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
Oliver’s POVAfter dinner was done, I was exhausted. I knew tomorrow was going to be stressful but I also knew it was going to be a good nice and quiet ride. I was glad that Nathaniel was giving us a private jet to ride in. I couldn’t wait for Soma to wait up in our bed so she could see she was safe. I couldn’t wait to bring my pack in and welcome her the way she was supposed to be. I still regret not doing things because of being scared she was going to run on me, but now that I see she wasn't I should have acted faster. I just didn’t think Gideon would have made a move as he did and that was something he paid for with his life. It was one thing I could say I made sure he paid well.Walking back to my room, I quickly went in and checked on Soma. It looked like she moved, but it was probably in my head.“Hi, baby,” I said kissing her on her head. “I had dinner with your family, we’re going home tomorrow. I hope you wake up when we get home.” I said climbing into bed with her. I knew I
Nick’s POVWaking up today was the day we were heading back to New York. I was a little excited and a little scared but I knew in the end of this was a new life for Soma. I knew she would probably want to keep her store, but with everything that happened, I don’t think it would be a wise thing. I know Marcus was gone, but she would still fear that he was going to take her away again. I wish I would have hurt him a little just so he knew that he pissed me off, but I am glad I didn’t react that way because it wasn't who I was.I was a little nervous to meet my mate, Mary said she was in Oliver’s pack so I would be watching everyone and hoped she loved me too. I wanted to tell Oliver about what Mary told me about my mate, but I am sure he wasn't going to be able to help me. Even if he did help me, I think my mate would probably freak out a little bit because this is overwhelming for me too. I knew she would love me, and I would do everything I could to show her my love.“Ready to go?” Ki
Soma’s POVOpening my eyes, I wasn't sure where I was. I couldn’t see anything it was like the room was dark and cold.“Hello?” I called but there was no answer. I didn’t know if I was still with King Gideon or if someone finally saved me. I was afraid since I couldn’t see anything. I still wasn't sure if it was because I was blind again or because this place was so dark. “Please is there anyone out there?”“Don't be afraid.” a woman’s voice spoke. “I am Seff, I am your wolf,” she said I could feel her getting closer to me, but I could also feel like she was taking some caution.“How?” I asked taking a deep breath. “Why can't I see you?” I said with tears threatening to come out of my eyes.“You lost your vision again,” she whispered. “I am trying to heal your eyes, but I don’t think we will be able to,” she said sadly. “With what the vampire King did to you, I almost lost you. You are still fighting for your life, you are confused and lost and I am trying to help you find your way ba
Oliver’s POVFinally got word we were about to land. I knew I needed to make sure Micah knew we were back in New York. I hoped he was already at the airport that way we can just leave here and not have to wait. I was thankful for everything that Nathaniel sent with us when we left. I had a little headache from the flight, but it could be because of all the stress from these last couple of days. I was glad that Soma was alive and okay, but I still wanted to wake her up. I thought about having our doctor look her over to see if they had any idea on how to wake her up, but like Nathaniel said she was healing and I should just wait until she woke up on her own.“Finally,” Micah said coming into view. “I thought I was going to have to send help to bring you home.” He said hugging me. “I am glad you made it home.”“Me too,” I said pulling away from him. “We weren’t gone that long, I hope you haven’t worked the pack to death.”“Close but not to death.” He grinned. “So where is our Luna?”“On
Nick’s POVFollowing Oliver off the plane, I knew what was happening was real. I was nervous to go to his pack now, I knew this was crazy. She might not even be around when we arrive, I was hoping so but I knew I had to keep focused on ensuring we protect Soma until she woke up. I wasn’t sure how his pack would react when we arrived, I was scared too because I knew they were told to avoid us, and now we’re here to stay.“Don’t worry Nick,” Oliver said coming out to the SUVs, I hadn’t moved from the spot since we arrived. Again, my nerves were getting the best of me, and I knew they shouldn’t have. I was like a lost puppy and it was pathetic. “I know you are worried about your mate, but you are also focused on Soma. Why don’t you just come to the house, relax and take a shower? We cannot help Soma she had to find her way out of her unconscious state alone. We will have to watch over her in case something happens.”“I know, I promise I will focus on her only,” I said with my eyes down.
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
