Imogen’s POV.I gently open my eyes as a slight yawn escapes my lips, the whole room is a bit dark because of the huge curtains running from the ceiling to the ground giving off a kind of eerie feeling that I am not unable to understand.Pushing the feelings to the back of my head, I try to climb out of bed but the moment my feets touch the ground, I hiss in pain. My back is still sore which leaves me wondering when I will be fine.My attention is drawn to the picture that is sitting beautifully on one shelf and even if it looks a bit old, the wooden frame is still a bit catchy.Gathering all the energy I can, I stand up and walk to the shelf before grabbing a hold of the frame.It is a portrait of a beautiful lady and she looks so happy in the picture but who exactly is she?My mind wanders off to master Athan and the picture in his room. I can’t help but feel a little sad. My musing is interrupted when the door pushes open and Derrick enters in all his mightiness.The moment his ey
DERRICK’s POV.Her statement makes me walk back to her with a smirk hovering above my lips, she must have so much faith in herself for speaking like that.“You are sure about what you are saying?” I take slow strides towards her, “I think you should take your words back”“Am I not worthy to grace your bed?” Imogen asks.“Worthy?” I scoff as I finally come to a halt in front of her, “you think you are worthy of being in my bed?”“Then why did you bring me to your room to recover?” she asks again, “i have been sleeping on your bed, I have been recovering here”I slowly wrap my hand around her waist while pulling her closer to me,“You think I brought you here because I brought you to my room?” My eyes staring down at her, “is that what you think?”“No”“Good” my eyes darken a little, “don’t even think about it okay? I only did that for reasons best known to me and I suggest you get well soon and get out of my room”Not bothering to wait for her response, i storm out of the room in ange
Imogen’s POV.With one last strike, the snarling wolf falls to the ground with a loud thud while I also fall on my knees. This is the longest I have had to fight in my entire life and seeing the amount of dead people on the ground, I can’t help but look around, the courtyard is full of littered bodies from both sides but Derrick and katana are nowhere to be found.I suddenly become alarmed as I spring up on my feet in fear, did something bad happen to him?“Imogen” a voice calls from behind me and I turn to see Zoey walking up to me, her body is full of bloodstains and her dagger is still in her hand, “master wants you in his chambers”Before she can even complete what she is trying to say, I immediately rush towards the building.As I get near his room, I can hear muffled sounds from inside and I hastily throw the door open to reveal Derrick on the bed with the physician and zeth hovering above him.As I walk closer, I take notice of the dagger that is protruding out of his stomach
ATHAN’s POV.Closing the book I am reading, i put it back on the shelf and just as I try to make my way out of the room , the moment I get to the door, I see a particular raven hanging by the window and I can’t help but roll my eyes to the back of my head. I thought he was touring the world? Why is he suddenly back?Raking my hand through my dishevelled hair, I walk over to the window and open it, immediately it flies inside and perches on my wooden table.“I thought you were on a vacation?” I ask while lowering myself on the chair again, “why are you suddenly back?”“Why?” He asks back, “don’t you miss me?”“Of course I didn’t” I answer, “tell me why you are here or leave, I am very busy right now”“Stop being like that” zeke responds while transforming into his human self, “you are hurting my feelings by behaving like you don’t want me here” zeke says with a slight pout, “tell me, what has been happening while I was away”Shaking my head, I stand up and begin to take short and ca
Imogen’s POV.I gently open my eyes as I yawn lightly, the moon is still gracing the sky and its beam is reflecting into the room shining directly on Derrick’s face and I can’t help but look down at him for a moment.I must have fallen asleep while watching him and he also looks like he is in a deep and uncomfortable sleep because he keeps whimpering at intervals while muttering things under his breath yet his face is calm like he is trying to hide his pains from the world.“Master…” I gently tap his shoulder but he doesn’t seem to notice, his mouth is still slightly open and he is still spewing some things that I can not hear.His teeths are clenched together and he looks like he is having an internal battle with himself. Heaving a sigh to myself, I gently tap him again and this time he opens his eyes but he doesn’t say anything, Derrick doesn’t even look like he knows me. He just has this lonesome and absurd look on his face.“Master Derrick?” I call out his name again while gently
As the fight continues, my heart pounds in my chest as I push myself to a standing position again. Sweat drips down my brow, but I remain focused, my determination unwavering. With lightning speed, Katana launches a barrage of punches towards me, but I evade each one with the remaining strength I have. I counter with a swift kick, aiming for her midsection. She blocks it effortlessly, her skill evident.We move with a dance-like grace, trading strikes and paunches. I unleash a flurry of punches, my fists a blur in the air. She responds with a series of powerful kicks, each one aimed at testing my defences. I duck, weave, and dodge, relying on my agility to evade her relentless assault.As the fight intensifies, my adrenaline surges. I channel my focus and tap into my inner strength. With a burst of energy, I execute a spinning back kick, catching her off guard. The impact sends her stumbling backward, momentarily stunned.A small smirk appears on my lips as I see the look of confusion
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
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
