Novels by Bethany Mcgreevy

Lena sat stiffly in the heavy chair at the dining table, her gown tugged at her ribs with every breath she took, making her feel trapped. The room was warm and comfortable, the smell of roasted meat filled the air, and the wine she was drinking was clearly expensive, but she felt nothing. Just emptiness. Her skin pricked and her body still felt fatigued even after the antidote Annie had given to her, though her mind was becoming clearer by the second.The three women sat opposite her, they had done nothing but stare since she had taken her seat at the table,, the silence was becoming heavier as the seconds ticked by.The one in blue spoke first, dark curls framed her face and made her brown eyes look harsh, she leaned towards her with her eyebrow raised in amusement. "So. You're the new one are you?" She sneered "Pretty face, but don't be fooled young one, you may be heir to Steeleclaw, but you are no better than us".Lena's fingers clenched in the skirts of her dress, but she remaine

Lena's eyes snapped open, but all she saw was darkness. Her body was contorted in a tight space, every inch of her body hurt, she had clearly been in this space for a long while. A sudden lurch of her space and the roar of an engine told her she was in the trunk of a car...Panic exploded through her body, her breaths were coming in short pants, claustrophobia was making the space feel even tighter. The car lurched forwards suddenly and she was thrown against something hard, her head split open with a searing agony, snapping her out of her panic Amethyst? she called to her wolf in her mind Are you there? I'm here Lee, but I haven't got long. What's happening? I'm not sure, I have just awoken too...We are in a trunk, I'm sure you've already figured that out... I think there's two...... Suddenly. Lena felt the void in her mind swallow her wolf again. Amethyst? No reply. She was alone, and that realisation made it all come back to her. She remembered bits and pieces

The door creaked open, and Lena's stomach dropped."Where is my father?" she demanded, her voice raw with panic, she rose from the bed and stood on the cold stone of the floor, and stepped towards her captor.Darius stepped into the room, revealing himself fully, calm and composed. His clothes were spotless, not a wrinkle in sight. He didn't have a single hair out of place. He looked completely untouched by whatever violence had unfolded outside the room, as if he sat and watched the whole thing. That calm expression he held on his face was its own kind of cruelty, he was completely unbothered by everything that happened."Patience, Luna" He said, the words flowing from his mouth in a soft croon. "You'll see soon enough."She ran at him as fast as she could, trying desperately to dodge around him and get to the still open door. His hand shot out like lightning, she had forgotten how fast he could move, he caught her by the arm, his grip was as strong as steel. He pulled her to face hi

Lena woke up shivering and sore, still curled on the cold stone floor. Her temples throbbed and her veins still burned from the injection, Her mark still prickled with the longing for her chosen mate and her heart ached from the force of the betrayal. But worse than the pain was the emptiness inside her soul.Amethyst? No answer....Nothing emptiness.AMETHYST she begged, searching for her in her mind.. But there was nothing but empty space where she lived. Her wolf was gone, they had been together since Lena had come of age, as soon as a person turns 16 they receive their wolf, a gift from the Moon Goddess herself, and Lena's had been stolen from her.Her chest heaved with sobs as she stood on weak legs and stumbled to the still locked door, She beat her knuckles against it until they bled, the wounds no longer closing within seconds, Her wolf had taken her supernatural strength with her, "LET ME OUT OF HERE...PLEASE!"There was no response, only more silence.Hours passed, she tried

The drums had faded and the torches had died down, but the clearing was still alive with laughter, music and the smell of alcohol in the air. Wolves from both packed mingled awkwardly, Steeleclaw's sharp eyes watched Stormhold's darker dressed warriors with suspicion, they all looked so foreboding. Darius kept Lena pressed to his side, one broad hand curled at her waist as if she was already his most treasured possession.Everywhere she turned, he seemed to be there, pouring her wine, leading her around the most important people there, stopping any male that tried to hug her in congratulations with a smile that charmed and intimidated at the same time. He was a man that commanded the space around him effortlessly, and Lena couldn't deny the pull of him.. She couldn't wait to see his wolf.Hold your head high Lee, we are not a sparkly ornament. Remember who we are. Amethyst reassured.Lena's fingers tightened around the stem of her goblet. She leaned subtly into Darius's touch, she smi

The Blood Moon was brighter than ever before, the wolves were assembled. Each pair of eyes fixed on her, unwavering and predatory in their anticipation. Lena felt the weight of their gaze in her bones, an immense sense of pressure filled her as she waited...Feeling vulnerable in human form and wishing very much to turn around and run away, her heart pounded and the world span as she thought about what was going to happen next, what she had to do...But she had no choice...She never had a choice.She was the daughter of Alpha Theron, heir to the Steeleclaw pack, and tonight she would stand at the centre of two great forces. The Steeleclaw Pack had survived for generations, but a new threat lurked just beyond their borders.
