LYNA

As I emerged from the darkness and entered the fading light of the street lamps, a subtle yet distinct odour of human blood permeated the air. The small human town had always been a very nice hunting area, but I had long ago sworn off hunting for sport. Since I had spent so many years living in self-control and just taking what I needed to survive, no one would ever know what was hiding in the shadows. But tonight I felt restless, like I had an itch I couldn't get rid of. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but something was changing. My keen senses detected a figure travelling in the other direction as I turned a corner. He was tall, broad-shouldered, and exuded a commanding aura. He was a wolf. His scent was distinct, earthy and sharp, mixed with something darker—something that spoke of power and turmoil. Time seemed to stop for a moment, and I cocked my head to one side, curious. "I might ask you that." He said in a low, gravelly voice as if he weren't used to speaking softl

  • CLAIMING HAILEY    CHAPTER 248: UNWANTED GUEST

    LOGANYou can't hear a bird make a sound after she finishes stinging because we're all equally in shock... Is there anything at this point that she isn't capable of doing?I finally close my mouth after she exits the place of burial before facing Ryan. "Like...did you know she could sing this well?"He shakes his head negatively. "I had absolutely no idea, but let's get real; I haven't exactly been mate of the year, you know, so every time she does things like this, I am reminded that I don't really know the mother of my kids at all."Jaden scoffs, "At least I understand better why every powerful male species wants her badly... Let's be real: if she weren't my mother, I'd want her too, yet you keep messing up on all fronts."I find Hailey in the war room, staring at the map while holding chess pieces without her veil; even with her bare face and the level of power she embodies, she looks effortlessly young and innocent. Turtela laughs, "Enough, Jaden; we're adults now. Forgive the ol

  • CLAIMING HAILEY    CHAPTER 247: LAST RITES

    AARON Smack! We are stare in shock as we watch the Queen hit an elder; what she's done I have no idea but we all curiously stare as we watch her being escorted out of the ceremony by guards. The whole time we've all been on edge, grief has taken its complete roots in us all and presently I am so exhausted. The day of Isaiah's burial arrived with a sky weighed down by clouds, heavy and unmoving, as if the heavens themselves mourned with us. I stood at the edge of the courtyard, arms crossed tightly over my chest, trying to keep from trembling. The wind carried no song or brightness today. Only the silence of grief. Everyone was dressed in shades of black and grey. The Queen, Hailey, wore a flowing black gown that whispered across the stone like smoke, a veil hiding her expression, though I could still see the pain in the set of her shoulders. She hadn’t said much since my father fell. Not to me, her mate, her friend or even her kids. I could only imagine what she was feeling—he w

  • CLAIMING HAILEY    CHAPTER 246: THE SUMMONING

    HAILEYThe silence of the council chamber was stretched on like a lowly gravesite. Every breath I took echoed in the vaulted walls, bouncing off the stone like whispers of the dead. My fingers, hidden beneath layers of silk and lace, clenched tightly around the black veil that shrouded my face. Mourning has continuously taken its toll on me, and truly I didn't have it in me to fake pleasantries or keep up unnecessary pretentious appearances since I'd rather be locked up alone in my room with no one around me, but alas, being a queen has no room for private mournings. But this? This summoning? This was mockery wrapped in diplomacy in the hands of manipulative individuals itching to have their own selfish way.The Council of Elders sat before me like immovable statues, ancient and trembling in their self-importance. Their eyes flickered between my veil, my silence, and the towering figures behind me.Ryan stood at my right, his arms folded across his chest. Fury rolled off him in silent

  • CLAIMING HAILEY    CHAPTER 245: GOODBYE OLD FRIEND

    ISAIAH I woke with a strange heaviness in my chest. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. Not because of any wound or illness, but because something in the world had shifted. Something dark had breached the veil of peace, and though it has been a roller coaster of emotions, I know that something has breached the territory. Hailey had put me to rest, whispered soft assurances that I needed for sleep to come, and assured me that I'd done enough and this wasn't my fault. But as I sat up, her voice still lingering in my memory, I knew that I had more to do. The castle walls were shaking. The smell of death clung to every corner of the castle, and I knew for a fact that someone was dying today, but I had no idea who the person was going to be, and so I made my way in stealth mode to observe the situation before concluding on my next line of action. A low rumble carried through the air, like thunder echoing off a mountain."No..."I hasten my footsteps with more urgency, the weight of premoni

  • CLAIMING HAILEY    CHAPTER 244: REJECTION

    ISAIAH The moon hung low, its silver light washing the courtyard in a glow that felt too peaceful for the war stirring in my soul. I leaned against the pillar of the east tower, watching as the wind stirred the trees while the seas flowed and swayed in peace. My mind had been heavy for days now. Lilith’s energy clung to me like a stormcloud, oppressive and wrong. I felt her again just hours ago. Her pleasure. Her wicked joy. Not with me. Never with me. For the sake of the death of her child, she chose to ignore wrong and right, engaging in debauchery, constantly punishing me for not forsaken Hailey, for not siding with Serenia despite the fact that she was the one in the wrong and so she sort the father of her child out and planned for revenge. And I could no longer lie to myself. "Isaiah." Her voice slithered into my awareness before her form did. She appeared behind me, her dark beauty draped in silks that clung to her like shadows. I didn’t turn immediately. "You’re fi

  • CLAIMING HAILEY    CHAPTER 243: AMBITION

    AUDACUS How they think I have no idea what they are doing; I have no idea. I see the greed in Leviathan as he stares at Hailey's portrait; he wants her and everything she has to offer to himself, but right now I'd play the blind fool and let him think I see nothing. I summon Kalesh, who has replaced Shadow Knight in rank after Hailey obliterated him. "Kalesh keeps shadow warriors around Leviathan; make sure they are undetectable and let them report all his movements to you. You must miss nothing."He bows. "Yes, my king.""Also keep an eye on Lilith so she doesn't do anything foolish in the name of grief; she's become an absolute liability, and if she doesn't behave, you have my full support to eliminate her." He exits, and Akael comes in looking defeated even with the full regalia he is wearing presently."Hello, Father"...."Hello, son, what report have you brought to me that has you looking completely defeated?" "Is there really no other way that we can get Akasha back without h
