IMOGEN’s POV.The look on the master's face changes as my hands close over his shaft. I am aware of the fact that he was not expecting what I did which makes it more difficult for him to believe.His breath hitch and I see how he balls his hand into a slight fist. I can already guess what is going on in his mind but I am firm in my decision. My insides are also churning with anger as my hand works on him but what can I do?I only have to imagine that master Athan is the one in front of me and this is what keeps me going.“What do you think you are doing, Imogen?” Derrick rasps out as he lets out a gentle moan.“Doing what you like master” I manage to answer, “you can punish me when you get out of bed but now, I have the upper hand”I know exactly what I am doing, I am trying to rile him up to get some kind of reaction from him. I want him to see me in a different light even if I hate it with everything inside of me. “You are making a mistake, Imogen” his deep husky voice penetrat
DERRICK’s POV.I angrily slam the door close as I enter my room. How dare Imogen think she can do as she pleases. It seems I am becoming too lenient with her and she thinks she can do as she pleases.The more I think about it, the more angry I get. My mind wanders off to Zoey and I ball my hand into a fist, she makes it look like it was all my fault when ours was a forbidden love.*******Flashback“Why do you look so stressed?” Zoey asked as she walked up to me, her hands snaking around my waist and she pressed her head against my shoulders.“Nothing, I am fine” I answered while trying to hide my true feelings, how could I be fine?“Are you scared?” She asked out of nowhere and I turned my attention to her, her eyes staring back at me “Scared? Of course, I am not. Why will I be?”“Tomorrow is the full moon and I might not be your mate tomorrow Derrick” her eyes were filled with tears, “I am also scared and I don’t want our relationship to end. I love you too much to even want to le
IMOGEN’s POV.Heaving a sigh for the umpteenth time. I glance over at master who has not said anything to me since yesterday. He is genuinely mad at me and all I can do is blame myself, we were getting along well and I could have executed my plans in less time but seeing the way he is mad at me, I know I was really pissed him off but what I can’t understand is why he is so mad at me.I was not aware of his love life with Zoey and now I am in the midst of their quarrel.Heaving another sigh again, I pull out my sword and turn my attention to Katana who has a sleazy smile on her lips. She is quite aware of the issue I have with Derrick and I am sure she is going to capitalise on that.“The duel is about to start, master” I hear Zoey announce to Derrick and he nods before turning his attention to me for a split second. I can see the angry look still emanating from him and I am determined for him to take his words back. How can he refuse to see me after everything I have planned and pu
DERRICK’s POV.I am actually stunned by her audacity, Imogen is probably the first female to stand up to me even if she is aware of the fact that I can actually snap her head out of her body.How can she be so fearless even in the midst of danger?“You don’t look scared” I tell her, my eyes staring down at her in awe. I can’t lie, I am really mesmerized by her audacity.“You know I can hurt you in the worst ways possible, Imogen” I further tell her.“Everyone I have come across has hurt me in the most painful ways master Derrick, I won’t even feel it now if you hurt me?”“Are you sure?” I can already feel a bulge underneath my pants as I continue to stare back at her. This is one of the first times that I actually feel myself hardening because of her, I have never been aroused by her but right now, I can already feel it surging through my body which is somewhat surprising for me.“You said you own me right?”Before Imogen can get the next words out of her mouth, I yank her closer and
IMOGEN’s POV.I don’t even know what I was thinking as I give Derrick the permission to ravage my body. I know I must do things like this to make him warm up to me and then I can get rid of him but I made a vow to myself that master Athan is the only man who is allowed to touch me all my life.Yet, here I was in the arms of another man and about to get laid. The more I think about it, the more I feel like I am doing something wrong. I know the master gave the permission but I still don’t feel right about it.I jolt from my train of thought when Derrick snakes his hand around my waist for the umpteenth time and pull me towards himself, a bizarre smirk hovering across his lips.He knows exactly what he is doing and it makes me hate him the most.“One minute you badly want to be on my bed Imogen and the next minute, you are shying away?”His eyes is filled With something mysterious and strange, I can not decipher what exactly is going on in his mind even if I try to,“Don’t you think yo
IMOGEN’s POV.I have never been so scared in my life as the master continues to take slow strides towards us, his brows knitted and he looks angry.How come he is here? What exactly is he even doing here? The more I think about it, the more I feel like everything is going to come out clean today.Master is dressed in one of his usual robes and his hair is pulled back in a bun with pins holding it in place and with his hands folded behind him as usual.Amira is also behind him and the moment our eyes meet, a kind of feeling envelops me, we have never had any encounter before but she is the bane of my existence. Maybe because she is near the man I love or I generally don’t like her aura.“Athan” his name rolls out of Derrick’s mouth, “I wasn’t expecting you to come to my pack, you aren’t scared are you?”Master is silent for a while, his eyes staring down at me and he doesn’t look pleased at all. One thing is for certain, I am sure going to get punished.“You said she is a member of yo
DERRICK’s POV.The moment I hear that he is Imogen’s mate, a kind of anger grips me. So it is because of him that Imogen behaves the way she does? The thought of it makes me want to have her at all cost and I am going to do that.I am going to make sure she understands that I always get what I want.The two of us are facing each other and Athan has this angry smirk on his face. He is one among the persons I hate the most in this world and I can not fathom why. It feels like we have had an encounter before and here we are again?Bracing myself, I lean forward as I grab the chalice of wine beside me.“Tell me, why have you come to my pack? I must say you are a daring man, Athan. You even dare to enter my territory just to save your rejected mate, you might be giving the wrong impression here”“Well, what can I say? I can naturally sense when she is in danger and since I was passing by, I decided to come save her yet again”I ball my hand into a fist as I lean back on my chair again.“
ATHAN’s POV.Two hours ago.After walking for a few hours, Amira finally gives up and lowers herself on the rocks while I stand watching over my surroundings.I was actually taking a walk just to clear my head after all the stress I have been going through and she decides to come with me, making matters worse.“You should go back if you are tired” I tell her but she immediately stands up with a creepy smile on her face.“Not at all master” Amira replies, “I am perfectly fine, we should be on our way” After talking, Amira looks around and her forehead creases into a slight frown as reality dawns on her.“We are in the nightshade territory master” she tells me and I raise an eyebrow at her, I was already aware of my surroundings.“Of course, we are” I reply, “we should be on our way now. We must be back at aqua blade before nightfall”With that, I turn on my heel and start to walk away while Amira threads softly behind me.We have not even gone far when I stop abruptly and clutch on
EPILOGUE.ATHAN’s POV.The moment I open my eyes, I see Eed lying down beside me with a huge grin on my face, a gesture which immediately irritates me and I shove her off.“How dare you?” I growl in anger, “what the hell do you think you are doing?”“It is all over, Athan” she tells me and the grin on her face widens, “everything is over now”“What…” I angrily push her against the wall and grab her neck, “I think it is high time I teach you a lesson for all the things you have caused” I dig my claws deeper into her skin and blood spills out of it making her groan in pain.“Imogen….” the moment I hear her name, I suddenly let go of her neck as reality dawns on me.“What did you do to her?”“It is all over, Athan” she tells me again.Not bothering to wait for what she has to say again, I vanish from the room and immediately appear at Aqua blade, a sight that greets me sorry.Everywhere is in flames and a lot of bodies are on the ground. A few others are trying to put out the fire and fo
IMOGEN’s POV.With one last glance at the mirror, we both make our way out of the room towards the area for the ceremony.The mark and mate ceremony is one that allows the male and the female to create an eternal bond with each other.With each passing moment, I feel the tension build up inside of me. I know what I am about to do will cause a lot of problems but I have to do it for the good of the rest of them.“Are you fine?” Master’s concerned voice reaches my ears and I give him a fake smile.“Of course” I reply, “I am just a bit nervous that’s all”Master flashes me a genuine smile, “don’t worry, I am here and I won’t let anything happen to you okay?”After walking for a while, we both enter the large hall and everyone stands up to welcome us. The hall is decorated beautifully and the two thrones in the middle of the room look so superb. I didn’t know the master had made such arrangements, everything looks so superb and beautiful. I can’t bear but tear up, how I have dreamed of th
ATHAN’s POV..“You look spectacular, master” silver says with a huge grin on his lips, “I didn’t know you would still push with the ceremony even if you are not one from among us”“Hmmmm” I turn my focus on him, “of course I am from among you” I tell him, “I am from that descendancy” I further tell him.“Of course” the grin on his face begins to fade, “i just hope everything goes well, master”I can feel his pain, I can feel his concern and everything in between. I can see it all. The fear and the anger.“You don’t worry, silver” I press my hand against his shoulders, “everything will go perfectly as long as you do what I ask you”“Yes master” he bows again, “I will go and check the arrangements outside” with that, he walks out of the room leaving me all to myself.Finally it is here, my mark and mate ceremony. The day me and Imogen will strengthen our bond, the day me and Imogen will show the world that we are officially together. I can decide not to do a mark and mate ceremony and
IMOGEN’s POV.After leaving Anna, I went back into my chambers and I was a bit surprised to see Master sitting on my bed and he had my diary in hand. I thought I hid it well, how was he able to get it?“Master” I gently bow to him, “I didn’t know you were here” I say again and he flashes me a smile without saying anything.“Are you okay?” I ask him again, he looks a bit worried and it is evident on his face, the way he is just staring at me.“Imogen” he calls my name after a while, “sit” Master pats the place beside him and I perch on the space with my whole attention still on him. “Why do you look so worried, Master?” I can’t help but ask him again, “is everything okay?”“Derrick will attack on the day of our mark and mate ceremony” he responds, “he is getting his army ready”For a while, I was speechless. I know exactly what Master is talking about now, Derrick wants to attack on the most important day of our lives. I am not sure how I should feel but I am so angry and upset.“Did
DERRICK’s POV.With a little groan, I aggressively slip my shaft out of Zoey’s wet honey pot and stand up from the bed, a smirk is lingering on my lips and I love the way her whole body is vibrating even when I am no longer buried deep inside of her again.This has become my daily routine now, after Imogen left. The thought of it makes me mad for a few seconds but when I realise I have one of her blade member’s body hanging on a stake just outside the courtyard, my body relaxes and my anger dilapidates. How dare those two Alpha level wolves think they can beat me? I can’t help but scoff at the thought of that, they made me laugh so hard.“You look happy” Zoey's tiny and annoying voice reaches my ears and I turn my head towards her, a furrow on my brows.“Why shouldn't I be?”“Of course not, master” she immediately responds, “I mean you have been so angry since Imogen left and it is weird to see you smiling so brightly”She climbs out of the bed and I hear her cuss silently in pain, h
IMOGEN’s POV..I slowly open my eyes again and my lips open up in a slight yawn, master is seated beside me and his lips curl into a gentle smile when he sees me.He is now fully dressed in his black robe with a chalice of wine sitting beside him.“You are awake?” His unusually deep and warm voice filters into my ears and I nod gently before pushing my body to a sitting position. How can a man be so beautiful?“How do you feel now?” He asks me again and I gently nod.“I still feel a little sore but I am good” I answer in all sincerity, “I will be fine after a shower”“Good, I already have your bath running,” he tells me, “should I help you shower?”This time he stands up and walks up to the bed with a smirk still lingering on his lips, “if you can not walk, I can take you to the bathroom”“Of course not” i gently refute, “I can walk on my own”“Sure”With that, I slowly climb out of the bed and I hiss in pain when I feel a stab in between my legs, Master is sure a beast in bed.“Why
ATHAN’s POV.I groan in pleasure as her hand continues to move up and down my shaft, I can feel my whole body heating up from her touch and her body. With each stroke, I find myself moaning and shuddering, how I want to be inside of her again and show her who is the dominating one.“You like it?” Imogen whispers over my hair with a cute smirk on her face and beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Her boobs are bouncing up and down with each movement and I can not help but squeeze them tightly making her groan in pleasure and ecstasy.“Fuck, Imogen” I mumble, I can feel my shaft hardening and growing in her hand, why exactly do I feel extremely sexual with her so badly even after I have taken and taken her?My thoughts are interrupted when she climbs down from me and positions herself in front of my erect member and for a moment I furrow my brows.“What are you doing?”“Giving you pleasure”With that, she closes her mouth over my erection and I shudder almost immediately. It felt lik
IMOGEN’s POV.I slowly open my eyes and I find myself lying down on Master’s bed with a blanket over my naked body and Master is seated on the window railings with his whole attention on me. I am not sure how we got back into the room but seeing how a smile is gracing his face, he must be feeling very happy and proud of himself for taking me times without number. I literally had to beg him to stop which he didn’t until I passed out and I am just waking up.“Hello, sleeping beauty” the smirk on his face intensifies, “you slept for a while”“And who caused it?” I ask with a pout while pulling my body into a sitting position. I hiss out in pain when I feel a stab under my belly.“Are you okay?” His voice reaches my ears again with a mocking smirk on his face, “why are you groaning in pain?”“You like what you are doing right?”He comes to sit beside me and tuck a few strands of my hair to the back of my ears.“You look so pretty Imogen, now I feel like taking you time and again” he runs
ATHAN’s POV..After walking for a while, we both enter the garden and I finally let go of her hand before turning my attention to her.“Why did you bring me here?” Imogen asks me, “i wasn’t expecting you to bring me here”“You need cool down, Imogen” I tell her while snaking my hand around her waist, “you are getting worked up over nothing” I pull her closer to myself in a more gentle manner, “i don’t like the fact that we are fighting when we shouldn’t ““I am not fighting with you, master” she replies, “I am just concerned about the fact that you could have actually saved him but you didn’t. How will I be able face Anna now? I am trying to have a thick skin but I know for a fact that she is right, I am the one who killed Ace and I won't be able to live with myself no matter what. I made a little pup lose its father, I don’t…”“Shhhh” I press my hand against her lips when I notice she is about to cry, “don’t blame yourself, my love”I pull her into my embrace and Imogen begins to cr
