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.

    Eoin. I pulled myself from the sea water and shook off the excess water as I waited for the others. Arthur was next shifting from his siren form back to his everyday form to wade out of the water. Ben, James, Chance, Ash, Sage, Marcus, and my sister Rori all appeared in two row boats tugged in by Sirens. Once everyone was on the beach, we did a quick recon of what was ahead. There was a fortress like a mediterrian style huge villa with high walls surrounding it and steep cliffs on three sides that fell into the deep ocean. It was clear there were gaurds stationed on the walls and at all points of entry. We were out numbered, so Arthur called some of the Siren warriors he had with us to go ahead and take out some of the gaurds. We moved quickly and swiftly, and before long, we were inside the large wooden door of the villa, leaving behind the mini brawl that was still going on behind us on the perfectly manicured lawn. Once we had a second to collect ourselves, I took a deep breath,

    Kayda As soon as Eoin spotted me and we locked eyes, I knew he was momentarily distraced as I called out to warn him of Drakos' rapidly changing features and his growth in stature. He roared at Eoin, who had now swiftly shifted to Jagger in a cloud of shredded clothing. "No one takes the dragon's treaures." he boomed, sending a chill down my spine as I knew Eoin didn't know that to Drakos I was a piece of his treaure. Jagger snarled. "I don't want your damn treasure. I want my mate." he declared, not knowing they were one in the same. "She's mine." The dragon roared as he whipped his huge tail around and smashing up everything in the corridor he buried my mate in a huge pile of crumbling stone and plaster as I screamed. I saw Ben, Ash, Arthur, and someone I didn't recognise all rush to the pile of rubble shifting rocks and bricks from where Jagger's wolf had been seconds earlier. It was then I spotted Sage and Rori, and I frantically called to Sage as Drakos crashed out into t

    Eoin. When Ben and James finally dragged me in my wolf form from the rubble, I barely had time to check myself over fully when Rori came scrambling over the mountains of rock, plaster, and brick "We have to distract the damn Dragon." She ordered, but I made a move in the direction she was running from where I had last seen my mate. "Jagger." She called, and I paused. "Trust me, Kayda has an ankle shackle on its magical, and Drakos is using some spell right now to hurt her. Sage is working on it, but he is counteracting it, we have to stop him and distract him long enough for Sage to remove it." Rori explained pleadingly and frantically as I centred my concentration to where the Dragon stood. He was still hurting my mate right now, and I was angry. With a mind link, I redirected the guys to help me face off with the dragon. Jagger growled menacingly, his hackles raised as we faced the dragon. "It's a hydra dragon." Arthur said. "Okay." I answered as I lunged angrily at t

    Kayda. I shifted back from Adalinda, and I barely took a breath when Eoin was covering me with a shirt. I pulled it on, eager to confront the now injured and crumbling figure of the so called Master. The man who had threatened to have sex with me against my will, who had kidnapped, held numerous young women captive, murdered girls who had defied him and who had hurt his mate so badly was now nothing more then a frail bleeding mess. My anger towards him was no longer unrefined and unbridled now the fear was completely gone, had I not been pregnant already I had no doubt he would of forced himself on me. I had seen his handiwork on Andy's skin, and that was enough. I pushed past Eoin, and blinded by my anger, I punched Drakos in his smug face. "You despicable piece of worthless skin." I screamed as I showered more punches on the man. He held his hands up weakly in a half-hearted defence, and my anger and loss of temper meant my blows were uncoordinated and frenzied as my emotion

    Eoin. I wanted to be by Kayda's side but I sent Ben, Rori and Chance after her, my need to be with my mate was only barely overpowered by my need to secure the lizard Drakos so I knew he would never harm my mate or anyone again. Arthur and James were happy to help, and once outside the huge villa, Arthur's warriors took the now weak Drakos a d escorted Jim back to the ship. "Looks like Kayga held her own." James said, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "She's alright, Eoin." he added, reassuring me as I nodded numbly and felt the adrenaline of the past few hours drift away. Relief, exhaustion, and anxiety from the whole ordeal washed over me as I sank onto the sand of the small beach. "I thought I lost her." I admitted as James sat down next to me. "I know, but Kayda is made of strong stuff. It's why she is your mate and the future werewolf queen. No wall flower could handle the lifestyle. Eoin, you need to see the positives here. Kayda stayed alive and kept your pup

  • 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

    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

    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

    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."
