Jake’s POV
Hunter lunged for Wayne, the sight of him touching our mate sent him into overdrive. I could see he was stitching her wound shut to help it heal but Hunter was blinded with too much rage and didn’t care for his reasons.
“Hunter NO” Angel shouted as she shoved him away blocking his path to Wayne.
Forcing the shift back into human form I grabbed a blanket from the floor and wrapped it around my bottom half. Walking over to Angel I glared at Wayne as I remembered he was present in the room while Nick was tortured, doing nothing to help him remaining in the shadows. As I kneeled in front of her Wayne stepped out of arms reach sensing the anger flowing from my alpha aura. Inspecting Angel’s wound I was surprised she hadn’t been killed. The incision must have been four inches deep, she was lucky as had it been an inch to the right it would have hi
Benson’s POVWe had been on the move for nearly two hours and were almost at the Royal Kingdom. The whole journey the mind link had been quiet, we didn’t want to be distracted incase we became ambushed. As we came to the last set of trees, we peered through to see a massive wall that looked as if it went on for miles. How we were supposed to get past that I had no clue but knowing Jake and William they would have had a solution. Behind the wall you could see a massive palace set further back almost in the center of the territory. Not to sound like a girl but it really did look like something out of a fairytale. From here it looked as if it had six towers each coming to a point on the roof, a flag with the royal symbol flying from each tower. Grand windows lined the white brick wall which faced us so I could only imagine what the other side and interior would look like. To the top of the palace were what looked like a
Rita’s POVAfter the shock of finding out I had a second chance mate had worn off I couldn’t be happier. Not in my wildest of dreams did I think that at my age I would ever get the chance at love again. Finding out that William was actually the Alpha King didn’t shock me as much as it should have, I had felt the power emitting from him but wasn’t able to place what it was. When I came clean and told him I wasn’t human like many believed he didn’t understand. The moment I shifted his eyes pretty much bulged out of his head. I was a silver wolf; we were a rare breed of wolf and created for one purpose. We were to protect gifted wolves with ties to the moon goddess, hence our name, Moon Protector.The moment I met Angel I knew exactly who she was, she was the daughter of Queen Vanessa and the grand-daughter of Selena. The day her mother died had haunted me, Selena had come to me and told m
Jake’s POV The second I heard Star yelp I felt a wound open on my back causing my heart sank into the pit of stomach, I could only pray to the goddess that the knife hadn’t been laced in poison. Getting to her as quick as I could Hunter gave me back control so I could shift and pull the knife from her back. I watched as her Stars back healed letting out a sigh of relief knowing it was only a silver knife nothing else. Suddenly, a silver wolf flew into the man that stabbed Star tearing his throat out before knocking his now limp body aside. I couldn’t believe my eyes; I knew silver wolves existed at one point in time, but they were thought to be extinct. “Moon Protector” Hunter told me, I bowed my head to it as a thankyou and a sign of respect. Star jumped back onto her paws and looked at the silver wolf before nuzzling into it causing me to let out a low growl. This wolf may be a M
Jason’s POV “He’s your dad?” Jake and Angel shouted in unison while looking utterly shocked. “Well would you look at that ha-ha. Your life does hold a purpose after all. Perhaps keeping that whore around was the right thing to do after all” I told Ariel. Ariel had been the product of a visit I made to an unmated she-wolf. I had met her when I was twenty-six and angry, I didn’t have a mate and I knew she hadn’t found hers either. I was aware she had been crushing on me since she became of age so I figured I may as well give her a go. Her name was Jules, she wasn’t the prettiest of she-wolves by any stretch. She had short dark brown hair and brown eyes, a very plain jane but she took my mind off Vanessa and everything else. Each time I had the urge to take Vanessa and make her choose me before she was officially marked by William, I turned and went to Jules instead. The day she told
Sid’s POVThe second Ariel’s rejection of our mate bond her lips, those perfect lips, I feel to the ground. Curling into the fetal position as the pain was intense, I had received numerous injuries during my life but this, this was worse than anything I had ever experienced before. Tan was whining in my head while trying to take control. He wanted nothing but to shift and chase after her demanding she take back the rejection.“How could she have the strength to run off, we are hurting she should be too” Tan whimpered.“I don’t know, I don’t think she has ever trusted anyone in her life judging by how her own father treated her. Maybe she built a wall surrounding herself to prevent her feeling pain” I told him.“That’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard. This is all your fault had you stopped Star and Hunt
Williams POVAfter the way Sid spoke to Jake and Angel, he shifted and ran off leaving Jake furious. He ordered two of the pack trackers he bought with him to track him down and bring him back. I knew how he felt, I know how hard it was to cope with the pain after Vanessa died and being as his mate only rejected him, I knew he would be ok after a short period of time. I wasn’t sure why Ariel had rejected Sid though. I know she used her father now being dead as the reason, yet I couldn’t fathom why that mattered to her. By the way he spoke to her and the state her face was in whilst it healed from whatever beating she had endured, it was clear to everyone present that Jason held no love nor remorse towards her.Ariel looked to be the same age as Angel which meant she had to have been born well before Jason took over the Royal Kingdom. Not once during our ‘friendship’ did he revel that he had been se
Angel’s POV“OMG my eyes! That is something I will never be able to unsee” I tell Jake as I make gagging noises while we run away.“Babe its normal, their mates you know how the marking process works. Besides you have seen him naked when he shifts back from Maximus”“That different Jake. I turn around until he is covered. Believe me seeing your parent like that isn’t something you want to see” I tell him.“Like what? Naked or doing the sexy time” Jake said as he shook his hips whilst wiggling his eyebrows.“Both”“I have seen both of my parents naked, and when I was younger I walked in on them having sex at least three times. After the last time they locked the door. Anyway, you wouldn’t have seen anything you didn’t want to see if you h
Jake’s POV “F*ck” I muttered while shaking my hand out. “Where the hell did he come from? Did you see the size of his wolf?” Angel asked while checking my hand. “Babe please I’m fine. That f*cker was huge. I didn’t sense any alpha or other rank in him so how the f*ck he came to be that size is beyond me” I told her while looking for some rope. Angel mind-linked William while I secured the wolf with the help of Alpha Rick. He to was surprised when I told him that his wolf was bigger than Hunter. Even in human form the guy was large. Being an Alpha, having a larger build was in my DNA but this guy wherever he came from was slightly bigger than me and boy did he pack a punch. He had rendered Hunter unconscious making me force the shift back into human form. As Rick and I dragged his sorry arse to the interrogation room we heard banging from the next room.
