Jakes POV
The moment Angel and I accepted each other in front of the pack I was hit by a sudden surge of energy. I didn’t know how to explain it, but I felt different. Stronger in every way. Elder Toms jaw dropped as he looked at me making me worry something had gone wrong.
“Your eyes… they are glowing red” Angel whispered.
“It’s our connection to the royal bloodline syncing with our own DNA. Look at the way William’s eyes glow red when he shifts into Maximus. They stay red until William regains control, we will be the same now I can feel it… the strength, the power” Hunter says calmly, at least one of us knew what the hell was happening.
Looking out over the pack I could hear their hushed mumbles before those in wolf form looked to the moon and began to howl. Their eyes were also glowing only they were all brig
Wayne’s POV“Alpha it’s done” I mind linked Jason to let him know I had done what he asked.“Good. Did they find her?”“Yes Alpha. The pack Beta found her while on patrol, he must have informed his Alpha as he and the Princess arrived shortly after”“Good work Wayne, now whatever plan they had conducted to overthrow me will be thrown off, hurry up and get back before your scent returns. You know what will happen if you decide to stay and divulge any information to them”“Yes, Alpha I’m on my way”The second I felt Jason end the mind link I sat on the ground and cradled my head between my knees. Marie had been good to me before Jason ran them out after ‘killing’ William. I know it wasn’t me personally that killed her,
Nick’s POVWhy did I have to intervene? Why couldn’t I have just ignored them and walked away? So many things were going through my head and not one of them were good. I was going out of my mind. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Marie begging for her life, begging not to be violated and each time I woke up I hoped it had been a dream, yet I knew it wasn’t. I don’t know how many hours it’s been since that bastard took my wife’s life destroying me in the process, but it felt like days. Jason’s Beta, Roger came by earlier and took Marie’s body away, she had been left cuffed to her chair for me to look at in the hopes I too would beg for my life. As broken as I was there was no way in hell, I was giving him that satisfaction. I was snapped out of my thoughts as the door opened and the bright ceiling lights were turned on, being as there were no windows in this room, I had no idea wha
Jake’s POVHunter 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
