Gunnar didn't want to get out of bed the following morning, but they had a busy day ahead. He and Bianca were so tired they passed out immediately after having sex. He kept thinking about the night before.

He looked down at Bianca's angelic face resting on his chest. Lying with her against him was the best feeling in the world. He rubbed his hand up and down her back, causing her to moan.

"What time is it?" Bianca asked sleepily.

"It's almost time to leave. I didn't want to wake you any earlier than I had to. How are you feeling?" he asked, kissing the top of her head.

"I feel incredible. I wish we had more time, but we need to get to Last Moon. I've never met the King. What's he like?" Bianca asked, hiding her chuckle when she heard a slight growl inside Gunnar.

"He's decent and fair. Please stay with me when we're around him. He hasn't found his mate yet, and I don't think he's trying very hard to look for her. He doesn't have the same morals we do, and the rumors a

    Bianca looked back at Gunnar and saw a lycan holding him back so he couldn't follow her. She had spoken bravely to the king but couldn't help the ripple of fear that went down her spine as he pulled her toward the dungeons. When they were far enough away from everyone else, he stopped and looked at her."So, do you want to tell me why you spoke to me like that? Was it because you were in front of your mate? I saw the way you stared at me when I first got here. I know you're attracted to me. We're all alone now. You can tell me the truth." Zaiden stepped close to her so his body was flush with hers and looked down into her eyes. Bianca refused to back down."You're an attractive man, I'm not going to lie, but no one compares to Gunnar. I've heard about you and your lack of morals when it comes to women. Do you really think that's what a woman wants? To be used as a man's plaything and sent away. It's disgusting." She looked up at him, speaking with a calm voice. The smirk on his face

    The following day, Bianca and Gunnar sat down to talk with Austin, Jessica, Marisa, and Cyril to make preparations for the mating ceremony. They would mark each other in front of the pack and then introduce Bianca as the official luna. "Is there anything special you want?" Marisa asked Bianca excitedly. "I'd be happy just to mark each other and be done with it. I don't need a fancy party or anything else." She looked over at Gunnar and took his hand. Having him by her side was all that was important. "Well, that's not going to happen. This is a big deal. Let Jessica and I take care of it. After the day you had yesterday, you need a break. Why don't you take the girls down to the river and have a picnic? We'll have the ceremony the day after tomorrow. All you two have to do is show up." Marisa practically pushed them out of the room. Bianca and Gunnar looked at each other and laughed. "I think we should take your mom's advice. Let's take the girls to the river." Bianca sai

    Bianca shivered when they pulled up to the ashes that used to be the Last Moon pack house. It felt creepy to her now. It was still daylight, but there seemed to be a shadow over the former pack lands."Alright, everyone spread out. Don't leave any stone unturned." Gunnar said. Everyone went off in pairs to begin their search. Gunnar and Bianca headed toward the dungeons. When they got there, it was nothing but ash and metal. "Let's go beyond the dungeons. If they had a hidden place, it wouldn't be easily found." Gunnar took her hand, leading her past the ruble. "I've never been back here. My dad was strict on what parts of the pack lands women and children were allowed to go on. The dungeons and anywhere around them were off-limits. I just assumed it was because it was too dangerous. I never thought they were trying to hide anything." Bianca looked around, trying to find something that would show them the secret place that Trisha had talked about."I don't think we'll

    All those rescued from Last Moon were taken to their chosen pack or location, and five, including Alani, decided to join the Shadow Howlers. Now that everything was settled, it was time for Gunnar and Bianca's ceremony. Neither of them was interested in the minor details; they were just ready to mark each other. Jessica and Marisa had picked out Bianca's dress. It was dark blue, off the shoulder, and clung to her curves. It shimmered in the light whenever she moved. Bianca looked at herself in the mirror and had to admit that she'd never felt more beautiful. They had done her hair in a twist, with a few loose curls framing her face. She turned around when she heard someone running. Polly and Trisha came flying into the room. Their white dresses were covered in sparkles with big blue bows tied at the back. "What are you two doing?" Bianca asked. "Gram wants to put our hair in braids, but we don't want her to," Polly said just as Marisa entered the room. "There you are, you lit

  • The Shadow Howlers   Chapter 12 - Selena's Secret

    Selena looked out of the palace window nervously. When Zaiden took her from the Shadow Howlers pack, she had been ecstatic that he wanted her as his mate. However, now she was worried the kingdom's people wouldn't think she was good enough. He was the Lycan King, and she was an omega. She was also deaf and mute. No one knew what had caused it, but she had been that way since birth. She had another secret, too, that no one knew. She didn't have a wolf. Selena was from the Red River pack. Her family had treated her okay, but they mostly kept her locked away in the house. She knew they were ashamed of her because she had no wolf and couldn't speak or hear. After being rescued from Last Moon, they tried to hide her back in the house again. Selena didn't want that. Bianca had been the only one to treat her like a normal person, so when she visited the Shadow Howlers, she was going to ask if she could stay there. However, things changed quickly when she realized Zaiden was her mate. Even

    Zaiden knelt next to Selena when she dropped her knees and cried silently. When she felt him next to her, she threw her arms around him and cried on his shoulder. The people in the dining hall looked on with concern, not understanding what was happening. When Selena calmed down, she pulled out her notebook. The man who kidnapped me from my pack and took me to Last Moon is here. When Zaiden read what she wrote, he mindlinked the guards. "Lock the palace down. There's someone here who shouldn't be, and he's responsible for hurting Selena." The guards moved quickly, locking all the dining hall doors and standing in front of them to prevent anyone from leaving. Zaiden helped Selena up, and she clung to him as everyone else wondered what was going on. "Hello everyone, thank you for coming. As you can see, I met my mate. Her name is Selena, and she will be your queen. It seems we have an unwelcome guest. Please stay where you are while we sort this out." There were gasps and whisp

    Selena looked at Andrew in shock. How could she be the daughter of a god and goddess? She also didn't understand why that had anything to do with her being unable to hear or speak. Why can't I speak? She wrote in her notebook. "The sister that sent you here had a curse placed on you, so you can only hear and speak if you are mated to a shifter. When Eros found out what she had done, he asked Selene, the Moon Goddess, for help. She made it possible that you were reborn to a werewolf family. You weren't their biological daughter, so you didn't have a wolf. Selene said she would have you mate with one of her wolves. Once Zaiden marks you, you will get a wolf and be able to hear and speak. I must warn you. Once the curse is broken, the sisters will know what happened and will not rest until they get revenge." Andrew saw both Selena and Zaiden becoming more and more confused. "Why would they want revenge on Selena? She hasn't done anything to anyone," Zaiden asked, making sure she cou

    Gunnar hung up the phone and looked at Bianca. They'd only been together for a few weeks, but in that short time, there had been a lot going on. Now, it looked like it was going to continue. "That was King Zaiden. He asked if we could send some of our best warriors to help his own. Are you okay with going to the palace? I'll leave Austin and Jessica in charge while we're gone. He didn't ask us to come, but I could hear how desperate he was. He said something about Selena being threatened." He walked over to where she sat on the couch, and Bianca smiled at him. "Of course, we can go. I'd like to check in on Selena myself. What about the girls?" She asked. They both knew Polly and Trisha wouldn't be happy if they left them behind. "We'll leave it up to them. I'm almost sure they'll want to go, but who knows with those two?" Since Bianca and Trisha came to the Shadow Howlers pack, Polly and Trisha had become thick as thieves. They went to the girl's room and listened outside the door

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    “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.

    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

    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

    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,

    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
