Chapter 6 - Princess Rogue Walking into the ball room with my father slightly ahead, I scan the crowd of fancily dressed dignitaries from around the globe. Werewolves stare back at us, bowing or curtsying to their King and Princess and I internally roll my eyes. Sadly, today their respect for me will be gone. A runt that rules the werewolf world is not the ideal future ruler. My eyes scan the room until I find who I am looking for. Geminie Starlight with her mate Ariven and daughter Destiny. My distant cousin and next heir for the throne. Walking down the elegant steps, I make my way to where she stands as a light catches the necklace she is wearing – a snowflake shaped moon stone. Her prism coloured hair and white eyes the opposite of my white hair and prism eyes. Smiling, the future Goddess nuzzles her cheek against mine. “A pleasure to finally meet you cousin.” I speak first, pulling away to address the strong she-wolf before me. “Th
Chapter 7 - The white Spirit “Geminie, we can’t keep her here at the temple. The moonstone is proof enough that she is in deed the lost Princess” Muffled voices reach my ears, bringing me out of the darkness. “What do you mean? I grew up with Crysta.” “What Amberle means is that I am the daughter of the Current Moon Goddess. Crystalline is the daughter of the first Moon Goddess.” I wish for those speaking to be silent. The pain is just too much to bear and being woken when I should be healing is not a nice feeling. “Shit, why is it glowing?” Someone exclaims. Glowing? What’s glowing? “She is being summoned by some one. My stone glows when one of the Goddesses want to talk to …”… A soft breeze caresses my skin, the scent of moon flowers reaching my nose and bringing me from the darkness that consumes me. “I am happy to see you are awake.” A man’s voice from my right calls ou
Chapter 8 – Allies “We need to start her training as soon as possible. With Prince Coro’s antics becoming even more dangerous than the next, who knows what can happen in the next few years.” A voice with a musical lilt floats through the air, reaching my ears as consciousness slowly returns. “Trust me, Crysta can take anyone down.” Matrix retorts with a huff to this mysterious person. “I believe she can, but her brother is a tricker person. He has ways of killing without a trace.” Another voice, one I recognize as Geminie, argues back. I frown, deciding that now is a good time to wake up if the wolves in the room decided to continue talking about me. I need to know what they know in order to prepare myself for what ever fate has in store for me. With a sigh, I open my eyes and am met with a canopied setting, realizing I am laying on a canopy bed. Turning to the sounds of the voice, I notice Geminie with her mate sitting close together on
Chapter 9 – Lessons Groaning, I shut the history book on the desk in frustration, wondering who’s god-awful idea it was to have me learn the history of wolves – the entire history of wolves might I add. Deep inside the library in the Temple of the Goddess surrounded by shelves full of books, Ira watches over me, her sharp knowing gaze showing her amusement at my frustration. “You need to know everything Crystalline. A knowing ruler is the best ruler.” She states, turning back to the paper work spread out on her own desk. “I get that. Its just, considering I grew up in the palace, I am pretty sure I know all that needs to be known.” Laying my head on the desk, I close my eyes for a moment to take a break. The smell of the old books and stone shelves bringing a sort of peace to me even if I find reading constantly torturing to my mind. “Do you know how Coro managed to life for all these years? Or how he amassed his powers?”
Chapter 10 – Bitter Sweet Decision I sit in front of the Moonstone orb, questioning if I should put my hands on it or not. Three weeks have passed since Ira brought me to this room and every day I would spend an hour either before training or after training, staring at it, wondering if I am ready to know the answers to my questions. Sadly the answer is always no. I am not ready because there is so much I need to learn, so much I need to do before I can ask the questions needed for me to beat Coro and Alexander. “You ready to go?” I jump as Geminie comes up behind me, Destiny in her arms. “Almost. I just wanted to spend an hour alone and figured this would be the safest place.” I admit, standing and making my way towards the Future Goddess. I smile at Destiny, taking the toddler into my arms when she reaches out to me and resting her against my hip. “Well you’ll be leaving in a few hours. I think this trip will be good for
Chapter 11 – A Journey with new friends I sigh as I pull over, my tears blurring my vision and making me unable to drive. It’s been two hours since I left the temple and it takes everything not to turn back and return. But I can’t. I have to keep going and make my way to Toronto in order to hide from Alexander and to find my own way in life before I can take the throne. Taking deep breaths, I wipe away the tears and calm myself down. Even with the feeling of home sickness kicking in harder than I expected. Deciding I need some fresh air, I turn the hummer off and step outside, making sure to bring my silver dagger with me before locking the vehicle. Thankfully, I had pulled into a rest stop that leads to a hiking trail, no one would question a car left unattended here. With a smile, I walk into the forest, relishing in the freedom of being one with nature for a moment without any constraints. Awwwwooooooooh My foot steps pause at the sou
Chapter 12 – A Lawful Vampire “Is this the place?” Blake asks as we pull into a parking lot. I smile at the pup turning to see his siter Alice fast asleep in the back seat, her golden hair shinning after our night in the motel room and having access to a proper bath. “Yes. We can talk to the Lawyer about making me your legal guardian.” I answer, seeing the hope in the thirteen year old’s eyes. With a chuckle, I climb out of the vehicle and make my way to Alice’s side, opening the door and gently shaking her. “Alice, we are here.” I coo to the nine year old, watching her slowly open her eyes. She yawns as Blake joins us, still a little weary of me even after three days on the road getting to know one another. “We’re here?” The little pup mumble out, rubbing her eyes. I chuckle, helping her unbuckle her seatbelt and lifting her into my arms. “Yes, we are here.” I reassure, closing and locking the car and mak
Chapter 13 – Temporary Home I groan at the multiple boxes around the room, realizing that I should have paid for the moving crew to build the furniture for me. I am an idiot and thought it would be easy. “Crystalline!” A voice calls out as the front doors open. “Upstairs Uncle Atti.” With a sigh, I lean against the wall and call down, the vampire appearing within second. “Hello young o– what’s with all the boxes?” His greeting is cut off as he too searches the room with a multitude of boxes laying about. “Furniture that needs to be built.” My grumbled response brings an amused smile to his lips as he ruffles my hair. “I told you to let the movers do it.” He chuckles, pulling me to his side in a hug. “I know. I should have listened but I wanted to try it on my own. Besides, the pups are with Heidi right now shopping for decorations for their rooms so I have time to work on f
Hello every one who has made it to the end. First off, I want to thank you all for reading my novels and joining me on a journy of rejection and finding one's true strength. I started this series as a way to cope with growing in a bad household and feeling like I was never good enough because of how a parent treat me while also dealing with the treatment of being rejected and cheated on.Writing about Amberle, Geminie and Crystalline gave me the strength to become a better, stronger version of myself and tought me about self love and finding those who I can call my family. In the end, I wanted to share this with the world.As you noticed, I call this a series because the truth is this one lone novel is actually 3 books in one. 3 books that I have taken the time to edit and rewrite to publish on reading apps like Goodnovel as well as publish them on amazon. It is thanks to amazing readers like you that I am now able to turn a hobby into a career as an author and publish my books to m
Chapter 38 – A New Destiny set in Motion "Mama who will be Queen?" Turning away from the window as I wait for Albot’s return, I look to find my daughters playing with their dolls by the thrones, their white hair resembling mine while each sport one brown eye like their father and one prism eye like me. Walking towards the twins, I crouch down to look at Arora who asked the question, slowly playing with her hair. Depends on who is fit for it.” I answer, standing up straight and picking Arora up in my arms. “Being a ruler isn't just about pretty dresses and golden tiaras. In our case, silver tiaras. We have to be fair and just rulers to the many packs. We have to solve problems and disputes before a war can start." I answer, gently tickling her sides as she lets out a giggle. I smile at my four year old pup, placing a kiss on her forehead as she giggles some more. "I hear giggling." Albot's voice calls out, a squeal of sur
Chapter 37 – Soul Returns Homes A soft steady beeping mixed the soft steady hum of another machinery floats into my ears, waking me from the deep sleep I had been put under after my visit with Morai. I groan, not wanting to be disturbed and feeling sore all over my body. Opening my eyes to see where the noise is coming from, I wince and quickly close them due to the bright light overhead. "Crystalline you're awake!" Albot's voice, although rough and hoars, fills my ears and a small smile plays at my lips. My mate is here, but he sounds tired. I feel his hand clasps mine and a kiss on my forehead leaving tingles where we touch. Definitely still my Mate. I try to say something, my mouth opening and closing but no sound comes out. My throat is sore and dry, as if I haven’t had a single drop of water in a long time. [Lights are too bright and I need a drink please.] I send to Albot through our link, squeezing his hand gently. There is so muc
Chapter 36 - A Date with Destiny I open my eyes to find myself in a room filled with books. Light filters in from above and I look to see an endless sky. Looking around confused, I wonder if my father sent my soul in the wrong place. "Sorry little wolf but I intervened for a moment." A childish voice has me turning to face a girl about fourteen years old as she carefully writes in an old leather bound book. Her hand flies over the pages, her face filled with focus on her task and I wait silently for her to be finished. With the slam of her book closing, I take a few steps forward. "Who are you?" I ask, watching the girl tentatively. Her violet eyes are soft and all knowing, as if this girl is someone who has lived many adventures. She stares at me with a serene smile, her little body slowly walking towards me until we are standing just a foot apart and she takes in my appearance from head to toe. "I'm gla
Chapter 35 – The Royal Family Bright light forces the darkness to fade and I find myself standing in the field of moon flowers I had just fought in. There is no signs of war before me and I wonder if what happened was a dream. “I see you are awake.” A voice I have longed to hear once more calls out. Turning around, I find my father leaning against a tree, his eyes filled with warmth. I rush to his side, my father pushing off from the tree to catch me in his arms as he hugs me tightly to him. The scent of the moon is on him and I smile, feeling the comforting embrace of a parent calm me. “You did good my pup. I am proud of you.” He whispers, stroking my hair. All I can do is nod, my voice constricted as I allow the tears to flow down my face. “Am I dead?” I finally am able to ask after some time has passed. “No. You are just in the in-between right now as your body heals. Now you have some people that want
Chapter 34 – Coro’s End The Trackers quickly descend from the trees surrounding the meadow, their agile bodies making quick work in slicing open their unsuspecting targes throat before they move on to the next. The hunters have paired up with a Royal Soldier, taking turns in attacking and defending the other as piles of dead Rogues fall to the ground. All around me are furs of various colours. At one point I caught sight of Amberle's fire coloured wolf and Dominic's ice coloured wolve rip apart a black Soulless before they disappear once again. I know my white fur is an easier target as I dodge and fight off multiple Soulless at a time. I find myself in an endless cycle of dodge, claw, bite, kill and retreat while leaving a trail of dead Soulless in my wake. My muzzle is now stained black by the foul blood of the decaying wolves but sadly I have grown used to the stench after an hour had passed in the battle. Witches began popping in and
Chapter 33 – The Final Battle The sounds of muffled footsteps behind me both in wolf and fur form reminds me that the final battle is only moments away. The sky is fading from the indigo of night to a darker blue with hues of red, purple and pinks on the horizon. [Remember to keep the link open to receive orders.] I hear Albot state through the open link, a resounding “Yes sir” from the hundreds of wolves joining us in this battle replying back. I smile, already seeing how great a King Albot makes. Once this war is over, I can plan his coronation and then together we can plan a wedding. It isn’t long until we make it to the meadow, the flower buds still closed waiting for the right time to bloom. I think back to the first time I met my father, watching the scene of my adoptive mother finding me in this verry field as well as the memories I have of the two of us running around and picking these flowers to decorate the palace halls. Now on the edge of the meadow, I can see Coro on
Chapter 32 – The Dawn of War Standing in the thrown room, a white suit with a white cape draped over my shoulders, I look outside the window as worry settles in. The stars are still out but as soon as the sun rises, all the moon flowers will bloom and the final battle in this war will begin. “You okay Darling?” Albot asks, walking forward with a mug of what smells like to be peppermint tea in his hand. I take it from him, thanking my mate before taking a sip of the much needed drink. “I’m nervous.” I sigh out, leaning into his touch as he wraps his arms around me. “I know. But we have been preparing for this moment Crystalline. We will win this.” Albot reassure me. Taking in his scent, I continue drinking the tea as we enjoy this final moment of calmness. Our scouts have already linked us that Coro is on the move, an army of Rogues and Soulless following behind him. It is only a matter of time before we have to leave and
Chapter 31 - A Sense of Normalcy Throwing Amberle over my shoulder, I smile triumphantly as the fiery haired she-wolf lets out a wince. For the past two days of training and meetings, she has teased me about Albot and our matting. How she expects to have her band of nieces and nephews grow soon after the war. This has just fueled me to want to kick her ass even more. “Geeze Crysta, go easy on me.” She groans out, pushing herself into a sitting position as she eyes me. “Are you going to stop teasing me?” I ask instead. “And ruin my fun, nope.” “Then I guess you are going to have to get used to finally having your ass on the ground all the time.” I shrug, getting a playful growl from the Alpha wolf in response. I roll my eyes, holding out my hand and helping Amberle to stand. Although I have been besting the she-wolf, I still sport a few scrapes and bruises myself from sparing with her. “So
