Felixe’s POV

The loud pealing of the doorbell woke me up, and I jumped out of bed, realizing where I was. In a flash, I was at the main door to let Stella in.

“She has a fever. Look after her well in my absence. I’m not sure when I’ll be back. There’s money at my bedside table. I’ll transfer more if I’m held up for long. I’ve arranged for tight security around the house. Ensure that Hermione doesn’t escape. Update me regularly.”

She nodded meekly, and I strode to my washroom to freshen up. I was eager to leave before Hermione woke up.

I was ready in five minutes and looked at Hermione’s sleeping form. Why didn’t I want to leave her and go? She stirred, and I came to my senses, rushing out of the room just in time.

I could hear her wake up as I walked out of the house with my essentials. My heart wanted to stay, to take care of her, but this was an emergency I had to tend to. I knew she was thinking about me since I left her on my bed and escaped like a criminal. What could I do? I

    Hera’s POV Feeling much better after lunch, I sat in the living room, watching Stella work around the house. I didn’t know where Felixe was, but waking up in his bedroom almost gave me a heart attack. I still couldn’t understand his motive behind it. But who could I ask for an explanation? Felixe had vanished, and Stella was totally clueless. All she knew was that Felixe had left in his helicopter for an indefinite period. He left plenty of cash for Stella to run the house in his absence. “Why don’t you rest awhile? It will energize you.” I was tired of resting. In fact, I had never slept so much as I did last night. Felixe’s scent was everywhere, all around me: in his room, on his bed, and even in the air. It felt as if I was wrapped up in his arms all night! “No, I can’t sleep anymore. I’ll go for a walk!” Stella looked alarmed at my announcement. “I can’t allow that Hera. Mr. Andreadis will be furious when he hears about it.” I was now determined to go for a walk. How would he

    Hera’s POVMy heartbeats, my senses, pulsed in unison as my eyes locked with his. His eyes were too dark, while his breath was hot as fire, burning me through. From so close, I could get his scent and feel the pounding of his heart! The wish to trace my finger along his stubble to his lips drove me wild. Despite his feral aura, his lips looked so kissable that I couldn’t stop the yearning in my heart. The yearning turned into a deep pulsing, making my focus on him so heightened that everything dulled in comparison. His pupils dilated as if sensing it.He leaned a little more towards me and my breath hitched in anticipation. Would he kiss me? His nostrils flared as he grazed his nose against my neck, inhaling my scent. The touch of his nose caused a tremor to go down my body. All I wanted to do at that point was to tangle my fingers in his hair and give him a searing kiss! Maybe that would make him acknowledge me as his mate and set me free! But my heart knew that would never happen.

    Felixe’s POV Ever since I returned from Yellowknife, I’ve been going through shit. My emotions have magnified, and my desires intensified beyond imagination. I don’t know what’s happening to me anymore. Every fiber of my being is fighting to be with her. It’s taking a toll on me to stay away from her, to not claim her, to mark her as I want to. Therefore, I’m facing the worst case of blue balls and I know there is only one cure for it. But that cure wasn’t meant for me.I was incensed at my behavior last night. How could I tie her up when she was just out for some fresh air? This wasn’t the epitome of a shifter relationship. I was obviously the worst shifter wolf, one who didn’t deserve such an innocent mate! I didn’t let her defend herself, nor allowed her to eat. All night, she suffered from cold and hunger for no fault of hers. If Stella hadn’t scolded me for the first time, I wouldn’t ever have realized the truth! There was no one around who could fight my decisions. They all co

    Felixe’s POV I sat in the living room with my laptop, but my concentration was on Hera. I knew that’s what she loved being called! Before abducting her, I had done my research on her.She was shocked the first time I called her that, but she blushed in response. That was my cue to continue calling her by that sweet name!It sounded like music to my ears!Hera! Hera!I could chant it all day! ‘You’re crazy, Felixe!’ chuckled Freyr. I didn’t deny it. It was true. I’ve gone crazy since the day I abducted Hera! I have forgotten my motive, my enemy, and even my resolve! Instead of torturing her, I’m the one who’s feeling tortured. I can’t claim her, nor punish her! It was the strangest dilemma of my life. While I was going through hell, she was humming a sweet tune and cooking fried bass for me! I didn’t know whether to feel happy or frustrated about it! Maybe I was both! I watched her like a hawk while she peered at me occasionally. She knew the effect she was having upon me and seeme

    Hera’s POV I knew Felixe was busy packing up. Maybe it was time to leave this paradise! My heart felt heavy, and I considered taking a stroll outside, maybe for the last time. I knew he was watching me. Since the encounter at the bay, I noticed a change in his attitude towards me. I could see the intense desire in his eyes, the tremendous amount of energy it was taking him to restrain himself. Would he break? I wanted him to break! What if he released me before I could experience the magic of the mate bond between us? Even if he didn’t acknowledge me as his mate, I could feel the acute sex*al tension between us. Any other wolf would have caved in and produced pups by now, but Felixe Andreadis wasn’t any ordinary wolf. He was a mystery I couldn’t figure out. The grassy lawn felt so good under my feet. I didn’t want to go somewhere else. Why were we leaving? Did Zeph find me? It had been over a week, yet none of the boys could find me. Didn’t they know I was missing? Maybe Zeph was t

    Felixe’s POVI stilled, feeling her touch burn my skin even through the fleece jacket I wore. A shot of electric current shot up my body. How could that be possible? I turned slowly to face her, roughly extracting my arm from her grasp. It was getting difficult to restrain myself from slamming my mouth to hers if she touched me. Didn’t she realize it yet? “I’m not answerable to you. If you escape, you know the consequences. Go to your room, Hera!” I knew she couldn’t escape even if she wanted to. The door was locked, and I had the keys. Not wanting to cave in, I whirled around abruptly and I walked away to my room. I didn’t want to tell her about my ordeals. My step-mother was still alive and keeping tabs on me. I sensed her presence in the house before finding Hera talking to her. What disturbed me was she knew about Hera. I just hoped she wouldn’t harm my relationship with my mate. I didn’t need her interference in my life anymore. After the fire, I had felt relieved to know she w

    Hera’s POV I couldn’t help but stare at him, my mind reeling from his admission. Did he just accept me as his mate? There was an intensity in his eyes that I could not decipher. It made me feel exposed as if he could see through me. I didn’t want him to read me. His confession confused me. Why did his actions prove the opposite? If he considered me his mate, why didn’t he react to me? Why didn’t he kiss me? Why didn’t he mark me? Would I have to wait all my life for my mate’s loving touch? I felt disappointed in the Moon Goddess. All my life I had looked up to her, and prayed to her for a loving mate. I never imagined I would be tied to someone who would always hate me. I wanted to protest.“No, I’m just your enemy. I’m not your mate. You brought me here to punish me, to kill me. I know you hate me. Let me go, Felixe,” I screamed, feeling unwanted and unhappy. I tried hard to wrench myself free, but he just grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me towards him. Before I could real

My better half! Now that I found my better half, I didn’t want to let go. A fierce need to protect her from my stepmother’s clutches started gnawing at me. I had to keep them at bay! I could feel her retreating and gripped her tightly, not willing to let her go. The kiss we had shared earlier had me shaken up to the core. I tried staying away from her, yet it didn’t work. Dan’s call to warn me of my stepmother’s presence in Yellowknife had me worried. I went to meet Dan and find out more about her.

    Hera’s POV I closed my eyes and lay down in my bedroom, listening to everyone enjoying the outside. My birthday celebrations have been the most enjoyable ones so far. Felixe had made arrangements to celebrate Zephyrus’s birthday too, in the same grand style as mine. His cake differed from mine and so were his treats. In fact, he received more gifts than I did! After the cake cutting, I could hardly stand straight. The pain in my pelvic region spread all over my lower abdomen and they carried me to my bedroom. I tried hard to sleep, but the pain started getting worse. Felixe had gone out to get a doctor since mine wasn’t taking his call. “Try deep breathing, Hera! Felixe will bring the doctor over soon. I think you’ll deliver tonight,” said Ebony, stroking my hair off my face. Even Hazel sat with me, trying to relieve the pain with the compress. This time nothing was working! I felt like I was dying! “I’m scared, Ebony. Please, I don’t want to die!” Tears pricked at my eyes and st

    Hera’s POV The next two days we all spent together, bonding and enjoying ourselves. Being with everyone made me forget my fear of delivery. Despite the chaos all around, it was Felixe who was always there to support me, to help me. He took a couple of days off from work to bond with all of us. I was indeed indebted to him. Finally, it was my birthday, and the wishes and gifts kept pouring in right from the morning. Lyra might have spoken to Felixe about her predicament since she accompanied him to the office last morning. I could feel Leandros going into a shell day by day. It was obvious he needed help, but it was his own battle. He had to seek help from Zeph or Felixe. I couldn’t interfere in his matters. “Hera, come on, let’s go for a stroll!” said Hazel, walking into my room. With the celebration scheduled in the evening, I was trying to save some energy for the event. “No, Hazel. I’m feeling a little pain in my pelvic area every time I walk. Maybe I should rest a little now

    Hera’s POV Tears of happiness pooled in my eyes, and I looked around for my family. I had no idea Felixe had done so much for me while I was unnecessarily doubting him. The guests whom I heard upstairs were none other than my family. While I was sleeping, oblivious to their presence, my mate had arranged for my happiness. “Keep all negative thoughts out of your mind now, Hera. You shouldn’t stress so much about your delivery. It will have a harmful effect on your babies. You don’t want them to feel your stress, right? They’ll be stressed too.” I looked at Ebony and nodded. Yes, she was right. I had been worrying too much lately. I didn’t want it to have an adverse effect on my pups. “We’ve booked the most advanced multispecialty hospital for you, Hera. I’m sure if there’s any complication, the doctor can sort it out. There’s no need to worry so much. Felixe will be with you in the birthing room while we all will be there outside for you,” said Derrick. I wiped my tears and smiled

    Hera’s POV As the days went by, my mobility became more and more hindered. If it weren’t for the therapy classes, I would have been bedridden. This wasn’t fun at all. Felixe, Ebony, and Stella took care of me every step of the way. My birthday was two days later, but I had no enthusiasm left in my body to look forward to it. I would just call my twin and wish him. It was strange that he hadn’t called me once in the last one month. What was he so busy with? After my delivery, I would definitely fight with him if I were alive. “Hera, what’s wrong? Felixe wanted you ready in the evening.” I gaped at Stella, having completely forgotten about it. He had asked me on a date before leaving for work. I had been so preoccupied with my condition, I completely forgot about it. “I can’t go out, Stella.” She smiled, sorting through my closet for the perfect dress. None of them were perfect. I hated my body now. The wish to dress up for my mate had gone forever. What was the use? I could never l

Give me a hug now!” We hugged one another when Ebony came out. I hadn’t been introduced to her formally yet we knew one another. The few brief encounters we had before were enough. She smiled at me warmly. “Welcome home, Hera, Felixe! Finally, we’ll live together like a family.” “Thank you for joining us here on such short notice, Ebony!” I said, a little awkwardly. It was the first time I was interacting with her positively. “Don’t thank me at all. I’m happy to be here with you. There’s so much to do, I’m excited. Did you book your delivery at the hospital here?” I glanced at my clueless mate. “Oh! I’ll do it right away,” he said, and Ebony ushered me inside. “We can go tomorrow to the hospital nearby, Felixe.” He smiled at his stepmother, looking relieved. “We’ve got the nursery

I longed to go home, but the doctor wanted to perform a few tests before he permitted me. So we waited patiently for the reports before announcing it to the family. “The house is now ready for us to move in. Do you want to see the pictures?” asked Felixe as he joined me on the terrace outside. The sun was about to set and we gazed at the spectacular view all around us. “Yes, please.” He showed me our home, making me gasp with longing. All I wanted was to go to our new home with him. I wanted my pups born there. “I can imagine us living there already! When will the reports arrive?” I was impatient to leave while Felixe seemed to be in no hurry. Although he had a business to look after, he showed no impatience for me. He managed everything expertly online. “Tomorrow morning, I’ll collect them and consult the doc

    Felixe’s POV Hera’s kiss was the elixir I needed to get through the day. She kissed me so passionately that I could feel her selfless love reflected in her warm kiss. It made my heart swell with happiness. For the first time, I felt happy to be alive on my birthday. It was surprising indeed. For thirty-two years of my life, I had been considering myself the most unwanted and worthless wolf alive. I hated my birthday. I hid from the world every year on this day. It wasn’t a hard task since no one cared about me or wished me. However, this time, I battled with my inner self. Although I was used to disappearing, this time I couldn’t. The entire day I spent with her family, watching her closely. She looked so happy and I knew it was because of me. The way her eyes searched for me in everything she did made me stay around her. I didn’t feel unwanted anymore. I didn’t feel worthless at all. At least, someone in the world considered me her world. She would perish without me. It made me g

I really missed him too much.The moment he closed the door, my heartbeats sped up in anticipation. He slowly turned around to face me and my breath hitched at seeing the fire in his eyes. I knew he was burning for me just as I was. Slowly, he approached me while I stood rooted to the spot, ready to surrender to him. He stopped inches from me, his gaze roaming over my features tenderly. “Let’s make memories, Hera! I want to resume where we left off. Will it hurt too much if we make love?” His fingers caressed my cheek, trailing down to my bottom lip. I nodded, closing my eyes at his touch. “I want you to make love to me, Felixe.” When I looked up to meet his eyes, I noticed the satisfaction reflected there. He looked blissfully happy! “I’ll be gentle!” Of course, I knew that. I trusted him even with my eyes close

    Hera’s POV We strolled hand-in-hand on the terrace, enjoying each other’s company. I waited for him to answer my question. “You know it all, Hera! I’m not very articulate about my feelings, but I try to show you through my actions. When we met, I was a totally different wolf. I wanted to kill you that night, but your beauty, your innocence, and your sass drive me crazy. That night, I instantly knew you were my mate, and I was head over heels in love with you. I didn’t know it then because I never experienced love before. I lost my mother when I was quite young and my stepmother, Ebony, thought me too feral to live with them. She drove me away from home to a rehabilitation center for treatment. For years, I spent my life there, unwanted, unloved, and bitter. I met Derrick there, and he was all I had. As I grew, I became cold, and vengeful, until I lost my family in a fire. It was much later that I knew the truth. Ebony sent me away to protect me from the Flame Hounds.” I listened i
