KELLEN I felt Rogue's worry and deep concern as Teal dropped the bomb on me “He knows she is your mate.” He had coughed up when he came too. “He will fight you, he will kill you.” Teal’s pained-filled words had sat heavily on my mind since he uttered them this morning. Rogue was clearly upset and I wished we could somehow converse. I may understand him better now, but I needed words, it was important to me that I had his opinion, not just give him commands or tell him what to do. I was definitely missing my Beta at this moment. Everything I did, every decision I made was with Mike’s input. We were a team and I valued his advice. I valued Rogues too, more so now that Ajani was no longer with us, but the communication barrier with Rogue hindered me: us. I found myself wandering the common area, gathering my thoughts, the sharp and shiny sword the old woman had bestowed upon me, twirling in my hand. My mind was on the fight that I was being thrown into this afternoon; There was no way

MATHIAS Things had not been going according to plan. I thought after Riocht things would get easier, or at least Lamia and I would find some normalcy in life. How wrong I was. The life of a King and Queen would always be anything but normal. We had been crowned the King and Queen of shifters and the work began to pile up. That wouldn’t be so bad, but Lamia was heavily pregnant with triplets, who according to the doctor had grown at an exceedingly faster than normal rate and seemed convinced that she was further along than we originally thought. We thought she had conceived when we were at MacTire before the battle, however, if we put the timeline back to the first time we mated it was in January, we were now in June. A few days later we completed the bonding in Avalon, her heat never fully surfacing because our souls bonded. Maybe that’s when she fell pregnant? She was almost at full term if she carrying pups, and another month to two if she was carrying cubs. I had the doctor perf

Day 17 of The Games KELLEN “Kellen Moon” A voice in the void whispered. The moon goddess was calling me home. “Kellen Moon” the soft feminine voice called my name. It was so calming, so comforting that I began to search for it in the darkness. A faint glow began to emerge from the depths of the surrounding blackness. It was warm and it pulled me in. So I went to it, letting the slowly brightening light pull me in. I felt content and happy as my bones began to warm the closer we got to the ever-growing glow of luminosity. “Kellen,” The voice was a little louder and as the darkness around me faded and turned to a cozy and agreeable brightness, I squinted my eyes, suddenly finding myself in a well-lit room. I looked around, finding my surroundings familiar, as I cast my vision over the rows upon rows of books. “Kellen!” This time the voice was abrupt and I swung around expecting the person to be right behind me. Instead, my gaze landed on a pair of high-back leather chairs, seated in

DAY 19 of The Games TALA My heart was broken, shattered into pieces, my wolf had not stopped whimpering and I had not stopped sobbing. The pain I felt was indescribable. I felt his life end, his essence fade and I felt it to my very core. Maybe because Kellen hadn’t marked me and the mating process wasn’t complete, was why my soul had not ripped in two. Maybe that was the reason I was still alive. But not for long, the air in this box was running out and my breaths had become shallow. How long had I been in here? I didn’t know. All I knew was that I had lost my mate before I even knew him, but that didn’t lessen the love I felt for him. All the hope I had, died that night. All that effort and planning for nothing; was wasted on a whim. The Moon Goddess had taken him from me just as fast as she had given him. I could never forgive her. I had been locked up in a small metal coffin-sized box. Jack had dragged me down here as soon as my father gave the command for Kellen to be whipped

Day 20 of The Games still KELLEN *Kellen,* Lamia’s sweet voice filtered into my head an instant calmness settled over me and my wolf *Don’t you dare fucking die on me again!* The sweetness was now gone as she scolded me, but still, the tone of relief remained accompanied by her love. *I will try not to* I chuckled back through the mind-link she had established with me. I had almost forgotten that distance had no effect on our ability to connect and it had become much easier since receiving the mark of her Knight, along with being able to link the other three Knights. Again distance did not hinder us in any way, which was why I contacted Mike as soon as I knew the barriers were down and the inhibitor chip had been disengaged. I was still wondering how that had happened. *You died* Lamia replied, reading my thoughts *When your heart stopped, the chip deactivated. Kellen, I could feel your pain. I felt your heart stop* *I’m so sorry* I said, truly meaning it because I was sorry that
