Please leave me a comment and a gem if you enjoyed the chapter.
MORGAN 2 WEEKS LATER “Are you ready?” I ask my brother. Finn nods his head, a look of apprehension. I squeeze his hand offering comfort and subtly conveying to him there was nothing to fear. This was the first time he would be witnessing me call our mother forth, the first time he will have seen her in years. For me, it was normal. I had been calling our mother forth for years. If not for my own reasons, then because our father, Orion demanded speaking to her. Whenever Orion came back to Andora, it’s what he always asked of me. Sometimes he would talk to my mother for hours, sometimes it was only for a few minutes. But the conversation was always the same: Orion crying and saying how sorry he was. A tear slipped down my cheek as I recalled the night he killed her, and all the conversations over all the years I had been privy to witness. I calmed my inner emotions, steadied my breathing, and spoke the words out loud “As it shall be from the heavens, let it be from the depths. From
MORGAN Three days ago, we left for the Kodiak Kingdom. Kian, Tobias, Finn a dozen warriors ran beside the convoy as an insurance to make sure we weren’t ambushed again. Thankfully we weren’t. It was nice being back here at the Clan Mansion. However, unlike before this didn’t feel like home. When I first arrived in the Kodiak Kingdom, I thought this would be my home. That I would never see my stubborn wolfman again. How quickly that notion changed – For the better. I didn’t ever think I would be this happy, or that my life would turn out this good at the beginning of our journey. It started out rocky between Kian and I. Truth is I thought he was the biggest unemotional and detached shifter I had ever met. Slowly, or as slowly a few weeks would allow, I caved to his quiet and brooding charm. I thank the gods every day that we somehow found our way to each other. If I hadn’t of gone to Riocht, I wonder if Kian would have ever come looking for me. Or if his insecurities would have ke
HUNJI/KIAN I leap into the thick of the battle, swords drawn, roaring out a battle cry as I do. The edge of my blade slices the first challenger that dares to attack. I turn, cutting down one enemy after the other, the human scents and scents of a foreign pack determining who is friend, and who is foe. Though there are not many wolves amongst the Kodiak Clan so they are easier to spot. I hear the crack of a whip behind me the sound of dirt bikes rushing to where I’m fighting, gaining my attention. They get closer and I bend at the knee. Holding my swords out and cutting the rider’s legs on either side of me. The whooshing sound of something heavy moving through the air, has me looking up where an identical net to the one they had Finn under, flies above my head. My arm moves, drawing my sword vertically. I dash forward and watch with amazement as the tip of the blade meets the blanket of poison. A red hue emanates from the steel as if it just came fresh from the fires of a forge.
JONDA A PROLOGUE TO: THE BETA AND JEWEL THIEF - BOOK 6 I left the Kodiak Kingdom early today, not wanting to outstay my welcome. I was disappointed but not surprised that Morgan couldn’t reverse the curse. I had hoped to gain my wolf fully. They say you can’t miss what you never had, but that’s an outright lie. I had a wolf, one that was bound inside me, one that was there but I couldn’t communicate with her. I couldn’t shift and I couldn’t use her abilities. I was almost as good as human. I was faster than a human, had better hearing, and healed better than a human could. But I wasn’t a shifter, not even close. I longed for the day I could meet my wolf and shift. Run through the forest and feel the wind in her fur. It never bothered me as much as it has since I met Mike. The Royal Beta to the werewolf kingdom. I know we weren’t fated mates, if we were then he and his wolf would know. But that didn’t stop us from falling in love. He wanted to take me as his chosen mate, and I want

I smiled politely, “Have you ever been here?” I ask him, deflecting from answ
HUNJI Day 3 of the quest I had been given by our Queen, Lamia: To find the witch Morgan, Finnegan’s sister, and bring her home. I was already a day behind, the truck I had been given by the now Alpha Jasper of Bhakhil, broke down yesterday morning. Causing me to run in wolf form, find a cave in the foothills of the Andora mountain range and rest for the night. At first light I shifted into my wolf, letting Ruda lead the way, once again. Some hours later, well into the late afternoon, we had made our way to the first city, only a couple of hundred miles outside the capital where the Megaron was situated in Bozgvol. I shifted back into my human form behind a house on the outskirts and threw on the loose pair of pants I had stuffed in my backpack, fastening the retractable vest that held my swords. It had been years since I had traveled through Andora, 9 to be exact. Andora was a beautiful and rich country, surrounded by a border of low-laying mountains rich with quartz. most structur
14 YEARS AGO – Hunji 18 years old HUNJI I woke up in bed alone. Disappointed that Divya’s side of the bed was cold yet again. Huffing out in annoyance at her absence, I threw back the covers getting out of bed. I had initially woken with a smile on my face. But that insanely happy feeling diminished once I discovered, and not for the first time my mate’s spot was empty. I met Divya six months ago, a few weeks after I had turned 18, and was visiting Ishmel, a city outside of the capital of the kingdom Eririat. She was the daughter of lord Bijan, the Alpha of that city, and my father had been invited to talk politics, among other things. He had insisted my older brother Rostam and I accompany him. ‘It is good rapport and when you become king you will need these connections and the backing of the noble packs’ is what he had said to us. An outsider would think he was a good father bringing his sons to important meetings and teaching them how to be good leaders so early on. If only they
HUNJI The next day I wake early and begin making my way to the capital. I managed to pay a man who was commuting to Bozgvol, who just so happened to be staying at the same inn I was. He was traveling there in hopes to trade his goods for a big payday to help his wife and soon-be-born child. So, I know the few gold coins I gave him would be welcomed. I throw my pack and swords in the back of the truck and climb in the front seat with him. “Where ya heading too young man?” He asks as he pulls out onto the dusty road. The old truck bounced and spewed out a dark cloud of fumes behind us. “To Bozgvol,” I reply, offering him little more. I wasn’t interested in making small talk. He wasn’t doing me a favor. Quite the opposite. I had done him a favor by paying him handsomely for a ride. I didn’t pay him for the conversation. I sigh at my own rudeness and offer him a smile even though his eyes are on the road. “I’m heading to the Megaron. I’m looking for someone.” I give him a little more t
