Detective Marks POVThrowing Oliver in the waiting cell was the best thing for me today. I knew arresting him would only cause him to hate me more, and that was what I wanted. I wanted to make sure he knew his place, I was going to get his little mate, and there wasn't anything he was going to do about it. I wanted to see how much I could provoke him, but I knew I had to be careful when it came to doing this in front of humans. Things could go bad here, and that was something I couldn’t afford at least not yet.“Why is Oliver Stone sitting in my cells?” Captain Asshat whined. “You know the last time he was arrested he made things worse here.”“I have some questions for him, and you know just as well as I do you want him off the streets.” I mused. “I won’t keep him long I just want him to sweat a little, I want him to know he should be afraid of the police.”“Good make sure he knows you are the reason he is here not because I wanted him brought in,” he whined at me. I hated this human
Oliver’s POVOnce I was out of the police station I mind-linked Micah. “I’m out.” I snapped, I was pissed and had a long walk to get back to the coffee shop.“Did Soma make it to you?”“What? No why?” I gritted my teeth. Now she was missing, and I wasn't sure if Detective Marks had anything to do with it.“Well she left shortly after you were arrested,” he said sounding concerned. “We followed her but with all the traffic we lost her, she was heading towards the police station.”Looking around the parking lot, I found her car. “She’s here,” I growled. “But do I go back inside or do I wait out here?”“Wait,” Micah said. “Don't worry she is strong she will walk out of the police station. I know you want to run in there but you might cause issues and get arrested for real, and we don’t want that because of the issues we already have.”“I won't do something stupid Micah, I will let you know what happens. Maybe I can even get a ride back with her as long as she isn't mad at me for everythi
Nick’s POVHearing that they arrested Oliver I wasn't too happy with this news. I knew I needed to get back to New York, but I still hadn't found Nathaniel, I needed to know more about Soma and why she was so special to everyone. Yes, I knew she was a Princess but that doesn’t explain why everyone wants a piece of her, and why I was instructed to watch over her all these years. I loved Soma, but I didn’t understand her at all. She was a supposed Lycan but no one could tell me how she wasn't able to shift or knew anything about herself. Maybe she was just a human and when I find her father he can explain things and everything will make sense.“Where the hell is you, Nathaniel,” I growled wanting to just give up and go back to New York. I knew Soma needed me and I left her like a crazy friend. I guess I wanted to solve everything, but things weren’t getting solved here. Even though Nathaniel showed up at the castle he didn’t stick around to talk to me and that pissed me off. He knew I w
Nathaniel’s POVWatching the young Lycan look for me was kind of annoying. I didn’t want to be found I wanted to get a plan together to take over my Kingdom. But I am all too curious to find out why he wants to meet with him. So I’m going to pull myself out of the dark and talk to him.“Why are you looking for me?” I asked coming out of the dark.“Nathaniel finally.” He look relieved to see me, but I didn’t trust him. I knew he worked with King Gideon so he was probably someone Gideon trusted.“I’m not going to say it again Lycan,” I growled. “Tell me why are you searching for me.”“I need answers,” he growled. Wow this kid isn't afraid of me, if only he knew who I was and what I could do to him. “About Soma.”“What about her?” I narrowed my eyes. “You’re with King Gideon I am not going to tell you anything about her,” I said taking a step towards him. “Even though you two weren’t friends at thepalace, so I’m going to throw you a bone.”“She’s in danger.” He said taking a deep breath
Soma’s POVWith Oliver leaving me, my anxiety went back up but I tried not to let it get the best of me. I put my clothes away and set up Mouse where he would be comfortable. He instantly explored the room which meant he wasn't minding the new room.I walked out to the balcony, the pack lands were nice and quiet. There were a lot of people around, but they didn’t pay attention to me which was fine. I wanted to explore but Oliver told me to stay close to the house, there had to be a reason. Or maybe he didn’t want me to get lost, which if he knew his lands he would probably be able to find me without much effort.A knock at the door startled me, I wasn't sure who was there but it had to be one of Oliver’s people. I slowly opened the door a small girl was standing there with a bowl of soup and a drink.“Alpha Oliver asked me to bring you something to eat.” she smiled but didn’t lookup. “May I come in?”“Oh yeah,” I said moving out of the way. At least I knew Oliver was thinking about me
Oliver’s POVKnowing Soma was struggling with some stuff, I knew it was going to be a little harder for her to jump into things, but it didn’t matter. I would help her any way I could and make sure she had the help she needed if there was a problem.“What are you thinking so hard about?” Micah quizzed.“Soma and everything that happened. I guess she kind of got freaked out on the whole Luna thing, she thought it would be forced on her, but in reality, we want her to want it right?”“Well yeah, you cannot force someone to do something,” Micah said leaning against a tree. “The thing I’m worried about right now is the rogue attacks, I don’t want something like this happening when we’re not here.”“Yeah, no kidding,” I said rolling my eyes. “The only thing we can do is make sure she stays close here.”“But what if things continue to happen?” he quizzed. “I mean you should think about getting her trained and see if we can help her understand some of her strengths.”“But I don’t know if she
Soma’s POVOpening the door, Oliver was standing there. I wasn't sure if there was something wrong or if he was stressed.“Hey.” I half smiled and moved out of the way so he could come into the room. I watched him walk over to the window and lookout. Now I knew something was wrong. “What’s wrong Oliver?” I asked walking behind him and touching his arm, he flinched a little but that was expected I guess.“I need you,” he said turning to face me. “Not in a sexual way,” he said shaking his head. “But I need to be close to you,” he said wrapping his arms around me and pulling me into a hug.“Tell me what’s wrong, I can tell something is wrong and I don’t like you not telling me,” I said into his chest.“Well you may have to reject me,” he said with a sad voice.“What? What are you talking about?” I asked pulling away from him. I was confused and a little scared. Was this his way of telling me that he didn’t want me anymore, tears threatened to spill out of my eyes.“Well since you are a L
Detective Marks POVWalking to my car, I knew it was going to be a good night. Tonight I would get to hunt humans with Nikolai and Wayne. I know they’ve been waiting for me for a few days but I didn’t want to meet with them if I didn’t have answers for them. I still didn’t but I figured I could make up some kind of crap and everything would shut down for a while again. I needed to get to Soma, and they were here to help me, but I didn’t want their help.My phone buzzed when I got into the car. I rolled my eyes I didn’t want to talk to the Vampire King, he was annoying especially when he was impatient. I answered the phone.“Where is the girl Marks?” he growled into the phone.“She’s with the mutts,” I growled back. “I’ve been waiting for her to come home, but it seems Oliver and his pack are protecting her.” Shifting in my seat I couldn’t wait for this conversation to end, I couldn’t wait to kill him when the time was right. I would be King.“So then we better come up with a plan to g
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
