All Chapters of Stuck between the Royal Wolves: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Raya BanksThe blast of lightning behind my eyes made me scream as I felt the creature’s claws drag around the side of my face and I squeezed my eyes shut, shifting into my wolf and whirling around to catch only air, the beast’s mocking laughter echoing sinisterly in the dim hallway.“I found you, little girl,” The thing drawled in a snakey whisper and I gulped reflexively, scrambling back as a whimper escaped my throat.It could talk! Since when did the shadowlings speak? The black bull with red eyes and a glimmering gold nose ring stared down at me from it's gigantic haunch on the wall, it was still. Motionless.Something was wrong, but I didn't have time to think about it. I could still hear Laura’s muffled screams from behind the door asking me to open up, but somehow, the creature remained focused on me.I inhaled sharply, digging my hind legs into the hard floor and shooting up to rake my claws at the shadowing’s face before letting out a gasp when it dodged.“No!” I screamed as

Olivia BurnsEveryone in the Stone City Castle had gone mad the minute King Nikolai arrived!I had been sitting by the big windows of my chambers that faced the foyer, twirling a blade of the willow tree that snaked out into my palm absently when I heard the first screams.The battlement guards always cheered when the King returned, but it was different this time. I had flown out of my seat by the window just as the gates flew open with a gaping screech and the villagers rushed in with their mid-century style outfits and milk maid hats for the women.Exhausting things the lot of them, I was going to make sure to get rid of all the villagers once I was Queen. Put them to work as slaves or something, Nikolai was much too light-handed with the grubby little gold diggers if you asked me.“Meredith? What's going on?” I snapped, glancing to Anya instead who stood behind me and shrugged her shoulders before I realized I had placed my hands protectively over my belly and wrenched the limbs of

Raya Banks My heart was beating so loudly in my chest that it was all I could do not to pass out on the spot when Olivia Burns stared knowingly at me after her announcement. Was using the destiny stone worshipping the dark moon? Surely, Olivia couldn't know about my love hex with Nikolai? No, she wouldn't. I shook my head slightly to dismiss the thought, faking a smile and meeting her bright blue eyes gamely. “That’s a big accusation, Miss Burns, I reckon you make sure of your findings before leveling a resident of the Stone City Castle with such abomination.” Gallagher, the castle chief guard rumbled as he stepped up behind the King. His eyes were black, intense, and so sharp that it seemed like he was cutting into me with his glare. Crap. I needed to get out of here, I could feel the walls in my head closing in from the pressure of my guilt. If I wasn't careful, I would be the one falling to my knees to confess to Nikolai before the bitch even opened her bloody mouth. I presse

Raya BanksI had lost him, the king. The weight of the organization made the hollowness in my chest ache even more as I stood, sagging against the grand piano in the corner of the room, keeping my eyes trained on my fur shoes.Something had changed inside him when I saw him after waking up, and I was almost certain it was Olivia’s handiwork. How could Mary betray me so mercilessly? After everything we had been through back at Alpha Toph’s castle and even in Stone City!“Escort the maiden to her new quarters, Igor. She will work like the rest of all the other maidens. I have revoked your guest status in this castle,” Nikolai’s deep baritone rumbled through the room and shook the overhead gold chandelier slightly as I spasmed awake.What?! I was shaking my head before I realized it, making to move toward him and stopping when the guards warned me with their spears.“Y-You can't do that Nikolai! I...I can't work at the castle! That's too much punishment for me,” I cried in a hoarse voic

NIKOLAIThe singing of bush crickets ricocheted from one ear to the other, and it was not painless.Their enthusiastic singing was eerie in the dark cluster of the moonlit woods. Fucking hell, what was I doing out here? How long had I let my wolf run? I wasn't sure.“Athena’s cunt lips,” I cursed loudly when the sound of my back cracking as I moved echoed in the treeline and I sighed heavily, tasting the dried blood in my mouth and wiping it clean before stretching to my feet.I squinted at the swats of sunlight-yellow that stabbed through my hair from the spaces in the trees and looked down to see that I was still in my clothes from last night. A suit shirt and dress pants, complete with the Armani leather shoes I owned that were now stained with brown creases across the tip.I sighed again, running a hand through my hair as I began the long walk back home, all the while trying to remember what on earth I had been chasing and if it was all a dream.#“Are you ready? Your Highness? Th
