JadeI stood up from my huge leather desk and bowed my head slightly as she walked in."Good day, Your Majesty."Her gaze flickered over me like I was a piece of dirty gum that had gotten stuck on the sole of her Chanel Heels.I swallowed and injected steel into her spine, reminding myself of the reason I was even standing there in the first place."So you're her," she eventually said, her voice snotty like that of an high school mean girl.I gave her a small smile. "If you mean the new pack doctor, then yes, I am. Please have a seat, Your Majesty."She gave an unimpressed look before perching on the chair. "Why?""Pardon." I pasted a confused look on my face, but inwardly, my mind was whirling.Does she know anything? What does she mean by 'Why?'I continued to maintain my composed face, even as her snide remarks continued to test my patience."Why are you here? In my pack, strutting around as though you own the place. I remember you running out of the mating hall in shame many years
Jade"A pack festival?" I asked, incredulous."Yes," he replied, nodding absently as he reached out and nabbed a piece of my fries.It's always one thing or the other in this pack. First, a welcoming ball and now a pack festival? I'm not in the mood for all this. I hate all this and I just want to go home and have family around me again."What do you hate?"Startled, I turned my gaze to Conan who was looking at me with a brow raised, chewing on the fry he had taken from my plate."Did I say that out loud?""Not really, you were murmuring so I couldn't hear you well. Are you okay?"A day after I had made my declaration about us being just co-conspirators in my revenge plan, he came by during my lunch hours with takeout.I had ignored him, focusing on the patient records I was going through. He had tried to get me to eat with him but eventually stopped when I wouldn't stop icing him out. He remained, however, and continued eating his portion of his meal, only smirking and saying nothing
Jade"What about you Jade",Conan said as he grinned mischievously.I just stared back at him, short of words.He sighed when I remained silent and handed the box to me."What is it?"Don't tell me that it's another pair of clothes for our date tonight?""You won't know until you open it," he said.I hesitated."C'mon, it won't bite. Open it, Jade."I opened the box to check the content and to my surprise, it was a framed picture of me."How did you get my picture, Conan?" I asked as I admired the tasteful picture. The picture was from the night of the ball we had attended a few days ago. It had been taken while I was mid-smile smiling at a young wolf who had been trying to flirt with me.I don't remember taking any pictures that very day. My brows furrowed in confusion."Do you like it?" He asked softly."I do. But you still haven't told me how you got this picture.""I secretly took it on the night of the ball. I couldn't stop staring at you and had to take a picture of you, especiall
Jade"Me? What do you mean by that?" I asked him.“Isn’t it obvious that she is jealous? She doesn’t want you near her husband,” he said.I nodded absentmindedly as I thought about what Conan had said. One of the things that had bothered me about this 'mission' was that I would basically be stealing another woman's mate and causing problems in their relationship.However, seeing Trina earlier that day and the way she had spoken to and treated me had made my guilt ease off a bit.Conan led me through the shiny and gaudy palace to a formal dining room that was just as extravagant as the rest of the palace. The walls were all decked out with gold trim, and a huge chandelier hung from the ceiling, lighting up the place.The table was this long, shiny mahogany thing with fancy chairs around it. They had these cool patterns carved into them. On the table, there were fancy dishes and crystal glasses, making it clear they weren't messing around with the whole formal dinner thing.The walls wer
Brad's POVJade came back into the dining room, looking spooked. I watched as she went back to her seat, adjusting her chair so that she and Conan were pressed together.She leaned closer to him, his arm brushing her high, firm breasts but neither of them seemed to mind.She whispered something to him and he nodded while placing a tendril of her hair that had escaped its bun behind her ear."Babe?"I turned to Trisha who was looking at me, with her eyebrows raised in question."What?" I asked her, my voice unnaturally rough. Her eyes flicked downward and I followed her gaze to see that I was clutching onto my knife hard enough that my knuckles had begun to whiten."Are you okay?" She asked."Yeah, I'm fine," I said as I released my grip and forced myself to smile at her. "Are you okay?" I asked in return."I'm fine, but I'm beginning to feel nauseous," she replied.I raised an eyebrow at her. "I thought morning sickness only happened in the morning."She let out a shrill laugh that gra
Jade My breath shuddered out in a sigh of relief as I looked to the left and saw Conan standing by the door. The door looked lopsided as though it had been thrown off the hinges.Looking at the position we were in, I was pressed against the wall with Brad fully pressed against me. My hands had been pinned above my head by Brad's large fist, while his lips were attached to my neck.I whispered, "Conan…"He zoomed over to us and wrenched Brad off me, throwing him against the wall.I gasped in shock and a little bit of fear as Brad went flying, hitting the wall with a resounding thud, before crumbling to the floor.Conan turned to me and I gasped again, his eyes looked red like that of an Alpha… he closed his eyes briefly and when he opened them again, they were back to the golden yellow of a wolf."Are you okay?" He growled as he walked over to me. “I’m fine," I said.“But you shouldn’t have done that, he's the Alpha!" I whisper-yelled at him as I began to think about what the punishm
JadeStartled, I turned to look at Brad, who quickly hid the glare he had been throwing our way under a mask of subtlety."Yes, Alpha." Conan's voice was cool, calm and collected, the very opposite of how I felt at that moment.Despite the fact that he had assured me that Brad wouldn't retaliate, I was worried for several reasons.One, Brad was still Alpha and Conan was his subject and Beta. I wouldn't put it Brad to try and make Conan's life miserable as much as he can.Two, I was worried about what the events of the night meant for my plan. Trina's announcement of her pregnancy had thrown a wrench in things. I had been already battling feelings of guilt over my plan as it would wreck Trina's and Brad's relationship. As annoying and irritating they might both be, mates were a sacred thing for any wolf, and here was I, about to disrupt the mate bond between them. A baby only made things worse, I didn't know if I would be able to go on with the plan, now that an innocent child was invo
JadeSurprise was on my side. I grappled with them, the room turning into a chaotic mess of growls and thuds. The other women were watching, horrified and hopeful, but none of them doing anything to help me.Trina screamed as one of the rogues landed a punch to my cheek that had me seeing stars.Adrenaline coursed through my veins as I managed to take down one of the rogues, but the other was a mean piece of work. In the scuffle, he slashed my side, pain ripping through me like a hot knife. But I refused to back down. I fought back, disarmed the bastard, and took him out.Blood's staining my clothes, and I was hurting like hell. The other women gathered around me, fear and thanks in their eyes. The remaining guard, now shaking, finally managed to slam the door shut, cutting off the immediate threat, and the immediate danger was over. I slumped against the wall, injured but still standing.The room fell into stunned silence. Despite the discomfort, a strained smile graced my lips. I
ConanI had won the fight between Brad and I. The fight which had spanned over years and decades and finally came up victorious.He returned to his human self as I did the same. I looked around to see the grounds which had been broken and filled with blood and machines.“All of this just to take me down,” I chuckled as he slowly healed and sat up, but he was too tired to do anything.“Don’t flatter yourself,” he coughed up a tooth. “It was for an entire country.”“And yet I took down your entire army single-handedly.”He growled at me. “Who are you? What kind of monster are you?”“The monster that you created, Brad!” I yelled in anger. “I used to have a home, a family, a mother and a father who loved me. I used to have a brother I thought was my better half but he turned out to be a monster.”Suddenly he got the hint of what I was saying as his eyes widened. “Yes Brad, we are both siblings. You were supposed to be my brother, my friend and the one who would watch my back. Instead you
ConanI stared at the robots before me that had halted, before looking at Brad, Trina and a strange lady in a snowy pack uniform.She had to be the one controlling these beasts.She stepped forward with a devious smile on her face.“You were the one who put my sister in a body bag,” she laughed. “You beat her so much she could not survive, so she succumbed to her wounds. That was my younger sister. I am going to make sure these machines deal so much damage to you, you wouldn’t even feel your jaw by the time they dislocate your body parts with punches.”I yawned. “You show up at my doorstep intending to have a war with me. I think we should start this war before arguing over who is stronger and who is not.”She laughed. “A feisty man I see. Very well. Let’s see how feisty you will be by the time they are done with you.”She pushed a button as the robots all turned to me.I counted at least twenty robots. The last
JadeI had not seen this coming. Now I knew we were really screwed. Conan has struggled against one of these creatures before being jumped by multiple. None of us could stand against this creature. It was too powerful for us to fight. We had to run out of here and give up the pack.“What is that thing?” a general gasped with the other warriors on the field watching this strange creature walk towards us.It seemed to have a few minor upgrades. Its arms were now made of iron, it wasn’t seven or eight foot tall like the last time. It had a sleek design but this was made to rival alpha’s and I was sure all of these new designs made it lighter and faster.“We need to get back to the pack and get everyone to safety,” I noted. “If we stay here we are going to die and lose everything. We need to get the people in the pack to safety first.”But the generals were still fascinated by what they were seeing.“General!
Jade“Good luck,” she hugged me. “And make sure you don’t die or I will kill you myself.”I wasn’t going to argue with her on how ridiculous that was but instead I would leave her to her thoughts.I headed out with the generals and the elders all wearing their armors.Our army had gone ahead of us to halt them ahead of time before they would get into the pack. If they got in, it was over. They would destroy our pack and kill our civilians too.We had nowhere to run or hide, this pack was all we had going for us.“So… have we sent word to our allies?” I asked while we rode in the battle van to the battlefield.“No one responded so it’s either they haven’t seen the message yet or they don’t want help. Either way we are on our own,” an elder responded.That was a strange thing. Every alpha was supposed to respond to a distress call from another alpha. It was an unwritten rule, unless the two packs had a silent war going on between them.We got to the field and I found how deadly it was.
Brad“That’s because you might be extremely cheap with the way you were banging her throughout. But you should know this,” she threatened. “The next time you sleep with someone else is the day I leave you for someone better and take all my forces with me. Do you hear me?”I could easily push her away but Trina had one of the best land forces who could fight even dangerous rogues without breaking a sweat and I needed them by my side. I had no choice but to accept her decision.“Yes,” I said. A knock came on the door as I opened it to find a maid there.“What is it?” I asked.“There is a call for you on line three.”I slammed the door on her face, zipping to take up the call.“Hello,” I said.“Conan is out of the game,” the voice said. “He’s been in a coma in the hospital for days now. I don’t think he’s going to make it out alive.”This gave me hope for my invasion. With Conan out of the equation, I would kill off his pack without difficulty. He was the greatest asset his pack had.*
Brad“Well,” I smiled, spreading my arms. “There goes my element of surprise.”“Oh please,” she stood up, zipping to stand before me. “I wasn’t expecting anyone to show up.”She brought her face too close to mine and her cold breath hit my hot face. The tension between us climbed to greater heights before she grabbed my hand and zipped me to a room where I tore her clothes and she removed mine.I was inside her within minutes while she moaned and we broke the bed with our combined force.When we were done, we laid in the mess we had created, fascinated by each other's strengths.“Does your wife give you sex the way I give you?” she smirked naughtily which had me kissing her breast before sitting up.“She’s not to be in this conversation,” I said. I hated having intimate discussions with those I slept with. They were not to know about my immediate family. That was something I should keep away from us. “I see you don’t want to talk about her. Very well then, why are you in my pack?“I c
BradI paced around the bedroom, wondering why my men weren’t picking up their calls.“Do you think they panicked and chewed the pill?” Trina asked.“That’s their own business.”“You held their wives and children captive and told them to track and take back your children or you would kill them. They could take the pill just to save their children.”I didn’t care about the dead. What I wanted now was a way to get back my children. If that was not going to be possible then there was only one thing to do. I would have to get back to the snow pack and make an alliance with them. I was sure they would want to know who had almost killed their queen.“I’ll be back,” I said, leaving her in the room as I headed for the garage to get into my car and drive off.The desert wolves were about to learn the meaning of what surrender looked like.I would first take back my back from the hands of my conquerors and then tear down their packs. After that, I would head for Conan’s pack and kill him and J
JadeShe cleaned a tear which fell off her eye, trailing a line down to her cheek.This must have been a very painful experience for her but I was still wondering why she was telling me this story.“I left him and headed out of town to come here,” she sighed. “The last time I checked on him, he was married to a fellow werewolf with four children and leading his pack as a warrior and the most feared one in his pack. I have wondered over the years if maybe if I had stayed with him, would I have brought him peace or agony?”“The only way to have known anything about that would have been you trying to get back with him and working your differences,” I smiled, now knowing what she was bringing the story for.“Exactly,” she smiled. “Now that’s the same thing for you and Conan. Instead of leaving him where he is in the hospital and running off in the model of the night like I did, not knowing if you were meant for him or not, you can work out your differences with him. “I recently found out
JadeI told her everything about what had happened and throughout my entire story, she didn’t interrupt me or say anything that distracted me.She was the only human friend I had made who actually listened to me. She was different from most of the people I had met.Even werewolves were not as good as she was. When I was done, she smiled at me, dragging me in for a hug while placing my head on her shoulder.“I’m very sure he wouldn’t listen to my pleas,” I sighed. “He probably hates me right now. I’m sure of it.”“No he doesn’t,” she sighed. “You have to talk to someone to know their true intentions.”“I don’t know about that. I’m sure he hates me. I betrayed him, Helena. I brought him to his knees. That’s not how a mate should behave. I should help him and not destroy him. I destroyed him.”My voice cracked while I let her go, standing to my feet to pace around the room.“And do you want to know the worst part of all of this?” I asked as she shook her head. “It’s the part where when
