• The Rogue Queen   Chapter 59

  POV Juxes We combed through the bunker like robbers looking for valuables. Grabbing one book and skimming through it before tossing it aside and grabbing the next. The pile of books growing by the minute. Candice stopping as she was walking in. “Miss Evens would be so pissed. She’s going to haunt us all for this mess.” She giggled. “Her ghost will just have to wait and maybe she would understand. She did always have a soft spot for Eric and Thea.” Nicolas said with a shrug. “Do you think she knew they were mates?” Thomas asked. “It’s doubtful.” I grumbled, waving my hand at them implying they need to get back at it. Thomas still walking around with a piece of jerky hanging out of his mouth. I swear he’s eaten half his body weight by now. Was taking small vials off one of the book cases and smelling each one, then reading the label. His hand bumped a small glass vial with a glass cork holding in its contents. As the black tar like substance oozed out of the jar, Thomas threw

  POV Eric Braxton slammed forward taking control in an instant. His large hands almost crushing the vial before dropping it onto the bed. Eyes scanning the room as he in hailed deeply. His nose scrunching with each large sniff. Thea’s scent still lingered heavily throughout the room, he rolled his shoulders popping the vertebrae between his shoulder blades as the scent of vampire blood burned his nostrils. Turning his head to the side and scrunching his face as a small whiff of something almost Krissy but not quite came through. Only realizing now that I had caught the scent in the courtyard. I remembered the huddle of Lycans there. I reminded him to pick up the vial before leaving the room. “No!” He said plainly, turning to leave. “Must I remind you, the King will cut off parts of us we are fairly attached to should it be misplaced.” I told him. “I won’t give it to her.” He growled. “I’m not saying we do, I’m just saying we can’t leave it here.” I pleaded. With a gr

  POV Thea Eyes closed, my limbs feeling heavy. The sound of a child’s laughter came to me in the distance. Like a tv had been left on in another room, I could hear it but couldn’t quite make out the words. A sharp scent hit my nose making me gag and my eyes jolt open. Krissy sat on my chest making it hard to breathe. Her face inches from mine. Her black eyes swirling with hints of every color. “You can’t sleep now.” She whispered. A low growl rumbled in her chest as she spoke. Her voice not quite her own. Moving my head back I tried to move far enough away for my eyes to focus. I could hear the sound of one of her claws elongating before cutting into the skin on my collar bone. “Ow, what the fuck Krissy.” I hissed bringing my hand up to check the bleeding. She leaned back putting her full weight on my stomach. Raising her hand to her mouth she licked the blood from her nail. A mischievous crooked grin slowly forming on her face. Watching in amazement as her swirling black

  POV Eric Nervously leading Thea into my quarters, I placed the books down on my small table. I would show her around but there wasn’t much to see. A king sized bed with a small metal frame, an oversized chair and a reading nook by the window made up the entirety of my world here. She yawned heavily, the sedative I had put in her food beginning to take effect. “It doesn’t look like much but it’s very comfortable.” I told her, patting the bed. She was hesitant at first I moved away from the bed giving her some space. She yawned again. “I don’t know why I’m so tired all of a sudden.” She said sleepily. As she yawned the third time I knew she was fighting sleep, no doubt uneasy with being in my room. I needed her out and soon, Francis was pushing hard to get the serum in her. I understood once she had her powers it would be harder to make her stay but I wanted so badly to not have to make her. Why Francis was so insistent she take it was beyond me. She’s the Lunar wolf, a perfect b

  POV Juxes The lights clicked on eliminating the bunker. The layout was interesting but not surprising, taking on the appearance of mansion style formal sitting room. The entrance had been hidden from us but Miss Evens had obviously spent a large portion of her time here. Not a speck of dust could be found and everything was neatly in its place. The only thing not where it belongs was a blueprint laying across one of the chairs. The corner had an address, totaling 10 pages spanning 200 years. It was the same building but each page illustrated a addition of some sort. We spread out looking for anything useful. I tried making sense of the blueprints but couldn’t understand most of it. For the first time I reached out for Aiden, he knew more about this than I did and I now regretted not paying attention when he had plans drawn up for the ski lodge. Nicolas found his way to one of the many bookcases. Running his hands over the rows he shuttered. “Are all these books made of skin?”

  POV Thea The first book he handed me looked very old, the pages were mismatched and you could tell it had been repaired in one way or another several times. “This is Francis’s journal, he wrote down everything he remembers happening. He started right after he built the main building here. To keep record of what happened before. It only seemed right considering Alabaster had begun writing his own version of how it all started.” He said with a sort. “Was he there?” I asked. “Alabaster? No, he was human. Joan’s mate and when they took off, him and Joan started making up their own version of the beginning.” Eric said. Flipping through the pages he found what he was looking for and stopped. Tapping his finger on the page. “We were told that Abigail refused the spirits deal. That she wouldn’t sacrifice a child to have one of her own.” “Her husband did.” I stated. “No! She wouldn’t sacrifice a child from her tribe. She made a deal with Francis, one of his tribes children and in r
