*Axel*
“It’s coming whether or not you want it to,” Angus says from his chair at the other end of the long oak table.
“That is something we can agree on,” I scoff.
“Eat, you will need the strength for the Ultima. If he is going to transform strong wolves, then he will need his own strength.”
I look at the display of various roast meats before me and I have to keep the drool from dribbling down my chin. Never in my life have I wanted for food as badly as I do at this moment. Every part of my stubborn nature wants to throw the food to the ground in defiance, but I know he is right. My body needs the energy. If I have any chance of getting out of here tonight when the moon comes up, then I need to get my strength up.
Reaching out, I reluctantly take a turkey leg, a slice of ham, and a mountain of mashed potatoes. I start to eat civilly, taking a bite and politely chewing unti

A surge of power swells inside of me as my muscles tickle, and I swear I can feel every single one twitching as my clothing grows a little smaller. I close my eyes and breathe through the pressure building in my abdomen as I try to contain it, control it. If I can remain in control for long enough, then maybe, just maybe, this time, it will be different.I have sent every blue moon since my eighteenth birthday hiding from the source of my strength, fighting it off for as long as possible until it outgrew me and took me over. This time I am desperate enough to work with it so I can save the people I care about. If I can channel, or even have some semblance of control over it this time, then perhaps we stand a chance.“Brutus,” Angus calls in the distance as I try to center myself and relax, embracing each wave of power that the moon sends to me.All sounds around me disappear as I find myself swirling in

*Maggie*I stand by the window just staring at the moon, willing it to move faster. The sooner it is up, the sooner I can signal for everyone to attack. I was hoping to see Freddie one more time before the big attack, but he never came back and I’m not sure if I should be worried about it or not. It was never a definite plan, plan, but it would have put my mind at ease.I haven’t seen Adriana since they grabbed me and dragged me down to the dining room with Axel and Angus. I swear I can still feel his filthy lips on mine, and it makes me gag as I turn away from the window to contain myself. A man has never been so repulsive to me before. It’s hilarious how everyone tries to make Axel seem like he is the disgusting one when they are protecting a disgusting leech.I check the moon once more and groan at its defiance. Doesn’t it realize that I need it to do what I want? I impatiently bounce, shaking m

*Axel*Something tugs at my stomach as I try to find my way back out of my mind. I could feel Maggie, and hear her voice when she was talking about Adriana, but it had taken every ounce of my mental abilities to force the mind link to work. And now I am back to being a passenger and only feeling the emotions of the ultima. He is worried for the first time in all the years of being a part of me and I take that as a terrible sign.A low growl rolls through us in a possessive and angry manner and shows how he is letting me back in. I blink through the fog and look down at my strange looking body and around the courtyard from the tree I am perched in. There are hundreds of werewolves here armed with guns that they train on me and fire. My body acts on instinct as it leaps from branch to branch, trying to avoid getting hit.My eyes search frantically for Maggie. I can’t feel her presence any more and part of me thinks that may be a

“What about them?” “Can we have them back?” She asks, stepping forward, looking hopefully at me. I look at Billy and Jacob, who look as confused as I feel. “You are going to have to explain what you mean,” I say flatly. “Alpha Angus has many of our mates locked up, so we would fight. Or do what he wanted us to do… Can we have them back now?” The words get lost in my head as I try to comprehend how much pain they have all been in. Everything makes sense now, why Angus was able to keep a pack when he has no wolf. How they all willingly served him and allowed him to thrive off of their strength for years while he searched for me. “Yes.” I choke out, trying not to think about how terrible life must have been for each and every one of them. “Yes, you may have them back” In unison, every single wolf turns and runs through the mansion in stark silence as they move to free their loved ones from the clutches of the dead man

Maggie sags slightly and grabs hold of my arm tightly, squeezing it. I look down at her and see how pale she looks. Pain is etched on her face and I run my eyes over her, scanning for something that might cause her such pain. Alpha Wade is next to me within a moment, while his mate tends to Adriana. “The cut on her neck looks deep,” he says, bending down and looking closer. Maggie groans, holding her side, and I look down in shock. I had assumed the injury to her abdomen had already healed. Especially since she had been carrying on normally and her throat had been nearly slit. I bend down and gently pick her up, whisking her to the stairs where the lamps afford us better lighting. Maggie groans again in discomfort as I lay her as gently as possible onto the chipped steps. “Sit back Mags, let us look, ok?” She nods. Maggie’s top is drenched in her blood and I slide a glance to Wade, who waits for me to lift the hem of her s

When I feel completely depleted, I reluctantly open my eyes and look down at Maggie who stirring with me. She whimpers in pain and Billy looks up, surprised. “She is waking up.” He tells Dr. Sari, who continues to work stitching up the wound. It’s hard to tell how much better the wound is looking with all the blood, but Maggie’s breathing is even and her clamminess seems to be gone. “I am all set,” Dr. Sari says, snipping the string she used to stitch Ali up. She grabs a clean cloth and gently wipes away the remaining blood, then grabbing a brown liquid, she dabs it on gently. “Did you get it out?” I ask weakly. “Yes. and now I have to see a human patient.” She says, jumping up and walking out the door. “What were you doing?” Billy asks, watching me. “I don’t know. I just reached out for help in calming her down and my wolf helped me.” “It did more than that, Axel. The bullet pushed itself out. Doc
The Alpha's Freakshow Chapter 58
The wolf pounces back, snarling and snapping at my ankles as I dodge every blow. My agility and speed are quicker than I am used to as I lash out and slash at his side. He growls in anger at every missed strike and takes a step back to collect my thoughts. The surprise of this wolf’s eyes has thrown me completely off in a panic. There can’t be two Ultimas. They can’t exist at the same time. It’s never been heard of before. A warm sensation floods through my mind as knowledge of the ultima and what it means somehow fit their way into my mind like puzzle pieces I never knew were missing. Somehow I have answers to all the questions I have ever had about Ultima’s and what they are, what they do. I look at the wolf in front of me with clearer eyes and I understand exactly what is happening. Only one of us can be allowed to live. This fight isn’t about my pack or hatred. This fight is about determining who gets to live the rest of their life.

*Maggie* Billy roars in pain to my right as he tries to get to Andrew, who has disappeared beneath several feral wolves. I have been trying to shake this mangy asshole who just refuses to die for far too long. My pack is losing steam and here I am, playing tag with this guy. Axel is raging at the bond in my mind, trying to break through my mental blockade that I didn’t know I could have. -Maggie would you fucking answer Axel! I’m tired of him in my mind!- Billy says through the mind link. Hesitantly, I lower my mental barriers and lunge for the wolf’s throat, a surge so great it runs through me that the moment my teeth sink into his neck, an audible crack rings through the forest and the wolf goes down. I speed over to Andrew, tearing through the unsuspecting wolves. The remaining one stops its assault and turns its murderous gaze to me. -Axel- I call out. His silence puts fear in my heart. The only thing providing me so
