Argghh! We all know Shayna was much older than Tala, older enough to have a child with Senko. Did you see it coming? Shayna - Senko - Petra? I hope you are enjoying the book so far. Let me know what you think xx
LYRIC We had only been back a week and already King Kellen was sending me out on a mission again. Taking me away from my son yet again. Even when I was pulling a heist and working for Miko, I had never spent this much time away from him. I understood, I was the link between those who knew Shadow. The person who knew the workings of the underground more than most. Still, I didn’t like the idea of leaving him again, especially as the threat to him was increasing. And especially as I saw firsthand what Shadow could do. The evidence of his power was probably still scattered around the Golden Circle pack's border, and it still lingered in Jonda. The black veins that plagued her had almost vanished, fading to a deep hue of pink. Not fully gone but receded. Still, she lay unmoving, the child in her womb growing and Rhett by her side. It didn’t look good for the female. Supposedly, once marked by her mate her wolf was meant to emerge. There is yet to see any evidence of that. Truth be t
MIKE “I’m so done with this shit,” I tell Kellen rubbing my tired eyes. We had been in his office all frickin’ day after Lamia’s proclamation that she was going to hunt down Senko and then Mathias's phone call. All I wanted to do was go back to my childhood room and drown my sorrows, reflect on my misgivings. even letting Duke out for a good run would be better than going over documents and maps. Personally, I thought we were being a bit premature. Tyron had been questioning our prisoner. Twenty-Nine. We let the prisoner stew for a few days in one of our least comfortable cells below the palace. Tyron was still working on obtaining valuable information from him. But the creature had been holding strong against any method we had currently used. I wanted to question him myself. Maybe my methods would be a little more persuasive. But noo! Kellen had me here strategizing against an army of more weird fucking creatures. Because Crawlers weren’t enough. I call them creatures because
LYRIC After leaving Queen Tala with Rogue, I headed out of the indoor training grounds. Still feeling full of energy. ‘Let me run.’ Note said, she too was needing to expel some energy. I looked at the tree line in the not-so-far distance just beyond one of the royal gardens, ‘Okay’ I told her, internally smiling when I could feel her excitement and her tail mentally wagged at the prospect of stretching her legs. I hurried to the trees and looked around. Finding no one near I peeled off my shorts and sports bra, shivering at the icy cold air, and shifted into Note. Note shook her fur out, lifted her nose, and scented the air, taking in deep breaths of our surroundings. Then, like a bolt of lightning, she was off. Dashing through the snow-covered ground, heading deeper into the forest. Weaving between trees and ducking under fallen trunks. It was exhilarating, just the feel of the dense wind rippling through her fur as her paws pounded against the crunching ground. The trees becam
MIKE I watch Lyrics wolf retreat wanting nothing more than to chase after her again and sink my cock into her tight channel. I groan swiping my hand roughly over my face and looking down at my still very erect and desperate cock. I must be a glutton for punishment for torturing myself in this way. Not that I didn’t enjoy it. I very much enjoyed touching Lyric and her body was so responsive to mine. Would I have liked things to be taken further? Fuck yes! I knew she wasn’t ready though. Baby steps. I needed to be slow and understanding - to move at her pace. No matter how much I wanted to shove understanding out the window and stomp all over it. When she was ready, I would make her mine. The last thing I expected when I left Kellen in his office with Tala, placating my wolf's urge to go out for a run, was to find Lyrics wolf deep in the forest playing around. Duke and I watched her frolic around for a few moments until the slight breeze that weaved between the trees changed direc
LYRIC The next morning, I woke up earlier than usual. I think I was still on a high from what transpired between Beta Mike and I last night. I still couldn’t believe how receptive I was to him and his touch. This time, I wasn’t scared or apprehensive about what he would expect. I never knew being touched in that way could be so… So thrilling. And tiring. I had no idea having an orgasm as hard as I came could zap the energy right out of you. It was so much different than when I explored myself. So much so, that I wouldn’t be opposed to it happening again. This thought and the actions of the beta from last night had me wearing a rare smile. A goofy one at that. I watched myself, and examined myself, as I brushed my long hair in the mirror after getting out of the shower. The goofy smile was still on my face. I peered closer trying to remember the last time I had worn a smile as genuine as the one I wore now. Except for when it came to Zane, I really couldn’t remember. That was a sa
MIKE I managed to push the morning meeting to the back of my mind. Determined to enjoy my day with Lyric and Zane. I took them to New Moons city, only a short drive from the palace to a shopping center that housed many different stores and plenty of clothing places for pups. Several times Lyric tried to pay for things and several times I had to tell her to put her money away. I was the Royal Beta and made plenty of money plus this was my mate and her child. There was no way I would let them pay for anything. We left the shopping center loaded down with bags full of clothes and toys for Zane because honestly, I just couldn’t say no to the kid. His excitement at being able to pick out some of his own clothes, and seeing all the toys, was just too much. I would have brought him everything his little eyes landed on if I had my way, but Lyric put her foot down. “Is that an ice cream place?” Zane asks me, pointing across the road. “It is,” I tell him, and he grabs my hand, dropping Lyr
LYRIC A shrill chill traveled down my spine when the door swung open. Revealing the empty and cold entry to the single-story brick home I shared with Zane for the past three years. We left New Moon early this morning and made it to the boroughs several hours later. It was now dark and quite late. We had eight warriors that followed behind the car Mike, and I were in. King Kellen didn’t think it was wise for us to travel alone. There were no hotels out this way, so I suggested they all camp out in my house. At least for the night. Tomorrow we were going to head towards the small town that Miko ran and then onto the location where this rogue Oliver had given them the location to the transcript of the epitaph, I had secured a few years ago and some diaries Mike said were important. The ride here was very informative. Mike caught me up on what’s been going on as well as a little history about Queen Lamia, King Kellen, and himself. He disclosed the intel of the stones, or at least what
LYRIC We pulled up outside of Miko’s bar. The first thing I noticed is the lack of noise and lights. Yet several vehicles and bikes are parked outside. Some I recognize as being regulars and others that belong to Miko’s men. It was quiet. Too quiet. Note stirs and I feel her uneasiness mingle with mine. Something wasn’t right. I grasp the handle of the car and am about to swing the door open when Mike's large hand latches onto my wrist pulling back. “Wait.” He commands me and I sit back frowning. “Is it always this… desolate?” “No.” I shake my head in reply. “Somethings not right. It’s too quiet.” “Duke feels uneasy. I know you know this place but let’s air on the side of caution. Keep your mind link open.” He’s not looking at me but out the window on my side of the car. His eyes scanned the area, jaw tight. His wolf was alert and peeking through, just like Note – on alert. Attentive to our surroundings. Mike gets out of the car and walks around opening my door. Once I step out h
