Magnus

Finding a soulmate was rare. Choosing one was easier. But there was something magical in watching two souls find each other. That spark, the connection between them. It happened to a few of my guests, and I gladly gave them my blessings. At least the ball was a success. Brigitte found herself a suitable mate. Vasi had two males vying for her attention. That left Hanna. I haven’t seen her at all.

My eyes wandered across the tables and dance floor before I saw Hein and Daphne at a table in

  • 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

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    A Dress for a Queen

    ErinaI was late for my dress fitting. When I tried to apologize to the tailor, she stopped me, smiling.“Your Grace, you needn’t apologize. If your blush is anything to go by, I am guessing, it’s the king’s fault.” The pretty, dark-haired girl spoke with an accent that was unfamiliar to me.I couldn’t help but smile. It was difficult to resist Magnus. No, not difficult – impossible. His caresses and his wicked mouth made me lose myself. Nothing else mattered when I was in his arms, the softness of his lips on mine. His masterful, seductive caresses… oh, dear, I was hot all over, reminded of what he did with those skillful fingers. And of course, he never takes no for an answer.The dress was magnificent, and it fit me like a glove after some minor alterations. She was skillful and worked with a precision that I admired. I learned her name was Sophia.“Goodness,” I murmured. When she was done, I couldn’t stop staring at myself in the floor-length mirror. “It is beyond words.” And it

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    The Rook

    MagnusI found Sabelle in her lair. Or rather, my grandfather's lair, the one room in the castle I was never allowed to enter as a young boy.“To what do I owe this pleasure?” She grinned, her brows rising in mock surprise, the sound of her voice a silken caress.“You know why I'm here, Sabelle.”The room was nothing like I had imagined. It was far worse. The smell, a syrupy wave, made my nose wrinkle in disgust.What the hell was she boiling in that black cauldron?The place reeked of death and rotting meat, a stench that clung to the air like a veil. Goddess, the place could do with a thorough cleaning, dust motes dancing in the dim light. It wasn’t much better than the cave she had occupied.A hairy spider, its legs skittering, crawled up my leg. I shook it off, the rough sensation prickling my skin, and crushed it under my boot with a sickening pop.“Don't deny me the gratification of hearing it from your very lips, my sweet pet,” she said in that seductive voice she used way too

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    No Privacy

    ErinaMagnus was tense during lunch and remained quiet, stabbing at the food on his plate as if it had offended him. His mood soured the delicious aroma of the roasted meat so much that it tasted like ash in my mouth.The Supreme didn’t join us, and I was glad for the privacy. The servers came and went silently and efficiently. Hein and our bodyguards were elsewhere, but I felt their comforting presence through the link. They were ready to intercede at the first sign of trouble.I sighed, having lost my appetite. “Magnus, speak to me. I can see that you are worried.”“I’m not!” his fork clattered onto the plate. Storms brewed in his silver eyes. “I should have just executed those old bastards and bedamned the consequences. She’s going to reinstate them.”I kept my voice low. Didn’t want to incite him further. “You don’t know that.” But he was probably right. “Klaus influenced them. Don’t you think they deserve a second chance at least?” For the sake of peace.He glared at me with murd
