While the black wolf continued to state, Erin sensed no hostility from it but still did, her fur standing on end. As did the wolf on the opposite side of her. Rogues! Had the rogues dared to follow her onto her land without her permission? Good. Very good. But first...Turning backwards, the wolf sauntered towards the small cottages. Once inside the dark place, she looked around carefully. The floor was made of dark marble while the sconces on the walls showed the torches that had once been used to light the place... before there was electricity.Sniffing around, she spotted the lamp and the stones. Changing into her human form, she carefully rubbed the rocks and lit up the lamp and the torches. Soon, the entire cottage glowed with light.The black wolf on the other side of the river let out a loud shown before racing away. Disturbed by the howl, Crystal was distracted for a moment but soon walked deeper into the house.Soon, her hand touched a small ring and she held it. She could
On the morning of her birthday, Crystal woke up in her packhouse alone. But, while last night she had been grateful for the spell that had frozen everything in the past so she did not have to worry about cleaning up, she was really not happy this morning. She wasn't going to be roaming around wearing ceremonial robes. And all the clothing in her room was from when she was a small child. She would have to go about handling the task of hiring people and making them pack to handle the running of the packhouse. Until then... maybe she could steal a few of her mother's clothes. Muttering under her breath about the Moon Goddess not being kind enough to at least return her clothes if not her memories, Crystal quickly dressed in a pair of old jeans and a shirt. She had barely stepped out of the room when she was suddenly assaulted by a scent so delicious that she paid no attention to even the scent of a rogue wolf that came with it. Following the scent, she stepped out onto the porch and look
A little outside of the Snowheart mountains and other werewolf territories was a small hamlet of humans and omegas of the wolf packs who had denounced their packs. Only omegas, whose wolves were the weakest could remain detached from the pack without going crazy for the need to pack. But they would have to remain close to their land. The small hamlet had been established centuries ago as a no wolve's land. Protected by the orders of their own ancestors, no wolves were able to fight on this land. However, this sleepy little town had suddenly received an influx of 'tourists' since late last night. Not knowing if there was something in the air, the humans moved around with wide eyes as powerful men and women discussed the future course of action for themselves. "Hadn't there been rumours about the future Queen dying in a fire that she had set due to going insane?" "Yes. Councilman Holding had been talking about how they were looking for a way to lift the magic of the previous Snowhear
As Holding walked behind the screen to change into his wolf form, Erin watched. Knowing what she knew from her new pack member, she knew he believed she was a weak wolf who was suffering the side effects of Wolfsbane. And seeing the look of anticipation on the other faces, Crystal's smile widened. In no hurry to move, she spoke leisurely," From the looks of your faces, all you need is popcorn and beverages to watch the show. What a show of strength. Powerful wolves who are more than double my age and experience want to watch me fight." Even though the words were spoken with a smile, they sent a chill through the others. For there was no mistaking the underlying anger in those words or the threat. Soon enough, a long sandy coloured wolf stepped from behind the screen snarling at her. Narrowing her eyes, she spoke the words, "To the death.", letting everyone know that this was going to be a challenge until either one died. Just as suddenly, the sound of bones popping was heard and E
Crystal shook her head as she wore the trouser suit that Nate had brought for her with a grimace. She should have used the screen to get rid of the clothes instead of letting them tear off. And now she had to wear these old lady clothes. Walking out she spoke to the man," Are you sure you are young and not some old man? For a young guy, you have the taste of an old man. So, what are they planning?" "Well, you have intimidated them into acknowledging you so now they are thinking up of ways to control your power." "Really? And how do they think they can do that?" "By letting Alpha Blake complete the imprinted mate bond that you started as a child." Crystal scoffed at this. Did they really think that a man could control her? These alphas must be living in the 1400s. Sigh. it was time to help them learn another important life lesson. Shaking her head, she walked back to the large room, only to have it fall silent. "I hope my dear comrades have understood that my sexual organs have no
"Oh, he was born with it Luna. Scared me when I first met him." Nate commented from the side causing her to giggle. Unknown to her, the sound went straight to the man's heart causing him to narrow his eyes at the two. He was jealous. And not just jealous but enough that he was tempted to kill his own brother. Over the last two years when he had not felt much for her, he had assumed that it was because of the emotional disconnect he felt after killing his father. Which was the truth. The day he had killed that horrible man, his feelings seemed to have died with him. He had been lucky that Nate had not expected any show of feelings. And then he had met Crystal. Despite the attraction he felt for her and the feeling of being her mate, he had not felt much more. At least what he had heard one should feel for his mate. There was no possessiveness, no compulsion to be close to her. Just a vague desire to protect her. Keeping that in mind, he had even wondered if Crystal would be able to
While the other wolves begrudgingly shuffled out, Crystal crossed her arms in front of her and cocked her head to the side. But suddenly she stiffened. His enticing male scent seemed to surround her almost blocking her from the others who were still a danger to her. Erin shot to alertness and a low growl escaped her lips as his arms snaked around her and he buried his nose in the crook of her neck and inhaled deeply. His breath seemed to send a whisper of desire through her and goosebumps raised along her skin. With a power that made her breath catch, he turned to her and pulled her even closer. "So, you declare that I will be your chosen mate and I should just accept it, hmm?" The last humming sound was made against her skin and she could feel the vibrations all over her body. But he had asked her a question. "Yes. That is exactly as it should be. You are lucky that you are good looking or else you would be the one splayed on the ground." Crystal whispered, cursing inwardly that
"Councilman Leo. You are the only elder amongst us with the knowledge to process the changes that have occurred in the past twenty-four hours," spoke Alpha Drake of the Pallum Pack. He was one of the youngest Alphas and thus most antsy. He had worked hard to protect his pack from the attacks of rogues and other land-hungry Alphas. With his head down and ears to the ground, he had long been listening to the rumours of the return of the Luna. But his informers had told him that the Luna had turned insane and Blake Bloodshadow, Ace Hunter and Councilman Holding were planning to bring her down even before she obtained power. But now, Holding was dead, Blake had stormed off because she refused to accept him as mate and Ace Hunter was about to become even more potent by joining his forces with the powerful Luna. But what exactly had been happening? And what was the prophecy? All they had heard from the lore was that a wolf would be born to rule them. And Luna Crystal had been born in wolf
