Rise of a Queen - Book 2 のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

MATHIAS I woke early, my arms still tightly secured around my little wolf. I breathed in her scent, letting the smell of brown sugar and vanilla envelope my senses and caress my beast. ‘She is ours,’ Arcas rumbled proudly. I looked at my sleeping beauty, moving my arm to see my mark positioned beautifully on the swell of her breast. I let my fingers trace the inky-colored bear paw, a crown entwined in the tribal mark. The jolts of electricity zapped through my fingers when I touched it, eliciting a moan from her slightly parted pink lips. My cock began standing to attention, from the innocent sound. I moved over her, parting her legs with my knees in a slow and careful motion, and pushed my cock into her. She was already wet and ready for me, even in her sleep she wanted me. I wasted no time filling her up and began thrusting gently, her body responding with eagerness, as I slowly fucked her awake. “Mathias” She whispered and her eyes fluttered open to meet mine. “Oh yes, baby.” S

OLIVER For the better part of almost three years, I had been serving my new king, Orion Artos. When Jack told me I hadn’t seen anything yet, the day we left MacTire, the day we left Silas and his torn limbs on the battlefield. The day we lost to the Dire Wolf. I didn’t give his words much thought. I came to find out he was not joking. I had been naive. I never questioned what Silas was doing, or why, or to who he sold the humans and young shifters to. Now I knew. And now they would have wished their only problem was Silas. Silas was evil, but he had nothing on the man who was pulling the strings from the beginning. That day we headed towards a new destination. We traveled for days, heading south to the unclaimed territory of Lewe. Only stopping to gather resources, resources meaning rogue wolves, bears, and cats to join our ranks. Resources also meant capturing and detaining humans, moving them south with us. I wasn’t a hundred percent sure why we were taking all these humans. It

LAMIA A couple of days had passed since I had come back to MacTire and every day had been a trying one. I held court and asked my people if they would fight for me, for themselves, and for all shifters and mankind. “There is a new threat, a common enemy who affects all of us! Shifters and humans alike! They have created monsters, monsters that have the capability of wiping out a whole village. Just a few months ago, a Clan, not too far from here, was wiped out. Only one person survived. Several other Clans were attacked in the Kodiak kingdom and many have been wiped out in the kingdom of Cambiador. No kingdom has been spared, and none of us are safe. I ask you, my people, kings, queens, and council members: Will you stand by us and fight as one? Will you fight to defeat a common enemy? Fight for each other to preserve our way of life and our realm?” Cheers and whoops had sounded out before my warriors started to take a knee. One by one, they lowered to the floor to pledge their

KELLEN The ride back to the kingdom would have taken two plus days, but I couldn’t wait another minute to get back there, my worst nightmare had come true. My kingdom had been attacked and I was not there to fight for my people, to defend them. I had failed my people. So I found myself, along with Mike, riding in this goddess damn thing they call ‘Birdie’. The ride was only a couple of hours, much quicker than if we had gone by car, but it still wasn’t fast enough. When Mike and I had come to our senses and realized what was going on, that the new moon pack, the kingdom, was under attack and people were dying, my wolf and I felt it the moment my mother had died. I could feel my father’s anguish through our link, even though we were too far away to talk through it, I could still feel his discomfort. His wolf was weak, but he was alive. We had tried calling, texting, emailing, and mind-linking and we had got nothing. The only thought I had was to get home. Our pack had been attacke

OLIVER The attack on the wolf kingdom had been a success in King Orion’s eyes. But not mine. The king and queen may be dead, but the prince had not been there. It was a small victory, but I didn’t think Orion realized how strong the prince was, either that or he overlooked the fact that the prince, now King Kellen, was closely tied with Lamia. Our sources at the time had neglected to tell us that the prince and his Beta had not been at the palace the night we attacked them. Not that it mattered the attack was happening either way. Jack and I had led the group of rogues and Finnegan had stood by to make sure the Crawlers did their job, and us, ours. We are currently holed up in another of Orion’s off-site compounds. We were headed back to one of the warehouses just inside the bear kingdom, close to Lonely City. The trucks were packed with the remaining crawlers, who were quiet now that daylight had come. They were not fond of the bright light and sun’s rays. It seemed to irritat
