What had started out as a seduction had become so much more. Davina could barely remember her goal of leaving; she could think of nothing but Klaus. Kissing him, holding him–she couldn’t remember the last time she’d felt so completely safe, so loved.And there was the problem, of course. How could she knowingly hurt a man like Klaus? He wasn’t some ruthless captor. She genuinely liked him. But when she left him, she’d hurt him deeply.She wanted to stay.But she couldn’t. Too many people would die. If she left, she had the chance of stopping this war before it got started.Klaus broke their kiss, changing it into a series of small nips and pecks. His hand gripped her hip and pinned her to the floor. “Now stop, little minx. I want to see you.” He reared up on his elbow and gazed at her, starting at her face and moving slowly down her body. It almost felt like he touched her as he went along, yet his hand stayed firm on her hip, holding her in place.Davina shivered.“Cold?”“No.” Her v
Klaus couldn’t wait to get to Davina, but his people threw one obstacle after another into his path. He’d hoped to eat dinner with her, but now dinner was long past. That wouldn’t stop him, though. As he strode toward her room, finally done with all the distractions, he called Ivy to have champagne and strawberries delivered and to have someone come and start a fire in Davina’s fireplace. He wanted everything to be perfect.He couldn’t guarantee they’d make love tonight. If she didn’t want to, then they wouldn’t. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t try to seduce her and at least pave the way for making her completely his in the near future. And maybe, if he played his cards right, he could make her his tonight.His stomach flip-flopped as he nodded at Heath and knocked on Davina’s door. Their relationship so far had been contentious. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. And even though he’d now accepted that he would never give her up, she knew nothing of his visit to the Elders or the ch
Aislinn lay beside Darius, fighting the urge to sleep. He hadn’t been kidding about staying up. But finally, his breathing evened into a regular rhythm telling her he’d fallen asleep.After everything they’d done that night, she felt guilty leaving him, as though she were betraying him. She didn’t know how bad he’d hurt if his mate left him but it must be bad. At the same time, she couldn’t stay. There were too many things stacked against them.She slowly sat up, disentangling herself from him. He lay on his side and had had his arms and one leg wrapped around her. As she shifted, he rolled onto his back, one arm flung wide while the other rested on his bare abs.How could she leave him? She didn’t know how this was supposed to work for humans who were werewolves’ mates. Was it normal for her to feel so attached to him? Was he right about the magic that bound him to her—did it also bind her to him? Because even though she knew she had to go, she couldn’t make herself leave the bed.Sh
Klaus floated in a haze of bliss. He had his mate in his arms, his mark on her shoulder, and everything was right with the world.Soon, he’d push himself to full consciousness and wake his little woman for another round. If she thought they were done for the night, she’d better think again. But for now, he’d content himself with a light nap while he gathered his strength.He’d drifted for a while, how long he didn’t know, when Davina stirred. She sat up and gazed at him. Not quite ready to start making love again, he rolled to his back and let her look her fill. He concentrated on keeping his breathing slow and steady, wondering what she’d do. Try to seduce him? If she looked much longer, his cock would rise to the occasion sooner than he’d planned.Then she got out of bed. He cracked his eyes to see her dressing. Where did she think she was going?Out, apparently. He feigned sleep while she opened the door and slipped into the hallway. The pain that stabbed through his heart nearly s
"Today is all about a test of different kinds of strength.Only the weak ones are too afraid and will aim to eliminate those they are scared of.The true strong ones do not care about how well their fellow competitors will do."Blair chuckled haughtily, looking the werewolf up and down."You can’t even walk straight anymore and your eyes and sunken.You probably have a kidney deficiency.I don’t think you even finish the run just now, right?"My eyes widened when I heard Blair speak.I did not expect him to go against the werewolf.His words seemed to hit the werewolf right at his greatest weakness.With a pale face and clenched fists, The werewolves near him pulled him back and stopped him."Hey, give it up! That’s not just any werewolf.He finished first just now, didn’t you see?""What? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"The werewolf muttered curses under his breath, panic flashing before his eyes.He withdrew himself awkwardly."Fine, I’ll let you off this time!" He then scampered away.Bl
klaus’ POV:I was a little far away from Davina, so I couldn’t see her expression.But I could imagine her current situation.Before I could do something to her rescue, she threw another punch at the test rock.And when the boulder shattered into pieces, both Richard and I stood up in shock."How… how can it be possible?"Richard exclaimed incredulously, He rubbed his eyes hard and then opened them."It’s really broken.Are you sure she is just a slave?"His voice trailed off.Obviously, what we had witnessed just now was beyond his expectation "We can’t possibly break that boulder, let alone Davina."I analyzed what happened calmly and turned to look at the platform."So the only possibility is that there is something wrong with it."I looked around and found that most of the people from the audience were surprised, except Alina.She looked flustered for a moment.The moment our eyes met, she quickly shifted her gaze.I couldn’t help but frown slightly.Something was wrong with her rea
"Harry! Are you insane? I told you to deal with Davina, not me!" Bianca shouted angrily.She couldn’t believe that Harry just kicked her off the stage.The whole thing happened so suddenly and fast that everyone was shocked."I’m not your lackey.I don’t have to do as you say."Harry looked down upon Bianca from the stage.Suddenly, I felt the urge to fix my eyes on him.Despite his unruly head of hair that made him look like a talking pineapple, I couldn’t help feeling a surge of respect and admiration for him.In my eyes, he glowed with bright, holy light like a true warrior.Bianca’s eyes widened in surprise and then narrowed in fury.When she was about to say something else, a judge asked her to leave."An eliminated student cannot stay in the venue.Leave or your comprehensive score will be zero."Overwhelmed with rage and humiliation, Bianca burst into tears on the spot.She started wailing as if she was a victim of unfair treatment.The judge who asked her to leave had to get the
MyDavina’s POV:Harry kept chattering all the way, and he seemed to want to do something right away to repay me.I tried my best to persuade him not to think about it anymore.Although Harry was tall and strong enough to defeat several werewolves with one punch, he was as naive and simple as a child.Whoever treated him well, he would give a hundredfold sincerity to that person.I could say that I was lucky to have a friend like him.After getting my room key from the dormitory administrator, I parted with Harry.While walking towards the girls’ dormitory, I kept recalling the whole thing in my mind.From Blair’s sudden appearance to the result of the placement and to what had happened to Harry just now, I vaguely felt that there was someone behind everything.And I was the only beneficiary of all these.But who would actually do this for me? The answer popped up when I saw Blair."Davina, have you gotten your room key?"It seemed that he was really waiting for me by the roadside.And a
