{ Ryn }“Commander”“Yes?”“The newest platoon has arrived at the south base.”“Good, have them switch out with the 304th and send them back to main pack lands for rest and recouping. Please advise the medical crew of more wounded wolves coming in as well.”“Right away.”I crack my neck as another division leader leaves my tent. My joints are stiff and achy from being in wolf form and sleeping on the ground if I’m sleeping at all. Physically I could still carry a train, but it was beginning to wear on me bit by bit. Thankfully my brain was still sharp as a whip and I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with this war if I could get us through the messiest part we were in now.“Anything?”Quai steps into the tent, covered in dried blood and in just shorts like I am. We have been more wolf than man since the war started and uniforms aren’t exactly practical in a werewolf war.“Yeah, the new platoon just arrived.”“Good, news from the castle?”“Nothing today, no.”He nods and th

A soft beeping echoed through my ears when I finally woke up. I wasn’t sure how I knew, but I knew I’d been asleep for a long time. It was the most rested I had felt in weeks. I took in a deep breathe, and tears filled my eyes when his scent hit me. It washed over me, calming me yet also exciting me. My skin burns from not having contact with him for a few days now. Just before my eyes open, a feel sparks erupt on my hand and more tears come.“I know you are awake, Oly.” his voice is soft, but edgy. I know instantly, I’m not forgiven.I force my eyes open finally and he comes into view. His hair is a mess, but his shirt and pants are clean for the first time since the war started. He clearly hasn’t been at the front line today and that brings up a heap load of guilt. I had gotten information, good information, I knew what this war was about. But in the process I had gotten injured, I had done what I’d swore I wouldn’t do…. distract him.“I don’t suppose saying I’m sorry would mean muc

{ Ryn }I press my lips to her forehead and try to pry myself away from her but I can’t resist. It’s felt like ages since I’ve touched her and my entire body feels rejuvenated just from this simple contact so I lean down and press my lips to her, feels that release that she always gives me. My stress levels decrease, my brain clears. And I pull away before turning and running out the door.She is here. She is safe. She is here. And She is safe. I repeat this to myself and my wolf as I shift and head to the front line.They are safe.My wolf gently reminds me of the weight on my heart. I wasn’t trying to forget it, but it was so new that it still slips my mind. The doctors came in after they got her settled into the bed, attended to and ran her blood work and tests. They seemed to have assumed I didn’t know. They were right.I was leading a war right now, commanding thousands of soldiers and fighting along side them everyday. I had more blood on my hands than I’d care to reflect on. Bu

“That makes more sense.”I turn and see Quai resting on his elbows watching us and listening. I rush over to give him a hug and he returns it.“That explains everything.” Ryn says, reiterating what Quai said. “Especially about the witch’s origins, how this began, and why they are after your father and brother.”“They are basing all of this on the fact that they don’t believe you can be Queen though? I mean that seems like a lot to leave up to chance, I’d bet they are going to kill you too.” A growl erupts behind me while Quai is talking and I just roll my eyes.“Like hell..” Ryn mutters.“You know what I mean,”Quai defends as he lays back down.Ryn stands up and walks over to me. I have to lean back to be able to look into his eyes. He hovers over me, his eyes moving from my eyes to my mouth to my chest to my nose to my lips again. His gaze alone is enough to make my skin burn and my chest pound.“So, mate, what is our next move?”“We set a trap.” I say quietly and he smirks, knowing

We all look to my dad in confusion and he repeats himself, this time I don’t miss the tone that slips into his words. It was one I recognized from when we were younger and he thought we were lying to him about something.“Olina, what new disadvantage are you at?”I glance at my mother and her eyes shift from calm to suspicious and meet mine as well. Shit, we haven’t told them yet. I find my mate’s eyes and he nods his head towards them with a small smile on his face. He leans over and whispers in my ear.“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, but its a good time to tell them”“Easy for you to say” I whisper back. He kissed my cheek and then helps me to my feet. I walk over to where Dad’s bed is and lean against it, arms length from them. I don’t say anything though. I just place my hand on my stomach protectively, and glance down at it. They follow my movements.“Inopportune timing, huh?” I ask with a small laugh, unable to hold back my smile though. I meet their eyes and see my mother’s hand
