TROY’S POV.Since the day Blue joined my pack, I have felt a lot happier, but I can not shake off my concerns. Seeing as Blue does not know I am her mate. Sometimes, I am itching to tell her, but deep down, I know that is a terrible idea. Our first meeting was not exactly friendly, and I did keep her here against her will. But was that a bad idea? It was the only way I could think of to keep her close.When I saw her hugging and being all affectionate with that human, Alex. It stirred up this feeling of jealousy in me. I have heard the rumors that they might be dating and it looks like it might be true. The thought of them together was making me angry. It took everything in my power not to get rid of him that day, but that would put me in a bad position and Blue would hate me forever and the last thing I needed after searching for my mate for a long time was to get rejected. It was not just the hug, it was the way he looked at her like they shared a secret world I could never be a pa
She was trained for perfection.Trained to be strong and resilient.To embody strength and show no fearTo despise weakness and see it only as a curse.SONIA’S POV. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and could barely recognize myself. My uncle had insisted that the wedding should be grand and had invited the very best of the best. My makeup artist had done a perfect job highlighting all my best features, and I looked so different, so beautiful, yet unfamiliar.Throughout my years in boarding school, my wardrobe consisted solely of combat trousers and black t-shirts—simple and plain. I never had the opportunity to let my hair down, quite literally. The idea of wearing a gown seemed like a distant luxury. Returning home, I found myself presented with the finest dresses and clothes. While I anticipated some differences, I wasn't prepared to be so taken aback.Marrying Kelvin wasn't part of the plan. After years of striving to prove myself to my uncle and my pack, I thought I had fi
SONIA POV. I stood in the garden just as the note had instructed, waiting for him to come to see me. The garden was quiet, and there wasn't a single person in sight. All the housekeepers were inside, busy preparing and decorating for my big day, which was set to start in two hours. I waited for a few more minutes, hoping for Michael to show up, but he never did. I cursed myself for falling for his prank. Michael had always been mischievous as a child, and sixteen years later, he still managed to play tricks on me.I turned to leave when a voice stopped me. “Leaving so soon?” he called out. His voice, no longer the playful tone I remembered, now possessed a depth and allure that sent shivers down my spine. It was deep, commanding yet incredibly sexy. I swallowed hard, struggling to compose myself before facing him.But when I did, the sight before me took my breath away. His body, and his face, both exuded a mesmerizing allure, as if he were a God descended from the heavens. If I t
SONIA’S POV. I could not stop worrying about Micheal’s warning. I wondered what he meant when he said I shouldn't trust my Uncle and soon to be husband. My uncle was a strange man but surely I could trust him, afterall he had always wished for the best for me. The lady who tailored my dress returned to my room with my veil. “The wedding will commence in thirty minutes. You need to be fully dressed for your big day.”“Do you know anything about my husband?” I asked.The lady dropped the veil on the chair and came to face me. “I heard he is a kind man,” she said, her tone sounding generic. I could immediately tell she was lying.I tried again this time using a softer tone. “I’m just nervous,” I confessed softly, keeping my gaze down. “I wonder if he would like me. I have only spoken to him twice, and I’m not sure if he fancies me.”The lady softened, placing her hands on my shoulders. “Oh dear, I understand how you feel. I was a bride once and was equally nervous. But you, dear, hav
MICHEAL’S POV. I walked into the room where the first part of the wedding would commence. First, there was the traditional ball dance between the bride and groom or with a close relative. The crowd parted for me as I walked in; it was a rare sight to see me at such an event, and I knew everyone was wondering why I would want to attend the wedding of my enemies. But the answer was clear: He was giving away my Sonia to a man who did not deserve her.The ladies quickly gathered around me, a sight that stirred envy among the men who couldn’t match my power and beauty. They competed amongst themselves, vying for my attention, some displaying their charms in hopes of winning my favour and becoming my bride. However, none captivated me like Sonia.My gaze remained fixed on Sonia as she entered the room, her beauty as captivating as ever. Despite my reservations, I sat among the crowd, watching her being wed to the undeserving Kelvin. Knowing Kelvin and her uncle’s intentions were not noble,
SONIA’S POV.I went back to my bedroom to retouch my makeup before the official wedding ceremony began. I avoided my uncle and my soon to be husband after the dance because I could not dare to face them after the scandal I just created. Bella rushed into my room, and I anticipated her disappointment. Instead, she appeared strangely pleased. Locking the door behind her, she smiled widely at me.“And you said you did not care about the Lycan King?” Bella said, eyeing me up and down.“I don’t,” I said, keeping my gaze fixed ahead, refusing to meet her eyes.“I don’t believe you, not after what I just witnessed. You two were helplessly in love with each other,” Bella said. “It was like watching a fairy tale. I have never seen Michael be so gentle with anyone.”“It was just a dance, Bella. Drop it,” I hissed.Bella walked toward me, slamming her hand on my vanity table. “Why are you lying to yourself?”I sighed, dropping my makeup and turning to face her. “What difference does it make, Be
SONIA’S POV. Once we were a safe distance from my kingdom, I nudged his wolf, but he ignored me, so I tugged at his fur more forcefully, causing him to growl in irritation.He stopped running, letting me jump down from his large wolf form. I adjusted my wedding gown before bowing down as a sign of respect to the Lycan King and also for helping me out of my kingdom. "Thank you for saving me, but I can find my way," I said firmly, my head still lowered.Michael shifted into his human form and spoke, his voice commanding. "Look at me, Sonia.”I looked up to find him standing there, completely naked. His body was a work of art sculpted and adorned with scars, both large and small. Each scar told stories of battles fought and won. But what drew my attention the most was the intricate tattoo covering his left hand. I tore my gaze away from his body; I noticed his intense stare as if he could see through me.“What did you say, Cherry?” Michael’s voice was low, sending shivers down my spi
SONIA’S POV. My eyes fluttered open, and this time, I found myself lying under a tree. I turned to see Michael giving orders to his men. I shifted, placing my hand on my pounding head."You woke up just in time," Michael said as he strolled over to me.I frowned. "What's wrong with you? Kidnapping me is a serious crime, don't you know that?" I hissed."Shhhh... cherry," he hushed, squatting down and placing a finger on my lips. "This isn't the time to unleash all your anger on me. You need to conserve your strength. The drug is potent," he said gently, as if speaking to a child."If you hadn't shot me, I wouldn't be in this state," I scolded.He shrugged. "You are right, but it was the only way to bring you along.""And what makes you think I won't run away once I regain my strength?" I said, crossing my arms."Let me worry about that later," he sighed before standing up. "My men are out in the woods to find meat for us. We bought a couple of wines along, so we'll be able to have a d
