Alpha Kings POV
I raced down to the safe room using my enhanced speed to check that Nick had gotten my family to safety before he had confronted Jason. As I entered the staircase that led to the safe room my nose was hit with the coppery smell of fresh blood. Fear and anger flooded my senses, and my wolf Maximus was growling in my head. He was just as pissed as I was promising to make Jason and everyone else involved pay.
As I rounded the corner the corridor walls were splattered with blood and the lifeless bodies of two guards were torn apart on the ground.
Maximus spoke in my head telling me what I already knew. The scent from down here wasn’t that of the rogues but of my lifetime friend and beta Jason. I flung the safe room door open and there on the floor was my beautiful mate and queen.
Vanessa was alive but her injuries were bad, she wasn’t healing, and I could smell wolfsbane in her blood.
“That bastard laced the knife in poison” Maximus confirm what I was thinking.
I pulled the sliver knife from her abdomen, the smell of burning flesh entered my nose as it seared the skin in my hand. My face began to feel wet from the tears that fell from my eyes at the sight of Vanessa. I knew she wouldn’t survive this the blood loss was too much and the wolfsbane with silver prevented the healing process from working.
Through our mate bond I could feel her pain, her fear and her anger. She opened her beautiful blue eyes that once looked like the sparkling reflection of the ocean noticing how they had now darkened, tears falling from them onto her beautiful flawless face. She looked at me and with her soft voice she said one thing that made me feel as if my world had ended.
“Angel”.
Had Angel been taken had someone saved her I didn’t know but I promised Vanessa, I would find her. Maximus was using all of his strength to try and come to the surface knowing that our pup was missing, it took every ounce of power I had to hold him back. And with that I felt my heart tear into pieces. My Vanessa slipped away. I felt our bond fade leaving nothing but emptiness and the feeling that half of me had died. I couldn’t hold Maximus back any longer and with a deafening howl I gave him control.
- Luna Queens POV
It had been a long day; I had gone back to my room to settle Angel as the festivities had worn her out and she was beginning to become fussy. There was a sudden knock on the door before it burst open startling me. William had ordered Nick to get me and our daughter to safety so he could lead the road to victory against the rogues that had entered our territory slaughtering a few of the guards that were on patrol.
“Follow me Luna and keep close” Nick shouts as we run down the corridors of the palace.
I had Angel in my arms as she was somehow able to sleep through all of what was happening. Pack warriors rushed past us as they went outside shifting into their wolves heading towards the western borders. I wished that William was coming with us, but I knew that being alpha and king to the royal pack meant he needed to be by his fighter’s sides, giving them strength and courage as he stands with them.
“Luna wait here” Nick whispers in a soft tone, my eyes widened as the smell of rotten eggs came from the staircase leading from the basement.
“Rogues” I replied.
I wished I too could fight beside my pack as I was a skilled warrior before I became a mum. William didn’t like the fact I would fight when needed but he knew he couldn’t stop me. Myself and my wolf Diamond enjoyed the hunt. Diamond was an ivory colour wolf with green eyes that resembled emeralds. I too am the daughter of a pure-blooded alpha, and I was a direct descendant of the moon goddess, meaning I was stronger than many Lunas. My wolfs colour was rare confirming we were of special blood.
As I held Angel closer to my chest Nick rounded the corner my heartbeat thumping away as I hoped that he wouldn’t be overpowered. Growls and whines came from the staircase then all of a sudden Everything went quiet, before finally Nick emerged.
“Right let’s go” Nick said as he led me down the corridor.
There on the ground were the bodies of two rogues, one had fully shifted and by the looks of it the second died while shifting. Nick had been quick to deal with them before they could harm us. Once me and Angel were inside the door was locked. I had asked Nick to go and aid the others knowing no one would be able to get in here. He reluctantly agreed after mind linking his mate, the gamma female Marie asking her to join us as she too was a trained warrior.
It didn’t take long for Marie to arrive; she wasn’t as slim a build as most she-wolves Marie was muscular in build with her red hair styled in a bob due to all the training she went through to join the packs warriors. She didn’t wish to be a mother as she enjoyed the thrill of the fight and feared if she had a pup, she wouldn’t be able to train. Time seemed to pass slowly as we waited to be told it was over. It was then that Myself and Marie got a mind link from Jason our beta that things were ok, and he was coming to escort us back upstairs.
“Do you not think it’s strange that it’s Jason informing us and not our William?” Diamond was concerned but I reminded her we had no reason not to trust Jason. He was after all the beta and Williams best friend.
Just as I opened the door to the safe room, we caught the smell of blood and rogues. We immediately knew something wasn’t right but before we could shut the door Jason had forced it wider open. My eyes widened with shock as I took in the sight before me. Laying on the floor was the two guards Nick had ordered to stand guard both torn apart and their blood covering the floor and walls.
“Why” was all I could say before I felt the burning sensation of something sharp enter my abdomen.
Jason had stabbed me with a silver knife that felt like it had been dipped in wolfsbane as the pain was like nothing I had ever felt before. Diamond whimpered as she too felt the pain as I did. I fell to the floor and looked straight to where Marie was comforting Angel.
“Take Angel and run. Run like you have never run before, please save her” I begged through the mind link.
I could see the tears burning in her eyes knowing she didn’t want to leave me to die her Luna and best friend, but she respected my wish.
- Nicks POV I woke up on the floor, the bite on my shoulder nearly healed already thank the goddess for being a werewolf, if I’d been a human I wouldn’t start to heal for days. I took in my surroundings as I stood up, Jason was gone the window at the end of the corridor smashed so I’m guessing he jumped. I looked out and realised he must have landed on the rose bushes underneath, that would have given him a softer landing with less injuries if any at all. “The Luna’s going to be pissed when she sees them” my wolf Haze chuckled in my head, I nodded in silent agreement. I tried to mind link Marie and her wolf Violet but nothing, it was like I was hit by a wall. I heard movement outside and went to see what it was, a pack warrior was growling as he healed from what seemed to be a broken back leg. He would need to stay this way until fully healed
- Jason’s POV A week after I killed the Luna I decided I would try my luck with the alpha, he would be expecting me to be lay low after what I had done so this was the perfect time. I had spent the last week watching from a distance as the royal pack mourned their loses and even though I felt bad for the rest of the packs families, Blake reminded me that with war there is always casualties. The rogues I joined had set up camp about 5 miles away in a cave that seemed to go on forever with a few tunnels underground. The tunnels were used so that they could travel to certain areas without other wolves catching their scent. It turns out they had been there for quite a while and we never knew about them. We decided it would be best for me to face the Alpha by myself as the stench that they had would give their positions away immediately. I allowed myself to be seen by a guard near the lake kn
- Angels POV ‘BEEP BEEP BEEP’ I opened my eyes just as my alarm went off and yawned soo hard it literally hurt my face. “what are you yawning for you’ve slept for 14hours solid?” Said star. “Not only is it 7.30am but we had an intense sparring session yesterday remember, it wiped me out” I replied. Star is my wolf and first thing in the morning she has attitude, not that I can moan I’m just as bad or so aunt Marie likes to tell me, but I don't mind as she says my dad was exactly the same. I’m seventeen years old and I will be turning 18 in a couple of weeks which means I’ll be able to find my mate. We are supposed to get our wolves when we turn sixteen and that’s also when we shift for the first time but for some reason I got mine when I was t
- Bensons POV “Alright everyone i want you to pair off and not with the same person as yesterday, remember the stances you were shown and use them”I roared at the pack members that were scheduled to train today. Our training sessions were split into different age groups making it easier for us to train everyone. Training started the morning after a pups sixteenth birthday as this is when the moon goddess blessed us with a wolf counterpart, we could tap into our wolves senses when we needed to increasing our hearing, speed and strength. We would train in human form to begin with then learning to train in wolf form once we had mastered the moves and techniques. This way had proven to be the best and had been done ever since Jakes dad John was alpha. Ranked members of the pack however were stronger then the other pack members. I myself am a beta and could beat th
Alice’s POV I could feel myself becoming wet, my panties dripping with my arousal. Bensons eyes turned black with lust as he noticed the scent. He picked me up wrapping my legs around his torso. No matter how many times I had seen this man naked I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to be mated to such a sexy man. Benson was 6ft2 with short black hair which he always had spiked up using way to much gel if you are my opinion, deep chocolate coloured eyes and olive skin. My goddess let’s not forget about those muscles. My man is ripped. As he put us into the bath I moved my hand along his chiseled chest following with a kiss to each part of skin I touched. I slowly moved me hand further down his god like body stopping when my hand came into contact with his hardened member. This man was as hard as steel and I was the only one that could do it to him. I gripped his member with my small hands and slowly began to move it up and down stead
Angels POV My birthday was only three days away, three days until I would hopefully find my mate. That's if he actually resides in this pack. We had been back to the waterfall a couple of times in the last week and saw the sexiest man we had ever seen at least four times. He was easily 6ft2 he had tanned sunkissed skin and short black hair that he combed to the sides. Ok so he had a smaller version of Johnny Bravos hair but it didn't stop him looking hot. He looked like a muscleman with the most interesting tattoo on his chest. It was a wolf howling at the moon. Everything about him sent a fire roaring between my legs. Yes I know hot perverted I sound right now. I don’t know how, but I knew this drop dead gorgeous man was the black wolf we had seen here before. “My goddess I want to come out and play with him” Ok so my wolf is as
Jason’s POV “So Nick and his bitch have been hiding her, can’t say I’m surprised he did go missing shortly after what we did to Alpha William and he always took his position seriously” Blake was right I should tell have know they had her. I had joined up with Wayne and the other wolves I sent out to find Angel. When I found her what I heard angered me. The Alpha of the Moonlight Pack had called her mate just before he shifted and ran off. This wasn’t good it meant I had to get to her before he could claim her, this wasn’t going to be easy. Wolves were possessive creatures but alphas were worse, at least ten times worse. I needed to know where Angel, Nick and Marie were living. It couldn’t have been in the pack house otherwise he would have already claimed her. “I could have sworn her birthday isn’t for anot
Angels POV Uncle Nick had finally told me the big secret that he shared with aunt Marie. I was so angry with both of them. They had kept the truth from me for 16years. I get that they were trying to protect me I do, but it’s information about me about my mum and I deserved to know.“We know now that’s what matters” “I’m Sorry Star I’m just really upset. We always said no secrets then it turns out they have been hiding the biggest one of all” “Calm down let’s go for a run and clear our minds… You need it” “Your right. Let’s go” “Don’t you think we should tell them we are going out?” “Nope, so where are we going” I chuckled. &ldqu
