Erina

It was impossible not to despair. Sitting there in the dark on the hard dirt floor of the cell, surrounded by the stench of dust and excrement, I never felt more desperate. I saw no way out for me, and I would go insane if I had to stay there for six months. Elise refused my attempts to reach her, blocking the link. And I had exhausted myself pacing the floor, thinking of ways to escape. I curled up in a corner and struggled to sleep.

‘We wait,’ said the wolf inside my head.

“Wait for what?” I sneered. “I am a prisoner. Magnus won’t come for us. He could be dead for all we know.” I am cursed.

‘He is alive,’ replied the wolf. ‘We will go to him soon.’

“You’re insane.” I tried to shut my mind off, shut her up, but the wolf just mocked me.

When I finally drifted off into restless sleep, dreams haunted me. I was in Magnus’ arms, and he held me close. Whispered words of love in my ear. I woke up crying.

Two muscled guards came the next morning and opened the cell door. Their broa

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    Dining with the Devil

    MagnusWas it magic? Whatever that was, it didn’t come from me. Or it enhanced my power. My beast purred at the back of my mind. It didn’t concern him in the least. Our mate was more than what she realized. There was something ancient and powerful in that mark. I was certain not even Sabelle knew exactly what it was. She was guessing, like the manipulator she was.I wondered if maybe Sabelle woke up some hidden power when she possessed Erina. I was still concerned and pissed off about that. Erina remembered nothing. Completely blank. As if those few moments had never happened. Gisela locked herself in her quarters after that narrow escape, and I haven’t seen or spoken to her since.“You’re quiet.” Erina pulled at my sleeve.We were on our way to the dining room to have dinner with the High Council members and the elders. I wasn’t looking forward to it.“Because I would rather enjoy our dinner alone with you, my sweet.” I’ve had enough condescension for one day. The High Council was fu

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    Magic

    Fritz lifted his head to look pointedly at me. “She is dangerous. Do not forget who her father was. Her purpose was to destroy our kind. And look at her!” He lifted his bound hands. “Sitting there like she has every right! She is there to end the Lycan, to end the werewolf kind. Magnus is no longer fit to rule. She has compromised him!”I felt the wolf stir beneath my skin, hungry for blood. She leered through my eyes at him, all of them watching me, judging me. How dare they look at me like that! The air smelled of distrust and suspicion.Magnus reached for my hand, grounding me. His warmth seeped into my bones, reassuring me through our bond. He had promised to fight for me.“Enough of this bullshit!” Magnus released a surge of his Lycan power. It coiled around the room, forcing the lesser wolves to their knees. “Who is on trial here? Is it me or my mate?” He got to his feet and stepped down the stone steps towards Fritz.The interrogator retreated from Magnus. He looked like a god

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    All Her Fault

    ErinaSo many eyes watched us as I walked next to Magnus into the throne room, which was overfilled with high-ranking wolves and elders. His hand tightened over mine as he led the way up the stone steps to his throne of bones. It still filled me with dismay looking at it and knowing my father and brother’s bones decorated it. Although I knew they deserved it. I forgave them for what they did to me, how they used me to get to Magnus, but it didn’t hurt any less. I meant so little to my father that he had a curse put on me to achieve his goal. Gazing up at his grinning skull at the top of Magnus’ throne, I spoke to him in my thoughts. “Well, Father, I am determined not to be ruled by your curse. I love Magnus, and he loves me, and together we will rule this werewolf kingdom.”I sat next to Magnus on a gilded chair placed there for that purpose. Magnus turned to me with a slight smile ghosting his lips. Reaching for my hand, he whispered his words in private, yet they still carried thro

    MagnusA sleepless night. Worry kept me by her side while she lay unmoving, pale and beautiful. I undressed her gently, leaving her naked and spread out on my bed, in my new suite. The full moon bathed her in silver from the open windows. My goddess. The sight of her made me feel a warmth I hadn't felt in ages.When she collapsed earlier, I thought I had lost her, lost my pup. But I heard his heart fluttering away in her womb. Save. Unharmed.The room I had shared with Elise as my queen for a brief while stayed empty. I couldn’t have Erina in that room. Yes, call me a hypocrite if you want to. Especially after what happened with Sabelle. I hated myself for it. The shame ate me alive. She was my aunt, for fuck’s sake! It was wrong on so many levels. How could I have been so weak letting her seduce me? I promise myself it won’t happen again. Erina deserved better.I cursed Sabelle, knowing she could hear my thoughts and feel my anger through our familial bond, but she stayed silent.Unt

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    Uninvited

    Magnus glared at me as if he couldn’t decide whether to ravage me or shake me.“I have a lot on my plate, Erina! Don’t add to my worries.” He shoved a hand through his thick hair, which now had more streaks of gray in it than a few weeks ago. “Why should you be worried about me, Magnus? You’ve been avoiding me lately. And what could she possibly do to me that wouldn’t harm her as well?” He was hiding something. I was sure of it. Why watch me like some spy, hiding in the shadows?He couldn’t look at me. “I wasn’t avoiding you, Erina. I am busy. The High Council will arrive shortly, and I have been in meetings since dawn. Fritz’s trial is scheduled for tomorrow.”“Surely you have time to have dinner with me, my king?” I’ve missed him. Missed the closeness of his body, the taste of his lips.“Tonight. I promise.” He pulled me in for a quick kiss. “Go rest.” He fondled my baby bump. “You look tired. You need to be strong for the trial.”I touched his cheek. There were deeper grooves etch

    ErinaThe days went by too fast and yet, not fast enough. I hardly saw Magnus. He came in late when I was already asleep and left before I woke. It felt as if he were evading me, but I berated myself for being so needy. He was a busy man. We both were.He was in countless meetings, and I went through do’s and don’ts with the elders. How to sit, how to stand, how to address ranked wolves. What to wear. The lists were endless. Never had I received so much attention from the elders, the servants and the other ranked wolves. They treated me with the necessary respect, but every so often I was gently reminded that I was only there because of Magnus. That I didn’t have any actual worth. Neither as a queen nor as a member of the pack. It didn’t matter that I was growing Magnus’ heir in my womb.I needed to be grateful for every breath I took.Magnus had a designer flown in from Italy to design my wedding dress. The jealous stares, the whispers behind hands, I tried to ignore it, but it was h
