"Mark her.""I wanted to mark her right then but what is she doing in the palace?""She is Dave's cousin who always handled his official work." Henry described. Xavier's eyes became darkened. "His work? He is not a good man. She works for him?""She is a good woman." Dylan spoke out."How?""She is loyal to your Luna. That means she has some reason too. Find out her reason."Xavier stared at Dylan. "I will see about it."A car stopped in the entrance area of the restaurant. Dylan saw Alice and Ella coming out of the car.They entered the restaurant and the Lycan fighters followed them. They came to Dylan and bowed to him."We did as you told, Alpha."Alice scrutinized their expressions. Dylan nodded at them. "Come back, when I will call you."They nodded their heads.Ella hid behind Alice. Alice patted her hand. "You are showing him that you are weak and fragile which is not true. Just face your fate and try to understand him. You just met him, let him introduce himself to you first.
"Then how can I name this relationship? Who am I to you? Your lover? Boyfriend?Will you be my girlfriend?"Alice could not be more shocked. "Did you just propos-"He kissed her neck. "Hmmm. Will you?""Why did you become like this so suddenly?" She asked shyly. When she was in the Blood Moon, they were developing their relationship yet he was not that romantic. What happened to him suddenly?He hugged her and whispered, "I have always had misconceptions about you yet I still wanted you to stay beside me. But now, I don't want any misunderstanding between us again."She hugged him back. "Thank you, Dylan. I can be your everything, whatever you want." She replied honestly.She felt him kissing her neck. His tongue was wandering around her neck giving her body a shiver. He bit her earlobe and she moaned. "Don't try to seduce me. You don't know what I will do to you. That wedding night is nothing. I want to do many more things which are beyond your imagination."She bit her lower li
"Why didn't you tell me that your mother is alive?"Alice looked at him in horror."Y-You kn-know about it?"Dylan narrowed his eyes."What do you think about me? Who am I?"Alice did not know how to behave at that time. She didn't tell him, did she?How would he get to know about it under the King's security?How?A tear rolled down from her eye. She bit her lip to control her tears. He pulled her head to his chest. "Cry."For the first time, he told her to cry. She could not retain herself and cry in his chest."He took away my mother somewhere. Dylan, please do something. He will kill her."He stroked her hair. His eyes became darker."Why didn't you tell me before? Don't you believe me?"She shook her head and looked up at him."I-I tried. But his men whipped mother's back because of me talking to you. She was already sick. Who knows where he hid her? I am worried for her, Dylan."Dylan looked mad. He was mad at Dave. That man caged his mother. Though she was not his biological m
"I will go back to my realm the day after tomorrow."Alice felt tugged in her heart. Her gaze anguished. Dylan felt her sadness."I am still here. You have to do many things here. Don't waste your time thinking about me. I will be back soon."Alice sighed. After dinner, Xavier took Ella somewhere to talk.Dylan and Alice talked for some time at the table."Dylan""Hmm?""Don't hate my mother. She is not the same as her husband."Dylan did not respond. Alice stared at him. She wanted to go back with him to his pack house. That was her home. "When will it be over, Dylan?" She asked softly."Very soon."Alice nodded and saw her phone ring. She looked at the screen.Dave called her.Dylan gestured to her to take it."Hello?""Where are you?" An angry voice came behind the phone."I came outside with Ella.""With whose permission?""I am coming back. I was not feeling well so I came out.""Come back right now.""I got it."Alice cut the call. She could see Dylan's grim face.He stood up.
"Dylan?"Alice ran to him and hugged him tightly."How did you come here?" She asked and moved slightly.Dylan smiled. "Didn't I ask you for your time? You said yes, didn't you?"Alice was baffled. "But you said date but it's a night time how can we-"She paused and blushed when she realized what he meant."D-Did you send him outside?""You didn't take my words seriously, did you?""I forgot that. I was upset that you are going back. He told me not to go outside his chamber. I can't even reach Ella." Alice lowered her head sadly.Dylan nodded and walked forward. He looked around the chamber.It was a master bedroom with a few luxurious pieces of furniture. There was a terrace attached to the chamber.A little arrangement was there for sitting. Dylan glanced at Alice who looked upset. He took her hand. "Let's sit."Alice felt uncomfortable. "What if he comes back?"Dylan frowned. "Are you afraid of him?"Alice shook her head. "No, but what if he hurt my mom again?"Dylan pulled her w
Alice opened her eyes. She saw a white decorated ceiling. She felt refreshed, she slept well last night. She turned around and saw the bed was empty. She tried to sit up but moaned when she felt the pain in her lower body.She looked inside the quilt that wrapped around her body. She was naked and her whole body was full of love bites.Her finger brushed her thighs and she hissed. "That man is a beast!" She mumbled and sighed.She looked around and saw the room was empty. "Has he left?"She slowly got down from the bed and went to take a shower. She smiled when she remembered how she spent last night with Dylan.He made love to her.Every time he kissed her, he told her how much he loved her. He even told her that he would rescue her from the evil of their life.Alice forgot that she was in Dave's room. She didn't have any clothes so she wore a bathrobe and came out.She heard a knock. She went to the bed and wrapped the quilt around her body. She could not let anyone see her body
Dave came back to the Lycan Palace and saw Xavier with Ella. He was shocked when he saw the mark on Ella's neck. He was fuming looking at the sight."You marked her?" He growled at Xavier.Xavier was talking with Alice about the place called Navana. She told her what Mr. Smith informed her about the place. Xavier told her that he would talk to Dylan about it.After talking with her, he came down and sat with Ella, at that time Dave entered and saw them together.Xavier stood up. "Of course I did.""How could you?""What do you mean? Can't I mark my own mate?" Xavier said as he stood in front of Dave.Ella lowered her head in fear. She did not know what Dave would do to her. He always slapped her or used violence against her every time she made a mistake. She had to take that because of her parents. But now she was mated with the Theta of his rival. What would he do to her?"Mate?" Dave glanced at Ella as he scanned her expression. He chuckled. "You are his mate? When did this happen?
Time passed very fastly.Tomorrow night would be the Full Moon.Each and every day was a challenge for Alice. She broke down a lot of times. She had no one there to tell how she felt. Dave took her phone a couple of days ago telling her that she did not need any phone. He reminded her about their wedding every single day.Alice did not stop and sat without doing anything. She killed the last councilor who was Dave's man. She did not need to use the death weed to kill him. She directly killed him. Dave knew about it and scolded Alice but he needed to marry her first so he sacrificed his another pawn for the marriage.Alice handled the royal politics with one hand. She grabbed all the men to her side. Nowadays all the councilors started to talk against Dave's back. They didn't dare to talk in front of him but Alice knew that they were on her side.About the Navana place, Alice wanted to go there since Dylan told her once about going there. But she could not get a chance because Dave w
