“Nathian,” the Night King said, still squatting over me. “I hear that you and the old man are the ones in charge of this creature’s health. Is it true that she only has a few years left to live?”His fingers still gripped my chin, forcing my eyes to lock with his. The same feeling of need that Lady Brittany consistently used against me once more flooded into me through his touch. He kept is subtle at first, as though giving me a chance to get used to it, but it ever slowly increased as the seconds passed by. I could sense Master Nathian approach alongside Alpha Lord Grizzle.“It is, your majesty,” he said formally. “With luck, she might reach her twentieth year.”“Excellent,” the Night King grinned, still gazing into my very soul. Just before I let a traitorous moan pass my lips, the tingling in my body growing to be too much, he let go and stood up once more. “Grizzle, it’s been too long my old friend. I trust your father is well. I’m surprised he isn’t here now, I’ve been told he ne

“Oh shit,” Luther cursed before rushing over to my side, unsure of what to do or what happened. If my back wasn’t hurting so bad then I would’ve found it kind of cute. “I’m sorry, kid.”“Luna,” also came the cries of dozens of the cubs as they also ran over.“I’m alright,” I said, forcing a smile on my face. I was so hot, my face was sweating badly and I was really feeling the extra shirt taped under my uniform. I needed some fresh air badly. “Captain’s Abby and Duncan, can you please assemble the troops. I want shoes on and everyone prepared to march in three minutes. The grown ups should be back very soon and I know your parents would love to see all of you cheering their return.”“Yes, Luna,” they saluted before turning to do as I asked. Morgan, Tracy, and a few of the other teens waited until I nodded at them before going to help organize the chaos. Finally, once they were all distracted, I put my head against the cool floor and took several calming breaths.Or, at least, that was

As soon as I was ushered inside, I dropped to my knees, my face flushing instantly.The Royal Beta noticed at once and chuckled. “What’s the matter, little wolf? You seem embarrassed about something,” he said, walking over to Luther and slapping his shoulder. “Come, my friend. Let’s go train a little.”I could feel Luther’s gaze on the back of my head for a second before they left.“Brit,” the Night King said, and I could feel her using her magic. For a moment I flinched, thinking she was going to hurt me, but instead I felt the pressure in the room grow. A telltale sign that a barrior of some kind was established. No doubt to make the tent private from any eavesdroppers. She then stepped out of the tent as well, leaving me alone with him.He finally took a step forward from the shadows of the tent and I could no longer ignore his presence. Terrified at first, my heart racing in my chest, everything changed when he came close enough for his scent to fill my nose. It was the most amazi

The two guards tried to haul me up to my knees, but I jerked away from their hands.“Stop touching me,” I cried out, finding it almost impossible to keep my tears from falling. No one was listening to me and it was making me desperate. A crowd was forming around us by this point, many of their faces showing either annoyance or curiosity. Only Ben’s family and my own showed an sign of concern. The conern on my parents faces were purely reputaion based.“Ayla, what under the light of the moon is wrong with you,” Luna Lannie asked, her whip still cutting into my leg. “Is it true that you attacked Margaret when she offered to help lighten your chores?” The laugh that escaped my mouth sounded foreign in my ears, full of sarcasm and anger. “That’s not what…”The same servant who I shouted at before cut me off, stepping forward. “If you please, my Lord and Lady, but it’s true. The Goddess as my witness, we were busy doing our work when she came in, throwing a tantrum. When Margaret tried to

Maize“Ayla, why didn’t you say something to someone about this earlier today,” Rosie lectured after discarding the shirt Ayla had taped around her back. It was soaked through with blood.“Because no one would’ve believed me,” she cried, tears rolling down her cheeks as she gently laid on the bed. Misty took one of her hands while Maize sat on her other side, taking the other. Ayla tried to pull away, tensing up once more, but neither Maize nor Misty let go.“Shh, it’s alright,” Maize said gently, rubbing soothing circles into the back of Ayla’s hand. “Neither of us are going to hurt you, your safe here.”Ayla laughed, shaking her head. “If Alpha Lord Grizzle doesn’t kill me, then Elder Lord Roland will. And even if he somehow shows mercy, then Master Nathian will do it instead. Then there’s the Night King, who, who…” she couldn’t say anymore before the sobs started up again.“Ayla, don’t you worry about mother and father,” Misty said, sharing a worried look with Maize. Though they ha
