Chapter 10 Teaser

Alex tumbled once again as she was hurled on the mat by Jake. It was early yet so the gym was free of the pups who usually loiter and work out on the other side where all the weights equipment were located. Rance and Andrew were standing at the sidelines. Andrew had a frown creasing his brows, arms crossed over his big chest, as he watched Alex roll nimbly to her feet.

He and his brothers had been on the estate for several days now. The wolf shifters, as he had observed, were reservedly open and friendly to them. Although he could sense they were also wary of their presence in their midst—as they should be, since he and his brothers are humans. No doubt, if they were not related to Alex, their knowledge of their existence would have signed their death warrant. He would not delude himself that these beings are as they seemed. They are half-beast, therefore they are also prone to the instinct of their feral side. Any animal threatened in any way would lash out, so would these seemingly normal beings if put to the test.

Watching Alex interacts with Rance and the inhabitants of the estate almost eased his vigilance. But just one show of animosity towards his sister, and all hell would break loose. She may think that she’s a mighty alpha with all these mysterious powers, but to him, she’s still his sister that needed his protection. Which brought him to his present concern at the moment, “shouldn’t she be taking it easy?” He asked Rance quietly.

“What do you mean?” Rance asked abstractedly, keeping his eyes on Alex on the mat as she attacked Jake with a series of punches and kicks.

“Aren’t you concerned about the baby she’s carrying? I don’t think this level of activity is good for her condition.” Andrew’s voice was rife with disapproval at what he perceived as Rance’s lack of care for his sister’s welfare.

The tone of Andrew’s voice pierced Rance’s absorption in his observation of Alex. He didn’t like the way that Andrew was implying neglect of his mate. Turning completely towards his mate’s brother, he settled emerald eyes brimming with annoyance and a touch of anger.

“I care about Alex more than you could comprehend. One way of showing my care is ensuring her ability to defend herself, if necessary. We are a hardy bunch, there is no danger to her nor the baby in her womb. Our females are not fragile or prone to miscarriage as humans are.”

“I still don’t think it wise to risk it. Even if she is now a shifter with a hardy constitution, she was once human and therefore should take more care than a normal female shifter in her condition.”

Rance looked thoughtfully at Andrew, gauging if he was just trying to be aggravating or sincerely concerned of his sister’s welfare. After some moment of quiet consideration, Rancee appreciated the wisdom of Andrew’s words. Although it ill behooved him to accede to Alex’s brother, he abruptly nodded and acknowledged the wisdom of his advice. Much as he was certain that Alex was perfectly safe training and working out even carrying the Promised One, he’d not risk his mate’s and pup’s health on it.  

Turning once more towards the mat where Jake and Alex were sparring, he sauntered casually towards the two.

“Alex, it’s time to take a break.” Rance called out casually.

Alex glanced at Rance with a questioning look. Usually Rance would work her out till she was ready to drop. Her sparring with Jake did not even cause her to break into sweat yet.

“What’s up? We’re just getting warmed up.” She asked Rance once he’d reached her. Jake looked with curiosity but not much interest.

“I just thought we should cut it short since your parents are coming to visit for the day, remember?”

“Yeah, but that’s not until later this morning. If I know Dad, he’d take his time driving down here.”

Andrew joined them, “I believe you should take it easy considering your condition, don’t you think?”

“Huh-?”  For a moment Alex was at a loss to what he was talking about, until she realized that he was hinting at her pregnancy. “Oh! But I doubt there’s any danger.”

“Are you completely sure?” Andrew persisted.

Looking up at her mate’s face, she tried to discern his stand on the matter.

“I guess it won’t hurt to be cautious,” she finally conceded albeit reluctantly.

Taking her hand, Rance steered her away from the mat. “We’d better get Armand to look at you again.” He handed her a towel to wipe off as Alex fell in step with him leaving her brothers as they get ready to spar.

“I’ll see you guys later for breakfast!” She called out over her shoulder to her brothers.

With an absentminded wave from Andrew and a grunt from Jake, she hurried off with her mate.

“What’s going on?” She demanded, after they we’re out of hearing from her siblings.

“Nothing,” Rance responded with a casual air.

Alex stopped abruptly and yanked at the hand Rance was holding. Turning, Rance looked back at her. “What gives? Usually, you won’t get satisfied until I’ve rolled more than a dozen times on those mats. And now, I’ve barely broken a sweat. So --?”

Sighing, since he knew he Alex would persist until she got her answer, he finally told her of his conversation with her brother.

“Andrew pointed out that since you were a newly turned human we should take better care of you in your condition.”

“In my condition?!”  Alex shook her head in apparent show of frustration. “For your information Mr. Big Bad Wolf, human women don’t just stop working out or training the minute they found themselves pregnant. And what does my brother know about pregnant women anyway? Unless a woman had health problems or have trouble carrying to term they continue to do normal and regular things in their life. Besides, I’m now a wolf shifter. Our constitution is way better than that of a human.” She huffed.

“I know. But I thought we should go and visit Dr. Armand to be truly certain. I’m not going to make you stop training. I just want to have an expert’s opinion to put my mind at ease, not to mention your sibling too.” Rance quietly replied.

Lately Alex had exhibited short temperedness. She gets frustrated fast and her temper flares hot. Although they are short lived, it was becoming a concern for him. Maybe it had something to do with her rioting hormones and pregnancy, maybe not. Seeing the pack doctor would be a good time to also find out about it.

“Well, okay. As long as we’re clear that I’m not going to stop altogether until my belly gets too big for me to do so.”

“Agreed.”

Rance put his arms around Alex waist and started walking again towards their suite. They met several pups on the way to the basement and their greetings of good morning echoed in the hallway. Alex and Rance responded and nodded their heads in acknowledgement but did not stop to chat with them. Once they reached the landing at the top of the stairs, Rance turned to Alex.

“We might as well stop over and see this mysterious girl Malik found since we’re going to the clinic. She’s been up and awake for several days now but refused to talk to anyone. Maybe you could coax her to talk to you.”

“She’s the one they found in the woods, right?” Alex asked.

Rance nodded briefly, “yes. She’s been battered badly. I still need to know her connection with the rogues. And believe me, there is one. She smelled distinctly of them when she was first brought in. But she refused to say anything. Not even her name. I can understand that she had been traumatized, but we can’t help her if she would not tell us anything.”

“I can try.” Alex felt bad for the girl. She’d heard of the extensive abuse the girl had suffered physically. Although the physical wounds would eventually heal and fade away, the mental and emotional wounds would take longer to heal and probably scar deeply than the physical one.

“I also need to go find out how the interrogation is going with the captured rogues.”

“I think you should take my brothers to observe and maybe help too.” She suggested.

Rance stopped in his tracks and looked at Alex with skepticism, “I don’t think that would assist us in any way. We’ve been at it for a couple of days now and still they refused to give up even the identity of their leader. If your brothers get involved, the rogues would only clam up more.”

“Why?” She asked with arms akimbo. “They are highly trained professionals. I’m sure they could give you a hand. Sometimes a new pair of ears and eyes gives new perspective to some given problem.” Alex trained narrowed eyes at Rance. “And I’m dead certain they could be trusted, if that’s what concerns you.”

Rance face was carved in granite. No glimmer of emotion showed in his face or eyes. If she was not intimately connected to him, she would have been deceived into thinking that nothing was bothering him. As it was, even tempered slightly, their connection seethed with his repressed aversion in getting her brothers involved in shifter business.

With a sigh, Alex wrapped her arms around his waist. “They are my brothers, Rance. They are not just any random humans. Besides their leave is almost up,” peering up at him, she looked pleadingly. “I trust them…I’d willingly put my life in their hands. I think it’s about time to hand them a measure of trust, don’t you think? You’ve seen how my brothers are very protective of me. Once they learned that those rogues pose a danger to me and mine, there would be no stopping them. So why not make let them help?”

She nuzzled his chest, “your invitation to observe would serve a long way in assuring them of your trust. Please, for me?” Alex asked.

Rance hugged her to him, “I hope you’re right.” With a resigned sigh, he let his arms fall away. “What the hell,” he grumbled, “I’ll let Damian know we’re all coming then. Well, go ahead and take a shower. I’ll be up after I informed -,” he paused as Alex frowned disapprovingly at him. “After I NICELY asked your brothers for help,” Rance amended.

Alex beamed up at her towering mate. “I know I’m right. You’ll see.”

Turning, Rance retraced his steps to the basement gym. All the while muttering to himself, “pussy whipped…never thought to see the day….”

Laughing behind him, Alex yelled, “I heard that!”

Watching his impressive form disappear as he rounded a corner, she finally turned and entered their suite. She’d go ahead and take a shower and get ready for the day. She can’t wait to go downstairs and eat breakfast, her rumbling stomach demands nourishment. Patting her belly, she smiled and thought of the baby growing inside her. Hey squirt, the way you make me want to eat constantly would have upset me if I got huge as a house. Good thing shifter metabolism burns a lot of calorie and I can eat and eat and not get fatter.

“What was that all about?” Jake asked as he circled Andrew.

“Huh? About what?” Andrew replied.

“Stop being deliberately obtuse, I don’t buy it.” Jake jabbed Drew on the stomach. Andrew blocked and delivered a roundhouse kick which connected with a dull thud on Jake’s side.

“Ooomph!”  Jake staggered but immediately regained his balance and faced off with the grinning Andrew.

“There’s nothing to tell.”

Shaking his head, Jake advanced on Andrew and delivered a combination punches and kicks.

“Yeah, right. As if I’d believe that. I may not be gifted with your INCREDIBLE perception, even a blind person can sense something going on.” Jake’s voice dripped of sarcasm.

Andrew just shook his head. Even if he wants to, it’s not his secret to share. Alex would have that privilege. He smirked at his older brother, “and here I thought you are one jar head who’s oblivious to subtle signals. I remember your former girlfriend complaining that you’re hopelessly clueless all the time, unless it has anything to do with sex.”

Sorry for the wait, but I promise to have this one posted this month. Hope you enjoyed the teaser...let me knw what you think.

Chapter 9 Teaser

Upwind from the clearing, Andrew crouched high up on a branch of a tree overlooking the scene below. With Jake’s help he was able to slip their watchdogs and follow the rest of them here. He had to use his tracking ability to follow Rance, but by God he was able to do it without any of their knowledge. From the little information he’d garnered there was some kind of ambush that happened. But to his consternation, he could not find any other casualty except for the scattered wolves and one lone male being loaded in the stretcher.

On the far side, Rance and Alex stood locked up in a tender embrace. Something was seriously fucked up here if wild animals ambushed and attacked humans in broad daylight. And he knew there are no wild packs of wolves roaming Ohio. So where did those fucking wolves come from? And how about the unbelievable speed that Rance moved? Not to mention his uncanny ability to know what was happening with Alex. Andrew intends to find out, and there was no better time than now.

He climbed down the tree. Not even bothering to keep quiet or hide his presence. Even before he reached the bottom, he noticed that several men were standing waiting for him. One of them was Damian. He looked pretty pissed. His arms were crossed over his chest and his face scrunched up in a frown that would have put fear in a lesser man. But Andrew was not daunted, he had stared death on many occasions and one pissed off male would not deter him from finding out what his sister got into.

Jumping off the last couple of feet, he slowly straightened and faced the welcoming committee. Smiling amiably, he flexed his hands loosely on his sides, readying for an attack if needed. Andrew met the gaze of Damian head on. Blue and steel grey eyes clashed. The tension was palpable in the air. The two betas standing next to them shifted restlessly on their feet. Although smiling, Andrew’s stance and flinty gaze was a issuing a clear challenge to Damian.

 Their silent battle for dominance would have continued on if not for Alex’s shout ringing loudly in the quiet of the woods.

“Andrew! What are you doing here? Damn it! You just have to stick your nose in my business. Why couldn’t you have waited for me in the mansion?” Alex rushed in with Rance trailing behind her.

“And hello to you too.” Andrew said sarcastically, training his inscrutable face towards Alex. Looking her up and down, he ascertained that she was not harmed or hurt in any way. Breathing through his nose, he let his muscles relaxed from his battle ready stance.

“Besides, my business is to make sure that you’re okay.” Andrew replied without heat.

Stomping her foot, “see I just knew you’d say something like that.” Trying to keep her irritation in place was hard, knowing that Andrew was just being himself made it harder to hold on to her annoyance. Even though she was older than him, he had always been protective of her even when he was smaller than her. Now, with all his training in the military, he took it to extreme levels. It was endearing before, and sometimes infuriating. But now, it’s downright dangerous. A whole community of shifter was on the verge of exposure because of her. She had no clue as to how Andrew, or her family, would react once the cat – er - wolf is out of the bag.

“As you can see, I’m fine.” She felt Rance stand behind her and put his hand on top of her shoulders. He squeezed gently to offer his support. Looking back at him, she smiled and turned back to Andrew.

“How did you manage to follow us?” Rance asked.

“I tracked you. Even if you made it hard for me to do so,” he paused for a second and directed his steely gaze on Rance. “No natural man could move as fast as you can, even if they’re Olympic sprinters. So tell me, Rance…. What are you? And what have you involved my sister into?”

Alarm colored Alex’s face, as she took a step forward. Rance held her still and shook his head. “Allow me to answer him.” Rance put his arm around her shoulder and faced Andrew squarely. “I’m sure you have a lot of questions for me, and I’m willing to answer all of it. But I’d rather take this inside where Alex can be comfortable. Let my betas do their job here.” Turning, he did not wait for Andrew to answer. Rance knew that he would follow, if not out of curiosity, then out of concern for his older sister.

Andrew followed after Alex and Rance after nodding briefly at Damian. He did not fault the man for being contrary; after all he must be following Rance orders. He did not sense personal antagonism from Damian. Andrew had no ill feeling towards the man, in fact he approved of Damian’s loyalty to his future brother-in-law.

Chapter 8 Submitted

2 October 2012

Hello there! My amazing editors sent back the edited copy finally on Sunday afternoon. I did some last minute additions to it and sent it back. Monday I found the final copy waiting for me in my email inbox. I cleaned it of comments and other marks and finally submitted it to Lit. I hope they post it by this week.
I've checked and noticed that none of their editors have read it yet, so I resend another copy. I had some problems before with them when my work disappeared when I emailed it so I want to make sure that this time it won't get disapproved because they have not received a copy.
If everything goes smoothly, you'll find chapter 8 posted by the end of the week.
Happy reading!

Chapter 8 Teaser

Rance entered the elevator in the Pack Clinic building. Opening a hidden panel, he pushed the button for the third level basement. Putting his code in, the lift slowly descended. The building looked unassumingly normal from the outside with three floors visible. The elevator buttons showed only one basement which worked as the clinic’s morgue and stock and supply rooms. Only the Alpha and some chosen few betas knew of the two floors underneath.  The last two floors was where they kept the jail and interrogation rooms. It can only be accessed by the elevator which was digitally controlled by a code.

Damian and three other betas, Xander, Thorn, and Malik were waiting for him as the door opened. Nodding in greeting, he walked purposely down the narrow hall brightly illuminated by the fluorescent light overhead.

“What have you learned so far?” Rance asked Damian.

“They are proving stubborn.” Damian shook his head. “Unless we are willing to use more extreme measure of interrogation, they would not give us any useful information.”

They walked up to a door. Opened it and filed in quietly. The room was devoid of any furniture save for several chairs facing one mirrored wall. The mirror showed another room occupied by a lone slump figure chained upright on the wall. Except for the manacles on his wrists, there was no evidence of abuse on his body.

Rance walked up to the mirror and surveyed the Were with eyes starting to burn with anger, “so what in the hell did they tell you guys then?” His voice rumbled.

“Just the usual crap. That we are doomed and the true King of the Were’s is coming to extract retribution.” Damian answered almost casually.

Rance turned his head to Damian and frowned in thought. “This is the first time I’ve heard of this King of the Weres.”

“He’s claiming that their alpha, who was the prophesied one, is the King of the Weres.” Thorn explained.

“The bunch of them were clearly delusional and crazy to boot. I doubt we’d get anything from them that would tell us where their den is.” Xander stated.

“We’ve had them for almost a week now and still nada.” Damian assessed the chained form, “maybe it’s time for us to let the task force at them. I believe we’ve got all the information we can get from them. Now we know that their supposed alpha is abducting humans and attempting to change and impregnate them.”

“It’s not enough. I want to know the identity of their alpha. Or where they’re holed at, at the least.” Damian implacably asserted. “Do what you can to extract those information. No mercy this time. They did not show mercy to those they have killed, neither will they get it from us.”

Nodding silently, Damian stood next to Rance. “What about the Alpha council and the task force then?” Damian asked, concern lacing his voice. The pack didn’t need to butt heads with them. They would need their acceptance and support once the true ‘prophesied one’ was birthed.

With lips in a straight line and eyes turbulent, Rance locked eyes with Damian. Silence reigned for long moments, it seemed, to the three betas standing in the room with Rance and Damian. Sighing quietly, Rance nodded his head once, “inform the task force and the council of their capture later today.”

Damian’s cell vibrated and started jingling in his pants pocket. Excusing himself briefly, he looked at the digital display and promptly answered the call.

“Prime here. Yeah, okay. Let them in and I’ll inform the Alpha.” Hanging up he turned back to find Rance facing him with raised brows.

“What’s that all about?” Rance asked.

“That’s from our betas down at the main gate.” Damian’s eyes were sparkling with humor.

“And-? Out with it then.” Rance couldn’t keep his impatience from coming out. He wanted to finish this business and join Alex in her run.

“You have visitors waiting for you.” Damian replied.

“I’m not expecting anyone today. Who is it?”

“Your mate’s brothers have come a-calling.”

“Fuck!” Rance muttered.

Turning on his heel, he walked out of the room and left Damian and the betas behind. Now he need tell Alex to come back from her run. Hopefully his pack won’t do anything that would make Alex’s brothers suspicious.

Before getting in the elevator he yelled behind him. “Damian, make sure everyone is aware to be careful of when they shift. I don’t want them inadvertently letting our secret out.”

Time to make nice with the in-laws.

Wow!

Am really surprised at the reception to chapter six. But the positive feedbacks made me eager to get the story going. As a matter of fact, I'm almost halfway through the next installment.  Barring any unforeseen catastrophic events I'll try to get this one out this month.

Sneak Peak of Chapter 6

Descending the main staircase, she hurried in the direction of breakfast by following her nose. The smell of bacon and pancakes made her salivate. Her stomach was grumbling in complaint and she badly needed her morning coffee. Making a beeline for the dining room, she swept cursory glances at the different rooms she passed, not taking the time to explore or admire any of it. Hearing the clinks of cutlery and rumbles of conversation, she steeled herself as she casually strolled into the dining room.

All conversation ceased as everyone looked her way. “Good morning.” She greeted the room at large with a friendly smile. Not waiting for anyone to answer back she moved forward, seeing that the sideboard groaned with piles of food, she headed for it. She heard some muttered good mornings in reply, but most remained quiet. Making herself a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, and French toast, she poured herself a cup of coffee then settled in one of the empty plush chairs around the massive dining table. Looking around, she noticed that everyone was quietly staring at her, confoundedly.

“Everything okay?” she asked with brows raised. They nodded their heads collectively but still wore bemused expressions on their faces. No one actually picked their forks up to eat. Mentally shaking her head at their curious reaction, she took several bites of her food. A little rattled at the attention she was getting, she looked up and said in a firm voice, “Eat up everybody or I’ll think there is something wrong.” Immediately everyone on the table rushed to do her bidding, picking up their forks and shoving their food in their mouth, chewing fast.

Alex, what have you done now? Rance suddenly asked, startling her so much so that she jumped in her seat.

Nothing. Sheesh, why would you think that I did something differently? I’m eating my breakfast with the pack here in the dining room, she replied with irritation. Alex almost spilled her coffee in her lap when he used his mental hocus-pocus earlier.

Because I felt the surge of your Alpha power just now. You may not know it yet, but you and I are connected and every time either of us use our power, the other will feel it. So what did you do?

Scanning the pups around her, she was horrified that she may have inadvertently commanded them to eat. Watching intently, she noticed that their movements were a little jerky and panic was clearly evident on the younger ones’ faces.

Uh uhm, ah Rance, I just told everyone to start eating. They were all staring at me so I …. She trailed off when she heard Rance laughing through their bond. What do I do now? And stop laughing at me!

It’s just hilarious, he paused and tried to compose himself. Serves them right anyway for making you uncomfortable.

You know you are not helping me at all. Tell me how to stop this, she urgently bid him.

Just speak the word and use your Alpha voice, Rance replied with a hint of a smile in his tone.

What Alpha voice?! I have an “Alpha Voice”?I didn’t know I was doing anything differently. She was getting frustrated, it was her first day and she was giving the young pups a bad impression of her.

Calm down, Alex. Look inside yourself and grab hold of the power that’s in you. Focus and speak the words as you will it to happen. Trust me, it’s not that complicated.

Okay. She breathed in and focused inside her, feeling a simmering of power just under her skin, she grab a hold of it and pushed her will to subdue it, she then opened her mouth, “Everyone stop eating.”

The cessation of movements left the dining room eerily quiet. Jumping in she swiftly apologized to them, “I’m sorry if I forced you all to do my bidding. I was totally unaware that I used my Alpha power on you all.” She was flushed with embarrassment, but bravely pressed on, “I’m new to this shi…. erm, stuff, so pardon me if I keep making mistakes now and then.”

Some of the younger pups start giggling upon hearing their Regina apologize and almost curse at the same time. It broke the tension around the room and smiles split the faces around the huge table.

“We were just surprised that you came down for breakfast,” one of the male pups hastened to explain.

“Yeah. That’s why we were all staring at you,” another pup butted in. “Then you sat there,” he pointed at where she sat, “instead of the Alpha’s seat,” he pointed at the empty chairs at the head of the table.

“Does it really matter to you all where I sit?” She asked them, wanting to know what they really thought.

Everyone shook their head and cast their eyes down when she looked at them one by one.

“It’s settled then. When I’m by myself and join you, I sit wherever I want. But when your Alpha is with me I will sit with him at the head of the table. Go on and enjoy your meal.” This time she was careful not to use her Alpha voice, now that she knew the difference.

Starting on her own meal she smiled encouragingly at the ones who dared to meet her eyes. One by one they picked up their forks and resumed their meal. Slowly, the conversation around her restarted as the pups began to talk freely with each other. Some still cast curious glances her way but no one ventured to engage her in a conversation.  Ignoring everyone around her, she concentrated on appeasing her stomach. She planned to meet up with Rance and discuss ideas to catch the crazy shifters who were menacing them. Finishing her coffee, she stood up and picked up her plate and cup in preparation to taking it in the kitchen. A screeching of several chairs being pushed back alerted her of some pups standing up. Stopping in her tracks, she threw them a questioning glance.

“We’ll take that from here Regina,” several of them offered.  The tallest of them came and lightly grasped the dirty plate and cup she was holding.

“No, it’s fine. I can do it myself. There’s no need for you to bother,” she awkwardly replied.

“It’s our pleasure to serve you,” the tall boy insisted. Reluctantly she let go ofit. She did not want to start a tug of war after all.

“Thank you, -?” she smiled at the boy standing by her.

“Daniel, my Regina,” he answered, “and you’re very welcome.” He smiled winsomely at her upturned face.

“Oookay,” she said in a slightly sing-song voice. “I’ll be seeing you around then. Have a good one.” She had barely exited the room when she heard the explosion of conversation start.

“Wow she’s powerful,” one loud voice piped in.

“And did you see her vivid red hair?” another chirped out.

“She’s quite tiny…” a female voice drifted off.

Alex left them to their discussion. She was not bothered much since everyone was entitled to their own opinion. Once they get to know her better they’d find out that her size would not hinder her from performing her duties as their Regina. After all, big things can come in small packages. She whistled as she strode to Rance’s office.

Pin Finally Off!

Whew! It's good to see the end of this ligament problem. I went to have the pin taken off yesterday and now I'm finally off my cast. Still wearing a dressing and thumb brace, but it's not too bad. I can go back to my normal routine pretty soon.
Working on chapter six of Shadow Of The Wolf and hoping to finish it by next week. Keep your fingers crossed that everything will go well with my therapy.

I am very excited on my readers response on Ch. 5 of SOTW. Thank you all for spending the time to read and comment on it. I keep checking on how my readers receive the latest installment, and I was not disappointed. I'd like to thank willeriley for his comments in ch. 4. I do admit that I still have a lot to learn, and his helpful criticism showed me weaknesses in my writing.
Anyway, I'm due for another minor surgery to take the pin out of my left thumb this week. Hopefully I could finish the next chapter soon.

Chapter 5 Teaser

“Alpha, you can’t believe what’s happening!” Luc immediately mind spoke, “the Alpha Regina is shifting. It’s unbelievable!” The usually calm Luc sound wildly animated.

“Impossible. It’s not a full moon night nor is the moon out yet.” Damian said doubtfully. “Maybe you’re both mistaken.”

“No Prime, we’re not,” responded Luc. “The Regina is presently sprouting furs and slowly shifting into her wolf form.”

15 May 2012

Chapter 5 of SOTW is shaping up really well. I'm excited with the way Alex's character is developing. Still working on Rance but he's getting there too. The twins and Damian are shouting for their own stories. Hopefully by the time I'm finished with the SOTW, their stories would be more concrete in my mind.

Stay tuned for the the next installment at Lit.

Drop me a message here or on Lit.

Chapters 1 - 4

Alex and Rance- linked together by destiny, summoned  for mating by fate. Both stong willed, each struggled in making their relationship work. Faced with a looming threat in the shifter community where  Rance is the reigning Alpha Rex of the Northern America pack, will their bond grow or stagnate? Will Alex choose to stand by her mate and take the reigns of Alpha Regina or not?
