The Alpha King's Breeder You Owe Me
MaeveThere is nothing I can do but fall. I stretch my arm, trying to summon any power I can siphon from the sliver of moon visible through the clouds. I’m empty and falling at what feels like the speed of light. I’m honestly thankful for the fear and adrenaline buzzing through my veins at the moment because it’s the only thing keeping me from being sucked in a full-blown power-depletion coma. Soren’s arm is ripped from my waist when we breach the trees. He shouts in pain, but his voice is drowned out by snapping branches and rustling leaves as I plummet to the forest floor. I land with a crunch in a thicket of thorn bushes. I’m wearing jeans and a light sweater, but it’s not enough to stop the thorns from shredding into my clothes, piercing my skin as I try to roll out of the bush. “Maeve?” Soren shouts, panting my name somewhere nearby, but I can’t see him. It’s the middle of the night, and without the moonlight to illuminate the forest, I can’t see a damn thing. “MAEVE!”“I’m ri
The Alpha King's Breeder Utterly Useless
MaeveI’m vibrating. I’m lying on my back, but I’m moving… which is strange. I open my eyes to darkness and an unfamiliar room with gray plastic paneling and… handles fixed to the low ceiling. An incessant rattle makes my ears ring. I squeeze my eyes shut and open them again, expecting to be back in bed in Moonrise, in my room, but I’m…. Oh, shit.I sit up, whirling toward the man resting on a bench across from me, his arms tucked around his chest and head leaning on the wall by the tiny window overlooking a dark, never-ending forest. He slowly opens his eyes to slits. He’s holding a plastic butter knife, twisting it between his fingers as he looks at me through this thick, dark lashes. Adrenaline cuts through the power fog weighing me down, but not enough to drag me out of the haze, not yet. I need… I need rest. I need sleep. I need something, something he has, or had. I lick my lips, holding his gaze as I debate my next move, my next words. “I was really looking forward to sleepin
The Alpha King's Breeder One-Way Ticket
SorenSomething’s off. I yank against the knots, ignoring the pain in my body. I have to give credit where credit is due, I suppose, seeing as the two women who tied me up did a fine job of it. I hear a door close and water running, then make my move. Maeve thinks she has the upper hand because she’s a princess, because she’s a witch, but I know she’s more powerful than how she’s acted so far, and that makes me nervous.She could have bound me here using those powers. She could put a ring of fire around me, preventing me from escaping, but she didn’t. There’s something about the moonstone that’s not sitting well with me now, which means I need to go get it before she does. I yank on the ropes until they loosen just a touch, then slam my weight into the chair several times until it starts to break. I grit my teeth, praying that she’s showering and taking her time with it instead of, I don’t know, washing my blood from her hands. Another jerk and the chair begins to snap. A second jer
The Alpha King's Breeder Broken and Bound
MaeveMy back hits soft, cream-colored carpet as the sitting room in my private apartment in the palace materializes. Gloves’s hand is still wrapped around my neck, but his grip is loose. His body is a dead weight pressing mine into the carpet. My vision blurs as pain like I’ve never felt before cascades through me like a waterfall of pure fire. My ribs ache from multiple cracks. My cheeks, jaw, and nose are bruised. My head pounds where his fingers were tangled. I’m sure I’m missing chunks of hair… and I taste, and smell, blood. Lots of blood. Probably mine and his. I suck in a painful breath and shove him off me. My arms tremble against his weight, but I manage to slide him to the side and kick out. Gloves is completely unconscious lying face down on the carpet when I roll onto my hands and knees, gasping for breath he’d stolen from me. I spit blood and tooth fragments onto the carpet, wiping my mouth on the back of my swollen, bruised fingers. I, of course, didn’t think my actio
The Alpha King's Breeder Not a Fair Fight
SorenStorm clouds roll in as I lean on a wooden counter rapping my knuckles against the surface while a pudgy man in grubby clothing inspects the gems. Sapphires, rubies, and emeralds glimmer in the lightbulb swinging over the top of his bald head as he squints through a pair of glasses that make his eyes ten times bigger than they actually are. I glance over my shoulder at the narrow, dimly lit hallway leading back to the heart of a pub in Old Moonrise. This room is a secret, closed off from the public, and open to only a select few. There’re places like this all over Eastonia. We call them Fences here–a place to barter and sell stolen goods without questions being asked. In Crescent Falls, they simply call it the black market. If I had time on my side, I would have traveled there to fetch a better price. Thunder rattles the building, followed by the roar of sheets of heavy rain hitting the tin roof. I glance at my watch. It’s already 3:00 in the morning. “How long is this going
The Alpha King's Breeder Taking It All
SorenI’ve been preparing for this moment. I have one shot, in reality, to do this and succeed. The palace of Moonrise is a fortress–heavily guarded and an absolute maze within, but I’m an expert in my trade, so to speak. The brown delivery uniform doesn't fit well, but it has to work. I try to keep my shoulders relaxed so I don’t burst through the fabric as I hike the steps to the main entrance of the clinic on the far, backside of the palace while the sun sets over the lake in the distance. Music from the festival continues, never ceasing, not in the week since it began. It’s the perfect cover. The chaos in the city square just outside the palace walls has been keeping the guards busy and distracted, which means the clinic is quiet and nearly empty as I skirt inside. A long, circular front desk is manned by only one witch in a starched, white nurse’s uniform. She looks up from a tablet, smiling faintly at me as I move toward the counter, reaching up to adjust the brown ball cap tha
The Alpha King's Breeder He's a Nightmare
MaeveKieran, my two-year-old nephew, is a strange creature. I’m not sure if all toddlers are this way, or just him, but I find it hard to believe that any parent would live through this and decide to have another–and another. It must be hard having so much feral energy packed into such a tiny body, which explains a lot, honestly. His dark, curly hair bounces around his pointed ears as he races down another long corridor, screaming at the top of his lungs just to hear the sound of his own voice. I grimace when he trips on the carpet runner and falls face first, not even bothering to use his hands to save himself. I stand perfectly still several feet behind him, waiting for the wail to begin, but he hops up, teary eyed, and turns to me. “Mama now?”“Mama’s still in her meeting,” I tell him with a sigh. He pouts, those big, hazel eyes welling with alligator tears that slide from his impossibly long lashes. He’s a cute kid, I’ll give him that. Everyone says he’s Logan’s spitting image,
The Alpha King's Breeder Bonus: To Catch a Thief
SorenLight creeps over the wet cobblestone in the inner city. Moonrise is washed in pale gold as the sun sets, the glowing orbs outside each home, each business, light the narrow, ancient streets as the sun's warmth fades beyond the mountains. My boots squelch in the puddles left behind from an epic rainstorm that nearly flooded Old Moonrise, but this city is raised above the lake, safe from the high water. In fact, the pebbled beaches that line the long, turquoise waters are completely submerged now, and rain still patters overhead, pinging off awnings and pouring out of gutters, further soaking the street I’m following uptown. The castle rises into view, its windows shedding light across the more affluent neighborhoods, parks, and shops that surround its massive gates. Impenetrable gates, they say. It’s said that it’s impossible to get into the city-sized palace, and on an average day, I’d believe it. But it’s not an average day by any means, even with the storm still passing o
The Alpha King's Breeder You Don't Have a Choice
MaeveThe grand balcony overlooking the glimmering city of Moonrise spills soft light into the complex and lovely front garden. Beyond the tall, exterior castle walls, the city stretches under a blanket of stars, lights flickering in tune with my own heartbeat. What a day it’s been. I’m not sure how I feel. Relieved that Brie and Kieran are okay? Yes, I feel that. Happy to be an aunt? Of course. Anxious about the future and what it holds for my sister and her son?I look down at my hands as they curl around the railing then sink into a nearby chair and hang my head. Minutes creep by in silence. The entire family is going to be gathering here over the next couple of days to celebrate Brie, Logan, and Kieran, and his safe, but early, arrival into the world. Yet, I feel shockingly alone as I gaze out over the city and the lake, which reflects the stars above like a pool of diamonds. There will come a time when… I’m alone here. I know Grandpa and Grandma mean to move back to Veiled Val
