Evie’s POV“Are you sure about this?” Adam asks as we put our bags into the boot of his car.“Yes, Adam, Joshua and Lucas are our friends, we should be there to support them!” We are leaving today for British Columbia, way out in the mountains. The Lycans have claimed an entire mountain and built their palace. Adam found us an inn at the base of the mountain since, as an Omega, he can’t stay in his parents' home or the palace.Joshua and Lucas will stand before the king tomorrow and be sealed as mates. Not that the king can do much to break them. They are marked. He would be killing them. Joshua is the son of a council member and Lucas’s family is considered nobility. If these two align against the king, Augustus might lose.Also at stake, will the king test the theory of rather or not he can keep fated mates apart.“I have a bad feeling, but you are right, we need to be there for Joshua.”We drive all day and make it to the inn. It’s small, but clean at least.“You can’t be loud in he
Triggers Ahead.Evie’s POVStacey- Bruce and I don’t like this. He can sense Caesar, the King’s Lycan, and Caesar is very restless. The King is planning something.Me- Whatever happens, you stay with me, and I will fight for us.Stacey- I’ll always be here, no matter what.“So,” Augustus’s voice breaks through my thoughts. “Were there any witnesses to your haze?”“A human, however, we have other proof,” Adam says.“Oh, please show it,” Augustus’s voice is really starting to get on my nerves.“Evie has marked me, my mark is a wolf with an E, only fated mates get such marks,” Adam shows his mark.“Anything else?” Augustus looks bored. Not a good sign.“My wolf is marked, not even a Lycan can mark a wolf without consent,” I speak as well.“How does Alpha Hendricks feel about his beautiful daughter being mated to a Lycan?” Baxter asks. “He has been an outspoken opponent of the King.”“My father does not oppose the King, he opposes the abuse of power some councilors have shown,” I continue
Adam’s POV“I’ll snap your neck, you piece of shit,” I hold Baxter against the wall. He is such a weakling, I don’t even need Bruce.Bruce- But I want to be a part of his death.Me- Get in line.“Emma” Augustus mummers out as they all stare at her head.“You can’t kill me,” Baxter laughs and then he puts his hand on my shoulder, the way he has many times to the king.Bruce- Magic, he is using magic. RESIST HUMAN!Me- Take over.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bruce’s POVI can’t help but smirk as my human gives me control.“Lycan’s don’t react well to magic we go mad, or we give up. Our mate is special, she gives us untold strength,” I say to the wizard in my grasp. I lift him off the floor, so we are looking into each other’s eyes. “You are why, Caesar my King, is so restless. I can fix that.”I squeeze, cutting off his air flow. I keep squeezing. Emma was our nurse, she raised Caesar and I. Before we were awake, we knew Emma. The caretaker of our humans.Without his mate,
Evie’s POVThe world is spinning. My father and Mate are screaming. I tried to get away. I tried to fight him.“You are mine now. My queen,” his deep voice echos in my head as he whispers in my ear. Me-Stacey help.SilenceShe is gone. I have been marked by the king she will transform now. I won’t be able to have access to her until she is a Lycan. “You bastard,” Adam screams. “No Evie!”“Adam,” I manage to get out as I reach for him. But Augustus pulls me away. “Have Adam, her father and his men thrown into my dungeon,” Augustus orders. “When she marks me they can be released.”“I’ll never Mark you!” I spit in his face and try to get away. “Evelyn!” My father screams. “Don’t give him a reason to hurt you.” Dad and his warriors don’t resist. But Adam, Adam is fighting. “I Adam Kingston, Challenge you King Augustus Kingston for your crown and my mate,” Adam gets out. Everything stops. this was a formal challenge.Augustus laughs. “You have never been able to beat me.”“Then you h
Evie’s POV “Tell your daughter our agreement,” Augustus tells my mom.“You will be crowned. You will give the king an heir. After which you will be free,” My mother tells me. “I explained that you are very independent and won’t want to be tied down. Once you have produced a child and give him to the care of a nurse, Augustus will reject you. You will be free to live your life.”Stacey-Not a bad deal if you were more like your own mother. “So all you want is a child?” I ask Augustus. “Well, I will rather enjoy making said child,” He smiles. “But yes if after making love several times a day you still think you want to be free I will let you go. But should you chose to stay, you will be treated like the Queen you are. I promise.”“A Queen wouldn’t be breed,” I tell him. “Your mother said you were educated and intelligent, she forgot to mention you are nativè’. Surly you understand my love is real, but if you chose to not love me, I can’t force you. Nor can I force you to sleep with m
Adam’s POV I am brought to the arena. Its on top of the mountain. I used to love this place. Emma would bring Augustus and I up here to play in sunlight. “Come to die cousin?” Augustus asks. “She tasted so good. I can see why you want to keep her.”“You are a liar. If you tasted her, you tasted blood not long after. I know my mate,” I smirk knowing Evie would never willingly let him touch her. “She bears my mark,” He snarls. “Forced, not consensual. You can pull any PR stunt you want, you still forced your mark on a female. You are pathetic,” As soon as the words left my mouth he was on me. I threw him back with a strength I was unaware I had.Bruce-Stacey is sending us her strength and Evie is withholding from Augustus. He throws some messy punches that I dodge. What is up with him?“You should be sluggish and slow. I had you poisoned,” Augustus yells. The crowd gasps and is angry. “You see that is your problem. You ruled by fear. Your subjects were loyal because of fear. That
Evie’s POVI want to cuddle my mate. I mean he just marked me giving me the most explosive orgasm I have ever experienced. Sure it got interrupted, but it was funny. Adam finished sealing my mark and kissed me. “I’m going to kill him,” Adam snarls as I laugh. “Adam what the hell?” I say as he jumps off the bed and throws in pair of sweatpants. I jump up and throw his shirt on me “Adam wait.” He runs out of the room. I run after him. “Have you lost your mind?” Adam screams at the poor guard. The guard falls to his knees, “my king I swear I meant no harm. I thought you and the Queen were under attack.” “From what?” Adam snarls. “Technically, I was under attack,” I say drawing everyone’s attention. “You were pounding me and biting me.” Carson and the other guards hold back their laughters. “This is not funny,” Adam says to me through gritted teeth. “How old are you?” I ask the guard. “Twenty-two,” he says.“Are you mated?” He shakes his head. “Have you ever had sex?” Another
Adam’s POV“Hey Joshua what’s going on? Has the doctor gotten the results already?” I ask excited. “Did you use that recording contraption to make porn with Iris?” He asks angry.“What are you talking about?” Then I remember, I bought the prototype machine that records movies with sound. The first time I used it was with Iris on OH FUCK! “Did Evie see it?”“She collapsed and vomited on the captain of your guard. Lucas and Zulu are with her now. How in the fuck are you this stupid? How is possible that you could be this stupid?” Joshua is pissed. “You finally find your mate, she is perfect, the perfect Queen and your dumbass can’t remember to throw out the tapes of you plowing your human ex-girlfriend? When you got rid of the whore you should have gotten rid of the tape.”“Are you done?” I ask.“I haven’t even begun you bastard,” Joshua snarls. “Lucas wants to challenge your ass. And honestly he would win. The level at which you are , on my lack of respect scale has never been reached
