Queen Antionette's POV"Are you ready to talk?" I kneeled down and asked my mate, Lincoln.He stared blankly at me not uttering a word."Your grace, I'm trying to help. I'm sorry that it had to be taken by force but you wouldn't listen to reason," I said hoping to gain a reaction.Nothing.Silence."My lord, I am your mate! Say something, damnit!" I shouted only earning a glare from him.Nothing.Silence.Frustration fell over me faster than I thought it would."I need you to sign these. Turn over the kingdom to Lawrence. His eighteenth birthday is quickly approaching. You must know we have the best interest of the kingdom," I explained.I watched him look to each side of him at the shackles that bonded him."Those are precautionary," I replied stepping away the moment he began struggling against his shackles in anger.I stood back terrified at his actions and his half shifted demeanor. With one swoop, I saw Beta Vincent force feed his brother wolfsbane."That's enough! Are you trying
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 40: JEALOUSY
Ruby's POVI readied myself to roll out of bed after having nightmares of the night I murdered McKenna's parents. It wasn't supposed to go that far. I just wanted to get information to use against Queen Antionette. After all, she had taken so much from me starting with the heart of my mate."What's going on in your pretty little head, woman?" Vincent asked sliding in the bed behind me. "I was attempting to get out of this bed," I groaned. "Your parents are here," he whispered. "Why?" I asked annoyed. "Your mother wanted to check on our newest addition," he said rubbing my round belly. "This is our third child. Speaking of, that you g wolf from the market claiming to be your son, who's he?" I asked realizing we never got to the bottom of it. "He is none of your concern, my love," Vincent dismissively said. "Not again. Tell me what I ask it I'll find another at your find out," I threatened. "Something tells me that you already have," he said aggravated standing to his feet in frustratio
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 41: HAUNTING FROM THE GRAVE
Lawrence's POVThese stupid nightmares about Matilda nightmares will not stop. I miss her dearly and starting to regret the force I used to make her submit to me. Father always made it look so easy. I was drawn out of my thoughts when I spotted Beta Vincent in the throne room talking with one of the Dukes. I'm sure it was one of our allies that we have somehow come to sway to our side. Those not willing to yield during my rule will be dealt with accordingly."Are you ready for your coronation?" Beta Vincent asked smelling of yesterday's ale and blood. "I was born for this. Tonight, we celebrate two things, my birthday and me becoming King," I boasted. "Indeed young pup. I'll go get cleaned up," he bowed and walked away.An odd thought crossed my mind. Ruby said she would prepare lavender and sage arrangements to wish me good luck but I had not seen her."Where's Lady Ruby? She has been absent all morning as have you," I pointed out. "She wasn't at breakfast but she wasn't in our quart
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 42: TRUST ISSUES
Matilda's POVAfter my parents left with my great grandmother, Gertrude, I've been sort of lonely. I routinely went to the market every third day of the week. It was mainly to receive some sort of contact with the outside world. Without Olly and Marlo here to keep me company it has just been me and Quinn after Jonah begged to depart to Valaris too. Quinn easily made friends so I did not see much of her.Making friends was always difficult for me until Tavi and me became friends. I was usually shy and reserved with a bubbly personality a the same time. I think other wolves were just unsure of what they would be getting with me. I usually attract the wrong crowd. Speaking of wrong crowd, Karly, Daisy, and their three male followers, Amos, Archie, and William were quickly approaching me. They were so annoying!"Hey ya'll! Look, it the rejected!" Daisy joked at my expense. "You have to be pathetic to be rejected by your mate," Karly chimed in making them all laugh with the exception of A
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 43: IT'S MY FAULT
Beta Vincent's POVI searched tirelessly trying to find the scent of my mate. When she didn't answer my many attempts to mindlink her my heart nearly jumped out of my chest. I could barely feel her through our bond but her scent permeated within my nose. The dark and hall of the palace that hadn't been seriously used since the Queen Lenora era is where my senses took me."RUBY! MY RUBY!" I stumbled coming upon my mate who was barely breathing.Blood.So much blood."Ruby, stay with me, baby. Please! Don't die on me!" I said simultaneously calling for the royal physician.I didn't give a shit what he was doing he us better stop what he was doing to come my mates aid."Ruby? Ruby!" I continued to shake her frail body. "V-Vincent," she croaked with her eyes still closed. "Baby," she gestured weakly trying to point toward her swollen belly. "Our pup will be okay. What happened? You're bleeding, baby. Is it our pup? Is it trying to come early? What happened, my love? I'm so sorry I wasn't
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 44: IF NOT HER, THEN YOU
Queen Antionette's POV"It's been an entire week with no leads. This is awful," I said to my mother. "Calm yourself child and focus on what's in front of you. This could be the perfect distraction! While Vincent is distracted with his missing pup, take everything from under him," my mother urged. "That's insensitive even for me," I glared at her. "Do you think that vile wolf would waste a second mourning for your lost child?" she asked.I fell quiet contemplating all the moves I've already made. She was right. Beta Vincent would be rid of me in my time of mounting if it were so."The night we found out about Ruby, I had Ruby's mother followed when she kept disappearing. I found her arguing with Phillip who seemed to have no idea of the paternity of the pup. Now, he's destroyed or pissed off. One of the two. How did her mother know? Maybe Ruby told her," my mother shrugged. "Wow," I replied. "Why do I get the feeling you're hiding something from me?" she asked cocking an eyebrow. "I su
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 45: ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT
Violet's POV My father, the king went missing some time ago and things in the land have not been the same. The only thing that has kept me sane is being here with my mate again for yet another holiday. I probably create excuses to see him more often than not. With everything that happened with Beta Vincent and Ruby's stolen pup, I couldn't take anymore bad news. "Have you told anyone?" my mate, Alpha Killian asked dragging me from my spiraling thoughts. "Huh?" I asked dumbfounded. "You're so cute when you play oblivious," he chuckled but I was honestly confused. Being in the kingdom of Koda with my mate has been amazing the last two days. He's been such a gentleman as always. I am to accompany him to the winter ball where he will show me off as his mate and make official announcement to his pack. I am to celebrate my eighteenth birthday tonight too. "Your mother the Queen has postponed Prince Lawrence's coronation that was happening tonight in the light of the king's disappearance
SUBMISSION: Rise of the Bastards CHAPTER 46: TIME TO GO
Octavia's POVAfter another aggressive training session with Koda's warriors, I was exhausted. Fighting helped my mind free itself of my crumbling family and nonexistent love life. I promised to avenge them all and my plan to do that came faster than I thought it would."Hello, mate," Lex from the Kingdom of Tirado said interrupting my high. "Alpha," I bowed ignoring his comment. "Aww, you wound me. Aren't you at least a little happy to see me?" he chuckled coming closer to me. "Alpha Lexington, every time you come to visit me here have I ever shown interest? Let's not fool ourselves," I said walking in the opposite direction. "Well, my future mistress, Taysia thinks I should give up on whatever this dance we are doing is," he smirked. "I cannot believe I am saying this but I agree with the bimbo," I replied. "Why do you wish to defy and deny me?" he angrily growled pinning me down on the side of the castle. "Because you are a monster! I will not give you an heir nor will I lay with y
