EvaThe eyes that flashed at us when the magnificent doors of the royal hall was opened made me almost want to run right back up.Memories of what people said back at home concerning my worthiness about being mated with Daniel plaguing my mind but the encouragement Brinda gave me was helping me fight it as hard as I could.Daniel held strongly to my hand encouraging me with nods and a smile and I was really grateful for it. Leading us up the little platform lined with purple roses, we stopped right before an old Woman In Front of a circle of white flowers.Her eyes seemed to sparkle with a blue hue as she started speaking in a language I find hard to understand. Like an ancestry tongue I can't seem to decipher.How the bond between us began to grow tight shocked and amazed me at the same time. Here I thought it would just be like the one back home where we just had to accept each other while the elder prayed for us but this seemed more spiritual and entangling.Like every word she spo
CHAPTER 95Eva"Hello, I'm Caren. And yes, people dispense when I step into the room. That's why my friends call me Queen Caren. So you see? You already have a competition." She winked, twirling her wine cup and I Chuckled. The Women behind her, on the either side, doing the same while shaking their heads."Well, hello, Caren. I guess you know who I am. And no, I do not see you as a competition." I responded with a smile pulling my hand for a shake but she rather moved in and pecked me on both cheeks."Queen Caren does not shake hands with the people she likes. She kisses them." I smiled at her bold gesture as my eyes searched hers, spotting the mark on her neck confirming she is mated so not one of Daniel's exs as I hate to say I thought from the start.The young Woman on the left rolled her eyes as she came forward. "Please don't mind her. She can be crazy sometimes.""Oh that's fine," I said to her." I'm Maria, anyway. Dario's Mate." She added."Oh," I said, glancing back at the o
Eva"Oh, I hope they are all good things?" Daniel said, stealing a mischievous glance at me and I feel my face heat up. Why is Granny doing this to me?"You have no idea how good," she snickered while I tried to cover my pure embarrassment. "Though I cannot say the same for the last part. But I'm happy everything is now falling into place. I'm sure the Moon Goddess made the right choice.""As she always does," Daniel hummed, taking snap amused glances at me.I can't believe Granny did this to me! Did he really have to know?"And I brought a special gift for you. But I will only give it to you if you promise me something." "What is it?" He said leaning closer. His arm resting on his thighs while he clasped his fingers together."You will not cause my granddaughter here any heartache again. You will promise to take good care of her no matter what happens. And you will protect her from any attacks she might face in the future.""With my life." Lies. Why is he lying? He knows he is on th
Eva"Can I help with something?" I asked one of the people packing up the decorations in the hall.I had decided to stretch my legs when I woke up this morning so I went for a walk around the Estate only to walk into the hall to find out that they had started packing up the decorations and clearing the hall."No, Your Majesty," she said before passing by me with multiple decoration cloths in her hand.I still walked further trying to pick up the remains of some wine bottles when a young Man rushed towards me and took it before I could reach it."Please let me," he said, taking even the disposable cup I managed to pick up.I watched him trying to pack up everything with his already filled hands. "Let me help you," I said, stretching to take some from him but he just dived it away."I can do it, My Queen." A glass almost slipping from him but he caught it right on time.I clicked my tongue in annoyance. "You see what I mean? Now let me help you." He didn't say anything when I started ta
EvaI spent almost the whole day with everyone involved in one thing or the other but I was zoomed out all through.The guys went out for a few hours before they came back with bags containing different kinds of foods and fruits to snack on.I had tried to bring up conversations about the Lycan ceremony but no answer I received dictated whatever my thoughts were, nor did it explain what was happening to me.Hunter and Mariah had explained that the Mating Ceremony only served to officially crown mates as forever partners while still strengthening the bond between them so it had nothing to do with what was happening to me. These new experiences that had my mind in constant fear and worry that something might be wrong with me.Daniel was not back yet and I wondered if he was trying to avoid me. But I checked and we didn't have any disagreement yesterday that I could attribute as the solid reason for his absence.I should be happy that he was keeping his distance but I just don't know. Th
DanielMy body nerves stood, arousing all my senses and messing with my head when my eyes met Eva's.All the feelings and new urges I have been trying to suppress since yesterday came running into the surface as soon as it met her troubled blue ones.The push of the bond, the war of my Lycan within me fighting to be near his Mate, and my body yearning for a skin to skin contact; all those emotions can rushing back in.The bond called out to her, wanting to feel her emotions. But anxiety, fear, uncertainty, and even… anger, rolled off from her.I was about to step further so I can know what is making her feel that way but she raced up the stairs before I could even blink."What happened?" Seth said and I followed his gaze to find almost everyone in the room.My Lycan was fuming inside me, wanting to take control so he could tear something into two and I feared everyone in the room would take the brunt so I didn't let him. There had to be a perfect explanation for what was putting my m
Daniel "What is going on?" My attention snapped back to Eva who had just come downstairs to find the surprise I had made for her.We - Seth, Liam, and I – had turned the entire lounge into the ambiance of a grand restaurant. With three separate round tables lining the scenery.Liam had come up with it, he wanted something special to compensate his Ava, his girlfriend for his absence for weeks but decided to bring Seth and me along and I was more than happy to oblige since it sounded like something that could help my relationship with Eva.I know this is just a little compared to what I planned to do to bring back the sweet memories I had with her back then but it was a start.So for now I was willing to try and see if she obliges to a group thing and then know how I can bring our private moments to her.She was wearing a body hug white long-sleeve gown designed with blue flowers that fitted her perfectly and accentuated her slim figure. Her defined curves perfectly showcased by the o
Eva "Are you nervous?" Daniel asked, placing his hand on my hand resting on my lap. We were in the Limo heading for a Council meeting Daniel explained as the new Queen, I was mandated to be a part of. I forced a smile his way, "I'm fine." I say removing his hand even though I know I'm not. How can I be? While I'm going crazy thinking about the eyes that will be on me during the meeting. I had never attended such things back at home since it's only reserved for the proposed heir yet I'm being told that I will probably be sitting in the head position with everybody's expectations on me. No, I was not okay. But I don't want a pep-talk from Daniel either. "Well, you don't look like you are not." Daniel said again, watching me. "I am," I mutter, before turning away from him. He sighs. "It's not a big deal, Little Bird, believe me. Just see yourself as in charge and you will be okay." Great. As usual, his stubborn self just had to give me the pap-talk irrespective. Silence hangs over
"I was coming in a minute," he tried to explain but I just pushed him back with my palm on his chest lightly, locking the door behind us. "You are already done eating? I'm sorry I had to…""Shh," I said, pushing him flush against me and slamming our lips together. I could still taste the thick whiskey on his mouth and I realised I distracted him so he hadn't brushed yet and this makes it more exciting for me since It's an opportunity for me to show him that I would delightfully kiss him no matter how he tasted."Let's just say I want to have something else for dinner tonight." I whispered against his ear, holding his gaze as my hand tugged on his towel.His eyes were filled with lust and excitement just like mine as I kept leading him back to the bed with backward steps and my hand on his chest. His cock was already straining his towel, doubling my own excitement and quadrupling my arousal.I pulled his towel away, instantly pushing him into the bed and straddling his nakedness. He gr
A noise inside the room drew my attention to see Sneha staring at us with wide eyes."Oh, I'm sorry," Sneha almost stumbled with the tray in her hands. "I didn't mean to intrude." Snapping out of my daze, I went to help her but Hectar, or I would say, his Lycan now on the surface, held firmly to my wrist not letting me go for even a second.She was out of the room in an instant and shut the door behind her. I could feel my Lycan pushing me to take control but I held her back, no way I'm letting this spiral out of control.His hands wrap around my waist, leaning down to capture my lips when I pull away, still trying to wrap my head around what exactly was happening. I watched hurt play in his eyes before Hectar pushes forward again. "I'm sorry," He said, "My Lycan must have… I'm leaving now." He turned to leave but I held back his arm."Hectar, wait," I knew my stepping back hurt him as well and he will think I'm probably rejecting him because of that."Hear me out okay? Don't assume."
Miranda PovIt had been two weeks since we ended Nashita and Aaron's plans and rebuilt some of the damaged houses and Malls of our territory after the honorary burial of our dead warriors and compensation of their families was done.I had felt more empty inside when I felt my final tether with Edward slip away after his death and a huge void grow heavily in my heart. Normally, Hectar's presence and friendship would have been my bedrock in this hard time but he had gone along with Reymond to an emergency foreign assignment since his trusted Men happen to have died in the confrontation, so Hectar was the only one less busy enough to follow him to it right after the next day of the war.So I have practically not seen or heard from him ever since, which didn't make me me happy because he was practically the only one I had been able to rely on completely for so many years and his absence happen to really dial in on how much he meant to me more than I had realised when he was around.He init
"I'm sorry for the awful ways I treated you, Eva. Please forgive me, Sister." A nostalgic feeling washed over me remembering how she cried like a baby when she was just five years and I found her hidden inside the wardrobe when Greg unintentionally left her over at school and went off with his friends thinking that Lisa had picked her up already, leaving her there till late at night when we went out to find her.In fear, she had jumped into my arms exactly like this when I found her before everyone and sobbed heavily.I felt warmth over my heart and tears beginning to form in my eyes. "Please…" she said again in her usual childish voice she always used on Lisa when she wanted to get her to agree and let her have her naughty way.I chuckled causing a tear to slip down my eyes. I placed my hand on her silky long blonde hair. "It's fine, Anisha, I Forgive. I had forgiven you a long time ago.""Thank you," she sniffed, tightening her arm around me and I moved my hand caressing her hair and
"You will be fine, Father, everything will be alright." I tried to sound strong, hoping that I could use my healing abilities on him.He shook his head and smiled sadly and in pain.The several bandages on his chest were already getting soaked with blood and the life I felt living in him when I pressed my hand against him to try and restore him told me that he was not just blasted in his heart, but he didn't want to live. He was not fighting it. My Father was not fighting something for once in his life."Father, you can do this. Please just fight this." I begged, desperately trying to channel my healing energy in him though I was already so drained from restoring Daniel and had only so little left. But he was not accepting it. It was like his body was rejecting my powers. I didn't understand. I was confused and frustrated. I didn't know that someone could refuse receiving the healing energy being channelled. I never saw it in the book about Volcono Lycans Mum gave me to read."Let it g
Eva"Here I thought you were as powerful as I saw in my vision but it seems I was mistaken. Or maybe you haven't gotten full access to your power." She laughed hysterically before her torture increased, becoming unbearable.Her eyes flashed to pure black as her bulbs of energy became fiery the more it zapped out from her hand. "I will just have to take your powers then, you won't be needing it now.""You will never win!" I spat in anger feeling rage and pain fill me because of my failure once again. I was supposed to be the one with the highest advantage of strength and power, yet here I was under this godforsaken witch, feeling just as useless as I felt that night of the attack five years ago.Maybe I am not what was said I am. Maybe Mother was mistaken when she said I was the most powerful creature in the shifter's world currently. I was a failure and this was proving it.The bolt of life I felt leaving me made me hopeless the more I tried to trash against her magic but my whole bod
I wanted to make sure that whatever happened, the next generation of Lycans and werewolves were preserved and that is exactly what we are doing.I could feel a rush of dread that ran through me the more we advanced closer. It was obvious we were getting closer to Nashita and her herds with every passing thud of our paws on the ground as we sped in our Lycan form towards their direction while still keeping Eva's voice active in my mind. Hearing her somehow gave me courage and empowered my beast to dive into what could be our possible end of everything goes haywire but the desire to still fulfil that 'forever' promise we made to each was a pump to the fighter in us. We would not die. We would fight with our whole life.The added thud of not just our warriors in full speed with me, but the noise I could now hear coming from the ravenous beasts approaching us was a testament that it was about to go down, and go down fast. Dust splattered on the ground as our large purrs brushed the now sa
DanielWe had been preparing for close to a month now trying to get ourselves ready for whatever is coming our way while trying to use as many gifted Lycans as possible to trace Nashita and Aaron's hideout and possibly take them by surprise, attacking them before they attack us. But we haven't been able to do so. It was like their layer was protected by a powerful impenetrable shield that Amaya called Blood magic.Apparently, Aaron had been using his powerful Lycan blood, as a Swarv bloodline, to mix with their magic and create powerful spells and enchantments while also creating those horrible beasts he called his creations. Which explains why his eyes had turned from its normal Lycan black to a mixture of Crimson signalling his long use of magic mixing with his blood and making him ten times more powerful than he was before.We were however able to figure out when they were preparing to attack, leveraging Eva's power of sight and Liam's instincts."Come in," I said, rummaging through
EvaToday we welcomed the pups and Nana from the orphanage back at home who Daniel decided to bring in using the Jet and assign the old Mansion as a dwelling location until everything back in the Werewolf territory was calm. A cloaking spell was also doubled where they were and safety guilds were put in place to checkmate everyone's movements for the next few days.Meanwhile we have been going for meetings with the Alphas and the Lycan territory Gammas on how to deal with what was happening and it has not been going well for days now. It was like everyone of our plans were being leaked out and us finding the Alpha that was working with Aaron and Nashita using my power of sight actually confirmed it.We were able to convince him of safely bringing his pups back and I was able to bring about cooperation with the Alphas by using my Alpha voice and Lycan authority to calm the situation showing them that I had both beasts and therefore not out against either.Today's meeting has actually tu
