Chapter 120: A Day of Reckoning

Poppy looked around the grand room. It was filled with Lycans from all over the world. There were all ages and genders gathered in the hall; and all of them were alphas and betas. The cacophony of scents threatened to overwhelm her. She could smell their curiosity. Their interest. In some cases, their hate.It was a lot. Especially after her peaceful nearly two weeks in the Kleidouchai, where she had been mostly surrounded by nature and very rarely other sisters. She missed it.Next to her, Malcom gripped her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. She looked up at him and saw the concern and love in his eyes.“Don’t worry, love.” He gave her a smile, “It will all be alright.”“Malcom.” Henry Reacher approached them, barely sparing her a glance, his voice was loud enough to ring through the hall, “I had hoped that you would have come to your senses and a

Chapter 121: Out of the Frying Pan

Malcom sat back to watch the circus unfold. He was going to relish every moment of Henry’s downfall. Behind him, he could hear the murmurs of the crowd of alphas and betas and feel their curious stares boring into his back.None of them really knew what to expect, but this had not happened in any of their lifetimes. Though it had happened long ago, once. Alistair, even though he was a junior lawyer, had found the case that set the precedence during one of his long nights of combing through Lycan law and history. It had been a little over a hundred years ago; and apparently the Council memories were short, despite their ages. Those not involved in the scandal, sat on the dais, concern and curiosity burning in their gazes. Those who were involved, though, were sweating, and pale. Their fear was palpable enough that the other Council members and the closer alphas were all starting to side eye them with growing suspicion.The first witness to take the stand was Scott. He spoke about the a

Chapter 122: Into the Fire

Poppy heard the murmurs of the hall behind her as Elder Joseph turned to look at his fellow Council members. His face was calm, but she could feel the anger and disapproval pouring off of him.“Over the years, Mr. Reacher and his daughter, Natalia,” Joseph began, speaking slowly and clearly, “have often offered items or money disguised as ‘gifts’ to me, but with the understanding that if I accepted their ‘gifts’ I would owe them something, too. It started small, a chess set sent to my office, a box of teas, or coffees, or tickets to a game. But then the ‘gifts’ got bigger. More expensive. And with the bigger ‘gifts’ came the requests. If I could just pass this one resolution, ignore another, I would be showing my appreciation for all that Mr. Reacher had given me. Then came the requests to force Malcom Murray to formally mate Natalia Reacher.”The murmurs from the crowd intensified at this.“The logic behind the request was not sound.” Joseph continued, “Malcom is not the oldest alph

Chapter 123: Throwing the Gauntlet

Natalia burst through the door to the Hall of Justice. The room fell into silence as she strode in.Part of her preened at the attention.The other part focused on the male who called himself her father. The male who had orchestrated the death of her pup.“You!” She screeched, pointing her finger at Henry, “You murdered my pup!”The room erupted.A very tired looking bailiff stood at the front, half a staff in his hand, the floor tile in front of him cracked. He tossed up both hands, throwing the staff to the floor and stormed out the door behind him.Henry stood glaring at her. Eyes narrowed as he contemplated her disheveled appearance. She felt the blood that had dried and crusted into her hair, her skin, her clothes. She knew that she looked wild. Good. She was wild. Feral. Ready to kill.The room quieted again as she started to walk toward the front of the room.“Hello, Natalia.” Henry looked her up and down, his disgust evident. “I was beginning to wonder when you’d show up.”

Chapter 124: Challenge Accepted

Henry staggered back, like he had been slapped. Deep down, he had always known this day would come. But he had never expect it to be this day. He thought she’d wait until she had control of the Gaelach Úr Clan before making a power grab for his.But he had also assumed she would get over the termination. That she would understand his little push so she could claim what they had spent years working toward.The pup had been a liability. She should have been smart enough to know that.Emphasis on should. Apparently he had overestimated her ability to think rationally. Or at all.But Natalia had always been guided by her emotions and ruthless in her actions; both of which made her sometimes careless in how she carried out her plans. As evidenced by her affair with Stephan, her pregnancy, and her desperate attempt to assassinate Malcom and Poppy before they even left the content a month ago.He should have guessed that she would have acted out of anger and hurt.In hindsight, he should ha

Chapter 125: Let the Games Begin

ve sat next to Raphe, holding Serena tightly next to her. She wasn’t sure this was the best idea, but apparently, once an alpha challenge had been made, everyone had to watch. It was a right of passage or something.She was already worried about Serena’s mental health after being held prisoner for so long. The only thing that kept her from loosing her mind was the fact that there were no records of experiments on Serena; only notes about her increasing abilities.Now that she knew about the Daughters of Hecate, Eve noticed some powers beginning to manifest in Serena, but heightened.She wasn’t sure what was causing that. According to what Melissa told her, powers don’t manifest until adulthood. Or sometimes later. Serena was seven.Something had caused her to manifest early; way, way early.But right now, Eve had more important things to worry about besides her daughter’s powers. Like, was the fight that was about to happen going to be bloody?Given the state of Natalia’s clothes, th

Chapter 126: A Call to Arms

The whole arena was dead silent as Henry’s body was dragged away. No one had really expected him to end that way; Natalia hadn’t really been seen as a threat.Apparently they were wrong. Malcom clutched Poppy’s hand a little tighter. Natalia was proving to be a wild card. The new problem was that with Henry gone, Natalia might be able to claim ignorance of her father’s dealings. She might still press for Malcom to honor their contract, to claim that Poppy was not his fated.The Council Speaker, Frances walked slowly into the center of the arena and gave a small bow to Natalia.“We honor your strength, Alpha Natalia Reacher of the Forest Run Clan.” He spoke loudly enough for his voice to echo through the area, “You have won a fair alpha challenge and…”“I challenge Poppy Wallace to a mate claim.” She interrupted him, her eyes scanning the crowd until they landed on Poppy and Malcom, her empty gaze flashing as she caught sight of them, hand in hand.The crowd gasped.“Alpha Natalia…” F

Chapter 127: Expect the Unexpected

Poppy could feel Malcom’s rage behind her. She didn’t bother to look, but she could feel it, tangible, like a suffocating blanket.While she understood his anger and fear, she knew something he didn’t. What her power could do.By Lycan law, though, the challenge had been made. To walk away would be to open Malcom and his authority to question and potential war from other clans who thought he was weak or even to be removed all together by the Council.No, facing Natalia was her only option right now, despite her words of bravado. And despite the fact that she meant them. This whole practice was asinine and useless. Despite the fact that she could smell the wolf’s bane on Natalia’s fingers. “Make sure you wipe her claws.” Poppy called out to the attendants who were busy helping Natalia into clothing so she could remove the blanket and fight. “Wouldn’t want any potential opening for claiming this was an unfair fight.”Natalia glowered at her. Anger appeared to be the only emotion she w

Chapter 128: Vengeance is Mine

Stephan roared as he tore through the mangled gates of the Council estate. The guards, already bloody and bruised from the car that crashed through the gates put up no fight. Most just ran away. A few fell, cowering where they were at.He considered killing them, but they weren’t his priority. Natalia, Henry, Malcom, and Poppy were.Stephan didn’t know what order he would kill them in, but he knew they would all die that day. He was there for one thing and one thing only: revenge.After he was done today, the rogues would rule the Lycan world. Everything that kept the Lycan clans orderly and united would be torn apart. He would burn them all.Once inside the estate, he could hear yelling coming from far off to his right. If he remembered correctly, that was the challenge arena. Perhaps the mate challenge was already underway.His anger burned brighter. No one was going to steal his kill. The blood spilled today would be by him. Not them. He was the only one who would take them all out

Chapter 129: Peace at Last

Malcom watched with a mixture of fascination and horror as his mate, his beautiful, but burned, mate shot a root through the chest of the monster.Not monster, Stephan, apparently, according to Natalia who was finally showing some emotion beyond anger.“NO!” She screamed, stumbling toward the creature as he fell, eyes blank and dark, “NO! Stephan, you ass, you can’t leave! You were the only one… the only one who was loyal to me.”If he didn’t hate her so much, he would feel sorry for her. But she had planned to kill his mate, had prepared with a poison so strong it burned the skin.Malcom turned away from her and ran to Poppy who lay panting in the sand. Her face was turned down to the ground, her short, red curls curtained around her, hiding all but the tip of her nose from view.“Poppy.” His voice was hoarse as he reached her, scared of what he would see; would she be alive? Would she be in pain? Would she hate him for this?“Malcom.” Her voice sounded like she was crying. He hated
