Magnus

What on earth was I saying? I couldn’t let Erina mark me. I pushed back my Lycan with a tremendous effort. The beast was melting in her hands, ready to lay himself at her feet. “You are the only one that wears my mark. Let that be enough. It’s all I can give you, Erina. Please don’t ask me for more than that.” My hands on her shoulders ached to pull her closer to my chest, but I dared not give her what she asked for -my heart.

She blinked and pulled away. “Forget what I said. It must have been the drink.”

My fur coat slipped down her shoulders, and she walked away, leaving it in the snow. I stooped to pick it up.

“Erina! Don’t walk away from me.” Why did I sound so desperate?

She stopped, and I reached her, stood behind her. I didn’t want her to turn around. Didn’t want to see the hurt in her eyes.

“What do you want from me, Master?” she asked, her voice trembling as she turned around. “I belong to you, but you… you belong to no one. You are selfish. Or are you a coward?” She h

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    Under her Spell

    MagnusI fell into darkness, unending night. No matter how I tried to stop myself, grabbing onto passing things, images that had no substance, flitting like smoke through my fingers, I kept on falling further. I screamed out, and it was her name that was repeated on my lips. Erina. Erina. My salvation.A sound, a laugh… It echoed through my mind. “Nothing but a lost puppy…”I crashed to the bottom of whatever hell it was. Breath left my body in a painful gasp, like I’d been drowning and abruptly pulled out by my hair.“Gaah!” My eyes flew open, searching for focus. I tried to sit up, but my body might as well have been stone. I couldn’t move.“Welcome back. Did you enjoy your little trip?” I heard her voice, the Dark Witch, but couldn’t see her.“Where are you, you demon bitch? What have you done to me?” Fritz was a dead wolf. I will end his entire pack. He will pay for his disloyalty, but if he touches Erina, I will flay him alive.“Tut, tut, Lycan. No use exhausting yourself with th

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    A Price

    The horrified screams. Desperate cries. It all floated down to me where I crouched in the cell. My lips moved in silent prayer, hoping that Elise was somewhere safe. That she would come rushing down the stairs and free me. “Magnus, if you could hear me… please be alive. Please…” If only I could shift into my wolf.Patience, the wolf snarled at me. We await our time. “We don’t have time! They will kill us.” I was close to losing my mind. Was this the end for us?So this was the prophecy come true then? I was the instrument of death for the Lycan. God, I didn’t want this. No matter how much I sometimes hated him. He was mine, and I was his. Was this love? This conflicted emotion. The fine line between love and hate. I didn't understand it, but I knew I couldn't live without him. “I don’t want to live in a world without you.” That’s what he said a long time ago. Only now it was I that felt this way.We wait, the wolf insisted.Praying was useless. Crying even more so. I wiped my cheek

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    Prisoner

    ErinaThe guards took me to the holding cells in the basement of the pack house.“You are finally going to hang, huntress,” the guard who held me snarled in my ear. “The king should have dealt with you long ago. You’ll never be one of us.”“Once we’re rid of you, we’ll kill your siblings too,” the other one said. He opened the rusty cell door and shoved me inside. It clanged shut in my face.I grabbed onto the iron bars and glared at them, committing their faces to memory. “You’re deluding yourselves. It will be your heads on a pike outside the castle gates for what you have done. I am the mother of his heir.” I held my head high, seemingly undisturbed by what happened, but inside I was a shivering mess. What if he believed I had tried to kill her? I should have expected she’d try something like this.“You are nothing but a cheap whore,” the other guard laughed and spat at my feet. They made obscene gestures, and I turned to face the wall. Eventually they left, laughing and making lew

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    Betrayed

    MagnusWe’ve been driving for hours. Fritz gave the driver instructions, and we went off the tar road, up a gravel path until the car could no longer move forward.“We’ll have to go on foot, Magnus and I’m afraid we won’t be able to take your security detail with us. The witch won’t show herself if she feels threatened.”“And seeing an alpha male and a Lycan won’t make her feel threatened?” Sounds ridiculous. “She’s expecting us,” he said, his tone serious.The beast inside felt uneasy. Like something wasn’t quite right. There was a heaviness in the air, a stillness that was unnatural. No birdsong, no wind. Only the trees rising into the silent blue sky. We trudged up a rocky hill to a narrow opening in the mountain that could hardly be considered a cave.“Through there,” Fritz pointed.“We’ll never fit through that crevice,” I said. We were both muscular, big-boned wolves.“Not in this form.” He began removing his clothes, and I did the same.“It’ll still be a tight squeeze.” I hate

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    Elise's Revenge

    ErinaI dressed in a light cotton dress and had just finished when there was a light rap on the adjoining door, and I went to unlock it. Elise stood in the doorway, the air thick with the lingering scent of her perfume and hair products, her servants still bustling inside the bedroom.“My, my...” she drawled. Her voice irked my nerves. “Yes,” she said, looking me up and down. “I think you need someone to help you get ready. Rachel, please help Erina with her hair, and a little makeup couldn’t hurt.”I bristled, the words like a biting wind. “I don’t need anyone fussing over me, thank you.”“But you look so pale, washed out,” she said, her tone as sweet as honey. “Doesn’t she, girls?” A chorus of giggles answered. “Didn’t you sleep at all? I slept like a baby in the king’s arms.” “You don’t have to gloat, Elise,” I retorted, my words sharp. “If I hadn’t locked the door, he would have slept in my bed.”I saw the smug expression on her face melt. “Ugh, you’re ugly when you’re jealous, E

    MagnusErina had locked the adjoining door, knowing I wouldn’t break it down. If it were my house, I would have. I rested my head against the door, listening for movement on the other side, pulling away only when Elise came out of the bathroom freshly showered and pampered. At least she didn’t need the servants around for that. But if it made her happy, I would let her have them.“I thought you would join me in the bathroom, Magnus. Can you at least sleep next to me tonight?” It was impossible to say no to her when she looked at me with her heart in her eyes. I should feel guilty for using her like that.“Of course.” I kissed her forehead on my way to the bathroom to wash away the haunting thoughts that tortured me. Watching Erina through the flames, dancing and laughing, swaying her hips to the rhythm of the guitars, like a gypsy. I wished we could always be like that, carefree, only me and her. But it was a pleasant dream. Dreams end when you wake up.Elise was still awake when I cl
