LYNEXIA Deep down, I'm certain Dimitri will never do that even though I hate to be the one to vouch for him. He may be the devil, but he has a twisted sense of honor. He rolls me over in a flash until I'm facing him. His gaze narrows a fraction and I feel triumphant. My words definitely strike a nerve. A scowl etches a harsh line across his face, the raw heat in his gaze twisting a knot in my gut. Even back when Dimitri was leaner, Dimitri always possessed a primal magnetism that could make me melt. Now, with his sculpted, muscular body, it is a force almost impossible to resist. My legs scream to run far away from him as his gaze becomes pitch black but I remain put. That will just be pathetic. I hold my ground, stark like a dry fish between Dimitri's warm body and the counter biting into my skin. My legs tremble violently. But lucky me, Dimitri isn't looking down. I shift my gaze to his chest before my legs give out and I embarrass myself. Dimitri earns a gasp from me as his fi
LYNEXIA Seated on a couch adjacent to Dimitri's home office, my legs bounce uncontrollably on the floor as I watch Dimitri and this beautiful woman whisper hushly to each other from across the room. The desire I feel has successfully evaporated like a puff into the air. The woman slides a glance in my direction and leans closer to Dimitri, pushing her chest forward as if to purposely make me angry. It works because something I don't dare acknowledge flickers inside of me. Dimitri's gaze slides to me moments later, lingering three beats too long on me, his eyes trying to communicate to me but I'm too caught up in whatever the hell it is I don't want to acknowledge. Then, he proceeds to close the door against my face. Fucker. My teeth bite too hard on my lips until I taste a coppery taste on my tongue. Who is this beautiful woman to Dimitri and what the hell are they talking about that I shouldn't know about? My mind goes back and forth before the puzzle finally clicks into place in
DIMITRI The next day when I meet with Lynexia in the hospital, she has the biggest fucking smile on her lips and it makes me pretty suspicious when I know she is nine times out of ten planning my murder. Since the deal between Lynexia and me was already sealed, there was no reason for me to stay away from Felicity again. The reason I stayed away this long was because I didn't think I would be able to see my daughter like this in a vulnerable state. So I forced myself to not visit her in the hospital, instead, I sent someone trusted. Opposite to Lynexia's opinion of me, I plan on making her my Luna and my wife again. I don't intend on making her into some bed warmer, she is too precious to me than that even if she doesn't see it and she hates me enough to try to stab me in the back. It will take a lengthy time for us to be the way we used to be before the invasion destroyed us but I intend on winning her back, that is if she doesn't kill me first like she promised to do. If ther
LYNEXIA It'd been so long since I slept this peacefully. Ever since Felicity was diagnosed with the rare blood disease, I have had several sleepless nights where I would just stare into nothingness and let the tick-tock of the clock fill my ears until sunlight started streaming in through the window. Now, I feel much at peace knowing that Felicity will get her treatment and I will finally have my daughter back. In a month. It feels surreal to be true. Almost like I was holding my breath underwater all this while and now, I don't feel constricted and I can finally breathe. so when I feel a nudge to the side of my waist, I burrow deeper into the bed and grumble. There is no way I'm going to let anyone interrupt my sleep. Not after so long. All things been equal—if Dimitri doesn't ruin things—, everything will be back to how they were in a month. I will have my daughter sleeping in my arms again and I will be privileged to hear her carefree laughter and all the playfulness that
LYNEXIA He sucks in a sharp breath, his eyes stopping on my bare legs. "Want to test their theory?" The tip of his fingers tingles my skin. I scramble away from his touch, knowing how shameless my body and wolf are for him.He chuckles richly. "Well, except if you want me to take your bath." The glint in his eyes tells me he won't hesitate. "Which I will gladly do, go take your bath." He lacks any sense of boundary so of course he grips my bare thigh and pulls me back to the edge of the bed.My body which doesn't have an ounce of shame reacts instantly, a shiver jolting through my spine. He digs his fingers into my flesh. Not enough to hurt me but enough to make warmth trickle down, settling between my legs. At this point, my body and I are two distinct individuals. While she rejoices at any slight touch from Dimitri, I hate him with all my entire being. Figures, this man is my fated mate, obviously my inner wolf is
LYNEXIA "Why didn't you tell me?" I ask as panic claws its way up my throat. "Because you would have panic." He replies. "Well, I am now." I throw my hands up in exasperation. "Less time to panic." He says and I look at him in disbelief. I open my mouth and close it back, having no word for Dimitri. Taking my hand, he leads "You are insane." My mouth finally moves. "No," Dimitri deadpans. "This is me proving that I want you as my Luna." "By subjecting me to this?" I say, frustration bubbling up my throat. "The Elders won't accept me as the Luna." My inside recoil at the judgemental, scornful look I am about to get. "I won't let anyone disrespect or as much look down on you." He says as we slide into the elevator. I scoff. "Like you did five years ago." My words sting the air around me. Immediately the elevator door seals shut Dimitri swiftly positioned himself in front of me, pressing my back against the railing of the elevator. The cold metal against my skin i
LYNEXIA Finally, I let my shoulder slump when the Elders, including those from Moonstone pack, leave the meeting roomI downcast my gaze to my fidgeting hands. "This isn't worth it. Making me your Luna isn't worth the trouble. It will cause more problems for you." Dimitri grabs my chin, his touch gentle yet ferocious. A gasp elicit from my mouth. Looking straight into his eyes I don't waver at the sight of warmth in them. "You are worth it. You are worth everything." The sincerity in his voice trickles down my skin. A frown etches on my face. "As an Alpha, the last thing you want is for your Elders to turn their backs against you." I say. "it's like digging your own grave.""I don't care." He growls. "I don't care what it will cause me to have you by my side." Inhaling deeply, I twist my chin out of his grip, his thumb lingering a beat too long on my lips before his hand falls. Unable to take it anymore, I blurt out. "I don't understand. Why are you doing this? What is your ulte
LYNEXIA As I dip back into consciousness, I'm greeted by a throbbing ache at the side of my head. The familiar look of the library gradually comes into view as the pain spreads from my head down to my toes. I let out a low groan of agony. As confusion swims over my head, I scan the library anxiously for what the hell just hit me. "Welcome back." A feminine voice licks the back of my neck. I snap my head back in an unnatural angle causing a muscle to pull my back with a sharp pain. Shit. I lift myself to my feet with so much difficulty before turning in the direction of the voice. My hand curls into a fist when I come in contact with the culprit, anger rolling in waves through my body. Elena. She stands before me, draped in a long satin gown, her blonde-white which mirrors mine cascading down her shoulder like rainfall. Her lips are thinned into a sneer as if my mere presence irritates her. "I was hoping you wouldn't wake up." She sighs nonchalantly, blowing her fingern
