The Wolf and the Succubus Something Isn’t Right
Nathaniel was still sitting across from me in my office sipping another whiskey and I was halfway through my third mojito when Edward called.“Ed, what can I do for you at this late hour?”“My apologies, Ophelia, I’m sure you’re busy, but I have some concerns about something going on in my territory.”I held my finger up to my lips, telling Nathaniel not to say anything. I needed to hear where this was going to go.“Carry on,” I replied.“There seems to be a couple rogue wolves that have been hanging around, we’re concerned that they may pose a threat.”“What kind of threat?”“They’ve been loitering predominantly around my house and Nathaniel’s house, I’m concerned someone is planning a takeover.”“Ed, you know I can’t get involved with any challenge attempts. Has anyone threatened you, your son or anyone else?”The door opened. Luke was back, finally. I gave him a small smile, before turning my attention back to Ed.“No, but rogues are always a concern.”“They should be, yes. Have th
The Wolf and the Succubus Smells Like Trouble
We parked a mile away from the location of the sighting. We’d go the rest of the way on foot, the cars are too obvious. On foot, we could all slip through the trees, and hopefully not draw too much attention to ourselves.Hopefully being the operant word.“Alpha, in position,” I called over the radio.“Beta, ready to go,” came Luke’s voice over the radio.Once teams Charlie and Delta called in, we all got going.“Call in any trouble, people. We need to keep this tidy and above board. Beta, please be subtle, there are probably civilians on the beach, even at this time of night.”“Always, alpha one.” I stifled a chuckle. Luke wouldn’t recognise subtlety if it bit him on the backside.My team fell into step behind me, fanned out, ready to go at a moment’s notice.We moved through the woods, over tree roots, around bushes and under branches. The woods were cold, misty, and visibility wasn’t very good. Not the best conditions for this kind of trip.The full moon added a whole new layer of
The Wolf and the Succubus Make It a Double
The rest of the team finally caught up and I’d changed back into my own clothes. Fingers crossed I wouldn't need to shift quickly, I liked these leggings. I also would rather not rip another holster, but that’s just inconvenient. Maybe I should just start stocking spares.Fortunately, I had my radio and earpiece back now. I should really commission something custom so I had access to it even in wolf form… but that’s a problem for another day.Rather than filling Nathaniel’s house with all 28 of us, I sent Beta, Charlie and Delta (excluding Luke) off to carry on searching the woods for any hint as to what was going on. The rest of Alpha was close by, hiding in the trees. Fives, Luke and I sat down in Nathaniel’s living room.“So,” I said, voice firm. “We know there are at least thirty, if not more, and there’s something or someone very old and powerful with them. Would you agree, Fives?”He nodded. “The air is thick with it.”“What else do we know?”“Ma’am, one of the scents we found e
The Wolf and the Succubus Well, That Escalated Quickly
“FUCK!” I kicked the wall on the way into HQ. Possibly broke a couple toes, but that’s an inconsequential detail, it’d heal within a matter of minutes.“Ma’am, are you okay?” Luke asked, hanging behind me, ever the diligent shadow.“I swore to take care of those people, Luke. A long time ago, before many of them were actually born. I protected their parents and some of their grandparents, and I’m going to continue to do so. Right now, I’m just not sure how.”I sighed. “Let’s just debrief, try to work out what we’re dealing with, and go home for the night.”The leaders had already debriefed their individual teams and sent them home for the night. Just Luke, Julienne, and Grayson remained. “Right,” I said, leaning on the table in the middle of the room, my head tilted down. “What do we know?”“We know Edward was with the rogues and likely Maximillian at the beach, and that there are a minimum of 30 wolves, plus Maximillian.”I nodded to Luke. “Julienne, did Charlie find anything?”“The
The Wolf and the Succubus You Marked Me?!
“What the fuck?”Luke looked sheepish.“You marked me? I’m not your mate! What the fuck were you thinking?”“Effie, I… let me explain.”“This had better be good, Luke.”“I panicked, Effie. I don’t want to lose you.”My head was in my hands. How the fuck did this go so wrong.“You wouldn’t have lost me. But now, you’ve bound me to you without even mentioning it first, so now you’re going to lose me.”“Effie, I…”“Get out of my house, Lucas.”“Effie, please…”“Lucas. Leave.” The power behind those two little words gave him no choice.Once the door shut behind him, I sat on the floor in the hallway and cried. I couldn’t believe he’d marked me. My wolf couldn’t believe he’d done it. She was absolutely furious.Really, my kicking Luke out was probably the least-worst outcome.If my wolf had been left to deal with it, his mark wouldn’t have mattered anymore. He might not be my mate, but he is my oldest friend and confidant. I don’t want to hurt him, of course I don’t.But with this new span
The Wolf and the Succubus Promises, Promises
I promised Caroline I’d stop in and see her on the way to work, which usually wouldn’t have been until about 5pm. By the time 4pm rolled around, I just wanted to get this done. I don’t know what I was going to do, but I needed to try to do something.I sat in the car for a while just staring at the steering wheel, my fingertips tracing the matt black Maserati badge. I had absolutely no idea what I was going to say to her.My wolf was surprisingly quiet too. She was usually so opinionated, but now, she had no idea either. We both felt bad that Caroline had ended up in this position, but that doesn’t help either of us at all.I couldn’t keep doing this. We needed to talk to Caroline.She was waiting for us, apparently she’d seen that we were sitting outside trying to work out what to do. “Come in, Effie. Make yourself comfortable. Did you want a coffee?”“Please, Caroline. That’d be lovely, I’ve not exactly had much sleep.”She gave a small smile. “You do look rather tired, Effie. Get
The Wolf and the Succubus A Bad Day Gets Worse
Nathaniel answered almost immediately. “I was waiting for your call, Ophelia.” What?“Why?”“I knew you’d need me. Are you at the club?”“Yes.”“I’ll be there in a couple minutes.”He hung up before I even had a chance to respond. Whatever was going on, everyone else seemed to know more than I did.Before I even had a chance to breathe, there was a knock on my door. “Come in!”“Ma’am, Nathaniel is here, claiming he has a meeting with you?”“He does, Lucas. Send him up.”“Ma’am, I… I wanted to…”“I don’t want to hear it right now, Lucas. Please send Nathaniel up.”He nodded, his expression defeated, turning to head out the door.By the time Nathaniel appeared in front of me, my head was in my hands.“Alpha, good to see you again,” he said, voice strong.“I’m not your alpha, Nathaniel.”“Oh but you are, Ophelia.”“I can’t be? Your father is alpha?”“It’s not that simple anymore. When you protected us all from Maximillian, you weakened my father’s connection to the pack. Who did you inte
The Wolf and the Succubus Mate?
“Excuse me?”He nodded. “Someone murdered our luna, my mother.”“Fuck. I’m sorry, Nathaniel.”“Me too. I’m trying to work out who I would stand to gain from this, and I’m not liking the answer so far.”Oh no. I could see where this was going.“I have reason to believe it was my father.”Well that was justification for me to take over right there. No one can murder the luna and expect to get away with it in times of peace. Even in the case of a challenge against the alpha, their mate, whether male or female, can not be touched until the challenge had been settled.“I wouldn’t have hurt her, Nathaniel, I hope you know that. I would have had to take her title, but I would never have hurt her.”“I know,” he replied, his voice low.“What evidence have you got that this could have been your father?”“Maximillian has been talking about knowing someone who could help consolidate my father’s power. He mentioned a few times that in a lot of cases where the alpha is struggling to maintain power,
