Cody's pov__________"Guess you're feeling much better" I said trying not to sound uninterested."Yes, thank you"Silence, when I was told my bride was ready for our date I was in-between the nude sketches I was making, one I left littered on the floor of my room, let's just hope none of the servants sees it."So uhh, I heard you came by yesterday to check on me""Yes I did, I was worried when I heard you had suddenly taken ill, you do look good in that short time""Wolves don't take time to heal" she said smiling and I smiled.Lumi was beautiful I never disregarded that fact but I just was not interested in her, maybe if kaliya wasn't in the picture I would have paid attention to her, who knows, but then there was still so much time to get to know her besides the moment our wedding gets finalized it would be just us, no more kaliya, she was nothing more than a challenge."What do you do in your kingdom?" She asked cheerily and I chuckled."Do you really want to know ?" I asked stari
Kaliya’s pov____________Was I bothered? No tge question is why did it bother me, not even one glance? He couldn’t spare me not even a glance ohh that Icked me, it annnoyed me greatly that I got bothered because of how much it bothered me.It’s been two days after stumbling upon Cody and Lumi on the field, the whole time he was talking to my father I was screaming look at me in my head, i didnt even pay attention to Lumi, I went over to her room that night to apologize didnt want her thinking that it was because of our little altercation that I ignored her that day, I-“You’ve been getting lost in your head lately Kaliya are you sure you are okay?” Lumi voice broke through my thoughts and I sighed, she was right I have been thinking too much lately and although I feel okay I doubt I am okay but then I wouldn’t tell her that.“I am doing great” again with the lies, before the ending of the week i should be a professional liar.“Thats good then we should head out for breakfast”Lumi sa
Cody's Pov__________The only good time I have had in the North so far was the argument at the table. For once, here, it felt like men being men. The North were too reserved in their speech and it gladdened me to hear Akkar and Kato throw in some curse words during the argument. One more thing interested me.Incubus demons doing the thing we do best - manipulation.To stay away from an incubus demon, you have to never think about them. But, oops, the virgin of the moon had this south king on her mind and it was easy to penetrate her thoughts on the table.It felt like victory when I went into her head and she had heard me. I was very close to achieving the bet with my friends and me. This was a very big step, because the more I spread into her thoughts, the wider it got for me to completely go into her dreams.Kaliya…I was going to snatch her from the moon goddess.The discussion was over and the bride's family stood up to go. Lumi and Kaliya had left the table earlier but when I s
Kaliya's Pov__________\It was past forty-five minutes that I had been waiting for Lumi, but she hadn't arrived yet. My father and her father were not around either. I needed to go to the temple and come back on time. "Proceed" I ordered the carriage, which started moving immediately. Lumi was going to join me later if she wished. I didn't want to miss my prayer time because of her.Moreover, she would be leaving with her husband soon, and I needed to get used to going to the temples alone, or else, I would be stuck missing her for life.I looked out the little carriage window as we moved. The temple allowed me to have a clear mind as it was only the goddess and me in our trance. The goddess would speak to me about previous things that I had prayed for and I would relay the message to those who were concerned.But today, I was going to the goddess to ask for forgiveness. Sympathy for breaking my prayer rules and strength to overcome the next phase of troubles that awaited me. I was
Kaliya’s pov_____________I never thought going to uncle kato’s home will bother me, my mind was nowhere settled because I know what I was returning back to.The two weeks I spent in the castle was blissful for me, I had been sent back home to deliver some message to some people, I was reminded what I was and what I stood for, I made sure I rededicated my life back to the goddess, my mind and thoughts were clear.“We will be there soon” I heard one of the guards say and I nod my head, traveling solo was pretty boring for me thats why my father always followed but this time he couldn’t now I have no one to talk to but myself, maybe i should get a personal maid to escort me everywhere.It was not a bad idea and I shall pitch it to my father soon but for now the silence is my friend.I wonder if Lumi misses me, she should be occupied with her husband, now that I think about it, it was the first time in two weeks I had thought about him, wow.“We are here “ I heard before the carriage ca
Prologue._____Alpha Akkar Silver, the Northern ruler of the Denilis Pack looked around his palace one day and a tear fell from his eyes. The kingdom he had ruled for years failed to get better and he had heard the disgruntled reports from his people. He needed resources to be able to maintain his position as an Alpha, else, the rumors that went around saying he was bad luck would in no time vote him out of the throne. So he set out, without informing anyone -even his wife, to the southern part of their world to seek help.The Southern and Northern Islands had never beheld a reason to encounter each other. This was because the Southerners were considered predators and the Northerners, prey. The Southerners were ruled by demons and not just any demon, the incubus demons - that fed on women's lust especially while they slept. They were sexual predators.Reaching the South, Akkar headed to the palace of their King requesting a meeting. He was approved and he proceeded to meet King Cod
Kaliya's pov____________"Please let me come with you, I never go anywhere""And that is for a reason Kaliya," my father said. I can tell from the sound of his voice that he was so done with this conversation but dismissing me was one thing he couldn't do."But you and Uncle Kato would be there, I shall be well protected" This was my trump card, I just hoped I was playing it well. My father cared for nothing aside from my safety.My mother died early but before she did I had been taught and tutored on what I was, and my importance to the Kingdom. I understood why he was so skeptical about letting me attend my cousin's wedding but that was probably the only fun thing that would ever come my way and I was not ready to pass on the opportunity."Come on father, where else better to protect me from than your sight? Please let me go, Lumi needs me there too," I said looking for more sad things to utter.My father was a strict man and had rules for everything, but he loved me and he loved
Kaliya's Pov _____________Midnight came, but we were still not asleep. It was overwhelming, the stress Lumi had to face for a wedding. I was extremely glad I was part of this process, I wasn't going to experience it anyway, so why not soak in the moment?The first minute I tried closing my eyes to get some sleep in Lumi's room, the door opened and she squealed. "You need to see this" She dropped a dress on the bed. "You are going to be my bridesmaid."I sat up, looking at the dress beside me. "You know that is not possible. I have to stay with father all through the wedding.""No one else can take your place, Kaliya and you don't have to do much. You only have to stay beside me" she said, not waiting for me to say anything, she started to tear the wrap of the dress. "It's a burqa dress specifically made for you, no skin, all covered.""It's beautiful," I muttered, my hand brushing the fabric of the dress. Indeed no one else dressed in a burqa like me, so if I rejected Lumi's offer,

Kaliya's Pov_________Uncle Kato would keep to his promises, right? He would never reveal that I spoke to Cody, right? This was the first time I was breaking the rules and if my father found out…I didn't know the consequences and I feared greatly what it might be. While panicking, I entered into Lumi's room. Was it okay if I informed her that Cody had come here?"Lumi." I walked to her bed. "Father," she said, raising herself from the bed as she looked over to the door where my Father and her father walked in. My stomach knotted."I heard that you are feeling unwell" My father moved toward her, and he placed his palm on her forehead. "You'll be fine before evening, you're a strong wolf.""Yes, I will, Father. I must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed." Lumi chuckled."The pressure and tension of your wedding are enough to make you unwell. However, I would never risk your health for entertainment."She nodded and my father hugged her. "I canceled your meeting with your husban
Cody’s pov ___________ To say I was shocked was an understatement, I was enthralled and weirdly saitied. “You should not have done that!” Kato said staring at me angrily after Kaliya walked away. “Done what?” I asked genuinely confused, I had come the moment I had Lumi was sick, well I did know Kaliya would be here but I sincerely didint have it according to plan to make her talk, atleast not like this. “You just had to force her hand a-“ “Let me correct something before you blame me further, I was having a conversation with you not her, she responded on her own accord” “That’s because you were being difficult and causing a scene, besides your question was directed at her” “You were the only one being difficult, I don’t see why you could not let me see my bride, you were the one being stubborn here Kato, it all could have been avoided “ I said without feeling apologetic, I mean who would, I was finally able to get her to talk. “I see why my brother gets agitated around you, y
Kaliya's Pov._________I rushed into Lumi's room after hearing what had happened, my heart was palpitating and as I reached her bed and saw her lying down and looking swollen, I panicked."Lumi.." I whispered her name, and she slowly opened her eyes."You're here, Kaliya" she managed to smile. "What happened? The maid said you were blazing hot throughout the night. You should have called me, why did you wait till morning?""I didn't want to worry you.""When did this start?""At midnight, I didn't know what was wrong. Maybe I am nervous about the whole preparation."As Lumi spoke, panic set in my chest. At midnight? Shortly after my prayer with the goddess. Could it be.? Could it be that…Did I cause this?Oh my…goodness.I had thought about a man during prayer, I was distracted, and this was the consequence. How could I have done that to you Lumi? 'Kaliya you need to understand the power you hold! There are grave consequences for every one of your mistakes!' My father's words rang
Kaliyas pov___________“I am so sorry I-““Why are you apologizing, you did nothing wrong”When I left the dinner, I came straight to my room, I didn’t even realize Lumi had followed me until she spoke.“I know but he is my husband and well soon to be husband but he disrupted dinner and Im sorry you had to listen to all that i-““I was not bothered about what he said I mean I was clueless to it’s meaning but the attitude in which he spoke and how he riled up father was alarming”I said pacing the room, I could not describe how I was feeling, I rarely felt like this, I wanted to punch him in the throat, I’ve never been violent, never even had violent thoughts, I am utterly displeased with myself but I can’t help it.Cody was trouble and I can tell, especially with the way he gets me to feel things that i didnt know exist like right now I am pacing, I never pace.Taking a deep breath I stopped pacing and sat on the bed.“I know he said some bad words, one that provoked dad, but who was
