For such a small town, Beta Kendra Sullivan found the Alpha’s palace a little too ostentatious for her liking. Almost everywhere they passed, if it wasn’t adorned in gold, then it was diamond or some other flamboyant, rich metal. When the nice, kind old man, Saul, informed her that they were going to have to be granted a meeting with the Alpha first before anything else, Kendra knew that they were going to be attacked with the tedious procedures of bureaucracy and protocol. Seeing the male and female wolves in the little town, going about their activities had stirred a feeling that Kendra identified very well. She missed her pack. A part of her wondered if Killian felt the same. If she as Beta was feeling this nostalgic, she could only imagine how he as Alpha was feeling. She thought about her new found female friends… young Elinor, Rhea, Miguel and Dante, wondered how they were faring in an entirely new pack that probably had a completely different way of doing things. Kendra ev
Kendra! His mate had finally returned to him! In that split second that they stood there, staring at each other, a lot of emotions flashed in the Alpha’s eyes; Elation, at the wonderful miracle of seeing her again, Guilt, at the compromising position she had seen him in, And finally, blood searing rage at the sight of other wolves manhandling his mate like that. “Let go of her, she’s with me,” He growled lowly, angrily as he menacingly closed the distance between them. The guards did as he had asked, finding the Alpha aura emanating from him quite too powerful to bear. One step, And then another. And he and Kendra were standing face to face. He did not wait for her to think much of it, he just pulled her against him and roughly claimed her mouth, revealing to her all the emotions that were coursing through him that he couldn’t really explain with words. She kissed him back with just as much frenzy, the people standing beside them forgotten, the fact that she was probably sme
You would think that after such a traumatic past day, now that Kendra was installed in a plush room with everything she could possibly need, her hair and body washed, and her clothes changed into something fresh and comfortable, sleep would naturally come to her, especially since she was lying on that huge bed with sheets so soft that it was as though she were sleeping on clouds or feathers, but it was far from that. She couldn’t sleep. No. Not after her conversation with Killian. The past five days had completely changed him, and not only appearance wise. This was a whole new Killian, she could barely recognize him, and it had just been five days. Silver Crest can wait. She couldn’t stop playing his words over and over again. The Killian she knew would die before those words ever tumbled out of his mouth. The Killian she knew always put his pack above everything else— above himself even. But now, he wanted to play superhero to another pack that coul
The bounce and excitement that had fueled Kendra’s steps all vanished at the sight of the image she was greeted with when she stepped foot in the courtyard. Her supposed mate, if she could even call him that was kissing the Aiyisha woman! A lot of emotions rushed through her in that moment, the most prominent one surprisingly being hurt. You see, Kendra had had a bad feeling about the two of them ever since she stepped foot in the small town. There was some kind of—what could she even call it, chemistry? She had felt it, but she had tried not to think much of it, especially when she had been the one to push him into the situation in the first place, but now, it was all clear. Perhaps, she wasn’t as needed as she had initially thought herself to be, and honestly speaking, the whole revelation was a really humbling experience for the female Beta. She wanted to shift, and attack the bitch for moving onto her mate like that, wanted to tear out her hair, and rip out her heart with her b
This time, Killian told himself that he wasn’t going to let any rift come between them again, and so he tossed the last words she had uttered at him in the trash, trying everything possible to wear down her defenses. But it seemed he had forgotten who he was dealing with. Forgotten how much of a stubborn headed mule she was, how much of a stubborn mule she could be. The lengths Kendra had gone in the past two days to stay away from him were crazy. She was gone all, day, only to return at night. He practically camped at her door, but he never got to see her. One maid had given him a hint that she had been hiding in the library as well, but it seemed word had gotten to her that he knew, for she had stopped showing up there altogether. All of this combined with training for the upcoming war, and Killian found that he was barely getting the much needed rest he deserved, but he didn’t care. All he wanted was his mate. As for Aiyisha, he didn’t even want to talk about her. He didn’t care
“What do you mean by heat?” Kendra asked, an amalgamation of fear and confusion in her pain-filled eyes. “Heat as in the very one full wolves experience? But that is impossible.” Kendra knew how the whole heat thing worked for complete wolves. It always fascinated her to no end, but werewolves didn’t get that. There had never been a recording of such a case anywhere in werewolf folklore or in any books. “Well I’m not completely ruling it out.” Aiyisha answered as she wiped sweat of Kendra’s face with a cool, wet piece of cloth she had retrieved from her bathing chambers. “I really don’t know why you’d find that surprising though, especially when prior to you two, we haven’t had any records of werewolves being blessed with the mate bond.” Aiyisha had a point there. Another bout of pain hurtled through the female beta, this time accompanied by an even stronger urge to puke. Thankfully, Aiyisha was perceptive enough to notice and provide a bucket right before Kendra retched her guts ou
Aiyisha stared at the silver witch as though she had lost her head. “Is… uhm, are you sure that’s safe?” “Oh, but of course!” Another flip of the hand. “It’ll be exactly as the Goddess has planned.” She explained cheerily. The blonde haired wolf hesitated a bit. It wasn’t as though she wanted to challenge the silver witch… no far from it. It was just that she wasn’t sure it seemed like such a good idea. “You want to say something, out with it already, child,” The witch blinked in exasperation. “I don’t mean to question your advice, but I just don’t see how feasible it is, especially with the young Alpha being as agitated as he is.” “As much as I can sense your concern, I can’t help but ask, are you sure there is no other ulterior motive to this sudden change of heart and seemingly genuine concern?” “I-I ’m not sure I understand you, ma’am,” “Lemme break it down for you then. Are you sure you still do not want the young Alpha all to yourself?” Aiyisha bent her head in shame, “Yo
“Ken, there’s a parchment here for you,” Killian noticed the document on the table as he was in the process of fixing her something to eat. Heading over to hand it to her, the words and his movement snapped her from her wild thoughts. “Did you get one too?” She asked in puzzlement as he handed her the document. The Alpha shook his head in the negative, going back to his earlier task of getting her some food. Kendra opened the parchment curiously. What at all did Aiyisha want to tell her? It was giving off some very serious vibes, she wasn’t going to lie, the seriousness of it all unnerved her a bit. Her eyes swiftly scanned the document, Dearest Kendra, I’m sorry for putting you in what must definitely be a very uncomfortable situation. I really had no choice. I don’t know if you remember, but you asked me to contact Morgana, which I did. She was the one who advised that I do this if we wanted to have any shot at saving your life. If you’re reading this, then I guess you have mad
