. Goddess, I missed her smile.“What happens now?” Ciara says.“Well, they bring me their decision, and I fight it. But if they want to pursue it further, they can overrule my decision or go to the Magical Creature Council. But I don’t think it will come to that. I watched their reactions to your story.
Alpha Mars’ POVIs she out of her mind!?! She’s supposed to be resting and recovering from nearly dying! Not fucking being wheeled around by my warriors. And that pissed me off even more! The three warriors who were placed to guard her, brought her here to the courtroom and didn’t even bat a fucking eye on going against my command.I look over at Hunter who is smiling like a fucking idiot, secretly holding two thumbs up in approval at his mate, Freya. She smiled widely at him then blushed. Fucking, dammit!“What is your mate doing here? Shouldn’t she be resting? What if she gets sick again from the cold? What if something bad happens to her? This isn’t safe…” My mother fussed in my ear, but I waved her away. Those same thoughts were running through my mind, but what could I do? Ciara is a stubborn thing, but I loved her for it.“I hear you are trying to decide what my fate should be.” Ciara’s voice is calm and collected, just like a powerful Luna should be. “It’s considered rude to ta
Ciara’s POV Every inch of my body was stiff like a pole was shoved up my back. My muscles refused to work, my brain was foggy, and I am pretty sure my bladder was about to explode. A numb tingling feeling like when my foot falls asleep was crawling all over my skin. Basically, I was miserable. ‘Ember are we dead?’ I whined through our link. I started wiggling my toes and fingers slowly getting some sensation back. Every slight movement was a small blessing. I guess the moon goddess wasn’t going to make things easy by letting me magically rise from the dead like a phoenix… Nope she had to go the zombie route. Snort. ‘You aren’t dead, Frankenstein, just stiff… You need to keep moving your body. I’m working on healing you…’ Ember was a wonderful sight to see in my mind. I couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Ember, is it weird without our friends with you?’ She nodded, ‘yeah it’s a bit lonely without their presence, but at least we have the memories.’ I smiled at that…. ‘Now open your eyes, I
Alpha Mars' POV Ciara’s beautiful smokey gray eyes squinted up at me then fluttered in and out of focus. She tried to adjust her position on the bed, but she was stiff from laying still for weeks. She let out a soft groan but couldn’t get any words out. She tried to speak again, but her eyes widen in realization instead, clutching at her throat in panic. Shit that fucking tube in her mouth… She was struggling to breathe! I just got her back and now she’s going to die from fixation from a fucking life-support tube!“I’ll get someone to help!” Artemis ran out of the room while Freya stood motionless crying, and my sister Olivia just looked uncomfortable since she has never met Ciara before.I pulled my chair closer to Ciara, “Its ok, Baby… someone will be here soon to take that fucking thing out. Keep your eyes on me. That’s it, baby… Look at me… I got you!” I smiled at her still holding and kissing her fingertips as I continued to whisper sweetly to her. “I am not going anywhere. You a
Alpha Mars’ POVI stare at my mothers’ retreating back in complete confusion. “What the fuck just happened?” My mind couldn’t handle another fucking thing to worry about. Wasn’t only a few months ago, my mother was calling Ciara some no-name whore? Now she’s fussing over her blankets, checking over her, and warning me about the fucking council? Plus, she admitted to her mistakes in her own way?“Boss, I think we need to take heed of her words about those sneaky old bastards.” Hunter pulled out his phone from his back pocket, working over the screen with his finger. “There’s nothing on the pack calendar for a meeting, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t meeting in private. I need to get a hold of Elder Mayfield. She’s always been on your side and will know what’s going on. I’ll be back shortly.” Then he rushed out the door without another word.Theo patted my shoulder as he stood as well. “I better get back to my family. Antonia will bring more food later. No te preocupes, Ok? No worries
