The ExFifty-Three: Elijah (3rd Person POV) Elijah stands just inside of the tree line watching the front of the castle as limo after limo stops in front and elegant couples get out. The line of limos seems to go on forever as Eli stands there, his nerves starting to get the better of him. As he watches he notices his father steps out the front door talking to a male that he has never seen before. As Tobias steps outside on the huge front porch with High Elder Morris he looks around, feeling eyes on him from somewhere in the distance. “Alpha King Tobias, are you sure your son is ready for your seat of power?” Tobias looks at the old wolf knowing in his bones what the male is asking of him. “He is more than ready. Not to mention he has the backing of his grandmother’s kingdom also.” Tobias states wanting to make sure he knows that Elijah is powerful in his own right. Not to mention he is brilliant when it comes to politics and is just as charming when he needs t
The High ElderFifty-Four: Corbin I’m standing there breathing hard, Elijah’s arms still wrapped around my waist. His face planted right in my neck, rubbing his nose up and down taking all my anger right away. The typical beautiful she-wolf is starting to get up off the floor. She is tall and slender with long blond hair and sky-blue eyes, creamy milky skin tone. She holds her hands out to me, palms out telling me she is no threat. Everything seems to fall away as I realize I have seen this she-wolf before. She is the same one Elijah was all over in the hallway of his school. My stomach tied in knots as I stare at her. “No f*cking way.” Hascal says, bringing my attention to him. He is staring at the blond. I look back at her quickly and see her face drop and turn white as a sheet. “Don’t even say it…. Just don’t.” Hascal growls out shaking his head. That is when it dawns on me. “Hascal.” Elijah says as a very pissed off Hascal looks at him. I feel as if someth
The EldersFifty-Five: 3rd Person’s POV “That shouldn’t matter. My daughter will be eighteen at midnight.” Dell says angerly standing up from his mate’s lap as Ronin tries to grab onto him once more, effectively making Dell fall back down on his lap. “Oh, so you are the parents of the pup here. Then you of all people should be outraged by this.” A woman to the right of the High Elder states in a condescending tone. High Elder Morris hold his hand up to his side right in front of the woman, effectively cutting her off. She closes her mouth and bows her head in submission as the High Elder shakes his head. “Our laws are quite clear. A matured wolf doesn’t have the right to claim a pup who cannot feel the pull of a mate.” He states as Corbin starts to wiggle on Eli’s lap. “Shouldn’t that be their decision to make?” Queen Savvy speaks up for the first time. “It’s not like she didn’t understand the repercussions of what happened between the two of them.” She holds h
Trish GrangerFifty-Six: 3rd Person’s POV Taking a deep breath Trish Granger enters the lands that she hasn’t seen in years. She doesn’t take a limo or anything that will draw attention to herself. No instead she comes in a car dressed up as one of the wait staff. She doesn’t want anyone to recognize her, so she has a cloaking spell covering herself. She is not supposed to be here. She had promised Paden that she would stay away but she just couldn’t miss her brothers coming out ball. It announces his place in the kingdom. The one spot that is meant for him not her. That is why she left in the first place. So many Supernatural’s needing help, not just one small kingdom. Parking in the back of the palace next to the horse barn she gets out looking around she sees many things that have grown and changed. Looking towards the front of the castle she smiles seeing all the lovely young ladies arriving for the chance that her brother might be their Fated Mate. With a
Brother’s In TroubleFifty-Seven: 3rd Person’s POV ‘I told you he was already halfway mated.’ Alexis states as she finally finished laughing at me. I let out a sigh as I enter the kitchen area and a tray of drinks are placed in my hands. Trish turns setting it down as Tina gives her the stink eye. “Bathroom break.” Trish says making a hasty exit. ‘He was stupid to start the mating process before she is even of age. Not to mention all the Elders are here.’ Trish states as she walks quickly through the hallway. ‘Yeah, like you didn’t know it was possible for it to happen letting them be born to couples that paths would cross.’ Entering the bathroom, Trish checks under the stalls making sure she is alone before she turns and locks the door. Standing still she pushes out her Lycans misty form to talk to her face to face. As soon as the light from her exploding from Trish’s body subsides, she stares into the huge face of her Lycan form with her pure swirling silver
PlanningFifty-Eight: 3rd Person’s POV As soon as the office door closes behind the High Elder. Dell, feeling pissed off and anxious at the same time gets up and starts pacing the office as Ronin sits there watching. “Dell, honey please calm down. Dell stops in the middle of the office, staring dumbfounded at his mate. “Calm down… You want me to calm down when we both know what is going to happen our daughters Fated Mate ending in her own death?” Dell throws his hands out as he starts pacing once again. “We need to run. Or make them run. Have them go back to the forest at the mountain tops where the Hidden pack used.” Dell mumbles loud enough for everyone to hear even if he has his head down. “Honey, you are thinking out loud. Anyway, there is no way they can run. Not without major consequences.” Ronin states. That is when the Queen pulls away from her mate. Standing up she draws everyone’s attention. “They cannot run. If they do it is not only the Elders that
Char?Fifty-Nine: Corbin I feel so scared right now. My face is buried in Eli’s chest as he carries me through the castle and out the front doors. I move a little away as the nights air feels so cool against my warm cheeks. The sweet smell of the woods drifting to my nose. Opening my eyes, I see the full moon overhead as a sense of peace washes through me. “The Moon is beautiful tonight. I think the Moon Goddess is smiling down on us.” I say looking at Eli’s strong jaw as his steps falter. He looks at me, I notice the sad look on his face. “She is not smiling down on us. She is sending us to our doom.” He all but growls at me as I lean my head to the side, a small smile comes to my lips. “How so?” I whisper to him in his ear as I feel him shiver, letting out a small moan. With a grunt I feel us sliding down. Looking around we are right outside his house at the big oak tree. As Elijah leans against the tree, staring up at the night sky. I stare at his face, wond
Confronting My Fated MateSixty: Hascal I ran, I ran from that room, from her. It is all wrong…. Everything that has just happened is all wrong. Is all I can think of as I shred my clothes, changing into my big grey and white wolf. Not bothering to dig my paws into the ground or sniff the air like I usually do. Not even my wolf spirit is happy right now. All he is doing is growling in my head wanting me to go back to that she-wolf. I shake my head letting out a sad howl to the moon as I keep running as fast as my paws will take me. Away from the Royal Castle, away from her. My mind drifts away from what had just happened. Back to her, the one I have such a strong reaction to. The she-wolf that I had found naked in my father’s office. When my father told me about her, I was floored. Her name is Anna Lynn, she is a werewolf that never had her first morph until that day. That was why she was standing naked in my father’s office. She had morphed and didn’t understa
TheoriesSeventy-One: 3rd Person POV The gasp can be heard as Savvy chooses at that moment to wake back up. Everyone stares at her as she slowly sits back up. Looking around her eyes landed on Hascal. “Savvy, what is wrong with our son?” Randy asks as Lexi has tears running down her face, hovering over her son laying on the floorboard. With a sigh Savvy sits up as she leans back with the back of her hand pressed to her forehead. Lexi looks over at her with an imploring look written all over her face. “It’s the bond.” She states in a sad voice as Randy becomes stoned faced. “How can it be the bond when he rejected her?” Ronin suddenly asks. “Because she didn’t accept the rejection. They are still connected….” Randy says in almost a whisper. Looking at his son’s form laying in his mother’s embrace. She had somehow scooted herself on the floorboards, laying his head on her lap. “Don’t you remember the stories of Fated Mates from our childhoods?” Tobias says as he
Intense PainSeventy: Hascal It seems that I cannot get comfortable sitting in the car seat. My father, not trusting the rooms not being bugged in the Councils buildings. So, we are all jammed into one of the SUV limos. It is the King and Queen. Along with Ronin, Dell holding Corbin in the middle of them. And my parents are sitting by my side. “Son, what do you think about this all?” My eyes meet my father’s as he looks at me expectantly. I fidget once more on my seat. “Hascal, are you okay son?” My mom asks as she puts her hand on my forehead. I go to swipe her hand away. Feeling a slight pain in my stomach. I moan as I curl up into myself. “Hascal?” I hear screams as an intense pain hits me making me cry out as total darkness overtakes me.Meanwhile (3rd Person’s POV), “Oh, my Goddess. Randy, what the hell is wrong with our son?” Lexi screams out, clutching her son to her body. “Honey, calm down. He is fine.” He says as she looks at him with wide eyes. Randy
The DungeonsSixty-Nine: Elijah The look in my father’s face had me standing tall as two guards grabbed me by my upper arms. I hear my father’s warning growl as both hands quickly drop from my arms. Holding my head high, I follow the one in front of me as the other flanks me. I hear my Uncle Randy and Aunt Lexi arrive, their voices behind me. A sense of foreboding takes hold of me as we round the corner of the building. Looking around the grounds has me confused. I don’t see any families or pups anywhere. All there are a few males here and there. All of them were wearing the black robes of the Elders. Some tan ones that are Elders in training. Then of course you have the Council that wear the red robes with High Elder wearing red with black trim on his. “What is going on in this place Aragon?” I ask him as I feel his strong presents inside of me. Normally he is c*cky and full of information for me. Now he feels like he is full of anger for some reason. “Keep lo
Something Is Very WrongSixty-Eight: 3rd Person’s POV “Your job was simple. Get close to the Prince, worm your way into his heart. How did you mess this up so badly.” The High Elder glares at Char as he finishes raising the soundproof window between them and the driver. Char pulls her seatbelt over her shoulder without looking at her father. She knew what was coming. All he has ever cared about is establishing himself with as much power as he can. Never thinking of anyone but himself. Char sits back as she listens to her father’s heavy breathing. Knowing he is not done yet. That there is still more and if she tries to talk him down. It will just mean he will hit her for disobedience. “I guess you haven’t learned your lesson. When we get home, you will go back down to the dungeons.” Her heart breaks to think of what is to come. Her father, the heartless b*stard. “Well, what do you have to say for yourself?” He growls at her leaning forward. Getting right into he
Lieutenant Hascal MastersonSixty-Seven: Hascal Stepping out of the pack house. I see the six Elders already walking towards the Alpha Kings house. I release a sigh as I see the blond head and leigh body walking right next to her father, the High Elder Morris. Feeling my cell vibrate in my pocket. I start forward as I pull it out of my pocket. Looking at the screen, I see my mother’s name. Opening it quickly. “Where are you guys at. We are gathering now to leave.” I say softly not wanting others to overhear our conversation. “We are at home. We had to get some things. There is not enough time for us to get back. We will just meet you all there….” I grunt at my mother’s reply. “Son.” I hear my mother’s voice soften. Making me want to cry like I did when I was still a young pup, hiding behind my mother’s skirts. “Don’t do anything drastic like you did last night. Remember pup, Fated Mates are a gift from our Goddess.” I hear her say as a tear tries to escape my e
Randy and LexiSixty-Six: 3rd Person’s POV “We should have stayed at the Castle. We should never have left our son.” Lexi says wringing her hands as her husband and mate is at the bookshelves. She watches as he calmly pulls book after book out. Looking at the covers before tossing it aside. He hums her way before he picks up another book. Pissing Lexi off she walks right up to him, snagging the next book out of his hands. Making him look at her with a confused expression on his face. “Did you hear a word I just said. Don’t you understand what just happened to our son just hours ago!” She starts to shake with rage. Seeing the tears swimming in her eyes. Randy lets out a huff of breath as he pulls her in his arms, giving her a bone crushing hug. “Lexi, honey. Hascal is a man now. We have raised him well. He has good instincts and knowledge.” He says, pulling her away from him, looking her in her eyes. “Anyway, I would think you would be happy that he has the gift
BreakfastSixty-Five: 3rd Person’s POV Savvy enters the kitchen where Tobias is leaning against the counter. Sipping on his coffee. His head comes up as he looks at me. I cannot help the chuckle that escapes me as he raises his eyebrow. “What?” He asks me as I just smile walking towards him. “Those two remind me so much of myself.” She says taking his coffee cup from his hand, taking a drink of it. Turning, she sets the cup down with a smile on her face. Tobias moves behind his mate. Grabbing her by her hips as he smells her sweet scent. Burying his head into the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply. Hearing her giggle, he rubs his nose up her neck and to her ear. “What do you mean by that?’ He says nibbling her ear. “Corbin is finally coming into her own. I told her yesterday about how we met. How I let you go and how I decided to take charge. To take what was rightfully mine.” Tobias, still holding onto his mate’s hips. Throws his head back and laughs out loud.
Her Name is….Sixty-Four: Corbin As Eli sits me down on my feet right next to the bathtub. I cannot keep myself from touching him. I just have this urge inside of me to stay connected to him in some fashion. It is a need deep inside of me. Laying my hand on his shoulder, feeling the sensation of zaps running up my arm making my whole body feel like a live wire. Maybe it is because of what his father had said or because of my intuition. Eli turns his head and looks at me. “Hey, what’s going on in that pretty little head of yours?” I stand there staring down at him. His eyes now back to their normal green. I lift my hand off of his shoulder. Raising both hands to the top button of my shirt. Undoing it slowly. “I’m thinking of how much you mean to me. How I don’t want to live without you. How I will fight to my dying breath to keep you safe and sound because you are my heart and strength.” I say as a tear rolls down his face. I had just shrugged off my blouse. Sta
Too EarlySixty-Three: Corbin The pounding makes me sit up with a start on the bed as I feel Eli stir beside me, moaning. Looking at the door at the same time it swings open to see King Tobias smiling at me as I clutch the blanket to my chest. I’m still dressed but flabbergasted at his entry. Not to mention that I’m in an unfamiliar place. “Come on you two. It is time to get up. Come downstairs to the kitchen. Your mother and I need to talk to the two of you.” Tobias says as I hear Eli moaning. “Come on dad. It’s too early….” I chuckle at seeing his eyes barely cracked open staring at me as one of his hands are tucked under his cheek. His other hand is still resting on my leg that is closest to him. He gives it a squeeze making my heart pitter patter in my chest. “Sorry kid, but we have to get everything prepared and ready before the Elders show up here.” He says as Elijah sits straight up in bed, turning towards his father. I can see him shaking as power start
