I can hear their screams.Even now. Almost a week later.I’m curled up, at the very back of this cave, hidden amongst the rocks. Safe. Or as safe as it can be for someone like me.I haven’t moved in what feels like days. My body is still so mentally broken that the most I can do is lick the rainwater off the walls as it trickles down.They’re dead. All of them.My entire family. Erased. Removed. Murdered.I shudder, curling up tighter, trying to rid myself of the images but they come anyway. My father lying, with his throat ripped out. My mother, half covering him, wailing before they gut her and leave her to bleed out and die.And my sister, Lia, my beautiful sister. Her long locks splattered with blood. Her face completely obliterated as if she’d caused some offence to the Moon Goddess herself.She was meant to be a queen. She was destined for greatness, we all knew it. Everyone knew it. The entire Werewolf world knew it.As I lie here, I feel a rush of anger at the fact my father d

“Do you mean that?”I sit back looking at my family. At all of them. My parents. My five brothers and my sister. We’re sat around the table, with the food untouched in front of us all. We eat like this, as a family, most nights. It’s the one meal we spend together.“Yes.” I say.Khloe’s eyebrows shoot up. Ryker doesn’t look surprised. The rest stare back and I swear their jaws smack the table.“You don’t have to make any decisions now.” My mother says before picking up her fork again.“I know but for the moment Ryker is my heir.” I state. I don’t want to have any in-fighting, any petty squabbles. We need to present a united front and me being clear about this ensures that’s what we do.Ryker shakes his head just enough for me to notice.‘You have a problem with that?’ I ask through the mind-link.‘You know I’m not suitable to take over if something were to happen.’ He replies.I tilt my head. ‘And why is that?’He looks away as if he’s ashamed when we both know he has no reason to be.

This has to be a joke. Did the Council set this up? Or did they just wake up and decide to fly halfway across the damned country to insult me?I can’t hide the glare as I sit down on my throne.They’re all here. Every Alpha. All of them accompanied by daughters, nieces, sisters even.Did they set this up? Did they all have a little conversation behind my back about how to deal with my lost mate problem?Gods, Lia isn’t even cold in her grave, if she even has a grave, and already they’re trying to slide some new She-Wolf into my bed.I glance at my mother. She’s stood to the side, I know all these Alpha’s always fuck with her head, that her own mate-bond reacts to their presence because she’s a Sullivan. And more than that, I know she’s uneasy, that that old fear is stirring. She’s the only woman in the world who can create Lycan’s. What if one of these Alpha’s decided to steal her away when I decided their chosen bride wasn’t to my liking? If my fathers were here she wouldn’t have to

In the morning, I leave her fast asleep, curled up in the hospital bed with enough blankets to ensure she’s warm.And I’m there sat, waiting for my parents to arrive.Aeron is there first, as expected. And my mother walks in, with Cain’s arms wrapped around her and her eyes on him, like they’re mind-linking something I don’t want to know about.I clear my throat. Loudly. And they both look at me.“Cock block.” Cain murmurs and I don’t want to contemplate all the things they’ve probably been up to while I spent the night restless and more than a little confused.“I need you to be serious.” I say.“When are we not?” Aeron replies.I’ll give him that. Aeron is always the serious one, and Cain, well half the time he was the one encouraging us to be naughty when we were growing up.“There was a situation. Last night.” I state.“What situation?” My mother asks sitting down, right between the pair of them. Both my fathers put their hands on her thighs in that protective, domineering fashion

The Council arrive the next day.It’s no less than what we expected. What we prepared for. They question Lia at length while I sit beside her, hoping my presence gives her some sort of comfort.When they’re done, they ask her to step outside while we ‘discuss the situation’. I’ll admit that puts my back up but Lia just nods, and gets up so acceptingly of this entire situation.As soon as the door shuts, Aeron speaks.“So?” He says fixing them with his gaze.“What response exactly are you looking for, Elder Aeron?” Ezekial asks.“I’d would have thought that was obvious.” I say backing him up.Ezekial looks at me and I can see it, that same unease he’s always had. He’s comfortable enough around the rest of my species but me, my power, my strength, he doesn’t know how to handle me, what to anticipate.“We cannot confirm for definite that such a curse exists.” Cassandra says.I let out a frustrated sigh.“But…” She continues fixing me with a look I guess is meant to be reassuring. “There
