I tried to struggle against him, but Chase was too strong." Stop trying to get out! Look at me!" he shouted and that made me freeze, there was that danger energy coming from him again, a real, palpable danger.I froze and stared at him, feeling my face flood with tears, his expression before was one of anger, but when I looked at him, it softened. His grip on my wrists lessened enough that it seemed as if he was just touching me there, then he lowered his hand and waved it in front of my face.It was wrapped in a white linen bandage, he untied the cloth revealing a cut on his palm. A cut deep enough to... It can't be..." The blood on the sheet is from my hand." he confirmed my suspicions.John Chase got up off me and sat down on the couch, his gaze still on me as he rewrapped the bandage." Nothing happened yesterday, but that doesn't mean they would think so. Most likely your maids would think you weren't pure when you married, I did it so as not to have rumors about your honor."
I woke up with John Chase shaking me gently. When I opened my eyes I realized that he was tense, and looked around for any sign that it was morning, but in that windowless room it was hard to tell." I asked him, but he was already standing, looking at the door."He brought a finger to his lips, giving me a clear signal of silence, then walked slowly to the door, squinted his eyes, and then someone kicked the door in.John Chase was thrown away, he crashed into the wall of the room. When I looked at the figure in the doorway, responsible for this, I screamed. My whole being screamed, and I couldn't believe my own eyes.A giant creature was standing in the doorway, and it was just as the legends described, huge red eyes, with giant fangs capable of tearing through anything, and claws sharper than swords. He was tall and muscular, although his body was covered with hair and he had a completely animal-like appearance, he stood upright exactly like a human being, and when he looked at me,
The horses were all in the stable. I ran to the nearest one and pulled him up and mounted him, as he climbed on, I squeezed my legs and made him run as fast as I could.It was still early in the morning and I chose a road that would take me to Riviera. The lands of Duke Charles Edwards, was closer than the capital and the Palace, and he had men, warriors, surely after I told my story, they would protect the princess.As I rode into the first lights of sunrise I thought about everything that had happened. How was I going to tell that I had been attacked by a werewolf and that I had possibly married a supernatural creature? Duke Charles was not the least bit superstitious, he would probably think I was running away from my husband out of futility. Men were all the same!But I could prove what I was saying.I remembered the inn full of shattered soldiers, all I had to do was say that I had been attacked and ask them to send men to look for survivors, then they would have proof that somet
Daniel put me on his own horse and led me toward the manor house, the ride was quick and I didn't say much, I was still in shock over the man he had killed right in front of me, I tried to conjure up memories of the summers I spent here on the Riviera, of Daniel skinny and several inches shorter than me, that Daniel would vomit at the thought of killing a man for an insult, I wished he would have just punched the man, but to take his life? And the quiet way he had done it...it was chilling. When we arrived at the Edwards' estate Daniel got off his horse and soon after pulled me by the waist holding me down, I looked at the huge building painted with dark green and white details, the Duke's house was always very impressive, as soon as we climbed the steps of the balcony the servants came to meet us, when they saw me they widened their eyes unable to hide their surprise. " Show your respect, you are standing before Her Royal Highness, Princess Helena of Lancaster House." The servant
I sat at the table looking at the dinner, but I didn't feel hungry. I got up and then lay down again, rolled from side to side until I finally fell asleep.I had been isolated in my room for three days, I had asked one of the servants for wine while she brought the meals, and my request had been granted. Her name was Liz, the redhead from the first time.I spent these days getting drunk so that I could close my eyes without seeing those shattered bodies, without seeing that terrible werewolf, and even that guard that Daniel had killed in front of me. On the fourth day I woke up and decided not to drink, took a shower and got dressed, then went to talk to Daniel about an escort back to the palace. He was in the stables tending to his horse, but he also intended to speak the truth.When he saw me entering the stables, he immediately turned to me." Daniel, we need to talk." I said, stepping closer.I was going to tell the truth, even if it didn't make any sense. I couldn't be responsibl
When my gaze landed on the commander sitting relaxed on the window sill, my heart flooded with relief, because that dangerous energy emanating from Daniel, warning me to run away from him, was now dissipating considerably. In its place, however, I felt a hostility from both men, although the commander displayed a relaxed smile, the hostility I felt from him was almost suffocating, it was like a shadow stretching across the room, whose only target was Daniel." Commander! " I exclaimed, standing up unable to hide the relief in my voice.Chase didn't answer me, just gave me a quick glance and turned back to face the Duke." How the hell are you here? We're on the second floor!" The Duke stood up too, his posture was tense, his eyes red, and now it was obvious that he had been drinking heavily.Chase settled himself on the ledge and crossed his arms, took a deep breath and replied:" I'm not sure it's appropriate for the Duke to be in a married woman's bedroom in the middle of the night."
I took a deep breath and moved closer to Chase, he had finally stopped laughing, and a silence settled between us, and when I sat down beside him on the bed I suddenly remembered when he'd warmed me at the inn, how kind it had been, and when I looked into his eyes I regretted that those eyes belonged to Cristhofer's murderer, because they were eyes so deeply beautiful, like a night sea, full of secrets. " I know you are scared and shocked." he started, but I interrupted him with a finger on his lips, when I did this I realized how intimate it was, and quickly took the finger away, when he had done it to mine it seemed too natural, but I had never been silenced like that, much less silenced someone like that. " Why did that werewolf attack us?" I asked. " Either you are born an Alpha, or you become one, the second option is to kill an Alpha, so wherever I go I am a target." I looked into his dark eyes and wondered which of the two options had made him an alpha, birth or killing, bu
When we arrived at the stables Chase quickly caught up with a horse that seemed to be very fast, he easily threw me on top of the animal and then climbed on top, he pressed me against him and made the animal start to run, we dashed out of the stable into the cold of the night, even after we got away from the estate you could see the brightness of the torches in the sky, the number of them scared me, and their annoyed shouts could be heard even at a distance, then the sound of swords cut the air, I shuddered when I looked back and saw that a battle between the duke's men and the heathens had begun. " We must go back! There are too many of them, Daniel will die!" " I'm not that lucky, princess." I turned on the horse and elbowed him, or at least tried to, but he held my arm and the horse suddenly stopped, he neighed and reared up madly on his hind legs, with that movement we both fell off the horse, I would have been badly hurt had it not been for the commander holding me up and absor
***RATE THE BOOK******Helena thought she heard it wrong.Lance Chase had said yes.He held the letter in his hand, while holding her hand, Helena felt chills from touching his skin, but assumed that if he showed all his disgust for that man, maybe he would change his mind.Lance took a deep breath, feeling the scent of Helena, the natural smell of her skin, she looked at him more in that seconds than she had done all those days, he lowered his gaze to her hands, which held his closing around the letter, as if he was afraid he’d just let go.His heart was racing too, Lance could not help but feel impacted by the intensity of those gray eyes that stared at him with such a plea, Lance realized how much she loved his nephew, and at that moment hated him with all the intensity of his heart, there was devotion in her eyes, devotion to him, and only to him.He cleared his throat and uncoupled his hands from hers.- I deliver on one condition.Helena withdrew to imagine what would be the ter
The full moon was near, some days had passed since what happened to Helena, since then she remained in a kind of shock lying on the canopy bed, she wanted to get up, release any power she had against the odious, repulsive Lance Chase.For everything he had done.But if she felt useless, incapable, it was as if he had undermined all her forces, and it left her terrified, Helena spent days in bed remodeling in her mind every moment of that violence... wondering how she could let herself be dominated so easily, how you let it happen. And worse, would Lance tell anyone?Then she remembered how sensitive wolves were to smells, any member of the Pack who came near her would know. Immediately she would know.That couldn’t happen. Never.Two knocks on the door removed her from her thoughts, Helena remained silent, if it was Lance Chase he would open no matter what he said, since what happened he came to her rooms every two days, the knock on the door was only to alert her of his infamous pres
Henry woke up suddenly, as if he were still at the battle of the castle, he sat down quickly looking for his sword.- You woke up! Henry looked in the direction of the voice.The unknown woman who shot with the bow, was bent before the river drinking water.So Henry looked around, they were in a forest near the river, he was leaning on a tree that gave him a nice shade, the horse was not in sight.- Who are you? - It was the question he asked while lowering his sword.His head throbbed too much, and he felt miserable.The woman stood up revealing to be short in stature, her hair was loose and a little messy, her face was wet, and her arms too, that’s when Henry noticed that she not only drank water, but was also trying to refresh herself.The sun was very strong.- Who are you from the ultimate Alpha Pack? - She asked as she walked to him.Her golden eyes showed no hostility, she looked curious, and Henry noticed that she must have been very young, she looked very young.- I’m Henry
Leon woke up in the middle of the night feeling a painful sensation in his heart, as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart.He sat in the bed of the inn when cold, looked at his hands trembling and could not understand the reason for it.He did not remember having any nightmare, but the overwhelming sensation in his chest persisted without rest.He looked around at the dimly lit room, weeks had passed since his arrival at the inn, still hoping to track down the man who had information about Thomas.He had traveled and would return within a few days.His father was unreachable, living in a fortress, tried to infiltrate in various ways. But without any success, the man lived enclosed in his fortress.His son had a life of debauchery, and he had the information they needed, and if he did not know of his father’s shady dealings, they would find a way into the fortress.Thomas could be there, trapped.I only had one certainty. Thomas was alive.Leon got up from his bed and got dress
When Helena felt that Lance loosened the grip on her wrists she could not contain the relief she felt because she would soon get rid of the grotesque pressure of her excitement behind her.But it seemed to trigger some kind of trigger on him, he turned it hard and his dark green eyes were furious.I did not know exactly what he saw in his eyes, but obviously this did not please him, on the contrary.Helena felt that before Lance had regained some of his reason, that he was almost safe, but something changed drastically in a matter of seconds, the violent energy that emanated from him almost suffocated her, when he looked into his eyes he was completely disgusted by what he saw he was about to do.He would possess it. He tore her underwear, lifted the hem of her dress leaving her completely exposed, and pulled her stiff member out of her pants, he pressed on her entrance, and it made her want to die.Helena could not breathe properly, could not even react, her brain was working perfec
When Helena said those words, she felt as if something inside her was permanently broken.It was a great betrayal, what I was proposing, but he valued the situation very much. And he feared that if he did not act, Lance would execute John, and could not bear this idea, he thought of helping John to get settled back on the throne, but the world was cruel to women, even if she could ask for her brother’s support in Shivia until he responded to her husband’s aid, how could she remain married to him? You needed to get away from John. And for that he needed to escape the island, which seemed unlikely to succeed, even if he now felt that he could dominate the minds of men for a few moments, implanting his desires in them, this power within her was completely unpredictable.I didn’t know how to control it.And even if she escaped, if she ran away what would happen to John? He would regain his reason, and fight, even if it cost him his life, even at a disadvantage. But if I could get him kick
******RATE THE BOOK*********Helena felt the energy that had seized her body so voraciously before dissipating when she saw the commander ready to kill her.Deep down, she understood that even if she loved him deeply and that all she wanted was to be close to him, it couldn’t happen anymore.He was lucid until he was in her presence, his presence was the trigger to awaken the curse of madness in him.And she knew that distance was best for him, even if it cost her heart, even if it meant that she would die inside, because she perfectly understood that his suffering was her fault, and her kind. After all, it was your kind that committed atrocities.It was her kind that condemned an entire lineage to have the blood of their wives on their hands, at that moment while crying in bed she repudiated everything that was. She thought of that power that lived inside her, that had saved her life so many times, and thought that at any cost she would save John’s life, sat down on the bed and thou
*****COMMENT AND RATE********Lance Chase was a complete idiot.This was what was going on in his head at the exact moment he realized what he had done and risked bringing his Banshee to the commander’s cell.He risked his life, although his nephew was with powerful herbs in his body and bound by silver chains that did not stop him, watched astonished he let loose in the ferocious animal he was, Lance immediately blocked Alpha’s vision of Helena with his own body, concealing it from him, but it only seemed to increase the rampant fury in the crazed white eyes that stared at them.Everything seemed to get too slow, was completely aware of the Alpha rising over them, his fangs stretching and his face taking on an animalistic shape, his arms turning with a bone breaking sound, a high pitched sound, and soon her legs did the same as her arms, her whole body taking on a new form. As an Alpha was becoming independent of full moon, just call for his inner animal, which was part of it, behind
***COMMENT AND RATE********When Lance Chase reached out to Helena, saying the words her heart longed for, she had to contain the urge to cry hysterically, the Banshee carefully analyzed her expression. Her dark green gaze was concentrated, her mouth a straight line, her expression was impassive, she could not understand the reason for her sudden change. Then suddenly something terrible occurred to him, maybe he was just being cruel, making her raise foolish hopes that she would see John’s face once again, the princess deep in her eyes and saw him get confused with her silence. " Don’t you want to see him more woman? " asked the impatient man. She shuddered completely confused, was he really serious? Would he take her to see his beloved John? " Are you serious? " His voice was a stifled whisper, because his heart was twitching inside his chest, fearing that he would reveal that it was just a cruel joke. " I am. " Murmured her and took her hand letting him lead her out of the ro
