Grey's Alpha Go
ClaraWhen we all arrived at the center of Bragne, I saw the Alpha carrying bodies in his arms. His face was impassive. The smell of horrible smoke filled my nostrils, and I saw Sisley pouring oil on a pyre. Griffin and Prince Legiere’s two bodyguards threw rough-hewn logs on the piles of bodies. They were burning our dead. Ideally, the Moonstone Pack would have buried the dead, but there was no time anymore. Already, the carrion crows gathered on the dry branches of the oaks above the pyres. A particularly bold crow flew down to a body and pecked at an eye. The Alpha snatched it and ripped its head off. The crows screamed and flew off to another perch. Their beady eyes still gleamed with hunger.Prince Legiere nodded at the Alpha. “Did you catch the leader?”A grim snort left the Alpha’s lips. Even he did not come away unscathed. His right ear was torn to pieces. His face had several long gashes, and I could see tiny shimmers of consecrated silver left behind in its wake.I looked ov
Grey's Alpha Khordon
Clara Prince Legiere spun around and shifted into his werewolf form. The two at his heels did the same. He did not wait for me as his paws flew over the darkened grass and sandy pathways. I looked back at Prince Griffin and thought of Hazel. But already, Prince Legiere was a single dot in the distance. If I didn’t follow him, he would be far out of my sight. I was torn between two existences: to stay in a doomed pack with an Alpha who despised me or to finally find my freedom in some unknown pack further to the south. Griffin’s emerald eyes bored into me. “Go,” he said softly. There was no anger or haughtiness in his tone. I realized that he was giving his blessing to leave. “I will tell Hazel all that has gone on here,” he said. My throat squeezed in pain, but I managed to whisper, “Don’t let those damn vamps get you, you hear?” He laughed sadly, the sound of the gentle summer breeze fading into rustling grass. “Do you have so little opinion of me, Clara?” His eyes hardened. “The
Grey's Alpha Wolf With Many Faces
ClaraWe headed down the valley, and I burst with questions. What was Khordon like? What were the werewolves like? Did they also adhere to the caste system like the Moonstone Pack? Was Prince Legiere seriously going to introduce me to the Dark Shade clan as his concubine? I wanted to ask all of these things, but the prince’s quick steps once again forced me to push myself to the finish line.The strange sensation of paved, stone roads hit my feet, and I was stunned to see beasts of burden like horses and carriages travelling along the road. Werewolves dressed in all manner of colors, leathers, linens, and even silks stared at my rough wolf form. Some of them even chuckled, and I bared my teeth at them. They quickly moved on, though I don’t know if they were merely scandalized or actually afraid of the foreign werewolf who could possibly be insane. I must have been quite a sight for them to behold, though the feeling was mutual. I scented the ooze of decadence and wealth dripping off t
Grey's Alpha Alpha's Chamber
Clara We wound our way slowly up the twisted stairwell with stone buildings, stores, and marketplace stalls infesting every step. The stone steps were massive, and hundreds of werewolves stepped down and up in a great mass of bodies. A cacophony of noise assailed my ears: werewolves barking, heckling, laughing, and bargaining all at the same time. I couldn't easily discern rank by scent, as perfumes, spices, sugars, and of course the burning stench of pipe smoke filled the oddly warm air. Sweat beaded down my back. The time was the autumn's harvest, but Khordon burned me like a midsummer's day. Werewolves held lacy parasols over their head to shield their heads from the unrelenting sun. Part of me thought these prissy Khordonian werewolves looked ridiculous, but another part of me wanted my own parasol to hide away from Diantha's rival, Soliere the sun. Prince Legiere snapped his fingers. The retinue all halted as one. He pointed at a stone stall at the side of the road, and I saw p
Grey's Alpha Eavesdropping
Clara “I’ll be there shortly,” Prince Legiere said. He turned and stepped toward me. He paused before me, and I realized he was quite tall and lean. I could see the taut muscle in his naked chest as he brushed a stray hair away from my eyes. There was no stink of pipe smoke, but instead, I caught hints of rich woody musk and amber. It wasn’t an entirely unpleasant smell. Our eyes met, and he bent down quickly. His lips brushed against my forehead in a strangely formal kiss. I was too surprised to say anything, and he nodded at the servant. “See you tonight,” he said. He waited for the servant to move further away, and he gave the lowest of whispers. “And don’t even think about heading out to your right, running down the corridor, heading up the southeast steps, and sliding away the false entrance tile hidden under the tapestry of a boar hunt.” He winked at me, and then he strode off to where the servant was waiting. I blinked and chewed my lip. Clearly, he wanted to show me someth
Grey's Alpha His Betrothal
ClaraI saw all that I wanted to see. As quietly as I dared, I crawled back through the passageway. Once I was sure I was far enough from the room, I scrambled as fast as I could to the exit. I felt the tile with my hands, slid it open, and I leaped out of the exit. I bumped directly into another werewolf.“Sorry,” I gasped. My heart still pounded from what I had just heard. I stared at the werewolf who eyed me critically.It was the werewolf who called me a country bumpkin from Bragne. He was younger and shorter than me, but I could see that he had a lean strength in his body. His silver hair matched the color of his pale eyes, and he dressed in simple violet leather. A black cloak covered his head. I noticed the color of his darker skin, and I wondered if he was a Northerner.He glanced at me and the passageway I just came out of. “How did you know about this place?” he asked. His voice was surprisingly steady, and I wondered if he was angry or not.I didn’t know if I was supposed t
Grey's Alpha Sorcerer
ClaraA cool breeze wafted through the windows. I drowsily stirred from sleep. Oddly, I felt incredibly comfortable and warm, despite the coolness of the room.Naked arms circled around my waist, and I felt something nuzzling my neck and cheek.“Soft….” Prince Legiere murmured in his sleep.I broke away from his arms with a start, and I realized that I was on the bed along with him. Did he carry me here? I wanted to smash another pillow in his face, and I grabbed a cushion to do so. I was about to wake him up, but then I grew fascinated by his sleeping face. His long indigo and silver hair were strewn about his face in a disheveled mess, but for some reason, it only made him look even more desirable. His long indigo lashes fluttered momentarily, and his jaw worked out some tension in his face. He was surprisingly muscled and fit, and I tried not to stare at how broad his chest was.He groaned and shifted to his side. His arms found me again and crushed me against his side. I gasped at
Grey's Alpha Stigma
ClaraFelix pulled up his hood at the sound of my gasp and narrowed his eyes. He looked to the prince for guidance. Prince Legiere only smiled through his teeth at me and continued to smoke, as if it were just another day dealing with a sorcerer.“He has the Stigma and the Mark,” I said. Suddenly, I was unsure of myself. In the Moonstone Pack, or anywhere in Lycaneum, Felix would have been hunted, questioned, and burned alive. Sorcerers were burned, so that the Stigma would not spread to any other werewolf.I remembered Prince Legiere’s young betrothed. She too had the Stigma. Had there been an outbreak here in Khordon? Why hadn’t word gotten out about this in nearly every corner of Lycaneum? Is this why the Alpha of the Moonstone Pack wanted nothing to do with the Dark Shade? Did he hear about the sorcerers – werewolves who defied all reason and sought the arts of magic, at great risk to themselves and to everyone around them?“I’ve got the Mark,” Felix said coolly. “What of it?” Onc
