Lycan King Gideon’s POVBeating Soma wasn’t what I wanted to do, but she provoked me and I had no choice. I had to show my people that not even the Queen will disrespect me, I will break her. My Lycan was still jumping around in my head, he was annoyed and pissed off at me because of what I did but I had no choice.I was glad Nick was willing to help with her. When he came to me and begged me to take him on as someone that can help me. He has helped a lot, and he will get his reward. I decided I needed to show her my kind side. It might help with getting her to do simple stuff for me, once she is broken that way then I will force her hand.Walking to her room, I heard her and Nick talking. I decided to listen to see what Nick was telling her. If he was doing what I asked him to.“What, what are you talking about?” Soma said.“I betrayed the crown. “You just haven’t figured everything out, but you will.” He paused. “Just know my death will be peaceful because you’ll get to order it.”“
Soma’s POVGetting out of the shower, I didn’t want to wear the gown but with the way he handled things earlier, my clothes were ruined. Slipping the gown over my body, it fits perfectly. Walking into the bedroom Nick was standing by the window.“You fit the part,” he said looking at me. “You look awesome in that dress.”I rolled my eyes, I didn’t care. It was only going to be for a little while and then I was going to run. I just hoped Nick wasn't stupid and tried to stop me because I wasn't entirely sure what I would do to him if he tried.“So King Gideon has asked me to bring you to the dining hall, there has been some change in plans and he wants you with him,” he said looking a little worried about how I would react.“Fine,” I said rolling my eyes. “I am not going to do what he wants, but I’ll eat and that is it,” I said crossing my arms. I didn’t want to see the King’s face but I knew I wasn't going to have a choice and it was only a matter of time before he comes and sits with
ampire Kings POVPacing around my lair, I was impatient. I wanted the girl to be brought to me and I wanted it done now. Sending Nikolai and Wayne I was hoping this would make things go a lot faster for Marks. He had fallen off years ago, and I don’t know why I would allow him to live. He has been nothing but a pathetic annoying vampire. Always getting people to notice him, we didn’t want the humans to know we were around, but here he was doing his thing.I was getting pissed, I should have just gone myself, it would have been a lot faster. She would be here with me now, and I would be able to shut down the Lycans and their laws. I needed a new world order and the Lycans were the ones that were causing most of our trouble.“King Lycan’s have moved into our terrorism.” one of my security details said walking into my office.“Wait!” I growled. “Good capture them, and torture them and then feast on them,” I ordered.I didn’t care what the Lycans thought of us, they wanted to come into my
Nathaniel’s POVWanting to get a glimpse of my daughter, I knew she was around. I wasn't sure how I was going to get in touch with her to talk to her. When Gideon told me she was here, my heart hurt. I knew I had failed her, her mother and I thought putting her in the human world would do good for her, but now that I look back on our choice we were dumb for doing it.“So King Gideon wants me to show you where you stay,” Nick said coming up to me.I knew the kid from when he was little, he was a good kid. He was smart and he wanted to honor the crown, I wasn't entirely sure why he was here with King Gideon, but I didn’t have the patience to ask nor did I care.“So what's your story?” I asked as we walked. “What happened after I was exiled from here?”“Lots of things,” he said looking at me. “But everyone went into hiding when Gideon took over, he caused a lot of problems and a lot of people to die.”“So he has done more damage than anything?” I asked.“Yes, but there is nothing we can
Nathaniel’s POVOpening my eyes, I was on the floor and my mouth throbbed, my body hurt. Picking myself up off the floor, I crawled over to the sink to rinse out my mouth, I was bleeding still so I’d have to burn the wound.As soon as the hot iron hit my severed tongue, I cried out in pain. My Lycan took over, shifting and crashing through one of the doors. I let him take over, it was one way I would be able to heal, sadly I’ll never be able to speak but I’ll figure out another way.“I need a doctor.” I mind linked King Gideon.“Oh I know, there is one coming. I had one of my men stand outside your room to let me know when you woke up.” he mused. “Get some rest, I’d suggest you not do anything to piss me off again I don’t know if I’ll control myself this time.” he cut off the link.A knock at the door, and then two doctors came in.“So you made him mad?” the doctor asked as he flashed a light into my mouth.He knew the answer, I think he was just being an ass when asking me that. I ro
Soma’s POVAfter I was done eating, I decided to take a walk. I wanted to see how much room King Gideon was going to give me. He was right me being stuck in a room is too much for me right now. I don’t know how I am going to survive this, but I know I have to. Now that I know Oliver is alive, I know he was looking for me, and it wouldn't only be a matter of time.“Going somewhere Princess?” a man stopped me as soon as I opened the door.“Yeah, you’re Derek right?” I asked trying to be nice.“Yes.” he mused. “Where do you want to go?”“I just want to walk around the castle, the room is stuffy,” I complained. I wasn't sure if he was going to buy the lie.“Fine, but only for a little while, I don’t want the King after me because I let you expire yourself too much,” he said rolling his eyes. “Any funny business I will make you suffer,” he warned.We walked around in silence until we turned down one of the hallways, I wasn't sure where we were going but I was hoping back to my room. When w
Soma’s POVWalking into that office with vampires, I was a little worried about what was going to happen. I didn’t want to be scared, but something was going on here, and I didn’t want to be any part of it.King Gideon pulled out the chair and kind of pushed me down in it. I didn’t want to be touched at least right now with him being horny and all. I closed my eyes and tried to tune out what they were talking about, it didn’t matter to me. I didn’t want to be a part of their war or their world.“So if I want the Princess?” the Vampire King asked.“Oh no she isn't on the table, she is to be married to me soon,” he said clearing his throat. “She will rule here as the Queen.”“But there is something about her not quite fitting for your setting, and something about how she detests you tells me she doesn’t want to be here. So why don’t we leave it up to the girl?” he said looking at me.“I am not allowing her to leave.” King Gideon growled. “We just got her back, she isn't going anywhere!”
Nick’s POVleaving Soma behind again was risky. I knew King Gideon was going to keep her close to him and make her do things at some point. But I needed to head to New York to find Oliver. I know I still didn’t trust him, but who wouldn't with the way he was when everything happened.Getting off the plane, I hailed a taxi and headed to Soma’s apartment. I still had a key, and I wanted to freshen up before the meeting with Oliver, I was worried he would kill me because he thought I was part of everything, but I am here to give him information so he can get to Soma before King Gideon makes her a slave.After I got out of the shower, I headed over to the coffee shop. I didn’t know if he would be around, or his brother either way I needed to speak to them.I walked into the coffee shop, the man at the register greeted me and wanted to take my order but I waved him off.“I am looking for Oliver or his brother?” I asked clearing my throat. “This is important if they are not here, I need to
