Alester POVIt’s been nearly a month since I tasted her blood. The taste never left my mind. It was sweeter than the last Blue Moon wolf I had. There was something about it that made my throat go dry and my veins ache with the need for more. I’m afraid once I get her I may have difficulty keeping my fangs to myself. I lick my lips again as the thought flits through my mind.“Master, we are ready to try again.” Natalia said. Not waiting for me to rise from my throne, she turned and quickly left.I knew where she was headed so it didn’t strike a nerve. We walk down the corridor in silence. Frustration built with each step I take toward the altar that I allowed Natalia to build. Every day, the same thing, trying to call her blood to me so Natalia can cast a spell and summon her here. The process wore on me and with every failure, my anger grew.“Master, call her blood.” She instructed and then began the chant.

Aimee POV I woke up from my short nap and felt fully refreshed. I got dressed in yoga tights and a sports bra with a tank top over it. I then made my way down to the training room Sam had fixed up for me. He didn’t want all the pack members to see my powers and possibly relay that information to an enemy pack or Alester. So, he cleared out the floor just below our room and made the only two entrances connected to our room and Aniya’s suite. Aniya was already there when I came down the staircase from our room. She was calmly setting up the sparring area for our session. I mastered all my powers already. So, Sam and Aniya have been training me for this last week. They want me to not rely on my powers but also have the strength and knowledge to defend myself physically at any time, in any form. My strength, speed, and accuracy are now at their peak in both human and wolf forms. Now we are working on endurance. Nichole has made some puppets for me to spar so I am not hur

Natalia POV Sooner than expected 3 border guards ran up to us. The pups were instantly scared. They started whimpering and trembling like last time. They clung to me and all tried to hide behind me. I used that and acted protective of the pups. “Please help us. We escaped from a dungeon somewhere in the middle of nowhere. We have been running for two days.” I said as panicky as possible. “It’s okay. Just follow us to the guard house.” One said with his hands up in a soothing manner. This was going to be so easy, I thought to myself. They led us to a little cabin but we were still in the middle of the woods. I cursed inwardly. I was hoping they would take us to the pack house. They let us into the cabin and told us to relax. I sat down on the couch in the living room while the pups went over to the toys they had in the play area they had set up in the corner. They must get abandoned pups a lot if they have this set up in the guard house. Then the realization hit me, those pups that

Aimee POVAfter speaking with the young alpha, I linked my dad while Aniya and I left the guard tower."Dad, I need you to head to the east guard tower. there are four boys there that need an evaluation and blood drawn for DNA matching. Under no circumstances should the boys be found out about. Keep them a secret." I said."On my way there right now and I won't say a word." He replied.I linked the guards as well. "When they need medical attention link doctor Smith. If they have more information link Aniya, she will get the message to me." I ordered."Yes, Luna" Both acknowledged.Aniya and I decided to go see the pups in the orphanage before we headed home for dinner. I was happy to see them playing and happy. We were down to only 24 kids left waiting to find their parents. I read a story to them and played tag for a bit. The sun had already begun to set when we headed to the packhouse. Mom had worked hard on dinner and the table was already set. Aniya went and grabbed her pups to jo

imee POVThe first week was a breeze. The young fairy from the first night brought every meal to me. I learned his name was Thorn and that he was the eldest of his family. He was the prince of the eastern fairies while Rose was the princess of the northern fairies. He literally loved everything Rose did, the perfect match. Every day he would tell me a new story about his kingdom and family. He seemed so relieved to tell or connect with someone.Near the end of the week, he told me of his capture and how long he had been here. Natalia had created puppets to replace royal captures and confined them to the palace with a spell. One I knew I could break when the time came. Thorn told me of when he first arrived. He said that they were taken to a chamber under the palace where a glowing pillar stood. Natalia used this pillar as an anchor for the newly captured. I knew then that destroying the pillar would release the captive royals. With our newly formed bond, I knew Thorn w
