Danika's POV.-Charles feebly pushes Christian away, coming to languidly fall against my body as I drag my feet across the floor to help him onto his bed. I'm in a state of panic, fretful with anxiety as I sit him down, shaky hands reluctant to let him go, afraid he might just pass out again."Look after him," I hear Christian say. "Call me if anything comes up."Charles, what's wrong? Christian caught him before he met the floor and in my fit of fear, I jumped into the scene. He shivered into consciousness along the way here and has been shivery. His body temperature shot up in flames and he's been panting, his eyes rolling up, trembling hands clutching his chest, and tears streaming down his face.Helplessly, I'm beginning to cry with him as I struggle to make him lie on the bed. What do I do? I don't understand."Charles, babe..." Frustratedly, I go down on my knees and hold his face wringing from agony. He refuses to lay down, agitatedly evading my influence to sit up."Please,"
Danika's POV.-"I found my son, and I'm rescuing him tomorrow."I lower my eyes to check his reaction, but he gives none, seeming weakened from his fever. While dipping my other hand into the water to check the temperature, I continue to tell him all we've refrained from sharing with him.Charles barely moves, his shoulders only rising and falling with fatigue to the slow rhythm of his breath against me."It'll happen tomorrow night, you should leave before then." It pains me to tell him that, especially with how shaken he is. I can't leave him in this emotionally distraught state. But I have to do it to avoid getting him wrapped in all this. Charles still refrains from reacting to all I've said as I help him take off his wet shirt. The skin of my fingers sizzle when they come in contact with his flaming skin. "Hey," I scoot close to him, bringing my fingers to his chin, compelling him to look at me. "Are you fine with me washing you?"That does erupt a rather enthralling reaction.
Danika's POV.-"Have you experienced a threesome before, Danika?"Three what?A harsh grip on my neck jerks my head backward with a wince hissing from my lips that gets covered by a pair of aggressive lips. Simultaneously, rough intrusive hands raid my body, coursing impatiently over my skin, sampling lecherously, kneading and punching my flesh as both horny brothers submerge me in their raging desires.The hell! Get these bastards off me! I stiffen my body, refusing to melt under their acrid heat, keeping my lips shut against Caleb's insane pressure to which he groans with displeasure, adding strength to his grip. That hurts like hell, causing me to shudder and my resistance wavers, giving him the chance to force his wicked tongue through my weak defense and tape our lips."Fuck...she's gorgeous," The younger asshole rasps lustfully, causing my body to cringe with disgust at the ravaging way he works his filthy hands across my body, now coursing towards the hook of my bra which he
Danika's POV.-"I want you."If this was any other day, I might snag this golden opportunity without wasting a breath and finally get to romp bodies with my mate and have his neck exhibiting my mark. I'd be crazy not to.However, not like this. Not when he's barely aware of what he's doing. "Charles, how about you go take a shower, hmm?" I speak to him softly, bringing my other hand over his and squeezing it."Don't you wanna..." My throat tightens painfully to hear him move those poisonous lips of his so cutely in a whiny voice. "...do it with me?"I swiftly turn around with a trembling hand clutching my chest. What the heck is with him so suddenly? I'm trying to save him from encountering the beast within me without being prepared, and there he is... effortlessly undoing my binds and stirring my hots for him.With my voice straining, I speak without daring to look at him, "Go get a shower first."Thinking he'll just fall back asleep since I've turned him down, he startles me when
Danika's POV.-Lost in the rhythm of his movements, thrusting in and pulling out of me with such exciting speed I never knew his simple frame possessed. With our bodies drenched with sweat, the laborious sound of our heavy breathing, the lovely sound of skin on skin, his moans of pleasure and pain, and my eager responses...haa, what sort of ride to heaven is this?"Haa..." A familiar jolt rakes my body and my nails dig into his back as an excessively tingling sensation begins to conjure in my core. It's building so fast, making me shake heavily as I respire from my mouth, holding him tighter as I try to contend it but...this is crazy! My head jerks back as I succumb to the overwhelming pressure, surging towards the point of eruption with my back arching, begging for more.To my joy, Charles notices and moans against my ear as he increases his pace. Closing in towards the finish line, I yelp his name and he pushes his length fully into me and my body erupts in a splendid burst of fir
Danika's POV.-Charles has been quiet since we drove away from the restaurant. I can feel his dilemma and it worries me at the prospect of what dire information he wants to share with me. Charles in a moody ambiance makes me more worrisome than usual.He makes me pensive as I enforce myself to sit still despite how badly I'm itching to just shake it out of him. Did something big happen at Ewon? Did Vyin lose any warriors in those nauseating tournaments they participate in?I'm scrunching my face to that deplorable thought that starts to settle gradually in my head when my mate pulls me out of it to hear his distraught voice."It might be my hunch, I couldn't tell Vyin about it just yet," He says, beating about and fueling my impatience. "I think Chester's been up to something shady these few months."What a killjoy. All restless energy depletes from my body and I almost hiss to that as I roll my eyes away, looking bored."What's so important about that snub? Even if he's secretly pus
Danika's POV.-The news of Chester's apprehension brings me half relief as I sigh and step away from the curtains, bringing my gaze slowly to stare at Charles in the bed. It's been a few days already, yet, his comatose state persists. All the energy I'd been brewing to rave at him once he opened those charming eyes had long gone out the window.It sickens me, I'm tired of going back home to meet those glum faces each time I return without him by my side. Chestnut's been reserved towards us and unenthusiastic about everything else. She worries me the most. I sigh deeply, averting my eyes to the door briefly before proceeding quietly to take the couch. Upon sitting, a jolt rakes through my body and my head snaps up, curious eyes on the little rustling noise issuing from where Charles is at.'He's waking up!' Violet rejoices and I sprint towards him, tears welling in my eyes as I smile gratefully, shaky hands dainty in approach. He makes painful expressions, his tired eyelids moving a
Danika's POV.-'Don't forget she's your mother's sister and, it was the doing of an Elf.'An Elf? Don't be ridiculous. I lean back with a scoff, not buying his words. Of course, I won't. I mean, I do know about the existence of the Fae folk and all- but, an Elf out here? Gibberish.'Don't dull yourself, Charles. You must've been mistaken,' I shrug nonchalantly.But the hard look entering his face jitters my smug ignorance and he speaks sternly, enunciating his words slowly, 'Danika, I know you're aware of what I'm talking about. Don't play dumb with me. There is an Elf working with them. I would never lie this brazenly to you.'Dammit, he's serious. So there's indeed a traitor supporting their vile ambition? To have also encountered my sister. It prompts me to ask a bit curiously as I make apologetic gestures to solicit for doubting him earlier."Has that elf contended my sister? Did she suffer?"Charles quickly glances at their table before meeting my gaze coolly. He speaks gently,
Danika’s POV. - Three Years Later. ~ “Ludis did what?” I gasp, pulling a chair to sit while Kashira grins deeply to affirm what he just said. I settle down and look between him and Mao before lowly asking again, “He fought with them?” “It’s not uncommon among us, you know,” Mao starts to say in a rather calm tone. “Especially among Alpha families. If there are sons and daughters, or even just a son, it’s a test the son has to carry out to determine if his sister’s mate is worthy of her.” I bite down my protest and frown. “Ludis isn’t just any wolf, he’s an Alpha male and of the heterochromatic bloodline,” I argue defensively and Kashira shrugs, “I admit all four of them were powerful and Ludis didn’t make it out without a few bruises.” “But the kid won, and the princess is his,” He cheers, munching his dish of Chow Mein. Doing well to quell my argument as I growl stubbornly and Mao smiles at me. “This is great! I haven’t been to a Chinese restaurant in ages.” “Eat up and leave,
Danika’s POV.-I’m nervous. This is the most I’ve been in years. I can’t even breathe properly. Clutching my mate’s arm, I lean against him, trembling as I try to stabilize my breath. The Faeries who’ve helped me into my bedazzling nature-enchanted gown stare at me with confidence, trying to restore my timid brave spirit as I shut my eyes for a moment.I feel his soothing palm brush over mine and his tender voice speaks to me, “Do you want to sit down for a minute and pull yourself together?” Then he takes on a sarcastic edge, “Or I can just go out there and let them know you’re not up for it.”I growl and snap my eyes open to glare at him who smirks at me, poking between my brows as he says, “Yeah, that’s it. We can start from there.”Thanks to his tease, I’m a bit annoyed and I use that emotion to shake myself out of it. Ridding the unwanted anxiety and uncertainties that latch onto my frame and heart. Grabbing the bodice of my shimmering gown, I step forward.“I’ve kept
Danika’s POV.-Taren and Emma? Wow, will you look at that? Although it might seem as if Emma’s so smitten as she fusses endlessly, running her trembling lips, blinking her eyes, nervously fiddling with her hair, and unable to tone down the heat resplendent on her face...Taren is keeping cool about it but, it’s evident that he enjoys the reaction he’s eliciting from her.I don’t want to be privy to what they’re talking about. I muster a small smile, watching them a little longer as I feel a familiar presence close in on me. When her trembling fingers try to touch her hair, Taren beats her to it, sleekly sliding his fingers against hers to tuck it behind her steaming ear. At that stunning action, their gazes meet and hold for a moment before Taren averts his to smirk a little while Emma palms her face.“She’d never let Lian hear the end of it. But here she is, acting so silly like a girl experiencing her first love.”I raise a brow at Elaine who grins at me, only to have me deb
Danika’s POV.-“You’ll sell the property?”“We’ve thought about it and that’s the conclusion we came down with.”Those voices sound familiar. I groan in my sleep, rousing sluggishly along my slow turn over. On my back with my hand rustling the sheets in search of my mate, I frown and open my eyes. I jump out of bed, pick up a random shirt from the floor, and pull into it along my exit.“Now, don’t look gloomy. It was never a home for you.”“Still, it’s where we grew up. Have a rethink, Christian. You’re making a hasty decision.”Found him. Wearing a gummy smile, I embrace him from behind, pressing against his bare back and snaking my arms around his waist as I drag my forehead up to his shoulder. He probably sensed me coming, that’s why I don’t elicit much of a reaction from him. I want to place my head on his shoulder but find Liam staring at me with heavy drowsy eyes.“Why you this little...” I whisper at him and his hazy eyes clear to revive a grin. Liam pecks my nose
Danika’s POV.-Why’s she with the Elf? How did she get here so fast? Puzzled, I walk towards them. Aunt Sue raises the Elf’s head onto her thighs and stares at him with a form of sadness I don’t understand. I watch them with scrutiny, how the Elf barely moves with his breath fading fast while Aunt Sue takes his numb hand in hers.“Sue...” He rasps, his voice almost just air. But she hears him, and so do I as I keep away. “...I’m sorry I couldn’t...go back to you...properly...”The little life force inside of him disappears after he says that. Aunt Sue hugs his head to her chest, trembling softly as she mutters in a shaky voice, “The times you did...they reached me.”‘Seems like they had something going on in the past,’ Violate ponders while I just stare at her as she slides her palm over his eyes to shut his eyelids. She gently guides his head off her thighs to settle on the floor as if he’s only sleeping.“Every sinner deserves even one person to mourn them.”I push forw
Danika’s POV.-“It’s a pity that her daughters inherited everything about her.”The splitting sound of a gunshot suddenly rings out. In a flash, Elizabeth and Chestnut fall over the handrail and Grandma Bo breathes her last. Shock stuns me in place, with eyes spreading wider each slowly ticking second as I remain numb and unperceptive for a moment.“Watch them die.”It all rushes back into me in an instant. The ravenous and black rage that consumed me before, sets my being ablaze in a breath. I leap over the handrail, going after them. I don’t see Chestnut. Elizabeth is still in her bind and I catch her when she’s just an inch from the floor.“Your Highness! This is the worst to have happened.” I hold my sister close, barely succeeding at holding my rage to force a turn around so I can see Tara and my mate. I see Chestnut is with my mate and I hand over Elizabeth to them.“You all should leave...help Yi Wen...and get the Tuyens out of here,” I manage to growl, the last r
Danika’s POV.-Poof! The head my maw should’ve crushed to pieces explodes into ashen fairy dust. I fall back swiftly and shake my head to rid of the cloud. Only to growl ever nefariously at the face of my grinning enemy standing across from me – with the stolen Grimoire in hand.“Heh, think you’d get me so easy?” He grins diabolically, intentionally hinting at the large black voluminous book in his hand. “I commend your prowess for making it this far, but this is as far as you-”Cut to the chase already. I ain’t got time for pointless blabbering!I’m onto him with a breath, working my maw aggressively, pounding my hefty paws here and there, breaking the floor and sending tremors through the walls- it’s now it comes to me. This is no longer the haunted maze. We’re inside the Tuyen’s mansion. What a sneaky game indeed.I snag him with a swing of my left paw, smacking the side of his head to send him smashing through a wall. The result isn’t gratifying, it only burns my fury
Danika’s POV.-“Danika, hey, slow down. You’re not thinking of rushing off, are you?” Taren questions behind me as we sprint back to the car. “Persuading me won’t work, Taren,” I cut him off coldly. “You heard that thing as clearly as I did.”We get to the car and I briefly turn to face him as I drop rustily, barely keeping my tumultuous rage in check so I don’t snap at him, “I don’t need your help to go save them.”I grab the handle and yank the driver’s door open, zeroing my smoldering orbs on my mate as I give the command, “Move over to the passenger seat.”They all regard me with surprise, Charles blinking at me like I’m someone else. He frowns and attempts to challenge me, only to flinch at the realization of something and lean worriedly towards me. “Is something wrong? Why do you look so angry?”“We’re only wasting valuable time,” I swat his concern aside and use my ability to make the shift happen. I snatch control of the steering wheel, startling my sister to prote
Danika’s POV. - My muscles still hurt from the intensive training I just concluded. I’m so sweaty, it’s making my clothes feel uncomfortable. I cringe at the reek of heat oozing from my body as I enter the Pack House with my mate behind me. It’s hard not to inhale the stench, and it’s driving me crazy. “Sparing with Alpha Vyin and Ludis for over three hours sure is taking its toll,” I grumble with a crumpled face. I toss my face aside as if I can detach my soul from my body, inadvertently robbing myself of sensing where I’m heading. That’s when my right foot bumps into something and my body lurches forward with a yelp. “If you were going to become this grumpy, you shouldn’t have chosen to spar in both wolf and human forms.” I cringe pathetically at the flat tone of my mate who’s saved me with an arm around my waist. “We don’t have much time,” He begins to say after helping me straighten up. “You go freshen up, in the meantime, I’ll go get the kids.” It’s day four already, and to
