Wolf Queen Prologue
For thousands of years mankind ruled the earth.Built their cities and empires.Nurtured their greed and desires.Blinded themselves to the world around them.Their arrogance to the world they were destroying led to their demise.Rumours led some to believe a virus had spread, others spoke of how the very air they breathed was rejected by their lungs.Their extinction was lengthy and devastating.All that was left of them now were the remnants of their tall steel structures and old ghostly streets being retaken by the earth.With the destruction of mankind, it left a hole in the food chain.Now the wolves roamed freely.
Wolf Queen Chapter 1
The earth beneath her feet was damp with the remnants of the night’s rainfall. Moss and dirt sticking to the underneath of her feet as she walked the dense forest that surrounded her. Fog clung to the ground and tickled her bare legs as she walked.She had no destination in mind and instead took solace in the peace that the forest brought to her. She often wondered on her own, she preferred to be a lone wolf.She let her fingertips brush over the leaves of bushes and the bark of the surrounding trees as she continued walking. It wasn’t long before the forest began to melt away and she found herself on her usual cliffside, overlooking the vast lake within their territory. The rock beneath her feet felt rough against her bare soles as she crouched down. Her knuckles resting against the natural surface as she used her other hand to trail along each crevice and curve of the stone. She looked out at the lake as she did this, breathing in the view. Her mind at peace.Her ears pe

The morning air felt heavy against her lungs, frost hung from each leaf and stem of grass as the first signs of winter began to show. She was once again at her lookout spot, high in the hills with the perfect view of each part of the territory. She could see everything.One of the advantages of being a daughter of an Alpha brought particular gifts to her genome. She could read thermal signatures with her eyes by summoning her beast forward. Through rust coloured eyes she could see her pack mates in and around the pack clearing, the wolves on patrol, she could even see lesser animals, prey, as they wandered through the woods.It was a valuable gift that proved useful in many different situations, the protection of the pack being one of them. Hunting the other. It was mid-morning and the pack had only just begun to rise for the day. The air was cool, and the sun was low, casting golden patterns onto the horizon and the accompanying mountains.Their territory was rocky
Wolf Queen Chapter 3
Her heart beat a fast rhythm against her chest, sadness resonating in her bones as she waited for her father. He stood not far from her conversing with Beta Hokan about their departure. Her beast was anxious at the troubles they faced.Their trip south would take them a few hours with their enhanced agility, no need to hold back for slower wolves. She would match her father’s pace with ease. The messengers had left a trail for them to follow but they didn’t need it. They both remembered the way far too well.The memories that had plagued her since the messenger’s announcement the day before had troubled her, blood and death, so much death. It was a sickness upon her mind, her beast howled within her in pain.She hoped whatever they faced would not be a replay of the past.She toed at the moss beneath her feet and let her hands brush down the soft material of the long cloak she wore with a sigh. Her breath came out in a puff of white, the cold air bit against her skin but it

“I do not like my peace to be disturbed or for messengers to walk freely through my borders.” Her father’s voice spoke loud and true as the table around them was silent. It had not been long since her father had taken his seat and she took up her place behind him. Her arms held behind her back, covered by her cloak, made her stance threatening to all. Her father’s eyes glowed a bright amber as he spoke. His frustration evident in his voice. No Alpha liked their lines crossed. Her father had taken solace in the peace the forest brought to his mind. They had been so worked up on destruction and grief that the pack had almost turned into a ticking time bomb. They had nearly torn each other apart.“I’m sorry to have disturbed you, Jonah. But you cannot live in isolation any longer,” Alpha Michael spoke, irritation deep in his tone.The scar on his lip quirked up in a twisted manner as he spoke, her beast shivering in pleasure at it. She could still feel the feeling of
Wolf Queen Chapter 5
Michael’s face paled at her father’s words and looked towards her with fright in his eyes. Their last bought had not ended in his favour, his scared face was a testament to that. He shifted on his feet as his beast lurked below the surface. She could see the gears in his head turning as he searched for an exit to the situation.She watched as the veins in his arms bulged and his muscles clenched in his attempts to hold it off. He had lost his composure completely. She wondered if any of the Alpha’s were still worthy of their titles. If Michael was the strongest of them, he was a sorry excuse.She began to circle him, walking slowly around him, stalking. He turned his head to follow her movements, watching her carefully. She sensed every emotion that poured off of him. Fear, Anger, Nervousness. He was a wild animal trapped in a cage.She was his jailer.He knew all too well the destruction she could bring. She’d promised him that she would be his reaper. Her claws unfurled a

“The male.”Adelaide continued to move swiftly through the forest at a fast walk as her father strolled behind her. She let her eyes wander over various trees and plants as she looked for the signs that pointed them into the right direction. Her breathing deep as her mind thought internally to lock away the beast that had almost slipped.“What about him?” She asked.She picked some bark from a nearby tree, rubbing the coarse material between her fingers. She took a deep lungful of breath as she brought it to her nose, taking in the scent she was searching for.“You spared him.”Her father had stopped to lean against a tree as he regarded her, chewing on a stem of grass that rested between his lips. She stopped in her search, letting the bark drop to the forest floor with a soft crunch, before turning to her father with a sigh.All would find it questionable that she had spared the young were. She was known for her ruthlessness. Feral wolves were overruled by insti
Wolf Queen Chapter 7
The day was bright, but her mood was not. The packs had gathered safely behind the wall of the Goddess, the Alpha’s had gathered. All territories had been evacuated; it was as if they had already been scrubbed from the Earth.Her face was tipped to the sky, her eyes closed as she reviled in the brief break of sun through the clouds. She stood not far from the entrance to the Gealach Gleann, close enough to feel the hum of power that it resonated.Her mind and body feeling the pull to emerge herself in it once again. Like an addict regaining their fix, it felt sickly sweet. Her mind was calm, the beast under control for the first time since the pack wars, it sensed its creator’s presence. The only power they ever bowed too.Her breathing was heavy as her mind was plagued with memories, the horrors of her past. Fields of blood, piles of bodies. The heartache, the agony that crippled her very being every single day.She would find no solace in this place or in the even

He watched from the shadows of the beach.He watched and waited. The spray of the sea chilled his warm skin and his blood ran cold as he watched the scene play out before him and there was nothing that he could do to stop it.He had been standing there but a second when he watched her fall. Fall from the edge of the Blood Rock and into the depths of the sea.She fell silently, only the crashing of the waves filling space as it welcomed her to the deep. He moved without a conscious thought, his legs moving quickly as his chest felt a tightness like nothing before. He ran through the swell of the sea before he got no further on foot and dived in with urgency.He pulled in a deep breath to his lungs and swam deep, where the raging sea turned slow and peaceful.That was where he found her.Floating. Sinking.He gripped her tight and kicked to the surface, battling the waves to drag her back to land.Her body lay against the sand, cold and blue, for the first time in her

They hadn’t spoken in the hours that had followed. They had moved quickly and travelled a long distance.Their power allowed them to keep up with one another and move faster than if they were burdened by other wolves. The snow had receded the further they moved away from the north.They had moved through old human cities that had long since decayed. Natural plant life had retaken what was ripped from them and entire buildings were covered with plants that now flourished. The world was thriving without the humans that had once destroyed it.Adam hesitated as they passed through the physical evidence of a devastating past. He had never experienced the cities while they were full of life, he would have only experienced what the wolves had claimed for themselves.They didn’t linger for long as she pushed for them to move onward. Her connection to Grace had grown stronger the further they moved from the north and it had soon become clear to Adelaide where they would be going.
Wolf Queen Chapter 23
The cold bit into her skin as she stood at the lakes edge. Earth and snow squashed between her toes.A deathly silence had overtaken the space. The only sound being that of water lapping gently at the edge of the ground. The moon had risen high into the sky and a cold wind whipped through the air, moving her hair back from her face and away from her neck, leaving her bare.The atmosphere was strange. A mixture of hurt and despair along with suspense. No one knew what the world would now bring, where the Goddess would guide them. The last of the High Alpha’s had been killed. Murdered no less and now the wolves were left without clear leadership.Adelaide knew they would look to her for leadership. The thought passed through her mind easily as she stood in the lake, the water lapping against her bare skin. But she was no leader, only an executioner.Everything she had done in life had led to this point, whether it be by her own will or not, and she knew where it would l
Wolf Queen Chapter 22
Life and death.The two things that made up the very fabric of life. Natures law and the survival of the natural order were what kept the world balanced. When a rip occurred, the balance tipped viciously. And vicious it was. And the pain.Unbearable.A hole in the soul, imprinted forever. The breaking of a bond was enough to drive any wolf to the edge of their sanity and an Alpha was trained from birth to withstand the breaks they would feel from their pack members. But the breaking of a family bond, especially in a vicious manner, broke the body physically as well as mentally.The severe weight of the broken bonds upon her mind were now further burdened by the madness of the beast within her, the Lycan. The madness that circled her was a strange entity and allowed her mind to circle continuously.Adelaide stared up at the cave ceiling above her as she laid on her back. Her hands rested on her stomach and her legs laid flat against her bed mat on the floor. She breathe
Wolf Queen Chapter 21
The look on Leonidas’s face gave reason for her most haunting fears. The world around her slowed as her heart rate sped to unbelievable beat and her breath caught in her chest. Her head rang with the howl of a beast, untamed and ready to be let loose. She felt the beginnings of panic overcome her as she tried to feel for any sense of her father through her connection to himBefore she could fall into the depths of despair and allow the inner beast to overcome her, a hand clamp over each of her wrists. Leonidas stood before her, eyes aglow from the wolf within, and a gaze full of worry and anger. His firm grip brought her back to earth and for a moment she felt a sense of déjà vu; she’d been in the same situation, in the same place a long time ago.“What is happening?” She asked desperately.He took a breath, and it seemed like an age had passed before he decided to speak again.“Michael seeks to fulfil the challenge that was issued, much has changed since you have
Wolf Queen Chapter 20
Thump after thump filled her mind as her feet pounded against the dirt. The ground around her thundered with the footfalls of the pack around her. One hundred sets of paws racing against time.Racing to save those who were in danger.The urgency within her was near hysteria as she ran, her legs pushed to their limit. The pack struggled to keep up with her as her mind gave way to instinct and the beast took over. Adam ran beside her but kept some distance. Her beast took over the very air that was breathable with dominance and power. The very trees of the forest bent against her will as she breezed past them in a clear path. One goal in mind.A vicious roar erupted from her throat as she cleared the tree line of the pack house in a leap. The acrid smell of vampire filled her nose and a purple haze filled her vision. Her heightened senses showed her the purple blurs within the clearing; vampires had no heat signature.Savage growls filled the air as her pack of wolves w

Age was a powerful figure to a werewolf. Age brought power as well as knowledge. A powerful asset in the game of life. Adelaide’s age far surpassed that of Adam, she’d seen much while he had seen little, and with her age came history. His claws in her neck left her open with only a few small barriers to protect parts of herself that could not be allowed to be seen. He watched as her life played out before his eyes while she did the same to him.As a young boy, the youngest of three brothers, his childhood was very different from her upbringing. After the Pack Wars each pack had made it their mission to eradicate memories of the past discord within their kind and did their best to ignore it. Adam had been brought up in a time of peace, with no real idea of the dripping red cloud that hung over their history.Although he had been brought up through peaceful times of politics, it did not mean his home life was one also of peace. Michael had always been one to administer pu
Wolf Queen Chapter 18
Eating was not a simple task when it came to the way of the wolf. It was a vicious dance of tooth and claw to gain the prize of prime flesh between jaws. If a wolf wanted to eat, then they needed to find their place at the carcass. Human etiquette was abandoned in the wild and instead the need to take was the only instinct to follow. It had taken time for the pack to adjust and find their places. No wolf went hungry, they just needed to find the will to eat. Since the loss of the old way’s werewolf society had gotten lost in stereotypical hierarchies that had conditioned generation upon generation of wolves into submission. The basic instinct was there, all Adelaide did was trigger it once more.Adam had adapted well to the pack. No doubt her father’s teachings had taken great effect to the beast that resided within him. He had taken to his fur as was the way of the pack and had integrated with the help of the link he now shared with each of them.He had taken the pack

It was easy to become lost in the wild.The temptation of it was tantalising. Like a female in heat or a fresh kill between teeth. It was a drug like no other.Time moved quickly when travelling endlessly between the tall trees, but Adelaide knew full well of how much time had passed since her departure from the child who had captured her soul. Almost a year.Too long had she been separated from Grace, even longer from her father. It felt cruel on her behalf, to begin to heal and then to be separated again, to protect females that had done nothing for her. But she did as the Moon commanded, without question.Although hesitant at first, the females progressed rapidly from her teachings. The few males that had joined them soon learned that their place was no higher than that of the female next to them. Both male and female were equal. It was only those who were born and gifted for higher purpose that rose through the ranks.There were three new Alpha’s in her mist. Two fem
