The Rogue Queen Chapter 40
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

POV Thea I snatched the blanket from his hands quickly wrapping it around myself. Sitting back on my feet I just sat there looking at him for the longest time. “Do I really have a choice?” I asked. My tone sarcastic and mean. Eric sat back stretching out his legs and resting his back against the glass. “Well, no. Not really. I’m going to tell you anyway. It’s not like you’re going anywhere.” He said with a small exhale of air, like a silent laugh. Moving his hand to pick a piece of food that had flown in my hair. I smacked it away before he could reach me. Eric sighed deeply. “Where do I even begin?” He ran his fingers through his hair. “Everything you’ve been told about werewolves, lycans and Abigail is a lie.” He told me. “Am I even your mate or is that a lie too.” I asked. Holding back tears. Now unable to look at him at all. “You are the Lunar wolf, the salvation of lycans and yes. You are my mate.” He said. Leaning his face down trying to get me to look at him. “The

POV Thea My brain was buzzing. This was far to much to try to take in all at once. “Sel, do you remember any of this?” I asked her. She replied with a stern, “no!” “Do you believe them?” I asked. “I don’t know what to think. I can’t believe that everyone would lie all these years. To us and to each other. It makes me wonder if anyone knows the truth. I find it really hard to accept that the lycans have just been misunderstood or misrepresented all this time.” Selova responded with a heavy sigh. “We have to get out of here.” I told her. “Couldn’t agree more but we have this whole glass box situation.” Selova growled. “If they think we are buying all this I bet they will let us out. I don’t see anyone else in cages. Eric seems to walk around freely.” I said. “So you have a plan.” She asked. “I think so.” I told her. Francis and Krissy left not long after introducing themselves. Eric stayed and cleaned up the mess I made, after bringing in some clothes and showing me a

POV Thea I wasn’t sure how I got stuck in the middle of this. Krissy held a death grip around my neck as Francis paced angrily. He obviously didn’t want to take it out on her or show her how mad he was but there was no hiding it from me. Eric walked over to him, trying to calm him down. “She’s fine, she’s right here with Thea. How about we go get breakfast and come back for her after.” Placing his hand on Francis shoulder he leaned down and whispered something in his ear. Whatever he said worked. Francis demeanor changed and he walked up to Krissy and I. “I need to get something to eat. Would you like to come with me or do you want to stay here a little longer?” Francis asked Krissy. “Can I stay Daddy?” She asked. Her eyes shinning and hopeful. “Of course my pet.” He replied. I shuddered at his words. Remembering when he had said them in my dream. “Why don’t you show Thea around a little when she’s ready.” He said. Leaning down and kissing her forehead. He came within in

POV Thomas Beta Sebastian and his family all told similar stories. A few had seen the Luna head out the back alone and a couple remember Alpha Eric and Thea going out the side door in the kitchen. I sent men to clean up the back of the house and bring everything to Dr. Stevenson. A couple men went to the clinic to donate blood for Jason. He would recover but his healing was slowed by the amount of blood loss. I had released Beta Sebastian and the others having no reason to hold them. No matter how hard I tried to focus my mind kept wondering back to the outside of the pack house. Zandra was ripped to pieces, no one here could beat her in a fair fight. Shit no one could beat her in an unfair fight. Many of the warriors have tired taking her. She easily defeated three to four of them at a time. The Luna wasn’t defenseless either. Having trained almost every day after Eric disappeared she was a force to be reckoned with as well. I sat on the floor, staring through the bars of t

POV Eric High in the north tower the chair next to the window gave me a perfect view of the children’s play area. I watched as Selova ran and played with the girls. Her white coat covered in several different colors as the girls had painted her earlier. They bounced and ran playing what I could only assume is some form of tag. Taking turns riding on the wolf and chasing each other before falling to the ground laughing. Braxton growled in my head. “Mate!” Was all he said. We hadn’t thought about the possibility of having a mate after the change. Francis would find a werewolf mate unacceptable but Braxton wasn’t Lycan enough for a Lycan mate. It couldn’t be more perfect that my mate was the Lunar wolf. The Lycans would have to accept me now. Gazing across the courtyard pairs of Lycans walked hand in hand while children played in the playground or in the open yards. I had sat here watching them for years never dreaming that one day I could be one of them. My attention turned

POV Thea It didn’t take long for Krissy to convince the other two girls that I wasn’t a awful werewolf monster. They wanted nothing more than to see Selova. I only partially understood how they had never seen a werewolf before. The oldest girl Taylor told me they had all been here as long as they could remember. Krissy was born here which I found peculiar. Eric and Francis had told me she went through the change. She’s supposed to be Lycan now but if she was born here there has to be werewolves here somewhere. Unfortunately none of the girls had answers for me but they were full of ideas for other things. First they wanted to use some paints they had to make Selova look like Krissy’s unicorn. Then we played a game of chase where they took turns pretending to be a werewolf and riding on Selova’s back. We chased each one down and tickled them relentlessly. I hadn’t noticed the elevator opening or Eric stepping out until Krissy darted across the room to him. He held out a lar

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
