*Omario POV*I wake up four hours after my rescue and my body feels like it’s been run over by a train. I had already lost hope and accepted my fate but here I am, given a second chance. The gorgeous face I saw before closing my eyes is the first I see. Abigail, my drop-dead gorgeous mate. Looking at her, my heart warms up and starts racing. She must have fallen asleep watching over me. Now it’s my turn to watch her. She looks so peaceful in her sleep, you would never guess the hell she’s been through. I take in her every feature, every contour and I’m blown away. Absolutely beautiful! I can’t believe that starvation hid all of this away, but maybe it was for the best. I might have managed to keep her away from dad’s friends but I definitely would not have been successful keeping her away from dad himself had she looked like this. The lustrous bastard could not keep his remarks to himself when she walked past him the day she came back.I can’t help myself but reach out and trace her
*Abi POV*When Omario kisses me, every fibre in my body awakens. His scent has me all mesmerised, I want more of him and now. As much as we both want this, we can’t proceed until our wolves are in on this too. After everything we have been through, I want us to do this right. Omario has tried talking to Titan but he is really mad and feels betrayed by Nina. Omario thinks I will have a better luck and hands him to me. An interaction with Titan is always comforting. He is stubborn and cocky when talking to Omario but all gentle and loving with me. Now that I can hear him, I think he is perfect and I am completely in love with him. Omario and Nina are not impressed when I run my hands on his fur and he groans like he always does. They feel left out and start complaining to each other. “Are they always like this?” Nina asks. “You mean getting engrossed in each other and forget that you exist?” Omario responds, amused. “Yes!”“Yah, that’s pretty much how they get.”“Well, we won’t allo
*Abi POV*OMG! This man is so perfectly sensual! I just can’t stop moaning. His every kiss, his every touch, is cooling my boiling body. I want him to touch and kiss every part of me, but he suddenly stops and I start burning again. “Omario?” I enquire when he hesitates. My legs are wide open to welcome him, yet he won’t proceed. I can even feel him emotionally drifting away from me. He breaks eye contact before asking a question that sinks my heart. “What if I am not as good as him?”I sigh, my heart starts picking up because I know exactly whom he is referring to. “What?”I understand his question but I can’t comprehend how we got here. We should be cementing our bond forever not talking about this. “I heard your moans when you were with him. Despite the pain of losing your virginity, he still made you feel ….”“Omario,” I cut him short. I only slept with Colton to get back at him. Surely, he knows this. How could he even compare himself to a human who meant nothing to me? “He
*Abi POV*I wake up to a familiar sight of my mate looking lovingly at me. “Abigail.”“Mmh?”“I am sorry.”“For what?”“For Oli, for all the stupid things I did, for hurting you.”“Okay.”We spoke about this already and I have forgiven him but I don’t think he believes me. “Really? You are not just saying that because I’m not Titan?”“You are Titan and he is you.”“You are more comfortable with him and I don’t blame you. I don’t want to change that at all, but I want to account for my mess-ups. I want you to be comfortable with me too. I don’t want to have to shift to Titan for me to get to hear what’s bothering you.”I can hear desperation in his voice and it makes me feel guilty. “I am working on it.”He smiles before I find myself pinned under his sexy body. “Come here.”“No! We can’t spend the whole week in bed. The people want to see us and we have to oversee the ceremony arrangements.”“Oh! Come on. It’s only been five days and besides, Mom and Terrence are doing a great job
*Omario POV*The ceremony goes smoothly. Mom and Terrence have really outdone themselves with the planning. To my relief, Floyd seems to be getting on well with Mom and Terrence. We have the biggest show up of guests in the history of Lily town kingdom. We have Alphas and Luna’s of packs who have never come to our kingdom before because they hated Dad’s greed and leadership. Some are here to satisfy their curiosity about my inferno Luna while others are looking for trading opportunities with us. All our servants and retired ones have also come in numbers. I have no doubt that they are here mainly for Abi. We also have, unfortunately, those who still act naive and ask me about Olivia, pissing my gorgeous mate off.Abi looks exceptionally beautiful today, I keep suppressing the possessive feeling that rises inside me when other Alphas look at her. It gets worse when we shift into our wolfs for the ceremony. Everyone gasp at the blazing Nina and all I want to do is hide her away. It’s
*Abi POV*I wake up the following morning to find Omario nowhere to be seen. Nina starts stirring up, she’s gotten too fond and attached to our mate. “He must be working,” I try to hush my agitated wolf. “It’s too early to be working!”she cries. “It’s seven o’clock, Nina.”She has no idea what time I woke up when I was a slave.“That time for our morning glory,” she says, sulking and I roll my eyes and leave our chambers. Mother Luna Nala is already having breakfast by the time I get to the dining room. I can’t help noticing how at peace she seems and it warms my heart. “Morning. Where’s Terrence?” The two of them usually have breakfast together. “He left with your man very early this morning. Come have breakfast with me,”she says warmly. This woman has a way of pulling me in. I take a seat opposite her. “Where exactly have they gone to?”She narrows her eyes at me. “Did you and Omario fight again?”I shake my head. “We didn’t. He was just not there when I woke up.”She lau
*Omario’s POV*Terrence and I are racing back to the castle. I’m still impressed at how fast he gets and I can’t shake the feeling that he actually holds himself back to let me lead. He probably knows that he is different, but I wonder if he knows who he really is. If he knows, has he told Abi about it?Thinking about Abi completely messes up my thought process. I’m addicted to that woman. I can’t wait for her to hear what we accomplished today. “I know you miss her, but you gonna at least talk to me until we get home otherwise I’m never accompanying you again,” Terrence complains. I didn’t realise that I have been quite for a long time. “Terrence, you realise that as my Beta, accompanying me is part of your job, right?” I ask but the truth is, Terrence can never in a million years be answerable to me. He is, by the virtue of what he is, the ultimate Alpha here. “Yes, but there’s three of us. You could have taken your pompous bestie.”I shake my head. He has never liked Floyd and
*Abi POV*Omario storms out, leaving me fuming. He does not get to be angry when he sent his stupid friend and ex to terrorise my friends and had her scent all over him. “I will lead by myself, I don’t need him!”“You do. You would literally die if he were to walk out for good,” my stupid wolf responds. “Shut up, Nina!”“You are jealous and it makes you nasty.”I ignore Nina and open the documents he give me. My whole ‘I don’t need him’ attitude completely shutters. He spent the whole day calculating just how much is needed to compensate my friends. Each one has the number of years, approximated hours of work they put in and the amount they are owed. It’s a thick document with over ten thousand names. I choke when I see the last pages. He made adjustments to the castle’s expenditures, cut down officials salaries and has already paid everyone without collapsing bankrupting the kingdom. My heart sinks at the reception I gave him. There is just no way he would have send Floyd and Oli
