Chapter 16:

[Daryl's POV]

I stood rooted to the spot. Ciara had left my side when she followed Damon out the door to see my mother. I wondered why Mother wanted to see her and what she would say to her. But what unsettled me more was the fact that I couldn't get Ciara out of my mind.

I started pacing with my hands clasped behind my back as my eyes darted to the door more times than was normal. It was as though I was expecting her to walk in any second when she had just left the chamber. Maybe she was clouding my mind, and I was thinking about her because Damon was involved. Yes! That was it. It was nothing else, except the fact that I didn't trust my twin brother and didn't want him to sabotage my plans.

I clenched my jaw, picturing how she’d left with Damon and the stupid smirk he had on his face like he’d just won the lottery. I had fought the urge to blow his jaw so he could never form a smirk again. I had also fought the urge to dash down to Mother's quarters and bring Ciara right

    Chapter 17:[Daryl's POV]*************Something was off.I couldn’t quite place it, but the second my boots hit the pebble pathway, I felt it in my gut. The courtyard was packed with people. Several Omegas moved fast, carrying baskets full of food, drinks, supplies...or whatever they’d been ordered to carry. A few of them bowed slightly as they passed. I gave a brief nod back, barely paying attention.It looked like preparation for a feast or some kind of celebration, but no one had said a word to me about any event. I folded my arms on my arms as my eyes scanned the busy courtyard. Teenagers were sitting on benches, and some on the tables, chattering excitedly and laughing. In another part of the courtyard, some omegas were rehearsing a dance routine. Others were crafting handiworks. With everything going on, there was a festive feel in the air, like something big was coming.Finally, I spotted Alaric talking and laughing with one of the royal maidens whom I didn’t recognize. The

He was by the doorway of the room I had just walked out of, his hands resting on his waist as he eyed me.“I think you're forgetting something…” he said. “You need me to help you find your way back.”I raised my brows. “No, thank you. I'll pass on that offer.”I turned to continue walking away from him when I heard footsteps behind me.“Let me help you, at least,” he said.I stopped abruptly, jerked backward, and wagged my finger at him.“Stop following me, Damon! Isn't it enough that I have to deal with being around you already? Do you have to follow me like a lost puppy? Huh?” I snapped at him.He took a step back, his lips set in a hard line as he nodded slowly.“You're right. You don't need me to—”“Yes, I don't!” I snapped, already worried that if I spent any more minutes around hi

    Chapter 19:Ciara's POV Something felt wrong. I shouldn't be here. My legs moved, but my mind screamed at me to turn back. I went down the steps slowly, breathing heavily. Then, leaned toward the maid, and whispered, “What is going on here? Who are these people?”She didn’t respond. Instead, her eyes dropped to the floor as she just kept walking. A lump formed in my throat and I swallowed hard, following her. My heart thudded as I approached the table. The women still hadn't taken their eyes off me, and I could feel the judgment in their stares. I wasn't surprised by how they didn’t bother hiding it.“Who’s she?” someone asked..“She’s the one Daryl brought in, isn’t she?” another voice mocked. “She looks… ordinary.” someone else said. My spine straightened, and I kept my head high, pretending not to hear them. Was there something about me that made me appear different? I didn't know and this was certainly not the right place to figure it out. ‘You can do this, Ciara. Stay calm

    Chapter 20: Ciara’s POVI couldn’t breathe as I rushed down the hallway. My heart was racing, and every step felt like I was dragging my shame behind me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t erase the image of Daryl’s naked body from my mind.He hadn’t even flinched when I barged in. He just stood there, completely unbothered, like it was nothing. He didn't even react like I had just walked in on something I should’ve never seen.Why was I reacting this way? He wasn’t really my fiancé. This whole thing was fake. It was a contract, and nothing more. I mumbled the words to myself, trying to shove the panic back down.I didn’t look back because I didn’t want to know if he was behind me. But then a thought hit me.Wait. He wouldn’t follow me… right? He was still naked.That made me slow down, just for a second. My mind was spinning and in that moment of distraction, I caught my foot on the edge of a rug and stumbled. My hand shot out and grabbed the wall and I tried to steady myself.

    Chapter 21Ciara's POV I stood rooted in the same spot minutes after Daryl had left the balcony. This was what I signed up for, wasn't it? Why then did the idea of showing up at the Alpha feast seem like such a big deal to me? Maybe, it was because I knew that no matter how hard I tried, I could never fit in among the people here. I let out a quiet sigh as I walked down the hallway. When I reached Daryl’s chambers, I pushed the door open slowly and stepped inside. I wasn't surprised to find the room empty. It was a good thing Daryl wasn't here. I didn't know how I'd be able to get dressed in his presence. "Just an hour". I said under my breath, recalling his words. That’s all I had. One hour to myself.“I should get dressed before he comes back,” I muttered, glancing around.Then it hit me. I had nothing to wear. Nothing even close to what was probably expected at something like the Alpha Feast. My stomach twisted a little as I stood there, trying to think of a solution.But nothi

    Chapter 22Damon's POVI leaned back in the chair at the head table where I was seated. My fingers drummed on the table in irritation at my disinterest in the lively atmosphere of the grand hall. My detachment from said atmosphere couldn't be helped.I closed my eyes, bringing back to mind the intense glare of honey-dipped eyes and the fierce fire latched in her soul.Her...The loud music, chatter, and scent of roasted meats couldn't distract me from my thoughts. Thoughts that were consumed by the woman who had been on my mind for far too long.The double doors swung open, and Daryl strode in with Ciara clinging to his side.Ciara...I instinctively sat upright, my insides twisting at the sight. Ciara wasn’t just clinging to Daryl's side—he was holding her. Close. Too close. I went internally livid instantly.The entire hall went still as my eyes carefully took her in and my entire body froze. I swallowed the huge lump in my throat and adjusted in my seat."...What a beauty," Calyx h

    Chapter 23: Who could that be?Ciara’s POVI froze, my eyes widening as I looked up into Damon's blue eyes. My heart pounded in my chest, and I was unsure of what to do in that exact moment... in that exact position.Damon's hand gripped my waist firmly, and I felt his warm, almost comforting touch at my bare back, which made me shudder. "Ahem!" Someone said sharply behind us. It broke the moment, and I was out of Damon's arms in an instant like he'd burned me. I turned to see Luna Eleanor staring at us. Well... at me, condescendingly. And then, everyone else's eyes were now on us... Yeah, me again.My cheeks heated as embarrassment flooded my entire being. Damon leaned down and whispered into my ear."Don't let her make you feel small." His low voice caressed my ear and I turned to look at him, then pushed myself away from him. Before I could stop him, he swiftly grabbed my hand and planted a soft kiss on it, prompting a gasp from everyone.He stared at me under his thick lashes, w

    Chapter 24: Don't you dare!Ciara's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I pulled back almost immediately, ending the kiss as quickly as it began. I was breathless as I felt whoever had just kissed me step backwards. “Who-who are you?” I stuttered, struggling to catch my breath. Silence. I blinked in the darkness, trying to make out the outline of the person before me, but I could barely see. I still stood with my back pressed against the cold stone wall and my heart pounded hard in my chest. That was when I realised that I was alone. Whoever had kissed me had slipped away, and there was no way I'd know who it was. The aftershocks of what just happened rippled through me and my lips tingled with the taste of his lips. I knew that was not Daryl. He was still in the hall when I stepped out, and it certainly wasn't his scent. I knew his cologne too well. It was fresh, clean and sharp like peppermint.But this? It was something else. Something muskier. Woody. Heavy, and very unfamiliar. My m

If she suspected something, she didn’t show it—not through her face, not through her posture. She just stood there, statuesque, cold, and composed. The energy in the room shifted with her presence, like the oxygen had been sucked out.“I’m waiting,” she said calmly, yet her voice still carried weight as she closed the door behind her. “What were you two discussing?”My heart pounded so loudly, I could barely hear anything else. My limbs felt frozen. I couldn’t speak. Couldn’t think straight.Just moments ago, I had been pressing King Donovan for answers, for the truth behind his insane confession. And now—now his wife was here, looking at us like she’d caught us mid-act. Mid-sin.I tried to part my lips to say something—to explain, to fix this somehow—but he beat me to it.“Luna,” King Donovan said smoothly, stepping forward like he wasn’t bothe

    Chapter 33: The Alpha's offer. Ciara’s POV~~~Oh shit!I cursed under my breath as Lyra opened the double doors to the Solarium and stepped aside. .Leave, Ciara! My mind screamed, but my feet refused to obey. I swallowed hard as my eyes settled on King Donovan. The sunlight poured through the tall glass windows of the room, framing him in a warm golden glow. He was seated at a table, perched on an extravagant throne. The light made him look every bit the regal figure, as if it was designed to match the gold that I was wearing.I shook my head, cursing myself for even noticing. Why was I thinking about this? I quickly realized I was still standing at the door.I willed my legs to move, though each step I took felt like it required more effort than it should. I heard the door click shut behind me, and I knew Lyra was gone. That left just him and me.It was as though he’d been waiting for Lyra to leave the room. Slowly, he raised his head and looked at me, his expression unreadable.

    Chapter 32: God, Help me!Ciara’s POV“Hmm…” a soft moan escaped my lips as I gripped my sheets tightly. They cling to my skin, carrying the traces of last night. My eyes squeezed shut as my body throbbed with a dull ache. It wasn't the kind of ache that would make one think of love or passion. No, this was deeper and painful. I gasped as my mind flashed to Daryl. The way he had sex with me last night and left without a word, like a coward. It felt like none of this meant a thing to him. There was no goodbye, only the soft click of the door as he left while I was still in the bathroom."...God," I whispered, clutching a pillow and pressing my cheek against it. My fingers dug into the fabric of the pillow as I realized that his scent still clung to it. I pulled the sheets tighter around me and stared at the ceiling. I felt so empty and used. The emptiness inside me grew with each passing second as my chest ached. I rolled over on the pillow again, pressing my face into it. “I fe

    Chapter 31Daryl's POV ~~~~~Bang! I slammed the door bend me and walked further into the dark room. Then, I paused and returned to the door. My hands ran across the wall by the door, hoping to find the switch for the lightbulb. I found it almost immediately, and I switched it on. My eyes squinted because of the bright glare of the bulb, soon I grew used to the brightness and looked around the room. Earlier, I had asked Alaric to bring the documents to this room, and I had no plans of returning to the room until tonight. It was urgent now because I needed to work. I threw a glance at the large mahogany desk with stack of scrolls and paperwork on it. Then, I strolled over to it and sat, picking up a document. ~~~~Barely thirty minutes later, I grew bored of the documents, and I found myself staring out of the window into the courtyard. The crowd had trickled down, and I assumed the alpha feast was likely over. It was just a few drunk pack members who stayed behind to dance and

    Chapter 30:[DARYL]~~~~~~~~~~I had no idea how long I had spent in the woods, but I knew it was time to head back to the royal building when my bones began to ache badly. Before shifting, I had taken off my clothes and hung them on a tree's branch, then I went off, as I allowed myself to shift into my true form. This helped me to avoid thinking of the mess I had gotten myself into. But it was worse because Xere took over my consciousness and kept pushing me to return to the royal building. That was the last thing I wanted to do that night, especially after what I did with Ciara. I shouldn't have fucked her! My heart broke as I recalled how I had spiralled out of control and made her moan my name as I thrust into her. Now, I wasn't sure what was actually going on between Ciara and I. Was it the mate bond that Xere claimed to share with Ciara? Or was it my ridiculous desire to have her, just because my brother had once fucked her? I didn't know what to do, and I hated how cluele

    Chapter 29Damon's POV I frowned. “Left?” She nodded. “He..he walked out of the room and hasn't returned since then.” It was quite late, almost 2am in the morning. If Daryl wasn't here, it only meant that he was out in the woods. He usually went for runs around this time. When we were younger, he would always pride himself about being someone who hated to shift into his wolf form whenever he was among other members of the pack. Instead, he shifted in the woods. “I know where he is.” I scoffed. Ciara sat up, “At the alpha feast? Is the party over already?” “No…no. It isn't. The singing and dancing will go on for hours, but Daryl is not there.” Ciara rose from the bed, her arms pressing tight against the towel that was wrapped around her small figure. Calyx stirred as I noticed for the first time how exposed her neck was. I could see her cleavage as the towel pressed tight against her chest. “Tell me where he is. Please.” She said, “but first, I need you to step outside and wa

    Chapter 28Damon's POV I stood at the doorway of Daryl's chambers, my eyes pinned on Ciara. I noticed how her shoulders trembled and she silently folded into herself. She was crying and I didn't need to see her face to confirm that. Before I could stop myself, I asked, “Why are you crying, Ciara?” She didn’t answer. Instead, I saw her hand lift to her face, the back of it brushing roughly against her cheek as if she could somehow erase the evidence before I noticed. But it was too late. I already had. I just stood there, watching in silence. My fists clenched at my sides, and my jaw tightened. How had I ended up here?My mind drifted back to the grand hall, right after I caught her when she slipped. I could still remember the feel of her body in my arms. Then, it felt like my body had known how to hold her before my brain even caught up. I’d even kissed her hand. Well, I hadn’t meant to. It just happened.Shortly after that, I saw Ciara leave the hall, and I lost the desire to st

    Chapter 27Ciara's POV “Wh-what?” I stuttered, half worried that he'd stand up and walk away from me. My stomach tingled at how embarrassing it would be. Maybe he'd suddenly realised that we shouldn't be doing this. We shouldn't be one step away from fucking ourselves when we had a contract that clearly stated we were only in a fake relationship. “I want you, Ciara.” His voice came out rough. His eyes never left mine, and there was something primal in the way he looked at me. More like I was the only thing that kept him breathing.I blinked, stunned, as my lips parted. “What do you mean?”I raised my brows, confused as he took his fingers to his lips; the same fingers that were just between my thighs, the same fingers that had touched my wetness. “What are you doing?” I whispered, my throat dry. “I want to know what your juices taste like.” His eyes darkened. Then his tongue darted out and he licked them slowly, deliberately, like I was something forbidden and he was savoring

    Chapter 26Ciara's POV Daryl watched me in silence, his lips twitching slightly. My mouth went dry as I forced myself to look away from his face.I could still feel the warmth of his breath lingering on my skin. Biting down hard on my lower lip, I tried to distract myself from the way he kept staring at me. It seemed like he was about to devour me.“Ciara…” he said, his voice low and husky, breaking the silence between us.I shuddered. “Y-yes?”“I’ll kill anyone who touches you. Do you fuckin’ understand me? You’re mine.”I swallowed hard, my breath hitching as I felt his hands exploring the exposed skin where he’d torn my gown. My chest rose and fell with each passing second as I struggled to contain a moan.“What did I say?” he growled.“Daryl…” I stammered. “You’re drunk.”He surprised me with a low chuckle. “Really? Is that what you think?”“Let me go…” I struggled to pull away, but he turned me around, pressing my back against his chest and holding me firmly in place."You're not
