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
The Prince's Flame 34. Adalinda
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

Rori "Well?" My father prompted his arms folded. I stayed silent, as did Sage and her vampire companion. In my experience, my father had already worked out what was happening or at least a version that he could fathom. "So, seeing as you two knew nothing about the rogue, am I correct in guessing your brother is behind this little jail break?" he continued as I had anticipated. "No." I lied as a reflex from an early age Eoin, and I had the sibling protection thing down. We never told on each other even when caught red-handed. "Really, Rori?" he asked. "You're a Luna, a mother, and a mated woman, and you're really going to lie to me like your sixteen again?" I crossed my own arms now, seeing an opening in his argument. "Exactly, you're right. I am a grown woman and a Luna, and yet here you are questioning me and treating me like I am still sixteen." I replied. "Father issues aside Rori. I am the king, and this rogue is under my protection and order of imprisonment, so bus

Kayda. Andy's declaration of the rejection of the mate bond caused Drakos to clutch his chest and fall to his knees with a roar. The roar was so chilling it drew my attention briefly from my friend. Andy didn't make a sound, her eyes fixated on Drakos as he grappled with his pain. "Accept the rejection." she finally said through gritted teeth as I now realised she was fighting under her own waves of pain from the fracturing bond. I heard like most shifters had that the shattering of the mate bond was unbearable to us. It was such a powerful gift that to refuse it was destiny changing and, therefore, in theory, came at a cost. Andy paled as another wave of pain washed over her as Drakos did not accept the rejection. I reached out for my friend as she fainted, and I cradled her in my arms as I fell to the floor with her. The blue fire stayed around us in a protective circle, but from my position on the ground holding Andy, I could no longer see Drakos or the orange groove. "If h

Eoin. I had been sitting on the deck staring into the glass I held willing the damn boat to move faster when I saw the shimmer appear and from it fell Rori, Sage, the rogue and the professor who had been tagging along with Sage lately. Seeing the tourtured face of the rogue that was filled with emotions and the disgruntaled look of the professor who clearly wasn't sure what was happening here. I stood quickly, and along with Ben, James, and Arthur, we rushed to help the girls. Arthur immediately rushed to help Sage, who pulled away from him and gave him a glare. The professor guy then helped her to her feet, and his stare was fixated on Arthur. He did, however, show his respect by bowing his head to the Siren King despite any anomosity he was feeling. He then turned and bowed to myself and my Gamma, along with Ben. "Let's hope whatever shit is going on with them holds out until we get Kayda back." Jagger, my wolf, spoke in our mind link, cementing my thoughts that something else was

Kayda. Daisy looked like someone about to throw up as she constantly glanced over her shoulder at the unconcious Drakos we had thethered to the tree. "Come on, Daisy, we need to move and get somewhere safe with Andy." I hissed, drawing her attention back to me. I didn't want to scare her anymore than she already was, but there was an urgency to the situation. "I am not sure those chains or that tree will hold him. If he shifts into his dragon, I fear nothing will hold him back." I added as I strained to pick up Andy. Being pregnant really was messing with my strength, much to my irksome realisation. Daisy dutifully grabbed Andy's feet as we stumbled in tandem across the courtyard through the orange trees and inside. We headed to my bedroom and placed Andy on the bed there. "Who do we need to worry about here, Daisy, besides Drakos?" I asked her as she bit her lip. "Mr Burton he has served Drakos for years, the gaurds who remain mostly outside on the perimeter of the island.

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

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
