Magnus

I will bring her back. Did she think she could escape me? I promised I would always find her. Even if I had to burn the world down.

I strode down the bustling corridors to the throne room. There would be hell to pay for the person who helped her get away. I took my place on my throne of bones. Ignatius’ bones have yet to decorate my throne. He was still being picked clean by the ravens and other scavengers. Soon Anderson will join him. Although he claimed to have saved my life, he still

    MagnusTwo days to go, and I dreaded each passing second. Fritz rightly said Erina was a weapon. But not in the sense he meant. She was the weapon my elders and the High Council were using to destroy me. With her gone, it would be easier to control or replace me. They have skillfully pitted the wolves against her, using their prejudices to the council’s advantage. But I won’t let that happen, and I won’t let her die.“Never,” I whispered to her sleeping form. “I won’t let them destroy us, my love.” My beautiful mate. She looked so peaceful in sleep, her dark lashes kissing her cheeks, her ruby lips slightly parted. I could watch her forever, mesmerized by the gentle rise and fall of her chest with each soft breath.I let her sleep. She deserved to rest. These past days have taken their toll on her. But I admired her spirit, her resolve to prove herself. But I wasn’t about to let her kill herself to prove a point. She was stubborn and more like her father than she would admit. I hate

    ErinaWhose devilish plan was this to make me fight against my sister? She was relentless. I saw my father in her, her fluid movements. She was supple like a cat. You wouldn’t say she had a baby two months ago. The advantages of being a werewolf, I guess. I had healed, but I still felt fat and sluggish.“Come on, Erina! Put your weight behind your punches. You hit like a girl!” Her angry screams did little to entice me.I was hot and tired. As if sensing my distress, the cows in the paddock let out low moos of empathy. At least they had their calves with them. My baby needed me. “I am a girl!” I yelled out of frustration.She was a killing machine. Our father trained her, not me. My purpose was to be a sacrifice, not a fighter.She snarled back, “You’re not! You’re a fucking werewolf. Own it!”She slapped me. Right across my face. Blood flew in an arc from my nose.The wolf inside roared for dominance. I felt her surge forward, filling me with strength.Daphne aimed a kick at my fac

    MagnusI loathed every moment of subjecting her to this torment. But it was necessary. I watched her slumbering form. Exhaustion etched fine lines around her mouth and eyes. She was resilient, I must confess. Even after the grueling paces she still tirelessly cared for our son. Adamant to spend as much time with him as she could.It was only until Helen urged me to carry her to bed that she yielded. She had drifted off in the rocking chair while nursing Marcel. “My stubborn huntress,” I murmured as I lifted her into my arms. She sighed softly, nestling her head against my shoulder and wrapped her arms around my neck without waking. Marcel, a peaceful bundle, was fast asleep under Helen’s watchful eye.Erina needed rest. Tomorrow, I will have to push her harder. A thought that sank like a stone in my gut.“Link me if you have any issues. She’s not to be disturbed.”“Of course, my king,” Helen bowed her head respectfully.“And Helen, allow no one other than us in here.” I had deployed e

    I spent a restless night in the nursery. Marcel, sensing my turmoil, was also restless. No matter how Hanna and I tried, we couldn’t get him to settle. The moment I put him down; he would wake and cry. Eventually, I gave up and took him to bed with me. He fell asleep on my chest, and I dozed off for a few blissful minutes. At least that was what it felt like before being rudely awakened.“Erina, get up. It’s time.” Magnus loomed over me like a shadow of doom.I groaned and forced open an eye. “Are you serious? I just fell asleep,” I mumbled, my voice thick with sleep.But seconds later, I bolted out of bed. My heart thudding against my ribs. “Marcel!” I gasped. He was no longer on my chest.Magnus, arms folded across his broad chest, was unamused. “Hanna took him. You have five minutes to get done.” He turned on his heel and left the room.***I had to jog to keep up with Magnus’ long strides. He was obviously still angry about last night. Granted, I probably shouldn’t have said what

    ErinaHis scent reached me before he walked into the nursery where I was rocking Marcel to sleep. I stiffened. I didn’t have the strength for another argument today. Talking to the elders and Klaus after Magnus left had drained me.“Erina.” He looked better, changed his clothes, shaved and combed his hair back. He smelled wonderful. My wolf pined for his touch. His threat to reject us had left her whining and needy. We both needed reassurance. But I doubt he was there to kiss and make up.“Magnus, please don’t start this again.” I pleaded with my eyes. My heart thudded dully, fearing the worst.He had a guarded expression. “I’m here to see my son. Is that allowed?”I gave him Marcel, ignoring the subtle dig. “I’ve just changed and fed him. You’re welcome to settle him. I’ll leave you.” Since he'd made it so obvious earlier that he had nothing else to say, I saw no reason to stay.“Stay,” he murmured, but it still felt like a command. “I’m not here to change your mind, Erina.” He kisse

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    Running for Resolve

    MagnusThe scent of pine and earth filled my senses as I ran through the damp, mossy forest. Branches whipped past in a blur of green and brown as I let the beast run free. The crisp mountain air offered a reprieve from the staleness of the library. The beast growled, a low rumble deep within my chest, mirroring my frustration. I needed to clear my head, silence the noise in my head.“The bastards know Erina's death would render me useless,” I muttered, the words a ragged breath torn from my throat. “Mad or dead.” Klaus's ambition was a foul stench, clinging to him like cheap perfume. Did he think I was blind? He lusted after my throne. I saw it in his ruthless, beady eyes. And my elder council, the ones who I had trusted to hold me accountable, were conspiring with that skunk. Using Erina’s insecurities to trap her and she walked neatly into it. Faster, faster. I ran as if I could outrun all my problems. Dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves, painting shifting patterns on my

    Hein“Did you hear what I said?” Daphne threw her shoe at my head. I ducked in time, and it crashed against the kitchen wall.I barely listened to what she said because all I could think about was that Erina was pregnant and the expression on Magnus’ face. She was carrying my pup, and she was gone.

    Standing in the shower, I let the hot water wash the grime and terrible memories of the past few days from my body and mind. I have never been so exhausted in my life. After drying off, I wrapped a soft towel around my body and went to lie on the bed. Just a brief nap and then I will get dressed an

    I planted soft kisses on his neck while he carried me to his bedroom. We fell onto his bed, locked in an embrace. We peeled off each other’s clothing, eager to explore our bodies. I wasn’t ashamed of being naked any longer. I have Magnus to thank for that. He freed me from my father’s strict rules

That he would find me and take me back. When the driver asked me where I was headed and I told him, home, it was Black Rock Castle I thought
