[Serenity’s POV]

I stare at the large red wolf in front of me with glowing amber eyes. It is magnificent and nothing like I’ve seen, but it is the size that takes me by surprise the most.

Wasn’t Maverick supposed to be the son of villagers? Wouldn’t that mean that he would be normal-sized and not the same size as me when I was in wolf form?

It was interesting indeed to see this and to take it in, as I find myself wondering if maybe there was more to Maverick’s background than even he knew.

  • The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.   Another Way

    [Elise’s POV]I grow quiet and wait while Tristan and Jolene stare at me. From the looks on their faces, it is clear that they are confused about what it is that I am asking.“The crone,” I repeat, wondering if I mispronounced or stuttered. “Do either of you know anything about a crone?”“The crone,” Tristan says slowly. “Is the old wise witch. Some consider her the mother of the witches, but she is nothing more than an elder who holds knowledge of all.”Nodding, I take in what Tristan is telling me while wondering why that woman who called herself my mother would suggest I look for such a person.“Why are you asking?” Tristan asks. “Do you have business with the crone?”“Maybe,” I admit. “Do you know how to find her?”Knowing about her was one thing, but knowing where to locate her, was something else entirely, and honestly, if he didn’t know where to find her then I still didn’t have much to go on.Like you have anything. The small voice in the back of my head tells me. You don’t ev

  • The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.   The Crone

    [Elise’s POV]I stand in place, confusion, fear, and something so much deeper rushing through me as I watch Tristan try to get Denali to wake up.“Is she…” I whisper, and Tristan shoots me a look.“Please, just do as I asked you.”For a moment I don’t move. It’s like my feet are rooted to the floor, but when Tristan gives me a look of desperation, I finally turn and begin to head toward the room’s exit.“Jolene,” I murmur when I reach the hall. “Where would Jolene be…”Honestly, I didn’t know her well enough to know where she would hang out aside from…“Infirmary.” I announce, turning and beelining for that place. “Please be there.” I mutter, moving as quickly as I can. “Please….Jolene!” I gasp as I burst into the infirmary and with luck I find her sitting at her desk.“Elise?”“Jolene!” I hiss, rushing forward and grabbing her hand. “Please! You have to come with me now.”“What’s wrong?” Jolene asks, jumping up from her place. “What’s going on?”I don’t respond to her question, inste

  • The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.   Shattering Soul

    [Maverick’s POV]‘Stay with me.’I keep repeating these three words as Serenity’s mouth moves, ripping the skin from where she has managed to get ahold of me.‘Just stay with me.’‘I can’t…’ She murmurs and I can almost feel her very essence disappearing.‘SERENITY!’ I roar, but with each passing minute she becomes fainter and fainter and then it’s almost like a candle being extinguished as her essence disappears completely and I’m left with nothing but this puppet I’m fighting. ‘SERENITY!’ I repeat, again and again, but with each passing minute I’m met with nothing but silence.“Sorry,” Ellie laughs as the wolf that is no longer Serenity jumps on me. “It seems that she was spiritually weaker than I thought.”She wasn’t. I counter silently. She isn’t. You’re the reason she isn’t here.I’m going to fucking kill her. This only promise continues to spur me, making me fight with everything that I am and when what sounds almost like a stampede starts approaching, I feel a wave of relief. H

  • The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.   Breaking

    [Maverick’s POV]I stare at the woman in front of me, my gaze never leaving her. She’s smiling and by her expression, you would think that she has already won.I won’t let that happen. I mutter inwardly. I won’t let her get away with everything she has done to Serenity and her family. Even if it fucking kills me, I’m going to make her pay.“What?” Ellie asks, breaking the silence that has fallen around us. “Wolf got your tongue?”I bare my teeth because she knows damn well what is happening, but it seems she can’t resist the urge to taunt me.Come on. I hiss at my body that isn’t doing what I want. Break free of this hold and help Serenity!I look in the direction of the woman in question and I see her fighting for dominance against William and to my shock, it seems like she may be winning.‘Serenity,’ I call again. ‘You can’t let them win.’‘Maverick,’ she whimpers, her desperation radiating through me. ‘I can’t…’‘You can!’ I counter. ‘You can’t…’I don’t finish my words as what fee

  • The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.   What She Really Is

    [Maverick’s POV]That’s an issue for later.This is the only thought I have as I once again focus on the fighting around me because right now, the only thing that was important was getting to Serenity.Shaking off my unease about the human enemy, I continue to fight.I take out anyone who dares come anywhere near me and when I finally finish, I scan the area around me.Despite our best efforts, there are a few of my men who were hit by the blood bullets and were now human.‘Take them out of here.’ I order through mindlink.‘What about you?’ One of my men asks. ‘What are you…’‘I’m going forward.’ I respond, because it is the most obvious move. ‘I can handle things from here.’Growing quiet, I wait for opposition, but when it doesn’t come, I know that those who managed to not lose their wolves are going to do what needs to be done.Satisfied, I watch as they shift back into their human forms and once they start helping the others go back in the direction we came from, I turn my attenti

  • The Alpha Princess' Bodyguard.   Against Those Who Trust Me

    [Serenity’s POV]It’s like I’m on autopilot as I move, following Ellie out of the room and in the direction that I’m certain my allies are in and when I hear the growls and the sound of struggle, I try desperately to regain control olf myself.However, it is useless.There isn’t even the slightest bit of control left in me and even Mahogany seems unable to take control of our body like she would in the past.‘What do we do?’ She asks as we grow closer.‘I don’t know.’No matter how much I fought, I couldn’t stop my body from moving forward, following Ellie like she was my damn master.When I broke free of her hold, I would make sure to rip her to shreds for using my grandmother’s image to trick me.But is she the only one to blame?This single thoughts hits as I hear a growl rip through the air and as we round the corner, I see Uncle William and his men standing there.They are in their wolf form, but I would recognize him anywhere because he looks so similar to my own father.Dad.In

    [Serenity’s POV]I stand with Maverick while Tyrone and Trinity stare at us curiously. In the moment, I almost wish that I could be the twins since they’re not involved in any of this mess aside from being wolves who are now humans because of me.“Mates, huh.” Uncle William chuckles, drawing my gaze t

    [Elise’s POV]“Faking being mates, huh?”I let a giggle escape me as I slowly rose off the toilet that I’m sitting on.‘Don’t you know eavesdropping is wrong?’ Anna sighs, though she seems just as interested in what is happening between Serenity and Maverick as I am.‘I wasn’t eavesdropping.’ I point ou
