and one more!
ROYCE. We head out, and me and Leo are in the front since it’s a tad tight in the back, although I think I could have cramped in if it meant being near my woman. The venue is about a ten-minute drive from the Rossi Mansion, still on the premises of the Night Walkers pack lands. It gives me the time to think over what is to come. Tonight, I will tell Mom, Dad’s truth… Will I break her? Will she walk on in life with the same haunting look that Maria Rossi holds? That is a look that I will never forget, no matter how well she tries to hide it… Am I doing the right thing? Or should I have given her more time to prepare? I no longer know… Skyla’s hand slips around the side of the seat, and I take it, trying to rein in my emotions so she doesn’t feel them. She doesn’t need the extra burden, she has enough going on. “What’s on your mind?” Leo asks quietly, his eyes on the road. I glance across at him. He’s in full black and the silence of the car is loud. “Mom… I don’t know how she
SKYLA.I don’t know what it is… but the moment when he looks over his shoulder, something inside of me makes my heart clench.The distance between us suddenly feels terrifyingly huge and for the first time I ask myself, what are we without the one we love?“Sky…” Azura tugs me inside and the door slam shuts behind me, making my head jerk up.My breath hitches, and I stop in my tracks. I suddenly feel… I don’t know, I’m unable to explain it.I glance back at the door.“Hey… what’s wrong?” Azura asks softly, as both look at me intently.I shake my head. I don’t know… I don’t know what’s wrong with me… I just…“He’ll be fine. He’s one of the strongest people I have come across.” Leo says quietly.“Yeah… I know… I just… it’s fine.”It isn’t. I just feel… fuck, it’s weird. I can’t even explain it.Is it because I know he’s finding this hard?Is it because I know he’ll feel guilty for tearing down the veil from his mother’s eyes?I swear, I’m going to make sure we are all there for her, too.
SKYLA. The entire hall falls silent, the buzz of chattering fades away, the tinkling of glasses being placed down soon stops too and the soft laughter fades into nothing…. The rustling of fabric stops, as everyone pays attention to the king. “Some of you may have heard rumours, but for the majority, this will come as a shock. Our world has been at peace for years now. Bridges have been built and we have progressed in many ways. Something that was only possible because of the efforts of many.” Dad begins. “However, in recent years, there have been some odd occurrences… things that are unexplainable or unheard of before - having begun appearing. Not to mention visions and prophecies that point to something far bigger to come.” Dad glances around, giving them a moment to let the words sink in before continuing. “There’s so much that is still a mystery, and it is partially the reason we abstained from sharing this with the public. There are things that shouldn’t even be on this plane
SKYLA. “Sky,” Mama says quietly as the cunt glares at me. I see several people nod in agreement to what I just said, and I cock a brow at the cunt. Yeah, you don’t have a fucking answer. “She isn’t wrong. There are many of us who are living a far better life than what we would be if he did not intervene. There was a time that every pack went by their own rules, allowing abuse, violence and other misdeeds to be overlooked. Alejandro Rossi united the packs of this country and promised safety to those who needed it. Giving them consolation that there’s someone who they can reach out to,” Leo says sharply. His voice is ice cold, his piercing eyes trained on the man. The man scoffs. “Of course, you say that now when you are mated to a Westwood. You hated the king and the rest of the kingdom too, did you not Alpha Leo Herrmann Rossi!” Leo smirks. “Past tense. I hated what happened, and it is in the past. Those involved understood and regretted their actions and yes, I admit that I chan
ROYCE. My heart is racing as I hear their footsteps approach. I’d recognise Mom’s heartbeat anywhere… and right now it’s racing as she steps inside the office that I’m waiting in. She doesn’t know that today I haven’t just brought myself to her, but someone else too. “Royce,” her voice is thick as she fights her emotions. I turn and give her a smile. She looks beautiful in a white dress that lights up her eyes. The first woman in my life, the first goddess who I’ll always respect, the woman who went through so much pain to bring me onto this planet. My mother. She stops in the doorway, her eyes glimmering with tears that she’s so desperately trying to contain, and I close the gap between us, pulling her into my arms. “Royce,” she whispers as she clutches onto me tightly. “Thank the gods.” She cups my face, tugging me down and kisses my forehead and cheeks as a few tears trickle down her cheeks. She’s examining my face as if making sure I’m not hurt… just like she used to do l
WINONA. These moments… I will never be able to put them into words. The love that I feel for someone I have just met… is unexplainable. I feel as if the heavens and the gods themselves have blessed me with everything. Leo, Corrado, Marcel, Royce, Charlotte and now my mother. I once thought I had no family, and then Leo stepped into my life, offering me safety and a home. Corrado, a child whose smile became my entire world… Marcel, a man I never knew I could love and have, and so much more than that. I was given him as my mate. Royce, my brother is brave enough to push to be a part of my life. Even before I knew who he was, the way he looked at me shows me that he loves me and will always protect me. Charlotte, my feisty little sister who is a queen with the confidence to make up for my lack thereof. And my Mom, someone who has yearned for me, after being lied to and betrayed by her own mate, has suffered for years. Her happiness is so strong I can feel it. And now I know that
SKYLA.“Are you two coming with me?” I ask the moment I hear the sound of heels behind me.Delsanra is standing there, arms crossed, as she watches me.“Well, we have to. No one is to move around alone,” Azura says, and I glance over my shoulder at her.“Exactly,” Delsanra says with a grin as they both fall into step beside me.The main thing Leo and Dad made clear is that everyone tries to make sure that Aleric remains in the main hall.The last I saw of him as I snuck out was Dad walking over to him and Kenneth.If he tries something, we’ll be alerted, but I don’t know, I’m feeling uneasy, and I shouldn’t be… not with the fact that I’m going to go meet Royce. From here on out, we’ll be together.“The blood moon…” Azura whispers as she stares out of the window.I glance out of it, staring at the moon that now holds a red hue, one that no human eye can really see.It’s radiant, its energy simmering through me, and beside me, I can feel Azura’s aura rising.“I'm so damn uneasy,” I mutte
SKYLA. “My command is absolute. You need to stay with Delsanra.” I whisper, as a blinding light fills the air as something impacts with Delsanra’s shield and she’s thrown back. I rush towards her, catching her, but she’s still working on a spell. “Protect her,” I whisper to Azura as I place Delsanra down. At this rate, they won’t survive. Whatever that darkness is, it’s just consuming her power with ease. Azura sends a force of power at the darkness before she raises a shield, blocking me from them. “Then run, Sky, and if you fucking slow down I swear I’m going to create a thousand voodoo dolls of you to torture for the rest of your life!” Azura growls, as her blazing aura radiates around her. I told her to stay, but now… I’m scared of something happening to them. I can’t run and leave them behind. What if something happens to them? They- “GO!” Azura screams. Her voice snaps me from my thoughts, and I turn; suddenly, a large surge of darkness blankets me and I can no longer see
PLEASE READ TO THE END! IT WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS! Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed that epilogue. Sky being Sky is always hilarious and despite everything that has happened, and she has found herself, she has not lost herself. She’s still the wild, crazy Skyla Rossi who loves to barter with her dad for money, leaving Royce gobsmacked with her crazy remarks that she WILL follow up on and not to mention her love for Malevolent! Well now that the journey is over and we bid a ‘see you later’ to our loved duo, we will move on to a new story. For those on my socials, you probably know that I will now write Precious Bond, it will be added to the end of Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire. This is a short novella, so hopefully won’t take us too long to complete. After Precious Bonds is completed, I will then write The Dragon King’s Seduction, which is a sequel to The Alpha King’s Possession. Which means there will be a gap before I start Kataleya’s book! Yes, I know no one wants that but I
ONE MONTH LATER… SKYLA. The Alpha Gen X game of the fucking century. Tonight, we have the Game Master himself, This has been the most awaited game for the fans of the games in over a year. The Panther is going up against the Game Master - X himself. Through the last tournament the Panther was the victor and now… now he would go head-to-head with X. X is said to be a man who lives in the shadows, powerful, strong and someone who would without a doubt win. Everyone speculates about him, but no one knows who he is or where he is from. We’re kitted up in full black. The rule for spectators requires one’s identity to be hidden. I’m in black leather pants, a black top and a leather jacket. With matching knee-high killer heels, a hood and a face mask. Royce has his hood up, too. He’s wearing black sweats, with the letter X on his back, black boots and a face mask finishes his look. His blond hair is pulled back in a sleek bobble. His sharp eyes are the only thing you can see. Upon
ROYCE. ‘What’s with the look, Love? It’s tempting me.’ I ask her through the link as she gazes up at me with such love. I wonder how I got so lucky. “Just thinking about how I fucking love you so damn much.” She replies, placing her hand over the arm that is wrapped around her waist. “Then we’re on the same page,” I say as I pick up a burger and hold it to her mouth. She takes a bite, her sultry eyes remain locked with mine before she licks her lips. Damn, that’s so fucking hot… “Enjoying the food porn, Magic Fingers?” Azura asks her voice full of amusement. Skyla snickers as holds the burger out to me, and I take a bite rather than having to answer that question. Damn… why does she look so smoking hot… “Food porn… I like it too…” Kataleya murmurs to herself. I don’t think we are on about the same kind of food porn… I look at my girl’s sexy body as she takes another bite. Smoking… She turns to grab a drink and my gaze falls on her ass, her sexy peach swallows up her black t
SEVERAL MONTHS LATER... (A few weeks after the epilogue of Leo & Azura’s book) SKYLA. “You got the drinks?!” I shout to Kataleya. “Check!” She calls back. Exams are over and I’m finally free! Ok, not so much as we’ve begun working on a new training programme called the Elite X. Training has been upped in the academies and in packs, but the Elite X, a name chosen by Azura, our future sexy bad-ass queen is an entirely new ball game. The Elite X will further the training of warriors from around the country, those who excel in their fields or have graduated from the academy at the top of the charts in training, fitness, and power. This is the future. We are the future. There is a war coming, and the truth is we will have to face it when it does. We don’t know when and we don’t know exactly what we will face but we will prepare and be ready for it. I am one of the first ones working on the programme and will be one of the leads in the facility. There’s more to my job than just th
ROYCE. I pause. No… I am better than this… I squeeze his heart enough for him to growl in pain as he rips through my right flank and I kick him off, releasing my hold on his head. He’s forced to shift back as he staggers, blood spilling from his chest. “You will have to kill me, Royce! If you want the title! You don’t have it in you, do you, loser!” He taunts. No… I can take the title without killing him…. I refuse to keep repeating this cycle. I storm towards him, the sky darkening, and I punch him across the face, knocking him to the ground. “Refraining from killing someone does not make me a loser, father.” “Coward!” He sneers. “You don’t have the backbone to be king!” “There is more to being king than displaying power…” I reply, looking at the hatred in his eyes. “You don’t deserve a fast end. You deserve to live out the rest of your life in prison. Rest assured, you will never see the light of another day.” My aura rages around me as I grab him by his head. “Forfeit.”
ROYCE. “Once again, you show no compassion. You drove him to become what he was… by abusing him, mentally and physically. You broke him from the caring big brother he once used to be. Grooming him not only to be competitive but to go to any length to achieve what he desired, and he did.” My voice rings powerfully across the arena as I keep circling Dad. “I did nothing of the sort! He made his own choices of his own free will!” he replies, his eyes flashing. “Did he? You expected more of him, wanted more from him! You put the seed of hatred for me into him!” I snarl, grabbing him by the collar, my heart thundering. “The match has not started. Let’s follow the rules, son.” He says, smiling tauntingly. A smile that grates on my nerves. I never realised how badly he treated us… I was so accustomed to everything that I dealt with it, but he is the root cause of it all. I let go of him and shove him away, backing up a few steps. “Very well then… before we start, I will go over the cri
ROYCE. A week has passed since the funerals of those who lost their lives in that battle. We have also buried Aleric at the borders of the pack, a place that was safe to visit yet away from where the rest of the Ardens were buried. He didn’t earn that right, yet we still kept him on pack grounds where Mom could visit if she so wished. The day after the burials, we had returned to the Arden mansion, and Skyla had come with me. Ready to start her life with me. Although her dad wasn’t too keen on it, he understood and simply told her she will need to attend the Academy until she has takes her exams. But I still liked the fact that my queen will always be beside me. Seeing her belongings in our room, set beside mine, felt good. Her presence is something that lightens up my day and night. Today there are going to be many spectators in the Pack Arena, a place where we held some of our training exams and competitions. However, today it would be used for something entirely different. I
ROYCE. She’s gorgeous. From those long killer legs that are on display, she’s wearing a pleated black skirt and high over-the-knee boots. Those sexy legs always draw my attention. She’s wearing a long-sleeved black fitted top that accentuates those breasts and a tiny waist, but it’s the look in her gorgeous green cat-like eyes that catch my breath. Her eyes never returned to normal, although her armour disappeared at will. Her eyes remained, like her uncle, Liam Westwood, whose eyes were once said to be a cerulean blue like his father. She had been pretty ecstatic when she had realised. I can’t help but smile at the thought of how she had grabbed Malevolent and told her they now looked like proper twins before turning to me and asking if I like a pussycat… The thought sends pleasure rushing south. We haven’t gotten down and dirty yet, but she’s teasing me any moment she gets. We’ve both had a lot on our minds, but even in the darkest of times, she makes me smile. She now saunte
SKYLA. The wind blows through my hair as I place a single red rose that I had sprayed the edges with gold paint, with the green leaves and thorns intact on top of Chris’s grave. They brought his body back to Black Storm Territory, even though he was the alpha of the Dark Storm Pack. He was born on Black Storm territory, and Raihana wanted him to rest in the same place as his family, and besides Papa Raf. “No white from me Romeo… you and Ri… you were that couple who were always so damn extra and it fucking looked good on you. So, here’s a rose that stands out…” I lower my head. I promise you, I’ll do my best to be there for these guys, Ri, Tatum, and Heaven. We will fucking be there for them all. And if you do happen to come across Hecate, tell her Skyla Rossi sends her a fuck you. I smirk at my thoughts but it’s no joke, Hecate did us fucking dirty. Jainana had imprisoned herself in one of their secure cells when she learned of the command from Hecate, and although she recovered
