Lally O SheaIf you have an interest in lore and the history of magic, the Mesoptamians did really have runes and the ritual mentioned. I try to include as much truth to things that i have read in the past with a nod to that with obviously some creative fluff. But if you are a bit of a reader and "factual nerd" (meant playfully and lovingly) like myself you can read the origins of the ancient practitioners Mesopotamia. xxx

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

Kayda. We stood together on the beach and just looked at the sparkling sea and the dark night sky that stretched ahead. "What now?" Daisy asked. "Well, I guess whatever we want." I replied as a smile spread on her face. "I need to find my little sister, and I guess start over with her." Britney smiled. "Can I make a small suggestion ladies, why don't you come and stay at the palace? we can collect your sister, and then I would be happy to finance your new starts wherever that may be. Set you up with a home, a job, or a college course." Eoin said softly, and I was surprised to see Dana's eyes light up so keenly. "I always wanted to go to college in New York they have an amazing marketing degree." She gasped as Eoin smiled. "Im sure I can pull a few strings for that." he smirked as she squeeled, and I was shocked that Dana was so openly expressing her joy. "I would like somewhere nice and quite to raise my sister with no more chance of drama and maybe find a new coven or

Eoin. Once Kayda and Andy were settled and fed, I left them alone with Ash to take a moment to think about all that had happened. Kayda was cuddled close to Ash as they chatted quietly. I had intended on asking him to be my royal Gamma, but instinctively, I knew as an Alpha that his wolf may not be a good fit. Ash was a tracker and a warrior, and quite frankly, he had some traits of a lone wolf. He never spoke about going off as a lone wolf, but he had always spoken about going on long warrior missions for the crown. That had always been his and Kayda's dream, and whilst I was aware Kayda's plans were changing, nothing made me think Ash's were. I watched him as he savoured the moment he had with his best friend back as she laughed at whatever he was saying. "You're surprisingly calm at how close your mate and brother are. Aren't Alpha wolves crazy possessive?" Chance asked, joining me at the sail boat rail and following my gaze to where Kayda, Ash, and Andy were. "Yes, we are, b

Kayda I was glad when I finally said goodnight to everyone as the adrenaline of the fight and our rescue had worn off. I made sure Andy was okay and had spoken to Daisy by using Eoin's phone to ring Sage. Daisy was in awe of the palace and excited by the magic she had experienced on the ghost roads. She was rambling on about how nice Sarah the omega was and was insisting on staying with the omegas who worked in the palace as she excitedly told me how they instantly understood her and she loved it. I had been well aware the single young omega palace staff lived together and hung around in a tight group helping each other with palace chores by day and partying it up by night but I was shocked at how quickly Daisy had integrated into their group. Britney had been sorted with one of the more spacious cottages that were in the woods by the palace in almost a little village, Madame Lux and the human watcher Fr Colm Roche lived there amoungst others who sought a more peaceful life.

Eoin. I wanted to smash down the bathroom door as her sobs fluttered through the wooden walls of the cabin bedroom. It took all I had not to go in there, I knew Kayda liked to be the tough girl, the strong warrior who needed no one and showed no weakness. I didn't go in because I knew she was safe, and I figured she needed to let this emotion out, and if I went in there, she would bottle it right back up. So I sat there listening to my mate sob her heart out, I sat there as desperate and as helpless as I had been the whole time my mate was missing. My eyes never left the door, and just when I felt I couldn't take it anymore, the sobbing stopped, and the shower turned off. I laid out a tee shirt on the bed for her and stripped down to my boxers, ready to get into bed with her as I knew she had to be exhausted. She emerged slightly pale in complexion but otherwise her usual self and climbed into the bed silently when I gestured to her. Once cuddled together, I allowed myself to pull

Kayda. Our slow voyage was coming to an end, much to my relief. I enjoyed my time on the yaucht with my mate, Ash, Andy, and Chance. It helped that we were weighted on hand and foot by five-star silver service. In another time and another place, I would have savoured the holiday athmopsphere, but as I lay on the upper deck with Andy, I couldn't help but wish I was back home. I needed my own room and my family around me to truly believe my ordeal was completely over. As they say, there is no place like home. I knew once I got to the Palace and back to the Royal Pack, things would be different. The boat was stocked with essentials for any scenario, so Andy and I had been provided with two-piece bathing suits by the interior girls to lay out on the sun deck. I was enjoying the sun on my skin. "You're showing." Andy smiled, glancing at my abdomin where a small bump was now evident. "Well, the outfit leaves little room to hide it." I smiled. "But yeah, it seems to be getting bigge

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
