Cassian

Silanya holds the box open with the bejeweled amulet. I’ve never seen anything like it, even among my family’s crown jewel collection.

The chain of the necklace is made of moonstones, each one intricately carved into the shape of a diamond or star. These lead down to an oversized broach in the center, one large blue stone that I don’t recognize surrounded by precious gems of all colors.

We’re all mesmerized for a moment at the sight of it, until a sound starts gurgling up from the wall

  • Bride of the Sea-King Alpha   Maggie of Bellthan - Epilogue Part 2

    MaggieThe loud yet pleasant sounds of the city fade as we travel farther into the country. It’s about an hour’s drive to Ethercrest, and our home is on its outskirts, so I sit back and relax, enjoying the beautiful countryside.Everything is in bloom right now. Purple, red, and yellow flowers blanket the hillsides. There are even a few trees with pink blossoms left over from late spring.We pass the town, and Oscar waves at some of the people he knows there. I join in the greetings, though I don’t feel like a local just yet. I know it will come in time. Everyone smiles when we pass. It seems like good people live here.Finally, we head toward our farmstead, and Oscar’s stomach lets out a growl.It makes me laugh. “I guess I’d better get started on dinner as soon as we get home.”“I’m hungry, I admit,” he says. “But I want to show you a few things before you dive into the kitchen.”“Okay,” I tell him. He’s been a little secretive lately, and I can tell he’s been preparing a surprise f

  • Bride of the Sea-King Alpha   Maggie of Bellthan - Epilogue, Part 1

    MaggieMonths Later, After the Events of Parts 1 and 2, Bride of the Sea-King AlphaIt’s impossible to hold back tears. I squeeze Eolande just a little tighter, and she makes sweet cooing noises in my arms.“You can come to the castle anytime you want to,” Lyra tells me. “You know that.”I nod, trying to fight keep the sobbing at a minimum. “I know I’m being a babbling fool, but I’ve gotten used to being so close to this little one every day.”“She loves you,” Lyra says. “She always will. I’ll bring her out to your new house as often as I can, I promise.”Nodding again, I press back some of Eolande’s soft pink blanket so I can see her eyes again. “She looks so much like you, so beautiful.”Now I see the moisture glistening in Lyra’s eyes. But before she can say anything, a strong, warm hand on my back gets my attention.“Are you ready?” Oscar asks.“Yes,” I reply, handing the baby back to Lyra carefully, giving little Eolande just one last, quick little kiss on her forehead.“You’ll h

  • Bride of the Sea-King Alpha   Farewell

    MaggieWe’ve marked each other.That’s certainly something I never expected. I know my parents did it, but that was a long time ago, and times have changed. Not a lot of mated pairs do it these days, especially in the higher classes.But they should. The moment Oscar sunk his fangs into me, I felt an even stronger connection between his wolf and mine. So, it’s not really for the human part of us, but I know our wolves will be happier from it.And now, I lay on his bare, muscular chest, listening to his heartbeat as if it’s the most natural thing in the world. From my small cabin window, I can see the first rays of sunlight coming up over the horizon.Oscar stirs suddenly, and I pull off of him so he can sit up. “What is it?” I ask.“The captain says we’ve arrived at Winterhaven,” he explains. “I’ll need to join the others for security.”“Of course,” I tell him, and he pulls me in for a deep, romantic kiss.“Go get some breakfast,” he suggests when we part. “I’ll try to meet you in the

  • Bride of the Sea-King Alpha   At Last

    OscarI would have brought down the Moon Goddess to marry us personally if I thought that was what Maggie wanted. Every resident of Oceana would be sitting in the pews cheering us on, and she would be wearing the finest dress in all the known kingdoms had she breathed out the slightest desire for a large wedding ceremony.But I know her heart, and her heart is mine.We’ve both waited for this day for more years than I care to count. All we want is to be together for the rest of our lives, to be sure the future holds nothing but being in each other’s arms.So, now we’re now married thanks to the kind captain of the Ironhawk, and my fingers are laced firmly around hers. She smiles at me while we walk town the ship’s hallways, and I can’t pull my eyes away from her.And I don’t have to.She’s mine.We’ve chosen her room. Neither mine nor hers is ideal for a wedding night, being so closely situated next to the sailors. But anyplace will do where we can be together.I open the door first,

  • Bride of the Sea-King Alpha   Happiness

    MaggieDays Later“Here.”It’s hard to hold back tears as I hand Lyra her makeshift bridal bouquet. It was such a fun little wedding aboard the ship. Now my new and very good friend is the Luna Queen of Oceana. How did all this happen in just a matter of days?“Enjoy the wedding night,” I tell her with a wink. I can’t believe I just said that, and I think I’m blushing just as much as she is right now.I watch her take Alpha King Cassian’s hand, and they walk together down the aisle until two of the ship’s crew open the door for them.As they disappear down the hallway, I can’t help but think of all the horrible things I’ve been told about Cassian. The people of my kingdom are certain that he’s evil. They gossip about how he is cruel to children, that he’s a womanizer, and that he takes pleasure in killing and inflicting pain on anyone and everyone.But I can see firsthand that none of that is true. The tender way he gazes at Lyra tells me everything I need to know about this Alpha Kin

  • Bride of the Sea-King Alpha   A New Home

    MaggieOscar has come into my life right when I need him.Since I was torn from the only home I’d ever known, I laid in bed many nights in silent tears, wishing there was someone out there who loved and cared about me, who could comfort me. I had even called out in the mind-link, hoping someone will answer.No one ever did.I began to tell myself this meant I’d never have a mate. There was no one out there for me. I was in this alone. After two years of nearly nightly tears, I accepted that fate and trudged along in a life with no meaning, no future, no escape.Then I befriended people... Belinda, Ivy. I thought things would get better. But I was torn away from them too.And then came Cookie, his rough exterior nothing but a mask for the kindness within him.I thought I’d be helping him in the galley forever, or at least, for a long time. I’d settled into life aboard the Coral, even with its flaws, because he was a part of it.And then... he exhaled his last breath in my arms.I was e

    Cassian“Shift!” I holler toward Lyra and everyone else in the vicinity, watching the smoke billow toward us. Staying in wolf form will keep us below the smoke so we can escape through the road, and most can run faster as wolves.She grasps the amulet, shaking her head. “I can’t lose it!”“Then jus

    CassianI will never grow accustomed to saying farewell to an Oceana warrior. I hate to admit that I did not know them all personally. It’s impossible, given the immense size of our army. But each one has been hand-selected, if not by me then by Turgan or one of my many trusted generals, and all ar
