To further complicate things, young Warriors from a neighboring Kingdom arrive, several of which quickly feel a bond towards her. And looming above them all is the powerful Night King, who seems to have taken a keen interest on both Ayla and her Pack. Join the slow burn of Ayla's story as the adventure of a lifetime unfolds before her.
View MoreWe talked for hours about many things. I asked about her life back home and what her Pack was like, while she quickly realized that asking me about my life was pointless. I only gave vague or single word answers. I could see and feel the concern from her eyes, but with Claire still napping in my lap, I was able to stay strong.I also found out a lot about our situation. When I inquired if any slaves in the cage would tattle on us if we made any moves, she smiled sadly and shook her head.“There was an auction the day before you arrived so any of the rouges or visiting guests could take their pick before the rest of us were condemned to death,” she sighed, tears filling her eyes. “One of the men, I found out, enjoys buying high ranking she-wolves for his harem. He’s currently staying in the largest inn over there, waiting to take his newest purchases home after watching the spectacle of the Gamemaster killing the rest of us.”“And you think your daughter might be there,” I asked, looki
As Claire was crying into my neck, it took everything I had to keep from crying out in pain. Jannet had worked over my chest and stomach one last time just before we entered the mountain. After shifting back and changing, a murderous gleam filled her eyes before she took all of her frustration out on me before handing me fresh clothes to change into. Making sure, of course, to keep my face mostly intact to ensure I would fetch a mostly decent price from the Gamemaster.Which turned out to be a moot point since he took one look at me and sighed heavily.“Another slave,” he grumbled. “We already can’t find any buyers for all the ones we have now. We can barely feed the current livestock.”“We were told that you were buying all the rest for some sport in the arena,” Jason smirked, his eyes fierce. The Gamemaster shivered nervously.“I am, but I’m paying the bare minimum,” he had replied. “So, don’t expect anything different, Jason. Besides, I’m going to have to feed this one more than th
“Why are we still working for these fools,” Blake grumbled, Jason’s current right-hand man. Apparently, I killed his old second in command when they came to steal away the Pack’s pups. “Paxton is a coward and a moron, and his brother, the Rogue King, is nothing more than a pencil pusher. I’ve never seen him outside of his little office.”“That’s why I thought this would be a good opportunity,” Jason growled, clearly not agreeing with his old self anymore. “Show up, make some easy money working with these amateurs, then bail once shit hits the fan. I told them attacking one of the worlds strongest Packs was suicide. If he hadn’t promised to triple my fee, I would’ve walked away right then and there.”“Maybe we still should’ve,” Jenet sighed heavily. “We’ve already lost half of our men.”“Obviously,” Jason seethed, stopping to turn and face the other two. “It’s always easy to pick apart a decision after the fact, hindsight and all that shit. But, if you recall correctly, we all voted on
The Night KingThis whole thing turned out to be a complete disaster.When he hired the Rogue King to handle this mission, he warned the bastard not to let his moronic brother take part in it. In response, the man said he had no choice but to use his brother for such a sensitive mission, but he would attach his best Captain for support.The Night King’s plans were crumbling down with nothing to gain, and even more to lose. He’d flown to this Pack in the middle of nowhere with but one intention.To locate and recruit the Silver Myst.The Rouge King had no knowledge of his plans, only that he was supposed to capture the future leaders the Night King would send into their clutches. No one was to be harmed from that group, ensuring that his son and the rest were completely safe. His son would earn some renown for surviving being captured, the other pups would think highly of the Night Army’s skills when they swooped in to save them, and the current Alpha’s would swear their undying loyalt
MaizeThey were hunkering down in a small glade of trees, waiting for their parents to arrive, all of them naked as they had to shred their clothes in a hurry to escape as swiftly as possible. The fact that the rogues had silver ammunition meant the danger they were in was at a maximum. Maize had been of the same opinion as the boys, wanting instead to shred all the bastards to pieces instead of fleeing, but the presence of silver changed all their minds.Only an idiot or a madman engaged against a numerically superior force armed with the very weapons designed to kill or incapacitate them.It was nearly an hour after they sent a message to their parents and their absence was starting to affect them. Maize and the rest were all on high alert, using all of their senses to ensure that the enemy couldn’t sneak up on them again, spread out around the perimeter of the glade. Just as Maize was about to link her mother again, demanding to know when they were going to reach them, a series of
“No matter what you see or hear, don’t leave this tent until I come back for you,” I whispered to Claire, hugging her close and kissing her forehead. Tears filled her eyes, threatening mine to follow suit. Instead, I laughed and handed her my two inhalers.“Don’t worry about me, little one,” I continued, tucking them into her sweatshirt pocket. It was too big for her, even after I cut the hem and sleeves, but it was better than the tattered dress she was wearing before. I dressed her in every scrap of clothing I could pile on her in an attempt to keep the chilly night air away. “After the amazing job you did earlier, they won’t know what hit them. Thanks to you, this will be a night none of them will ever forget.”A small smile cracked on her lips and she nodded, determination filling her eyes.“I’ll protect your medicine with my life, mommy,” she said, leaning up to kiss me on the cheek. My heart swelled upon feeling her kiss, giving me more resolve than I’d felt all day. I’d just ta
