Micah's POVI have been staring up at the ceiling for over an hour, lost in my thoughts. Here I was, thinking I would be out the moment my head lays on the bed but that just don't want to happen. Even after I took a hot relaxing bath.I sighed and ran my palm across my face and then rolled on my right side. A knock sounded on the door and I furrowed my brows, wondering who it might be.With bare feet on the wooden floor, I sauntered to it and pulled it ajar to see who it was.A man dressed in armored scales was at the other side of the door. His eyes met mine and then trailed down to my naked chest. His brown eyes wide at the black vein lines that was spread over my chest.He took in a shaky breath and quickly bowed his head and I nodded even though he couldn't see me."The King Hayden has requested your presences" He said with an uneven voice and I scowled."I will be there in a few minutes" I told him and he bowed once more then turned around facing the hallway.I closed the door an
Lovett's POVThere wasn't a word to describe how furious I was as I stomped towards the bald man. Tolu was behind me as she tried to stop me by grabbing my arm but I jerked it out. There was nothing that could stop me at this moment.The man noticed me coming and removed his lips from a sobbing Fallon's neck but his hand was still rested on her thigh.Before getting could utter a word, I swing my hand back and punched him with all the force I could muster. He stumbled back with a cry and covered his bleeding nose."Stupid bitch! You punched me!" He screamed like a baby, looking at his bloody hands and everyone turned to look at the commotionI hissed at his and grabbed Fallon's hand. She looked at me with wide puffy eyes, eyes that looked scared but also filled with amazement. "Let's go" I mumbled.We haven't even moved a step when a hand landed on my shoulder and harshly turned me around."You're going to pay for that bitch." He spat but before he could raise his hand to slap me, I r
Micah's POVThis whole journey was a waste of time.I wasted no time in leaving the Dragon's Kingdom with my men. If Hayden thinks I would bring my mate to him then he was fucking wrong.We all ran through the dark trees back to the Castle. I made sure I was on alert just in case we get ambushed again.I made sure to tell my men that we wouldn't be stopping anytime soon, not even to take a shit. It took us four days to get to the high mountains and I plan on making it back to my Castle in less than that.I need to see my mate. I missed her so damn much."Sire! Watch out!" One of my men said through mindlink but before I could stop, I went rolling down a rocky high.I groaned from the pain of the rock hitting my side and coughed when I breath in the dust from thr fall.How did I not realized that there was a cliff?! I was so fucking alert and made sure that each steps I take was calculated and sure.I shook my fur and huffed in annoyance. Every minute I stay here is a waste of my time.
Micah's POVI slowly blinked my eyes, trying to adjust it to the blinding light around me. When I finally opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the blue sky with birds flying around."You're finally awake" said a feminine voice and I jerked up in a sitting position and looked around me.I was on an island, at the edge of the Ocean surrounded by women, beautiful women with their breast in display and all had dark silky hair and a tail. A freaking tail."Where am I? Who are you?" I asked them, then started coughing.They all looked at each other and one crawled to the older woman closer to me and whispered in her ear."Arista, I don't think it worked" "What didn't work?" I tried asking and moving my legs but it felt like a ton of bricks have been placed on it."Of course it Will!" Arista snapped. "It just needs more time. Danna wouldn't betray us"Danna? The high priestess?But before I could say a word, she sprinkled a powder on my face and I feel... Into deep water with vines wra
Lovette's POV I stood at the top of the stairs looking down at the men as they got ready to leave the castle in search of my mate for the ninth time in two months. There was a single horse among the men, and I knew who it was meant for. I could hear footsteps, and without looking back, I already knew who it was and my mouth formed a thin line. "A shame you won't be able to join us in search of your mate," Devina said. I turned my head to the side for a brief glance and scoffed when I saw a sly smirk on her red lips. Devina had a green cloak over her brown shirt and black trousers. "I don't need to," I muttered, even though deep down, I was dying to go. not only to look for the missing king, but also to see what lay beyond the palace walls. finally fulfill one of my greatest wishes. "Of course you don't!" Devina snickered. With a flip of her cap, she walked down the stairs to the men. A man was waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs and took the bag that was on her shoulder
Micah's POV "You look so beautiful with your stomach filled with my babies, my love," I mumbled into the dark silky hair of one of my women, Lorelei, as I kept rubbing from her swollen stomach down to her scales. "That tickles Micah." She giggled, and I couldn't help but smile. A groan came from behind me and an arm wrapped around my waist, "Ugh, shut up." "I'm trying to sleep," Linda muttered, placing the tip of her red tail on my legs. I turned around and lay on my back with my arms folded across my chest. How could I not love this woman? They are the reason why I am still alive. Arista told me that she found me at the bottom of the ocean, wounded and on the verge of death, and she saved my life. Although I have no single recollection of my memories, I know that I and the women are of different species. I was of the land and they were of the sea, but that still wouldn't make me leave them. I love them dearly. After a few minutes of silence and thinking, I slowly got up from
Lovette’s POV:I bit my lip as I remembered Micah’s words. “I love you my little wolf.” I smiled as I massaged my scalp with the shampoo, releasing a sigh as the spring water felt nice against my skin.It had been over two weeks since the war ended, and although it was over, Micah hadn’t come back to the castle since he and my brother were still taking care of the Dannas kingdom.Hands wrapped around me, and I raised my head out of the water, gasping and trying to push whoever it was away.“Shhhh. It’s just me,” he whispered.I paused as his hot breath hit my neck, sending shivers down my spine. “Micah,” I breathed out, spinning around to look at his face.“You’re back,” I grinned, and he cupped my face with his right hand.“I missed you,” he mumbled, his lips landing on the side of my jaw, and his other hand pulling me closer to him.I wrapped my hands around his neck and my legs around his hips. I bit my lip as I looked at his face, and he smirked, walking us to the edge of the pool
Micah’s POV“I choose him,” Lovette said, and my heart filled with love. Danna hissed, and the red snake wrapped around her crawled into her mouth, transforming her into a massive red snake.“Stupid girl!” Danna hissed, slamming her tail on the floor. I pulled Lovette behind me, trying to protect her.Drawing my sword, I aimed it at Danna, who only laughed. “You think you can defeat me?” she questioned. I had already shifted between wolf and man, enhancing my senses.I growled, baring my teeth. “We’ll see about that.”“Oh, how I’ve longed for this,” Danna hissed, her scales scraping across the muddy floor. “How king I have dreamed of destroying everything you and everything your father once loved,” she added, her voice laced with venom.Lovette held on to me, shaking with fear. I turned to her and whispered, “Run.”I placed the sword on my hips and shifted into my wolf, my eyes piercing gold. Before I could react, Danna’s massive body coiled around me, slamming me against the wall an
Micah's POVI stood at the top of a hill with my armor on, next to Hayden. We looked down at the Witches' kingdom that would soon crumble to the ground. I turned to Hayden and tapped him on the shoulder. "It's time."It was nighttime, which gave us an advantage against our enemies. We could see at night, but they couldn't. I turned around to my men, who were ready to fight, and spoke with my head held high."My brothers, today we fight not just for ourselves, but for our entire Kingdom," I declared, my golden eyes flashing with determination. "We will show these witches that our strength and courage cannot be matched and that our loyalty to each other and our land will never falter." I paused, looking at each of their determined faces. I took a deep breath and glanced at Hayden.They all roared in agreement, their spirits lifted, and my confidence unwavering. "We all know the plan, and together, we fight and we win!"They all raised their weapons in a salute to me, and with a fierce h
Micah's POV:The door to the meeting room swung open when the guards saw me. I could feel their wolves submitting fully to me, while mine puffed his chest in pride. My beta and the other war planners were all seated, and immediately stood up when they noticed my presence in the room.I took a seat at the head of the table, my hands curling around the handle, and released a deep sigh as I looked at the men in the room. My eyes landed on Leonardo, whose gaze would not move from me, but before I could speak up, my Beta did.“Alpha King,” he started, drawing my attention towards him. “What are we to do about our enemies? They keep attacking the small packs.”The others began to murmur in agreement, and I stared at them blankly. “If you think I am going to do nothing about it, then why am I seated here?”The room went silent, and the Head of the Guards cleared his throat and turned to me. “We do not doubt you, Sire, but the people are scared.”“He is right, Sire,” Andrea spoke up, her voic
Lovette's POVI and Micah were ready to leave Hayden's kingdom. I opened the door, and Hayden was standing there. "Hayden..." I said his name with a smile, which he returned."I'll miss you." He said, his lips turning down, and I couldn't help but rush into his arms for a hug. "I will see you soon, brother," I mumbled, breaking the hug, and Hayden chuckled.Micah soon joined us, his right hand wrapping around my waist, and his gaze upon me."Micah." My mate turned to look at my brother, and they both looked at each other for a while before Micah chuckled.They shook hands, and Micah spoke up. "Once I get to my castle, I will send you the plans on the war. This is our battle to fight, Hayden."Hayden nodded once more, and I grabbed my mate's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, then turned to Hayden. "Be safe," he mumbled, and I smiled at him. "I will."The gates of the castle were open, and when we were outside, Micah turned to look at me. "You will ride my back."I couldn't help but bl
Micah's POVI jumped out of my seat with a sneer. Lovette grasped my hand with fear in her eyes as the walls shook again."Micah…" she whispered my name, and I bent a little and cupped her cheeks in mine."I'll protect you," I said to her and placed a kiss on her lips.I followed Hayden out of the room and asked him what was going on."The Witches are outside the castle trying to bring it down. Turns out they have destroyed a few of my villages too," he growled, and I scoffed."Been there."Guards were moving all about the halls, and the others kept running for their lives."What do we do now?" I questioned as we stopped behind the closed door that was beginning to break off.Hayden's guards had already gathered behind us, and he turned his head to look me in the eye. "Help me protect my castle."I smirked as I felt my wolf's excitement as we prepared to attack, but I knew better than to let her take over completely. I needed to stay in control and make sure I didn't do anything too r
MICAH'S POVHayden led us to a room where Devina quickly drew a circle with white chalk on the wooden floor. She placed candles around it, murmuring words I could not understand as she lit them up.Devina took out a cup and a knife from her bag and walked over to Hayden, who was standing next to me by the wall and kept on chanting. He nodded at her and stretched his palm towards her.She quickly made a cut on his palm and a few drops of blood entered the cup. "Step into the circle and kneel," she said to me and placed the cup and knife in front of me."Adhuc mea vox in umbra terrae audita est, sed nunc verba mea tibi salutem ferent. Per sanguinem vitae, per spiritum naturae, per arcanum potestatemque aeternam, ego te medicabo." She chanted in a loud voice and walked around the circle.I blinked, balled my hands into fists as it felt like it became hard for me to breathe. I began to gasp for air, and every inch of my body felt like lava was poured on it. I groaned and growled as the pa
MICAH'S POVI held onto Lovette’s hand while the healer tried to save her life. She wasn’t getting any better. Hayden stood by the door with a frown on his lips as he stared at his sister.I still couldn't believe that he said My mate, Lovette was his sister. Hayden left the room, and after a few minutes, he came back.“Micah,” he said my name, and I frowned as I looked at him. He is the reason my mate is on this bed, fighting for her life.It felt wrong as I left my mate's hand and followed Hayden out of the room. We stood outside the door, looking at each other, and I had my hands crossed over my chest.“I will give you my blood,” he said after a heartbeat. “Only because I know that mates can help heal each other,” he added.I frowned again. Of course, I was delighted to finally get his blood after all these months, but the only reason this was happening was because of my mate.“It doesn’t work that way, Hayden,” I muttered while tossing a strand of hair that lay sticking on my temp
MICAH'S POVI held the hand of the innocent girl, who was pretending to be Hayden's mate. It was a risky plan, but at this point, I had no other choice. I needed to find my own mate, Lovette, to bring her home and I pray that by bringing the girl to Hayden and pretending she was his mate, I could trick him into sparing my life and letting us go.As we entered the castle gates, the guards looked at us warily but didn't stop them. I felt a knot in my stomach as we walked down the halls towards Hayden's throne room. I looked around the room with a frown. Hayden and his guards were the only ones in the room.When they finally reached them, Hayden was sitting on his Throne and i looked around wondering where my mate was. "Where is my mate?" I asked him, putting on a confident front while his lips turned down. But he said nothing, instead he slowly walked towards us, his eyes locked on the girl who was now shaking in fear with her head down.Hayden watched her for a moment, his lips turned
