Oliver's POV“Olly, your mama is giving us both death glares,” Marlo linked me. “I know. She is pissed about Daisy,” I replied. “Why? That she-wolf is bat shit crazy,” Marlo scoffed. “Daisy surely set her off,” I answered. “I’m glad Karly didn’t act like that,” Marlo laughed. “It’s because she dropped you, fool,” I laughed just as Daisy and Karly walked up.I mentally shook my head. To say Daisy was nearly nineteen she was really immature.“Marlo, Olly,” Karly spoke. “We were wondering if you two wanted to join us for a swim later,” Daisy interjected. “We simply cannot,” I hurriedly said. “Why not?” She asked with an attitude. “Because you keep passing off my mama. I won’t be in the company of any she-wolf that lacks respect for her for no reason at all,” I snapped. “Besides, he doesn’t want to give you false hope,” Marlo interrupted earning a snack from Karly who showed signs of a smirk.Daisy stormed off in a fit of rage. Serves her right. I can’t believe I was so desperate to be wi
Marlo's POVI was in the middle of having a very serious conversation with Tavi until my wolf started berating my thoughts with visuals of Quinn."That's her. We must protect that one. Such a tiny little lamb," my wolf, Mio called out. "You're going to scare her," I groaned. "You're so weak, human," he growled before cutting me off.I shook off my over zealous wolf. My head darted off in the direction Quinn approached. She was beautiful but much too young for me. I was seventeen but I would be eighteen soon enough."Hi," her small voice called out. "Hey, Quinn. How's Tilly?" Tavi asked. "She's awake and asking for you. Please don't tell her about her father. I am certain they most likely had him hung," Quinn replied rubbing a stray tear from her eyes. "I know," Tavi sighed grabbing Olly's hand. "Come on, Quinn," Tavi said but Quinn have her a reassuring bow before sitting next to me.I just sat there afraid to say the wrong thing. I don't want her to assume the wrong thing. She is muc
Lawrence's POV"What's happening to me?" I cried out. "You're the fucking pack doctor and you can't make his pain stop?" my mother, the Queen yelped. "It's the mate bond. Only the Moon Goddess herself can make the pain stop," the pack doctor explained. "It's been three days!" My mother yelled. "His mate must be in some sort of pain," the pack doctor added.This went on for three days until it ceased. I woke up without a fever but with an appetite."Brother!" Violet called out. "Vi, I'm hungry," I managed to say. "Prince Lawrence! I am so sorry for what that bitch did to you! It's all her fault," Violet's best friend, Adelina said sitting at my bedside. "It's a shitty situation. Where is her cowardice father?," I growled setting up. "Near death," Violet said looking down at her nails bored. "Good! I hope I didn't miss all the fun. Where is Tavi?" I angrily asked. "No one has seen her for days. She walked her yellow as through the palace doors this morning," Adelina scoffed. "She had so
Violet's POV"Excuse me. Who's in that carriage?" I asked exasperated. "Who might you he requiring this information?" The warrior asked. "I am Princess Violet of the kingdom of Klaus. You're at my home," I pointed. "O-Oh, my lady. Pleasure to meet your acquaintance," he bowed. "Prince Killian is sleeping, my lady," he informed me. "Let him know that I will see him at supper," I smiled feeling my wolf immediately recognize the scent of our mate.I walked away feeling my wavy blonde hair away from side to side. I marched toward the palace and then to my quarters with confidence."What are you doing, stupid girl? Our mate is right outside and you're hiding in your quarters. What the hell is wrong with you?" my wolf, Vienna growled. "Are you ill? I'm not hiding. I'm simply freshening up for supper. I cannot have him see me in such a sweaty pale state," I snapped back. "Well, hurry it up then!" she huffed."Juniper, Felecia, and Clara!" I called through the mind-link.My handmaidens usuall
Alpha King Lincoln's POV"Is it done?" I asked. "Of course, Alpha," Gamma Felius nodded. "I cannot thank you both enough. My lord, your Queen has lost her mind. Lawrence tried to rape Tilly. I saw it with my own eyes. Put yourselves in Knight Julius' shoes. Now, he is after your daughter, Adelina," Octavia explained. "I understand but Adelina is of age to choose her mate if she has not met him. No offense, your grace but I do not want my daughter to choose Adelina nor him her," Gamma Felius bowed. "No offense taken. Lawrence may be my son but he is not above the law. He will be tried in closed court two days from today. Innocent until proven guilty," I replied truly bothered by what I was hearing. "Nevertheless, I will proceed as instructed, my king," Felius bowed before walking away.My gaze met Octavia's. She looked so roughly vulnerable. Something was wrong."Pup, what is it?" I asked. "This is so wrong! Why do you allow her to get away with such egregious acts? She's gone much too
Oliver's POV"I'm glad you could make it this time," Alpha King Lincoln said stepping out of the shadows. "I cannot keep hiding this from my mama and papa," I replied. "You must. At least for right now. Have you not enjoyed training with me? Learning from me?" He asked. "I have, Alpha. Why now?" I asked. "I have known about you for a very long time, son. You are everything I could have asked for in a son but I sadly did not raise you," he sighed. "Jubilee is a great father. Wait, you have two sons," I stated. "We both know that I have only fathered you, Octavia, and Lance, my youngest. I wasn't certain of this until a couple years ago. I always suspected but I had already fallen in life with them. I care a great deal for them but by blood Lawrence is not my rightful heir, Octavia is," he said catching me off-guard. "Your majesty, they will challenge her for the title. What can I do?" I asked. "That is why I continue to come to you. This place will forever be your safe haven. Not even
Jubilee's POV"Jubilee, she's not here. It's been days since we lost her scent," my best friend Neal said. "Over here!" One of my other men shouted. The remaining five of us ran to see what the fuss was about about. We were met by a wolf I've always known as Gamma Felius alongside with two others I hadn't recognized. My mate spoke highly of him. "Why have you journeyed here? You all know it is dangerous," Gamma Felius warned. "Where have you all done with my mate? She is been missing for days and I tracked her here. We lose her scent right here," I explained. "I assure you that your mate left the same day she came. She should have made it home days ago," he replied. "We have travelled home and back again. She is not there," I said agitated. "Perhaps you missed each other in passing," he reasoned. "I would like an audience with your king," I demanded. They looked amongst each other in disapproval. "After the stir of McKenna's visit I am afraid I cannot permit you inside of the walls of
Lawrence's POV Where are you, my love? I need you. My wolf needs you so badly. I want you by my side when I rule over all the lands. Why have you run from me? I woke from the same nightmare I had every night since Matilda left me. I would see her in my dreams but she stood idol. I would ask her the same questions but she only stared at me and repeated “you hurt me, mate.” In an attempt to wash away those vivid nightmares I spent my days with Adelina a lot more. A few hours later... “Have you slept at all?” Adelina asked meeting me in my quarters. “Not really,” I groggily said. “What if we visited Ellington this weekend? Their orchards has surely blossomed this year from what I am told. We could both use a change in scenery,” Adelina said straddling my waist. “I could use the vacation. We ride in two days time,” I replied claiming her lips with mine. We never mated with each other. She was holding out in hopes to receive her father’s blessing. “I will have Violet help me pack,” s
