I let out an exasperated sigh as my eyes shot open. It was hopeless, the anticipation of whether my plan had worked was causing a serious inability to sleep. It was infuriating, this waiting game. I rolled onto my side whilst reaching out my arm to hold onto Nate’s warm body, only I was met with a cold emptiness. That’s strange. Where could he be? I checked the time on my phone, which was resting on the night stand. 2:03 am. “You’re doing too much thinking, shut up and go to sleep.” Leia yawned. I rolled my eyes as I left the cosy embrace of the bed to go and find Nate. My blonde waves fell down my back as I straightened out my silk, black night dress. There was something about silk against my skin, it felt delightful. I tiptoed down the hall, trying to be as quiet as I could. I really didn’t feel like waiting up a bunch of tired werewolves, that had disaster written all over it. I sneakily made my way to the kitchen as an apparent thirst formed in my mouth, but as I entered the

As we sat in the dining room, I couldn’t help but ponder on how complicated everything had gotten. Little over three months ago, I was living in my fathers pack without Leia and consistently getting grounded for acting ‘rebelliously’ or so my mother would call it. Now, I have a mate. Not just any mate, but the Werewolf King making me the future Queen. I have my wolf, Leia- “Who’s awesome, by the way,” Leia chimed in. Alright, correction. I have an awesome wolf, Leia. I’m half faerie, well actually faerie royalty. I have another fae trying to kill me so she can keep my crown, not that I asked for it back anyway. She’s also keeping my mate’s brother hostage as leverage. Oh, and my mate’s pain in the ass cousin is trying to help get me killed. To say things had gotten out of hand, well that was the biggest understatement of the year. Nate gently squeezed my hand, bringing me back to reality. “Alright, we need to come up with a plan. Now we know Betty is working against us, we need to

Nate’s POV After an exhaustingly long morning of training, I finally found my way back to my office. Since coming home from the Blue Crescent Pack, training had been full on. There wasn’t a chance in hell I would allow Serena’s plan to confront Skylar come into fruition if she wasn’t 100% ready. But frankly, I’d never known her take her training as seriously as she had been over the last couple of days. I was convinced I’d woken up in a parallel universe when she was readily awaiting her first training session at 6am yesterday morning. Getting her out of bed is a task at the best of times, yet there she was stood at the bedroom door impatiently tapping away as I was yet to wake up. I had to rub my eyes a ridiculous amount of times to double check I wasn’t imagining things. As much as her safety was an increasing concern of mine, I couldn’t deny how strong she was becoming. She was harnessing her powers beautifully, control was barely an issue at this point. However, as much as I l

My mother sat across from me listening intently as I explained my dreams. With one leg folded across the other, she set her sole focus on me. Once I was finished, a wide smile grew on her lips. “Wow,” she gasped. “You’re more like your grandmother than I thought.” She chuckled as she shook her head absentmindedly. I drew my eyebrows together. “How do you mean?” My mothers gaze met mine as she let out a content sigh. “Your grandmother, Lily, well she used to experience the same thing. Slightly different in the sense that she would dream of circumstances which were yet to happen. Whereas yours seem to be more intuitive. As if they are guiding you to what could happen, rather than what will.” Nate pulled his lower lip between his teeth as he paced around his office. “So there is a possibility that what Serena’s sees could actually happen?” My mother nodded. “Yes, however it seems as though she has the dreams in order to prevent the outcome taking place or to alert her of a specific s

“Again.” My mother bellowed across the meadow. Her lips formed a fine line as she narrowed her eyes at me. I briefly scanned the crowd behind me, allowing my eyes to flicker between Nate, Maddie, Jacques and Amber. Nate’s lips curved as he flashed me a reassuring smile, melting my heart in an instance. Maddie wore an expression of sheer determination as she prepared for the next round. I could see the clocks ticking inside her mind, considering theories on how she could defy the magic. Jacques was swinging his hips from side to side, as he muttered the lyrics to an old George Michael song, completely uninterested in his surroundings. Every few moments you could hear Amber scolding him for his lack of interest, which went blatantly over his head. “You could get his attention another way.” Leia snorted. “I like your thinking.” I sniggered. I narrowed my eyes on an oblivious Jacques, who was happily singing away, as I allowed to heat to rise to the tip of my fingers. With an swift
