Megan stared at the blood red eyes in front of her with panic. She had never been in such a situation before, and for her first time she was pregnant. It was a complete disadvantage, but she knew the bloodthirsty wolf in front of her did not particularly care about her current state. She even suspected that it was a meal he would particularly enjoy, and bile rose in her throat.“The traitorous queen of the West.” He murmured as he slowly changed back into his human form, standing naked before Megan and she forced herself not to avert her gaze for the sake of decency.“I am no traitor and I'm not your queen.” Megan answered stiffly and the man laughed a deranged laugh. “But you are our queen. You see, you never should have left. Being with that man has condemned you to death.” He grinned, his claws elongating before her eyes.“It will be a complete shame to rip a beautiful woman like you apart in my beast form, at least like this I get to enjoy some certain thrills.” He ended, his eye
“Rhode!” Megan screamed as she hurriedly brushed through the masses of dead bodies and thick bush of the forest, she had to get to him fast.“Megan, stay where you are, don't move.” Rhode mindlinked, causing Megan to halt. She had no choice but to listen to him, strange things were occurring all around her, and she was confused.“Megan! There you are!” A relieved voice exclaimed to her right and Megan turned around with great relief to see Rhode running towards her, and he was alright, no limbs missing! “I have been trying to reach you!” Megan cried and as soon as she was close enough, she stretched out a hand to hit him on the chest, so angry with relief.“I am sorry.” Rhode apologized, doing nothing but letting her hit him, and hit him as she pleased.“I am sorry.” He repeated again, causing Megan to pause her assault as she stared up at him with worry in her large brown eyes.“You are not saying anything else, what's wrong with you?” She asked frantically. “Are you hurt, injured?”
He suddenly came to a halt and Megan's tear filled eyes widened.“W_what are you doing?” She asked as she stared at him. Quickly putting her down gently on her feet, Rhode elongated in front of her with a roar and changed to his wolf form.And for a moment the simple majesty of his wolf momentarily distracted Megan from her pain.He was magnificent, about seven feet tall and as broad. As silvery white as the moon with a mark of the crescent right underneath its purple eyes.Walking before her, he allowed his body to lower itself to the ground for Megan to be able to climb on.Understanding what he meant to do, Megan's eyes swelled in gratitude. Wolves were always going to be faster in their animalistic form than their human one, so she knew that what he just did was a way to warm her heart and reassure her and she softened at the thought before accepting.Holding on to the smoothly rich fur of the wolf as a leverage, she swung herself over to his back he took off in a sprint, faster
Brian had never known that seeing a person cry could hurt more than having his own stomach pierced and his limbs removed, he had never thought that it was possible to want to go on a rampage and kill whatever was causing that person's tears. Frankly to say, he was never a romantic person, too stoic and practical in his ways, he believed romance to be an imaginative paperback created by an idealist.And that was precisely the reason why his arms seemed to freeze as they hovered above the sobbing woman that seemed to think it was a good idea to launch herself into his arms.As she cried out her troubles and whimpered into his chest, his rage mounted with every quivering breath that escaped her delectably plump lips.“It's okay darlin, it's not your fault.” He tried to say calmly, he was after all ill experienced with situations like this. But for some reason, her sobs seemed to heighten as she completely sagged against him and he had to brace and support both of them.“Shit! I forgot wh
Aspen was beside herself, she had been waiting for feedback from the rogue mercenary group she had hired to do her dirty job, but there was nothing from them, she could not reach them and they were obviously not reaching out to her.She was becoming more and more paranoid as the hours went by, it was a pretty simple plan really. Kill Megan and if possible that bastard husband of her’s as well, but if that was not possible then they were advised to withdraw right after attacking Megan.“Ah!” She yelled as she paced the length of her room uneasily. There were various scenarios running through her head, what if Megan was not dead though, what if the stupid rogues made a mistake that implicated her? What if the East were gearing up to war with the West just because of her?She shuddered at the thought. She knew Richardson would not hesitate to throw her to the wolves literally if it would prevent him from going to war, the coward, Megan raged.“My lady.” A maid stepped inside, causing th
Past alphas of the Jared family chose their wives from the Brighton family, where Megan was from. The case of the wife of the alpha being his mate was not a necessity for the Jared clan. Their marriages were strictly political. The former alpha, Ronald, chose Megan Brighton to be the next luna. To everyone’s surprise however, Megan turned out to be his son, Richardson’s mate. Leading everyone to believe theirs was a union of love. Richardson and Megan had been friends since they were young cubs, growing together as they were to get married in the event of the alpha’s demise. They worked together on how to rule the pack together, Megan was the perfect luna. Until this day. “I accept the divorce.” Megan said before the priest. Taking everyone in the courthouse by surprise They had heard the news of the divorce but thought Megan would put up a fight and not relinquish her role so easily. Even Richardson was surprised. Aspen tried her best to hide her smile of relief. “And I ask for
The next day came around and for the first time since she officially became Luna, she detested getting out of bed. She always looked forward to fulfilling her duties for the day as it gave her a sense of purpose but this particular day all she felt was gloom and anger.Regardless of how she was feeling, Megan got up from bed and rang for her ladies. Her duties were not going to fulfill themselves. She needed to keep busy now more than ever since Aspen was moving to the castle as Richardsons official concubine.She never thought that he would ever take a concubine.15 years ago.Megan was 12 and Richardson was 15. They were lying on the lawn after completing their lessons for the day.“Do you think you will ever take a concubine?” Megan asked, taking a bite out of her cookie. “The law allows it but what do you think?” She added.“My dad never took a concubine. The thought of that will simply break my mother’s heart.” He said.“Plus, I wouldn’t do that to you. One woman is enough for m
The meeting was adjourned in about an hour as it was only a customary visit. Rhode’s father, the former alpha and ruler of his empire, died of a disease that almost wiped out his entire family two years ago.Thankfully, Rhode was out on a mission and was not infected. Rhode assumed the role as alpha and in just a year he brought the Wales clan up the ladder and they were only second to the Jared kingdom in influence. In raw strength however, that was up for debate.Megan couldn’t shake off the feeling that she had seen Rhode before. He felt all too familiar and he looked at her often during the visit although she refused to look back at him. It was an insult to your husband as Luna to look at another male in the presence of your husband, especially one from another pack.After all the visitors had left, Megan got up to leave the courtroom.“It would do you well to have a group of reporters come see you.” Richardson said.“Why?” Megan asked. “Word has reached me that rumors have spread

Richardson had been going restless for the past few days, frankly he had been restless since Megan broke his heart. The wench had left him, and knowing deep inside that Rhode might be a better option was a bitter pill to swallow.“Alpha, what are we going to do?” The sound of his adviser dragged him back to reality and Richardson saw the beady eyes of the council members gleaming at him with more than a little disdain and suspicion.“Alpha, are you alright?” The voice asked again, and Richardson felt the beginning of a cold sweat breaking across his forehead and gliding smoothly down his back as he clenched the armrest of his seat and forced himself to stay calm.“I_i am quite alright.” He managed to stammer as his heart ached for Megan with every fiber of his being. If she was there she would have handled everything, cut down every hint of chaos and disharmony, and brought their heads to him on a silver platter for him to judge their sins, she was amazing.Not that this sudden epipha
They are Elves.” Rhode laughed at her shock before moving backwards a few steps and stretching his arms.“Welcome to Wosgaria! A little Kingdom of beauty, magic and Elves. And oh, they belong to my family.” He ended and Megan's eyes grew to thrice its original size.“B_but Wosgaria is said to be lost. How can this be?” She asked in awe and he shrugged.“After the great war of Alphas years back, many other species were affected by the rampaging of lands and their lives were not spared. So that is how the whole lost Kingdom thing came about. The Elves were Thought to have died off but they simply went into hiding because the blood in their veins made them a target.” He explained as Megan listened intently, watching as the Elves continuously poured magic into the ground to rejuvenate the earth.“This is so fascinating.” She breathed, moving slowly, almost wishing for the time to freeze so that she could be in that moment forever.“But they are not normal Elves, are they?” Megan asked cur
Turned out that Rhode's idea of a thrill was to go scavenging in the woods as he liked to call it, and Megan suppressed the smile that threatened to overtake her face.“You have to hurry my lady!” Rhode looked behind him to tell as he noticed that she was not beside him, and she rolled her eyes.“I have never done this before.” Megan confessed as they moved further away from the palace and deeper into the woods.Rhode turned to look at her with a laugh and Megan scowled.“Don't frown sweetheart.” He chuckled as he stretched back his hands for her to grab unto and she only hesitated for a moment before latching on with a grin.“You are the Alpha now, I'm not sure you can do this.” Megan frowned again, concern for him coating her words like honey, and Rhode could not be happier to hear them, she cared for him. He grinnedMegan recalled all her years back home, and how the only thing she was truly free to do that was not associated with royalty was to tend to her garden and as a result,
Megan stretched awake as she felt the bright rays of sunlight hit her face from behind her closed lashes.Groaning, she opened her eyes, shocked to see Rosetta and Briana already awake and in her room talking in hushed tones.This had never happened before, no one rose earlier than the queen, but she guessed came with a lot of limitations, and for a moment she was unsure how to proceed. They seemed busy.“Oh my, my lady you are awake!” A shrill voice shook Megan from her thoughts and she looked up to see Rosetta running towards her with bright eyes.“Good morning my lady.” Brianna greeted with a softer tone and an even softer smile.“This is the first time the sun has woken before me.” Megan laughed lightly, as she stood up and allowed Rosetta to drape a silk robe over her.“For a moment I was unsure on how to act.” Megan grinned, and the smile was similar to a school girl's grin which was something her ladies had never seen before, and they looked at each other in delight.“You are s
