Luke’s POV

Light streamed through the curtains and woke me to silence. It was the kind of silence that felt unnatural.

The last thing I remembered was not being able to move. Irene had been crying over me.

I thought back to the first time I found her. She was only a girl. Her father tried to barter her away to pay off his debt to me.

I brought her to the castle and told her she was not a captive. I told her she was free to leave if she wanted to. But she stayed.

She has served me for thirty years. My most loyal servant. People like her are rare, so I kept her.

I lay staring at the ceiling until I felt breath against my arm.

Joyce.

She was curled in a ball at the side of my bed. Her hair flung wide as if it could set fire to the room. Her face was buried against my side. Her right hand folded between us. Her left hand draped across my abdomen.

Her breathing was steady. Gentle, as though she had just slipped into a dream.

I reached and stroked her hair, praying the touch would not wake

  • THE BILLIONAIRE WEREWOLF AND HIS DAMSEL IN DISTRESS   Forgotten?

    “ No Irene, I'm not giving Jaigan the benefit of a doubt.” I said wheezing as Irene tightened my corset till I could feel the metal squeeze my ribs. “ And do I really have to wear this?” “ That's not what I meant, little mistress.” She said, ignoring my question. “Lady lupita has no reason to connive with Magistrate Cynthia so Desmond would win and Master Luke would forfeit the game.” “ And that's where you are wrong, my little birdie. Lupita has every reason. Number one—she hates me. Letting Desmond win would mean that he gets to take me away forever. An idea I'm sure she would be very happy with. Number two—she wants the Elderman legacy to go back to the way it was. She would hundred percent drug Luke if it meant she would get her way. Number three— she's super close with Cynthia. They're the only two female Alphas in the world. You would think Lupita would know what Cynthia would and wouldn't do, Hun?” I held on to the railings of my bed as she finished tying the strings of the

    “ What did you do to him?” Lupita said as she walked into Luke's room with Anthony, Marlowe and Kanos. After shaking, yelling and begging Luke to wake up, when he collapsed, I checked his pulse and when I realized he was still breathing, I ran to Marlowe's office for help. “I didn't do anything! He was standing there,” I pointed to the spot. “ And then I gave him some tea…” “ Tea?” Kanos said from the window side. “ Yes! I gave him tea, he drank it…” “ What was in the tea that you gave him?” Kanos asked again, his jaw tightening. He was chief of security for the castle and was in charge of making sure nothing bad happened in the Castle. Marlowe finally did the same thing I had done earlier, checking Luke's pulse to see if he was still alive. “ Why do I smell Hyoscine ” Lupita said as she pushed past me to smell the kettle of tea. “ Did you give him Hyoscine?” She asked. “ I don't even know what that is—” I started to defend myself. “ Bull! You gave him Hyoscine and masked i

    “ Surrender.” I said, pointing an unsheathed sword at Nael who laid on the hard floor sprawled in pain. “Cut him! A little jab should do.” Lupita said with her eyes hooded with a dangerous intent. “ What?” “ Cut him. He'll heal, he won't die. This looks more child's play than it does training for battle. The one Jaigan will bring up in this family if God forbid his son doesn't win the game of Druskell—” Lupita said before Luke cut in. “ That's enough for one day.” “ You need to prepare your human, little brother, or she'll never understand. She has lived a shielded life up until now.” “ That's enough luv.” Charming Anthony said. Lupita scoffed, looked around at her brother, her father and her husband like they were the ones who were raving mad and spewing nonsense. She stormed out of the dojo and Anthony followed in her trail, but not before saluting me. *** Luke's PovKnock knock “ Who's ther—” The door creaked open and Lupita entered the room like it was still hers after

  • THE BILLIONAIRE WEREWOLF AND HIS DAMSEL IN DISTRESS   The Game of Echoes

    “ The next game is called the game of Echoes.” Luke announced, standing on the makeshift ring where the five used to practice fighting. “Each competitor will go through the East portal which leads to the world of the hollows. For the sake of those who do not know,” he continued. “ Hollows are phantoms that can see guilt, pain, rage, jealousy, and envy. They can also materialize into your greatest fears, your deepest desires and the things that haunt you when you sleep.The five competitors will go through the portal carrying a Zuan candle. They are to travel across the Maze of Moreh carrying the candle until they find their way back to this world. As you know, the Zuan candle doesn't go out, so the competitors have a light to scare away the Hollows.” Luke said. “ And what happens if the candle goes out.” Lupita said. “ The game seems too easy, no?” “ Like I said, the Zuan candle is no ordinary candle. It can only go out if the person who is holding it starts to feel fear, grief, or

  • THE BILLIONAIRE WEREWOLF AND HIS DAMSEL IN DISTRESS   Lupita Elderman

    The castle was quiet two days after five competitors came back with replicas of me. Prince Moherm of Dorian unfortunately was the only one that didn't make it back. He had failed the test. The news sunk my soul. He lost because he didn't describe me well enough? “ That's such a stupid rule!” I said in Cynthia's room, sipping tea that was excellently brewed. During the first game, we had become friends, or at least I had forced her to be my friend by talking endlessly to her about everything. “ I'm sorry, that's the law. The games have been going on for centuries Joyce, do you really think I can just call it off? And to be fair, everybody knows it's ridiculous, but they still do it either way.” she said sitting across from me, sipping tea from an antique cup identical to mine. “ Ugh. Why are they so dumb then. Why can't they just go away like the seven princes did earlier. I don't want people to die for me.” I said, sulking in my chair. “ Oh honey, they're not dying for you,

  • THE BILLIONAIRE WEREWOLF AND HIS DAMSEL IN DISTRESS   The Game of Mirrors

    “ The first game is called the game of mirrors.” Nael yelled from across the field. Earlier that morning, I woke up feeling uncomfortable than usual. Maybe it was because the day of the first game had finally come, or maybe it was because I was under the same roof with my mother's murderer who threatened to murder me too. I complained to Luke, and he gave Nael permission to take me to the valley of lilies before the game. “ What will the competitors be doing? What's it about.” I asked as I plucked some lilies into a basket Irene had woven for me. “ You came through the Northern portal when you first got here.” He started with a tinge in his voice that said he loved telling stories. “ All the portals of the human world lead to the northern portal. For today's game, they'll be using the Southern portal which leads to the world of shapshifters.” “ Like werewolves?” I asked. “ No, not like werewolves. We call them sifts. It's a dumb name, but they can't transform into wolves, but i
