Submission II: Twisted Fate (Sequel to Rise of the Bastards)

Essex's POVLex was gone. My little brother was gone. My mother and father were in hiding and the alleged half-sister no one ever mentions sent word that I would be seeing her soon. I needed to tell Tavi of my lineage. Would she think I was an abomination? NO! She would accept me, right? Now was not the time for regrets, secrets, or second thoughts. I just wanted a sensually satisfying night with my mate and my Queen."I don't want to put pressure on you to consummate our marriage. It should have never been this way for us," I said staring Tavi in the eyes. "Essex, although I'm not a fan of being on a timeline, I want to give myself to you. I'm a twenty-year old Alpha Queen by birth right. If I did not desire you in my bed, I wouldn't make it so," she bluntly said. "And what if I refuse?" I asked jokingly. "I'd just order you to free yourself of your clothes as I am doing now," she smirked.I dismissed the fellow wolves who only wished to serve us without hesitation. They were doing

Vincent's POVExecution morning...My traitorous brother, Lincoln and his whore, McKenna strolled in with puffy eyes and chapped lips."You've surely seen better days," I teased. "SHUT UP!" Lincoln boomed. "Tisk! Tisk, big brother. Are we angry?" I laughed. "We both know what he's trying to do. The rodent isn't worth it," Mckenna waved dismissively turning to talk to one of the warriors. "You better listen to your lady. After all, she's yours now, thanks to me," I reminded him.McKenna was now the one who charged my cell. Imagine my surprise when the guard unlocked my cage and allowed her to come inside. She kicked me so hard in the guy my soul left my body. It got worse when Lincoln followed by punching me across the face. I fell to my knees huffing from a lack of oxygen. I became dizzy but eventually gained my voice."This is no fair, brother. UNCHAIN ME!" I demanded. "You are a prisoner here! You have no stolen valor you call power here!" My brother said stepping aside allowing Mc

Lawrence's POVSweat loomed over my flesh and heat rose to my cheeks. Danger approached but was paralyzed to my stance."NO!" I shouted waking myself from a long slumber.I awoke to an aching pain in my abdomen. Where the hell was I? It was dark and the sound of water drains could be heard."Oh, you're awake?" I heard someone say. "Do you remember me?" the she-wolf asked. "Karly?" I croaked. "Yes, I'm a friend of your fathers. I helped you here. No one would ever find us here," she smiled damping a wet towel on my forehead. "Why did you help me?" I asked. "It seems your father would no longer be around to be king of the rogues. Who better to replace him than his blood son?" Karly asked. "Where are we?" I asked struggling to sit up.I took in Karly's short stature eye and curvy figure. Her eyes and skin glowed under the moonlight and her hair pulled tightly in a braid. I was no doubt attracted to her, but she couldn't hold a candle to Matilda or Adelina. However, she was gorgeous in an

McKenna's POVThe crowd was roaring Lincoln's name and those that were not, a Galatea Guardian strategically placed themselves behind them unbeknownst to them. We knew Vincent had loyal patrons lurking in the kingdom and now we left it to them to reveal themselves even if they didn't know it."You're going to regret this," Vincent snarled walking past me. "FUCK. OFF!" I growled in his face. "Careful, I wouldn't want to kill you before I have you watch Lincoln fall to his knees without a head," he laughed. "Besides, you've seen better days. Maybe when I'm done with him, I'll take you on as one of my least favorite whores. I'll be sure to pass you around to my fellow warriors," he said seductively biting his lips. "You aren't even a living wolf. I am certain you were created in error," I said bored. "You cunt! You have no mind to know anything! It is you who has clawed her way into my family's space. Sorry bastard whore!" He shouted. "Yet, I am not the one my parents fear for killing my

Jamela's POV The sounds of broken necks, screams, and blood splatter finally ceded from Vincent's followers. It's still early, but we rode for Klaus as planned. After executing all of Vincent's followers, we became less skeptical about those that chose to pledge their allegiance to the crown. "Are you going to be okay?" McKenna asked me seeming refreshed. "Y-yeah. I am ready to face my father," I replied. "Olly will kill him if he harms you or refuses to surrender," she reminded me. "He won't have to. I'll do what must be done," I sighed. "It may not be as easy as you believe it to be," she said cocking an eyebrow. "What about you? I heard what Elena said to you about Jubilee. Does it help?" I asked and she smiled. "Nothing could erase the heartache. If fear it will always be there, but I do feel slightly better," she answered. "I don't know much about Jubilee," I said aloud. "Well, he's the bastard son of a Beta. It wasn't until our third eclipse together before I learned of his l
