DERRICK’s POV..As the water splurges down on my body, I can’t help but think about the girl I had just left in my room. The more i think about her, the more I am sure she is not who she says she is. Everything about her is just different, the more I think about it, the more upset I become. Even my demon couldn’t help but growl with me, it is also aware of the fact that she is hiding something from me.“Imogen” I mutter under my breath as the water continues to pour down on my whole body with my eyes wide open, a lot is going on in my mind.After a few minutes, I step out of the bathroom again and I am not suprised to meet her where I have left her, still kneeling and looking like a chicken drenched in the rain. Just the sight of her irks something in my body and I feel like actually pushing my dagger into her chest and watching her bleed to death.“Why are you still here?” I ask while walking towards my wardrobe and i pull out a pair of black robe, “I am done with you, you can leave”
IMOGEN’s POVAs I walk back to my room, my mind continues to linger on what had just happened, why did the master kill Alpha Alessandro? The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that Alessandro must have caused it. Master Athan is not one to act recklessly but I know for a fact that the situation has made him do that. After I enter my room, I slump on the bed while looking out of the window, a lot going on in my mind as I watch everyone and everything that is happening outside.Finally i am by Derrick’s side and it will be much more easier for me to do what I have to do, taking his life is going to be much more easier than I thought. He is not as smart as he looks even if he is just as ruthless as my master.The more I think about it, the more i just want to get this over with and go back home. Maybe when I finally succeed, master will accept me as his mate and love me back.Just at this moment, a kind of pain surges through my body and I grab onto the bed to calm myself,
ATHAN’s POV.Walking into the courtyard, everyone bows to me as I make my way towards my usual spot. It is the day after Amira and Nara’s duel. While one is nursing her wounds and that of her wolf, the other is standing beside me with a huge smile on her face. No matter how annoying the smirk is, she actually won the fight fair and square and I am going to give her her flowers.“Ummm” i clear my throat as I start to talk, “after watching the duel between Amira and Nara, it is safe to say that Amira has earned my favour and because of that, I will personally train her and she will be become one of the assassins of Aqua blade when she is done with her training” A round of applause rises from the crowd but not everyone is genuinely happy, I can see the look on their faces especially a certain someone”“Master” someone calls from the crowd and she walks up to me before falling on her feet.“You better have something good to say” I hiss at her.“Forgive my manners master” Ayita starts ta
ATHAN’s POV.I jolt out of bed as the dreams continue to haunt me, making all my bones shake and my body begging to be released from the shackles of the nightmares that keeps me awake most nights.“Master” a voice calls out from the dark as the light flickers on and Brown makes his way towards me with a cup of tea, this is the only thing he can offer by the way. At least, his tea helps me to calm down from all the intrusive thoughts I always have.“I thought you would be asleep by now” I say to him while collecting the cup from him, “you shouldn’t be doing this every night Brown, you are getting old and tired.“I am the only one who can do this for you master” he replies, “not one person in aqua blade knows how you are feeling or what goes through your mind every day, I am the only one who can actually see through the facade you put up every day”I heave a sigh and lean back on the headboard, my mind still beating fast and fast as the thoughts of the nightmare fills my head again.“I
I didn’t even bother to go back to my room after Amira trained for a while and left. I sat in the training ground until this morning and just as I closed my eyes to get a minute wave of sleep, someone walks towards me and taps my shoulder lightly.I immediately throw my eyes open and launch my sword at the intruder, silver is fast enough to dodge it or he might have become a corpse on the floor.“It is I” master” he says immediately, “Forgive me for coming at you like this master” he adds and i heave a sigh.“Tell me” I inquire, “We are ready to set out master” Ace answers, “we want to be back by nightfall” he further explains and I nod.“Very well then, make sure to do a good job”“Of course master” they both bow and make to go and this is when Amira rushes out of the room and towards us, she is fully dressed and I can already guess what she is trying to do.“Master, can I go with them?” She asks me and I squint my eyes.“You can not come with us, Amira” Ace responds, “it is not sui
The day promises to be bright as I open my eyes gently and a little yawn resonates from my mouth, the sun is peeking through the window and leaving a bright spot on the walls, something that makes my lips curve into a fulfilled smile.The thought of being by Derrick’s side makes me so happy. Finally, I am about to get the job done even if I still have Katana hot on my trail but with the plan I have diverged, tackling her is going to be so easy.With the thought of that at the back of my head, I quickly jump down from the bed and make my way into the bathroom. I want to actually look my absolute best today, the sooner I finish, the better for me.After I am done from the bathroom, I open the wooden closet and I can't help but smirk a little, the red dress is still hanging in looking as pretty as I had seen it before.“Pretty” I mutter under my breath as I bring it out. In no time, I am already all dressed up and ready to start my day.The gown is bare to the shoulders revealing a pair
The moment Derrick say those words, I feel my heart jump into my mouth. How is he able to sniff out our insecurities and with the way his eyes are lingering on me, I feel like he knows something but he is trying to hide it so well.The more I think about it, the more I just want to finish him off quickly and go home.“I am all ears” his voice resonates round the room again as he tears his eyes away from me and focuses them on silver and Ace, “I am sure what you want to say is very important”“Of course Lycan king” it is Ace who speaks up, “we only came here because the Darkshadow pack told us that you are the only one who can help us, after their alpha was killed”The look on Derrick’s face changes and he gestures for me to leave which is somewhat disappointing, he doesn’t want me to hear what they have to say to him, I badly want to be there.“I will just be outside the door, master” I manage to answer and just before any of them can say anything, I hastily walk out of the room but
ATHAN’s POV.“Master” Amira rushes into my study, she is panting and looking confused which makes my forehead crease into a frown.“What happened?” I ask not bothering to climb out of bed, “why do you look so scared?”“Master, someone is here to see you and judging from the what the others are saying, it seems he came with Imogen”My eyes darken at the mention to her name, Imogen? Why will she be here?Not bothering to wait further, I grab my robe and venture out of the room into the large hall. It is not a lie, there she is standing beside the Lycan king and my two most trusted assassins behind them.I can’t help but clench my hand into a fist, how dare he come into my territory?“Athan” my name rolls out of his lips but my attention is not even on him, my eyes are on her the whole time. She is looking a bit skinner and sad, a lot must be going on with her.“To what do I owe this visit?” I finally speak up, my attention still on imogen who has refused to look me in the eye. I can fe
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
