Chapter Thirty-One: Syrra
He still hasn't let go of the letter. He keeps staring at. He reads it over and over again then closes his eyes for a few moments. When he opens them again and sees the letter still in his hands his shoulders slump a little more.
"There's no way this is real right?" he whispers, looking up at me.
The pain on his face and the hopeful look in his golden eyes makes my stomach turn. I open my mouth, but nothing comes out. I don't know what to say.
"Please tell me this is all just a bad dream," he begs.
I bite my lip hard. It's going to be okay, I want to tell him, but I know it's a lie. I bite harder until I taste blood on my tongue. "I'm sorry Kaine," is all I manage.
The last glimmer of hope in his eyes suddenly vanishes. I step closer to him and he wraps his arms around my waist. I suck in a sharp breath as I feel a sudden pressure behind my eyes.
He is on his knees, hugging my waist to hold himself up. I can feel something wet

"What the hell just happened?" Ash whispers.I shrug a little. "I have no idea but that bastard died screaming, so I don't really care," I growl."Fair enough," he mutters with a heavy sigh. "Are you doing okay?"I find myself staring at the ground until it goes fuzzy. "I don't know," I admit.He grabs my hand and interlaces our fingers, leaning his head on my shoulder. "Honestly that's probably a good thing," he murmurs.Kaine suddenly walks toward us, his expression unreadable. "Thank you," he says with a tiny smile.I frown. "For what?""Defending my mate's honor, what he said was―""Disgusting," I growl. "I know you would have done something too, but I just snapped. I mean you did the same for Ash and I yesterday.""Yeah," he sighs. He looks like he's going to say something else but then he turns away and returns to his mate. Syrra is talking to my mother, both with broken smiles on their lips.Peter's body st

"Thank you for coming with me," I mutter, curling my fingers into his brown and gold fur.You still haven't told me what we're doing here, he says."I already told you, I don't know," I sigh.I'd feel a lot better if I knew why I was taking you to the heart of dragon territory,he growls."The Queen asked us to come that's why. You don't trust her?"I don't trust anyone.I frown. "Not even me?"He stops and cranes his head to look at me. His eyes take my breath away. He told me they are a genetic mutation that runs in his family. All of the males have wolves with eyes of icy blue instead of yellow.Taylor, do you trust me?he asks.The question catches me off guard. I open my mouth to say something, but nothing comes out.He turns away and begins walking again. I grip his fur tighter as he picks up the pace and starts to jog down the mountain path.I'll trust
Mate To The Queen Chapter One: Jaxon
"Jaxon!"I wince at the sound of my mother screaming my name. "You are so dead," Maia taunts with a smirk.I toss her a glare before getting up from the couch and walking to my father's office. The door is already open."Jaxon how many times do I have to explain the rules to you before you actually start following them?" My mom growls, furiously running her fingers through her mess of curly red hair.I drag my hands down my face with a groan. "It was an accident—""Anaccident?Jaxon you know you're not allowed to shift during the day!" She seethes."I'm sorry, I lost control because Layton was pissing me off. But dad immediately had him sent to the Devil's Circle for confinement and no one else saw so it's okay," I assure her.Her fiery eyes search mine for several mi

I jerk awake to banging on my door. I sit up with a growl. "Whoever woke me up is going to die!" I yell, throwing off the silk sheets.The door opens and Kaine smirks at me. "Dad says you have training today," he says quickly then slams the door shut.I stalk to my connected bathroom, muttering curse words under my breath. I strip down and take a cold shower to wake me up. While I dry myself off, I stare at my reflection in the mirror.I look a lot like my mom, everything but my eyes and hair are the same. My hair is curly like hers but it's brown instead of red, and my eyes are also green but generously flecked with gold making them appear hazel.My brothers look like almost identical copies of my dad, all except for Jaxon's red hair and Kaine's dark demeanor.I hear harsh knocking on my door. "Maia get out of there!" Jaxon yells.
Mate To The Queen Chapter Three: Kaine
"What the fuck do you want Jaxon?" I growl.My brother rolls his eyes and walks into the office. "The Ring is the most popular club in the pack, it's all I ever hear about. I'm really impressed with how much effort you've put into it even though it's technically not even yours," he says making me growl again.I stand up from my desk and push past him, walking out of the office. "Did you really interrupt my work just to tell me you're impressed?" I snap.I walk behind the bar counter and he sits down on one of the stools. I grab the clipboard on the wall and start checking the stock of liquor behind the bar. Out of the corner of my eye I see Jaxon sigh."Actually, I came to talk to you about Maia," he says and I pause."What about Maia?" I ask. As much as my twin sister irritates the hell out of me, I still care about her."Well I'm really worried she is going to find her mate next week. I mean mom and dad let her invite the entire pack
Mate To The Queen Chapter Four: Jaxon
I watch Kaine walk away from his bartender growling under his breath. He storms through the crowd and disappears into his office.I look down at the glass on the table, half-full. I watch the condensation roll down the sides and drip onto the wood."Okay—either you're hammered or thinking deeply about something."I glance up at the beautiful blonde standing beside me. She raises her eyebrow at me."Maia turns 16 next week," I say.She nods and slides into the other side of the booth. "And you're worried that her mate will leak your family's secret?""Yeah."Taylor grabs my drink, quickly downs the rest of it, then makes a face at me. "Why the fuck are you drinking firewhiskey?"I shrug my shoulders. "I just can't stop picturing what would happen to our family if someone learned what shifters we are," I mutter."Well moping around here isn't going to help. Come on," she says. She stands up and grabs my hand.
Mate To The Queen Chapter Five: Maia
I jerk awake when I feel my mattress bounce underneath me. My eyes snap immediately towards Jaxon sitting at the foot of my bed, a wide grin on his face."Happy sixteenth birthday sis!" He shouts, throwing his hands up in the air.I laugh, rolling my eyes. "Thanks, Jax, did Angel make breakfast?" I ask.He chuckles. "It's 3 o'clock in the afternoon so she made lunch; she knew you'd be hungry as soon as you woke up—well if you ever woke up." He suddenly reaches under my bed. "Anyway, mom wanted me to show you this."My eyes widen when he slides a large white box out. "How long has that been there?""A week, I think? They hid it under here cause they know you never check under your bed.""Yeah maybe I should start doing that," I murmur."Yeah, you should clean your room too," he says, glancing around.I frown at him. "My room is perfect what are you talking about?"He shrugs. "I'll let you open that, then meet
Mate To The Queen Chapter Six: Kaine
"Kaine!"I let out a low growl and smash my head against the tree again. A loud crack echoes through the forest followed by a massive crash as the tree snaps.The scent of blood fills my nose making me growl again."Kaine!" my mother snarls."Leave me the fuck alone!" I snap."Calm yourself down! This is dangerous," she hisses.I take a deep breath and run my hands roughly through my hair. Lucifer is still raging but no longer threatens to take control."I can't do this anymore, he's impossible to deal with," I growl under my breath.My mother sighs. "That's why I've been trying to get Maia to take over. Once she does, we can go to the Devil's Circle and you guys don't have to be here anymore," she says."Has Maia shifted yet?" I ask.She shakes her head. "She won't until about 1:30 in the morning. And in the meantime, we need you to make sure my club is safe and she doesn't get in the ring.""Fine," I mutt
