The silence stretched out before us.
I dare not move as I silently plead with my wolf, apologising for pushing her away.
When Alexander spoke again, his voice was rigid, like he had been fighting an internal battle just as I had.
“You have spent enough time wallowing up here like some damsel in distress. It is time for you to make yourself known to my people.” He spoke over his shoulders, his eyes still watching the burning flames in the grate.
“There will be certain expectations of you Rosalie.” He continued, “You will behave in a manner fit for a lady. You will not question my authority in front of my people. And above all, you will remain in sight of either me, or my beta Arthur.
“As the Queen of the werewolf kingdom, you will be expected to choose ladies in waiting to attend to you. You will be presented with the m

Morning came, and so did Maddison and Alice. Having taken stock of my shredded red dress, the girls produced a new one. A green velvet, with gold laces and embellishment across the bodice. It was altogether regal. The girls remain quite as they laced me up and dressed me for the day ahead. I was now more determined than ever to leave this place and find my way back to my own time and loving embrace of my own people. Walking with determination, I follow my guard down to the throne room. The distant sound of chatter vibrating along the solid stone corridors. The closer the throne room we came, the louder that the noise grew, until eventually the heavy wooden door was swung open and I found myself face to face with hundreds of faces of my new subjects. The room fell silent as every one of them took me in. The only sound coming from my mate sat on his over large throne talking to a woman next to him. At first, I did not notice the tall fig

After the morning meeting with Estelle, Alexander, perhaps wisely, thought it better to place the burden of helping me choose my ladies to someone else. An older lady names Agatha, who was far too old to be of any direct threat to me. Much to my disgust, Estelle was still to be included in my court. The idea of which had my teeth on edge. To my relief, Estelle rarely graced us with her presence. And the few times that she did, it was merely for appearance before slipping away. I had no deception to know that she was most likely slipping away to find my mate, and as much as I disliked the idea that she was still trying to win her way into his affections. I also knew that I would not be around long enough for it to matter. Between Agatha and myself, we selected a small group of women, ten in total. All of which were around my age. Some mated, others were not. All were from noble families across England and Europe. I had been informed that selecting wolves from t

“Alexander is not an only child, did you know that?” she asked me, picking at the blades of grass around her legs. “No, I didn’t.” “Well, he was actually the youngest of three. He had an elder brother and sister. Elena and Thomas. Thomas was set to be the next Alpha King, it was never meant for Alexander. So as a child he didn’t really have many burdens on his shoulders. He was free to make friends and chase about the castle walls with us all. “That is how I know my way around so well; we would forever be playing through these halls. Hiding in the nooks and crannies playing hide and seek. Our favourite game was hiding from Alex’s nannie. She would forever be pulling out her hair looking for him, and she never once discovered us.” Lucille paused for a moment looking into the distant remembering the past mischief they would get into, laughing at her own memory. “He was by far the most handsome of the group. But then if you had seen his parents then you

With the residual thoughts of what would become of the future Black family lingering in my mind, the rest of the day went by in a dreary haze. The fact of the matter was I had no idea what would happen to the Black family. When Granny Lou told me the story of the Last Alpha King, she never specified who his Queen was. In fact, now I come to think of it, I wasn’t even sure of when the events of the story were set to take place. She said that the King was hard and ruthless, well I can see that for myself. She also said that Alexander softened with time, and I am yet to see any evidence of that happening. Maybe her story was just that. A story. Surely there was no credence to her words? I was jolted out of my ponderings to the door of our quarters slamming open, and a very drunk Alexander sauntering through it. Trying, and failing to stand straight on his own feet, he takes one step forward only to crash into a sideboard resting to the side of the door.

Alexander My life had been a series of unfortunate events from a young age. I had always been a disappointment to my father who had hoped that that I would take after his own desire to lead. Although the Kingship was never my birth right. As a second son, I could lead my brothers’ armies. Defend the castle and keep our people safe. But I should never have been the one to rule over them. Much to his bitter disappointment, I was more attuned to my mother’s more delicate simplicities. I wanted travel the world and see the things that most only read about in story books. My greatest desire to was to see the west indies and even brave the vast oceans between England and the new world. At the age of thirteen, my father granted me one of my dreams. He allowed me to travel abroad, although not for the reasons I had envisaged. He has decided that it was high time to make me a man. Being sent to Prussia to join

Alexander “Alexander, you need to make a decision on this. It cannot be put off any longer.” My beta huffed out in agitation. I knew I had been as difficult as I could reasonably be on the matter of my marriage. But the fact of the matter was I simply wasn’t ready. “You can tell the council that they can shove their marriage proposition somewhere the s…” “You know very well that will get you nowhere Alex.” He cut in. “They want answers. Your people need and heir, and you are not getting any younger.” He spoke bluntly. Arthur and I had been friends far too long for him to stand on ceremony around me. We spoke openly, if not respectfully. I trusted him more than any other person on this planet. We had been my best friend since childhood. Him along with a small ground of others of our age had wreaked havoc around the castle in the time long before all of this madness ever seemed to be a possibility. He ha

Alexander had been in a particularly dark mood since our drunken exchange. He woke long before the dawn and came to sleep long past nightfall. I was beginning to suspect he was avoiding me on purpose. Though for the life of me I could not work out as to why. The answer came in the form of Alexander himself on a cold and wet afternoon. Lucille and I had not been able to escape for our usual jaunt around the castle, as the rain had been torrential all day. Dark clouds filled the sky casting everything into a depressing gloom. It was the type of weather that got into everything. The very clothes I stood up in felt damp and heavy. The castle was even colder than usual, and the walls slick with condensation. Every fire burnt strong and bright in my chambers. My ladies sitting about the main living room hearth chatting and keeping warm. I on the other hand felt much like the weather, gloomy and depressed. He burst through the chamber doors startling everyon

“You made a mistake in shutting me out Rosalie.” My wolf’s voice echoed through my mind. It was a strange sensation, like being in a large cave, the noise bouncing off of every wall and echoing in every crevice. “I know. I’m sorry, but I was scared. I didn’t know what else to do.” It was the truth. I was eighteen, and I had killed someone. I hated that part of myself. It had been my most deep and darkest secret for ten years now. I had never told anyone what had happened that night. The guilt had eaten me alive for so long, until I found a way to deal with the grief of what I had done. I had told myself that if it wasn’t him, it would have been me. He had no intention of keeping me alive that night. “You could have talked to me Rosalie. I would have helped you.” My wolf seemed sad. Perhaps she was. Afterall, we should have been one, I was supposed to trust her more than any other being. She was me and I was her. “You have helped me. You have been a voice of r
