Davina Pov.Every morning I wake up I can't help the chills and nervousness that flutters through my stomach. I was in a state of constant trepidation, I was barely aware of anything happening around me anymore.Not to talk of mh longing to see Klaus. Everything about him pulled me into the trance he created my kissing me, touching me in ways no man has.Somone knocked at the door.“I'm coming.” I answered, getting on my feet. While I was busy adjusting my eyes to the darkness, Lucas flung the door open angrily. His nose flared as he flicked the light on.“What the hell is wrong with you?!” He growled. His slid the tray of food to my feet, as he shut the door.I was stunned, lost for words. I shivered at his huge and bulk figure.“I'm sorry, I couldn't see.” “Hell yeah! You couldn't see or you just love taking what's not yours!” He yelled angrily.I frowned at his accusations. “I don't know what I have done to get on your nerves this morning, but I really was trying to get the door a
CHAPTER 13 - DAVINA POV.I stood in my dimly lit room, my heart racing as I faced the last person I wanted to see - Vincent. I knew my father's connection with the werewolves. I was raised behind the high walls of my father's mansion and wasn't even allowed to have any contact with the supernatural beings.Vincent was my boyfriend for three years and he never mentioned anything about werewolves or being in the know of them. Vincent wasn't a wolf, so what was he doing here?This was Klaus' inner chamber, for him to get here... I dragged my gaze up to his face.He smirked, his eyes gleaming sinisterly. "I'm here to see you, Davina."I frowned, incredulous. "How did you even get in here?""I told you I would always find my way to you." He joked.Before I could process my thoughts, I slapped him, anger boiling over. "I don't care how you got here, I don't want to see you. You broke me and went on with your life. Leave!"My chest heaved as I glared hard at him, my fists clenched. I was ov
CHAPTER 14 - KLAUS POV.EARLIER THAT DAY.“Is that why you came back?” I stopped Vincent as he wanted to escape me, I tucked my hands in my pocket with my jaw set.“Answer me!” I bellowed when he kept quiet.He chucked darkly, turning to me with a smirk. “If I say yes what can you do? After all, the council is forcing to break your mate bond with her.”I sped to where he stood in a zap of anger, my hands clutching his fucking throat tightly as my claws slowly elongated painfully into his skin.I leaned in, my body boiling with anger. “Davina is off limits, if I want to give her up because of my responsibility as the Alpha I would, but I would make sure she has nothing to do with you.”I pulled away from him, storming off as his coughs rang through the hallway. I would have fucking killed him!“What the hell Klaus, get a grip on yourself!” I chided myself as I fisted the mirror in my restroom.My sharp green eyes stared right back at me in different fragmented broken pieces.‘You can't
CHAPTER 15 - DAVINAShe needed no one to tell her to remain put in her room, or rather - prison. She hadn't seen Klaus in the past few days and she was itching to.His scent overwhelmed her entire being, the feeling of electricity rushing down her spine as he held her in his arms. Those were feelings she wanted to experience.What she felt was far from that. She felt like a useless damsel in distress waiting for her knight in shining armor. It was all dreams and farce, because Klaus was far from being a knight in shining armor.He was dangerous, with malicious intent. He probably hated her father for killing his parents. But why then would he keep the killer of his parents close to him?Her mind was dangerously going down a part she didn't want it to, so she managed to summon up courage. Why in the world would she be dying for answers when the person who would provide them was just a few offices or blocks away.Davina stormed to Klaus' office which was the last floor of his area in the
CHAPTER 16Leaving Davina’s room the day before made his heart feel very empty, he couldn't believe that he could actually be this weak.No! There has to be another way.Klaus' mind spun. This is what he'd wanted. Now no one could tell him to give Davina up. Warner has gathered them again to discuss on Klaus choice on giving up his mate.Warner leaned forward. "You might have noticed that when, at the end of their lives, a werewolf's mate dies before them, the wolf soon follows. It's a mercy, apparently. Something built into us. But when we lose our mates young and our bodies aren't ready to stop, it's our minds that go.""Klaus wouldn't go mad," Nathaniel said. "He's the strongest among us.""Yes," Klaus said. "But what you need to ask yourself is what happens to the pack if their Alpha loses his mind?""Chaos," Warner whispered. "Your willingness to sacrifice your mate is honorable, but you can't do it. You can't let her go or it will be much, much worse for all of us."Klaus' eyes
CHAPTER 17 - AUTHOR POV.Davina's fingers trailed lightly over the map sprawled out on the table, her brow furrowed in concentration. "So the Humans Firsters have been spotted here, and here," she said, tapping two locations on the map. "And you said there were more of them than expected?"Klaus nodded grimly. "Nathaniel reported that the numbers were greater than we anticipated. They're clearly gearing up for a full-scale assault."Cael let out a low growl. "Those bastards. They have no idea what they're up against."Nathaniel, who was standing beside Cael, placed a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Easy. Getting worked up won't help us now. We need to focus on strategy."Klaus appreciated Nathaniel's level-headed approach. As much as he wanted to tear the Humans Firsters apart with his bare hands, he knew that keeping a cool head would be crucial in the battles to come."Nathaniel's right," Klaus said, his gaze sweeping across the faces of his most trusted advisors. "We need to be tact
As Davina sat in her room, poring over the maps and books she had collected from the library, her mind raced with the possibilities of escape. She knew she had to act fast if she wanted to leave the castle before the General and his followers discovered her absence. The stakes were high, and she couldn't afford to make any mistakes.She studied the maps intently, committing the layout of the castle to memory. Every corridor, every room, every possible exit was etched into her mind, a mental blueprint for her escape. But as she plotted her route, doubts crept in. Would she be able to navigate the maze-like halls without getting caught? Could she really outsmart the werewolves who guarded the castle?A knock at the door interrupted her thoughts, causing her heart to skip a beat. It was Lucas, her ever-watchful guard, his expression neutral as he entered the room. Davina forced a smile, feigning interest in the books she had borrowed. "Lucas, do you mind if I ask you a question about wer
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
