Nathaniel’s POVWatching things go down was crazy, I didn’t know Seff was going to be like this. I did know she was an ancient being but I didn’t know she could be consumed by darkness from a simple vampire bite. I didn’t get to talk to my mate before she disappeared and now that she was in front of me I knew there was something I had to do. I knew I had to shut Seff down again before she got our daughter killed. I wasn't sure if Seff knew what she was doing or if she was out of control. I couldn’t chance it.When she went for Soma’s mate I had to stop her, I lunged at her before she connected with Oliver. I was afraid to bite her as I have read it was a bad thing. Closing my eyes I knew it was either her or me and I didn’t care about myself anymore.Forcing her to the ground I was able to get on top of her, she was stronger than I was but I still managed to have the upper hand. I felt everyone was unsafe, but I knew this was the only way we could do this. Until we knew if there was a
Nick’s POVI had never read up on Seff and what she could do, but when I watched how she reacted to the Vampire King's bite, I thought she was going to go crazy. She killed almost everyone in the room except a few of us. I managed to dodge her claws, she was out of it and I knew this wasn't how she was supposed to be. I wanted to know if there was something I could do to help her, but I wasn't entirely sure she could come back from the darkness that she was facing. I felt powerless to help my friend, and now that her wolf was out it was a little worse than I thought.Watching her fight all the vampires and few Lycans that came in to help everyone else. I wasn't sure where I should stand, I knew I didn’t want to die and I knew Seff was unstable because of what the vampire King did to her, but I also knew she wouldn't hurt me on purpose.I watched how everything went down and how Oliver was overly protective of Soma, that is what I wanted for her. I wanted her to find someone that would
Oliver’s POVListening to what Nathaniel had to say, I knew if Soma survived this she would be without a wolf. I knew she wouldn't be a weak Luna, but I was worried she would doubt herself alongside me. But forcing Seff back into the chains was the only way we could ensure she was safe. I knew Soma would ask a lot of questions about what happened. I wasn't sure how much she would remember, I hoped she would remember everything that way it would make sense.Picking her up, and following Nathaniel out of the throne room, he lead us to another room that had a bad and everything.“This was her room when King Gideon brought her here, she may not remember this place but at least you can rest until she can go back to New York,” Nathaniel said looking at me. “In the morning I hope she is awake so we can explain what happened and hopefully get her back on the path of recovery.”“Yes I want to take her home, she needs to be around our pack. I want to officially bring her into my pack as soon as
Nathaniel’s POVI sent the doctor in again to check on Soma, I needed to talk with Oliver. I knew he wanted to get home, and I wanted to get things ready for their departure. I would send them on a private plane that way there were no questions asked and he could rest with her since it was a long trip. I was sending Nick with them, I wanted to make sure everyone is safe. With Oliver being my son-in-law I wanted to make sure his needs were met too.When I heard the door open from the hallway I knew it was Oliver, I stood up and waited for him to join me at the table.“How are you feeling?” I asked as we sat down.“Good. I mean as good as I can,” he said looking at me. “How's your mate doing?”“She’ll recover, I had to remark her and all that for the healing to happen but she is glad to be safe with us.” I smiled. “Has there been any change with Soma?”“No,” he said shaking his head. “I wish she would let me know what she is feeling or something,” he said with a sad face. I knew there w
Oliver’s POVI wasn’t sure what she was saying, so Soma had her wolf she has just locked away again. I wanted to know more about Seff and what I needed to be careful of. Seeing how she was with the whole situation the woman scared the hell out of me. I wasn’t sure if she was going to kill me because she had that rage or if it would have been an accident. I was in Nathaniel's debt for him pulling her away from me before she could do anything bad. I still wanted to love Seff but I wasn’t sure if she was capable of love and that was something I was longing for.I wanted Soma to wake up more than anything now. I want to mark and mate her so we could meet Seff and see if she still had that darkness to her. Seeing Seff opened my eyes to a lot of things, I was a dark person and I hated it. Now that I saw how worse things could be for me, I knew there was still hope that we could make this darkness that plagues both of us go away.I walked around the halls before I managed to find myself stan
Nick’s POVWalking the halls of the castle, I was going to miss this place. But I knew my new life was next to Soma and Oliver. I knew they were going to need all the help they could get because the Lycan community was hated among everyone, all thanks to Gideon. Even though people were starting to come around it was still bad. We still had to watch ourselves because they would attack us if we were alone. I still needed to get with Nathaniel and see if he was going to send anyone else with us, or if he was planning on visiting the pack lands to ensure it was safe for his daughter.She was still a Princess and unless she told her father she didn’t want the title, she would always have it. I was her protector until now, and with that, I needed to ensure we were going to be safe with his pack too.I was a little worried that his pack would be too scared of us Lycan but I knew we had to give them a chance to get to know us. I needed to get to know them as well because everything we were ta
Oliver’s POVAfter I was finished with my food, I did as Nathaniel suggested and headed out the door. I didn’t want to go far, but from the sound of things Soma wasn't going to wake up soon and I just had to deal with that. I knew taking her back home would be the best thing for everyone. I needed to let Micah know what was going on since I did promise him I would call him but with everything that happened I hadn't thought about calling him.Pulling out my phone I dialed his number.“About time you called, you had me worried.” he snapped.“I know, with everything that happened I was beaten up pretty bad and exhausted from the fighting. I just now am starting to feel myself.” I complained.“So what happened?”“Well everyone that was against us or wanting Soma is dead, her father is King again,” I said trying to hold back my emotions.“And Soma?”“I don’t know yet.” I sighed. “She is unconscious the vampire tried to turn her into a vampire and something happened with her wolf and now we
Nathaniel’s POVWhen Mary told me she was going to stop and get Oliver to come to dinner I thought that was the best idea. I know she wanted to keep reassuring him that his mate would be fine and that he wouldn't have to worry about her rejecting him. I know how he feels, I was the same way with Mary. I was afraid she was going to tell me she couldn’t love me because I was going to be King and she couldn’t handle the pressure, but she was amazing. She was the reason I took the throne seriously and I was able to get the people around me, I will always love her for that.I wanted to show Oliver that he was going to have a huge place here in the palace if he wanted to move his pack to London. I knew that was highly unlikely but it was always going to be an option for him, or if he wants to pass the pack to someone else I could use him here too.“We’re here.” Mary giggled as they walked into the dining hall. “Where do you want to start?”“Nowhere.” I giggled. “I want you and Oliver to enj
Soma’s POVFollowing Oliver to his office, I was a little nervous to speak to my father. Since I hadn’t heard his voice, it was going to be weird, but I knew we needed to speak. I was excited to invite him over to New York so he could see me become Luna. I wasn’t sure if he would have some kind of expectation about me being a Princess and if I would become Queen in the future. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to be but if it came down to it I would.“Hey, Nathaniel,” Oliver said into the phone. “I apologize for not calling sooner, with everything happening quickly I kind of lost track of time.” He said looking at her. “Soma would like to talk to you, she wants to tell you something important.” He said before handing the phone to me.“Hey, dad.”“It’s good to hear your voice, how are you feeling?” he asked.“I am better still a little weak, and I haven’t heard my wolf so I don’t know why she has still locked away,” I said with a sad tone.“Well, she will come when the time is right.” He as
Oliver’s POVWatching Soma take her store apart was painful for me too, I could see that she didn’t want to do this but she was forcing herself to do it. I wanted to stop her and tell her we should come back another day when she was ready, but I knew she was stubborn and wouldn’t let me pull her away from something she was already doing. The only thing I could do is support her and do what she needed me to do.Her spirits picked up when I told her I wanted to sell her tea at my shop. I knew it would give her something to do when she wanted to come back to the human world. I was glad Micah made friends with the owner because he did give us a break because of what happened to Soma. I knew things would be better for Soma once this was done.“I am going to start taking boxes over, I’ve called Micah to come and stay here and help with the rest of the stuff,” I spoke.“Okay, this is almost it.” She said putting the rest of the shelve she was working on in a box. “Can you see if there are an
Soma’s POVWatching Oliver freak out until I was done with my coffee and cookies was entertaining but now, I was faced with my store and my decision. I sighed getting Oliver’s attention, I knew he was going to ask me the same questions he did last night and I just had to be firm with my answers. As much as I didn’t want to give up my dream, it was the only way I knew how to let go of my past and the hurt that I faced.My adopted parents abandoned me because of this store, and that hurt almost as much as what Detective Marks had done to me. I knew they were different pains but they still hurt no matter what.“I think I am ready to go over there,” I said looking across the street.“Alright.” He said getting up. “Micah we’re going across the street, if you need something mind link me.”“Yeah, yeah.” He said waving his hand at us. He was still grossed out by the gum thing and probably annoyed because he was picking it by hand and it was fun watching his face. But we needed to get things d
Soma’s POVOpening my eyes to Oliver coming back into the room, I yawned and stretched and smiled when he sat down.“Where did you go?” I asked.“I had to talk to Micah about our plans for today.” He smiled. “You should go back to sleep; you’ve only been sleeping for a few hours.”“I know, but I want to get this over and done with and then we could come back here and I could relax a little by the lake.”“Sun bathing is always nice, just don’t do it naked.” He warned playfully.“I don’t do that!” I snapped at him; I knew he would love to watch me lay out naked but I was still shy about my body.Going to the tea store was going to be depressing, my whole dream was out the window and there wasn’t anything I could do about it. I didn’t want to shut down, but I knew it was for the best. I didn’t want Oliver stressing about me being over here alone, and honestly, I didn’t know if I could handle all the stress that came with running the store again. I knew Nick would want to come and help if
Oliver’s POVFinding out Soma woke up, part of me didn’t want to believe it because when I left her a little while ago, she didn’t seem like she wanted to wake up. I ran as fast as I could up the stairs, she was standing there with the two warriors I assigned to guard my door. My heart went into my throat, was I seeing a ghost? Was she really there? Am I going crazy? All those questions went through my head, but as soon as I touched her everything made sense, and she was awake! Remembering when she first woke up was a fresh reminder that the Moon Goddess was good and she was looking out for us, she loved me and I shouldn’t have doubted it.Watching her eat was funny, it’s like she forgot how to eat or she was overly hungry and wanting to eat as much as she could before someone took her plate away. I knew she was battling the demons inside her and there was nothing I couldn’t do about it. I was a little sad that she wanted to close her store, but I knew it was for the best. She needed
Soma’s POVI walked around the house and the yard, and I explored the shop. Oliver watched me curiously, I think he was hoping I would say something but I didn’t know what to say. He has done so much for me, I don’t even know where to begin.Finally turning to face him. “I think I want to close the tea shop, I don’t think it’s for me anymore.” I frowned. “I mean I loved my dream, but I feel like we have something bigger planned for us, and I am ready to take that step.”“Are you sure that is something you want to do?” he asked coming closer to me. “We can keep the store open, I can even send some help for you so you are not alone.”“No,” I said shaking my head. “If I don’t close the store I will regret it, and I want to be closer to home I know you want me here too.”“Well yeah of course I do, but I don’t want you to feel like you are a prisoner here because you don’t feel like you’ll be safe. We’re always going to make sure no one can hurt you, and this time I am not going to be hesi
Soma’s POVOliver and I chatted until dinner was done. I wasn't sure if I had to move, and I didn’t. Oliver made everyone move things around to be around me. I loved how he wanted me to be in charge of things, but I wasn't ready to be that person.“Did Nick ever go back to London?”“Present!” Nick exclaimed. “I heard that you finally woke up sleeping beauty,” he said kissing me on my head. “You have missed a lot maybe after dinner Oliver will allow me some time with you so we can catch up.”“Maybe not.” Oliver snapped. “She needs her rest, and so do I, she is coming with me after dinner. Tomorrow the two of you can talk and have your fun if she is strong enough,” he said looking at me. “As long as you’re okay with that.”“Of course I am.” I smiled.“So tomorrow.” Nick smiled. I knew he was hiding something, I hope it was something good. I didn’t want any bad news. Since I woke up today I have felt this calming feeling. It might be because the Moon Goddess said she would be around to e
Soma’s POVOpening my eyes, the Moon Goddess was right. I was able to see, and I wasn’t in the castle anymore. I felt better knowing Oliver managed to bring me to his packhouse. I didn’t know this room as I’d never seen it before but it smelled like Oliver did when I was around him. I wanted to go and find him, but the Moon Goddess told me to take it slow since I was in a coma for a while. My body did feel weak, but I knew that was just a small thing compared to what I would be feeling when I saw his eyes for the first time. I couldn’t wait to kiss him and feel his warmth all around me.I moved my legs to the side of the bed and slowly stood up, I felt sick to my stomach but I didn’t want to sit back down. I knew I needed to move around so I could get my energy back. I wasn't sure where Oliver would be, I hoped he would be close enough that someone would let him know I was awake. I hoped he wasn't overly stressed about me being unconscious, but I knew he loved me. I shouldn’t have dou
Soma’s POV“What are you thinking about Soma?” Seff asked, I found feel her wet nose on my leg.“I don’t know,” I admitted. I didn’t know what to think or what to feel. Why were we stuck in this place? Was it because they had to force Seff back because of how crazy she was, or was it because I needed the protection and this was the only way anyone knew how. “I am trying to figure out a way to get out of here. I felt that power again, it was for a while and then it got cold. I think it might be Oliver.”“It might be, I mean he is worried about you. I kind of could feel his wolf it’s very faint but I can feel something.” She said to sound more positive. “I don’t think we’re going to be here much longer, I feel the light coming for us. Maybe it’s the Moon Goddess coming to see us before she allows us to leave.”“She comes and sees people?” I asked.“Yeah, of course, especially those that are lost and scared. You see she wanted me to come to you when you were a baby because she knew the k
