Madeline’s POV

I startle awake, my body sweaty and my chest rising and falling hard.

When will I get over this nightmare?

I stand from the bed and walk over to the bathroom to wash my face, then towards the door, expecting to find Elisha banging on it like a damn maniac.

But there's no one there.

No sarcastic commentary. No forced meditation. No awkwardly cheery “let’s not die today” pep talk.

Just… silence.

I shut the door with a groan. The ache in my muscles from yesterday’s spar is still there but it’s not much of a discomfort. I sit back on my bed, rubbing my eyes and waiting for Elisha to barge in st any moment but he doesn't.

Getting tired of waiting, I remove my sleeping garments, putting on the black pants and a fitted top they gave me. It smells faintly of smoke. I lace up the boots and step out of the room.

  • The Alpha Queen    Hunters

    Lucian’s POVEverything in the office is choking. The air seems stale and I suddenly have the sudden urge to be outside. "Fuck you, Livia." Muttering under my breath, I wipe my sweaty face. That honestly shouldn't have happened. I really shouldn't have indulged her. Forgetting the fact that she was one manipulative bitch, I should have not given her what she wanted. Now, I have to watch my back and Madeline's back cause Livia isn't one to forgive so easily.I throw my shirt on my chair as I walk towards the door, stepping outside and locking it behind me.Taking a deep breath, I try to find solace and peace but it's just irritation and guilt. I have always wanted a mate and now that I have one—even though she doesn't qualify as one— she's still mate and cheating seemed. . .bad.‘Canis,’ I call out to my wolf, trying not to sound as defeated as I feel. ‘What do you say? We run?’Silence.That’s how I know he’s angry.He doesn’t sulk like some dramatic soap wolf. No. Canis goes quie

  • The Alpha Queen    Spies

    Lucian’s POV“The spy’s confirmed,” Elisha says as he flops down on a chair. “Came in through the eastern trail—one of the old hunting paths near the collapsed ridge. Used a scent-blocker, almost passed through unnoticed.”My office is barely lit but for the lamp on my table. There are plies of papers spread across my desk—maps, reports, hastily written updates from spies or allies. Elisha rocks his chair back and forth, producing a creaking noise, as he rubs his eyes. Rock’s leaning against the wall, a tired look on his face as he twirls a dagger in his fingers. I haven’t slept, none of us have. And we might probably not anytime soon knowing we're close to war.“But he didn’t—couldn't. We're too good for that.” Rock adds, voice a gravelly growl. “It took two punches and one death glare from Elisha to spill his guts. Not metaphorically. He puked on the floor too.”I nod slowly, flipping through the handwritten confessions. “Who sent him?”“Tyson,” Elisha says. “Shadow Moon insignia

  • The Alpha Queen    Lucian

    Skylar’s POV“Strip,” I say with a smirk on my face.Jex's mouth curls into a grin. He's always wanted this. Everyone has always wanted this. A chance to taste a part of my body but I'd deny them every single time.Not because they were ugly or weak. Most of them would kill a hundred wolves and not feel a thing. But they weren't what I want.I want something—or someone—that does not want me. That is not how things are with me. I always get what I want. Always.But for now, I guess I'll settle with something else. Jex slowly peeled his shirt off to reveal hard muscles and packed abs. His golden brown skin glistened in the light coming from a lamp on the far end of the tent. His blond hair fell over his face, covering one side. He was perfect. . . For some.Not me.I feel my panties start to get wet as he pulls down his shorts revealing his hardened cock. It has to be more than six feet. It is wet at the tip and I lick my lips at the sight of veins around it. He really is perfect. But

  • The Alpha Queen    A Second Chance

    Madeline's POV"Madeline," I familiar voice whispered in my ears as the owner shook me awake. "Madeline, it's time to wake up. He's coming." Opened my eyes to see a bloodstained Maggie in front of me. Bloodied and bruised, my helper's face hovers above mine, her usually vibrant eyes clouded with pain. I jump from the sight of her and trip on something behind me. Or someone.My back hit the ground hard, but that wasn’t what made my breath hitch.It was the sight of the lifeless body beside me.“Ken…” I whispered, staring into his vacant, glassy eyes. His mouth was slightly open like he had been trying to say something before—Something yanked my hair tight, dragging my head back violently.“What the—”“There you are, mate.” That voice.I went still.Tyson.His voice stills my movement, maybe my heart too. It feels like something is walking down my spine. "I've been looking for you. You thought you could run from me?" He laughs behind me and I'm paralyzed. "You want to see what we did

  • The Alpha Queen    Claimed

    Lucian's POVWe stare at each other for the longest of time, no one saying anything. The only sound coming from the last of the rain dropping on the roof.“I’d like to know everything,” I finally say as I drag a chair close and I sit with my arms folded. My voice is calm. I try not to come off as threatening, but let’s be honest—I doubt I'm less of a threat to her. She basically just called down lightning.She inhales deeply and begins. “It started with me waking up to find that I had a mate.”My brow arches. Not what I expected, but I keep my expression neutral. Questions later. Always later.“His name is Tyson Maxwell. His father was Alpha of the Shadow Moon Pack—”“—Was.” I interrupt before I can stop myself.She squints at me in confusion, and I lick my lips, maybe a little slower than I should. Gods, she’s pretty. Even angry. Especially angry.I clear my throat, shaking the thought off. Focus, Lucian. She could literally smite you with a blink. “I mean, Tyson Maxwell. His father
