A goddess' gift

"Maddy."

My eyes snap open as my name echoes through the air.

I’m back in the packhouse.

Blood stains the wooden floors. The scent of iron clings to the air, thick and suffocating. My father’s lifeless eyes stare at nothing, his body motionless where it fell. My mother’s scream rips through the air—raw, broken—before it’s abruptly silenced. A sickening crack follows, echoing in my ears.

I can’t move.

I can’t breathe.

I watch helplessly as my brother fights, his fury unmatched—but it’s not enough. Tyson intercepts him effortlessly, shoving him back like he’s nothing.

Nothing.

That’s what I am to him.

"Maddy. There you are. I've been looking all over for you."

I turn toward the voice and freeze.

Kira.

Her blonde hair is half-ripped from her head, and a deep claw mark mars her throat where blood won’t stop rushing from. She smiles, but it’s wrong—her once bright, lively eyes are vacant, dull.

I take a step back, my stomach twisting.

"We've got to go. C'mon," she urges

  • The Alpha Queen    Mates 2

    Ariella’s POV(Day of the raid)I hate raids.Not because I can’t fight. Please. I could kill half these rogues with my hands tied behind my back and a heel in my teeth.No, I hate them because they’re loud and messy and smelly.And Luther always makes me ride front and center like I’m a damn parade queen.“Smile for the rogues,” he says as we move through the woods. “Let them see who owns you.”I don’t answer. I just keep my face forward, my eyes sharp and my mind focused on the battle ahead.The wind stinks of wet fur and blood. I can hear the sounds of battle going on on the far end. Luther's warriors are circling the forest perimeter like hungry shadows, waiting for the cue to attack.I already know how this ends. Blood. Screams. A few rogues dead. A few of ours too. Luther pretending it was a clean sweep.It never is.I take a deep breath.And then I smell it.Burnt pine and leather. . .a lot of dirt too.What—My heart skips. My wolf surges so hard, I trip.What the hell was that

  • The Alpha Queen    Mates

    Madeline’s POVRuby’s sitting cross-legged on my bed, picking at the scabbed edge of her healing wound like she’s bored with life.“You know,” she says without looking at me, “you punching Lucian? Kinda hot.”I snort, lying back against my pillows. “That’s what you got from all that chaos? Not the fact that a part of me was scared that Lucian might have ripped my head off? Not the part where Claw was being turned into a pinyata? Not the fact that Elisha looked like he wanted to retire early?”She shrugs. “Please. I’ve seen worse in rogue brothels. Besides, I’ve been dying to punch him for months. You just did the honors. In front of everyone, too. Alpha command and all? That was some bitchy vibe kinda moment.”I try not to smile.Try.But it slips out anyway. A small curve of pride on my lips.Ruby eyes me. “You’re proud.”“I am not.”“You so are.”“Fine,” I roll my eyes. “Maybe a little.”She laughs, then winces and presses a palm to her side.My eyes narrow. “Still hurts?”She pulls

  • The Alpha Queen    A Pack

    Lucian’s POVI’m going to kill someone.No, scratch that.I’m going to rip someone apart, stitch them back together, and kill them again.The punch to the face didn’t even hurt half as much as what came after—the look in her eyes. The command in her voice. The way my body froze like a pathetic mutt waiting for permission.Madeline.My mate.Alpha commanding me in front of my entire clique.I storm down the path toward her quarters like I’ve got a goddamn death wish, fists clenched, eyes burning. Elisha tries to step in front of me—wrong fucking move.“Lucian,” he says, palms up. “You need to chill the hell out.”I shove him hard.“I said move!”He stumbles but stays in front of the door, jaw set. “You don’t get to barge in there like this. You’re not thinking straight.”“I’m perfectly fucking straight!” I growl, stepping up into his space. “Get the fuck out of my way before I throw you through the wall.”“Then do it,” Elisha snaps. “Throw me. But the second you do, she’ll hate you for

  • The Alpha Queen    Power

    Skylar’s POVThe mirror in my room is massive—floor to ceiling, curved edges, and just the right amount of dramatic flair to reflect what I already know:I’m divine.My eyes trail down from my face to the line of my neck to the smooth curves of my body. A smile appears on my lips not because of the way my reflection stares back at me but because everything is going exactly as planned.Luther is breaking.Every rage-filled outburst and time he kicks a hole through his office walls just shows more. The more I whisper poison in his ear, the deeper the madness digs. He thinks he’s in control. He thinks I’m working for him. That I'm his loyal partner and all that bullshit.How cute.But the truth?I’m the match. The chess queen in the game. The damn scriptwriter of this tragic little play.And he? Just a well-dressed pawn who thinks he’s a king.He’ll snap soon—challenge Balthazar. Probably die in under a minute. But the distraction?That’s where the real magic happens.Lucian will see th

  • The Alpha Queen    Furious

    Luther's POV"Argggh!!!" I scream as I punch one of the hunters in the stomach as he doubles over, spitting blood. He falls to his knees and I signal for my guards to raise him back to his feet.I should be celebrating.Should be raising a drink, maybe pacing in front of a fire like a victorious warlord, talking about how I ambushed the infamous Madeline and took her captive.But instead?I’m standing in my office, hiding from the other Alphas who are pissed because I got their members killed, fists clenched, jaw tight, and heart pounding like it wants out of my damn chest.Because I couldn't get her.I couldn't fuckin get Madeline.And I’ve never been more confused—or pissed off—in my life.“What the actual hell was that?” I snarl, kicking the last of the hunters I had hired with enough force to shatter his ribs.One of the guards flinches in the corner. Good. He should.“She wasn’t supposed to have that kind of power,” I mutter, pacing now. My claws twitch at the edge of my fingers.

  • The Alpha Queen    Awake

    Madeline’s POVThe first thing I hear when I wake is someone yelling.No. Not just yelling.Snarling. Growling. Lucian.My eyes snap open and I immediately regret doing so as the brightness of the room hits me, giving me a really mad headache and I immediately feel nauseous.I take deep breaths, trying to calm my body and my pounding head. After a while, it works and I slowly open my eyes. My body still feels like I got body-slammed by a truck or maybe I got struck by lightning. But hey, I’m still alive, aren't I?'Mostly.' Nrah grumbles softly in my head and I'm glad I'm not alone.I try to move my arm. It feels heavy and it feels itchy like hell and when I glance down, there’s a faint red mark where the dart hit. It burns a little.Cute.I turn my head and freeze.Ruby’s sitting by the bed, her face down, hood up. Shoulders stiff. Ruby.“Hey,” I croak.She jumps a little as her eyes finds mine like she’s just realized I’m awake. That's when I notice it.Her eyes are red. The puffy
