Finally, I posted the Epilogue! Hopefully, this gives you a little more clarification on Ashe and Ascena's goal from the very beginning and how Lamia played into the story from the very beginning. And now what is to come of Lamia and Kellen? And the child Seneca!!! (note the anagram) The bonus chapter for book seven will be posted this week also. I can tell you there will be a time jump, and we will see a lot more of Travis. Is Oliver going to come back? Maybe...
Bonus chapter for: Rise of the Hunters – Book 7 RHETT 3 Years Later MacTire held my heart, but I couldn’t help visiting the borough I grew up in when out in the field. Recruiting new Enforcers for the INE. I found myself missing the familiarity of the streets. The people – half human, half shifter. Most without a spirit animal. A town, us half breeds built, grew, and protected. Hunters as Lamia called us but was a hunter? The town wasn’t big, but it was a place where half-breeds gathered – safety in numbers - we had become a close-knit community. Even still, we were constantly heckled and subject to the packs that surrounded us. Always trying to strong-arm our community or take what they thought belonged to them. Hybrids – Where one parent is a shifter the other human or no spirit animal – were born one of three ways. Either they were purely human or gained a counterpart that was weaker in comparison to full-blooded shifters, or there was us. The ones like me. A hybrid. Neither
JONDA One Month ago. I left the Kodiak Kingdom early today, not wanting to outstay my welcome. I was disappointed but not surprised that Morgan couldn’t reverse the curse. I had hoped to gain my wolf fully. They say you can’t miss what you never had, but that’s an outright lie. I had a wolf, one that was bound inside me, one that was there but I couldn’t communicate with her. I couldn’t shift and I couldn’t use her abilities. I was almost as good as human. I was faster than a human, had better hearing, and healed better than a human could. But I wasn’t a shifter, not even close. I longed for the day I could meet my wolf and shift. Run through the forest and feel the wind in her fur. It never bothered me as much as it has since I met Mike. The Royal Beta to the werewolf kingdom. I know we weren’t fated mates, if we were then he and his wolf would know. But that didn’t stop us from falling in love. He wanted to take me as his chosen mate, and I wanted that too. Almost as much as I
LYRICI look around, peering down one end of the street and up the other. The last thing I need is for anyone to see me. Us.I grip the tiny hand in mine a little tighter. I raise my other hand and knock on the worn and cracked door, quickly glancing around at our surroundings again. For the millionth time. All the while listening for movement from the other side of the door.I knock again when I hear nothing. Tap, tap, tap. My nerves ramp up as I wait, listening, looking, “Hurry up” I whisper, sighing on the exhale.The bite of cold nipped at us as we waited for the door to open. The snow in this part of the borough was thick and more was falling. The damp air seeped into our skin through the layers of clothing, chilling us right down to the bone.I would give anything to curl up in front of a fire with a warm drink, cozy up with my favorite person in the realm. Anything was better than having to drag us from the comfort and safety of our home out into the bitter cold night.But I di
MIKE I woke this morning to the most beautiful girl in the realm, made sweet passionate love to her, went down to the training grounds, worked out, showered, and then headed up to my office. The day was starting out like it always should. Fan-frickin-tastic. What more could I ask for? Aside from the usual patrol issues, a rogue here or there encroaching on the capital territory, and the day-to-day business activities, I was knee-deep in plans for Tala’s crowning ceremony. It was only five days away and details needed to be finalized. Thankfully Jonda and my mother had most of it handled. Tala was nearing her due date, so my girl and mother stepped in to help plan the second most important day in the New Moon Kingdom. I had hired Rhett and his enforcers as extra security for the pre-party ball and the actual ceremony. You couldn’t be too cautious when it came to crowning a future Queen. Her security and the Kings, of course, took priority over everything else. The knock on my ope
JONDA I’m an Alpha’s daughter for goddess' sake. Something I never thought I would be doing was pouring over tablecloths, decorations, and seating for a sister I never knew I had up until six months ago. Not even for me. Then again, it’s not every day your sister is being crowned the Queen of wolves. I just hoped all this hard work would pay off and everything would go perfectly for Tala and Kellen. I rub my palms over my eyes and exhale an exhausted breath “I think I need a break,” I tell Oliva, Mike's mother. “All these colors are giving me a headache.” Oliva laughs at my outspoken stress. “I guess after all these years I’m just used to it.” She shrugs, her blues glazing with a faraway look. No doubt recalling a memory from her days as the female Beta to the late Queen Sarah. From what I understood they were all close and the death of Kellen’s parents hit everyone hard. They had touched the lives of their people in so many ways that it had a lasting effect on the Kingdom. Too
LYRIC I rub my temples, my eyes straining on the blueprints that were laid out in front of me. How Miko got a hold of these blueprints was another question. They should have helped me map out my plan to retrieve the crown, but they were useless. This job was impossible. For a second, I wondered if it was too late to run. To grab my son and Aunt Lizzy and just run. Just like she and I did five years ago on my sixteenth birthday. I close my eyes and dig the heels of my palms into them. A poor attempt at trying to block out the memories of that night. The screams, the blood, the carnage. The annihilation of my pack. Tears gather in my eyes, and I pull at the skin around them willing the tears to stay where they are. No help came for us. We were a small pack on the outskirts of the Kingdom, independent from the King's rule. Therefore, we had no backup. By the time my father would have been able to call for backup from our allies - it was too late. The rogue king and his men were qu
MIKE The sound of chirping birds breaks into the most delicious dream I was having. I almost groan out with annoyance and screw my eyes shut trying to go back to sleep and willing my dream to commence so I can finish it. My groan turns into one of pleasure as I realize I wasn’t dreaming. The tickling of a tongue running up my hard shaft has me clenching my fists with gratification. The warm breath of a mouth fans across the head of my cock, the mouth closing around the tip and sucking me in. “Fuck,” I grind out, the sensation almost too much. I open my eyes and lift the sheet to see a mass of chestnut hair begin to bob up and down as Jonda sucks my cock like a pro. “Fuck, my love. This is by far my favorite way to wake up.” I gasp as she takes me deeper and sucks harder and faster. My one hand slides beneath the covers to grasp at her hair. “That’s it, love, let me fuck that mouth.” Jonda moans and the vibration sends a jolt of tingles to the base of my spine and my balls tighten
MIKE On a normal week, I was scheduled to lead training today. However, with all the extra checks and security I needed to do, I passed that task off to my father. I was meant to meet Damon in an hour and go over our security systems and camera placements once more. Then Tyrone and I would go over our patrol rosters with lead warriors from the Elite division. They would be working with Rhett and his Enforcers. With an hour to spare I head over to one of my favorite places. A place where everyone was happy to see me and welcomed me with the best smiles in the whole realm. “Beta Mike!” A chorus of voices rang out as I stepped into the room. In no time my legs were attacked by a dozen pups, ranging between ages three and six. “Have you come to play with us?” A little girl by the name of Darla asks me with hope in her eyes. I chuckle as all the kids start getting excited, “Not today pups, I’m in charge of organizing the Queen's coronation,” Some gasp in excitement and others groan in
