JwgstoutFinally!!! it has been confirmed, you all knew it though. The question is what happens next? And poor Ajani! I'm so sorry, I know a few hoped for a different turnout for him. Please leave me a gem if you enjoyed this chapter, and leave a comment. The story has been slow so far, but not anymore, What next could Vargr and Jack do?

Day 14 of The Gladiator Games KELLEN The atmosphere amongst the Gladiators in the barracks was somber, to say the least. Not that any of us were ever really charismatic being enslaved. Ajani’s death had hit our hearts and the reality of our situation was once again shoved in our faces. We had lost Gladiators previously and we all acknowledged each of their deaths. No death was good and each man we lost to the games sat heavy in our hearts and minds. We had become an unaffiliated pack of sorts. However, Ajani had been a strong fighter the Gladiators looked up to him and they all knew he was not in top shape when he went out to fight, that was one reason why I was taking his death harder more than the others. The other reason kept playing in my head over and over like a film being rewound. He had saved my life in the arena. We both could have been dead if it wasn’t for him. Rogue sat by me, he had been by my side since I walked off the arena floor, patting my shoulder as I passed thr

Day 15 of The Gladiator Games TALA “Eloise! Tala!” Jasper's frantic voice could be heard along with his hurried footsteps. We didn’t get a chance to see him yesterday and he had put a block up to us. So when he sent us a mind link early in the morning to meet him at our usual nook in the library, Eloise and I had rushed here. “Jasper, what’s wrong?” My friend rushed to his side quickly seeing the panic in his eyes and the distress that his whole posture held. His light green eyes were rimmed red from exhaustion and his brown hair was ruffled like he had been grabbing it all night. “Jasper…” The state of his discountenance caused my own heart to flutter with anxiety. Something had really unsettled him. He shook his head seeming perplexed “He is going to kill him,” “Who?” Both Eloise and I said before Jasper could even utter another word. “He knows, fuck, he knows he is your mate Tala! He is going to kill him today if he survives the arena. He is making him fight again, changed
The Gladiator Wolf King - Book 3 Chapter 32 – The Second Gift
KELLEN I felt Rogue's worry and deep concern as Teal dropped the bomb on me “He knows she is your mate.” He had coughed up when he came too. “He will fight you, he will kill you.” Teal’s pained-filled words had sat heavily on my mind since he uttered them this morning. Rogue was clearly upset and I wished we could somehow converse. I may understand him better now, but I needed words, it was important to me that I had his opinion, not just give him commands or tell him what to do. I was definitely missing my Beta at this moment. Everything I did, every decision I made was with Mike’s input. We were a team and I valued his advice. I valued Rogues too, more so now that Ajani was no longer with us, but the communication barrier with Rogue hindered me: us. I found myself wandering the common area, gathering my thoughts, the sharp and shiny sword the old woman had bestowed upon me, twirling in my hand. My mind was on the fight that I was being thrown into this afternoon; There was no way
The Gladiator Wolf King - Book 3 Chapter 33 – The Death of Kellen
KELLEN The creatures stalked towards me and I cast my eyes to the sky, sending out a prayer that I hoped would reach the ears of the gods and they would favor me. In the distance, I saw a mass of darkness, a shelf cloud that was rolling in from the north and heading our way. My shallow breaths halted as I registered the ominous doomsday storm approaching. The screech of the creatures brought me tumbling back to the now and, again, for the umpteenth time I raised my sword and planted my feet, readying for the attack. My mind went a mile a minute as I tried to gauge the movements of the monstrosities I faced. The first one leaped in the air, snapping its jaws as his body flung itself in my direction. As the creature came down to pounce, I swung my sword wounding the thing and twisting as it landed beside me on all fours. Its paw reached out swiping my stomach and it felt like a billion hot needles poking into my skin at once. I didn’t look down instead I attacked the creature at full
The Gladiator Wolf King - Book 3 Chapter 34 – The Queen and the fourth Knight
MATHIAS Things had not been going according to plan. I thought after Riocht things would get easier, or at least Lamia and I would find some normalcy in life. How wrong I was. The life of a King and Queen would always be anything but normal. We had been crowned the King and Queen of shifters and the work began to pile up. That wouldn’t be so bad, but Lamia was heavily pregnant with triplets, who according to the doctor had grown at an exceedingly faster than normal rate and seemed convinced that she was further along than we originally thought. We thought she had conceived when we were at MacTire before the battle, however, if we put the timeline back to the first time we mated it was in January, we were now in June. A few days later we completed the bonding in Avalon, her heat never fully surfacing because our souls bonded. Maybe that’s when she fell pregnant? She was almost at full term if she carrying pups, and another month to two if she was carrying cubs. I had the doctor perf
The Gladiator Wolf King - Book 3 Chapter 35 – The Bond of the Knights
TOBIAS Hunji and I were walking behind Mike and Jonda, we were on our way back to the Inn. We had just come from a meeting with Alpha John, Jonda’s brother, where we had been discussing where the three units of warriors would stay when they arrived tomorrow. After learning that Vargr was an Alpha to a kingdom in Bhakhil, the information supplied by Finnegan and related to us by Mathias, Mike didn’t want to wait another minute to head out and find King Kellen. Every second was a delay in bringing his friend home, so Jonda secured a charter boat for us and we were to leave first thing in the morning. Hunji and I were not keen on the idea that Jonda would be accompanying us. She couldn’t shift and her werewolf abilities were barely there, making her more human than shifter. It was too dangerous for her and we did not want to have to worry about another body. Mike, on the other hand, was so besotted with her that he overruled us and was excited that his little love interest would be j

Day 17 of The Games KELLEN “Kellen Moon” A voice in the void whispered. The moon goddess was calling me home. “Kellen Moon” the soft feminine voice called my name. It was so calming, so comforting that I began to search for it in the darkness. A faint glow began to emerge from the depths of the surrounding blackness. It was warm and it pulled me in. So I went to it, letting the slowly brightening light pull me in. I felt content and happy as my bones began to warm the closer we got to the ever-growing glow of luminosity. “Kellen,” The voice was a little louder and as the darkness around me faded and turned to a cozy and agreeable brightness, I squinted my eyes, suddenly finding myself in a well-lit room. I looked around, finding my surroundings familiar, as I cast my vision over the rows upon rows of books. “Kellen!” This time the voice was abrupt and I swung around expecting the person to be right behind me. Instead, my gaze landed on a pair of high-back leather chairs, seated in
The Gladiator Wolf King - Book 3 The story of: INANNA & CONRI
In the last chapter, you read where Ashe began to Kellen the story of Inanna and Conri, I did not want to make that chapter too long for readers and decided to put it separately as a free chapter. I did want to give you a little insight into the history of those two, and I hope all your memories are good, from reading the first and second books and the fairytale Tawny told them all while sitting in the gym. ***** Told to Kellen by Ashe/Odeia Many moons ago, when the realm was still young and the gods still walked amongst the humans, In a land called Heartme, which you know as the Sea dogs Island, by chance, the goddess Inanna was wandering about the mortal realm of shifters and humans, met a mortal king called Conrad (Conri) Their love was forbidden, as Inanna’s father had already promised her to a war god. Yet Inanna could not deny her obsession with the handsome, fierce king. Likewise, the King, Conrad was enthralled with her beauty Falling in love with her at first sight. Her bl

I was already a day behind, the truck I had been given by the now Alpha Jasper of Bhakhil, broke down yesterday morning. Caused me to run in wolf form, find a cave in the foothills of the Andora mountain range and rest for the night. At first light I shifted into my wolf, letting Ruda lead the way, once again. Some hours later, well into the late afternoon, we had made our way to the first city, only a couple of hundred miles outside the capital where the Megaron was situated in Bozgvol. I shifted back into my human form behind a house on the outskirts and threw on the loose pair of pant
The Gladiator Wolf King - Book 3 Chapter 57 – Epilogue 2
KELLEN I stare down at the little bundle in my arms, his eyes struggling to open and his mouth straining to yawn. I welcomed the smile that spread across my face as I took in his wrinkled face and hands. His eyes blinked open and already only a few hours old they were brilliant pools of blue, somewhere between the color of mine and Talas. I stole a glance at his mother, who looked at us with adoring eyes that sparkled with love and happiness mirroring my own. “What shall we name him?” Tala asked, adjusting her position to sit up a little better. I sat on the side of the bed cradling our son in my arms. Jonda had come in to meet her nephew and stepped out when Tala had dozed off after giving birth, to give us privacy and to call Mike, who was on his way back here. “I’m not sure” I spoke gently, still enamored with my son and his small movements, eyes trained on him. It's strange how I thought I would never feel love like I did for Lamia, then in one crazy turn of events, I was whis

I was dangerously close to losing my cool. Who am I kidding I had already lost it about two hours ago. “Ahh come on Mike, your my favorite turd, I wouldn’t shit you.” He laughed. “Fuck you, Rhett, this is not cool. Can’t you handle it? The fucking crowning ceremony is ruined, and now a fucking murder? The party hadn’t even started for Goddess's sake!” Yep, I had most definitely lost my cool. ”F

3 Weeks Later KELLEN “Ready?” I asked Tala “Yeah,” She squeaked excitedly bouncing on her feet, hardly containing her excitement. We had been out on runs together several times over the last three weeks, but for some reason, today she was overly excited. Lamia, King, Tobias, and the babies had left a week and a half ago, permanently moving to Riocht. Unfortunately, that meant Aunt Vivian went with her, and Uncle Marcus was going to follow behind them once he had everything organized here. I was going to miss them. The palace would seem even emptier now. I had spoken to Tawny. I didn’t like her position, but she was tough and she knew what she was doing. She could handle herself, when she needed me I would be there for her, It satisfied me to hear she was planning on heading to Riocht in the next coming days to meet the kids. It warmed my heart knowing Lamia and Tawny had formed an unbreakable friendship, that no matter what they would always have each other, thinking of them had

1 WEEK LATER HUNJI “Congratulations again your highness, I looked forward to returning and meeting the three of them.” I ended the call with Lamia. I was still trying to wrap my head around the fact the young Queen had given birth to triplets and was thankful the little girl had survived. I shoved the satellite phone into my backpack, along with the power bars, two bottles of water, and a change of clothes. My swords were already attached to my back. It wasn’t much for the journey I was about to embark on but then I was hoping to make quick work of finding Finn’s sister and bring her back in as less time as possible. “Do you have everything you need?” Jasper asked me walking into his office. “Yes Alpha, as much as I need to carry.” I zipped up the bag replying to him. I had spent a little over a week here; helping the new Alpha and his Luna adjust. Kellen had left a handful of his warriors here and a Gladiator named Corey had decided to stay in Bhakhil now it was under the rein o

OLIVER How Ironic, that Alpha Travis would have me put in the same cell that I once had him held in for months. It took us four days of traveling to get back to MacTire. At first, I laughed that they would take me back to the place I grew up in. I knew every single inch of that castle, every nook, every cranny, every secret passage, and tunnel. It would be easy to break out of their cells and leave the dungeons, I knew the mechanisms by heart. How wrong I was. I realized it was idiotic for me to think they would not have made upgrades and changes to the castle. I understood that as soon as the guards led me down below and into the dungeons, bringing me to Travis’ old cell. There were new barred doors and the floor had been painted with silver, leaving a small strip for a prisoner to walk on. I was stripped down and hosed down, then given a pair of thin shorts and shoved into my new home. There was no way I was breaking out of this cell. A cot, a chair, and a bucket were all that fu
The Gladiator Wolf King - Book 3 Chapter 52 – Happy Birthday
KELLEN 11.45 PM my watch read. I lowered my arm exposing the moon high above me; she looked like she was smiling tonight. The birth of triplets had probably pleased the moon goddess. The chosen Queen had done well and at only two days old they were able to determine their races. The Eldest and biggest, Zachary would have the spirit of a bear, taking after his father. Maximus, the second eldest and only slightly smaller than his brother was a wolf and the smallest and prettiest, Amali also smelled as if she would be a wolf but her scent was different from her brothers, perhaps she would be a Dire wolf like her mother, or a Lycan, also from her mother’s side. Of course, she could just be an ordinary werewolf too. But I didn’t think so. She was special, maybe because she held my name and I was biased? I would spoil all Lamia’s children, but mostly her. Both boys had been born with the mark of a royal, their little crown birthmarks sitting on their hips just like mine and Lamia’s. I w
The Gladiator Wolf King - Book 3 Chapter 51 – The Next Generation
KELLEN We were all currently gathered in the Beta’s suite that was on the opposite end of the hall to the Delta’s suite where Lamia had been in labor for several hours now and our women, along with several pack doctors, had been coming in and out there gathering all the necessities to deliver the triplets. They were concerned about the third baby, it was so tiny, and the doctors worried about the child being underdeveloped and not making it. They wanted to take her to the pack infirmary, yet moving her could endanger the smallest child, or worse rupture something in Lamia. So she would be giving birth here. I, like the other men who gathered in the Beta suite, for some reason thought this would be quick. We were all concerned for Lamia, but it gave us all a chance to talk and catch up, keeping the business conversation light and focusing on the more meaningful conversations, yet subjects will come up and I couldn’t ignore my duty for long. By tomorrow I would be back to being a King
The Gladiator Wolf King - Book 3 Chapter 50 – The Queen of shifters
TALA We arrived at a port on the mainland a day and a half later, both Tobias and Fergus (I refused to call him Rogue) were more than happy to be on dry land again, and much to my amusement, they both bent down and kissed the ground. “It wasn’t that bad.” I laughed at them “You just need to find your sea legs” “Easy for you to say princess, you were born with sea legs. It's in your blood” Tobias pointed at me giving me a non-amused glare. “I was born in a desert Tobias, no matter who my father was. I had never even seen a body of water, especially the ocean since I left Bhakhil. Just because my real father was a Sea Dog, it doesn’t mean anything.” “It means everything. I personally am a mountain bear. I prefer the cold weather and the streams full of fish, not on a vessel in the middle of nowhere floating for the sharks to come eat.” I rolled my eyes at Tobias “Stop being a big baby,” I jested to the overly large bear shifter who was friendly, and most of the time, when he wasn’t
