"Then, Alpha Loki Blackwood, I, Arianna Terrence, reject you as my mate and break the mating bond." Loki’s wolf howled in agony, but rejecting fate doesn’t mean escaping it. Arianna had her future planned until one touch shattered everything. At her engagement party, she feels an irresistible pull toward a mysterious man… only to discover he’s Loki, her fiancé’s best friend and her fated mate. Forced into a realm of danger and desire, Arianna must choose: the man she promised or the one destiny demands. But when secrets unravel, will her rejection save her or doom her forever?
View MoreSage was back in his room, trying to get the thought of what had just happened out of his mind when he suddenly remembered the reason why he had gone to Arianna's room in the first place.He decided not to go back immediately as there would still be some level of awkwardness, but what he left in her room was far more important. So he took a deep breath and left his room, heading for hers.He got to her room and saw Mabel standing outside the door."Alpha!" She called, startled, but he just ignored her—he always did.He wanted to push the door open and go into the room, but what had happened previously instantly changed his mind, so he knocked instead."Come in." He heard Arianna's voice say from within the room, so he went in and closed the door behind him."You again? What are you doing here this time?" She questioned and then bit her tongue for speaking on impulse. She mentally face-palmed herself for not being able to control what she said. She was so used to speaking freely that h
Though with great difficulty, Arianna was able to take a bath and even brush her teeth. After wrapping a towel around her body and her wet hair, Mabel helped her back onto the wheelchair and rolled her back to the bed, onto which she equally helped her as well.The real problem came when Arianna realized that she didn't have any clothes to wear because, once again, she'd been kidnapped. It was starting to seem like she was kidnapping material, and it would have been funny if not for the fact that she was the one involved."I don't have any clothes to wear," Arianna notified Mabel."Oh, right. I didn't think of that. I guess I'll just get you some of mine," Mabel said and left to get some of her clothes.Meanwhile, Arianna commenced towel-drying her body, not realizing that Mabel had not fully closed the door, leaving it only slightly open.Sage strolled into the room, pushing open the door effortlessly, definitely not prepared for what he was about to see. And since it was already hal
Loki's green eyes fluttered open when he felt something on his face. He blinked repeatedly before his vision cleared, and then he saw Freya's hand on his face as she stared at him lovingly.He got up quickly, nearly falling from his chair as he grabbed her hand in his. "Freya, you're awake. Thanks to Goddess Diana." He said and kissed her hand, but she shushed him."Lie back down and please don't say a word. It's been such a long time since I last saw you sleep; I didn’t want to wake you because you looked so peaceful.I can see how tired and weary you really are. First because of Arianna's disappearance and now mostly because of me. I wouldn't mind dying this minute, just as long as you're alright." Freya said, and it was soon Loki's turn to shush."Please don't say that, you're not gonna die. No one is going to die. I'm just glad to see that you're OK, nothing else matters now." He assured her with a smile and hugged her gently.Just then, Lilith walked in with a tray in her hands.
Arianna's eyes flew open when she felt a sudden pang of pain shoot through her. She flinched and tried to sit up so she could get a glimpse of what was going on.The sound of Sage's sharp voice stopped her midway. "Stop. Stay still, or you'll hurt yourself," she heard him say, and she instantly snapped her head in the direction of the voice.He avoided her eyes for some reason as he examined the extent of the damage on her leg. Now that his anger wasn't present, just looking at what he had done to the innocent girl, he felt like a monster, and guilt finally started to wash over him. He knew he ought to apologize, but his pride wouldn't let him, so he would try to make it up to her instead."Doctor," he called, and the doctor came forward to take a look at the damage done so she'd know the correct treatment to administer."Thank the goddess, she's only suffered second-degree burns. There's only redness, swelling, and blistering, so she doesn't need serious treatment," the doctor said,
Sage couldn't sleep properly; he turned continuously on his bed as the same nightmare that had haunted his dreams for eight years surfaced once more. But this time, it was so much more different that it was totally unexpected.In his dream, he didn't see Nathalie being dragged away like he always did. Instead, he saw someone else.On a closer look, he saw it was Loki's human mate. He tried hard to recall her name but couldn't. She was being dragged away, and she had a pained look in her eyes. He didn't attempt to do anything to save her, just stood there and watched as she disappeared from sight.Suddenly, he saw Nathalie in front of him, and she seemed to be very angry. "Nathalie, my love," he called and rushed to grab her in a hug, but she put her hand forward, stopping him in the process."Don't call me that. You've failed me," she said, and he looked down, feeling guilty once more."I'm really sorry, Nathalie. I'm sorry for being so weak at that time. I'm sorry that I couldn't sav
Doctor Rose had arrived quickly and managed to stabilize Freya's condition, but she was still yet to wake up despite the doctor's promise that she would soon. Loki’s head was a mess, and he couldn't even think properly.It was well into the night, but Loki had not even closed his eyes once. Lilith had been with him for a while, but she had eventually retired to her room to get some sleep, and he could understand. She advised that he do the same, but he couldn't bring himself to even think of sleeping while his mother was in such a condition.He hadn't been fully able to grasp the thought of Arianna's betrayal, and now he had to deal with Freya's deteriorating health.As he sat beside Freya's bed and held her hand, he was filled with so many emotions, not knowing how to react. The events of the past few hours had been such a hard blow that they had managed to break him down so suddenly. He had been through so much in his life, but he didn't know if he would ever be able to recover from
Loki returned back with a heavy heart. He walked into the palace silently, and Freya tried to ask him of Arianna's whereabouts, but he said nothing because he couldn't comprehend what was going on as well. She wanted to follow him but decided against it, knowing that he needed some time to himself. Even in the midst of confusion and hurt, the best antidote was usually some alone time, so as to be able to think things through.He walked to his room and sat heavily on his bed, a lot of things going through his mind. The fact that he could no longer connect with her telepathically for some reason was more worrisome than it should have been.Where could she have gone? Why had he been feeling so restless? Was that letter authentic? Why did he trace her scent to the Black Solstice pack, but he still couldn't find her in the end? None of it made any sense.Loki instantly felt a terrible ache in his head and brought his hand to his temple, rubbing it tiredly.Just then, Lilith walked into the
Arianna blinked repeatedly, trying to see through the wet liquid on her face. She wiped the water away from her face and her gaze fell on Sage who had on his signature steel gaze."I see that you're very stubborn, human. I specifically warned you not to try to escape but you blatantly disobeyed me." He started and Adlrianna fought the urge to glare."I have a name, and it's Adrianna." She corrected, she was definitely sick and tired of all of this. What right did he have to treat her like this?"You're also a loud mouth as well andseems you don't know your place. I'll be very glad to teach you then." He said and before she could process his words, he grabbed both of her hands and raised them up, bringing them above her head.He called to one of the maids and ordered her to bring him some rope and that's when the fear slowly began to creep into Arianna. She shook her head vigorously."No. What are you going to do?" She asked, alarmed but he didn't bother replying to her. The maid quic
Arianna fought hard, trying her best to escape from the tight grip around her body and remove the hand preventing her from calling out to her beloved.Sage saw Arianna's relentless behavior and knew that it would not be too long before she would be able to break free, so he sent an instruction to his guard secretly, with just a nod of the head.The guard quickly understood his Alpha's instructions and nodded back.Mason, the guard, released his hand from her body but kept the other hand firmly on her mouth. Arianna saw this as an opportunity and struggled some more, but little did she know that her efforts would come to naught soon.Mason interlocked the fingers of his free hand, making it into a cup shape. He brought it to her neck and after feeling for the wind pool point, which was a powerful pressure point, he hit it with light precision, knocking her out instantly.Arianna didn't have time to think as she instantly lost consciousness in barely a second. Mason caught her body quic
