Magnus

Midnight.

I slipped away silently, not wanting to wake my sleeping love. The castle still hummed silently with excitement and expectation. Servants rushed by like shadows as I crept down the stairs like a thief. Sleep evaded me even after our rigorous lovemaking. Like a child excited for his birthday, I couldn’t rest. I’ve waited too long for this.

A run would help to rid me of excess energy. Fall was in the nip in the mountain air. The smell of leaves slowly rotting on the wet forest fl

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    The Wedding

    MagnusI couldn’t have asked for a better day for our ceremony. For once, the heavens seemed to favor us. The sky was clear blue, like Erina’s eyes. A perfect fall afternoon, I noticed through the tall windows of our room.“Perfect, my king,” the manservant said while he adjusted my shoulder epaulettes.Dressed in my royal uniform, the white and gold contrasting with my darker complexion, I looked dashing. Even if I may say so myself. Not a hair out of place; boots so shiny I saw my reflection in them. With my ceremonial sword fastened at my side, I was finally ready.Soft classical music drifted up from the courtyard, where our guests waited. I didn’t enter the courtyard at once. Why was I even nervous?I took a few minutes to compose myself and to admire the transformation the courtyard had undergone. Flags with the Von Wolfen sigil stirred in the slight breeze that brought with it a mixed perfume of lilies, roses, and jasmine.Gone was the St. Andrew’s Cross where I had executed Ig

    ErinaI enjoyed watching him squirm. He could deny it all he wanted, but I knew I was right. Serves him right for thinking he was perfect.“Nonsense. It was just a dream.” He pulled me down on top of him. “I am totally committed to you, my love.”“Of course you are.”“So let’s not waste more time,” he purred between kisses. Every touch sent sparks throughout my body. He knew exactly how to distract me.I was the one squirming now. “Magnus, we don’t have time for this.” But I was panting with need. It was shameless how he could ignite this fire in me with just a touch.That dark chuckle said more than words. There would always be time for him, for us. “They cannot start the ceremony without us, my sweet.” His soft lips brushed over my mate mark sending ripples of pleasure to my core. “Besides, didn’t you promise me you’ll be whatever I want you to be in these rooms?” His sultry voice teased. Warm breath on my skin. “Always so wet for me…” fingers spreading me open for him.I gasped int

    MagnusMidnight.I slipped away silently, not wanting to wake my sleeping love. The castle still hummed silently with excitement and expectation. Servants rushed by like shadows as I crept down the stairs like a thief. Sleep evaded me even after our rigorous lovemaking. Like a child excited for his birthday, I couldn’t rest. I’ve waited too long for this.A run would help to rid me of excess energy. Fall was in the nip in the mountain air. The smell of leaves slowly rotting on the wet forest floor invaded my nostrils as I let my beast run free. Before I realized it, I found myself at the entrance to the Temple of Selene. I couldn’t remember the last time I had entered this place. I’ve never been a very devout follower. Not like the elders. That was one of their misgivings. I never worshipped enough. Why would I? I was immortal then. Well, not anymore.I took back my human form and stepped inside.It was colder inside the building. A reverent silence prevailed there. Even the sound of

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    My Insecurities

    ErinaHow many times have I forgiven him for making me feel that I wasn’t enough? This was just history repeating itself with him. I couldn’t stand it any longer. But this time, he was making a fatal mistake. She will be the end of him, of his kingdom and the werewolf kind. I know it as surely as I know myself. How could he be so blind?Maybe their prophecy was wrong. Maybe Sabelle was the one they foretold who would bring about his end. I ran all the way from the war room, fled to the rose garden, needing space, needing air. Needed to get away from the Lycan who still didn’t see my worth. It hurt.The setting sun bled crimson and gold over the rose garden while I followed my shadow down the paved pathways, having no specific place to go. I breathed in their sweet perfume laced with the broody scent of the surrounding forest, letting it wash over my senses to calm my raging emotions. My mind was at war with my heart. The heart and the wolf wanted to run back to him, to the familiar

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    Bitter Distraction

    MagnusThe war room echoed with a rumble of voices. We were discussing Sabelle’s lists. Or, to be more precise, arguing over it. Hein and Eric debated the authenticity. The captains discussed a contingency plan. I didn’t want a war, and I wasn’t a tyrant. But wolves only submitted to the strongest alpha. And I am that.“Where the devil does she get her intel from, anyway? She hasn’t left the castle since you brought her here, Magnus,” Eric argued.I appreciated my brother-in-law’s suspicious nature, but I have had first-hand experience with Sabelle’s dark powers.“She has her ways, Eric,” I replied.Hein frowned deeply, perusing the list. “These packs have never been openly rebellious against you, my king.” His concerned blue eyes searched mine for answers for which I had none. I trusted Hein’s intel. He had his fingers on the pulse of the kingdom, but I had to follow up on Sabelle’s list.“But it’s worth looking into, wouldn’t you say, Commander?” I took the list back. It smelled fai

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    Confronting the Witch

    As luck would have it, I turned a corner and who should I bump into but the bane of my existence. Maybe it was a sign from the goddess. We haven’t seen each other since the day in the throne room when I had left in a huff.“Sabelle.” I forced a smile.“Well, look at you,” she grinned in her cat-like fashion. “Haven’t seen you in a minute. Busy preparing for your ‘great day’, I suppose.” She actually used air quotes much to my annoyance. But I refused to let it get under my skin. Despite being heavily pregnant, she still remained a thing of enigmatic beauty, dangerously so. But reptiles were also kind of beautiful.“Yes. I am. But I need to speak to you.”Her grin widened. “Hmm, sounds serious. Lead the way, Your Grace,” she said, bowing with exaggerated flair.I led the way down the hallway, passing several servants who hid their curious stares by pretending to work. The heady scent of flowers decorating every imaginable nook and cranny of the castle followed us down towards the guestr
