The Prince's Flame 17. Cadmus
Eoin. Climbing out of Kayda's bed after spending the night with her in my arms wasn't how I had invisioned having to start my official pack duty. I folded my shirt on her desk as promised and took hers with me, knowing I needed something to stop Jagger from going off the deep end. If she bore my mark he wouldn't be like this and a few days away from her would be no big deal but leaving an unmarked mate surrounded by other unmated males was not normal for a reason this could send an Alpha crazy. I climbed onto James balcony on route to mine only to be met by my Beta. "Morning Romeo." he smirked as I rolled my eyes. "Figured you need this." he added, holding out a steaming mug of coffee. "Can't imagine you got much sleep." he wiggled his eyebrows as I ran my hand over my tired face. "James, I will be giving you no details of my private life with Kayda ever." I warned. "Ah, another one bites the dust." James said almost sadly. I didn't mock him further as I felt this went much
The Prince's Flame 18. I am what?
Kayda. Being away from Eoin is tougher than I had anticipated, and it had been quite annoying learning that being unmarked seemed to maybe lessen the effects of my dragon and wolfs pinning and longing for him but that the effects were still strong. My mother had surprised everyone in giving birth to perfect twins one girl and just when my father had smiled and said he was happy in life to be surrounded by women my mother had given another push and out came my brother. My new sister was named Angel, and my brother, like myself, shared a name that indicated our true selves. He was called Draco, meaning dragon just as Kayda meant little dragon. I held my new siblings close, marvelling at how tiny they were in my arms. Despite recent events and my declaration of not wanting children, something strange passed over me as I looked at the newborns in my arms. Damn the betraying traits of womanhood. My mind whirled with how nice it would be to cradle Eoins' little pups in my arms, and sudden
The Prince's Flame 19. Ash's dilemma
Ash. After Dr. Teller mind linked me as I finished training looking for Kayda, I was a little worried. she hadn't been answering his calls or mind links, and now she wasn't answering mine. I went to the Gamma apartment and found her room empty. Danny and Dottie looked tired with their two newborns needing attention they really didn't know where Kayda was. I followed my super sensative trackers nose out onto the balcony and immediately knew where she was. I walked into my brothers room and found my best friend cuddled up in his clothing in the walk-in closet. I watched her closely as she slept. She seemed pale. This mate thing was really messing with her. I don't know why her and Eoin hesitated to mark each other and make their relationship public. I would love to have found a mate like Kayda. The truth is, for a brief moment when we were sixteen, I thought we might be fated mates. But that was a fleeting thought, and she never seemed like mine, but then I never saw her as being Eoin
The Prince's Flame 20. Little Egg
Kayda. I ate in the pack hall with Ash, but I was now hyper aware of my condition and the fact I now was beginning to smell like Eoin because of our pup. Once lunch was over, I left Ash to head to the gym as I darted up to my room. I sprayed a few spurts of Sage's scent concealing potion. It made me think about Sage as I pulled out my mobile phone and rang her. I waited patiently as it rang out and gave a frustrated sigh. I needed someone to talk this out with my mate was away, Ash was just as overburdened with the information as I was, and my sister wasn't picking up. I put my cell phone back in my pocket and left the palace. I walked to the meadow, clearing in the woods where two headstones stood. I ran my hand over the stone that was there under a cherry blossom tree marking Sage's mother's final resting place. Sasha's grave always had fresh flowers that were laid by my father, the Queen or Sage. The other headstone was my grandmother's she had died two years ago. I sat down in f
The Prince's Flame 21. Ash's Confession.
Ash. "Ash, they're taking me." Kayda panicked voice filled our mindlink. I raced in my wolf form towards the resting meadow. Palace warriors were on my tail. I linked my dad and Beta Adam, who were also on route. No one had noticed the rogues breach the royal border, meaning we had a serious security issue. When I broke from the tree line into the meadow, there were rogues waiting, but Kayda was gone. I fought the rogue who attacked me. It was clear these rogues were left to slow us down. "Try to keep them alive for interrogation." I barked at the warriors with me. It only took moments, but it felt like forever when I got across the meadow, leaving the rogues to the warriors as they rounded them up. I followed Kayda's very faint scent it was mixed with the sour scent of the rogues and the harsh scent of the chemicals. I followed it all the way to the borders where I found our Palace patrol gaurds slaughtered. I linked my father the information and to send medic in case, but I cou
The Prince's Flame 22. All that sparkles isn't gold.....
Kayda. I opened my eyes briefly, gaining consciousness as I was being slightly tossed around in the back of some van. The floor was hard and cold beneath me. I could feel the vomit rising in my throat, but before I could worry about the nausea, I felt another wave of drowsiness hit me as I fell back into darkness. When I next awoke, I could feel humidity hanging heavily in the warm air. I was now lying on a soft surface that smelt clean and kept. I forced my heavy eyelids open and took in the room. There were large windows showing off the night sky, but I appeared to be looking out over the inky black sky that met the dark depts of what looked like a sea. I moved closer and noted my window hung over a steep and high plunging cliff. The room had a Mediterranean feel, and the floor tiles were terracotta in appearance. I had woken in an expensive dark wood four poster bed. The wooden bed frame had figures carved into it. At first glance, they looked like gargoyles, but I noticed on

Eoin. I snapped my phone shut after Ash's disturbing news. This was a lot to take in, but the main concern now was that Kayda was missing. My mate was taken from within Palace boundaries, and both Jagger and I were fuming. I was going to track down whoever took her and tear them limb from limb. Not only was my mate in danger, but my pup was and as the future King that was intolerable. No one should dare to insult me by risking my mate. I had James order the plane be readied for immediate departure. I apologised briefly to the elders on the council and begrudgingly to Lord Alpha Anthony Turner before I left. I'm sure my desperation was evident to them, but no one dared question me as Jagger swirled dangerously close to the surface, and my royal aura was uncontrollable. They could all feel my wolfs anger and knew to keep their thoughts to themselves along with physical distance. We pulled up to the plane on the runway, and I quickly got out and raced up the steps. The warriors followe
The Prince's Flame 24. Gold pieces in a locked chest
Kayda. The girls began to eat with no hesitation. Dana chatted to the blonde girl happily as the red head stayed silent, casting me the occasional sympathetic smile. I spooned some pasta onto my plate and began to eat, finding the food was surprisingly nice. Once finished, Dana and her friend, who I knew was called Britney, stood and, with little acknowledgement to me or the other girl, left the dining room chatting happily about a television show. "I wouldn't worry about Dana and Britney they have been here so long now that they're comfortable with the idea and brainwashed to believe life is good here." the red-haired girl spoke. She was a natural redhead judging by the unique colour to her hair. It was curly to the point that it was almost unruly and fell in a mass down her back. She had piercing blue eyes and freckles sprinkled over her face. "How could anyone except this?" I asked. "Well, we're treated well like princesses. In fact, we have the best of clothes, a pool,

The Prince's Flame 60. I'm too old.
Chance How could my old pack have become this. In some ways, it was now no better than a slavery camp. I had gotten myself out but now quilt ate away at all those I had left behind to endure. My parents had given their lives trying to protect the pack from evolving into this. How money, greed, and one poisoned Gamma tainted a weak Alpha. That was what was the worst thing here. An Alpha should always be above everything and do what is right for his pack. It didn't matter how hard or dangerous it was. That was what the Alpha did. The Gamma , who had killed my father and taken his place, was so clearly not a true born Gamma. A Gamma was the one person who ensured the packs future, he answered to the Luna and the pups of the pack. A beta was fierce, tough and the brutal extension of the Alpha, to a Beta an Alpha was the only thing that matter but a Gamma would kill his Alpha to protect the Luna and the Alpha's heirs. The Gamma worked with the packs survival and future in mind and never o

Eoin. I spoke to James, who was now stationed in the mafia who were suppying the drugs to the street, I had to place him there to help. I couldn't stop the drug trade, but I could clean up the tainted supply, and sending James was my best option. He had been working with the Don there, and they seemingly had a good bond now. This was going to take at least six months, and I was already missing my best friend, but I was taking over more of my father's role, and the paperwork was mounting. I also had my mate Kayda, who was very close to having our pup and that no doubt was going to make me busy. Ash and Chance were returning from Chance's old pack with the whole higher ranked wolves and a lot of casulties. I had just approved a helicopter to fly a critical young woman on a ventilator in, and I knew the clinical was going to be stretched. I had put out a pack call through Gamma Andy for some of the elder ladies in the pack with warrior training to report to the clinic and she was s
The Prince's Flame 58. A Dahlia Flower.
Ash. Chance was doing a fantastic job, and Kayda was blowing my phone up, checking on him. Between her and Eoin, I had barely enough time to carry out any of the duties required of me. Anthony was a wise warrior and very observant, to be honest I felt he was one of those wolves the moon goddess blessed with a special power as he had a way of reading people and what they needed. He had discretely attached himself to Gamma Chance as a silent support always on Chance's right shoulder offering silent support, and it allowed Chance to stand tall and shine. The Beta here was really up to a lot of criminal dealings, and it appeared the Alpha was aware, but he wasn't the connection or organiser of their dirty dealings. The Alpha, Gamma, and Beta families in the pack were all filty rich, but the pack itself was dirt poor. The pack memebers weren't treated well, and they were all struggling on some level. We had uncovered some evidence that the omega's in the pack were working in the pack hous
The Prince's Flame 57. Peanut Butter and Chocolate.
Kayda I searched through the cupboard, looking for the large jar of peanut butter I knew I had stashed there, as Dakota and Andy sat at the kitchen island. I huffed under the gowing weight of my baby bump as the girls chatted. They were so transparent, to be honest. The investigation had been in full swing on the so-called master and I had spent yesterday giving my official statement in front of the council. Eoin was required to attend every day, and I knew they didn't want me alone today after reliving it all yesterday. Under normal circumstances I would scoff at the thought of me losing my mind or being upset by the events of yesterday but seeing as I was heavily pregnant and thus a little unhinged I was happy with the distraction. I thrumphantly grabbed the jar and struggled to my feet. "Goddess, I can bench press twice my weight and am generally freakisly fit, but carrying this pup around is one hell of a workout." I grumbled. "Well, I don't think you should be doing prolonged
The Prince's Flame 56. The Royal Gamma
Chance. Tye Alpha looked so nervous as he regarded me closely. "Is everything Alright Alpha?" Ash asked a small ghost of a smirk playing on his lips as Anthony stood just behind my left shoulder, ensuring I looked menacing and powerful to the group before us. "No Your Highness, I am sorry it's just that I had met the Royal Gamma Danny Moore previously and was unaware he had retired." the Alpha stammered as Ash raised an eyebrow. "My brother, the Crowned Prince Eoin, is currently in transition to the King title, and Gamma Chance here will be his Royal Gamma moving forward. Also, as I am sure you are aware, Gamma Danny's daughter was kidnapped by someone you associated with, so who I introduce as the royal Gamma should be the least of your worries. " Ash responded, allowing his aura to seep out. "We are here as advised to gather information and pass possible judgement on any dealings." he said so matter of factly. The Alpha and Beta stood firm, but I could see the Luna sway
The Prince's Flame 55. Karma
Chance Life is a funny thing. Just when I was on my knees with nothing to live for, I was captured by the King and most likely facing death for the diversion I caused in the future Queens kidnapping. However, King Emmett knew I didn't smell like a rogue, and when my story came out, he had taken pity on me. Madame Lux had used magic too, and whatever she foresaw in my future saved my life. I was given a new start along with my new name, Chance Hope. My old name, Sebastian Wilkes, had died with my mate and son. I was no longer the man I had been. The thirteen year old future Gamma, whose parents were slaughtered in a fake accident by a power-hungry Alpha who knew my father wouldn't abide by his dirty dealings and mistreatment of the pack was gone too. In his place stood the future King Eoin's royal Gamma, a title that held me above any Alpha and the ultimate respect to my father, who was a proud Gamma. His blood was in my veins, and it was now the royal gamma blood line. I knew wherev
The Prince's Flame 54. Andy's True Love
Andy I took my coffee out onto the wrap around porch of my new home, Chance was at early morning warrior training. He had with the help of Eoin, and the King designed this home for us to share. It was an elevated house like a cabin up amoungst the trees. I adored it. We lived about half a mile from the palace, and I could see it in the distance along with the tall building of the city in the other direction. I adored living amoungst the trees, and it gave me a sense of freedom I had lost. I loved my tree house but I doubted you could call a four bedroom house supported amoungst numerous trees a traditional tree house thats why Chance and I had named the house "New Leaf" in reference to the term "turning over a new leaf". I loved my new life here with Chance, and I had become friends with Sage and Dakota, who was a bear shifter, and the Prince consort Ben's sister. Kayda and I had become closer , and my relationships with Britney and Dana had become even stronger. When we were in the
The Prince's Flame 53. The Dragon Empire
Eoin I had managed to get the nerve up to tell Kayda that Dracos was in the palace cells. I wasn't afraid she was going to be afraid or scared. I was more worried she would stand up and rush to confront him. Kayda was as firey as her her fire dragon and red coloured wolf. However he materanl instincts were firmly in full power, and I was so happy to see her being content to allow me to deal with Dracos. I wasn't sure I could handle him in a room with that creep ever again. But as I watched her move around the royal baby shower with dignity and grace, my pride for her grew. She became a stranger to me in the moments she oooed and awwed over the tiny baby clothes and items with as much enthasium and joy as she used to have when she stood in the shadow with Ash at these events laughing and joking sarcastically. I now found myself watching her from a distance as she glowed but no longer with hidden desire and teenage angst but now with wonder and pride. Ash came up next to me and leaned
The Prince's Flame Chapter 52. Yellow Ducks and Red Blood.
Kayda Life had certainly changed for me, I was now the future queen of the werewolves. Thankfully, whilst Queen Charlie had ladies maids and such, she lived a much more down to earth life. She had set the standard for dressing herself, cooking for her mate or family, or attending the pack dining hall. She had no real airs and graces in her own home and that I liked. However, I didn't complain to help with housekeeping and laundry. I wasn't a complete glutton for punishment. The first scary thing had been when Eoin had handed me a credit card to his accounts and declared that what was his was now mine. I had protested as he sat and nodded. As a gamma's daughter, I had access to my own decent finances, but Eoin had said I was no longer a Gamma. I was a Luna and a Queen. I had gotten over my worries when Sage and Rori took me to the baby store and well I picked up alot of really cute baby stuff, I had worried about the cost but when I told Eoin he smiled and said "not too bad." I had sh
