“Mommy, look at the pretty butterfly.”“Oh, that’s an emerald swallowtail sweetie. Christopher, look at what our daughter has found.” I can hear her voice calling out to my father, but I am enthralled with the beautiful green wings of the delicate creature in front of me.Today is my 10th birthday and my parents always bring me to Century Park to celebrate. The park is one of my favorite places, because there is always something to do or something new to see. I love watching the river from the gazebo and seeing the ducks float lazily along. The people milling about on the walking paths, and the birds flitting through the trees. Even though my parents are the Alpha and Luna of our pack, they always take my birthday as a special day for just us.Out of nowhere, there is a really loud bang, and it immediately catches my attention. I jerk my head around to see my father falling to the ground, my mother rushes to him, but there is another really loud bang and she falls next to him. All at

“Daddy are you sure you sent all of the invitations out? Today has to be perfect, I could find my mate you know.” I had to keep myself from rolling my eyes as I served Julie her breakfast. She was rambling on to her father, my uncle and the Alpha of our pack about how today had to be perfect for her. Jealousy rolled through my body, causing bile to back up into my mouth. Julie and I shared the same birthdate, exactly one year apart. No one cared that my 18th birthdate had come and passed or that today was also my birthday. All attention was firmly on Julie, like always. “Julie, you have nothing to worry about. All the invitations were sent out. The catering was booked, the event center was decorated by the best party planners, and no expense was spared for your special day. In fact, I even sent invitations to the royal lycan family.” My Uncle Robert proudly told Julie.My Aunt and Uncle took me in after my parents were tragically murdered in Century Park. By birthright, since my fath

The events center in Century Park was exquisitely decorated. Alpha had spared no expense in the details. Even the walkway leading up to the doors was carefully crafted to be bathed in soft glowing light. Cascading twinkling lights fell elegantly along the front of the events center building, creating the illusion of stepping into a fairytale. Bittersweet memories floated through my mind as I let myself inside. If my parents were alive, this would be the type of party they would have thrown for me.Shrugging off the thoughts of what could have been, I quickly found the catering staff to ensure that everything was in order. After that, I checked with the event planner, made some last-minute changes to the seating chart, and checked in with some of the other Omegas. After all, we would be the ones helping to serve the visiting pack members. For a brief moment, I wondered if the Lycan family would truly show up.The Lycans are the purest of the wolf shifters. Although we share a lot of si

It took me a few moments to gather myself in the kitchen area. Rage, grief, and fear coursed through my bloodstream with every beat of my heart. It was like losing my parents all over again. Why did the Moon Goddess have to be so cruel? Knowing that Julie was wearing my mother’s jewelry was killing me.The guests soon started to arrive, and the music started vibrating through the event center. People were packing in and eagerly greeting my Uncle in hopes that their sons may be a match with Julie. Making a match with Julie meant that they would have an alliance with our pack. Although fighting amongst packs was rare, there was always the threat of humans, rogues, and other creatures.I, along with the other Omegas, started serving out drinks to the honored guests. We made sure that we kept our eyes downward so as not to offend anyone of ranking. By happenstance, I glanced up and caught Julie’s eye. She smirked at me from across the room as she was showing off the bracelet on her arm t

No one knew that I had even left earlier. Julie was too enthralled with Nathan to realize that I had left my post. She was parading him around to her friends. My Uncle was busy being congratulated on the wonderful match with his daughter, and my aunt was busy talking with the other Alpha’s wives. I was trying to be invisible, but my eyes were searching for the handsome man that had been kind to me outside.My voyeurism was interrupted by loud gasps and then everything got very quiet and the music even stopped. The room was staring at the front entrance doors. The silence was finally broken by a man that looked almost dwarfish in appearance as he stood in front of a rather tall and intimidating-looking man.“Announcing the royal Lycan family.” People around the room bowed their heads in honor of the royal family visiting. Once the moment passed, the music started again and the crowd surged towards the door, eager for a glance at the royals. I had no interest in the royals. I just wante

My body hurt, more than usual. I could hear voices, and I was struggling to open my eyes but my body did not seem to want to comply. I knew that something was not right, but my brain was very foggy. Eventually, I got my eyelids to comply but as soon as I opened my eyes, there was a blinding light and I quickly shut them again. The brightness caused an immediate migraine, and I groaned in pain.“I think she is coming to,” I could hear a man say but the smallest of noise caused the pain in my head to get worse. “I will give her another dose of sedative. I don’t believe that she should be awake yet.” Those were the last words I heard before slipping back into the dark.Pierce’s POVI could not explain how I knew she was in trouble at that party, but I did. Her fear practically choked me and I knew that something was terribly wrong. It did not take long to track her down and I broke that door off the hinges. The sight before me brought on a rage that I had never felt before. Seeing her ly

I followed my mother into the den, where my father was already pouring himself a glass of Brandy. To my chagrin, Emery also followed us in. Although he was next in line for power, there were times when I wished I could have private conversations with my parents. Unfortunately, when you're considered royalty, it seems that nothing is ever truly private.“There is something familiar about that girl. I assume that she hails from the Half Moon pack.” My father’s deep baritone voice travels easily through the room.“That is the general assumption that I have,” Emery answered him.“I haven’t visited the pack since Helen was killed. Perhaps I should have been keeping a closer eye on them,” my mother states in a wistful voice.“I never liked Christopher’s brother, so I have not associated with them for a long time. Pity about what happened to Chris and his wife, they were good people.” my father answers her.“Not to interrupt, but who are Christopher and Helen and what is our association with

I watched her sleep through the night, refusing to leave her room. I blamed myself for this happening to her. I should have never let her go after she ran into me outside that damn party. I could tell she was upset. Hell, she had been crying. The moment she ran into me, I felt a zing throughout my entire body, and Lucarius, my wolf, started jumping in excitement. I knew there was something different about her, but it was difficult for me to accept that she was my mate, even through Lucarius had been prancing and saying so. How could this small creature be my fated mate?In sheer size alone, I am a giant next to her. She is so wispy and thin, I feel like if I touch her wrong, she will shatter like glass. Will she accept me? I have no real experience with women. Girls threw themselves at Emery because he was next in line to be king, but somehow, I scared women. The only woman I was close to besides my mother was my cousin Felicity and half the time, I would not call her a woman. I didn’

Jadenne’s Point of ViewWaiting for Pierce felt like an eternity. Felicity tried to keep me occupied but my mind was still reeling from meeting his mother and learning that she was friends with my mother. I had known that my father had strengthen ties with the royal Lycan family and I remember them visiting once when I was young, but the way the Queen spoke was as if she and my mother were very close. I had so many questions, but I wasn’t even sure if it was appropriate for me to ask.For so long I haven’t been able to speak about my parents. When my Uncle assumed the role of Alpha he did not want to hear about my father. People said that it was grief, but as I got older, I always thought it was jealousy. He didn’t like if soldiers mentioned my father, or even his Beta. I was beaten thoroughly if I brought my parents up, either by my Uncle or Julie. My Uncle had removed their photos, my Aunt had redecorated and arranged the house, and before long it was almost as if my parents hadn’t

Pierce’s Point of ViewI hated leaving Jadenne. I could feel her confusion and hurt through the mate bond. If I was being honest this whole ordeal has me reeling and completely frustrated. Granted I had never really worried about having a mate before, but now that I do all I want to do is protect her, and yet I seem to be failing miserably.“William their treatment of her must be answered for, I demand it.” My mother was standing in front of my father’s desk with her hands on her hips tapping her foot as if he was a pertinent child she caught in the cookie jar. If the entire statement had not been about my mate, I may have found the situation funny.My father sighed deeply sitting in his chair and putting his hands over his face. “Castine sit down please. I understand that you are upset, but right at the moment we have a few situations that need to be discussed.” He was trying to placate her. My mother listened though and sat down and my father filled her in on the information that Em

Jadenne’s Point of ViewI hadn’t known who the woman embracing me was until Pierce said mother. This was the Lycan Queen holding me, crying, and apologizing to me. I have no idea why she is telling me that she is sorry, but her embrace is motherly and I am enjoying it. At first I hadn’t returned her embrace because she had taken me by surprise, but I was slightly surprised that my arms had found their own way around her returning the affection. It took a moment before she pulled away, tears still evident on her face.“Sorry if I have scared you child, but I can see her so clearly in your face.” She softly brought her hand up and caressed my cheek. “I am terribly sorry that I did not look after you myself. When your mother died, I had heard that you were taken in by your family and naturally assumed that you would be loved and cherished.”Her words finally dawned on me and I couldn’t

Pierce’s Point of View I followed Emery into my father’s study and saw that he was already waiting for us. He poured drinks for Emery and me. That was my first clue that he had news that he knew I would not take very well. He wasted no time getting to the point.“Let me first congratulate you on finding your fated mate son. Having a mate is a true blessing and I hope that you both find happiness with each other.” Emery and I grabbed our glasses as my father made his toast. “Now, we need to get down to business. Pierce, I understand that you have already questioned the prisoner. Your brother has informed me that, according to the prisoner, Julie was involved in the incident concerning your mate. As Emery has already told you, this raises some serious concerns.” My father placed his glass down on his desk before taking a seat. “We are placed in a rather precarious position. From what I understand, Julie is not only Robert’s daughter but also the mate to the young Alpha Nathan of the Go
The Feral Mark of the Lycan Chapter Fourteen
Pierce’s Point of View Jadenne asking me about the prisoner brought me back into reality. My heart was heavy knowing that there were a lot of unanswered questions that I needed to ask her, and I felt guilty over not being able to protect her. We didn’t talk as we gathered our clothes and redressed. If her stomach had not grumbled, I would have kept her in bed all day. It is crazy that I never really wanted a mate, but now that I have one, I can’t seem to keep my hands off of her. Once we were clothed, I grabbed her hand and led her down into the large kitchen. Felicity and Emery were both already there.“I had all the bags carried in but Emery said that we should wait for you guys to finish before they were taken upstairs.” I watched a blush flush across Jadenne’s face at Felicity’s words.“Thank you, I will make sure everything is taken care of.” In truth, I had not thought about the fact that Jadenne would share my room now. Everything had happened so fast that I haven’t had a mome

Pierce carried me up the stairs and into a room that I had not been in before. I quickly assumed from the scent that it was his actual bedroom. Pierce gently pushed the door shut with his foot. Once the latch clicked, Pierce bent his head down and inhaled deeply, pressing his nose against my collarbone and neck.“I could smell your arousal bunny.” His husky words brought a deep blush to my face, but I could not deny the truth as another wave of heat spread down my body. Pierce captured my lips swiftly with his in a hard, demanding kiss that only fanned the heat flowing through my body. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him in deeper and inviting his tongue into my mouth. I moaned into his mouth as his tongue danced with mine. Pierce broke the kiss long enough to move us towards the large bed that was against the wall. He gently put me down on the bed.I kicked my shoes off quickly and started to scoot back on the bed but Pierce stopped my movements. He unbuttoned my jeans and

Jadenne’s Point of ViewI had forgotten how exhausting shopping could be. Felicity was great and she really got me out of my shell. It did not take her long to realize that I was not fully comfortable with what we were doing and she really helped me along. She had a vibrant and bubbly personality, but she was also confident and gave off a don’t mess with me attitude flawlessly. I instantly liked her, although I was intimidated at first.She was patient with me when we went to the first shop, and I really did not know what to do. For years the only clothes I had had were the ones passed down from Julie, which were full of holes or too small. It didn’t take Felicity any time at all to fill a cart with clothes. Then we headed to the dressing rooms. Felicity made changing into the outfits fun, and we even danced around a bit.“You should smile more, you have a pretty smile.” She told me. We were at the last of the pile of clothing to try on at the second boutique. I wasn’t sure what to sa

Pierce’s Point of ViewLucarius was jumping around in my head all day, excited to go on a long run with our mate. He had already informed me that he had communicated with her wolf and her name was Shilo. I would love to put everything on the back burner and take Jadenne for her first run immediately but unfortunately, there were some rather pressing matters at hand.Before I took Jadenne back to the Half Moon pack to gather her belongings, I wanted some answers from the pathetic swine we were holding. I had linked with Felicity earlier to ask her if she would take Jadenne shopping so that she could get some clothes and I could finally get some answers. Of course, Felicity jumped at the chance to get to know my mate.I hated seeing my beautiful mate put on the torn clothes she had worn that night. Yet another reminder that I had failed to protect her. Walking up behind her, I can’t help but bend over and wrap my arms around her placing my head on top of hers. I don’t think I will ever

I woke up pressed against what felt like a hard, warm wall. It took a few moments to realize that the wall was moving. Peering up, I stared at the most gorgeous face. The previous events came flooding back into my mind and I buried my head in his chest as my cheeks flushed. I could not believe that I had slept with a Lycan Prince.Goddess help me, he is going to lose his mind when he realizes that he slept with a lowly servant. How could I allow this to happen? I recall the doctor’s words that if I had not slept with Pierce, I would have died. I truly feel like once Pierce knows who I am truly, I will die anyways.I recall him saying that he thought he was my mate, and there is no doubt that he smelled amazing. I never knew that cedar and sandalwood could smell so good together. I inhale deeply, truly reveling in the scent of him.You need to complete the mark.I jumped a little, wondering where the voice was coming from.My name is Shilo, I am your wolf, but I cannot come to you full
