LOGINChapter 52Sitting at the vanity, I quietly watch Liam in the reflection as he turns to the next page of a book about demons and their weak spots, a gift sent to me from Aahana in hopes of using it to attack and defeat Shadows a soon as we spot them in our borders. I had already read that book from cover to cover, intending on sharing a breakdown of the information with the other Alphas, Lunas, and Betas at the conference, but it seems this will have to ait for a few more days.Not only that, but we will now need to wait for Malcom and Ali who asked to return to Frost Moon, wanting to bring Damon’s body back instead of his ashes. Apparently, his pack wanted to confirm that Damon was indeed dead themselves, not trusting Malcom’s words just yet.At first, I wanted to refuse, but Malcom said he needed to do this as the next Alpha. To reassure his wolves that a better future was just ahead for Frost Moon. Finally, I consented to their quick trip, reminded him that the Alpha Conference will
Chapter 51Staring at the buddle of blood slowly being mopped up by the maids, I feel the power of a full-fledged Alpha coursing through me. Damon had been a good man, a good Alpha, but being powerful had been drilled into him since his mother’s death. He took her death the hardest out of all of us, his father more so. At forty-four years old, Damon had ruled Frost Moon with his father’s law of being a Warrior only pack. We had no Omegas, just weaker Warriors who were delegated to those who took care of the day to day running of the pack.I had tried to convince him for years to change this law, stating our pack was declining without Omegas and other necessary roles, but Damon dismissed me, stating the pack was fine. It was not fine.Damon became obsessed with power ten years ago when our pack mates decided that leaving with their soul mates was a better choice than giving them up. He was obsessed with growing stronger, with being better than his father, that he missed what would have
Chapter 50All eyes are on Liam and me as we walk down the staircase into the ball room. Whispers circulate the large room, wondering when I had hand picked a chosen mate. It takes everything in me not to roll my eyes, but Liam reaches over and squeezes my forearm gently, reassuring me through our mate bond that everything will be okay. We stop at the base of the steps, my eyes scanning the crowd and taking in every Alpha, Luna, and Beta that were in attendance for this conference.[Bells?] Liam’s voice calls through our mind link, worry and reassurance mixed into his voice.[I am fine.] I reply, my voice light. Liam squeezes my forearm once more before removing his hand from me and putting it behind his back in the well practiced royal pose. My lips curl in amusement at this as just days before Liam looked awkward with one hand at his side and the other behind his back while he practiced this pose. Now, he looked like the Luan King he will soon become, comfortable with my one arm loo
Standing on the balcony overlooking the ballroom where the luncheon will take place, I take a deep breath and close my eyes. I already noticed Damon Frost lingering by the thrones, eyeing them with greed and determination. He looked sickly, exactly like Leo mentioned. Pale and frail and not like the man who rejected me six years ago. He must have felt our mate bond snapping, breaking and disintegrating into nothing.“Everyone is here now.” Liam’s voice calls softly, his body gently pressing against mine from behind carefully enough not to wrinkle the cream and white gown I wore with gold embroidery. I know Liam is wearing a matching the matching suit by the colour of fabric draped over his arms which were holding me close.“I know.” I whisper, not sure if I was ready to face everyone just yet. Everyone below us was told to wear their formal attire as a surprise would happen after the luncheon. I can already hear talk of me introducing the Alpha King, and I have a feeling Damon was wai
Stepping out of the black SUV that the Royal Pack had waiting for us at the private air strip, I look up at the building before me. Gone was all the snow caused by Isabella’s pain of rejection. Instead, the brick glistened under the sunlight, with plants and trees back to their former glory. Gone were the winter clothes the wolves of Nightlock Thorns wore for six long years, replaced by light spring clothing and happy smiles on the Omegas who were bustling about for the day’s event.“Alpha Frost.” A wolf calls out as he exits the open Palace doors, their sharp gaze making me bristle. I did not know this wolf, but he wore a blazer with the Royal Guard insignia. He was one of Isabella’s men, and I would be damned if I attacked him before sinking my teeth into her neck and marking her. Hell, I am still too weak from the bone-shattering pain that knocked me unconscious to be able to fight properly if this wolf decided to try something against me.“Captain of the Guards, Colin Foster, at y
“Liam, we have work.” I protest as he rains kisses along my neck, right where his mark will sit in a few hours. Today was the Alpha Conference, and all Alphas will be in attendance without fail, including my ex-mate. After returning home from our little trip, Liam and I had told my parents that we were fated mates. At first, my parents were skeptical, already knowing that Damon Frost had rejected me, but Moira came to our aid, explaining that I was Moon Blessed and could freely choose my own mate, especially since I had been rejected by the one the Goddess had chosen for me.With Moira’s explanation, my parents happily accepted Liam into the family without any hesitation. Then the talk about my marking Ceremony came up, and we agreed to hold it on the same night that all Alphas would arrive at the Palace for the conference. It would not only solidify my power as Alpha Queen, but also show the world that I was no weakling.“Work can happen later, right now I want my mate.” Liam growls p
Looking at myself in the mirror, I smooth out the navy-blue cotton dress I am wearing and try to calm my beating heart. Maria had done an incredible job picking out this simple dress and black leather jacket for tonight, pairing the outfit with a pair of black, thigh high boots. My hair was braid
Stepping out of the private jet and onto the airstrip just outside of Frost Moon, I look back to find the warriors or Nightlock Thorn watching me with distain. Isabella had me confined to the guest room after Lilah rejected me yesterday and I spent those twenty-four hours feeling every moment of
Dear Queen Isabella NightlockThank you for writing to me and bringing to my attention the destruction and danger the Shadows have been bringing to your nation. Unfortunately, this is not the first time I have heard of a similar incident as many other nations have been dealing
“Isabella, will you just listen to me?!” Damon Frost demands as I try my best to walk away from the man. However, he blocks my path, his massive body filling the hallway. A meeting with my retainers has just ended, leaving me frustrated with the little progress we were making in findi
