Soma’s POVI quickly got out of bed and went to the window. I knew taking a chance and running was a bad idea, but I couldn’t take a chance. I opened the window and looked down, it was colder than it was before, but I had to take the chance. I wasn't sure if King Gideon was expecting this again, but I couldn’t just sit here and wait for them to make a decision that I couldn’t get out of.Climbing out the window, I made it to ground level before I felt a pair of hands grab me from behind, I screamed.“You are either stupid or thinking I wasn't expecting you to do this,” he said pulling me closer. “I left your room as a test, I came here,” he whispered in my ear. “Come on let’s go back to your room,” he said pulling me away from the darkness and back into the castle.“I don’t belong here.” I snapped at him. “I wish you would just let me go!”“Can't do that Princess,” he said forcing me up the stairs and back into my room. He walked over to the window and locked it.As he was locking the
Oliver’s POVIt took everything I had to control Drew when he heard King Gideon tried to mark her he wanted to take over and go to London. I knew we had to get a plan in place, we couldn’t go in there without a plan.“Calm down Drew,” I warned. “You know the last time you tried to take over I shut you out.” I gritted my teeth before I felt him disappear in the back of my head. I was glad he wasn't as strong as he wanted, I was too weak right now to control him. I missed my mate, and the fact the Council thought it would be wise she was with their King made my blood run cold.I was glad Soma was as strong as she was, she was probably scared and that made me mad. I knew King Gideon didn’t love her and wouldn't. He had a mate out there somewhere, and he was trying to steal mine. I wanted his heart in my hand and I wanted him to utter my name before he took his last breath.Maybe it would be me that took his life, I wasn't sure but I knew I would be the one that went after him for his lus
Nick’s POVMaking it to Oliver’s pack lands I was exhausted, I was glad he didn’t hold anything against me. I was still a little worried about how he was going to be once she was back with him. I wanted to be in her life, but I knew she wouldn't have much time to mess around in the world when she became his Luna. I understood the whole werewolf world, I was able to research it while King Nathaniel was in charge, after he was taken from his position King Gideon had everything destroyed.He didn’t want anyone knowing anything about them, but in reality, the werewolves were peaceful people and I wished we were one instead of Lycans. Lycans only cared about one thing and that was power, something every one of them would do to betray each other just for that short-term power, it made me sick of calling myself a Lycan.Not being able to move around because of the poison Detective Marks forced into my blood was making me mad. I wanted to talk to Oliver and clear the air, but I knew I had to
Soma’s POV“Let me go!” I growled clawing at him, but it didn’t seem like it mattered. Was this his Lycan and he was not in control anymore?“You smell divine,” he smirked, his teeth were changing, my heart was racing I wasn't sure what I could do. I knew overpowering him wasn't going to work, and that was a bad thing. I looked in both directions, but I knew I had to get out of his hold before I could escape.“Please let me go!” I whined again trying to free myself, but his strength seemed like it was getting stronger.“Now why would I do that, you know just as well as I do you are fair game,” he said pulling me closer to him. “I am going to make you mine!”“Roman!” a voice boomed through the hallway, he instantly let go of me. “Why are you hurting the Princess?”“Sorry King Gideon, she was trying to get away,” he muttered.“No, I wasn't!” I growled. “He wanted to show me around the castle, and then this happened,” I said pulling away from him. “I cannot trust you, please take me back
Soma’s POVWalking with Roman was hard, I didn’t want to be around him and he was putting off this energy that I didn’t like too much. I know he said he was sorry, but something about his apology wasn't right, maybe he was forced into saying it to make it easier for him to control me when King Gideon wasn't around, I wasn't sure. I still needed a plan to get out of here.Trying to remember every corner we turned, it seemed like he was taking me in circles. I don’t know if he was but when I kept seeing the same paintings I began to wonder.“Why are we going in circles?” I snapped at him. “Don't tell me we’re not because I’ve seen this one three times.”“Oh well King Gideon likes that one a lot.” he mused. “Besides why would I take you in circles, King Gideon wants you next to him quickly.”“Mhm,” I said rolling my eyes.I knew he was lying but knew I didn’t have any say in what he wanted to do to me at least for now. Walking down a long hallway, Roman stopped and turned.“Try and play
King Gideon’s POVAfter my encounter with Soma, I decided to sit back down with Nathaniel. Yeah, he couldn’t communicate with his voice, but the mind-link was there and I knew he was going to give me an ear full about his daughter. Honestly, he was lucky I didn’t kill him, I needed his assistance when it comes to his daughter. I needed to know the spell his dead wife cast so we could break it and bring her Lycan out. We had a war coming, and it was going to be tough.“You get out of line again Nathaniel I will show your daughter just how much I don’t care about having you around,” I growled. “Sit down and let’s finish this plan.”“Fine,” Nathaniel said. “But you touch my daughter again, I will force my Lycan to drop the code and kill you.”“You can try and kill me but there is nothing your Lycan will do other than cower to me like you and him have all these years.” I mused. “But I am welcoming you to challenge me, we can even do it for the crown. Without training, I could probably kil
Soma’s POVI was getting annoyed being with King Gideon his constant advances were pissing me off. I knew he wanted me to be his mate, but I wasn't and I wasn't going to give in to him, no matter how much he whines and complains that my place is next to him. I was going to get out of this castle one way or another.Since the vampires haven't moved in, it was probably something King Gideon used to scare the people of the kingdom, mostly as a form of control. Pacing around my room I knew taking a chance going through the window was probably not a good idea, but running out the front door is even worse. I knew getting away from King Gideon was going to be impossible, but I needed to try.He was getting restless and I knew he was going to force himself on me and mark me, I still wasn't sure what that meant, and if Oliver would still be my mate. I wasn't taking that chance and there was no way in hell he was going to stick his dick anywhere near me either.I was glad he was leaving, I coul
Oliver’s POVGetting together with some of the Alphas that have been here for the beginning, we needed to gather on my pack lands and had to make plans. We needed to move fast, word got around to the Council about the vampires moving in on the Lycans, and everyone was notified. I was hoping things would be good and Soma would be saved before King Gideon forced her into his kingdom. I knew we had to get rid of him, but killing a Lycan King would be cause for war and I knew we were outnumbered when it came to the Lycans. We stayed away from them and they stayed away from us, we hadn’t had a war in centuries and I wasn't going to be known as the Alpha that ended us.I still wanted to find out why the Council wouldn't let Soma make her own choices, I had a feeling King Gideon had something to do with it, I was going to torture him for his boldness, I knew enough about the man that he was bad, and he needed to be put down. I wasn't sure who Nathaniel was, I was a little nervous to meet him
