"How did you do that?" I asked.
Penn jumped and extinguished the fire. "Um, I just rubbed some wood together."
"I saw you, Penn. You produced that from your hands."
"No, no I didn't."
"Are you lying to an Empress?" I challenged. "That's a crime."
"And what would be my punishment?" Penn gulped.
"Death."
"Empress, please…"
"Fine, I'll give you a warning since you didn't know. Now tell me how you did that?"
Penn sighed. "I don't know, I'm just able to. It started last year and it freaked me out. Werewolves aren't supposed to have
He merely stared at me for a second before swiping his giant claw at me. I cried out feeling the claws penetrate my arm. Okay this was not Cedric. I used the wind to throw him back. He got back up but before he could attack, a grey wolf jumped out from behind me. I knew immediately it was Penn. His mouth clamped down on the Aleni's arm, causing a roar to escape him. His claws slashed at Penn's side. He let out a yelp as he released the arm. The Aleni slashed him once more. I had to do something. As the Aleni went in for the kill, I summoned a vine to wrap around his neck, yanking him back. I urged the vines to wrap tighter and tighter until a sickening crack could be heard. The Aleni fell limpy to the ground. I watched Penn limp away. I assumed to c
The Wanix were losing their minds.No one had ever punched the Empress in the face. And if they had they surely hadn't lived to tell the tale.I could hear them shouting and someone definitely threatened Hunter with decapitation. Well this wasn't good for our alliance at all.I slowly opened my eyes and saw Zeke leaning over me. "Zel, you okay?""Is my nose bleeding?" I groaned."Just a little bit. At least we finally have proof you're not a vampire.""I still want to know who started that nasty rumor." I said as he helped me up."Empress Zelda, I am so so sorry!" Hunter cried. "Really, it was an accident. I would never intention
"Let me get this straight," I laughed. "I'm both of your mates?"Penn nodded. "It seems so, Zelda.""So then we can be together, right? I mean Ms. Moon Goddess said so herself. We have the go ahead." I pulled him to me. "So can I start the flirtations up again?"Penns slowly wrapped his arms around me. As always my body warmed up at his touch. "You are making this so hard.""I'm hoping to. It's easier that way, you know?""While you're my mate, you're also Hunter's. He's already accepted you.""So you accept me now." I said simply."Well what if I accept you and end up not liking you?" Penn teased
The water droplets fell back into the water as I fully came to.What the hell was I doing in the creek? How was I controlling water? What in Veone's name was that horrid dream?Was I really in his head? Or was it just a nightmare?I waded through the water, making my way back on land. How the hell did I walk out here unnoticed? I had never sleep walked before. This was definitely not normal.When I was out of the water I used the wind to dry my nightgown and my feet before heading back to my castle. I thought about the dream the whole time.It was so vivid and realistic. I could actually taste the blood in my mouth and feel their organs in my clawed hands. The transformation was ab
"How do you know that?" Posy asked."Well…" I glanced at Oz."We can trust him." Zeke assured me. "I swear.""I think I've been tapping into Cedric's mind when I sleep. I saw the attack on the Hell Dwarves. It was like I was killing them too!""Why didn't you say anything before?" Posy demanded."I thought they were just dreams!" I exclaimed. "But I think we're psychically linked or something.""This is good right?" Oz asked. "That means we'll know the Aleni's movement and how close they are.""He's not wrong." Zeke pointed out. "This could be used to our advantage.""It'
"Who the fuck let you in here?" I demanded"I'm so sorry Empress." Shane bowed profusely. "He just burst through the doors. He's very strong!""You are fine Shane." I assured him. More than fine. Down right sexy. "You may leave us.""Now this is a nice kingdom!" Yavo grinned looking around. "I could get used to this."There were gasps all around as he sat on my throne."We're going to have a real beheading!" Posy whispered."Get out of that throne right now!" Zeke roared. I had never seen him so angry. I think his werewolf side was coming out. His eyes had that familiar glow.Yavo slowly got up. "Oh, shit. Is that your throne? My
"Empress, you seem sad." Hunter stated during training. "Are you okay?""Hunter...what would you do if you cared deeply for someone but everything in the world was telling you you're not allowed to? That you aren't meant to be, but you think you might be?""Well, I would keep trying. That's what I'm doing with you.""You care deeply for me?" I asked."Of course I do. You're my mate, Zelda. And sure you and the world are saying it's not true, but I know in my heart that it is. So I won't give up." He said simply."Huh. That's kind of romantic.""I thought so.""Another question. What if one p
"Oz?" Penn asked.The boys completely broke apart. "This um this isn't what it looks like!" Oz exclaimed."So you weren't kissing my brother?" I questioned."I mean I was but you cannot tell my brother.""Look, maybe we should go to the kitchen to discuss this." I suggested.We walked in silence to the kitchen. Penn got us all cake and we sat at the island, just staring at each other."So...Oz you like men." Penn stated."Is there not a more delicate way to address this?" I asked."I don't know, we've never had a gay wolf in our pack. Have you ever had a gay Du
