Soma’s POVOpening my eyes I wasn't sure what to expect. I was a little scared, but I knew I was still with Detective Marks. My hands were bound over my head, I was in the corner.“Finally.” Detective Marks said walking closer to me. “I thought you were never going to wake up.”“Well, I wish I didn’t,” I said without looking at him. “Let me go!”“In due time, we’re going to visit the Lycan King and demand him to stop the killing of us, and we need you to help with that,” he said kneeling next to me.I was beginning to think this was all a joke, and someone I knew was going to come out of the dark and tell me they loved how I reacted, but the seriousness on his face told me, I was reading the situation wrong.“I don’t know what you’re on about, but I cannot help you,” I said swallowing hard. “I don’t even know anyone here in New York let alone a Lycan King.”“Oh, but he knows you well. Your friend has been protecting you for a long time, and now that he is out of the way I am here to e
Oliver’s POVFinding Soma was safe at the hospital, I relaxed a little. However, Drew was going crazy because he wanted to be there with her. I knew that would be a bad idea, and it would make her think we had something to do with this.I needed to wait until her friend came back and tells me what is happening. I hoped she doesn’t think I was a part of this and told the police who did this to her. I knew it was Marks, but I couldn’t prove it as there was nothing in the cabin that gave away who it was. Still, I needed to figure out how to get him to admit to it, and hopefully, he will be locked away in a garlic chamber and killed slowly, but that was only wishful thinking.“Don't worry Oliver she is fine,” Micah said coming into the office.“You don’t know that, and you don’t know what she is going through at the moment.” I snapped at him.“Well if you would have told her what and who you were this may have been avoided.” he countered.He was right, had I been honest with her and told
Soma’s POVI wasn't sure when they were going to have answers for me, but I was scared I would never be able to see them again. I wanted to tell Nick I wanted to go home, but I knew he would side with the hospital and keep me here until they were done testing me.Closing my eyes I thought about everything that happened last night, I wasn't sure who the man was or if there were others with him, but I was glad he found me and brought me to the hospital, I thought Detective Marks was going to kill me.“Good evening Soma my name is Dr. Samuel, so we’ve run all the tests we can and we cannot find out the reason you cannot see. I am hoping whatever the person used on you will wear off, but right now you are blind.”“So there is nothing you can give me to see if it will bring my vision back?” I said choking back the tears.“No sorry there isn't anything medically wrong with you, so our medicines wouldn't be wise to try,” he said clearing his throat. “We’ve notified the police and there is a
Nick’s POVSeeing Soma the way she was, I didn’t like it. I still wasn't sure what they used on her eyes to make her blind. I needed some help and wasn't sure King Gideon was going to do anything for me, not unless he gets the credit for it. I wondered what he was doing right now, probably feeding his fat face and enjoying not having to worry about being in the war.I hated having to leave her at the hospital, but I needed to speak to her mate, and that was something I hated to do. He wasn't going to be happy to know he will never be with her. Once King Gideon comes for her, she will be forced into our world and she will be forced to reject him. I hated being the person in between them, but this was how Lycan laws here, there was no room for compromise.Arriving at Soma’s store, it was dark so Detective Marks didn’t mess with it thankfully. I glanced over at the coffee shop, I could see the silhouette of someone standing near the window, I am assuming it’s Soma’s mate.Walking across
Soma’s POVOpening my eyes, I could see. I could finally see! Looking around the room, the door was closed. I owe Nick an apologize the way I acted last night. I guess I was scared and confused about what he was trying to tell me. I still didn’t believe what he said, but maybe I could give it another try and find out if he was telling me all of that last night because he didn’t want me to focus on my lost vision.Getting out of bed, I made my way to the living room Nick was sound asleep. I wanted to make him some kind of breakfast, but I figured it would wake him up. I just hoped he didn’t freak out when he saw me doing things.Pulling out the eggs and bacon, I started breakfast, it didn’t take long for him to smell it. His eyes popped open and he set up.“How are you cooking?” he questioned.“I can see,” I said looking at him, his eyes were as big as balloons.“When?”“When I woke up, so whatever they used on me wasn't supposed to last long,” I said shrugging my shoulders. I continue
Soma’s POVI wasn't entirely sure I wanted to go on a date tonight, I was already scared of Detective Marks, and it seems he and Oliver have some history. Maybe I should hear him out and see what he has to offer, I can’t keep dealing with Detective Marks and his craziness.“Are you okay?” Nick said shaking me out of my thoughts.“Yeah I am just thinking about tonight, I don’t know if it’s a good idea to go on a date after what just happened,” I said shaking my head. “I think you and Oliver can go and hang out, I just want to go home and hide.”“No Soma, you need to hear him out. He will protect you as long as you let him.” Nick said shaking his head. “I know you think you’re alone here, but you’re not.”“Yes I am Nick, Oliver can just walk away from this, and I will still have to deal with Detective Marks.”“No I think you are reading Oliver wrong, I don’t like the guy because he’s a war- he’s different, but I think you should give him a chance,” Nick said walking over to the window.
Oliver’s POVI was a little nervous about my date with Soma tonight, but Drew was happy, he promised he would behave, I just hope everything goes right. Nick wants me to tell her everything and try and get her to understand what is going on. I knew that was a bad idea, you cannot just lay everything on the table and alter someone’s whole life in a flash, but I had to at least get her started on what we are and what it means to us as a couple when we make that move.I was worried she would reject me, and that scared Drew. I knew it would make it worse than I did, but that’s because he’s already past in love with her. I had to get to know her and understand how she thought because she lived in a human world, she doesn’t even know anything about our world, and her world is about to crash down on her. That scared me too.“You nervous?” Micah asked coming into my room.“Yes and no, more worried about her not accepting us,” I said fixing my tie. “But I won't know until we’ve talked and seen
Nick’s POVWatching Soma and Oliver talk in the restaurant seemed to be going well. I hoped he was able to convince her of our world. I didn’t want to see anything bad happen to her, and I didn’t want the vampires to get a hold of her again. That scared me when Oliver called and told me they found her and she wasn't in good shape. It took everything in my power not to go to the damn vampire and kill him right then and there.“How long have you known the Luna?” Micah asked stepping next to me.“Almost her whole life, I found her after her father placed her with her adoptive parents,” I said without looking at him. I didn’t want to give too much information as I still didn’t trust these mutts.“So what's the story with her, why is she with the humans?”“I don’t think I should tell you anything about that, not until I’m sure you and her brother are true to her. She is in a dangerous place now, our King wanted me to bring her back years ago, but she refused to believe anything I said.” I
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
