Hi Readers
For those who have started to read Marly's story, the story has undergone some changes. I encourage you to go back and read the new storyline so you do not miss any tidbits. In working with my editor, we thought this might be a better way to introduce Marly's story. Special thanks to my editor, Hattie - she rocks!
It promises to be an action packed journey and I cannot wait to share it with you.
The first nine chapters will remain free for the short term so if you already paid for chapters, you will not be recharged to start over.
Any problems or quesitons, please reach out. I hope you are enjoying the story so far and I welcome your feedback!

Additional note. you may need to delete the original story and reload to see the new chapters. I didi that and was able to see the revised chapters.
Carson POV I could hardly breathe. Marly was back and looking at me as if nothing had happened. I wanted to reach out and touch her, but I was afraid she would disappear in front of my eyes. “Are you real?” I asked softly. “I am real, and you better get over here and kiss me,” she muttered, as I smiled a smile of relief. I stepped forward, capturing her lips. Marly was back and so were our sparks. She was mine, and I was hers. “Mate,” I whispered against her lips, “Mate,” she replied with a sigh. “You scared me there, sweetheart,” I said to her, as she took my hand. “Scared me more,” she replied, as she gripped my hand. It was as if she had fought a battle to return to me. “How?” I asked, wanting to understand. “The Moon Goddess came to me. She offered me the chance to come back with my powers, but when I did that, I had lost you. So, she came back to me, offering to send me back without my powers. I have no powers, Carson,” she said,
Marly POV I could not make sense of Carson’s anger. Why was he angry to find his mate? “You!” he spit out, as I watched him step towards me. “Me, what?” I asked, waiting for him to say this was a joke and he remembered me. “How could the Princess of the Kingdom be my mate? This must be a joke,” he muttered, as he came to stand beside me. “Princess? What do you mean?” I asked. “Have you hit your head? You are the spoiled Princess of the Kingdom,” he replied, looking away from me in disgust. “I am your mate, Carson,” I replied. “Oh, you remember my name do you Ms. Snooty?” he asked. I was so confused. What had I missed upon returning from the dead? “Carson, I want to be your mate,” I said earnestly, almost begging him to recognize me as his mate. He looked at me, conflicted with what he was seeing to what he believed he knew. “No, nope; I cannot accept this,” he muttered as he walked out of the room, leaving me devastated. W
Marly POV I watch as my body lay there, not responding to anything or anyone in the room. Tears filled my eyes as I watched Carson sob at losing me. I could not contain the tears, as they streaked down my cheeks. I watched the scene unfold before me, shock filling my body as I realized I was lost to this world. All I had ever wanted was a happy ever after. Carson had been that for me. The man who stole my heart when I did not think it was possible for anybody to love me. I watched as he lay beside my cold body. I wanted to reach my hand out to touch him. I wanted to let him know I was here, but I was not here. Not in the literal sense. Is this how I would live my life now? Watching him go through the motions of existing until he found a new love. My heart nearly burst with pain at the thoughts of him looking to a new love the way he had looked at me. I bent over as the pain overwhelmed me. My thoughts destroying what was left.
Carson POV I stand as the doctor rushes from the operating room. “Please come quickly, Alpha,” the doctor requested. I moved quickly, following behind him, as I eagerly look towards seeing Marly up and waiting to see me. “I am very sorry, Alpha,” the doctor is saying, but I have no concept of her words. “What are you sorry for?” I asked, seeking clarification. “I was saying we were unable to save your mate, but I wanted you to see her in her final minutes,” the doctor repeated. “What?!?” I roared as the doctor stepped back in shock. “Take me to her immediately,” I commanded, uncertain how we landed here. “She was alive when we came in; how can she be lost to us now?” I asked, trying to restore calm in my body. I just needed to see Marly and somehow convince her to come back to me. She was not gone. I refused to believe what the doctor was telling me. “Alpha, her injuries were severe. Without her wolf helping to heal her, there was not much
Carson POV “Marly! Hold on!” I yelled as I tried to stop Marly bleeding out in my arms. I had a medic with me who moved forward trying to help as well. “We need to get the Luna to a hospital, Alpha. There is only so much we can do here,” the medic advised me. “What is the good of you being here if you can do nothing to save her?” I raged. I knew I was being unreasonable, but nothing could stop me. Saving Marly was all that I was focused on. “I will call ahead to the nearest hospital to advise we are coming,” the medic replied, not taking my words personally. I ignored him as I kept kissing Marly’s forehead. I took into stock all her injuries. How had she survived? And why was Layla not helping to heal her? I knew she was injured and could not heal herself. Perhaps the injuries were far deeper than I realized. “Kane, can you sense Layla?” I asked my wolf. “No, I cannot; I am worried for both our mates,” he replied sadly. As I
Marly POV A rage overtook me, and I used all my power to push the man away from me. He flew across the room, taking a large chunk of my flesh with him. I had managed to push him off me before he hit bone. Only then would his mark have been permanent. I turned and raced to the door I had entered the room through. Men surrounding me tried to grab me, but using my powers, I was able to toss them aside with little effort. I still had no sound from Layla, but I plunged forward, seeing my escape looming just ahead of me. Just as my hand almost reached the door, out of nowhere came a black wolf, slamming into my side and shoving me into the far wall. I cursed as I hit the wall hard, feeling my arm break with the hit. I needed time to heal the wound. Time was one thing I had none of and without Layla, I was unable to focus on my wounds. My neck was bleeding at a rapid pace, and now I was with a broken arm. I could feel faintness creeping in, but
