The Rogue Queen Chapter 34
POV Thea We didn’t make it to the gate before Jason wanted answers. “So what are we really up to?” He asked. “If I tell you do you promise not to make fun of me?” I asked. “Absolutely not, that would be against my nature.” He held his hand up to his heart. “I promise to relentlessly make fun of you any chance I get until the day I die!” “I have grown to expect nothing less.” I told him. “I want to get Eric some clothes. I know it’s stupid but he saved me. I’ve been living with his pack and his family this whole time while he went through…” My mind drifted off as I looked out the window thinking of the deep scars that covered his body. “We don’t know what happened to him but he could be my mate. At least he’s sure he is and I know it’s nothing compared to what he’s done for me but it’s something.” Jason didn’t say anything just continued to look at the road as we passed the gates. “You think it’s dumb don’t you?” I asked. For once he didn’t have a smart ass comment. His fac

POV Joann My head was still spinning. Could Thea really be Eric’s mate? As if today couldn’t get more overwhelming. Paula’s family arrived shortly after Thea and Jason left the territory. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was definitely a relief when they arrived. I wouldn’t have been surprised if they had blamed us for Paula’s disappearance but on the contrary they were just relieved that we had contacted them. Beta Sebastian lead the way as is customary. They all bore a striking resemblance to Paula. Her dark brown hair, olive complexion and hazel eyes passed down in one way or another to her children and grandchildren. Her mate David on the other hand looked completely out of place. His long dark brownish red hair put back in a neat braid that came to the middle of his back. His full red beard did nothing to hide his bright freckles against his pale skin. I laughed to myself. Paula was always nice but never very friendly. She seemed quite and reserved but her family to

POV Thea When we got back to the car my phone was blinking. I had missed a call from Luna Joann. I sent her a quick text message. “On our way back now. Sorry I left my phone in the car.” My phone instantly buzzed. “Glad you’re ok. I was getting worried. Dinner is at seven.” She messaged back. Looking at the time, we had over an hour to get back. Returning just before dark, it was obvious that Paula’s family had arrived by the four cars parked in front of the pack house with out of state plates. Although I was happy for Paula to have her family here I had to admit I didn’t want to stay in a house filled with strangers. Jason sensing my hesitation. “Do you want to go home first?” “That would be great. I really like to shower and change clothes before we have to meet all these people.” Pulling up to the house Brent and Candice were home. I left the bags in the car and went inside. Candice greater me with a smile and a hug. “How is sleeping at the pack house?” She asked.

POV Joann Paula had confessed that Omega Gavin had been the one harassing Thea all these years. We had already assumed as much from what we found stashed in his hidden tree. By far the most confusing confession is when she told me she killed him. I didn’t want to believe it. Her shy demeanor made it hard to believe that she would murder her husband. Alpha Aiden and I sat in his office while she recalled every gruesome detail. From dragging his body to the stream and how she killed him. Everything lining up with Dr. Stevenson’s findings and the reports from those at the area. Eric stood calmly at her side, one hand resting on her shoulder. Softly encouraging her through the process. I could feel Aiden swelling with pride at how Eric was handling the situation. For once I wished we didn’t have such a deep connection because I knew he could feel my apprehension. This all felt wrong. Paula went on to explain how Iris had snapped. She couldn’t remember the details be knew she

POV Aiden Joann was nervous about having to decide Paula’s fate. I squeezed her hand hoping to sooth her but it didn’t seem to help. Eric watched over Paula. My heart filled with pride watching him look after her. Reassuring her through every part of her confession. He was going to be a better Alpha then I ever could have dreamt. My head filling with thoughts of starting his Alpha training. Soon I would get to see him fight, could he beat Miss Evens and Zandra. They had remained undefeated despite Thea and Selova’s many attempts. I had tuned out the conversation completely until Eric handed Paula a tissue and said something about her family. Shortly afterwards Joann left the room. Paula wrapped her tiny arms around Eric’s waistline before quickly following after her. Eric walked over to me, a full head taller, I had to look up at him. Placing his hand on my shoulder. “Paula and Iris will be fine now. I spoke with Iris and she understands the consequences of such behavior.”

POV Thea The darkness is damp, smelling of mold with a hint of sulfur. Warm light grows in front of me and three faces are uncovered by the light. I know these faces but who are they? The woman’s voice sounds like music, she reaches over picking me up and setting me on her lap. She smiles sweetly, kissing my temple before fixing my little pink shoe. The girl hands me a piece of food, I happily take it and wiggle my feet while I eat it. They all laugh and smile, the man kisses my forehead and the girl holds my hand. Voices can be heard but they are far away. I tiny pinpoint of light appears. The man looks at a white light that is slowly getting bigger. The girl runs towards the light while the man whispers. “Hide now.” I know that voice but I can’t place it. Wrapping her arms around me the woman picks me up and I feel my shoulder scrap something hard. “Ouch.” I say. “Quite sweetheart. No matter what, you stay here and be quiet. Ok? Mommy loves you.” She says forcing

POV Thea I lay in the darkness, the floor stripping the heat down to my bones. Sleep is a distant memory from another place. I dare not fall asleep. Every time I drift off I’m back in that cave. Listen to the screams of what I now know is my family. Trapped in endless darkness when I’m awake and unending suffering if I dare sleep. I beg Sel not to heal me, let the darkness and cold swallow me. If this is my life now then let it end. My mind drifts to Eric. How could he do this to me? If I am his mate, how could he want this for me? Was this his life all those years? My heart hurts just thinking of what happened before I ended up here. Walking through the trees in the moonlight. Holding my hand, Eric stopped me with a gentle pull. Turning me to face him, it felt like he looked at me forever. I could see his wolf in his eyes. It felt like his soul touched mine when he kissed me. Then everything went dark. A click and hum signals the lights have come on somewhere in the giant roo

POV Aiden Juxes snarled at the carnage. Blood and body parts from Joann and Miss Evens covering the patio. Splatters and chunks of flesh hanging off the side of the house. His breathing becoming more rapid and deeper with every exhale. I let his rage consume me. I couldn’t take the heartbreak and sorrow. It is so much easier to sink into his anger. Juxes charged back into the house leaving a trail of bloody paw prints all the way to the foyer. Charging past Paula’s family while they were all too stunned to realize what was happening. Pouncing on Paula and pinning her to the floor. Razor sharp teeth millimeters from her throat. “Where is he?” Juxes growled. “Who?” Paula whimpered. Juxes snapped his jaws, grabbing her throat in his mouth. Several teeth slowly cutting through the skin on her neck. No bothering to repeat the question. He just growled, the vibration causing more teeth to cut into her soft flesh. Paula’s family shifting, pushing the children out of the way i

The Rogue Queen Chapter 59
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. “Miss Evens would be so pissed. She’s going to haunt us all for this mess.” She giggled. “Her ghost will just have to wait and maybe she would understand. She did always have a soft spot for Eric and Thea.” Nicolas said with a shrug. “Do you think she knew they were mates?” Thomas asked. “It’s doubtful.” 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 he’s 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
The Rogue Queen Chapter 58
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. Thea’s 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. “No!” He said plainly, turning to leave. “Must I remind you, the King will cut off parts of us we are fairly attached to should it be misplaced.” I told him. “I won’t give it to her.” He growled. “I’m not saying we do, I’m just saying we can’t leave it here.” I pleaded. With a gr
The Rogue Queen Chapter 57
POV Thea Eyes closed, my limbs feeling heavy. The sound of a child’s laughter came to me in the distance. Like a tv had been left on in another room, I could hear it but couldn’t 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. “You can’t sleep now.” 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. “Ow, what the fuck Krissy.” 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 Queen 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 wasn’t 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. “It doesn’t look like much but it’s very comfortable.” I told her, patting the bed. She was hesitant at first I moved away from the bed giving her some space. She yawned again. “I don’t know why I’m so tired all of a sudden.” 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. She’s the Lunar wolf, a perfect b
The Rogue Queen Chapter 55
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 couldn’t 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. “Are all these books made of skin?”
The Rogue Queen 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. “This is Francis’s 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.” He said with a sort. “Was he there?” I asked. “Alabaster? No, he was human. Joan’s mate and when they took off, him and Joan started making up their own version of the beginning.” Eric said. Flipping through the pages he found what he was looking for and stopped. Tapping his finger on the page. “We were told that Abigail refused the spirits deal. That she wouldn’t sacrifice a child to have one of her own.” “Her husband did.” I stated. “No! She wouldn’t sacrifice a child from her tribe. She made a deal with Francis, one of his tribes children and in r
The Rogue Queen Chapter 53
POV Juxes “What were you up to Miss Evens?” 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. “Did you know this was here?” Asked Thomas. “No. In all my years as Alpha I didn’t think there was an inch of the territory Alex or I hadn’t covered, yet here we are.” 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. “This is one big ass metal box.” He announced. “You’re telling me Miss Evens snuck a giant metal box onto the territory and buried it out here and no one noticed.” Thomas said sarcastically. “I doubt she snuck it in.” I told him. “Look at the area ar
The Rogue Queen Chapter 52
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. “All of the staff are werewolves. These are all Omegas or rogues, unfit for the change.” Eric said proudly. I couldn’t hide my disgust. “Why would you say they are unfit? Are you saying they aren’t worth going through your big transformation because of their pack status?” I almost spat the words at him. “On 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?” 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. “What about the girls?” I asked. Now wondering why those three had been separated from
The Rogue Queen 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. “Once 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.” Eric told me. “No place creepier either.” Sel said sarcastically in my head. “I can understand why you would choose them.” I told her. “What do you mean?” She asked. “Francis 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
