Chapter Sixteen
Jadenne’s Point of View
I hadn’t known who the woman embracing me was until Pierce said mother. This was the Lycan Queen holding me, crying, and apologizing to me. I have no idea why she is telling me that she is sorry, but her embrace is motherly and I am enjoying it. At first I hadn’t returned her embrace because she had taken me by surprise, but I was slightly surprised that my arms had found their own way around her returning the affection. It took a moment before she pulled away, tears still evident on her face.
“Sorry if I have scared you child, but I can see her so clearly in your face.” She softly brought her hand up and caressed my cheek. “I am terribly sorry that I did not look after you myself. When your mother died, I had heard that you were taken in by your family and naturally assumed that you would be loved and cherished.”
Her words finally dawned on me and I couldn’t

Pierce’s Point of ViewI hated leaving Jadenne. I could feel her confusion and hurt through the mate bond. If I was being honest this whole ordeal has me reeling and completely frustrated. Granted I had never really worried about having a mate before, but now that I do all I want to do is protect her, and yet I seem to be failing miserably.“William their treatment of her must be answered for, I demand it.” My mother was standing in front of my father’s desk with her hands on her hips tapping her foot as if he was a pertinent child she caught in the cookie jar. If the entire statement had not been about my mate, I may have found the situation funny.My father sighed deeply sitting in his chair and putting his hands over his face. “Castine sit down please. I understand that you are upset, but right at the moment we have a few situations that need to be discussed.” He was trying to placate her. My mother listened though and sat down and my father filled her in on the information that Em

Jadenne’s Point of ViewWaiting for Pierce felt like an eternity. Felicity tried to keep me occupied but my mind was still reeling from meeting his mother and learning that she was friends with my mother. I had known that my father had strengthen ties with the royal Lycan family and I remember them visiting once when I was young, but the way the Queen spoke was as if she and my mother were very close. I had so many questions, but I wasn’t even sure if it was appropriate for me to ask.For so long I haven’t been able to speak about my parents. When my Uncle assumed the role of Alpha he did not want to hear about my father. People said that it was grief, but as I got older, I always thought it was jealousy. He didn’t like if soldiers mentioned my father, or even his Beta. I was beaten thoroughly if I brought my parents up, either by my Uncle or Julie. My Uncle had removed their photos, my Aunt had redecorated and arranged the house, and before long it was almost as if my parents hadn’t

“Mommy, look at the pretty butterfly.”“Oh, that’s an emerald swallowtail sweetie. Christopher, look at what our daughter has found.” I can hear her voice calling out to my father, but I am enthralled with the beautiful green wings of the delicate creature in front of me.Today is my 10th birthday and my parents always bring me to Century Park to celebrate. The park is one of my favorite places, because there is always something to do or something new to see. I love watching the river from the gazebo and seeing the ducks float lazily along. The people milling about on the walking paths, and the birds flitting through the trees. Even though my parents are the Alpha and Luna of our pack, they always take my birthday as a special day for just us.Out of nowhere, there is a really loud bang, and it immediately catches my attention. I jerk my head around to see my father falling to the ground, my mother rushes to him, but there is another really loud bang and she falls next to him. All at

“Daddy are you sure you sent all of the invitations out? Today has to be perfect, I could find my mate you know.” I had to keep myself from rolling my eyes as I served Julie her breakfast. She was rambling on to her father, my uncle and the Alpha of our pack about how today had to be perfect for her. Jealousy rolled through my body, causing bile to back up into my mouth. Julie and I shared the same birthdate, exactly one year apart. No one cared that my 18th birthdate had come and passed or that today was also my birthday. All attention was firmly on Julie, like always. “Julie, you have nothing to worry about. All the invitations were sent out. The catering was booked, the event center was decorated by the best party planners, and no expense was spared for your special day. In fact, I even sent invitations to the royal lycan family.” My Uncle Robert proudly told Julie.My Aunt and Uncle took me in after my parents were tragically murdered in Century Park. By birthright, since my fath

The events center in Century Park was exquisitely decorated. Alpha had spared no expense in the details. Even the walkway leading up to the doors was carefully crafted to be bathed in soft glowing light. Cascading twinkling lights fell elegantly along the front of the events center building, creating the illusion of stepping into a fairytale. Bittersweet memories floated through my mind as I let myself inside. If my parents were alive, this would be the type of party they would have thrown for me.Shrugging off the thoughts of what could have been, I quickly found the catering staff to ensure that everything was in order. After that, I checked with the event planner, made some last-minute changes to the seating chart, and checked in with some of the other Omegas. After all, we would be the ones helping to serve the visiting pack members. For a brief moment, I wondered if the Lycan family would truly show up.The Lycans are the purest of the wolf shifters. Although we share a lot of si

It took me a few moments to gather myself in the kitchen area. Rage, grief, and fear coursed through my bloodstream with every beat of my heart. It was like losing my parents all over again. Why did the Moon Goddess have to be so cruel? Knowing that Julie was wearing my mother’s jewelry was killing me.The guests soon started to arrive, and the music started vibrating through the event center. People were packing in and eagerly greeting my Uncle in hopes that their sons may be a match with Julie. Making a match with Julie meant that they would have an alliance with our pack. Although fighting amongst packs was rare, there was always the threat of humans, rogues, and other creatures.I, along with the other Omegas, started serving out drinks to the honored guests. We made sure that we kept our eyes downward so as not to offend anyone of ranking. By happenstance, I glanced up and caught Julie’s eye. She smirked at me from across the room as she was showing off the bracelet on her arm t

No one knew that I had even left earlier. Julie was too enthralled with Nathan to realize that I had left my post. She was parading him around to her friends. My Uncle was busy being congratulated on the wonderful match with his daughter, and my aunt was busy talking with the other Alpha’s wives. I was trying to be invisible, but my eyes were searching for the handsome man that had been kind to me outside.My voyeurism was interrupted by loud gasps and then everything got very quiet and the music even stopped. The room was staring at the front entrance doors. The silence was finally broken by a man that looked almost dwarfish in appearance as he stood in front of a rather tall and intimidating-looking man.“Announcing the royal Lycan family.” People around the room bowed their heads in honor of the royal family visiting. Once the moment passed, the music started again and the crowd surged towards the door, eager for a glance at the royals. I had no interest in the royals. I just wante

My body hurt, more than usual. I could hear voices, and I was struggling to open my eyes but my body did not seem to want to comply. I knew that something was not right, but my brain was very foggy. Eventually, I got my eyelids to comply but as soon as I opened my eyes, there was a blinding light and I quickly shut them again. The brightness caused an immediate migraine, and I groaned in pain.“I think she is coming to,” I could hear a man say but the smallest of noise caused the pain in my head to get worse. “I will give her another dose of sedative. I don’t believe that she should be awake yet.” Those were the last words I heard before slipping back into the dark.Pierce’s POVI could not explain how I knew she was in trouble at that party, but I did. Her fear practically choked me and I knew that something was terribly wrong. It did not take long to track her down and I broke that door off the hinges. The sight before me brought on a rage that I had never felt before. Seeing her ly
