The Rogue Queenย ย ย Chapter 24
Five years laterPOV Thea The first few months after Alpha Eric went missing dragged on. The Alpha and Luna search Alpha Donteโs manor a hundred times. Sending scouts to patrol the grounds for over a year but nothing but one family coming back from vacation was ever found. The lycans didnโt return. Eric and them seemed to vanish. The Alpha and Luna had hope that he was still out there. His connection to the pack had never been severed. So he is alive out there somewhere. Eventually Alpha Aiden blamed himself, believing that Eric chose not to come back because he was so hard on him. Alpha Aiden has grown cold and distant over the years and Luna Joann has lost her smile. Everyone tells me stories of how happy they were before. Candice and Brent took me in and raised me as their own. I donโt remember much of what happened, Candice says itโs a trauma response and best if I donโt remember. I wish I could miss him and often feel guilty that I donโt. Having only meet him once and ev

POV Thea After the attack on the clinic five years ago the Luna insisted everyone attend pack training, not just the warriors. As soon as you got your wolf you belong to Zandra and being the supposed Lunar wolf I had training five days a week ever since I was 12. Not that it did me any good. Zandra is huge, claws the size of my head and teeth like razor blades. Selova is faster but we were still no match. Itโs down right embarrassing getting beat by a two hundred some odd year old wolf in front of half the school five days a week. I swear Tiffany shows up just to watch me fail. Out on the training grounds four other pairs had sparred up. Miss Evens waddled her little self up to her side. Sheโs even shorter than Amira. โYou ready Thea.โ She asked. Not looking up at me, she just went about her business neatly folding her clothes. Not that I was looking but I hope my body still looks half that good at her age. I laughed to myself, instantly knowing it was a mistake. Miss Evens j

POV Omega Gavin Walking to the far West boarder I came to the hollowed out tree. Removing the bag that I had hidden there. I removed my contacts and placed them in their case. Stripping off my close I placed them in the bag before stuffing it back into the tree trunk. I needed to run, I couldnโt stop the distain from building up. It had been five years since I heard anything from the King. After warning them of Alpha Eric and Beta Darienโs hastiness to speak with Alpha Dante. Then Raymondโs failed attempt at apprehending the girl when I released him from the jail I waited for the new plan. How was I supposed to know that Miss Evens would risk exposing herself to save that girl. I had wondered if she was another of the Kings spies sent here to make sure I did my job. There is no doubt now that she is not an ally to the King. I returned to the mansion to find it empty. Everything gone. The King has forsaken me, I have been abandoned. It isnโt my fault Raymond was incapable of

POV Thea Jason pulled around the corner of my street, stopping in front of my house to let me out. Candice came out in her hot pink scrubs, taking one look at the car. โAgain.โ She said with a heavy sigh. โYa, I told him I would help him sand it down this weekend.โ I told her. She wrapped her arms around me smashing me up against her. โThis isnโt your fault sweetie.โ She tried to reassure me. I waved as Jason and Amira took off. โItโs not, not my fault. If they didnโt hang out with me this wouldnโt happen.โ Giving me a quick kiss on the cheek she turned to get in her car. โWho wouldnโt want to hang out with you? Maybe next time you can take my car. Iโve always wanted a hit pink Jeep.โ She called back to me before climbing in her rig and leaving. โWhat do you want to do?โ I asked Selova. โPizza and a movie with Amira and Jason.โ She suggested. โWe just saw them like five seconds ago.โ โA run maybe?โ She asked with hope in her voice. โHow can you have all this energy.

POV Aiden Thomas found the girls easily and sent them home. It was no secret that there was no love lost between Omega Gavin and I but I did not wish him dead. The permanent lose of the ability to speak would have done just fine. I arrived thirty minutes or so after Thomas. Omega Gavinโs body had been visibly dragged from the spot the girls saw him by the tree earlier back into the creek. Whoever moved him did not bother to cover that fact. Rolling him on his back his heart had been ripping from his chest. From the lack of blood on the trail he was knocked out first and moved here before he was killed. Thomas crouched over the body. โWe sure heโs dead. He was a heartless bastered before so I donโt think this should stop him.โ โShow some respect.โ I snapped at him. Thomas looked back at me with a stagnant expression. Omega Gavin would be missed by very few but he was still a member of this pack. โWrap him up and get his remains to the morgue. Iโll go let his mate know.โ

POV Aiden We transferred Paula to the clinic I had called in Miss Evens for any ideas on what could be happening to her. She arrived within the hour as expected carrying at least a dozen books. Elijah, Miss Evens and I all sat around the table in the break room. โStart at the beginning.โ Miss Evens said pulling out a pen and a notebook. โThea and Amira went swimming at the pond at the end of the creek. They noticed the blood in the water and followed it to find Gavinโs body. When Thea contacted me saying he was dead I didnโt believe her at first. Neither the Luna or I felt anything from him out of the ordinary. Not that I make an effort to feel for him.โ I said rolling my eyes. Miss Evens jotted down her notes before chewing on her pen. โYou said you think Gavin was moved to the creek before he was killed?โ She asked. โI couldnโt be sure but there was no blood trail. Distinct drag marks ran from the tree to the creek but there were no signs of blood. Splatter on the bank l

POV Aiden Paula was still groggy from sedation but we hoped she could help us figure out what was going on between her and her wolf. Miss Evens and I sat in chairs next to her trying not to scare her anymore that she was. โPaula, can you hear me?โ I asked. โWhere am I?โ She asked. โWe moved you to the clinic and sedated your wolf. Thereโs some concern that Gavinโs death has effected her.โ I told her. โWho is this Gavin you keep mentioning is dead. I donโt know anyone by that name.โ She replied. Miss Evens and I looked at each other. My concern growing about her mental state. โHow about we try this a different way.โ Miss Evens said. โWhy donโt you tell us about yourself and we will see if we can piece together whatโs going on from there.โ โOk.โ She said calming down a little. โMy name is Paula Lawrence. Iโm a member of the Black Moon pack.โ Miss Evens and I looked at each other with raised eyebrows. โMy husband David and I have three children, Emma, Brandon and Emery

POV Thea The pack buzzed excitedly at the arrival of Paulaโs family. Strange to think how open everyone was to the idea that she had a whole other life outside of Omega Gavin. Amira and I got tasked with arranging the grandchildrenโs rooms. We jumped at the opportunity to get out of the pack house. The Alpha and Luna have been a little over bearing. I know losing Eric has made them overly cautious but the mere fact that Omega Gavin died near us doesnโt necessarily put us at risk. Candice and Brent made the decision to quickly for me. They didnโt even think about letting me stay home. Now Amira and I are basically on lock down. We canโt leave the house even to go to school without warriors with us. Amira likes to pretend we are royalty who needs guards to protect us. Leaving it to her to find a way to make it fun. It wasnโt much but Alpha Aiden wanted to put them up in a few empty houses down the road from the pack house. Overall it would be small for as many people as were

POV Juxes We combed through the bunker like robbers looking for valuables. Grabbing one book and skimming through it before tossing it aside and grabbing the next. The pile of books growing by the minute. Candice stopping as she was walking in. โMiss Evens would be so pissed. Sheโs going to haunt us all for this mess.โ She giggled. โHer ghost will just have to wait and maybe she would understand. She did always have a soft spot for Eric and Thea.โ Nicolas said with a shrug. โDo you think she knew they were mates?โ Thomas asked. โItโs doubtful.โ I grumbled, waving my hand at them implying they need to get back at it. Thomas still walking around with a piece of jerky hanging out of his mouth. I swear heโs eaten half his body weight by now. Was taking small vials off one of the book cases and smelling each one, then reading the label. His hand bumped a small glass vial with a glass cork holding in its contents. As the black tar like substance oozed out of the jar, Thomas threw

POV Eric Braxton slammed forward taking control in an instant. His large hands almost crushing the vial before dropping it onto the bed. Eyes scanning the room as he in hailed deeply. His nose scrunching with each large sniff. Theaโs scent still lingered heavily throughout the room, he rolled his shoulders popping the vertebrae between his shoulder blades as the scent of vampire blood burned his nostrils. Turning his head to the side and scrunching his face as a small whiff of something almost Krissy but not quite came through. Only realizing now that I had caught the scent in the courtyard. I remembered the huddle of Lycans there. I reminded him to pick up the vial before leaving the room. โNo!โ He said plainly, turning to leave. โMust I remind you, the King will cut off parts of us we are fairly attached to should it be misplaced.โ I told him. โI wonโt give it to her.โ He growled. โIโm not saying we do, Iโm just saying we canโt leave it here.โ I pleaded. With a gr
The Rogue Queenย ย ย Chapter 57
POV Thea Eyes closed, my limbs feeling heavy. The sound of a childโs laughter came to me in the distance. Like a tv had been left on in another room, I could hear it but couldnโt quite make out the words. A sharp scent hit my nose making me gag and my eyes jolt open. Krissy sat on my chest making it hard to breathe. Her face inches from mine. Her black eyes swirling with hints of every color. โYou canโt sleep now.โ She whispered. A low growl rumbled in her chest as she spoke. Her voice not quite her own. Moving my head back I tried to move far enough away for my eyes to focus. I could hear the sound of one of her claws elongating before cutting into the skin on my collar bone. โOw, what the fuck Krissy.โ I hissed bringing my hand up to check the bleeding. She leaned back putting her full weight on my stomach. Raising her hand to her mouth she licked the blood from her nail. A mischievous crooked grin slowly forming on her face. Watching in amazement as her swirling black
The Rogue Queenย ย ย Chapter 56
POV Eric Nervously leading Thea into my quarters, I placed the books down on my small table. I would show her around but there wasnโt much to see. A king sized bed with a small metal frame, an oversized chair and a reading nook by the window made up the entirety of my world here. She yawned heavily, the sedative I had put in her food beginning to take effect. โIt doesnโt look like much but itโs very comfortable.โ I told her, patting the bed. She was hesitant at first I moved away from the bed giving her some space. She yawned again. โI donโt know why Iโm so tired all of a sudden.โ She said sleepily. As she yawned the third time I knew she was fighting sleep, no doubt uneasy with being in my room. I needed her out and soon, Francis was pushing hard to get the serum in her. I understood once she had her powers it would be harder to make her stay but I wanted so badly to not have to make her. Why Francis was so insistent she take it was beyond me. Sheโs the Lunar wolf, a perfect b

POV Juxes The lights clicked on eliminating the bunker. The layout was interesting but not surprising, taking on the appearance of mansion style formal sitting room. The entrance had been hidden from us but Miss Evens had obviously spent a large portion of her time here. Not a speck of dust could be found and everything was neatly in its place. The only thing not where it belongs was a blueprint laying across one of the chairs. The corner had an address, totaling 10 pages spanning 200 years. It was the same building but each page illustrated a addition of some sort. We spread out looking for anything useful. I tried making sense of the blueprints but couldnโt understand most of it. For the first time I reached out for Aiden, he knew more about this than I did and I now regretted not paying attention when he had plans drawn up for the ski lodge. Nicolas found his way to one of the many bookcases. Running his hands over the rows he shuttered. โAre all these books made of skin?โ
The Rogue Queenย ย ย Chapter 54
POV Thea The first book he handed me looked very old, the pages were mismatched and you could tell it had been repaired in one way or another several times. โThis is Francisโs journal, he wrote down everything he remembers happening. He started right after he built the main building here. To keep record of what happened before. It only seemed right considering Alabaster had begun writing his own version of how it all started.โ He said with a sort. โWas he there?โ I asked. โAlabaster? No, he was human. Joanโs mate and when they took off, him and Joan started making up their own version of the beginning.โ Eric said. Flipping through the pages he found what he was looking for and stopped. Tapping his finger on the page. โWe were told that Abigail refused the spirits deal. That she wouldnโt sacrifice a child to have one of her own.โ โHer husband did.โ I stated. โNo! She wouldnโt sacrifice a child from her tribe. She made a deal with Francis, one of his tribes children and in r

POV Juxes โWhat were you up to Miss Evens?โ I asked aloud as I stood in front of the vault door. There is no key hole or handle to be seen. The engraving depicts a Lycan facing a girl. The girl was holding a dagger behind her back. There is an impression in the door. Running my hand over the indentation, this part of the door was meticulously cleaned. โDid you know this was here?โ Asked Thomas. โNo. In all my years as Alpha I didnโt think there was an inch of the territory Alex or I hadnโt covered, yet here we are.โ Moving some of the grass from beside the door to have a better look, so far it appeared the door and walls were metal. Nicolas climbed on the small mound that covered the roof and dug down until he hit metal as well. โThis is one big ass metal box.โ He announced. โYouโre telling me Miss Evens snuck a giant metal box onto the territory and buried it out here and no one noticed.โ Thomas said sarcastically. โI doubt she snuck it in.โ I told him. โLook at the area ar

POV Thea The kitchen was buzzing with people, they were oblivious to us until Eric swung the door open. They all quickly shuffled into a line behind the island in the center of the room. A few were noticeably shaking when he drew nearer. โAll of the staff are werewolves. These are all Omegas or rogues, unfit for the change.โ Eric said proudly. I couldnโt hide my disgust. โWhy would you say they are unfit? Are you saying they arenโt worth going through your big transformation because of their pack status?โ I almost spat the words at him. โOn the contrary, we have found only those with Alpha or Beta genes can survive. We spared them a painful death and found them a place here among us. I thought that would please you?โ His brow furrowed. Taking in a deep breath, I tried to compose myself. By all accounts Lycans killed any werewolf they came across. Seeing a full staff of them was a surprise. โWhat about the girls?โ I asked. Now wondering why those three had been separated from
The Rogue Queenย ย ย Chapter 51
POV Thea Eric told me about how he was kidnapped and woke up in my glass cell. Zoe gave him the serum while he was still to weak to fight them. I noticed he skipped over any details about the change and went on to tell me about getting released and meeting everyone here. As he recalled the events I also noticed he showed no fear of what happened. โOnce Francis knew he could trust me I was free to roam the grounds. Just like I did, you will see. This is where you belong. For five hundred years they have waited for your return. There is no where safer on earth for you.โ Eric told me. โNo place creepier either.โ Sel said sarcastically in my head. โI can understand why you would choose them.โ I told her. โWhat do you mean?โ She asked. โFrancis said you chose the Lycans last time you were here. Being the Lunar wolf is heavy. Carrying all of that power and responsibility is a lot for one person. The Lycans have waited for us for five hundred years. I almost feel obligated to the
