It was the only way to ensure my family's release. Even though Roman was my father's ally he wasn't my own and he still held the promissory note my father had signed years ago stating I'd wed his daughter. When I arrived after finally ending mister Jack I was elated until the guards told me I'd been expected. Kiely was very beautiful but she wasn't my mate and when she came into the office she kissed me like we were long-lost lovers. She was very experienced and I knew instantly she'd laid with others before my arrival. I held her at a distance and asked her to stop touching me. Kiely gave me a pout and sat down in the chair next to the empty one. I glared at the smug Alpha and sat down in the chair in front of his desk as we negotiated the release of my pack members and family. "I'm giving Violet Wilson back to her husband Jack Wilson. Jack explained to me that she ran off because she was having an affair with you," he chuckled and continued."I've met her and her son whom Jack is
Roman reluctantly agreed to my offer and I cringed hearing his daughter squealing in excitement. Roman brought out a file and pushed it toward me across the desk."That explains that in case of my death you become Alpha of my pack and my child Luna," he grunted and handed me a pen. Roman called for Glen and told him he needed the document notarized. I clicked the pen and read the entire document, making sure I read the fine print. I exhaled deeply and signed the paper. I watched it become notarized and felt Kiely at my side, rubbing her breast against my arm. The guard Glen was glaring at her with a frown on his face and I glanced between the pair."She's trying everything to get a rise from that fellow there," my Lycan growled and I grinned slightly. I had a mate already and being wed to another wouldn't change it. I desired only one woman and she would be safe on my lands with our pup. "Alright, now you both sign this and you'll be wed on paper. A ceremony will be held later," Alph
My eyes cracked open and I felt a sharp sting of an injection in my arm. The second one that I'd been aware of. As my vision came into focus I saw a woman scowling at me."Who are you?" I asked curiously. The woman's eyes widened and she looked at the man in exuberance."It worked Randall, I can't believe that propranolol worked!" She was chuckling, kissing the man's cheek. "She will need regular injections for it to hold but the other serum will only be needed a few more times," the man growled. She turned back to face me and my eyes narrowed."You're 713 and my house slave. You were injured and have been brought back from the brink of death from silver poisoning," the familiar woman said as she lifted my arm showing me my brand. Some of what she said seemed legit. I remember preparing food and had a fuzzy recollection of being branded. I was pulled to an upright position and rubbed my heavy eyes. I felt like I'd woken from a long nap. My upper thigh I could feel was wrapped in band
We lived in a small community of rogues. The rogues would watch me as I traveled to the wood pile, making me feel uncomfortable with their glares. I figured it was because I smelled rancid and was horribly deformed since being told that daily by Isabella. I ignored her berating words and just worked harder. It was another day of hauling in wood through several feet of mushy, thawing snow. I had a limp due to my leg injury. It was the last few days of February and I was praying daily to whichever God would hear me to bring spring. Thankfully it was melting and purple crocus were beginning to break through the thawing ground preparing to bloom making me smile.I'd been receiving monthly injections and was informed by doctor Randall that it was what was keeping me alive. My back burned being recently whipped yet again by the lady of the house for not getting the laundry dried in time. I wiped my brow. Dirty, hungry, and tired. I didn't get the chance to bathe properly due to not havin
I rushed upstairs to tell my boy to behave while Michael and I went to get his mother. "Fillan," I said sternly and my young son turned his head to look up at me. I sat down next to the quickly growing child and gently patted his bare back."Michael and I are going to go and possibly bring back your mother if it's indeed her. I need you to help Mabel out here and behave," I said softly and watched his big brown eyes widen."Okay daddy, I'll be good for auntie," he said staunchly and grinned at me. I ruffled his blonde hair and told him to give me a hug. The small child jumped into my arms and I squeezed him."Love you, little pup," I mumbled sincerely and Fillan told me he loved me too. My heart swelled and I stood."Don't run off too far, son. The rogues are still around," I said firmly and he nodded. I waved to him before heading back downstairs to get my uncle Michael. My other uncle Jazz had headed back to his home after giving up on winning the heart of Mabel. I spotted my uncle
My tiny mate looked deathly ill and it hurt me physically. I followed after the pack doctor wanting to know more about the memory-erasing drug Violet was given."Excuse me, sir, will Luna regain good memories or the bad ones first?" I asked with concern. He rubbed his chin and shrugged."It's hard to say, Alpha. Normally whatever the person feels the most worried about comes to the surface first but eventually, other things return to their minds but not completely. Hopefully, Luna's wolf awakens and helps her piece together all that has happened to her and cleans her silver poisoning," he said firmly and I exhaled deeply. I rubbed my eyes in frustration knowing our past relationship was filled with misery for her and silver poisoning caused aggressive behaviors. Fillan came out of the kitchen eating a sandwich."What's wrong with mommy, she fell asleep when she saw me," he asked me with a full mouth. I lifted him into my arms and asked him why he wasn't in bed."Hungry. I wanted a sna
The pack doctor had stopped by when the two Lycans left and gave me a second boost. The injection rushed through my system and I thanked the man for his help. He nodded happily and Mabel and I both watched him leave out the back. I stood with Mabel looking out into the trees when a bright clarity filled my mind. I narrowed my eyes at the odd feeling."I'm awake but weak," a voice spoke within my mind. "You're my wolf, Sierra?" I questioned and she replied yes. I grinned slightly and Mabel elbowed me."Your aura is back, Luna, and very powerful. Are your memories as well?" She asked me. I thought about it and nodded."Yes, they're in my mind. I'm going to ask my mate why he wed another," I mumbled sourly. Mabel chuckled and told me to give him hell. A pile of clothing came through the foliage on a pair of child's legs and I rushed to Fillan. I tossed him up into the air and spun him around."Love you, my dear son," I told him as he laughed joyfully."Where did you go? Your father and
I ran my hands over my face in frustration with my mate. "She's changed, something about her is stronger and her desire for a love bond has increased tenfold. If we want her you must allow yourself to give her your heart," Auberon growled within my subconscious. I frowned and looked up at Harkin coming up the back patio getting ready to knock. I waved him to enter."What have you discovered?" I asked curiously."Well, that you chased off Luna once again," he teased and I rubbed my eyes."I meant about the wolves turning into bloodsuckers," I growled and Harkin chuckled."It's caused by the injection and is being used mostly on rogues. The pack doctor wants you to watch Luna for any strange behavior she might display because he believes that Randall infected her with the vampire gene," he told me carefully and I gritted my teeth."I've noticed her desire for a love bond has increased substantially, not certain if that's a concern," I mumbled softly and Harkin rolled his eyes."All fem
