DERRICK’s POV.The moment those words left her mouth, I see Imogen’s forehead crease into a slight frown. She must be really surprised and I can see it on her face.“What do you mean?” Imogen asks, “be my servant?”“Of course” the lady’s lips curl into a small smirk, “I heard you are one of the greatest swordsman in nightshade pack and it is an honour to meet you, I want to learn under you”“What are you trying to play at?” I retort before moving closer to her, “how dare you come into my pack and act like you are not an enemy?”“Master Derrick” the lady bows gently, “I promise you I am not a bad person. I only want to be by her side and become a better person, i have heard a lot of tales about Imogen from aqua blade”“You can not walk into my pack and make decisions” I grab her by the hand while peering deep into her eyes, it feels like I know her. Something about her feel quite familiar but I can't pinpoint it. She sure knows how to mask her trail.“Tell me who you are or I will hav
IMOGEN’s POV.An hour earlier.After I leave Derrick and walk back into the large hall, Athena is still standing there and the moment she sees me, her lips curl into a small smile. The aura surrounding her is friendly yet evil, a lot is on around her but I can't pinpoint it, even my wolf is unable to decipher what is going on in her head.“You look tense, Imogen” she tells me, “is it because of me?”“Can I ask you a few questions?” I ask her in return, “and I want you to be very honest with me. I can only allow you be by my side if you are very honest with me Athena”“What exactly do you want to know, Imogen?” She replies, “ask me anything and I will tell you the truth”“Why exactly are you here? What did master Athan tell you to do? Why did he send you here?” She scoffs while placing both hands behind her, “which of the questions do you want me to answer first, Imogen? You have asked me a lot of questions and now I can not even remember the questions''I ball my hand into a fist, s
ATHAN’s POV.I didn’t even break the kiss as I lay her on the bed gently and I get on top of her.Her eyes are staring back at me in anticipation, I know exactly what is going on in her head and I can’t stop my demon from growling in ecstasy. Why does she smell so nice today? The thought of it makes me grin with excitement.My lips curl into a gentle smile as we disengage from each other, my hand still roaming around her body.“Should I continue?”I am not one to ask for permission, I am not one to wait for her answer but here I am. Part of me don’t want to hurt her anymore, part of me don’t want to make her cry anymore. I have made her cry a lot and now I want to make up for my mistakes. Not in the most appropriate way possible but one thing is for sure, I want Imogen by my side no matter what.“Are you really asking for my permission, master?” Imogen is surely surprised.“Yes, I don’t want to force you into doing anything against your will, Imogen. If you tell me to stop, I will sto
IMOGEN’s POV.The moment he breaks past my barrier, I let out a painful moan as tears well up in my eyes. This is not the first time I am being in this kind of a situation with master Athan but this one sure feels different.It feels like we are both bound by an oath, bound by desire and lust.“Are you okay?” Master asks, cutting into my train of thoughts.“Yes” I manage to answer while gulping back the tears in my eyes.Smirking a little, he holds onto my waist and he begins to move his waist.Each stroke taking me straight to the seventh heaven and back, I am loving whatever he is doing with me.“I am going to go faster now” he whispers to me and cups my right breast again before he begins to ram into me. His thrusts are wide and vigorous, making me lose my senses in the process.My moans and his groans fill the room as he continues to thrust into me with reckless abandon, sweat pouring down his forehead while his hand continues to tease my sensitive spots. “Uhmmm” I moan loudly w
DERRICK’s POV.It is already past midnight but the light in my chambers is still on and I am still seated on my bed waiting for her. The fact that she had gone to meet Athan made me so angry but I want to take any decision in haste. I want to hear everything from her at first but why is she taking so long?I look out through the window again and I can’t help but admire the beautiful moon gracing the sky.In a few days, if everything goes well, I will be mated to Imogen. The thought of it makes excitement surge through my whole body and my lips curl into a small smile.My thoughts are interrupted when my door pushes open and she enters.For a moment, I am left in awe the minute my eyes come in contact with her. Instead of her usual long and flowy dresses or a pair of pants.This time around, she is wearing a nightdress which is a bit transparent and I can see the whole contour of her body through it. She is thick and thin in the right places, even my shaft begins to twich underneath my
ATHAN’s POV.A smirk is lingering on my face as I saunter into the training ground.Silver and Ace are both training on the ground and the moment they see me, they both stop and bow to me.“Master,” Silver says.“You hardly ever have a smirk on her face master but now you are actually having a smile on your face. Do you care to share?”“Is it obvious on my face?” I ask him, “do I look so happy?”“Yes master” Ace replies, “I can feel your excitement from here”His statement makes me laugh a little, he is hilarious.“Well” I turn my head towards silver and the smirk dies away a little.“You should stop loving Imogen, silver. She belongs to me now and I don’t think I will be happy with the fact that one of my minion has an eye for my mate, even my demon will be angry about it”His forehead creases into a slight frown and he gulps, I know exactly what he is feeling. I know exactly what is going on in his head.“I don’t..”I interrupt him, “you don’t have to explain anything to me, silver
ATHAN’s POV.The moment I saunter into the large hall, I see my mother seated on her throne and a grin is playing at the edge of her lips, she must be aware of why I have come to her presence.“I was not expecting you” she says while leaning forward, “why have you come to me, son?”“I have always wondered why we were never close and now I have my answer. You are just concerned about the worship of the people, you don’t even care about the fruit that came from your womb” i bellow angrily while placing my two hands on my waist, “you are just a power hungry goddess”Her forehead creases into a slight frown, “what do you mean Athan?”I scoff while raking my hand through my hair in desperation and frustration, how I want to grab Derrick by the throat and make him pay for even looking at my Imogen.“Why are you so angry about the fact that I want to mate her to Derrick?" she asks again, “You clearly didn’t want her?”“You didn’t do anything when your sister snatched Charlotte away from me a
IMOGEN’s POV.Heaving another sigh, I push my door open and saunter out of my room. One of the female wolf warriors is standing guard at the door and the moment she sees me, she gently bows to me which makes me cringe a little. I don’t want to be in a position where I will make any of them dance to my tunes, I just want to complete my master's task and leave.“Where is master Derrick?” I ask her.“He is on the training grounds” she answers, “he has been there since the early hours of the morning” she further adds and i flash her a gentle smile before making my way towards the training ground.Derrick is having a spar session with Zeth and from the look of things, he is in a bad mood.Clad in a only a pair of pants and his sword dancing dangerously in his hand, Derrick swings his blade at Zeth and a tough fight ensures. It is meant to be a spar match like I was told but from the intensity of their fight, I feel like it is so much more than I can imagine.As I watch from the sidelines,
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
