Gideon The Ninth Series Novels & Stories

From followers of a lost cause to builders of a new one. “Our first task is to secure the pack. Our second is to find my daughter, your future Alpha, and bring her home.” I paused, my next words dropping into the silence like stones. “And our third… is justice.” I turned to the warrior at my side. “Bring the prisoner.” A ripple went through the crowd as Gideon was dragged in, his hands bound, his armor stripped away. The cold, proud Alpha was gone, replaced by a sullen, defeated man. But his eyes still burned with hatred when they landed on me.

"Is it true your wife returned with a secret heir? Last we heard, she fled after betraying you with your Gamma." The surrounding table fell silent. Gideon swirled the wine in his glass slowly. “That scandal was fabricated." His tone remained calm. "As you can see, Jordan still serves me." Gregory chuckled. "As you say." His eyes gleamed maliciously. “And the child?" Orion remained seated on his seat, not interested to take participation in the useless conversation. Gideon knew why this man was determined to deflate him today, He knew to which pack Gregory belonged and Gideon didn't actually pay much heed to him, considering his colorful history with that pack whose Alpha’s daughter He killed

Gideon just glared at anyone who suggested otherwise. Doc Theo had ordered rest, so I pushed that for both of them. I made us all take a full break—no discussion about what had happened or how to avoid any stress that could set Seren back in her recovery. Now, forty-eight hours after Seren and Gideon returned, that break was over. We had rogues to interrogate, a traitor to find and execute, and plans to make for ripping the rot out of our kingdom.

At this point, she did not think he was joining them. “Just now,” Caleb replied casually. “I’m coming along for the party.” Her brow arched slightly. “You know someone there?” Caleb nodded. “Gideon. He is my friend.” Damien offered some context. “Gideon is the birthday boy. He is Ronan’s nephew and his sister Giovanni’s son. Gia recently moved to New York because Gideon’s father was relocated here for work. Since Gideon isn’t used to being away from his dad, Gia decides to stay in New York for a while. Caleb and Gideon are the same age and attend the same class. I asked Caleb to look out for him and befriend him.”

Adrian's breathing became shallow. His eyes reached the final line. Never allow anyone to assemble the Ninth Cipher. If the Ninth Cipher is completed... History will not change. It will be erased. Before he could process those words... His phone rang. Unknown Number. He answered. Silence. Then a calm male voice spoke. "We've been waiting for you, Dr. Vale." The line disconnected. At that exact moment, every television in the apartment turned on by itself. Every screen showed the same image. A black background.

How dare they sit and watch while our kind slaughters one another? Smoothing his fingers down his neatly trimmed beard, Gideon smiled enthusiastically. He snapped at the warriors standing at our back, “Bring me the Alpha, Luna, and my whore of a daughter. As for the other three…” He hummed thoughtfully. “Well, I have no use for a truth teller, and with Kalix, I have no need for astral projection. Slit their throats. Oh, and the girl’s too. Shayla, right? Yes, kill all three of them.” “NO!” Jada screamed and begged as the warriors shoved her and Hakeem forward.

Ghost grabs for my elbow again and this time I don’t shrug him off; I’m too busy focusing on the scent of pancakes, at first I thought it smelt like Flora’s but now I realise there is an earthy, spicy scent to them that I’ve never smelt before. “Do you smell that?” I ask no one in particular; I feel like I’m floating in the air and I’m following a vivid cloud of this delicious scent without caring who is in my way. I barely register putting one foot in front of the other; people move out of my way with little complaint and I think that's thanks to Ghost. I keep walking in a daze until I come to the end of the group and see Gideon standing in the middle of a field with a small child clinging

Gideon rolled his eyes, "Lily is just a pawn to do as a sister what I can't as an uncle. Plus, the pain of betrayal by the dearest little sister will be tenfold worse. She doesn't even know the end that I have planned for her and her family. She believes it is all for her to take her brother's throne. The foolish girl fell so easily for greed, jealousy, and false flattery. She can't even control her dragon transformation. I was surprised she even made it back after our first mission on Y's island. But no need to worry, she is no threat, and once she has fulfilled her purpose she will be out of her way as well." Gideon then glared at everyone and most of all at Nora, "Now if my interrogation

I leaned against the cold brick wall, my hand trembling as I pulled my phone from my pocket and called my assistant, Maria, to come get me. The ninth time. I thought back to the ridiculous bet Julia had proposed a year ago. "Nine choices, Leona. Let's see who Isak really picks. The loser walks." The first time was at my mother's funeral. A rival family crashed the service and opened fire. Isak dove to shield Julia without a second thought. The second time was at his succession ceremony. A bomb went off, and his first instinct was, again, to protect Julia. The third, fourth, fifth time…

"It's not knitting, is it?" "No," Nine said with a small shake of her head, turning to look at it. "It's just... When my baby girl comes, she'd have so many things... Because she's born here, so I'd like to give her something. Amidst all of it," Then she turned to Ora and smiled, "That I made myself. As a gift." Ora smiled back at her. "That truly is wonderful," "Did you say a girl?" Both of them turned to the door as the Queen entered. Nine couldn't remember the last time she had seen her, considering she had stayed away from people ever since Lucas' disappearance, though one couldn't tell by looking at her.
