Knightly

My car is brought out for us and he

aking my key from the guy who drove it out

“Full” I admit because I ate a large portion of the food that was brought out it was I couldn’t get enough of int into my body. The thing inside of me just wanted more and more. Are we going to talk about what she did?

“No,” he shakes his head as we pull out of the ranch. “All you need to know is that they’ve been taken care of Maybe don’t watch the news for the next couple of days,”

I immediately pull out my phone, but he reaches out to take it from me. He doesn’t fuck it away he just places it in the cupholder between us

“Knight”

“Please” he says sneaking a glance at me. “I need you to understand,”

“That you killed someone because I coaxed you into it, I point out.

“I was going to do it anyway and in a much more violent manner,” he admits. “Angel, you’re not like other wolves”

“I can’t be doing this,” I whisper. Tm not like this,

“You really believe that?” he smiles. “You’re a fucking natural. Even without knowing. I can explain it better once we take

care of our pups,”

I can’t think of a single thing that would make him believe that I sit here feeling ashamed of myself for what I did. Did he kill them? What exactly did he do? There’s a strange sweet scent coming off him and the wolf inside me is very happy with it. The part of me that needs to feel guilty or sad because of what he might have done is ecstatic. It’s dancing with the sense of pride she feels for him right now. My emotions are all over the place.

-Mate, she growls in my head. He’s strong

“We already knew that,” I groan.

“Hmm? Knightly hums.

“She’s talking to me, I inform him. He inhales sharply and smiles at me

“That’s a good sign,” he says proudly. She likes that.

“A voice in my head is a good sign?” I ask, annoyed with both of them.

“A very good one. It means you and your woll will have a strong bond,”

“Can you tell me more about that? Maybe start at the beginning. How is this even possible?”

“Sure, wolf history has a little mythology vibe to it,” he nods. “Weres or rather shifters, we were once mortal. There are predators a lot stronger than us out there. Lycans, vampires, and worst of all Wraiths. Those were the leading clans. About fifteen hundred years ago, a witch was enslaved by a vampire because she was mated to a Lycan.

“This witch came from a very powerful bloodline and if the Lycan ever marked this witch, his bloodline would be the most powerful. Meaning his pups. The vampire kept the witch imprisoned and for whatever reason, they fell in love.”

“That can happen?”

“It’s more common than people think. Yes, someone’s mate can love or choose to be with someone else. Kind of like what happened with your mother. At least, that’s what I’m hoping for,”

“Then what happened?”

“The Lycan came for her and killed the vampire. He imprisoned the witch for allowing the vampire to seduce her. What neither of them knew was that she was carrying the vampire’s heir. When she finally started showing signs, she escaped and because the vampire was dead, the baby growing inside of her wouldn’t make it.

“She captured some of the most dangerous animals she could find. A lion, a wolf, a jaguar, a bear, and a vulture. She performed a ritual offering up the spirits of each animal in hopes that her son would make it,”

“Did he?”

“He did, but she didn’t. The ritual she performe Successfully unlocked! sters. She called on the beastly spints of the underworld and unleashed them on earth, exchanging ner une vui vuia.

The Lycan found his mate and the newborn. He raised him as a slave and then sold him to the wraiths who created slave packs to serve them. Wraiths are the reason why there are so many of us. Why we were able to grow large enough to push

back.

“The spirits that were unleashed are exactly that. Otherworldly spirits choose those with whom they are most compatible. We are vessels. When we grow up to be what we turn into, it’s training to accept the power that comes with what we’re

chosen to be.

“Usually, alphas bear alpha pups. But not always. The power of alpha varies depending on a person’s character. Lots of people have theories. Like my father who chose a violent approach because he believes it makes us the strongest. Those closest to becoming feral usually jump a rank because their instincts are more animal than human,”

“Like Arnold?”

“Yeah, Amold is right on the edge. Not just anyone can control it like he can. A very close friend couldn’t. It was killing her

“Did she die?”

“No, that crazy bitch evolved. She’s a Lycah now. The Lycan Queen to be exact. You might know who she is. She’s the owner of Lycan Tech,”

“Pernicious Phury,” I nod. “She was very polite and proper when I met her,”

“She plays the part but she’s one of the best hackers and assassins in the world at the moment. You’re not allowed to tell anyone that

“Oh, my god,” she seemed like such a genuine person. A little sad even.

‘She’s also your cousin,”

“Excuse me?” my neck pops from how fast I turn to look at him.

“On your mom’s side. Her mom is your mom’s aunt. She’s very excited to meet you. She doesn’t have other family,” he says quietly.

“Neither do I” I sit back. “You’re sure?”

“Perry is-” he groans and then laughs.

“Did you two-”

“No, no, no. She’s six years younger than me. I met her when she was thirteen. She has these huge eyes, they reminded me of my sister. She reminds me of her even now. I was part of a team and I was their alpha until my wolf started going dormant. Around the same time she started going feral,”

“Did something happen to her?”

“Her mate died and when their connection broke she had a miscarriage. Her wolf couldn’t handle it. Started eating away at her soul. We’re very lucky she met her husband and that he fell in love with her even as insane as she was,”

“You sound like a proud older brother,” I grin and feel a little excited to meet her.

“I am,” he smiles.

“Is your wolf still upset about what I said?” I ask just as we pull into a huge brand new school.

He cuts the engine and comes around to open my door for me.

“No, he’s quite pleased actually. Now everyone knows you belong to us. Including you,”

ut my cousin the

“Okay,” I roll my eyes at him. He growls lowly as he reaches for my hand. “What were you going to say about my Lycan Queen?”

“Don’t call her that when you meet. It goes straight to her head,” he laughs. “She’s insane. We’re sure she’s your cousin because she already knows everything about you. I made the mistake of telling her your name the last time I saw her. She’s been the only one who knows about us since it happened. Her and the little one. They’re disgustingly close,”

“These are your friends?”

“There are four people I trust with my life, Angel, Only four. If we’re ever in trouble and we get separated. Trust no one

except for these four names. Pernicious Prince, Violetta Wilde. Roman Vivaldi. And Eloise Lockwood. No one else. Not even my family.”

“Are you okay?” I hold her before me as she giggles, kicking her legs out. “Did you hurt yourself?”

She rambles something in French as she reaches for me

“Ayrie, you have to be careful,” Phoebe laughs.

“Alpha Knightly” the woman I spoke to this morning when I dropped them off, waves me down. A low rumbly sound stops her in her tracks when her eyes land on Phoebe who is holding our son,

“That’s their teacher, I place my hand on her shoulder and she instantly calms down. Ms. Reedly lowers her gaze as she approaches with a little more caution this time. “Ms. Reedly, I greet her. “How was the first day?”

“HC she struggles to put anything together as she slowly raises her eyes to look at my mate. Phoebe has amazingly gotten a hold of herself already. She clears her throat and sets Aizen down to hold his hand in hers.

“Sorry” Phoebe says politely. “It’s new,”

“Don’t worry, Alpha Altaha. It was my mistake to just run over here. I promise it’ll never happen again,” she bows her head in submission Phoebe looks over at me with panic shining in her eyes.

“Is there something wrong?” I ask because she will keep apologizing until one of us tells her to knock her shit off. It’s the

omega way.

“Not exactly,” she says holding up three folders. “I have the pups transcripts here and I think that they may be in the wrong class. Both Ayrie and Alzen are a lot more advanced than we anticipated. Headmaster Gorgon would like me to advise you to set up a placement test for them to take by the end of this week,” she opens up the top folder and politely offers it to Phoebe “I took the liberty to gather all of the information you need here. I also printed some out in French,”

*Their first language is French. We lived in France until now. I should have made it clear with the counselor. Thank you,” Phoebe says as she flips through the pages. “I was actually going to bring it up with you after you sent the syllabus last Friday

“Understandibly, Ms. Reedly says under her breath.

“Anything else?” I ask,

“They breezed through the day and kept a bit to themselves,” she shakes her head.
