Chapter 45
Tom led Daphne down the corridor. Torches illuminated the way and illuminating the two large portraits, so she saw them clearly before they reached the end of the corridor.
“Are these… his parents?”
“King Dean and Luna Sabina.”
She smiled up at the portraits. She had no way of ever knowing what her parents looked like, but she’d grown up with stories of them through her grandmother. She was glad that Arthur had some connection to his parents even if it was just their portraits.
“He looks just like his father,” Daphne said, wringing her hands. Luna Sabina had been a beautiful woman. Arthur’s brilliant blue eyes looked down at her from within her face. She wondered if Sabina would have liked her. “So… what did you actually want to talk about?”
Tom gave her a little smile, “You’re… quite perceptive.”
“It’s about Arthur, isn’t it?

He stared down at the first two words on the page for a moment before rolling it back up placing it in the box. He didn’t want to read words from a dead man he couldn’t remember right now. It felt highhanded and manipulative in some way to have a letter held together by what Arthur knew had been King Dean’s ring.If the man had known he wouldn’t survive the battle, why not make sure his mother was safe and with Arthur and Alma? If he and Daphne ever had children, he would never let her come back to die with him when their children were too young to protect themselves.He turned and found the woman offering him the key with a small smile.“It is… yours after all.”He nodded stiffly, thanked her, and took the key and the box with him back to his room. Daphne wasn’t there when he arrived, but her scent lingered in the air. He sunk onto the bed and opened the box carefully. It was strange to know that he

Arthur couldn’t help himself. Her scent was filling his senses and she looked so delicious, soaking wet and his.His mate.He licked his lips and she gasped.“A-Arthur?”He lowered his head and kissed her, lifting her out of the water. She wrapped her arms and legs around him with a little gasp of shock.“Arthur, what about the—”“The fire can wait.” Arthur growled, “Do you not want me?”Daphne huffed at the question. She did, but she also knew if they got started, he wouldn’t want to stop. She tried to explain that, but Arthur was kissing her again, walking back towards the tree line to where a large boulder sat. She felt the cool stone under her hips as he set her down; kissing her as if he wanted every breath she had for his own.She moaned as his hands skimmed her thighs and one slipped between her legs. She threw her head back with a cry as he stroked her. A

As they drew nearer, Daphne’s joy turned sour. Planks were missing from the sides of the cabin, broken as if a wild animal had pulled them off. The gate and fence had been torn down and vines were starting to grow over the remains of the gate.Her heart clenched in grief seeing the state of the cabin. She expected some damage, but not like this.Arthur growled, “Those bastards did this…”Daphne slid off his back and approached the cabin. There was blood still staining the floor. Glass was still everywhere and her bed had been broken in half. It seemed like they’d tried to destroy everything in the cabin, but nothing she was concerned about had been damaged. The few books that had been on the shelf had been knocked off the shelf but seemed intact. They had been her grandmother’s.“Help me clean it up?” Daphne asked.Arthur shifted into his human form and came to her side, “What should I do?&rdqu

Brown Valley’s pack patrol had returned from hunting Arthur empty-handed. The lack of victory had angered Haley and Irene. In response, the patrol members had begun shirking their duties. First, they stopped patrolling three times a day, reducing it to just once in the morning and once in the evening.As Haley’s paranoia began to grow and their son, Adam, started to show himself as an unworthy successor, the morale of the pack and the patrol continued to decline.This morning, the patrol leader didn’t bother to call the patrol members for the morning shift.“It’s not like they care anyway,” he said with a shrug. “And if the alpha and luna don’t care, why should we?”No one disagreed. The patrol members spent the morning with their families, willfully ignoring their duties. Haley and Irene woke up the way they always did with one thing on their minds: Adam.They had held several mating ceremonies

Daphne gasped, shocked at Arthur’s words. She felt the air shaking around them. She had prepared herself to watch Arthur tear them apart.“What the hell are you talking about?” Haley bared his teeth at them. “You don’t…”“Traitors are not welcome in the werewolf kingdom,” Arthur growled. “Never will you be anything more than the rogues you sent to murder me.”Haley winced and stumbled, pressing a hand to his chest. Irene swooned and let out a little gasp of agony. Haley’s wolf wailed as bonds of the pack and the place where he held the power of alpha over the pack shattered, draining him.He looked at his wife and knew she was feeling the same way. How had he done this?“Banished?” Haley gasped.“No!” Irene shrieked. “Y-You can’t!”Arthur growled, grabbing Haley by the arm. He cried out in terror, bracing himself for the

Arthur woke at first light, prepared to leave Brown Valley. Daphne watched from afar as he designated one of the members of the pack as the alpha and said his final goodbyes. The new alpha and his wife seemed honored to take on the responsibility and happy together.“Perhaps next time you come to visit, you’ll introduce us to your wife?” The luna said with a kind smile at Daphne.Daphne’s face burned with embarrassment and she ducked her head.“If I ever come back,” Arthur said, stiffly. “It will be after she is my wife.”Daphne gasped at his words as the alpha smirked and nodded. They had talked about many things, but marriage wasn’t one of them. While she wanted him to start thinking about what he wanted for the future and making decisions for himself, wasn’t there a better way to broach the topic of marriage?Arthur turned and transformed into his wolf form. The crowd nearby gasped as D

Daphne tried to pull away from the man, but his grip was unyielding. He was using just enough strength to hold her captive and jerking her along as he evaded Arthur’s attacks. She struggled, fearing the moment he would throw her in the way of Arthur’s claws, but it never came.He pulled her behind him and shoved her back into the arms of another man who took hold of her quickly and lifted her from the ground.“Let me go!” Daphne cried, kicking and wiggling, aiming for the man’s face or anywhere else she could manage.He dodged her attacks with easy movements of his head before throwing her over his shoulder.“Release me!” She shrieked and the man froze for a moment. It was long enough to knee him in the face and tumble off his shoulder. She scrambled back and onto her feet, running away from him towards Arthur as he pulled free of the man he’d been fighting.Arthur roared, shaking the air with its int

Arthur woke up with a little smile. They’d spent most of the night tangled together and in the throes of pleasure, whispering sweet things to each other. Daphne had passed out sometime in the middle. As far as he could tell, she would remain asleep well into the afternoon if he left her undisturbed.Arthur had stayed up for several hours after Daphne had passed out, thinking it over. The thought that maybe if someone had stepped up to unite the werewolf kingdom, or if they could have agreed to remain united, he and Alma would not have grown up the way they had burned him.If even the most remote packs could receive aid specific to their issues instead of whatever they could trade for, it would be worth a bit of discomfort. He dressed for the day, finding his hands steady as he looked over at Daphne.If the werewolf kingdom was unified, those creatures and whatever other threats that could come into the territory could be stopped.He could protect Da
