IMOGEN’s POV.Never in my life did I ever think I was going to be in the position I was in a while back. All my life, I have only wanted only one man to be the one to touch me and now, not only did he touch me, he made me do things I didn’t want to do. The more I think about it, the more disgusted I feel with myself.Master only sent me here to get the job done and I am allowing a random Lycan king to touch me. I hate myself and I don’t know for how long I am going to live with the guilt and how I am going to face master Athan when I see him again.My train of thought is interrupted when someone taps me from behind and I turn to see the lady from earlier, she has a sleazy smile on her face which annoys and irks me the most. “What do you want?” I can’t even hide the disgust in my voice.“It seems you are master Derrick’s new plaything” she responds as the smirk on her face intensifies, “i didn’t know that was your plan all along”“Plaything?” I can’t help but scoff, “and who told yo
DERRICK’s POVI don’t why but there is something different about this girl Imogen. The aura emanating from her is much more different than any dormant wolf I have encountered before. Her fearlessness makes her different from the rest of the people. The more I think about it, the more I want to know what exactly goes on in her mind. I want to keep her by my side, I want to know what she is capable of doing and what I can use her to achieve.The happy sensation that appeared on her face when I told Katana to release her is much deeper than I can even fathom, it is like her life is dependent on all of it.My thoughts are interrupted when I feel like someone is coming behind me and when I turn, I see Katana coming towards me and she has a sour expression on her face.I understand from the beginning that she doesn’t like Imogen and I don’t like her either but I make the rules around here because I am the king and they are my subordinates.“Master” she bows lightly while replacing her dagge
ATHAN’s POV.My door slowly creek opens and Brown enters before walking up to my bed and he hands me a cup of tea. It is just a few minutes to the appearance of the moon and I can already feel a kind of energy around me.Being the only descendant of the moon goddess, I am not without my own demons. The more the time approaches, the more I can feel it around me, my demons trying to crawl out of their hiding places but I am not allowed to let that happen. At least, not yet.“Master” Brown bows gently as he hands me the cup of tea, “I am sure you will be needing this” he adds with a smile playing across his lips.“You don’t even look scared, Brown” I tell him, “aren’t you afraid that I may hurt you in a few minutes?”The smirk continues to linger while he drops the tray on the bedside table before lowering himself on the space beside the mw.“Any other person can hurt me master but not you”I scoff, Is he being serious right now?“You are overly trusting of me, brown”“Of course” the ol
IMOGEN’s POV.Everything was so overwhelming for me that the moment I step out of Derrick’s room, I can already hear the howls of some wolf in the distance, I am guessing things went as planned.Still in my revirie of thought, I make my way towards the large stairs when someone calls my name from behind and i turn to see Zeth coming behind me. He doesn’t look pleased at all and I can feel anger and rage emanating from his being.Dressed in a pair of white long robe and his hair pulled back in a neat bun, Zeth looks like he is about to devour me or even send my whole being into oblivion.With each stride he takes towards me, the aura around him become stronger and stronger, it seems like he is a different person with each step he takes.“Imogen” his name rolls out of his lips like the sound of a thousand oceans, he is just as scary as Derrick. Why must all the men I have encountered in life be this scary and unapproachable?“Zeth” I also call out his name while trying to sound as natur
The moment I step out into the training room, I am dumbfounded to see master Derrick sitting at the other end and he has an expressionless look on his face. I am not sure why he is here but one thing is for sure, he is here to watch me train.With a sigh escaping my lips, I walk up to him and now gently.“Master” I greet, “I didn’t know you will be here to watch me train personally”“Don’t flatter yourself, Imogen” he snarls, “I am not here to give you emotional support”I can see a few people’s lips curl into a mocking smile but I don’t say anything, I am not here because of any of them.Dressed in a pair of black robe and his hair pulled back in a bun, Derrick looks stunning with the way he always dresses up but compared to my mate, he is nothing.“Let’s see what you have in you, Imogen” Katana growls in rage while pulling out her dagger, “you should be prepared for the task if you want to stay by the master’s side”A silent murmur went up from the crowd and I can see a few of them j
“Master?” I allow his name to roll out of my lips, I wasn’t expecting to see him here and in such a way. How did he even enter the nightshade pack without being noticed?“Imogen” his deep voice filters into my ear and I can’t help but gulp a little, how is he so beautiful even in the midst of all this?He is dressed in a pair of black robe as usual and the aura emanating from him is different, it feels like he is a whole different person all together.“Master Athan” I call out his name again, “how come you are here?”“You are wasting time, imogen” master replies as he moves closer to me and gently cup my neck, “you have wasted a lot of time and I am afraid, I should end your life at this point”His grip on my neck tightens and I groan in pain a little, I can feel his hot breath on my face and for a moment, I have the inkling to kiss him on the lips but I can’t, I can’t even touch him.“Master…” I manage to call out to him, “I am making enough progress, I am….”“What progress have you
ATHAN’s POV.I slowly open my eyes as I stretch on the bed gently, practising detachment from my body is actually not as hard as I thought. Maybe it is because I have the goddess pure blood running through my veins or it is because of my own natural powers but all in all……The look on my face changes when I remember Imogen and how I badly want to pierce a dagger through her body. Not only is she a stubborn one, she is also incompetent.“Fool” I mutter under my breath as I climb down from the bed before grabbing my robe.My door fling open and my usual visitor enters with his usual tray which makes me almost roll my eyes.“Your tea is here, master,” Brown announces.“I am not in the mood for tea today, Brown” I tell him, “you should take it away” I further add while throwing the robe over my bare chest, “I have a lot of things to do and I will get going”Not sparing him another glance, I walk out of the room and make my way towards the courtyard. Everyone is already gathered there and
After a few seconds, I hear footsteps behind me and I turn to see silver and Ace hastily making their way towards me. They didn’t even ask any questions as they both start to clean up the mess while I stand up. It is a pity that he had to mess with me and the things that concern me.“Send his body back to his pack and deliver my message, I killed their alpha and now, they are under my command. Do you hear me?”“Yes master” the two of them answer in unison. With that, I turn on my heel and walk towards my chambers, my eyes catch Nara training in the courtyard and my lips curl into a smile while Amira is seated, an orange gracing her hands. Her courage reminds me of a certain someone, someone who is relentless and doesn’t know the meaning of failure. Imogen is much more than she can even imagine but she brought her doom to herself, she would have not done that.After looking at her for a while, I walk back into my chambers and slump on my bed, Imogen’s thoughts continue to linger i
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
