Magnus

Gisela muttered under her breath what an irresponsible, reckless man she had raised, angrily banging about in her tiny kitchen. Every clang and bang punctuated her disappointment in my actions. I went into her bedroom, where Erik lay propped up on a collection of colorful pillows.

“Magnus.” He gave me a half-smile. “I knew you would come.”

I stood at his bedside, looking at a younger version of Ignatius, and I had to remind myself that they were not the same person. “About time I relieve

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    Taking a Break

    ErinaBeing with Marcel calmed me. Who could be angry when looking at his sweet face, inhaling his baby scent? So pure, so innocent. I loved him so much it actually hurt to breathe. My heart was fit to burst with love for him. I kissed his tiny hands, smiling as he tried to grab my nose. He looked at me with those clear, blue, wide-eyed, innocent eyes, and I melted.“I won’t let anyone hurt you or take you away from me, my little boy,” I promised. Especially not that red-haired witch!“And neither would I,” Magnus said as he stepped into the nursery, bringing with him her scent. “I knew I would find you here.” As if I had been anywhere else.He could’ve had the decency to wash her stench off him! I sat with my back to Magnus, with Marcel nestled in my arms.“I didn’t ask you to come find me. Don’t you have a kingdom to run?” I kept my voice soft, despite the ice in my tone. I didn’t want to alarm Marcel. “Daddy is a very busy man,” I crooned to the baby. “But he still has time to run

    MagnusI let her go. Sabelle and I had pressing matters to discuss. I promised myself to make it up to Erina later. Devil only knew why she was so angry. She was being utterly unreasonable.“Who’d you lie to, Sabelle? Me or them!” Gods help her if she lied to me. Not even carrying my child would save her then. My child. Thinking about it made bile rise in my throat. Gods! What kind of creature would she be? Devil spawn.“Lie? About what, nephew?” She lifted her brows, trying and failing miserably at innocence. The air between us crackled with tension.“Cut the crap, Sabelle! You know exactly what I mean.” My patience was wearing thin. “Did you help Erina or not!” I was putting myself out on a limb for her. Giving her a position of power, with how suspicious the wolves were of witches, it didn’t put me in a favorable light.“Mind how you speak to me, pet!” she hissed, her silver eyes turning to slits. “I didn’t lie. Not to you and not to them.” She pushed me away and strode towards the

    Erina“This is a mistake, my king,” Elder Marcus staggered forward to fall at Magnus’ feet, his dark robe pooling around him. “We’ve served you for decades. We’ve always tried to guide you on the right path.”“Yes…” Magnus drawled. “The path of fear, of superstitious nonsense. Of control. I am not yours to control, Marcus.” His eyes scanned over the group of elders to rest on Klaus. “None of you. Not even the Supreme. I am the Lycan.” There was a dangerous edge to his voice, a barely controlled rage that vibrated in the air. “Erina and I will rewrite history. The old ways no longer apply to us or our heirs.”Klaus burst out in mocking laughter. He clapped his hands, a deliberate, slow applause to show his contempt. “Well done, Excellence. You’ve just sealed your fate and proven the prophecy right. This is the end of the Lycan rule.” Still so arrogant and self-assured even as Magnus’ soldiers surrounded him and his men.Having heard enough, I stepped down from the throne to join Magnus

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    Reckoning

    MagnusA week had passed but today was the day of reckoning. It’s been a long time coming. They thought I was their puppet, but they were wrong. I’ve built this kingdom from the ground up. From the ashes of our oppressors, from the hunters and those that wanted to study us. Everything they have, all that they were, they have me to thank for it. Me, the Lycan. And this is how they repay me? By second-guessing every choice I made?Enough.“Is everything alright, Magnus?” Erina’s sweet voice pulled me out of my dark thoughts. “You look… intense.”I turned away from the window to see her watching me, concern furrowing her perfect face.“Intense?” I scoffed. “If you say so.” Murderous was more like it.She was breathtaking in her deep blue dress, sapphires gracing her milky neck, her golden hair piled high upon her head like a crown. Soon I would place a real one on her pretty head.“Don’t frown like that,” I told her. “You’re way too gorgeous to be so serious.” I could look at her for all

    Magnus nipped at my lips. “Do you think you can take me, Huntress? Are you ready to be ruined by your slave?” His eyes held mine, dark with intensity, a storm waiting to be unleashed.I tugged at his dark locks, forcing his head back to expose his neck. “I can take whatever you give me, slave.” My voice held an unmistakable challenge; one I would surely regret later. Maybe.I watched his Adam’s apple bob as he swallowed, peering at me through hooded eyes. I licked a stripe up the long column of his neck, his stubble rough against my silky tongue. A rumble vibrated in his throat. My fingers traced the curve of his collarbone down to his chest. His heart beat a fast rhythm against my fingertips. I swirled my tongue around one taut nipple, tasting him, teasing him.A growl left his lips. He hauled me up, thick fingers pressing into my butt cheeks, pulling me flush against his thick, pulsing cock.“Oh…” a breathy gasp. My back arched, needing him to fill me. He made me crave him, turned m

  • The Wolf Hunter's Daughter    My Slave

    Our arrival caused an uproar. The pack gathered around us, the noise overwhelming, cheering, shouting. Flowers rained down on us as we made our way through the crowd. The sweet scent of crushed petals drifted up to us. I gaped at all the smiling faces, shining with expectation, hardly believing what I saw. Were they the same wolves who hated me not so long ago? Some actually tried to touch me, trying to get some of the blessing of the Moon Goddess. I never expected such attention. It was hysterical. Magnus had to step in to calm them down. “Alright, alright! Enough now. Give us some space. We will have a proper celebration tonight!” he had to raise his voice to be heard. “Prepare a feast to celebrate your queen’s victory. But now she needs her rest.” He lifted me in his arms, and the crowd parted to let us through, their voices following us all the way into the castle.As he carried me up the steps to our wing, I held on to his neck, burrowing my nose at the base of his throat to in

    The night was short and restless, full of haunting memories and regrets. I missed the warmth of his body next to mine and his musky scent on my skin. But I couldn't let him back in my mind or my bed. No, I promised myself I wouldn’t.Hunger eventually forced me out of the rumpled bed and to the kit

    ErinaSo arrogant. Did he think I wouldn’t do it?I danced out of his embrace. “Does she know?” I haven’t heard screaming and crying, so I guessed she didn’t.He shrugged. “She’ll find out soon enough. Come here.” He lunged at me, but I evaded his grip. His touch was too hard to resist, and I wasn’

This was our debut as king and queen. I took Elise’s hand and led her up the broad stone steps. A high-backed chair awaited

We were not his slaves. He was ours, and tonight I will prove it.Elise might think she’s won, but she
