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 “What? No!” I said, trying to push myself up. Marly is holding me back from standing, “Carson, please be careful,” she said, as I muttered. “You are taking him nowhere!”, I yelled, trying to convey strength in my voice. “I am sorry, Carson. You are too close to this situation,” the King replied. “And you are not?” I spit back. “Your son has been here for five minutes, and you believe him?” I demanded. Marly gasped at my words. I knew they were harsh, but I could not let them take Elder John from us. He was my advisor. He was on my side. He could not have been the traitor. “If he is so innocent, let Marly touch him,” the Queen suggested. I could now see Elder John’s face and there was a flicker of alarm, before he covered it up. His face was red, and I could see Alex was still choking him, slowly killing him. “Release him!” I commanded, but Alex continued holding his grip. Alex was definitel
Carson POV I watched as the man, Alex, leapt forward and wrapped his hand around the individual’s throat. I was still confused and could not see who had entered, but I heard the growl that came from Alex. He was in fight mode, and was pushing the individual up against the wall, lifting them so their feet were dangling. “Alex, what are you doing?” Marly screamed, as the King pushed both the Queen and Marly behind him. “He is protecting us,” the King replied, as he moved forward to support Alex. I pushed the blankets back, trying to swing my legs over the side of the bed, but it was no use. I could not move. “THEY ARE A TRAITOR!!!” Alex roared as I called for Marly to help me. With all the commotion I could not get her attention. “Alex, you have made a mistake,” Marly insisted, as Alex kept holding the individual. I could hear them gasping for air but I could not do anything to help the situation. I laid back
Marly POV I dragged myself from the bed with Carson and slowly made my way to the door. Alex glanced back and saw me trying to get to him. I tripped and closed my eyes as I prepared to hit the floor only to be caught in what felt like familiar arms. I opened my eyes, and realized I was in Alex’s arms. He had caught me. “I promise you, we can fight him,” I said to him as he helped me stand. The King turned and shut the door, as the four of us stood in the room. “How? You are weak, your mate is in a coma; how do you think we will fight the Rogue King?” he asked, disbelieving what I was saying. “I have special powers,” I said, taking a leap of faith and trusting him. He looked at me skeptically. “What do you mean?” he asked. “As a royal female wolf, I have some powers that I have only learned about,” I shared. Alex looked at me in awe, “He was right. He had said you were special,” he replied. I had a mome
Alex POV “Let me look at her,” I said far more calmly than I felt. I had never attempted to help another before. I had been able to help wounded animals, a fact I kept a secret from the Rogue King. I knew he would mock me, a wolf, for wanting to help animals. The reality was I had known I was different from a young age. I just did not know why. If what Marly was saying was true, I must have inherited this from my parents. The Rogue King has been beating at my barrier ever since we left. I knew he would be furious, but I could not have helped myself, even if I had wanted to. The warriors were strong, and I was in shock with all that I had heard from Marly. I saw her slumped on the floor. I had no idea what to do to help her, so I picked her up in my arms, and simply held her. There was a man standing off to the side, I believed to be their Beta, questioning what I was doing. “I have no idea,” I replied simply. This woman
Marly POV I ran with Jeff and Sarah to the hospital. Many were trying to stop me to express their gratitude that I was home, but I could not stop. I only wanted to see Carson. To see for my own eyes what everyone else was telling me. That I would lose Carson. I felt emotion start to take over, but I stopped it immediately. Carson needed me to be strong, and I would be for both our sakes. Walking into the hospital was a somber experience. Many bowed their heads to me, as I walked past them. Nobody cheered, allowing me to understand the relevance of what I would be facing. Jeff came to stop in front of a hospital room and simply looked me in the eyes. Carson was behind that door and my heart raced at what I would find. But I needed to see for myself what was happening. I slowly pushed open the door, stepped inside the room and closed the door behind me. I leaned against the door for strength, as I lifted my eyes to look at
Marly POV It was almost midnight. The nerves in my stomach were bouncing around, almost making me ill. I had been waiting for what felt like forever, but it had not been that long. I was dressed in a black top, and black leggings which I had found in the drawers full of clothes. My hair was in a tight bun, and I had black sneakers on my feet. I did not know if I would be able to shift into Layla. I had still not heard from her, and I worried something drastic had happened. But I could not focus on that for the moment. Right now, I needed to focus on escaping. As the clock struck midnight, I heard a silent click in my room. I had been holding my breath, waiting for what I did not know. But I followed the sound to the patio door. I looked down and what was once locked, was now unlocked. I looked around outside, looking for whoever had unlocked the door but there was nobody. Was this a trick? Was I being tested by the Rogue
