AXEL >Flashback cont... As dusk approaches, I walk around in front of the female and take a look at her. It is strange as I normally know everyone that has been in my pack or I have been with, but I can never remember who this female is. As soon as dusk hits and every one of my pack members, as well as some visiting Alphas, are present, I announce: “For your crimes against the Royal Pack and the killing of Your Queen, I sentence you to 100 lashes to be carried out by me, King Alpha Axel Wulfric Echethier, with a silver whip covered in wolfbane. You will then be left on display for 24 hours and if you survive that, you will then be executed by ingesting liquid silver. Is there anyone here that objects to this punishment??” As expected, no one steps forward or objects. I walk around her and stand behind her as I hold out my hand. The guard passes me the whip. I take it and everyone gasps as I touch the silver and don’t even flinch. With the images of what she allowed those rogues t
STELLA I can't believe what Axel did to Benjamin but I am now in his world and they do more things the old way, I can't look Benjamin in the eyes whenever he is around as every time he takes his shirt off I am reminded that the scars that now crisscross his back were there because of me. Other than my friendship with Benjamin, everything has returned to normal. Axel surprised and scared me that day. That he could do such a thing to a friend. However, even Benjamin keeps telling me that he deserved it and Axel had every right to do what he did and more. Watching Axel with the pack is something I love doing, but it is so strange that the male I'm with in private is totally different to the male that stands and plays with his pack, then he’s different again if there are visitors or intruders. I don't know if I will ever get used to the difference. Doc Owen told Axel that Benjamin had to stay in the pack hospital for a few days just to make sure that the gashes from the whip didn’t ge
STELLA I hear voices first echoing through the darkness. My head is heavy and achy. I struggle to slowly open my eyes and look around, but I don’t move as I am finally able to start understanding the voices."She is still human... Nora never said and I thought Axel would have changed her by now... Are you sure you still want to do this? If it doesn’t work…" "Even more now that he hasn't... This adds so much more fun and pleasure to my plans and means that she doesn't have a wolf to help fight me." "And the drugs we gave her?"“Even with her still being human, she should be waking soon and I need to know once when she does...” I must have moved even slightly because both voices stopped and faced me. I can’t stop the gasp that leaves my lips as Mason comes into focus. “Oh, look, the chosen one is awake.” He moves over to me and even with the pain that spikes through my head as I go to move away from him; I realise that my hands are tied. He stops and smiles, “Don’t worry Stella, I
STELLA He turns, so he is slightly standing and kneeling on the bed at the same time. He reaches over and grabs for my ankle, but I manage to move it out of the way and kick him in the jaw. Knocking him to the side and allowing me to scramble off the bed. I run over to the door and even though my hands are still bound; I manage to wrap my hands around the handle. I take a surprised, relieved breath in when it opens. However, that relief doesn’t last long, because when I open the door more it is then suddenly forced closed and I can feel him pressed up against my back. A shiver goes through me as he growls low and grabs my upper arms, pulling me from against the door. He turns me and throws me back toward and onto the bed. As he walks back over to the side of the bed, he reaches into and removes something from his pocket. It takes me a moment to realise, as he slides it through his fingers, that it is a small piece of thin rope. Fear runs through me as I don’t know what he is plann
AXEL Stella was just a vision of beauty and even though she doesn’t like being the centre of attention, she just shined as she stood next to me on that makeshift stage. I smile to myself as everything went perfectly, the introduction of Stella, the Alphas accepting her and then us dancing. I didn't miss the stares of shock as I moved around the dance floor with Stella in my arms and the kiss I gave her, shocked even me but I enjoyed every minute of it. I could have kept going, I could have had her dancing around the small pack entertaining room for the rest of the night however I could tell Stella was getting tired, something she wouldn't have to worry about once she completed the change. That was another reason behind the blood I was giving her after her injuries from Benjamin, I haven't stopped as it is custom and law that if the female is not a wolf, she must be changed and the best way to prepare her body for that change is to give her some of our blood. It allows the body to h
WULFRIC I had gathered that there would be no way Mason would have Stella here in rogue territory without coming to an agreement with at least some rogues. I then slowly step out of the trees and approach the cabin, stopping a few feet from the bottom step. "Okay, where is she?" "She is safe for now, in a bit of pain, but safe, nonetheless!" "Mason, what have you done?" "I did want you should have done months ago. I fucked her and initiated the change as I did so... Oh, by the way, the pup she is carrying probably won't survive the drugs we used or the change..." Pup, no, it can't be... It takes a lot for us to get a human pregnant because there is something that just doesn't mix. So, a pregnancy won’t happen unless she has gone through the change, which makes her a wolf, anyway. A human female that can carry a werewolf pregnancy while still human is very rare. There have only been 3 other cases that I know of throughout history and they have all been Alpha Queens. My moth
STELLA All I can feel is pain radiating throughout my body. I don’t know if they came back for more or if they just left me. Even though I'm vaguely sure that I heard Axel’s no, I think it was Wulfric's voice. However, I know that was impossible, as he is not with me. I tried hard to focus on what the rough voice had said, but it seemed to be muffled and then drowned out by this intense sharp pain as one of them bit me again. The pain of the bite was nothing as it was then followed by more of that intense burning. It spread through me even quicker than before, making me feel like I was on fire. It seemed never-ending, so when it finally threatened to take me, I gave in to the darkness that was beckoning and promising peace from the constant pain and burning. I seem to be awake but I’m not. Maybe I'm dreaming. I look around me but there is nothing but black and darkness, and then there is a small white light. I look at it and wonder if that is the way to heaven. I take a small step t
STELLA I started to wonder if they were telling the truth, that before they attacked me, I was pregnant to Axel. Was it still alive or was it killed by the drugs they gave me or during the change? It is then that I feel a small movement, a type of flutter in my lower stomach that scares me a little and makes me step back and lean against the wall of the shower, turning to Selene again. “Is that? Were they telling me the truth?” “Yes, and yes. It is surprising and extremely rare for a human to conceive from a werewolf and even more so for that pup to survive the mother being changed, but she has. She is healthy and will be here in about three weeks.” “A girl! We are having a girl? Does he know?” “Yes, we are having a female and No, he thinks she died during the change, the venom from Mason and his friends did a lot of damage to your body which is why it took us over a week to wake up but it seemed to have left her alone.” “Selene, Mason said something about her being a half-breed?
