Amelia Barker sat in her office in the castle. As Luna Queen, things were never dull or slow. She fingered the book on her desk of her mate's great-grandmother's life. Nathan said all his life, they were told about Crystal and Killian. This book recorded her life and the first Gathering of Packs and why the packs joined together. She loved this book because it showed that even though they were the truest of mates, they had so many problems in their relationship. Amelia and Nathan met when they were ten at a gathering and they became best friends. When she turned sixteen. they knew. At twenty-three, Nathan was made alpha of Blood Moon and she was luna. They were good as alpha and luna. Apparently, the packs thought they were so good, when they turned thirty, they were voted in as king and queen. Amelia wondered how she would ever live up to Crystal but her book helped. Missy Barker, queen after Crystal, had a book that helped as a guide. Serena Barker, queen after Missy, also had a b
Patty and Kane got closer over the years and he even told her that she was his mate. He could feel that much. Patty was excited and nervous and she knew that this is what her mother talked about. Ever since meeting Kane at the Gathering of Packs, Kane had moved the rouges closer to the castle. The rouges were getting annoyed at all the time he spent with her and unlike other packs, rouges could over throw their alpha and proclaim a new one.Kane was with Patty one afternoon when Amelia came out to them."Kane, will stay for supper?""Of course. As long as his majesty is alright with it.""Why wouldn't he be?""Becuase I am a rouge dating his daughter.""My great-grandmother was a rouge.""What?""Queen Luna Missy was a rouge when she met my great-grandfather Alex.""I didn't know that.""It's said that she was raised by the woman who wanted King Killain dead.""And they still took her in?""Ale
Killian was born to the lowest of his pack. His mother was a tender woman with a kind soul and treated him well. She loved him with all her heart. She could because Killian’s father was not her mate. Freya Barker was a sweet soul that lived for only her son. Fredrick Barker was not a bad person, but he had a drinking problem. Alcohol mixed with a werewolf’s temper was a bad mix. On the night Killian turned was six, it happened. Freya knew that one day, Fredrick would get so drunk on a full moon and the werewolf would take over enough to make him snap and he would hurt one or both of them. She would make sure her Killian was not touched. Freya heard Fredrick come in, stumbling, and cursing in his wake as the werewolf tried to break free. In her gut, she knew this would be her last night and stiffened her spine as she knew she would never see Killian again. She picked Killian up and
She was born into a normal family. Her father was Alpha, her mother was a Luna. She had a younger brother who was to be named Alpha when their father decided. Everything seemed normal until the day her brother Andrew started assaulting her. She went and told her parents but because Andrew was future alpha, they couldn’t have his name ruined. She was abused by both her parents, her brother, and anyone her brother had over. She tried to kill herself multiple times, thinking anything was better than this. They would never let her leave. It stopped temporarily when she turned sixteen. Her wolf came forth and revealed a solid white coat and she had clear blue eyes. She was the perfect specimen of a wolf. When Andrew turned a year later and he was nothing more than a brown wolf with normal golden eyes, he became enraged, and the beating got worse. He felt he had been cheated someho
Her wolf hit the ground, and she heard the glass hitting the pavement next to her. Without evening looking back, she took off in a full sprint. She heard the shouting from behind her and sped her pace up. She’s out and now she made sure it stayed that way. Crystal’s heart raced more than it ever had as she heard Andrew and his friends chasing behind her in their wolf forms. Aurora promised she wouldn’t let them catch her. They would not go back to that life. They trampled over limbs, dodged trees, cleared a stream, and still, they gave chase. As her legs began to tire, the forest got thicker, and she knew she was entering Blood Moon Pack. She could smell him faintly and it gave her an extra boost of energy. They crossed into Blood Moon and his scen
Killian woke up and smiled a bit to himself. The sun was pouring in and the room was warm. Crystal was now in human form and curled up next to him. He admired her naked body but the more he stared, the more he grew furious. She was underweight and her skin was shades of black, blue, purple, and yellow. Not a single part of her was untouched. She had truly been a prisoner in her own home and her captors were her own family. Before she woke up and panicked, he carefully got out of bed and covered her. He walked out the door and locked it. He went straight to the training yards to let out his anger. He didn't want her to see him like that. Jake met him down along with a few others to help him work out his aggression.Crystal jolted out of bed and sat straight up. She began to panic as she didn't know where she was. She caught the scent of rain and cedarwood and she let it relax her. Once she was calmed down, she opened her eyes and looked around, and tried to remember what happe
Crystal saw every shop with Killian following behind. He encouraged her to try everything and feel free to get anything she liked. She hesitated at first, but once she was comfortable, Killian enjoyed seeing her light up in every shop. Killian knew it would take time for her to let her guard down and not be so nervous, but he could wait. A few items had to be sent straight to the house and others, he carried for her.Crystal had never done this before. She went into every shop and got things of her choice without anyone saying she couldn't. Killian just sat back and watched her with a smile on his face. The Moon Goddess knew what she needed and who knew a hardened military alpha would be the teddy bear she needed. She knew this man would defend her and she took pleasure in enjoying her freedom. She bought more things than she knew what to do with. Most of them were clothes she had always wanted and the foods she had wanted to try.After shopping, Killian to
Killian sat in front of the cell that now held Caleb. He was bound in chains and currently hanging limp. He stared at this man and Drake saw red and wanted his blood. He didn't care who he was and what he was doing here. He was from them and he hurt her. He had the nerve to come to look for her here. Jake came up next to him a while later and told him Crystal was in his office and needed to speak to him. With a hard sigh, Killian stood up and walked to his office. He knew what Crystal wanted and knew he couldn't say no to her. She needed to watch him fall.Killian walked into his office and she was in his chair. He walked over and sat on the edge of the desk. He looked at her and just nodded. She stood up and followed him out and down to the basement. She felt a thrill seeing Caleb strung up. She wanted Killian to know how she felt and asked him to be standing back where Caleb couldn't see him when he woke. She wanted him to just see her and let him dig his own grave. Killian
Andrew paced his dad's office. Caleb hasn't been seen or heard from since he left to find Crystal two months ago. He had to be dead. There was no other way to explain it. He was getting more and more furious and his wolf, Atticus, was growing tenser and tenser."I bet she watched.""Andrew.""He was the worst. The things he did to her were the worst out of all of us. If stories are true, Killian beat him to death.""That could be an act of war.""So, what are we going to do?""I'll contact Killian.""Why, so he can invite you and then kill you.""Andrew, get out, now."Andrew stormed out of his dad's office and went for a run. He was fuming. How dare that little bitch watch his beta die. She would pay for it.Crystal sat in bed with Killian. She was wearing nothing but a shirt this morning as Killian brought her breakfast in bed. He was picking a suit to wear to meet with the alph
