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

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

DAY 19 of The Games TALA My heart was broken, shattered into pieces, my wolf had not stopped whimpering and I had not stopped sobbing. The pain I felt was indescribable. I felt his life end, his essence fade and I felt it to my very core. Maybe because Kellen hadn’t marked me and the mating process wasn’t complete, was why my soul had not ripped in two. Maybe that was the reason I was still alive. But not for long, the air in this box was running out and my breaths had become shallow. How long had I been in here? I didn’t know. All I knew was that I had lost my mate before I even knew him, but that didn’t lessen the love I felt for him. All the hope I had, died that night. All that effort and planning for nothing; was wasted on a whim. The Moon Goddess had taken him from me just as fast as she had given him. I could never forgive her. I had been locked up in a small metal coffin-sized box. Jack had dragged me down here as soon as my father gave the command for Kellen to be whipped

Day 20 of The Games TALA Oliver had placed me in a warm bath and after checking to make sure I was ok, left me to wash the evidence of Jack’s horror off of me. I sat in the tub, after refilling the water twice, scrubbing my limbs free of the red stains that had coated my body. The bath helped to soothe my aches and shakes and after replaying what happened to Kellen and Jack over and over like the nightmare it was, I began to feel my mind calm and sense my wolf getting stronger. I hadn’t by any means, come to terms with the fact my mate had died at the hands of Vargr or that Jack almost raped me and of all people, it was Oliver who saved me. Oliver. He saved me. Without collecting his end of the bargain. I palmed my face, trying to wash away the everlasting tension that was still wracking my body. As much as I appreciate Oliver’s heroic rescue, I could help but wonder why? Why would Oliver save me? Maybe because he hadn’t collected his sacks of diamonds? That had to be it right beca
The Gladiator Wolf King - Book 3 Chapter 39 - The Plan
Day 20 of The Games still KELLEN *Kellen,* Lamia’s sweet voice filtered into my head an instant calmness settled over me and my wolf *Don’t you dare fucking die on me again!* The sweetness was now gone as she scolded me, but still, the tone of relief remained accompanied by her love. *I will try not to* I chuckled back through the mind-link she had established with me. I had almost forgotten that distance had no effect on our ability to connect and it had become much easier since receiving the mark of her Knight, along with being able to link the other three Knights. Again distance did not hinder us in any way, which was why I contacted Mike as soon as I knew the barriers were down and the inhibitor chip had been disengaged. I was still wondering how that had happened. *You died* Lamia replied, reading my thoughts *When your heart stopped, the chip deactivated. Kellen, I could feel your pain. I felt your heart stop* *I’m so sorry* I said, truly meaning it because I was sorry that
The Gladiator Wolf King - Book 3 Chapter 40 – Sealed with a Kiss
OLIVER They didn’t see me follow them. But that’s what I was good at. Sneaking, slipping into the shadows where the darkness supplied a blanket of cover. Hiding. They didn’t scent me. Jack's masking spray coming in handy once again. And they didn’t notice me, crouching on the roof when they left the guard's hut. Listening and watching. The young King had lived, and I really shouldn’t be surprised. With everything I have seen in this twisted world, a wolf such as Kellen coming back from the dead makes total sense, right? Part of me, my wolf, was disgusted that the gods had favored him and was disappointed that he wasn’t six feet under. The other part of me admired his strength. I envied what he had, that he grew up with loving parents, friends, and family, never having to struggle through life. I was born a rogue, my mother was killed by his father. Executed for being a rogue. So I was told by Silas. I wonder if Silas ever knew that I was his son, or if he chose to ignore it like I c

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

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

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
