The Shadow Howlers Chapter 20 - Gone
Psyche continued to pretend that she was too depressed to function. Her sisters were up to something, but she wasn't sure exactly what. She had heard about the woman they had watching over Selena and how she had died because of two pups. Psyche had been so happy that those pups saved her daughter. She knew Aglaura and Cidippe were going to try something else before they would have to take care of Selena themselves. Jameson was trying to figure out their plan, but he hadn't found anything so far. Psyche wanted to talk to Eros, but it was risky. If anyone found out, they would both be dead. Her sisters were only happy when making others miserable or ruining their lives. If they were successful in killing Selena, they would rub it in her face but play it off as though it was best for her so she could move on. Jameson walked into the room and looked at Psyche anxiously. He had some information for her but no real answers. "Where are they?" She asked quietly. Jameson held his finge
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 21 - Surprise
Everyone in the palace started searching for Trisha and Polly. Bianca felt sick that someone had gotten into the palace and taken the girls under their watch. Who would have done it, and why? She, Gunnar, Alani, and Omar went into every room on the second floor, hoping whoever had them hadn't had time to go far. "We have the pups. Come to our bedroom." Selena mindlinked everyone. When the two couples reached the King and Queen's room, they burst out laughing. King Zaiden was covered head to toe in glitter while Trisha and Polly looked at him, horrified. "We're sorry, King Zaiden. We thought you were the bad guy," Polly explained. "Girls, where were you? We thought someone had kidnapped you." Bianca said as she and Gunnar hugged them. "We were practicing pretending to sleep when you and Daddy checked on us. When we looked out of our room, we heard you talking about something being wrong. We're the Queen's guards
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 22 - Calling for Help
Gunnar held Bianca in his arms as the tears ran down his face. He didn't understand what happened. Who killed her? While he sobbed, the door burst open. Zaiden, Selena, and an older wolf named Ella ran into the room. Omar, carrying Alani, came in next. "Right before Alani passed out, she said she and Bianca had been poisoned," Omar said anxiously, kneeling next to Gunnar. "They're not dead, but they're barely breathing. Does anyone know what they were poisoned with?" Ella asked as she put her hands on Alani and Bianca. She was the palace healer and centuries old. "No," Everyone answered her. Ella rubbed her hands over Bianca and Alani's foreheads and closed her eyes. She suddenly opened them and looked at Selena. "This poison came from the gods. Queen Selena, their only hope is for you to save them. Please come here." Ella said. Selena knelt between Alani and Bianca. "What do I need to do?" She asked, looking
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 23 - Hermes
Andrew went to the dining hall the next morning to tell everyone about Nyx and Hermes. When he arrived, the others were already there. Polly and Trisha were extra careful about who approached Selena, even eyeing him suspiciously. "Good morning. I have some reinforcements coming to help us. I want to warn you because they're probably not exactly what you would expect as far as help," Andrew explained. "Okay, who are they?" Gunnar asked. He was nervous about anyone new after what happened to Bianca and Alani. "Nyx is the goddess of night. She's from the underworld. Hermes is the herald of the gods and travels between all realms. They're able to come to Earth, unlike those from the realm Selena and I come from. We need the power of the gods to fight the two goddesses. Having Nyx and Hermes here will give us that power, in addition to the power Selena and Zaiden now have." Andrew explained while everyone looked at him in shock
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 24 - Daphne
Hermes looked in disbelief at the woman with long reddish blonde hair who had just said he was her mate. Who was she, and where did she come from? Nyx looked from Hermes to the woman with envy. She wanted to be with someone, too. "Daphne? What's going on?" Alani asked, looking at the woman in question. She had also been rescued from the Last Moon pack and was training to be a warrior. They brought her to the palace because she was smart and strong, much like Alani. "I'm sorry for leaving my post. I was at the front gate when I picked up his scent. I couldn't stop myself; I had to find out where it was coming from. He's my mate." Daphne replied, looking at the gorgeous man in front of her. She had been a rogue when someone from the Last Moon pack kidnapped her and forced her into the underground cave. She had never cared about finding her mate, but looking at Hermes, she was thinking maybe she should have been looking all along. He wal
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 25 - Nyx's Plan
Nyx watched Daphne and Hermes with envy as they sat outside. Was she going to be the only one without a mate? She wouldn't have a problem with a shifter running to her and claiming she was his. In fact, it was something she had fantasized about a lot. "Are you Nyx? Are you from the underworld?" Polly asked her. Nyx looked at the two little pups and smiled. She wondered if she would ever have children. "Yes, I am. You're standing protectively in front of the Queen. You must be her guards," she said, studying them. Trisha and Polly's mouths fell open. "You can tell we're guards?" Trisha asked in disbelief. "Oh, definitely. Who else would be so protective of the Queen? It's a pleasure to meet you. What are your names?" She held her hand out to them, and both pups stood a little taller. Bianca and Gunnar beamed at Nyx for making their girls so happy. Maybe those from the underworld weren't so bad after all. "I'm Polly, and this is my Sister Trisha." Polly introduced everyo
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 26 - More Help
Eros sat at his desk feeling lost. He didn't like knowing Selena was somewhere he couldn't protect her, and Psyche's evil sisters were trying to kill her. He had to do something to help her. He hoped to protect Selena, end the sisters, and get Psyche back. What could he do without going to Selena's realm himself? Andrew was there, but his power was limited. He needed someone with fighting abilities. That's when he had an idea. "Helios, can you come and see me please?" He mindlinked the god of the sun. He was among the few who could travel between their realm and Earth. "On my way," Eros smiled as he sat back in his chair. He knew Helios would jump at the chance to help. He was often underrated because he was the god of the sun, and people assumed that meant he didn't have much to do. Helios appeared in his office, smiling. The power of magic meant the gods and goddesses could teleport just about anywhere they wanted. As you would expect,
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 27 - Whose Room?
Nyx flew out of the room and shut the door. Selena, Polly, and Trisha looked at her in concern. She had seen some terrible things, but the sight of a torso with missing limbs and head shook her. "What's wrong? What did you see?" Selena asked her. Nyx looked at the pups not sure she should tell them what was in the room. "We're not babies, we're guards," Polly said, crossing her arms. "I don't want to give you nightmares," Nyx said, looking at Selena. She wasn't used to being around pups, so she didn't know what was appropriate or not. "We've seen bad things and heard really bad things. It won't give us nightmares," Trisha replied before Selena could say anything. Nyx hoped Bianca and Gunnar wouldn't be mad at her. "Okay, but if your parents come after me you better guard me." She told them. Both smiled and nodded. "We will," Polly answered. "The room is dark, and there's evil energy. On the bed is a body with no arms, legs, or head. Who's room is that?" Nyx glanced at t

The Shadow Howlers Epilogue
One Year Later Gunnar and Bianca smiled as they watched Trisha and Polly talking with their brother as though he could respond. Ashton was a little over six months old. He had Gunnar's black hair and Bianca's hazel eyes. His sisters already spoiled him rotten. "Are you girls ready to go?" Bianca asked them. They were going to the palace. It was the first time that everyone who had been involved in the fight would all be together again with their little ones. "Yes. We can't wait to see all the babies," Polly said excitedly. Bianca picked up Ashton, changed his diaper, and put him in his car seat. "Knock, knock," Alani said as she walked into the room, followed by Omar carrying their son Phoenix. "Hi, little guy," Trisha said when Omar squatted down so she and Polly could kiss his cheeks. They had become the big sisters to everyone's little ones. Even though the entire group hadn't been all together, they had all met each other's children. A few minutes later, they were head
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 38 - The Fight Ends
Eris quickly made Polly and Trisha visible again, so they could see where they were. What everyone saw made them pause before running to their aid. Achyls was holding each of the pup's arms, but her hands on them seemed to be melting as she screamed in pain. Polly and Trisha stood together holding hands as Achyls fell to her knees. Nyx, Sabnac, and Eris got to them before anyone else. Sabnac pulled out a small bag of poison that he had made especially for Achyls and sprinkled it on her head. Eris removed her melted hands from the pups while Nyx grabbed Achyls and flew into the air with her. The poison Sabnac put on her paralyzed her. "Selena and Zaiden, throw one of your fireballs when I release her," Nyx said. "You can't kill me. I'm indestructible." Achyls yells. Her body was paralyzed, but her voice wasn't. "That's where you're wrong. With everyone I created, I ensured there was a way to kill them. That includes you. I promise it's going to hurt a lot." Nyx held Achyls awa
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 37 - The Fight
Gunnar, Bianca, the guards, and the warriors all shifted into their wolves and ran into the crowd of witches. Helios, Hermes, Nyx, Eris, and Sabnac ran with the wolves and used their magic on the witches. Some of the witches froze when they realized they were fighting gods and goddesses. They knew their magic wouldn't be able to defeat them. Selena and Zaiden stayed next to each other. From what Leto had said their powers would be stronger if they were together. They used their power to take out one witch at a time by throwing small balls of fire at them that turned them into ash instantly. Achyls stayed back to watch, but she was getting angrier and angrier as the witches were defeated. Polly and Trisha watched everything while holding hands. They wanted to help, but they would never disobey their parents. They watched their mom and dad's wolves attack one witch after another. Omar and Alani's wolves were ripping off the witch's heads as were the guards and other warriors.
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 36 - Achyls's Arrival
Achyls looked around at all her witches. They had come quickly, just like she knew they would. She hadn't told them what the plan was yet because she didn't want them to chicken out. She had seen Sabnac arrive and had to admit it caused her to have doubts about her plans. However, when she realized that he was now a big pushover she thought it was going to be a piece of cake to get rid of them all. Nyx she planned to save for last. She prepared the lie she would tell the witches to do what she wanted. "Thank you all for coming. We have a special task. It has come to my attention that the people who live at the lycan palace plan to eliminate all witches. We must stop them. They have many people who are planning to help them, some with powers that can rival ours. Don't be scared. We have the power of dark magic on our side. If they know anything about us then they should know that we don't play fair. I want you to use every spell and trick you know on them. We will leave as the sun
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 35 - Meeting Selene
“What do you mean, they have the mark of the goddesses?” Gunnar asked as he and Bianca squatted down next to Sabnac and looked into Trisha's and Polly's eyes. “Stare into their pupils. Do you see the gold flickering?” He asked. Bianca gasped as she stared into Trisha’s eyes. She’d never noticed that before. Gunnar was stunned when he saw the same thing in Polly’s eyes. “What does this mean?” Bianca asked. Polly and Trisha looked at Sabnac in confusion. “We aren’t pups?” Polly asked him. He chuckled a deep chuckle and everyone around him looked in disbelief at the demon. No one had thought they'd see a demon like him laugh. “You’re still pups, but you’re very special pups. A goddess sent you here. I don’t know who or why, but someone sent you to Earth. That’s why you both are so mature for your age and have good instincts.” He explained. “How do you know so much about this?” Alani asked.
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 34 - Goddess Marked
Jameson received a mindlink from Psyche that Sabnac was coming to help them. He couldn’t help the ripple of fear that ran down his spine. That demon was one scary man, but if Psyche trusted him with Selena, then he figured they should give him a chance. “Psyche just mindlinked me and said Sabnac is coming to help. He should be here soon.” Nyx, Helios, Andrew, and Hermes all gasped in surprise. “Who is Sabnac?” Selena asked. They were in the office trying to come up with a plan of attack. “He’s one of the scariest demons in the underworld. He and Psyche trust each other, though. He's the one who killed her sisters.” No sooner did Jameson finish speaking than there was a loud knock on the front door. “That’s probably him now,” Andrew said as they all stood up, left the office, and went to the front door. Polly and Trisha stayed in front of Selena. They wanted to see the demon for themselves before they tru
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 33 - Surprise Help
Jameson arrived at the palace at the same time he received a mindlink that the sisters were dead, Psyche was alive, and she was back with Eros. He sighed in relief as he approached the palace gates where guards were watching him. “Hello, my name is Jameson. Andrew is expecting me,” he said with a smile. The guards didn’t say anything as they mindlinked Gunnar. When they opened the gates, he bowed to them slightly. “Thank you, good men,” Jameson teleported to the palace doors. He could have done that to begin with, but he didn’t want to cause any unnecessary alarm. Just as he was about to knock on the door, it opened and Andrew walked out. “I’m glad you could make it. Please come in. I let everyone know you were coming.” Andrew led him inside, and Jameson’s eyes went right to the two pups who were standing front and center in front of everyone else. He was taken aback slightly as they glared at him. “Andre
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 32 - Reunited
Sabnac could feel the two sisters' fear and it fueled him like gasoline. He walked toward them, but they were too scared to move. Sabnac looked at Psyche. "I need you to stay out here. I don't want you to die too." She looked at him in surprise. "I'll be honest, I'm surprised you care." She replied as they stopped walking. Sabnac winked at her. "I typically wouldn't, but you've always been kind to me and treated me like a person. No one in any realm has done that. You're a good person Psyche, and you deserve to be happy. Those two witches don't deserve the same. Please stay here." Psyche nodded and stayed where she was while Sabnac continued toward her sisters. When he was only a few yards away, they ran into the house and slammed the door shut. Psyche smiled as she watched him kick in the door. She never judged people based on rumors, she liked to form her own opinions of them. Those from the underworld deserved the same respect as everyone else. Sabnac was a ruthless demon,
The Shadow Howlers Chapter 31 - Sabnac
Psyche watched her sisters in the courtyard outside her window. Everything was coming to a head, and it was time to act. They had taken too much from people all their lives. She wished she had seen them for what they were a long time ago. If she had, she would have killed them. Jameson was with her. He knew Psyche was ready to stop them before they got to Selena and the others, but he was nervous. Aglaura and Cidippe had people working for them. Even if they killed the sisters, the ones they hired may not stop attacking. "Can you mindlink Andrew?" Psyche asked him as they continued watching the two women below. "Yes, what do you want to tell him?" Jameson asked. Psyche looked at him and smiled sadly. "Tell him my sisters won't be a problem much longer. I'm going to take care of them myself. It may cost me my life, but if it saves Selena, then it's worth the sacrifice." She said, turning back to the window. "What's your plan?" He asked. "They want to poison everyone, s
