ATHAN’s POV.I watch her leave and I can see the longing in her eyes, the fact that she is waiting for me to even stop her but that is one thing I will not do. Tasking with either alphas is the only way of keeping her alive.My thought is interrupted when I feel the presence of someone behind me and I turn to see Ayita. Ayita is the girl I was with yesterday when Imogen came into my room and she has a sleazy smile on her lips, I hate it.“Master” she calls out, trying to make her voice as feminine as possible which is much more annoying than anything.“What do you want?” I ask her while lowering myself on the cane chair, “I don't remember calling for you” I tell her.“Yes master, you did not call for me” she replies, “I am thinking you will need company after Imogen has left, she caused quite a ruckus these past few days”My eyes travel around her for a moment and I can’t help but scoff, the nerve of her to even think she is worth my attention and my time, how dare she? It seems I am
IMOGEN’s POVAfter I left the blade, I make my way across the huge walls that surround the blade and and I go towards the valley that houses the dark shadow pack, I know I am going to have a litle confrontation with them and I brace myself. It is not like they are going to kill me or anything but master always says to be prepared and ready for anything at any point in time.After walking for a few hours, I finally come to the valley and like I predict, some of their soldiers are guarding the large gates that lead outside of the valley and into the forest and hills.I have only gone outside the gate a few times when I am given tasks to accomplish but I have never really enjoy the serenity of the hills and mountains, maybe I can get to do that today if I luckily make it out of the dark shadow pack alive.As I make my way towards them, I see them ready their weapons, crouching and waiting for me.I am finally in front of them and I halt before dropping my sword on the floor.“I have come
I don’t know for how long I have been walking but I know for a fact that I am near my destination. The night is already over the sky and I am thinking of spending the night just outside the walls of the nightshade park. Before I left the aqua blade, the master tells me the alpha of the park is not just an alpha but a Lycan king. A kind of fear grips me but what can I do? I am between the devil and the deep blue sea.With a lot going on in my mind, I lower myself at the foot of the tree as I begin to examine my body. Walking in between shrubs and trees, I sustain a lot of minor injuries but it is nothing compared to the pain in my heart. The thought of the master and his rejection continues to haunt me and I can not escape from it no matter what.My attention is drawn to a little rustle between the bushes and before I can say or do anything, two Eeriuffi rushes up to me and grabs me by the hand before pinning me to the ground.Nightshade pack is one of the most dreaded and dangerous wol
A whip wraps around my back and I open my eyes with a painful wince, I look around to see everyone is already outside and I am the only person who is still in the prison. One of the Eeriuffs from yesterday is standing in front of me and he looks mad, I must have fallen asleep and didn’t wake up on time.“You think you are here to take a joy ride?” He hiss at me while whipping my leg again and I groan lowly, this is little compared to the punishment I had to endure in the ice dungeon.“Bring her out, Rey” I hear one of them say and he grabs my hand and pushes me towards the entrance and out of the prison.The sun is already making its way towards the middle of the earth and I can see everyone sprawled underneath it, the heavy heat of the sun shining down on their bodies coupled with the previous wounds, it is bound to surely be painful.“Join them” he pushes me to the floor and I have no choice but to find my spot near the lady from the night before, she looks like she is about to giv
It is past midnight when I hear a creaking of the huge iron bars and I throw my eyes open to see Rey entering the dungeon and from the way he is moving, I know what he is about to do. My heart almost jumps into my mouth when he begins to move in my direction and I have to hold my breath like I am sleeping. Another man aside my master touching me is like a taboo for me. How can I let a total stranger touch me just like that?I am waiting and watching until he bends in front of me and begins to touch me. On impulse I almost open my eyes and hit him but I stop myself, I don’t want them finding out who I am or what I am capable of doing. I have come too far to give myself out at this point.As I keep waiting, his hands continue to move around my body until he stops near my bosom and grabs my breast which makes me give a light yelp and he immediately covers my mouth while pressing his index finger on his own lips.“Don’t wake anyone up, Imogen” he tells me, “you don’t want to do this” he a
ATHAN’s POVThis is the fourth day since Imogen left and I can actually feel the peace and serenity that accompanies her leaving. Having her around is actually going to make me hate her the most. I see how Anna and her friends parade around me trying to make me notice them which is also annoying but since none of them have mustered up the courage to meet me, I will continue to turn a blind eye to it and maybe make someone an appropriate scapegoat at the right time. I am sitting alone in the courtyard while the new recruits are training in front of me. Silver and Ace are doing a good job with training but it is cut short when Brown walks up to me and whispers something into my ear. The moment I hear it, the look on my face changes and I angrily stand up.“Continue with the training, I will be back soon” I tell them and make my way to the back of my mansion. It is a garden which I have personally planted for the only woman I have ever loved and will ever love. How dare she think she
The moment I get to where the intruder is kneeling at the centre of the courtyard, my mood changes for the worst. I actually know the person who has come to steal from the temple of the goddess.A few years ago, on my way through the gates of the dark shadow pack, we had an encounter which left him wounded severely after he said what he was not supposed to say. I actually thought he died but here he is, in my territory again and for a moment my lips curl into a wicked smile. I actually know why he is here, that person is the one who pushed him to come into my territory, she wants to satiate my blood taste.I walk up to him and bend in front of him before grabbing his neck.“I told you I will kill you the next time I set my eyes on you, right?”I can see the fear in his eyes, the fear of the unknown. The fear of what I can do to him, the fear of the evil smirk on my face.He is one of the Gemma of the dark shadow pack and one of the most ruthless hunters of the pack, I have always want
The moment her dress falls to the ground, my lips curl into a mocking smile. I have seen a lot of women whose bodies are much more interesting than this lady in front of me but I will keep that to myself, I will shatter her when the time comes.“So you think you are worthy enough to pleasure me?” I ask her while crossing one of my legs over the other.“Your wish is my command master” Anna replies, “I will only do as you command, master”“Come in” I call out and the door push open again and Ace enters before making his way towards me.“Master” he bows.I see the way Anna is trying to hide her body which makes me almost burst into laughter, she is just too naive.“Anna” this time, my voice is more serious and more authoritative.“Yes master” she answers in an uneasy voice.“Ace” I call out to him too.“Yes master”“ you have been in this blade for years and you have not found your mate, today I make Anna your mate and you may consummate your relationship tonight”A look of horror flas
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
