Kain’s POVI finally see through their plans the moment I’m surrounded by this insignificant twigs ready to lose their lives to keep me surrounded and the arrow pointed at me from afar just before it strikes.There’s no room to block it so I contemplate taking it head on and dealing with the consequences later, until a small frail body jumps in from nowhere taking the shot in only a split second.It takes half a second for realization to dawn on me, for her motionless body and the blood seeping out of the wound and pulling around her to finally hit.To finally seem real.Her eyes closed shut and her expression turning pale.Suddenly it’s the day of the fire, when I thought I had lost her all over again and every bit of control in me dispels before I realize it,I feel my wolf take over my body pushing my conscience mind aside, even with that our rage is united as one, burning fiercely like a searing flame.The only thing above to quell it now is blood. The blood of my enemies.I half
Lilith’s POVI don’t realize my eyes are closed until they feel heavy and that floating feeling a round me seizes.Like waking up from a long bad night’s sleep with paralysis mixed in there I drag my heavy lids open and immediately come in contact with a blaring blind light.I wince from the light reducing my eyes into slits before silhouette blocks most of it.I wait for a while until my eyes adjust to the light and his face becomes more clear.“Kain?”He says nothing at first, only offering a small smile.“Good morning.”His gently touch warms against my cold skin with warming comfort. I lean into it humming in the satisfaction of his skin contact.It almost feels like I’m stuck in a haze, in a world where it’s just Kain and I together.I hum against his touch closing my eyes again and loosing myself in the moment, before memories begin filling themselves in slowly.The fight and then the ambush, where Kain was about to get shot and what happened next…I jumped in.My eyes fly open
Although his touch has its own calming effect suddenly the searing heat on my skin only increases to adapt to my new comfort and his touching isn’t doing much for.the pack doctor available suggests dousing me in a bath of cold water from the stream and even with that, with the momentary cooling effect that quickly subsides.it only keeps getting worse to the point my vision blurs like I’ve caught some kind of crazy flu.and I stay that way until my eyes close and I fall asleep.The next time my eyes do open again, some of the pain has subside and I’m resting on a clinic bed with Kain by my side talking to the assigned pack doctorThe moment I make a small sound both set of eyes look to me quickly.Kain’s are filled with immediate relief.Its almost cute how worried he seems to have been for me.“How do you feel?” He asks, beating the doctor at his job.I only smile to hide fifty percent of just how bad all this is.“Never been better.” I joke.He sees through the joke but offers me a
We’re stuck in a stared down for a few second with hard cold raw emotions hanging over both of us couple with the subtle arousal curling up from with me.This is the absolute worse time to be horny. Not when I’m in the middle of arguing why I don’t want to get tied down to him permanently.But neither my body nor my wolf cares at this point and this goddamn heat isn’t helping matter at all.That sexy brooding look in his eyes with burning flames of anger that could turn me into ashes if I look at them too long, it pools arousal fluids from my core messing up with my thoughts.Discerning what is important and what isn’t only grows more difficult.I stare at his lips, gulping down the saliva forming in my mouth.“Regardless of what you say, we aren’t mates.” I manage to force out of my lips He takes a step forward while his expression changes.“It seems I’ll have to force you to change your mind.”“No amount of convincing is going to change my mind.”Suddenly he’s too close to me and a
If only I had known Arden’s true plan, maybe I could have done something to prevent the situation, to avoid playing Kain right into his hands.Never in a thousand years would I have thought that he would give up his life’s mission so easily and let himself fall in a schemed planned by Arden.My life is only insignificant in comparison to the countless others that are at stake.I don’t bother with the rest of my food getting up and leaving, with Yvonne left behind me while she grumbles at my behavior.All that matters now is finding Kain, the same person I was planning to avoid until I am ready to come in terms with this mate situation.More and more it’s become easier to spot him especially when I really put my mind to it.It feels like a natural instinct just knowing what direction he might be in especially when he’s close enough.I follow my instincts up until the training grounds where he’s conversing with two of his warriors, laying don commends for them while they only nod in agr
The strangest feelings tug at my heart that clearly aren’t mine but feels like something close to it.Feelings of content and satisfaction seep endlessly into my mind waking me up in the process and I drag my heavy eyes opening moaning.I feel well rested, my joints feel refreshed and good like a newly born child, as though I’m floating on soft gentle clouds.An the emotions welling in my chest, happiness and content continuously welling and pulsing in my mind as though they are mine, in a way that confuses me.What is this overwhelming feeling in my chest?I try to move forward but strong hands grab at me drawing me back against a warm hard wall and pins me against it.Kain grabs ahold of me with both his hands.“Don’t leave yet.” He says simply getting comfortable with me right next to him.I don’t bother arguing not wanting to leave myself feeling the most at ease I’ve ever felt.I realize the feeling in my chest aren’t mine mixed with Kain’s.His emotions well up in my mind tellin
‘My queen’The words he has said the day before stick with me longer than I want I to.Was he serious, ds he even know what that means or was it just something that just felt right to say in the moment.Maybe the after effects of the mating bond messed with his sense and in the bid of struggling where to classify me as the words easily slipped from his lips as an answer to offer me in that moment so preserve my feelings.Though I don’t really mind, if I don’t fit in anywhere yet, everything is still messy for me and the fact that I am mated still feels a bit weird and foreign for me.And I’m not even given the chance to slowly ease into these new circumstances with Kain dragging me practically everywhere he goes today.Since the sun has risen I’ve been glued to his side, holding hands while we pass the hall way and receiving a lot of stares from the maids passing by.I’ve long since prayed for the ground to open up and swallow me whole, but that’s not happening is it.And Kain is a bu
Kain’s POVMinutes later from leaving the conference hall and having her give me more than a handful of reasons why she can’t be my Luna, she finally falls asleep the second she sits on the bed.I watch the gentle rise and fall of her chest and the way her lips, slightly ajar pout in her sleep.As though she couldn’t be even more perfect she shocks me again.I drop a single kiss on her head tucking her into my bed and giving her the room she needs to sleep.The mate bond might still be taking a toll on her, that would explain her tiredness in the middle of the day, but I don’t mind it. Times like this allow me the chance to take care of her.Something she would rather die than let me do.Her strong headed personality is both her strength and her weakness.I tread carefully out of the room closing the door behind me before facing forward again more sternly.I’ve had most of my fun for today, dragging her along with me purposefully to cause a stir and raise awareness, introducing her to
