The Fated Alpha Queen Chapter 73 - Grief
* * * Max’s POV * * *I wish I can say that over the years I have gotten used to people dying. I never have. I don’t want to. It tears a hole through me whenever somebody I care for dies, no matter the circumstances. But I don’t want it to “not matter” either. I don’t want it to be something that just passes. My pain and my scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person. And if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even burned or lacerated, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to love. And the scar tissue is stronger than the original flesh ever was. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are only ugly to people who can’t see the beauty of what once was. It has been years since I had seen my mother, and yet I have always hoped that she was alive and well. I had loved her deeply, the way a boy does. The way a mummy’
The Fated Alpha Queen Chapter 74 - Memorial Service
* * * Eve’s POV * * *The last ten days have been beyond difficult, watching the man I love disappear within himself. His body is there, but his mind has been clouded from me. All I’m able to feel through the mate bond is a swirling torrent of emotions, that I can’t begin to describe or understand. I can only imagine what he’s feeling, I know that Nate has tried to close off, to reduce the intensity of emotion I will feel. But I still find it debilitating at times. All I can do is be here for him, I feed him small bites of food when he will allow and will place a straw at his mouth, and he will drink. But there’s no recognition in his eyes. Max isn’t there. I have begun to feel fear for my mate and have mind-linked Dr Marshall for advice, but all she has been able to tell me is that he has to process his emotions, he has to feel what he’s feeling. He has spent most of his life wondering what had happened to his mother, and now he knows that she’s gone. Forever gone. He needs time and
The Fated Alpha Queen Chapter 75 - Challenge
* * * Max’s POV * * * Lucas is sitting there, his shaggy brown hair blowing in the wind. He looks as though the wind will blow him over if he were to stand. The poor guy is petrified. Damian has checked the cameras that were triggered by the motion detection, the guy has come alone. As far as we can see, the camera’s and detector’s only cover a 300m range around the boundary wall. I arrange for a patrol to scout the area and make sure he hasn’t brought any surprises with him. Poor guy. Sent like a lamb to the slaughterhouse by his Alpha. Only, I won’t prove his Alpha right. As long as he does as he is asked and poses no threat, I won’t kill this young man. I wait for the patrol to finish their lap. ‘He's definitely alone, Alpha. We have run a mile radius and can only detect one scent’. Jessica informs me. I will speak with this Lucas, now. Lucas stands as I exit through the gates and walk towards him. His legs are trembling as his fear takes over him, and I can tell that his wolf
The Fated Alpha Queen Chapter 76 - Response
* * * Max’s POV * * *Once again, I find myself sitting in my office with my ranked members. I can’t help but look at the chipped and peeling magnolia paint that is on the walls. It’s a dump, and our rebuilding and remodelling work is once again on the back burner. Always needing to be done, but never done and never started. There’s always one drama after another, that prevents the work from being done. Perhaps once this latest drama is over, we can finally rebuild this pack as we had planned. Jasper is sitting on the sofa, his foot bobbing with his impatience. I know he wants to crack on with the security system installation. His pale complexion is a stark contrast to his jet-black hair. His eyes have darkened to almost black, showing that he’s hungry. He hasn’t aged a day in the ten or so years that I’ve known him. One of the benefits of being a vampire I suppose. I’ve always been afraid to ask him how he became a vampire, but that’s going to change. He has become the father I’ve n
The Fated Alpha Queen Chapter 77 - Problems and Surprises
* * * Eve’s POV * * *Max returns to me, exhausted and covered in bruises. It reassures me that Nate is able to recover quickly. His mood has lifted, and he’s looking forward to future training sessions. His eyes are wide and full of life, and he seems carefree for the moment. He rushes towards the porch and swings me around in his arms, making me giggle in delight like a young child. “Max, you’re making me dizzy,” I squeal. “Thank you,” he tells me as he kisses me passionately.“For what?” I ask him.“I don’t believe I have thanked you yet for being my strength and support after finding my mum. I think I would’ve perished if it weren’t for you,” he tells me. “Max, we’re together no matter what. I’ll lift you up when you don’t have the strength to stand. When you have no courage to face the world, I’ll do it with you. I’m with you every step of the way, in the good times and the bad,” I tell him. And I know it’s true; this man has my entire heart and soul. “Let me make you some din
The Fated Alpha Queen Chapter 78 - Preparing
* * * Max’s POV * * *Eagerly awaiting the return of Jasper and Allan, I’m pacing by the gates. Back and forth, back and forth, every movement of grass, tree or bush and my eyes search the area for any sign of them. They have been gone for almost five hours now. We’d anticipated that it would take them 1.5 to 2 hours to travel the distance to the Blood Eclipse pack. I should have gone with them, but I would have slowed them down. There’s no way I can keep up with them over that kind of distance. I repeatedly check the time and my phone for any messages or missed calls. I’m going to miss the training session this morning if they don’t return soon.The last few days, I’ve trained morning and evening, making sure that I take an ice bath to ease my muscles. I made sure to take Dr Marshall’s advice and had Joe transfer some healing energy. It had felt amazing; within the space of a few minutes, I’d gone from tired, aching, and sore to feeling invigorated and full of energy. He has volunte
The Fated Alpha Queen Chapter 79 - The Challenge
* * * Max’s POV * * * Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. My alarm blasts the sound of a horn repeatedly until I turn it off. I sit in bed, rub the sleep from my eyes, and take a deep breath. Today is the day I will challenge Alpha Derek and finally stop this madness; I have trained hard and feel confident in my abilities and our plan. The only problem is that I have no idea what Alpha Derek has in store for me. I look down at Eve, smiling up at me, but her eyes tell me she is worried. “Good morning, beautiful,” I say to her. “One more day of hardship, and we should finally be able to live our lives as the Moon Goddess intended. You can do this, Max. I believe in you,” she tells me as she sits herself up. “We are well prepared, and our pack is strong, we will save all who we can and build them a strong and happy home,” I tell her. “Famille vient en premier,” she whispers. “Famille vient en premier,” I say firmly. She has made it our pack motto, and I truly believe it. This pack is fami
The Fated Alpha Queen Chapter 80 - The Shadows
* * * Max’s POV * * *The pack of rabid wolves are running towards me, scouting the area for more targets. I look back to where Alpha Derek had stood to find him running away like a little bitch. I’m briefly torn between giving chase to Alpha Derek and fighting the wolves. I choose to fight the wolves; I have to keep them contained until my backup arrives. They can’t be allowed to reach civilisation and harm innocent people. We still don’t know the full extent of the damage they will cause. I spot the pack breaking apart, with one group heading towards the mountain base where the witnesses are now scrambling. “Help his pack climb the mountain,” I command Fred, as I make my decision. I shift into Nate’s wolf form and let out a ferocious howl. The howl is filled with anger, rage, and challenge. It’s telling the wolves to accept my challenge and fight. It works, and they begin to turn back around to face the challenge. I run towards the smaller group, prepared to shift back into my mo

The Fated Alpha Queen Bonus Chapter 3 - Nellie’s Story
* * * Nellie’s POV * * *From the punch to the erosion of self-esteem over time, domestic abuse can either come fast or act as a dimmer switch. Nellie was ashamed that she had never gotten out of her situation. It had almost killed her on several occasions. She was an emotionally dependent sort and had never been on her own before. But once you have kids, they are your priority. They have to be. You try to get out and make a new life, a better one, and become their role model. If you don't want your kids to put up with the same... neither can you... otherwise they most likely will... because people often subconsciously seek what they grew up with, even if it's harmful. That is why she had tried to escape over the years and that is why she had written for help from her parents. There were nights when she knew Max would lie in his bed listening to the sound of fighting. Her, his mother would shout and cry, begging to be released from this living hell, his father would begin laying int
The Fated Alpha Queen Bonus Chapter 2 - Nellie’s Story
* * * Max Aged Three * * * If Nellie was a house, it was built out of love, and the floor is her faith in who she is. Robert’s cynicism ate away at the walls and hit the floor until one day it cracked. The perfect house everyone knew and loved, fell completely. Recovery was the biggest challenge she had ever achieved, and only possible because she loved her son, the community and nature. She worked to rebuild her house, a brick at a time; she put in new floors and polished them to a homely brown. There are times she still finds that there is a brick missing here and there, or perhaps the floor needs bringing back to a shine, but she made it. She was determined to make it for her son.She had tried reaching out to her family and to Harrison. But to no avail, so far. But she wouldn’t give up. Once Max was down for his nap, she found her writing journal and began writing again.‘Mama and Papa,It’s been just over three years since I last saw your faces, and almost three years since I’v
The Fated Alpha Queen Bonus Chapter 1 - Nellie’s Story
* * * Nellie Aged 13 * * * “But Dad, what if I get bullied at the new school too? Please keep me home. Teach me here.” Nellie whined. “Sweetheart, you have to go to school. King Arthur promised that the teachers would look out for you here,” her father reassured her. “But what if they do bully me?” she fretted. “Then we go to speak to the King; it will be fine, I promise,” her father soothed her. It was her first day at the Lycan High School that resided within the Lycan kingdom. She had spent all night tossing and turning, wondering if the Lycans there would accept her. The last two years at her previous school had been miserable. The school was mixed with humans and Lycans. The humans were unaware that creatures of fantasy existed and shared their classrooms and halls. She had not bonded with the humans, and the Lycans had ridiculed her and kept calling her a dog, which was their way of insulting werewolves. It hadn’t bothered her to be called a dog; what bothered her was that
The Fated Alpha Queen Chapter 116 - Into The Unknown
* * * Eve’s POV * * ** * * One Month Later * * * The final decision has been made. Max and I will accept the offer of the Gods and transcend into Demigods. We will live as immortals for an eternity, setting up the academy and keeping the peace. We’ve travelled with the gifted; Cherokee and Isla, Joe, Jasper and Sarah and little Theia, who will be approved to transcend. Our ceremony will be held in a few weeks. We will transcend and become Demigods. After that, we will only be able to visit our loved ones during the solstice. Otherwise, the only entry to Earth permitted is on a peacekeeping mission. I find myself thankful that the Moon Goddess had delayed us having children. I wouldn’t be able to accept this path if it meant only seeing my blood twice a year. It’s been a peaceful car journey and has only taken us an hour. The Gods will meet us within the castle to show us how the portal works. As we approach, the castle looks to be in ruins. Magnificent. But ruins all the same. The
The Fated Alpha Queen Chapter 115 - After the Battle
* * * Eve’s POV * * * Zeus walks away from me to turn his attention to the hunters. “You humans will listen to me. I didn’t create your lives, to be disrespected by you. You will stop your violence and hunting and learn to live in peace,” his voice bellows across the battleground. Half of the humans drop their weapons and kneel before the God who granted them life. This is an historical day, and I’m certain it’ll be spoken about for generations to come. “And if we chose not to?” A hunter challenges.“Amos Clark, I would have predicted a life of peace for you after your upbringing. Seeing daily violence from the customers of your crackhead mother. Your life changed for the better when your mother was fated to be the second chance mate of Beta Thomas of the Blue Ridge pack. He helped her to be free of the drugs and to become the mother you needed. He gave you a home, an education and a family, and yet here you are openly killing the kind that saved you,” Zeus says knowingly.“That fi
The Fated Alpha Queen Chapter 114 - The Final Decision
* * * Eve’s POV * * ** * * The Final Decision * * *My heart shatters, my soul is crumbling, and I feel empty while floating in the abyss. There’s a hole in my chest, and I want to die. I want to end my existence so that I can reunite with him again. It was never meant to be him; the Moon Goddess said we would have lots of babies. She lied. The biochemical impact and bodily stress of heartache is an actual injury that one never truly recovers from. I will never recover from this injury and loss. “My child, I did not lie to you,” a voice filled with sadness rings out around the darkness. “You said we would have children. YOU LIED,” I cry. I know she’s the almighty and our object of worship, but right now, I hate her. She chose Max’s fate; she planned to cause me this pain.“No. Max deviated from his predestined path. That’s something I’ve never seen before. He was never meant to die.”“Please just kill me. I don’t want to live in a world without him.”“My dear, you don’t need to liv
The Fated Alpha Queen Chapter 113 - Hunters
* * * Eve’s POV * * * * * * Six Months Later * * * We’ve spent a month up in Scotland at Alpha Darius’s pack. The hunters have been picking off lone wolves, wolves who have wandered beyond the boundary line and any wolves or vampires they come across. Their weapons are designed for one purpose only, to kill. They have been uninterested in peace talks, despite the prime minister and local authorities being involved too. There is very little the human world can do to help. These hunters live off the grid and are funded by businessmen and women with very deep pockets. Occasionally, we have been able to find evidence of those rich people funding the hunts and the government has stepped in to arrest them. The trouble is they seem to multiply, for every head we cut off, two more will take its place. We’ve had several battles with these hunters, we’ve managed to avoid losing lives but there have been a few close calls and injuries sustained. They have remembered which of us have gifts an
The Fated Alpha Queen Chapter 112 - Peace Doesn’t Last
* * * Eve’s POV * * * * * * 12 Months Later * * *“Tea, please,” I call through to the kitchen, after Max has asked me what I’d like to drink. He’s been my rock over the last year, I don’t think I could have survived and done it without him. Well, I could have, but it would’ve been harder. And truthfully, I don’t want to be apart from him. “Some things are only true if you believe they are. Take for example the trojan horse in Greek mythology. Those who believe that others of different ethnicities or faiths are as the Trojans in the wooden horse, waiting for their time to take over society in a bloody massacre, treating those others with suspicion, contempt and prejudice. As that group (or groups) increasingly have less to lose, they form groups for social protection and to challenge the order that suppresses and abuses them. Thus the fear and cold hearted emotional indifference causes the problem. After this point there is continuing consolidation of groups who arm themselves for c
The Fated Alpha Queen Chapter 111 - Show Down
* * * Eve’s POV * * * Horror—the crisis is here. The Beta has created and unleashed rabid wolves within the pack. We all hold a defensive position—half-crouched, our arms extended slightly. They are coming for us. ‘Why?’ I think to myself, wondering why he would do this. The words come through my mind in a snarl that’s louder than I expected. Too loud. ‘I’ve got him. He’s in the armoury,’ Cora growls as she passes this information on to me and the group I’m with. ‘It means that it’s far too late to sneak around now. Most of us need to take on the wolves, and a small group needs to stop the Beta before it’s too late,’ Alpha Paul growls as he assesses the movements of the rabid wolf. Alpha Paul’s body shifts, only infinitesimally, but it tells me where to look. I stare at the black shadows of the Hospital doorway. It’s like having my nightmares walk forward to greet me. Six wolves emerge, eyeing up their prey. My heart beats furiously, loudly, as if to make their target more obvio
