last update Last Updated: 2024-12-05 21:36:02

Dahlia’s POV:

I stood there until the lashings became faster and harder, tears blur my vision but one thing is clear.

I could see very well, our mate’s face each time he whipped her. He was smiling, like the smile of a little boy who received a present he’d always been wishing for and finally received it. To him, it looked like some kind of release. It sickened me, and I could only pray to the moon goddess he would stop before he beats Scar to death.

Finally, he stopped.

“Well then, there you have it.” He clears his throat before putting his belt back in place, smiling darkly at Scar who had her head pressed against the floor, surrounding by her own small pool of blood.

I hear Ayesha whimper, but when Tatum flicks his eyes to her, she turns numb as if pretending she wasn’t just expression emotion.

With a long, satisfied sigh, he whirled to me. A cheery smile now plastered on his face as he looked at me.

“Now come, Dahlia, it is time for bed,” He takes my hand, pulling me to the flight

I always knew there was something off with Tatum! Atlas, Hades, Lola or someone needs to go and help Dahlia why haven’t they reached out to her since she moved with Tatum or answered her calls?

    Dahlia's POV:Tatum left me in the room, only to come back with a frightened-looking Paula in his arms. I furrow my brows and move toward her, but Tatum, the behemoth of a man as he was, blocked me before I can get to her.“Why is she here?” I ask instead.He cocks his head to the side.“Paula is new here,” He says, turning around before motioning for the girl to enter.“New?” I squeeze my brows.Paula reluctantly steps further in, her eyes darting to me for a second before looking back down.“In the next full moon, she’s turning sixteen,” Tatum’s eyes lit up as he turned to me. Something about the way his teeth flashed and mischievous smile made me uneasy.“As her master, it is my responsibility to teach her what she needs to know,” he adds, and I look at him.Master? I question in my head. A smile tugs on his lips before he turns, extending a large hand out to the poor, frightened girl. “Come, pet,” Why he calls her pet is far beyond me.Shuddering, Paula reaches for his hand. I

    Valerian’s POV:After my confrontation with Lola, I drove over to Cathy and explained everything that happened between us since the party. I know the baby was mine, and I wasn’t going to let her believe some other man fathered it. I wasn’t going to do that to my pup. I expected to receive a slap in the face, but was surprised when Cathy not only forgave me for tricking her, but accepted me with open arms. She confessed that she felt like I was a different person, and that she was falling in love. Still, after speaking with Lola, I knew the bond would only get stronger, so I told Cathy to cool things down until I figure out what to do with my mate and my wolf. A part of me wanted to keep them both, but my wolf wouldn’t have it. He only wants Lola, and I have to admit, after experiencing the strong bond flowing through us, I began to want her too.Sitting in the couch of our living room, I sit across Atlas and his father, the former Alpha Maxon. Beside me is Hades’ whining ass ever sinc

    Chapter 86Dahlia’s POV:I woke up from the searing pain that washed over my body, jolting me awake. I clutched my heart, wanting to rip it apart only to make the pain stop. I lurched forward, unable to stop myself from scratching and clawing at my chest, no one was there to stop me. Even as I tried to stop myself, I couldn’t. Not with the bond and his betrayal compelling me to do so.The last time I felt this pain it was when I found out he was fucking someone. “Aahh!” A scream tore out of my chest. The pain was getting worse. Tears streamed down my face the longer I went clawing at my chest.If I don’t stop, I would no doubt bleed to death. My wolf growls loud in my head. I could feel her anger, then she whimpers giving me a taste of her pain, and a long, devastating howl follows. She was livid her mate would do this to us. Didn’t he promise he won’t do it again?Looks like his promises were empty, because why else would my wolf and I go through this sudden pain?‘Stop, Diana,’ I

    Chapter 87Dahlia’s POV:All afternoon we’ve been devising a plan. Once the pain stopped, I knew Tatum was finished. Two hours after he fucked another she-wolf, he casually entered our bedroom as if he did absolutely nothing wrong, kissed me on the cheek and said he was going out and won’t be back for the next couple of hours. It was nearly seven in the evening now, and I figured this was one of those nights when he would come home awfully late into the night. I was a little relieved it wasn’t Ayesha this time, since she still hasn’t fully healed. Like me she’s having trouble healing, and I wonder why all the women in this house seems to be healing not more than an average human. Some of the maids were eager to join us in our plans, and I let them in. The older woman, however, which I learned was named Thalia, and also Ayesha’s mother, chimes in every now and then to check on our progress.For now, I look over to the large wooden table sitting in the middle of one of the entertainm

    Hades’ POV:Before I could blink, Atlas charged right at me as we both shift into our raving, savage, and blood thirsty wolves. My wolf leaps at the sight of a challenge, alpha to alpha, and it’s making him rather more difficult to control. ‘You fucker!’ he growls, hearing him open up the mind-link as his wolf pounced on me. When I got the chance, I quickly ducked my head and sprinted towards the door, not wanting to make a mess of this house I had fully furnished. Atlas catches me with his teeth the moment I took one step outside, and I groan feeling the stinging pain now flowing through my torso as his wolf clamped its huge canines into my ribs, flinging me across the front porch before I land on my ass on the concrete ground.From the distance, I could hear faintly Lisa’s insufferable giggling while we fought savagely out front of the house.One thing is for sure, I am going to fucking rip her head off because of this.‘I fucking trusted you to lay your dirty hands off my sister

    Dahlia’s POV:Peering up at the moon, I suddenly thought of Hades. Valerian, too, and how they are doing without me. I felt a twinge of pain, knowing they must be happily tending to their fated mates this very moment. The mate bond is both magical and mysterious, yet mine with Tatum just feels… plastic, unnatural, forced. I have tried to give it a shot, but all this while I have been mated to a damn monster. He doesn’t love me the way a mate is supposed to love his soulmate. Mates don’t do that to their fated, their other half. They don’t run around sticking their dicks into just anyone because they want to, knowing it would severely affect their mates and the bond. Either Tatum don’t really care or he doesn’t know about the aftereffects of his infidelity.I sigh, tilting my head back up to stare at the night sky. It is a full moon tonight, and my mind wanders. In nights like this, Hades and Val would sneak into my room, wrap me in their strong arms, and whisper sweet nothings into m

    Dahlia’s POV:I curse under my breath just as Tatum slams the bathroom door. Glaring at the door, I plop down on the bed when Lexa pushes forward.‘It’s okay, Dahlia. I’m strong enough to house the pain for both of us,’ Diana tries to comfort me, but I felt more guilty than assured.‘Still, it isn’t right, Diana. A mate is supposed to be loyal to his own, that is why we have a bond,’‘Which is broken now, Dahlia, unless…’ I wait for her to continue, but she remains in silence, and I felt curious.‘Unless what?’I hear her sigh in my head before she says, ‘Unless he commits to us and only us, it will help repair the bond,’ Diana whispers, and somehow I could hear hope through her voice.Hope that our mate would eventually come around and love us the way we are supposed to. ‘I doubt that, you saw what he did to Ayesha, how he treats the women he hired in this house. Do you really want to stay with a man like that?’ For a moment, I heard nothing from Diana but silence. I sigh, shaking

But in order for this plan to work, I have to make the first step, which Thalia entrusted to me being that I am the only one who could get close to him.At this very moment, I am lying on his chest, my hand pressed against his rock-hard abs which my wolf can’t seem to stop salivating over. Diana purrs and chucks at me the memories of the last couple of hours he had spent on us. Until now I still couldn’t believe he can also be a gentleman in bed, that he could actually control his strength to avoid hurting me, yet it was a mixture of pain and pleasure, somehow he decided to keep the pain lowkey this time, leaning more on the pleasure part. I look up at his sleeping face, admiring his features and wondering how the hell this beautiful man with an angelic face carries a demon inside of him, a monster no one can tame, not even me, his mate.

    Chapter 123 Hades’ POV: Three weeks later. Everything was revealed later that night. The dead bodies piled up in the room, Scarlet’s origin, and the rogues he’d been keeping in that private house Damien apparently gave to him after he’d been crowned prince. King Damien had been furious. Despite what he did, we chose to give him and the others a proper funeral, which will be coming up in the next few days. Hopefully by then, Dahlia will wake up, and accept the mark I’d given to her as my chosen mate. “How long has it been now?” Val asks, leaning against the door frame in my office. I shrug, “A few weeks. Three tops,” I reply and sigh. Val nods, and I look at him. “How’s Cathy?” I ask. “She’s fine, been trying to get her to take her supplements,” “Well, is she?” “Not without a bribe,” he chuckles, and I shake my head. Of course, he can get his woman to make love to him despite being pregnant. But then, it begs the question. “And what about Lola?” “Well, she doesn’t really

If she is lying, I’ll give you a go signal. Kill her.” I tell him just so he could shut up already. He nods, but I know the reason he’s acting suspicious is because the last thing he trusts would be damn rogues leading us the way. Our pack is no stranger to rogue attacks, and for his account, he lost both his parents in one.We are currently moving in a large group with my warriors in my front, following Scarlet’s lead. She looks over her shoulder at me, when suddenly she skids to a stop.Because we are not connected to pack link, she has no choice but to communicate to us through gestures. She whines and proceeds to point her nuzzle to a wall.She’s shitting me, right?“What am I looking at?” I ask when I realize I have delivered the question directly to the mind-link.“She tricked us!” My beta snarls, and jus

    Chapter 121Dahlia’s POVHis eyes widen and he instantly grabs the handle of the knife, only for me to push it in harder. Blood spews from his mouth, letting me know I have a chance. Diana comes forward when he tries to get up, lending me her strength to pin him down while he’s currently caught off guard. He growls, his eyes locked onto me in surprise, confusion, and wrath, but I don’t let go. Instead, I grip the knife tighter, pushing as much as I could before I twist. Suddenly, his mouth opens and more blood trickles from his lips. Then he makes a gurgling sound, and I watch him, my heart racing in my chest as I stare into his wide eyes.One minute turned to two as I held the knife buried deep in his heart while he constantly fights. His breathing becomes weaker and weaker by the second, and his inability to utter a word, I figured, is what prevented him from casting any spell. Then, he surprises me when he grabs my neck, yanking me forward. I shriek, holding onto the knife as he

    Dahlia’s POV:I look at him watching me with lust and desire as he roams his eyes over my body. It heats and squirms underneath his gaze, yet I was certain it was none other than the bond making me feel such things. What else would make me look past whatever sick thoughts were going through his head, and everything he’d done up to present?Tatum leans forward, letting me know that somehow grabbed his attention. So I try to keep it by licking my lips seductively, placing my palms on the mattress before I begin crawling to him, stopping at the edge to spread my legs wide open.He growls, his eyes going to my center and I take this as a chance to put my arms around his neck as I pull him towards me. Thankfully, he obliges, but then he stands, shoving me back on the bed.Pushing my elbows against the mattress, I move my body further up the bed where the knife is. But Tatum doesn’t follow. He remains standing at the foot of the bed, staring at me with hooded eyes. My eyes move down to his

    Chapter 119Dahlia’s POVIt took me a few seconds to realize how many boxes were stacked in this one room. Sixteen. The only thing that gave me a little comfort was that I only recognized one of the scents. Thalia’s, which means recently, he’d only killed one of the women though I have yet to see proof of Scar’s. That woman is tough as gold. I’ve been holding on to small hope that maybe, she escaped. I also noticed how Tatum disclosed so little information about her, that strengthens my resolve to believe he is lying.As long as I have hope, I can hold out a little longer. I have to.It’s taking longer than expected for me to reject the effects of wolfsbane, leaving me still in a paralytic state though my mind is conscious. Tatum turned his back for a second, when I felt the mind-link open up.‘Dahlia!’ A deep voice boomed in my head, and there was no mistaking it.‘Hades,’ Relief would have flooded me right in this instant, if only Tatum haven’t somewhat sensed it as he strode towa

    Chapter 118Dahlia’s POV:I wake up groggily and groan, a loud ringing in my head as I try to gather my bearings. My head is pounding, and I try to lift my hand to massage my temple only to find it is useless; I can’t move, not just my hand, but my whole body seems paralyzed. Although I can feel my lips and tongue, meaning I can only speak but not move for the next couple of hours, or more.As I come to, I hear my wolf groaning subtly in the back of my mind. That’s when I remembered, Tatum. I stepped outside my room for a while to check on the shouting when I bumped on him out of nowhere. Then, he pulled out a syringe and injected me with wolfsbane.Wolfsbane! I gasp to myself.Relief floods me to know that the wolfsbane hasn’t gotten to Diana, at least not yet. Wolfsbane, when injected directly to werewolves, could damage us in unimaginable ways, damage our wolf. “You’re awake,” a loud voice rips me out of my thoughts as I try to look in the direction it came from. My blood runs co

    Hades' POV:The moment I heard the commotion, felt the shift in the air, I knew something was wrong. My heart thunders in my chest, a nagging instinct I can’t ignore.The warriors are scrambling, trying to form ranks, but I’m beyond reasoning, beyond commands. My blood burns with the need to protect her. The faint rustle of movement catches my ear, and I turn just in time to see one of my warriors running toward me, breathless. His eyes are wide, panic creeping into his voice.“Alpha, there’s been a breach,” he says, his voice shaking. “It’s Tatum. He’s taken her.”A jolt of ice shoots down my spine. The world around me slows, as if time is stretching, elongating, mocking me.Tatum.I don’t know how he managed it, how he could have gotten this far without my knowledge. We were prepared for attacks, for skirmishes, but this... this is different. This feels personal. He’s always been a threat, but now, it’s a war I didn’t anticipate.I don’t think. I just move.The ground beneath my fee

    Dahlia’s POVThe room is quiet, save for the soft hum of the heater and the distant murmur of the pack house settling for the night. Hades hasn’t left my side since the confrontation at the border, his presence grounding and reassuring. Still, the weight of Tatum’s rage lingers in the air, heavy and suffocating.Hades stands by the window, his silhouette framed by the silver moonlight. He’s tense, his shoulders stiff and his arms crossed over his chest. I can feel his emotions like a pulse in the air.“Stop blaming yourself,” I say softly, my voice breaking the silence.He turns, his dark eyes meeting mine. For a moment, he doesn’t say anything, and I see the war waging within him. Then he exhales, a sound heavy with frustration.“I should have never let you go with him,” he says, his voice low but sharp. “Tatum shouldn’t even have the chance to get near you.”I push myself up from the bed, my limbs still weak but my resolve strong. “He doesn’t have me, Hades. I’m here with you.”His

    Chapter 115Tatum’s POVHades' smugness sends rage spiraling through me. I stand at the border of his precious pack, my fists clenched so tightly I can feel my claws biting into my palms. He thinks he’s won. He thinks he’s the better Alpha.But he doesn’t know what I’ve been through. What Dahlia and I have been through.She’s my mate. My wolf howls in agreement, pacing relentlessly in the cage I’ve forced him into. He wants to tear through Hades’ chest, rip him apart limb by limb for daring to claim what isn’t his.“She’s not his,” I growl, my voice low but laced with venom.Behind me, my warriors shuffle uneasily, their loyalty unwavering but their nerves visible. They know the risk of challenging Hades on his own land, but they also know I won’t back down.“What’s the plan?” asks my wolf, my other half. He’s infiltrated my mind with filthy thoughts these days, and no matter how much I want to shut him up, the thing is forever connected to me. The same way Dahlia is connected with me
