Lavina – POVMy unexpected mate bond with Archer has left me utterly stunned. The idea that a Dragon and a Wolf could be mates was beyond my wildest dreams. Seeing Archer's distressed expression as he hurried out of the room, surrounded by a dangerous aura, filled me with concern. "Archer, where are you going?" I called out, my voice laced with worry. He paused at the door, turning to meet my eyes with a serious look."Lavina, there's something urgent I need to handle. We'll discuss this later," Archer explained before leaving. Alice immediately came to my side, offering her support as I felt my strength wane."What's happening?" I inquired, seeking answers from Alice."You need to rest now," she gently insisted, guiding me back to bed. James and Leo watched over me with concerned eyes."But I need to understand what's going on," I pressed, attempting to sound firm despite the weakness in my voice. Alice met my gaze, hesitating before she spoke."You were caught in a Nightmare spell.
Lavina – POVSeated in the grandeur of the Dragon Palace, I waited anxiously for Ella and Darcus, accompanied by Alice, James, and Leo. Archer's absence weighed heavily on my mind, especially after he didn't respond to James's call. Was he also struggling with the intensity of our mate bond despite having confessed his feelings? I tried to push thoughts of Archer aside, focusing on the matter at hand."I apologize for the delay," Ella said as she entered, her expression weary. Darcus followed, looking equally drained. The scandal involving Keenan and his family had taken its toll on them, especially given Keenan's lineage from the aristocratic echelons of Dragon society. The implications of a high-ranking Dragon collaborating with enemies were deeply troubling."It's okay," I reassured them, understanding their pressure."I regret not being able to check on you sooner. How are you feeling?" Darcus inquired, his concern genuine."I'm fine now," I replied, just as a sudden whirlwind ann
Lavina–POVArcher was immersed in the search for Eden, with Leo assisting the search team. James and Alice remained close by, comforting me as my dragon, Ryu, grew weaker by the day. Dr. Yasmin did her utmost to ensure Ryu's recovery, so I might regain my strength and stand ready against any threat. It seemed as if my ability to withstand magic was fading."Have some tea," Alice offered, settling beside me and gazing into the distance."What's on your mind?" I inquired."The mystery surrounding you... I can't help but wonder who could be behind this," Alice murmured."You never stop thinking," I commented, sipping the warm tea. "You should rest.""Why aren't you curious?" Alice raised an eyebrow, attempting to decipher my thoughts."I'm exhausted," I confessed. Alice's understanding gaze acknowledged the turmoil of uncovering one secret after another. Ella and Darcus had raised several questions about my marriage to Keenan, dredging up memories I preferred to leave unvisited. "I need
Archer – POVI anxiously awaited my troops' return, eager for updates on Eden. Unfortunately, I could not establish contact with the team and Leo. This lack of communication troubled me deeply, especially since their last known location was Merut—a notorious spot in the Mythical realm, known for its KCA hideouts, according to Ethan's intel."What's happening now?" I tried to keep my frustration in check, but my tone betrayed me. As I paced, lost in my thoughts, Alice's call snapped me back to reality. "Archer, my theory was correct," she announced."Did Nancy's mom finally confess?" I inquired, hope flickering in my voice."Yes, she did. A Dragon officer arrested her for aiding her daughter's misdeeds. And there's more—she implicated Dr. Yasmin in the scheme," Alice revealed, her words hitting me like bricks.I froze. "How is Dr. Yasmin involved?" My concern escalated rapidly. "She's been monitoring Lavina's health," Alice explained. The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on me,
Lavina–POV“What are you doing with them, Leo?” My eyes couldn’t process that Leo was also involved with KCA.“Lavina, you don’t need to ask me such a silly question. Just believe it,” Leo remarked. James attacked, but Leo thwarted him, directing James to stay still or he would kill his little girl, Zendaya.“Stay where you are, James, or I will kill your little princess,” Leo warned.“Why are you doing this, Leo?” I asked. “You have your unborn child, and yet you're willing to take the life of a young girl.” Leo sighed at me, his expression one of indifference, his eyes dilated as if under a spell.“Fool,” Eden smiled. “You're not pregnant with Leo’s child.” My eyes snapped to Eden. “I asked Doctor Yasmin to fool you; it’s Archer’s child. I wish I could kill you, but Jacob wants you alive.” Leo didn't react at all.“Have you cast a spell on Leo?” I asked. Eden glared at me, then walked over, yanking me by my hair. I didn’t fight back and followed her for the safety of others, with th
Lavina – POV"Archer, wake up!" I screamed, pain lacing my voice as Leo responded well to my healing magic, regaining his consciousness. But Archer was not responding to my power. "Leo, please wake up," I cried, and Leo slowly opened his eyes, his injuries partially healed by the shifter's power. He looked at me with concern, then at Archer."Oh, shit, Archer!" With a weak body, Leo walked to Archer, lifting him from the ground. With shaky hands and a soft body, I opened a vortex and managed to land in the wolf realm. "Call the doctors now," Leo ordered. Archer's mom and dad arrived at the scene. Just before my legs gave out, Archer's mom steadied me.Leo took Archer to the infirmary, with his dad following behind and Archer's mom helping me to follow. When we reached the hospital, doctors took care of me, bringing my energy back, and attended to Archer's healing. I stood up as Alice, James, Ella, and Darcus came to check on us. James was about to have Leo arrested, but I explained th
Lavina–POVTwo weeks later, I've been diligently monitoring my health, eager to aid in Archer's recovery. Yet, the doctor forbade any use of magic on him. "I need to see Archer," I insisted, frustration mounting as the doctor barred my approach."Why won't you let me see him?" I demanded, rising from the bed. My agitation mirrored that of my dragon, both of us yearning to be near Archer, yet thwarted by the doctor's steadfast interference."Please, Ms. Lavina, understand. We cannot allow you near Archer. Approaching him would nullify your powers, and the child we've managed to safeguard could be jeopardized," the doctor finally explained, offering a reason that stilled my protests. Rather than arguing further, I turned away, tears brimming as I grappled with my desperation to see Archer. His flirtatious smiles, the warmth of his confessions in his apartment, where he admitted his care for me, all flooded back. I'd sensed a change in Archer, a shift from playful affection to something
Lavina–POVArcher was released from the infirmary after three days; the doctor declared him healthy. I've been staying in the Wolf Realm; fortunately, my grandpa was saved, too. Eden's magic blast destroyed my apartment, but luckily, everyone managed to escape alive. Alice thanked me for the mind link that informed them about it. I typed on my laptop to finish the pending work, and this room resembled a bachelor pad. Archer always wanted me by his side, and genuinely, I wanted to spend time with him as well."Lavi," I turned to see Archer, who had just walked out of the shower. Damn, he was trying to seduce me. Water cascaded down his chiseled abs, and I gulped, my mouth drying. Archer smirked at me, fully aware of his effect on me. Archer approached me and placed a finger under my chin, his thumb tracing my lower lip, his gaze intense upon mine."Tempting," he whispered."What is?" I asked."You," he said huskily."Are you sure I'm the only one who's tempting?" I asked as Archer's ey
Lavina –POVSix Month LaterDressed in a pink gown and wearing my best jewelry, I checked my makeup and hair one last time. Archer's mom entered, looking stunning in a beautiful light green gown, while Gunther, in his little tux, cooed and clapped his hands with a smile upon seeing me. "Gunther, you look so handsome," I said, lifting him into my arms and kissing his cheeks."Ready for Leo's wedding?" Archer asked, pausing to take in my appearance from head to toe. "Wow, Lavina, you look radiant," he whispered. At that moment, Archer's mom coughed, reminding us of her presence."Mom, you look beautiful too," Archer quickly added. She offered a smile in return."There's no need for fake compliments, Archer. I'm just happy to see you two lovebirds so happy," Archer's mom said, her voice filled with warmth. "I'll take Gunther to the party. Lavina, could you check on Leena? She was calling for you." I nodded in agreement.As Archer's mom left with Gunther, Archer moved closer to me, his ga
Lavina – POVLeo was anxious. "Ms. Leena isn't getting better with our treatments. If she doesn't recover, it's going to be bad for her health," the doctor explained."Why isn't she improving?" Leo asked, clearly upset. "You're supposed to be good at healing." In his frustration, Leo grabbed the doctor by the collar."Leo, give me a chance to heal her," I said, stepping forward. Leo looked at me with a mixture of anger and hope, then released the doctor.I approached Leena, noticing her injuries and the paleness of her skin. "Ryu, I need your strength," I whispered, connecting with my dragon. As Ryu shared his energy with me, my hands began to glow with a powerful light.Leena's wolf form was weak, but because of my unique bond with an archer, I was able to share my strength with her. This bond is special because it allows me to heal and understand wolves, something I could usually only do with dragons. With my hands glowing and filled with Ryu's power, I focused on transferring energ
Lavina – POVArcher and I couldn't go on a honeymoon because we had to deal with Natalie, who was causing trouble. We hurried back to the Wolf realm and pretended that we were still preparing for the wedding. We even hid our mate marks to make it seem like we weren't married yet, and I didn't tell anyone that I was already the queen of wolves."I never imagined Natalie would come up with such plans," Archer's mom said, joining me after she had looked over the wedding venue. "To everyone, she seemed like a sweet girl, always acting as if she wouldn't hurt a fly. But she was good at pretending."Feeling a bit awkward, I asked, "I'm sorry to bring this up, but why did Brandon become so evil?" The question made Archer's mom look sad."Brandon always wanted to be the best; he couldn't stand coming in second. He was very competitive. Archer, on the other hand, wanted freedom. He never had any interest in being the Alpha. He dreamed of traveling the world, exploring new places, and had no de
Lavina–POVA week laterJust finished putting Gunther to sleep and tucked him in with a blanket. Archer came up beside me, and we both admired our son sleeping peacefully. Sharing a content smile, we left the room together. I felt a wave of relief—it's quite a task to get a little one to bed.Back in our room, Archer suggested, "Lavi, put your feet on my lap.""Why?" I asked, laying down while Archer took my feet into his lap, starting to massage my sore legs gently. I couldn't help but moan, feeling the tension release."I love hearing you moan," Archer teased with a chuckle, adding a flirtatious hint. "Especially when I'm close to you."Something seemed off, so I asked, "Archer, what's on your mind?" I withdrew my feet from his lap, meeting his eyes directly."Leo and I have beefed up security," he shared, concern evident in his voice."Are you worried about an attack?" I probed. He nodded. Sitting up, I pondered how to alleviate his fears."Let's use our new abilities to scout for
Leo- POVIt's been three months since Leena and I started our smooth-sailing relationship. During this time, I successfully dismantled a gang that was deceiving she-wolves under the guise of a dating site. These criminals would lure the she-wolves, drug their food, and then use them as blood banks for vampires or as playthings. Together with Archer, we tracked down this nefarious group and eliminated everyone involved, ensuring they could no longer harm anyone.I was eagerly awaiting Leena's arrival at my house; she had expressed her desire to move in with me, following the traditional practice of she-wolves living with their mates once they found each other. I had taken great care to prepare her room according to her preferences, as I wanted her to feel comfortable and at home, not just a guest sharing my space. Before her arrival, movers and packers had already delivered and arranged Leena's belongings in her new room.When there was a knock at the door, I quickly opened it, greeted
Lavina–POVThree months laterArcher presented me with my favourite lasagna, catering to my late-night cravings. He had just come from the kitchen, ready to serve me this delicious meal."You can cook?" I asked, surprised."I've been taking cooking classes with my mom. I wanted to make delicious food for you and take care of you," Archer replied, smiling. I gazed at him with affection, feeling fortunate. Archer had always been there for me, addressing my whims, insecurities, and pain from my past relationship with Keenan, which still troubled me.After we finished eating, Archer placed his hand on my belly, and the baby kicked in response to his voice. "Daddy can't wait to meet you," he said.Archer's mom, waking up early at dawn, inquired, "How are the wedding preparations coming along?""I'm working on it with Alice and Ella's help," I replied. "Juggling work too, it's quite hectic."Archer chimed in, "I suggested letting the new secretary handle your work.""She's still learning ho
Leo–POVI saw photos of Archer proposing to Lavina and felt happy seeing them together because they both deserve joy and are perfect for each other. I waited for Leena to get ready, making sure the team had set up the date in Leena's spacious backyard. I found out Leena's parents weren't home from their servant, who informed me. They wanted to give Leena and me some privacy. I was glad that Leena's parents liked me and didn't object to me dating Leena before we considered taking our relationship to the next level.A voice interrupted my thoughts. "Nervous?" I looked up to see Leena wearing a beautiful, elegant dress, looking stunning."Are you nervous?" I echoed her question."Yes," she whispered."Me too," I admitted honestly, and she smiled beautifully at my confession. I pulled out a chair for her, and she sat down at the beautifully set table, illuminated and adorned with white shimmering cloth, creating an elegant atmosphere arranged by the team."It's a beautiful setup you've do
Lavina–POVThe baby is healthy, and we have a new doctor who is taking care of both my health and Alice's. Ella, who was watching over us, felt worried. It was after we learned that Dr. Yasmin, our previous doctor, was involved with the KCA. However, I reassured her by saying, "Ella, don't worry. The KCA isn't a concern anymore."Ella insisted, "It's better to be safe and take precautions."The doctor confirmed, "Both of you and the baby are healthy." He then advised us to continue taking our medicine and monitoring our vitals to maintain our health. After receiving a positive update from the doctor, we left the clinic.Once we were outside, Alice remarked, "It's been so long since the three of us had a girls' night out.""You know how protective our partners can be. They hardly let us go anywhere without them." Alice said. I recalled a recent incident where my Archer wanted to accompany me everywhere, even after I insisted he didn't have to. "He kept pestering me all night," I shared
Leo – POVStanding at the given address, my heart raced as the familiar scent of lilies surrounded me. The door opened to reveal a middle-aged woman. "I'm Leo Taylor," I introduced myself. "I'm here for Leena.""What business do you have with my daughter?" she asked cautiously."She's my mate," I explained. She looked surprised but stepped aside to let me into my relief."Leena is resting in her room," her mother informed me. "I can't wake her; she needs her rest."While talking, a man approached and asked, "Who was at the door, Mina?" He fell silent as Leena's mother explained who I was and introduced me to her husband."Why didn't you let Leena stay in the infirmary?" I couldn't help but ask, curious about their decision. Her parents exchanged a look, suggesting there was more to the story."After we found out Leena had been found, we requested the doctors to allow us to bring her home for treatment. We wanted our daughter to be with us, at home, not far away. We've been without her
