Chapter 10. The Crimson Blood-Hounds
Chapter 10. The Crimson Blood-Hounds
"Remember the name of the wolf who will defeat you." Lorcan Whitelaw, had howled viciously at me through his wolf form. It wasn't a battle I had been intending to have to fight. It wasn't even a battle I was expecting to have to fight.
This was- er, had been my Beta.
My second in command. The one within the Pack who had held my most trust and confidence... the one to whom I had told everthing. No Alpha ever wants to have to admit it to any fellow Pack member when they have any sense of genuine fear about, well, really any given situation. No Alpha wants to have his Pack believe that they wouldn't have any threatening or harmful sitaution under control.Yet, the very real and terrifying threat that the re-emergance of the Dark Ones' had brought with it, an ominous cloud of dread for what was

Chapter 11. Angel of Death I tried to open my eyes but they were so heavy. As heavy as my chest felt, as it heaved attempting to, simply, get air into my lungs; just breathing each breath was accompanied by a piercing, stabbing, pain in my side and back My body was too heavy to move. I had been certain that I had heard footsteps, and then heard talking. It was a bell-like voice which I had heard. I was so sure I heard it. Once something began shaking my shoulder lightly, with all the strength which remained in my body I willed my eyes to open. They had truly felt, like lifting concrete shutters. My body was fighting against all of my movments. The scent of blood whafted strongly all around... it was my blood. Unmistakeably. I was aware of just how injured I was. How much Lorcan had layed into me with each claw and each of his bite
The Alpha & The Harpy Chapter 12. It is your kingdom
Chapter 12. It is your kingdom At the same time, as Sephora taking a flight out of the Raven Kingdom, and over to the Ancient Forest, to calm her mind and straighten out her thoughts, Lyla the young servant harpy was helping Seraphina finish her hair and make-up before the late lunch, where the twin princesses were supposed to have their formal introductions with the suitable male bachelors who had already arrived so far. Really, Seraphina had used the exercise of finishing getting dressed and ready for the occasion, as an excuse to talk to Lyla honestly and frankly. Among all the servants, Lyla had remained in the castle a short while now. With their mother’s cruel and cold disposition, alongside her temper many servants often quit, died or went missing after several months. Being of similar ages with Seraphina and Sephora, the twins always entrusted her and spoke
The Alpha & The Harpy Chapter 13. Where IS she?
Chapter 13. Where IS she? Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. The eldest of the, Raven Harpy twins, princesses thought. With each step Seraphina took down the hallway, to the right and then left at the opening at the end of the hallway, headed towards the formal dining room. She was steeling herself against her own warring thoughts, which were whirling in her head. With tidal wave, after tidal wave of differing emotions slamming from her heart into her stomach. This is my kingdom. She echoed the words Lyla had quite passionately uttered. Seraphina was playing them back to herself in a loop. Not the entire conversation, just the stark realisation and the emotion that accompanied that… the feeling and realisation that today also marked the beginning of the twin sisters becoming one step closer to one day being a Queen themselves. Ser
The Alpha & The Harpy Chapter 14. Belle of The Room
Chapter 14. Belle of The Room An eery silence set upon the room at Lady Nox’s tense words. That the Raven Queen would have to ask where her daughter is; more so, her least favourite between the two Raven Harpy Princesses. Despite the fact she was smiling, there was a tension in her jaw which made it a lopsided smile – more befitting an esteemed general than a Queen. It was while Lord Fielder, Lord Easton and Lady Cassandra were looking over at her, at this point, where they all simultaneously recalled her position and holding in Raven Harpy society before she had been mated to the Raven King. She had been his most esteemed and decorated war general. They had fought side by side on the battlefield with each other, which is the only reason that she was allowed as a commoner to be considered eligible to as a mate for the Raven King. This is s
The Alpha & The Harpy Chapter 15. Broken & Bloody Desserts
Chapter 15. Broken & Bloody Deserts Despite being the youngest of the twins, there wasn’t much difference separating the physical capabilities of Sephora and Seraphina. They were both strong, intelligent, and well trained young ladies. Lady Nox herself undertook their combat and sparring training and no less would be expected, than the ruler of the Raven Kingdom herself training her own daughter – who would one day take her place as the Harpy Clan leader. The additional weight of a fully grown male human cause a delay in Sephora’s flying by at least one-third of her usual capabilities. This caused the younger, twin princess more time than she had anticipated the return journey would have taken. Then again, Sephora hadn’t expected there to be swathes of the ancient forest demolished; either by some incident or by some unspeakable act, possibly an act of aggression or a declaration of war if it was not natural… and the younger twin had the sense that it was no natural disaster. H
The Alpha & The Harpy Chapter 16. Evasive Action
Chapter 16. Evasive Action Just as Maven had expected of her, within mere moments of her own shriek and Donivan brief outburst, Lady Nox had made her way into the kitchen with a haste. “Do pray tell…” Her words were low with base. While they she was, by all accounts testing the those staff in the kitchen, “…just what is going on in this kitchen…” a blatant and daring threat was laced within them, “…to warrant such an outburst from, not one but both of you, so loudly that our guests could hear and began asking questions?” Combined with the pitch-black vehemence that could only glower from the Raven Queen’s pure black iris’. While Seraphina shared a very close resemblance to her mother, thus being dubbed the, “black diamond,” or “dark gem,” of the Raven Harpy Clan; the elder twin princess
The Alpha & The Harpy Chapter 17. The Dining Room
Chapter 17. The Dining Room Echoes of a sharp and shrieking scream had pierced through the chatter in the dining room. Both that of the adults and that of the young harpies this had been intended for; for them to be able to meet and get to know one another before possibly being mated for life. “…Is…everything okay?” It was young Master Lucas who broke the silence to ask the question. Lady Nox looked extremely embarrassed and mortified with a stabbing twist of anger that contorted her features. It looked very unbecoming for a lady of her stature but no one dared say anything else. Yet, everyone in the room wondered what was going on. Young Master Fenn of the Tawny Harpies had looked inquiring and inquisitively at Seraphina for an answer. She had just shrugged in response to the question which had been

Chapter 18. He Is Not Human. He Is Not Dead. Meanwhile, back in the Noble District of the Raven Kingdom, Sephora had just finished her shower and stepped out of the basin. Grabbing one of the Doctor’s fresh towels from the cupboard inside the shower room. This was very unlike the large baths that the castle had. A lovely steaming soak in the bathing chamber would have went perfectly to help relax after such a scary fright, seeing the ancient forest have a whole section of it destroyed! Then being covered in blood and wrecking her favourite, normal looking velvet black dress and worse, causing Maven and Donivan a fright seeing her appear in a very worrying looking state. It had been Maven’s quick thinking that sent Sephora down to the Nobles District to find the Doctor, known as Ingram. He sometimes worked on medical calls to the castle, so the youn
