Chapter 78
The journey was long and arduous. And by the time we finally arrived at the coast, the sun was breaking over the horizon casting the world into a red haze. A bad omen, it was whispered amongst the travellers.
I had tried to sleep during the journey as we jostled down the narrow country lanes, but sleep didn’t find me. And for the second night I was unable to find any rest. I was running purely off of adrenaline at this point. My eyes tired, my head aching, and my heart broken. But I knew that for the sake of everyone that was with me I had to do my best to push through and be seen to lead with a level head. It was now me that they were all relying on to lead them. And I refused to let everyone down by being weak.
Wolfridge was nothing like what I expected, yet still a spectacular sight to behold.
The Castle was much more a manor house than a castle. The Tudor style property sat on the edge of a cliff, the sea its backdrop. A large ship could be seen of

Alexander Watching Rosalie’s carriage disappear from sight was harder than I had ever thought it would be. How Arthur did this which such regularity was beyond me. If it wasn’t for the fact that I knew having her in the castle whilst I mounted an attack left her vulnerable and in danger, I would not have allowed her to leave. And I know that once this was all over, if I survived, she would never be allowed to leave myside ever again. It took everything in me to stop Silas from running after her and dragging her back. Her grief-stricken face haunted my vision, etched into the back of my eye lids every time I closed my eyes, and haunted my dreams like a plague. I hated seeing her so upset. Leaving was as hard for her as it was for me to watch her go. But I couldn’t dwell on it. If I wanted to bring Rosalie back to me, then I had to deal with my uncle swiftly and with a clear head. Setting the image of Rosalie to

Learning about the vampire contingent was a blow, but not one that changed anything that greatly. My warriors would have to be given a crash course in how to kill one, but it only delayed us by hours. Hours, granted, that could mean the difference between winning or losing the war, but a necessary delay to ensure that the outcome would be in our favour. There were two ways to kill a vampire. Firstly, a stake through the heart made from the wood of an ancient scarlet oak tree. Or secondly, decapitation. In the absence of having any scarlet oak stakes lying around, a species that was all but eradicated in this country, then decapitation would have to do. Something that was harder to do than it sounded. Vampires are strong, and fast. And even the crossbreeds are a tough match to most werewolves. Luckily, we had men amongst the rank that had already come across vampire armies and were able to lend their expertise to help train the warriors. Arthur and I i

The morning came around quickly. And the warriors gathered waiting for their orders. A wave of excitement going around the camp as the adrenaline of what was to come began to pump around everyone’s veins. As the hour struck, signally for us to move out. The excitement turned into something more primal. Most of the warriors had decided to shift into their wolf forms so as to be ready to attack at a moment’s notice, whilst other remains as their human selves until the fighting began. I shifted, knowing that this way my senses were at their most alert, and I was better able to communicate with the warriors under my care. We kept an open line of communication with Arthur. Creeping forward into the forest line and heading in the direction of the rogue camp. The camp was eerily silent, the sun barely showing its first rays as we neared the permitter. Only a few men could be seen wondering around the makeshift town. All supposedly on guard duty and not one of them a

I stood my ground, my feet shoulders width apart as I take in the scene around me. All about me was carnage. Bodies flung lifeless across the battle ground, their life force weeping out from mortal wounds onto the frozen ground. The sound of battle cries echoed through the forest ringing in my ears. Screamed of pain and fear. I was pleased to see that the majority that were scattered around me were rogues and not the men and women of my own people. As much as Silas craved bloodshed, I took no enjoyment out of war, and if there was a way that this could have been avoided, I would much rather take that path. But at the same time my duty remained to my kingdom, and I refused to step aside and allow a dictator to take over. My uncle stood across from me. He chest heaving with each breath he took. His bare chest covered in blood and dirt. I wasn’t sure if the blood was his own or not, but I dearly hoped that it was. “So, Uncle, you have what you came for.

Rosalie It had been a week since we arrived at Wolfridge. And it had been the longest week of my life. For the most part, we had fallen into a routine. But for me, I found myself constantly on edge. We had no way of contacting home. Even the mate bond gave me little comfort. There had been next to no news at all. Bar a few stranglers that had joined us a few days later. The guards that had come with us took residence on the wall that protected us, a constant look out for any sign of danger or a messenger with news from home. Although I could still feel his pull deep in my gut, I physically couldn’t reach him through our connection. Try as I might, the mind-link never seemed to fall into place. And to top everything off, I was now in my ninth week of pregnancy, and I was struggling. The morning sickness was in full swing. My hormones were playing havoc on me. In the

Veronica Delacour was a name that I definitely hadn’t heard before. I didn’t need to see her clearly to know that the woman standing before me was a vampire. Her mere presence stunk of danger, and the coppery tang of blood hovered over her in waves. Fear spiked in my chest. But I refused to allow her to have an effect on me. I looked the shadowed figure over. “What is it that I have that you could possibly want?” I ask her, silently seeking Nina out from the recesses of my mind. “You have no idea, do you?” She asked me, a sneer evident in her voice. The woman spoke with a heavy accent, accentuating each symbol with a guttural rasp. Her voice was reminiscent of Estelle, only harsher. “No, I don’t, care to enlighten me?” I tried to keep my voice light so as not to show she was having any effect on me. “You poor dear. I almost feel sorry for you.” She took a small step forward and lowered herself onto a rock close by. “How much do you kno

I found myself saddled and ready to ride back to Castle Black within the hour. Having spent moments to ponder what had just happened, I realised that I had no time to waste. It was obvious Veronica’s sudden appearance was no mistake. She was sent by Xavier, just as William had been sent before her. The very fact that she was there at all could only mean that William had failed in his mission. Veronica had been a contingency plan. One that I am sure would also have a plan C. Wolfridge was a hive of day-to-day activity. No one had even been aware of what was happening on the beach below. I was confident that Veronica was not working alone, how she arrived at the secluded beach without anyone noticing was a mystery to me. I could only assume that there were spies amongst us. Both here and in Castle Black. If Veronica knew that William had failed in taking back the werewolf throne, then I would have to assume that so did Xavier. Now that Veronica had also been pu

The figure turns towards me with a slowness that chills me to my soul. The mist laying heavily around him so that I could not make out who sits upon the horse. Their leather boot taps the side of the horse gently, pushing the beast to walk forward with impossibly slow steps. Each step closer, only making me even more on edge. “Rosalie?” a voice calls out. My heart stops in my chest, my breathing coming fast. “Shit, they know who we are.” Every inch of my body seizes with fear making it impossible to breath let alone move. Nina’s fight or flight instinct battling within me. She pushes herself to take control, her heightened senses coming into focus as she takes in the figure coming towards us. I turn to make a run for it, only to be held back by Nina. “Will you think rationally for one moment!” she chastises. “Firstly, they are on a horse, there is no way you can outrun them. Secondly, they know who you are
