Stuck between the Royal Wolves Chapter One
RAYAI had been watching the house for a while when the boom of thunder echoed over the dark rims of the overcast sky.“Shit,” I swore under my breath, hefting the rucksack of groceries from the flea market higher over my shoulder and jerking the leather hood of my father’s old trench coat over my face.I must not have been quick enough, because the whoosh of wind whipping back the hood as I darted across the garbage-strewn streets on my tiptoes had me letting out an embarrassing scream.I clamped a hand over my mouth, my eyes wide as I glanced at the house again, feeling for all the world like I had sung a bad rendition of donkey kong.Had he heard me? Images of the stout beefcake of a man and the imposing deep V of his eyebrows flashed before my eyes as I fiddled with the back door lock on the cottage house as the patter of rain pounded noisily behind me.My heart beat a frantic rhythm in my chest when I realized the tapping noise I’d heard earlier was the sound of footsteps.

RAYAI had startled awake before I realized the pounding sound coming from the oak wood of my room door had stopped.“What the hell?” I growled still grouchy, rubbing my eyes to look about the room when my gaze caught on the clear blue of my father’s eyes.I jolted, scurrying back into the sheets with a whimper rising in my throat.“Finally decided to grace us with your presence Aye? Fucking bitch! Get up!” He mused before roaring toward me, the tall bulk of his frame tight around his stomach before I felt his hands tighten on my neck.“Please father,” I wheezed, beating at his large hands as stars appeared in my vision.“You see this whore? This is the summons to the Alpha’s palace! And guess why it came today? Because you are a stupid little cunt who can’t get anything right!” He bellowed, brandishing the neat white of a paper I couldn’t read, only noticing how white it looked compared to the yellowed plate of his nail bed.My heart beat a jagged rhythm in my chest as I wracked my m

RAYA BANKS“No! Wait!” I gasped, feeling my hands shoot out to reach for the man a split second before the iron clasp of his royal guards jerked me back, the metal pound of iron clashing on my head and sending me into the darkness at breakneck speed. The sound of voices drifting from the spaces in the wood door when I came to was almost deafening.Where was I? I cracked an eye open, fighting the darkness that was pressing down heavily on my eyelids when I caught the tall shadow of a man standing over me, the wolf of his scent so overpowering it couldn’t have been anything but royal blood.“Y-your majesty,” I rasped, struggling to my knees and managing to look up at the man, the glint of his claws half-hidden in his tunic cuff catching my eye and I gulped reflexively.“You disappoint me, Banks, I could have taken you as mistress you know? Put you on your good little throne beside mine in the throne room dias. This futile struggling, it is...appalling.” He hissed and I gritted my teeth

NIKOLAII had a half-dead woman in my arms and an itch in the back of my throat.“Who is she?” Igor asked with an air of mischief I was accustomed to, and I turned to glare at the roguish-looking man with a smirk playing on his purple lips.“I haven't the faintest idea Igor, prepare the horses, we’re going back to my Stone city castle.” I breathed over my shoulder at my best man, letting my eyes roam over the woman’s bare neck, the thin gold chain of a necklace caught my eye.It was the same kind I had stretched in a tight ring around my neck. The kind the moon goddess had given me the night of my first wolfing.My breath caught in my throat when I realized what it meant. “Are you certain Nikolai? Your father would be quite upset,” Igor tempered with a hint of warning in his throaty voice that sent shivers down my spine.Upset would have been putting it lightly for the King. My father would be livid, I could almost imagine him blowing a vein in his forehead when the concierge gave hi

RAYAIt had always been the same, my nightmares of the woman in the red hood with claws for hands and her bloodied fangs extended dangerously from her twig-thin lips.My mother had never said anything to me when she chased me through the fog, the crimson of her cape bleeding in and out of view until my breathing seized in my throat and I snapped awake.Again and Again, night after night up until today, when I felt the thud of my heart pounding into the soft cushion of a comforter I felt under my back as her words rang in my mind’s ear.“Run,” The woman had whispered when she’d suddenly burst through the fog to grip me with burning hands, her hot breath scalding my face.My mouth fell open as I peered into the empty sockets where her eyes should have been, before I felt the weight of my body shoot up, gasping and twisting awake as a chill clawed at the seat of my spine.“Are you alright miss?” A disembodied voice boomed so close to my ear that I let out a banshee scream, throwing my ha

ALPHA NIKOLAI“Fucking hell,” I cursed under my breath as I shut the door behind me, catching my bottom lip between my teeth as the ringing in my ears faded and I spread out the wrinkled paper between my fingers.Rays Banks, the daughter of a merchant tailor from the main city was wanted for absconding from the royal palace.I balled the paper in my hand, gritting my teeth as the implications ran through my mind.My brother was as merciless as he was ugly, but you would never tell from his dastardly good looks, the straight line of his spine, and the lopsided smirk that seemed to be permanently etched on the line of his bow-shaped lips.I knew how the village maidens daydreamed of him in the fields and farms, wishing for a dark prince that would whisk them from their sad little lives, up until he pressed the pointy tip of his sword at their throats.He would not give up easily, not without a fight. It didn't help in the least bit that I was spoiling for one.I cast my thoughts back to

RAYA BANKSI shifted my weight on the soft comforter of the bed uneasily. The longer the maid girl stood at the threshold of the silver-lined room, the more I struggled to clamp down on the urge to bite into my finger beds, the stretch of silence hanging like a maiden’s tits in the space between us.”Judith was it?” I croaked, managing to clear out the rubbish at the last syllable and affecting a measly charge of authority in the time it took the girl to look up and nod dutifully, staring at me through the heavily-lashed rims of her soulful eyes.I shifted again, glancing around the richly-dressed space and feeling like a brown-nosed donkey in a wedding dress as the unease settled like lead in my belly.“I’ll draw you a bath Miss, it’s almost time for dinner,” Judith voiced suddenly, startling me into what felt like a disembodied nod, grateful when she disappeared into the washroom and left me alone with my thoughts.Had Nikolai filed that under her list of duties as well? The though

RAYA“What the hell is that?” I coaxed, hardly trusting myself to breathe as I exchanged wide-eyed looks with the slack-jawed handmaiden.It had stopped almost as soon as it started, the shrill noise of a woman’s scream that felt like it was coming from outside our doors. My hands shook as they shot out to grip the cowl of the girl’s maiden smock, forcing her back into a squat as she rose to go.“No! Judith, it might be dangerous! We don't know what’s out there!” I whispered harshly, searching the twin black pools of her eyes that seemed to lack emotion. I would have thought the lady quite strange, if I hadn't heard the rapid thudding of her heart under my iron grasp.”I’m sure it’s not a big deal miss, these things happen sometimes around these here parts,” She started, and I blanched instantly, snatching my hands away from her bodice as she had just told me she liked her coffee cold and stumbling back into the tub, feeling the soap suds of the water flop and slosh about me.Not a b
