Thank you for reading, it seems like the plot is thickening.... I hope you have enjoyed the past couple of chapters as the story progresses. Let me know what think?
KING ALEXANDER Lamia was still unconscious and the stress of her injury and weakness was affecting everyone. I loved that girl deeply, as much as my own child, and would give anything for her, as would my son. A sense of pride washed through me when I was told how she took out a bear shifter single-handedly and in human form! We were astounded. Albeit, it was a traumatic experience, not just for her but for those who witnessed it, and it was not without consequences. I was surprised Marcus hadn’t choked my son out yet. I couldn’t blame him if he wanted to beat the shit out of him. Marcus had just found out my son and his daughter had been sleeping with each other. Not only are they both still 17, but that was his little girl. I was mad at my own son. I would certainly be having words with him. For fuck's sake, he crossed a line, and, hopefully, it all works out on their birthdays, then all would be forgiven. We also found out last night that Lamia had ‘accidentally’ been given an ov
LAMIA It was a week later and we had all settled into school and classes. I had moved back in with my parents, who had moved back into the palace at some point when we were at the academy. They knew about mine and Kellen’s now ‘romantic’ relationship. I guess they thought they would have better control over our extended activities; However, Kellen ended up sleeping in my bed every night anyway. On my first night back in my room, the nightmares had begun. I had woken up in a cold sweat screaming for Mike. The same shrill voice I used when the bear had attacked him. The glaring red eyes plagued my dreams and consumed me with terror. The feel of his claws digging in was so vivid, bringing back the pain. When my father came in to comfort me, I lashed out in a fit of terror and clawed at him. I guess I had woken up the whole palace with my screams and didn’t calm down until Kellen’s arms held me down in a tight embrace, soothing the shaking fear. After the second night and only Kel bein
LAMIA I woke up early at 5 am to a cold bed, sensing Kellen was not in my room. This was strange, as he was not an early riser. Heading for the shower, I sent him a quick mind link. *Hey, where did you sneak off to?* *We had a rogue issue again. We got called out at 3 am, heading back now. I didn’t want to wake you, babe. I will see you at lunch at school* *OK, fill me in then. I have early training with Hunji* I closed the link and stepped in, letting the warmth of the water soothe me. Rogues again, I thought. They have seemed to be persistent at our borders lately. But why wouldn’t they wake me to come and help? Everyone knew I was the fastest and strongest wolf in the royal pack. It irked me a little, maybe more than a little. I felt like I was getting pushed further and further from being involved in pack business. OK, I may not be Kellen’s choice for Delta. I got over that, but still, I felt like I was being shoved to the sidelines more and more and it didn’t sit well with m
UNKNOWN POV One year I have been here, and one year I have been subjected to bullying. The taunts, the kicks, the shoves, but hey what’s new, this is how it has always been. No matter what school I was in, no matter what pack. But this school was by far the worst. Most days it wasn’t so bad, just little comments here and there, or books being knocked out of my hands. Those days I could handle. Other days, like yesterday, when I was dumped head-first into the toilet and repeatedly flushed, were the worst. Or the days they catch me and throw food or drinks at me. How much more could I be humiliated? They treated me worse than humans. I had literally been 'thrown to the wolves'. How ironic, considering my father is a wolf. My father is a werewolf and my mother was a cat shifter or were-cat I guess you could say. They had met when they were both traveling and exploring the realm. A chance happening. Discovering they were mates. It was rare you would find two different shifter races fat
LAMIA I got back to the palace after Damon dropped Tawny off, then me. I was making my way up to our floor, still on a high from making two new friends today. I surely did miss Kira and hadn’t spoken to her in a while. I would have to give her a call later tonight, to see how she’s doing, I was interrupted in my thoughts when the King linked me to come to his office. Great, what did I do or not do now? I thought. I made my way to his office, knocking softly. “Come in”, he bellowed. Entering, I saw my father and Beta Michael sitting there and Queen Sara standing next to him. Shit, I was in trouble. I knew it and my dad’s tight-lipped expression confirmed it as such. I took a seat next to my dad across from the King. “You summoned me, your highness?” I asked, bowing as I sat. He rubbed his palms over his eyes “Lamia, did you threaten and attack another student today?” Double shit. Well, I might as well own it now, I wasn’t ashamed. “Yes, your highness, I did.” I sat up straight
MIKE Luckily, my dad walked in just then looking between me and Lamia, his eyebrows meeting in the middle with a glare. “So what did you want to show me?” he asked, shoving his hands in his pockets. I looked at Lamia and back to my dad, then back to Lamia again. “Lamia, I’m gonna need you to shift in front of Beta Michael.” “Why?” her brows forming deep lines and scowling. “What is going on? What am I missing?” She asked, getting annoyed and shoving her hands on her hips. “Just trust me Lam’s, please; it’s better if you see.” My voice was soft and pleading for her not to argue. My dad and I turned around so she could shift comfortably. We heard the slight crack of bones and when we were sure she had shifted, we turned around. I kept my eyes on my dad to gauge his reaction, to see if it was the same as mine. “Holy shit!” He gasped out. Yep, his eyes were wide like saucers, his mouth hanging open and his body visibly stiff with the shock of the sheer size of Inanna. *What? What i
LAMIA The next three days passed by smoothly. Only one rogue had been caught wandering our borders and he was being held in a cell. This time he was checked for a cyanide capsule and it was removed before he had the chance to bite it. They were letting him stew in the cells wrapped in silver chains and a good dose of wolfsbane before questioning him. I was hoping they would let me in on the interrogation. Damon and I were able to get the majority of projects completed during free periods, so we didn’t have to waste the weekend. I was happy to see he and Tawny were getting on well and were becoming quite the buddies. Turns out Tawny is a little smarty pants too and was welcomed to our little geek pack made of the three of us. They were both excited about hanging out on Saturday for the BBQ and Tawny’s dad would also be joining us. Damon’s parents were invited. However, they were at a neighboring pack this weekend. His dad was helping with designing some new buildings for them. Mom,
KELLEN I had been kicked out of Lamia’s room for the night as they had a girl’s only sleepover. I was bummed I wouldn’t have her by my side tonight, even though I did spend some nights in my bed, but I preferred to be there with her. I was happy that Kira was here and that she begged me to convince her father to allow her to come a week early. I knew the girls would enjoy their time together. I was still a little surprised that she had called me asking to come earlier as a surprise to Lamia. Aunt Viv and Uncle Marcus had even come to terms with us sharing a room before we were even of age. Although some mornings Uncle Marcus would give me the stink eye, that was usually after a night when Lamia’s moans were louder from me making love to her. Those mornings, I knew Uncle Marcus had heard us. All the more reason to mark Lamia as soon as possible once we turned of age, so she could move to the Royal floor and into my room, which was soundproof. Then she could be as loud as she wanted.
