Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Romance
Helena has led an often restrictive life as a sacred Omega wolf and Princess of the Lichtenberg line. With unimaginable power, come responsibilities and dangers that fill her days, but the time has come for her to choose her Alpha and enjoy the freedom of her very own pack. Alpha Aldric Forst has been seriously scarred in numerous battles for his King while leading armies in the fight to protect their lands from the growing evil. Knowing his ability to attract an Omega mate was slim and he’d resigned himself to a life of loneliness filled with duty to his pack and King Leonidas.
Princess Helena has other ideas for the massive wolf, who both intrigues and sets her heart on fire. At the choosing ceremony, she intends to make her intentions of mating with Aldric Frost known to all. However, an evil is lurking inside the castle walls waiting for its chance to steal away the Princess and as many other Omega wolves as possible. Can Aldric uncover the traitor in time or are the lonely Alpha’s dreams destined to remain just that, dreams.
an excerpt
“Shit, there’s a group of them coming from the south,” one of Helena’s new warriors yelled from the balcony. “Call the others!”
Helena ran out to his side in time to see a large group of ogres breaking through the tree line to the south. They were large, misshapen creatures filled with hate and rage for everything around them. Their small heads sat on top of overly large necks and shoulders. Their knuckles dragged on the ground, swords and spears filling their hands. Fur covered their abdomens and proportionally short stubby legs, even though they stood at over eight feet tall. They only concerned themselves with death and destruction. There hadn’t been many ogres left after the war they themselves had started, and Helena wondered where all these obviously alive and healthy ones were coming from.
She couldn’t send out feelings of contentment and peace toward the ogres because the wolves in the battle would be effected as well. Helena watched as waves of werewolves rushed the ogres, the sounds of man and beasts clashing with metal and claws filling the air. Wolves and ogres alike littered the ground as the battle waged below them. Helena felt the earth crying out for her to help. She sensed the large wisteria vines crawling up the eastern walls, searching for her until they crested the balcony. She reached out to them.
Her warriors quickly drew their blades back, intent on protecting her and cutting away the multitude of flowing vines and flowers. “No. Leave them. They just wish to help our people.”
The men withdrew their swords and the vines wrapped themselves around Helena’s hands, allowing her to immediately connect with all the surrounding vegetation. Helena called in every bird she could reach within the area, asking them for help. Then she called upon the roots and trees, asking for their assistance.
Like some great symphony, flocks of birds in every shape and size began to dive and attack any ogre they could reach, trying to blind them with their beaks and claws. The ground rumbled and shook as roots as big as a man’s thigh burst through the soil, snaking out and wrapping around ogre after ogre, dragging them back beneath the earth and to their deaths. Helena could see and feel the other omegas standing shoulder to shoulder behind the windows, sending out their strength to boost Helena’s abilities.
Once every last ogre was removed, the roots and trees retreated, leaving the bodies of wolves and men littering the ground injured and dying. Helena knew she couldn’t physically reach them all in time, but she refused to allow them to die. Desperately, she called on more vines. They answered eagerly, pouring themselves over the railing and wrapping around Helena’s body. Through them, Helena pushed her healing powers down into the roots reaching out to each downed person.
Flowers and vines erupted through the soil beneath the injured, searching out their wounds
and cocooning their bodies. Helena was vaguely aware that all fighting had ceased and the warriors returning from the east were quickly offloading their wounded onto the ground to be enveloped in flowers and vines. A beautiful black wolf raced around the men and vehicles toward the palace as Helena pushed even harder, forcing every last bit of healing power outward filling the vines. One by one, the other omegas fell, and soon her own vision blurred and she collapsed into one of her warrior’s arms. Her aunt cradled her head, calling for the doctor.
Aldric’s voice roared before everything went dark.
