MagnusA sleepless night. Worry kept me by her side while she lay unmoving, pale and beautiful. I undressed her gently, leaving her naked and spread out on my bed, in my new suite. The full moon bathed her in silver from the open windows. My goddess. The sight of her made me feel a warmth I hadn't felt in ages.When she collapsed earlier, I thought I had lost her, lost my pup. But I heard his heart fluttering away in her womb. Save. Unharmed.The room I had shared with Elise as my queen for a brief while stayed empty. I couldn’t have Erina in that room. Yes, call me a hypocrite if you want to. Especially after what happened with Sabelle. I hated myself for it. The shame ate me alive. She was my aunt, for fuck’s sake! It was wrong on so many levels. How could I have been so weak letting her seduce me? I promise myself it won’t happen again. Erina deserved better.I cursed Sabelle, knowing she could hear my thoughts and feel my anger through our familial bond, but she stayed silent.Unt

All Her Fault

ErinaSo many eyes watched us as I walked next to Magnus into the throne room, which was overfilled with high-ranking wolves and elders. His hand tightened over mine as he led the way up the stone steps to his throne of bones. It still filled me with dismay looking at it and knowing my father and brother’s bones decorated it. Although I knew they deserved it. I forgave them for what they did to me, how they used me to get to Magnus, but it didn’t hurt any less. I meant so little to my father that he had a curse put on me to achieve his goal. Gazing up at his grinning skull at the top of Magnus’ throne, I spoke to him in my thoughts. “Well, Father, I am determined not to be ruled by your curse. I love Magnus, and he loves me, and together we will rule this werewolf kingdom.”I sat next to Magnus on a gilded chair placed there for that purpose. Magnus turned to me with a slight smile ghosting his lips. Reaching for my hand, he whispered his words in private, yet they still carried thro

Magic

Fritz lifted his head to look pointedly at me. “She is dangerous. Do not forget who her father was. Her purpose was to destroy our kind. And look at her!” He lifted his bound hands. “Sitting there like she has every right! She is there to end the Lycan, to end the werewolf kind. Magnus is no longer fit to rule. She has compromised him!”I felt the wolf stir beneath my skin, hungry for blood. She leered through my eyes at him, all of them watching me, judging me. How dare they look at me like that! The air smelled of distrust and suspicion.Magnus reached for my hand, grounding me. His warmth seeped into my bones, reassuring me through our bond. He had promised to fight for me.“Enough of this bullshit!” Magnus released a surge of his Lycan power. It coiled around the room, forcing the lesser wolves to their knees. “Who is on trial here? Is it me or my mate?” He got to his feet and stepped down the stone steps towards Fritz.The interrogator retreated from Magnus. He looked like a god

Dining with the Devil

MagnusWas it magic? Whatever that was, it didn’t come from me. Or it enhanced my power. My beast purred at the back of my mind. It didn’t concern him in the least. Our mate was more than what she realized. There was something ancient and powerful in that mark. I was certain not even Sabelle knew exactly what it was. She was guessing, like the manipulator she was.I wondered if maybe Sabelle woke up some hidden power when she possessed Erina. I was still concerned and pissed off about that. Erina remembered nothing. Completely blank. As if those few moments had never happened. Gisela locked herself in her quarters after that narrow escape, and I haven’t seen or spoken to her since.“You’re quiet.” Erina pulled at my sleeve.We were on our way to the dining room to have dinner with the High Council members and the elders. I wasn’t looking forward to it.“Because I would rather enjoy our dinner alone with you, my sweet.” I’ve had enough condescension for one day. The High Council was fu

Sharp Teeth

Erina‘What is she doing here?’ I pretended to be interested in the food on my plate while linking Magnus.Instead of answering me, Magnus pressed my thigh under the table, his hand firm, a warning. Do not make a scene was the message it conveyed. I swallowed a huff. He should have told her to leave. She had no business there.Eyes sharp with curiosity followed Sabelle’s movements as she took her place next to Magnus as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The air shifted in the room, thick with suspicion. Concerned murmurs drifted towards us like smoke.“I must say, Excellence,” Alpha Klaus turned to Magnus. “This is an interesting development. Why didn’t you inform us of your relationship with…?” he waved his hand in Sabelle’s general direction.Sabelle lifted her brows; her voice laced with amusement. “The witch? You can say it. I won’t smite you.” She giggled as if it were a joke. “I think my nephew is still coming to terms with our being related.” She winked at Magnus.

Sleepwalking

Blood painted the walls, the ceiling, pooling at my feet. The smell, coppery, nauseating and somehow satisfying. My heartbeat pounded steadily in my ears; lub-dub, lub-dub… This was some weird dream. A nightmare? But it felt too real. There was a weight in my hand, something soft, almost rubbery. I was hungry. Took a bite.Wake up, Erina! Wake up!A nightbird screeched. It startled me, and I dropped the object I held.I woke up and realized it was not a bird, but Magnus’ voice jolting me back to reality.“Goddess! You scared me to death!” Magnus was in front of me, his hands on my upper arms. “Erina!” He shook me, eyes wide with fright.I gulped in air. “What…?”“What are you doing out of bed and… Oh Fuck! Are you bleeding?” Light flooded the room.I heard him gasp. Opened my eyes, blinking against the harsh light. Magnus took a step back. “That… that is not your blood.”I lifted my hands to inspect them. They were sticky with blood. Yes, it was real. I blinked. “Magnus?” I didn’t u

Unexpected Witness

MagnusI was deeply troubled. Not because Olivia was dead, no, Erina was my concern. She kept insisting that it had all been a dream, a nightmare. I called the healer to give her a sedative and sat with her until she slept. My mate, my perfect mate. Her face, a picture of innocence, the face of an angel. It never ceases to amaze me how untouched she looked despite everything. She mumbled something in her sleep and turned over onto her side. I pulled the covers over her shoulders, leaving her to sleep, but I locked the bedroom door behind me. Hein waited for me outside. The wind howled around the stone walls, a sound of grief. It pulled at my clothes, tore at my hair like desperate fingers. Hein wore a grave expression.“Is she alright?” he asked.I had to remind myself it meant nothing. His concerns were platonic, just those of a friend.“She’s sleeping,” I replied. “We have to keep this contained, Hein.”“Yes, my king.”We walked side by side to the dungeon, bowing into the angry w

Say Please

I stormed out of my office after I spoke to Anderson with one goal in mind. Sabelle. Servants scampered out of my path to the west wing. That damned witch! I was going to force her to release us from her bond. Whatever evil spell she wove to control my mate, she’d better break it if she valued her life.I didn’t knock on her door. It flew off its hinges to shatter against the stone wall on the opposite side.“Well, good morning to you, nephew.” She sat up in bed, the covers slipping from her bare body. “Did you miss me?”“What have you done, Sabelle?” In less than two strides I was at her bedside, glaring down at her.She didn’t flinch. Instead, she looked amused. “Why, whatever has gotten you so upset, my pet?”“Don’t play with me, witch! What have you done to Erina?”“Oh, that,” she shrugged. “I helped her, Magnus. You should thank me.”White-hot rage roared through my veins. Without thinking, I grabbed her around the throat and hauled her ass out of the bed. “Tell me, you old hag!

Distractions

ErinaLocked in. I rattled the doorknob. What on earth? Why was I locked in the bedroom? Then it hit me. Everything that happened last night. Magnus cleaning me in the shower. Burning my nightdress in the fireplace. I killed Olivia. Oh my God, I ripped out her heart and ate it!I sank to the floor, breathing hard. Why, I asked the wolf inside my mind. I was spiraling out of control, becoming something I feared.‘To make Fritz suffer,’ she grinned, a gleam of madness in her crystal eyes. ‘All will suffer. They will regret hurting us.’No, revenge changes nothing. We cannot erase the past, Wolf. Haven’t we done enough? I’ve had enough blood on my hands.But she didn’t want to listen. She slunk back to a corner deeper in my mind, her words echoing: ‘More will suffer.’I didn’t want this. I hated what I’ve become.I reached for Magnus through the mind-link, desperate for him. He was the only person keeping me from falling over the edge. ‘Magnus, where are you? God, please, I’m going out o

Suspicious Minds

The news of Olivia’s death and Fritz’s descent into madness spread through the castle and the kingdom. The castle vibrated with whispers, suppositions and suspicions. Everyone had their own opinion about Olivia’s demise. But no one knew who did it, and those who did kept their mouths tightly shut.Of course, the High Council would be outraged about it. The trial couldn’t go ahead with Fritz in the state he was in. Alpha Klaus asked to speak to Magnus in private.“Just keep quiet, Erina,” Magnus tried to reassure me. “No matter what happens or what he thinks he knows, don’t let him get to you.”“I won’t if you won’t.” I kept thinking about his dangerous aura, the blue haze that almost killed all of us when he lost his temper.He gave me a tight smile. “I promise.”Such a liar.Alpha Klaus breezed into Magnus’ private study, brimming with self-righteousness. He greeted me with just enough politeness not to be rude.“My king, we need to address this unfortunate situation with the utmost
