Eoin. Madame Lux, the Royal Pack resident witch arrived in my father's office not long after we had made our way back up from the palace cells. She walked in smelling of herbs and spices as usual and in her long flowing colour explosion dress that she usually wore. She had always had links to my grandfathers pack the Pearl Moon Pack, but after she helped my parents defeat the witch that killed Sage's mother, my father granted her a cottage in the palace woods. She had the full protection and respect of the werewolf community now whilst she dabbled in some magic in her semi retired state. She did spend a lot of time with Sage, teaching her to use her magic and brew potions. "Alright, lover boy." she winked at me as I groaned inwardly. Madame Lux also had a knack for reading the future, but she never gave anyone information that could change the course of fate. She evidently knew who my fated mate was. Sage entered soon after clutching books to her chest. She looked tired and her e

(Beware some triggering topics mentioned discussed and occur in this chapter) The Master POV. The girl was stronger than even I had anticipated. I knew as a dragon shifter that she was going to be strong physically, but I never anticipated her being so fiesty and mentally strong. Her resolve and nerve were impressive but also oddly a turn-on. I had never been attracted to a girl for her mental strenght for me women were there to serve a purpose to men, to bare heirs, to pleasure men and to do as they were instructed to do. However, in the few minutes I had spent with this unusual creature, she had actively fought against me, and that was an unexpected turn-on. My aura alone normally has a sinister power that usually makes people bow and bend to my will. I had felt Kayda's power when she had struck me and knocked me into the book shelves in front of the other girls, and it had caught me off guard. She was now locked into her quaters while the doctor ran her blood test for me. I nee

Eoin I had been awake most of the night. It may have been a total figment of my imagination, but I could swear I could feel Kayda and her wolf Flame reaching out to me and Jagger. It was like I could feel the mate sparks faintly on my skin and like little lightening bolts in my mind, but it gave me no information or any new comfort that I was any closer to finding them. I stared at the printout of my pup scan that Ash had handed over the original printout to me. I could tell he was guilty that he had been there and I wasn't, but I didn't blame him. Kayda always had a bond to him, and I dare say even now she trusted him above me, this should be worrisome to me, but for some reason, it made sense, and even Jagger accepted their relationship. I trusted Ash above all and was glad that Kayda had him to lean on whilst I was off busy being King. We had made some terrible mistakes in not telling people we were mates, and it may have cost me my mate and pup, but I couldn't indulge in self pit

Kayda. It had been two days since I had seen anyone but Daisy. She would come in , freshen up my room, bring me some meals, always smiling and chatting like it was normal to be playing ladies' maid to a girl being held captive. Daisy had, however, not come last night, and Mr Burton had knocked handing me a tray and walking away. My interest was peeked. She arrived bright and early this morning as I was just finished drying my hair carrying my breakfast tray. She placed it on the usual table by the picture windows. "Morning, Lady Kayda." she chirped, but her smile didn't reach her eyes today. She seemed less perky than usual. "Morning Daisy." I sighed, picking up the precious coffee and holding the mug comfortingly to my chest as I perched in the armchair. "Did you have a lovely afternoon off yesterday?" I asked. "Afternoon off?" she asked, pausing her bed making and seemingly appearing confused. "Oh, sorry, I assumed as Mr Burton brought my tray that you were off." I explaine

Eoin. Grabbing the file Arthur had given me, I stomped from his office with him hot on my tails. I followed my nose to find Ben, James, and Ash all in a small dining room eating lunch with Amira. As soon as I entered, I knew they all sensed my ominous aura as I struggled to keep Jaggers rage under control. Their chatter subsided as I approached the table. "Everything okay, man? Ash asked as I dropped the open file on the table, and they all leaned in to see the photo. "A strong contender for the collector." I announced as the guys stared blankly except for James as recognition crossed his face. "Holy Goddess, is that?" he gasped trailing off. "Cadmus Drakos." I confirmed. "That slippery son of a bitch." James voices my sentiments. "But it makes sense." he added as I nodded, thinking back to how he had spoken about Kayda the the Alpha council gathering. He had talked as if she was a possession and something to own. "What makes sense?" Ash asked as James quickly relayed ou

Kayda. I sat tucked into Andy's large bed as she slept off the overwhelmingly drained emotions of the afternoon, and I just stared into space deep in thought. If the so-called master now knew my secret, I was going to have to find a way to protect my child and my newfound friend. I looked at Andy as she slept. She was still so pale, and her eyes puffy from the tears. Why would the moon goddess pair her with someone like the master? A mate was meant to be a gift, the moon Goddesses gift to her shifter children. Each mate was meant to make the other stronger and better, was Andy meant to soften the harshness of the master but if so, he was destroying her. She was so kind-hearted that I could feel that instantly when I met her, she deserved a nice mate and her freedom. When Andy finally woke, she insisted we go get something to eat, so we went to the change. I reluctantly pulled on a dress as I didn't need to provoke the master whilst working on my escape plan. I hated the fact I had t

Rori. I hung up the phone after my mate Ben had relayed on the plan, I was a little shocked that my straight laced by the book brother was okay with it. I was even more shocked that both my overprotective mate and overprotective brother were giving me the slightly risky job of breaking out a rogue and delivering him to them. I would not have been surprised if they both felt Sage and I were incapable of it being women, but maybe the toxic Alpha's were learning. "More like desperate." Tara, my wolf chuckled in my head. "Guess the only one Eoin and Jagger were willing to risk their precious twin sister for was their mate." "Yes, but I wish it was because they trusted us." I sighed. Tara laughed in my head. "You think Alpha male wolves would utter the words that we are just as capable as them. They have started to evolve to believe it and give us a little more credit, but saying it aloud is pushing it." My wolf laughed as I rolled my eyes. I found Sage sitting alone in the palac

Kayda. My Dragon glared at the man before us as he went to move towards us. "Do not take one step further." She boomed, but he froze. The blue fire licked my hands, but it wasn't hot. "No one ever said the girl had fire power." Cadmus smiled delight, dancing in his eyes. "A fire dragon and a royal blood line in you, Adalinda." Glee now evident in his demeanour. "Is he mad?" I asked my dragon in our mindlink. "He old enough on this damn earth to be a little nuts. I believe they call it eccentric." she responded. "How old?" I asked. "He went into hibernation for hundreds of years. Something must have awoken him." she explained. "I died a millennia ago, or so it feels. I had lived my natural life cycle with my human counterpart until another soul suited to me came along. Then the God's and Goddesses paired me to you, Kayda. I became anchored to you and Flame equally." she told me in our private link. "Why did you never tell me any of this?" I was shocked. "You n

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

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

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
