LOGINNina's POV: Flashback: 22 years ago... I woke up feeling weird. My eyes were opened but everything was blurry, and the voices around me, muffled. I realized I was sitting in a chair and I was directly across from someone. I held my head, trying to focus, when all of a sudden, my arm was snatched up and I was yanked from my seat. "NINA!!" I jumped at the force behind my named being called by my father and the grip he had on my tiny, thin arm. Our eyes met. "WAKE UP AND FOCUS!!" He yelled. "DON'T SPEAK TO HER THAT WAY, SEVERIN!!" My eyes and mind began to finally function. I looked back over to the person in front of me, and I went pale. She was bound to a old wooden chair, chained and guarded on either side. I looked around, not sure where I was or how I even got here. My shaky voice came out in a tiny whisper, tears forming in my eyes. "Queen Feronia?" Her sharp gaze left my father before it softened as she looked at me. "Hello, darling." She smiled. I tried so hard not to
Trackers POV: "Is everything set?" "Yeah. They wanted us to wait till it was closer to 11pm, but we'll just go with the best opening." I shook my head. "They said the shifts changes at 10:50pm, so 11 is our best bet, or maybe a little after." My partner nodded. I recieved a text from my alpha. Message: Alpha: My men are about 30 mins out. They will be on foot in 15. At that point, you get your future Luna or don't bother returning. Me: Yes, alpha. End of messages. I showed my partner what was said, and he nodded. Suddenly, the doors to our cell were opened. We walked out into the circle that they had us hung from, watching Lucius walk towards us. His arms were folded behind his arms, and he held a cool smile on his face. "Everything is ready on our in. It is almost time. Are your people here?" Lucius asked. "Almost.""Almost needs to be now." He replied, sighing. "Do you know where you're going?" My partner and I nodded. "There's a hidden tunnel through the double doo
Seth's POV:I stood by with a glass in hand, watching the horrendous show of my king dancing with such a lowly creature. To top it off, my son decided to make of show of tangoing with that woman as well. The way in which they interacted with one another, whispers began to circulate. I slowly strode around the room, my eyes fixated on the duo. "They look rather good together.""Who is that human?""Do she have some sort of relationship with the king?"I listened with great irritation to the conversations that began to spin around the rumor mill. My fingers tightened around the thin glass stem that sat between them. Lucius looked a little too chummy with the girl for my liking. I looked over. Prince Cersai stood as still as a statue, never allowing his gaze to slip away from them, arms tight around himself. I frowned.Why even allow this to happen?My gaze filtered up to the king and princess. They watched the duo dance as well, casually talking, all while keeping a lazy eye on my son.
Connor's POV:Anxiously, I waited. Everything was finally coming together, but my anxiety won't ease until I have my prize in my hands. It all seemed to be happening quickly, which gave me pause. I received a call from my trackers yesterday night, and it ended with a video call from someone very unexpected.Flashback...I was in my office late, going over a few particulars. I was slowly trying to expand my territory. After giving up a piece of my land all those years ago in order to have a claw in Blackcresent, I was beginning to feel as though I gave it up for nothing. That was until I saw her. From that moment, all my future endeavors revolved around and included her. I'm a man that can wait, especially when in that patience my reward is great. A knock came from my office door. I responded haphazardly, never tearing my gaze from the papers on my desk."Come in."I heard the door creak open. Footsteps approached my desk. I knew it was my beta. Only he has the authorization to interru
Kwen's POV:My gaze slipped away from the girl I've come to know as Nina, back to the king. He looked down at me, concerned written all over his face. I took a deep breath."I don't believe those families dabbled with dark magic. I would smell it, but they don't smell clean. That's the only way I can put it for now."Julian nodded, not looking around anymore. Neither of us wanted to draw attention. We continued to sway for a bit longer. As we moved, a faint smile found its way to my lips."What's the smile for?"Julian asked, mirroring my joy. I broke out into a smile, looking up at him."I never thought I'd get a dance like this.""A dance like what?"He asked. My eyes found their way to my dad, my smile falling some."When I was meant to be hidden away from the world, if there was some sort of gathering at the pack house, I would sneak to the hall, usually from the outside garden, and watch everyone inside. People would join hands and dance around. It was all so elegant. Beautiful.
Kwen's POV:It took a bit, but I was finally ready to head to the gathering. The women looked at me in awe, gasping and clutching imaginary pearls."You are incredibly stunning!"One gasped out, as the other 2 nodded their heads in agreement. I smiled, rising to my feet. I walked over to the full body mirror, and was shocked myself. I looked damn goodt!!"Damn."I whispered out. The women giggled. One scurried behind me and began pushing me towards the door."Go. Go! You're already late as is.""Have fun."The last one said to me, wiggling her brows. I laughed as I exited. I walked the halls and began to head towards where the gathering was meant to be held. I noticed people were still filtering in. I ducked off behind a wall, peeking round the corner. I saw many faces. One thing I can definitely give to these supernatural beings, they be sexy as fuck!! I mean, I love a good beast, all brute and bulky. But some of these lean, muscular men, with sharp and soft features, and hair silkie
You've got to be fucking kidding me?!Another prince?Nope! Nah!!! I'm good.I looked at his smug smile and rolled my eyes. I looked over at my girls."Y'all ready?"I said, as I stood to my feet. I looked back down at Aurelio, who's face has changed to one of confusion."Well. Thanks for dinner, b
I was anxious. I couldn't wait to see Kwen once more. She was so refreshing to be around. She's incredibly intelligent, funny, caring, and beautiful doesn't even begin to describe the way she looks. She walks with so much confidence and in strength. I've never met another like her. When we were out
I followed behind Kwen as we exited the dining hall. I saw the many faces of the members of this pack look at Kwen with embarrassment. Knowing that most of these people were abusive to Kwen in one way or another bothered me. I frowned at them all, and they all bowed their heads, hiding from my glar
I started hearing noise around me as I tried to sleep.'Kwen. Wake up. Our mate, Psy's mate and our brother are here.''You've got to be kidding me right now? Halo, tell them to leave.'She chuckled.'I can't.'I groaned inwardly. I focused on the noises in the room. My brain was still trying to wa
