Her POVThe light was so bright, I couldn't help but turn away from it, shying away into the darkness that already surrounded me.'No... the light', a voice said suddenly out of the void.I turned around but couldn't see anything.'Come to me', the voice said again.'Come into the light'I walked hesitantly towards the light and the closer I got the brighter it became. I wanted to stop but couldn't as I continued to walk on as if propelled forward by some unseen force around me, until soon the light enveloped me and there was nothing at all.The first thing I felt was the cold. It was so cold, I missed the warmth of the light. I gingerly opened my eyes, feeling drowsy. I blinked a few times in order to get used to the darkness around me. When I felt more oriented, I tried to sit up but the pain in my head went off like a siren, reverberating through my brain, forcing me to lie down again. I laid down for a few minutes before slowly attempting to sit up again. This time the pain was be

Kaile's POVI stared at the strange woman who was also staring back."What do you mean you don't know?", I asked, a hint of disbelief in my tone."I don't remember", she answered.I blinked. Was she lying? But it didn't look like she was lying. I looked at the doctor."Could this be because of the attack?", I asked him."It's possible maybe she's concussed", he answered as he moved closer to inspect her."Open your eyes please", he told her and she did. He flashed a light in her eyes and examined her."Doesn't seem to be concussed", he said after a few minutes."I'm fine", she mumbled, causing all of us to turn our attention to her."I just can't remember", she muttered softly, her eyes down as she fidgeted with the sheets.Seeing her like that caused my heart to ache."Thank you doctor", I said and the doctor bowed before leaving the room.I nodded at the maid signaling her to leave as well and she bowed before leaving.With the two of us left alone in the room, I could properly take

Her POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror. It had been three days since Kaile saved me and brought me back here. My ankle had healed and I had the last doctor's appointment just this morning. Over these three days I had been trying my best to remember something but it always ended the same way, a crippling headache. I couldn't get past the dark void and it was frustrating. There was a knock on the door and I turned around excitedly."How are you feeling?", Macy asked as she popped her head in.I couldn't help the slight feeling of disappointment I felt when I saw it was her. Macy was wonderful, she was the maid who had come to see me when I first woke up. She had later told me her name and she was the sweetest and warmest person I'd met so far but I was hoping it was Kaile. Over the past three days I was here, Kaile had never failed to visit me even if it was brief visits late in the evening. He was so kind and he seemed genuinely concerned for me."I feel fine", I answered Macy

Kaile's POV"Thank you, Madam Cassandra, you can leave", I dismissed her after I had given her my instructions about Eve.She bowed and left. After she left, I let myself sink into my thoughts. The image of Eve smiling as she called her name flashed in my mind and I couldn't stop myself from smiling as well. Eve, the name really did suit her, the people I knew with that name had the most beautiful smiles."Kaile", Reuben called, pulling me out of my thoughts.I hadn't realized when he came into the room."What is it?", I asked."We've found the rogues we think you had a run in with", he said."That's good, well have we questioned them yet?", I asked."They're dead", he said in a matter of fact tone."Dead?", I questioned."Yes", he answered affirmatively."Where did you find them?", I asked."A little way past the inner boundary pass, almost in Ravenwood territory", he said and I furrowed my brows."Ravenwood territory? Well how did they die? Could you tell?", I asked."It looks like

Ezra's POV"Two attacks within the space of three days! This is getting out of hand!", Lincoln, one of the elder council members, barked.I sighed and looked at Romeo, my second in command, ignoring Lincoln's outburst of anger."The attack was swift, my Alpha", Romeo relayed, catching my glance."We had a small group of soldiers around the area and they were dispatched there immediately we heard news of the attack but by the time they got there, the rogues were nowhere to be found", he continued.I clenched my fists."Casualties?", I asked."There were no casualties but the village was thoroughly pillaged, everything had been catered away, some houses were set on fire but the boys were able to quickly put them out", he answered.I groaned as I mulled over his report."My alpha, this is indeed getting out of hand. How did things escalate to this point? The rogues are getting more and more audacious", another council member said."And what is the army doing to checkmate their actions? N
Last Updated : 2024-10-01Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another CHAPTER SIX: THE INTRUDER
Eve's povI turned from one side of the bed, to the other, restlessly. Dripping sweat covered my face. I opened my eyes sharply sitting upright on the bed. It was a dream! My heart was thumping furiously against my chest. I moved my hands to my face dabbing it relentlessly. I picked my pillow to my chest squeezing it to myself. Fear crept into my heart slowly. This was the first time I was having that dream and it really was scary. I stood up sluggishly pulling up the blinds. The reflection of the sun hit me in the face reminding me that I woke up late. With a groan, I left for the bathroom to freshen up. Still in the bathroom, I heard the creaking sound of the door to my room. Someone was coming in? Who was that? I hurriedly washed away the soap on my face trying to get my towel hanged by the door. The dream! I was reminded. With fear, I tied my towel round my body picking up the mop stick near me. I wasn't going to give in. I must confront whoever the intruder might be. As I stood ne

Kaile's povI left Eve's room to mine worry-stricken. I felt anger boil from within me, does she have to pass through all this? My mind flashed back to the man who wanted to have something with her. I reversed my step to my seat in the main hall. Not disappointed, I met him on his knees with his hands tied behind him. I smirked dangerously as I walked towards him. I am going to get my revenge on touching Eve. Eve? Am I been possessive? Anyhow it looks like, I'm not. I took my sit slowly my eyes on the man all through. As if the man senses the boiling anger from me, he bowed his head in regret. It is too late.“Young man, look at me.” I commanded with disgust. He was still battling with himself.“I won't repeat myself.” I warned. This time he met my eyes but not for long. If looks could kill, he probably might have been dead.“Are you not one of the servant I put in charge to guide her door?” His face looks familiar. Is he one of them? I am more infuriated when he nod his hess in respon

Ezra's povI feel relieved as I settle down to my meal. The invitation I sent to Kaile was something very intentional. I know he isn't mated yet and he might not even be thinking about it anytime soon. It was also a strategy to show off my beautiful mate even though I'm not interested in her. We are both going to be mated soon but I still feel drawn to my first love. She appears in my dream once in a while so her memory still remains fresh. I will have prefer to remain single but the pack boards won't allow that. I was drawn from my thoughts by a hand which trailed my neck down to my face. Looking up, all to see it is Lydia. A silent sigh escaped my lips as I force a smile towards her.“Good morning, Alpha.”“Morning.” I reply her coldly.“When did you arrive at the pack? I heard that you followed your brother somewhere.” I enquire.“Yes, I did. I arrived this morning.”“Where did you go to if I my ask?” I can see hesitation as I ask her the question. Why is she hesitating? Is she hidi

Kaile's point of view As we rode towards Ezra's kingdom, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been growing inside me since Eve told me about her dream. She had been so casual about it, so matter-of-fact, but I could sense the underlying tension in her voice.I glanced over at her, watching as the wind whipped through her hair. She was so beautiful, so strong and determined. But I knew that she was also vulnerable, that the dream had unsettled her in ways that she couldn't even begin to understand.I felt a pang of jealousy, of possessiveness. Who was this Ezra person, and why was he featuring in Eve's dreams? I knew that I had no right to feel this way, that Eve was free to dream about whoever she wanted. But I couldn't help the way I felt.As we rode, I found myself stealing glances at Eve, trying to read her expression. Was she thinking about Ezra? Was she wondering what it would be like to be with him?I felt a surge of frustration, of anger. Why was I letting this
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another CURIOSITY
Eve's point of view Kaile's words sent a shiver down my spine. I knew that I had stumbled upon something important, something that could potentially uncover the identity of the killer."What do you know about the black dagger?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Kaile's eyes locked onto mine, his expression intense. "I've heard rumors of a black dagger being used in ancient rituals," he said, his voice low and cautious. "But I never thought it was connected to the killer."I felt a surge of excitement mixed with fear. We were getting close to uncovering the truth, but we were also getting closer to danger."We need to tell Ezra about this," I said, my voice firm.Kaile nodded in agreement. "I'll go get him. But Eve, we need to be careful. If the killer is using a black dagger, we don't know what they're capable of."I nodded, feeling a sense of trepidation. We were playing with fire, but we had to see this through.As Kaile turned to leave, I called out to him. "Kaile."He tur

stood at the window, staring out into the darkness, my mind racing with thoughts of the dream and the black dagger. I knew I had to tell Ezra about it, but a part of me hesitated. Should I tell Kaile too?I shook my head, pushing the thought aside. It was late, and I was too tired to think clearly. I would decide what to do in the morning.I walked over to the washbasin and splashed some cold water on my face, trying to clear my head. The cool water was refreshing, and I felt a little more alert.I dried my face and walked back to bed, my mind still whirling with thoughts of the dream and the black dagger. I climbed into bed and pulled the covers up to my chin, trying to shut out the thoughts and get some rest.But as I lay there, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. The dream had felt so real, and the image of the black dagger kept flashing in my mind.I sighed and closed my eyes, trying to will myself to sleep. But my mind was still racing, and I knew it was goi
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another REALITY
Eve's point of view I was caught off guard by Kaile's sudden kiss. I had been about to apologize, to tell him that I couldn't return his feelings. But then his lips were on mine, and everything else melted away.At first, I was stiff, unsure of how to react. But as Kaile's kiss deepened, I felt myself relaxing, felt myself getting lost in the sensation of his lips on mine.It was like nothing I had ever experienced before. Kaile's kiss was passionate and demanding, but it was also gentle and tender. He kissed me like he meant it, like he was pouring his heart and soul into every moment.I felt myself getting swept up in the kiss, felt myself responding to Kaile's passion. My arms crept up around his neck, pulling him closer as our lips moved together.For a moment, I forgot about everything else. I forgot about Ezra, forgot about the danger that lurked in the shadows. All I could think about was Kaile, and the way he made me feel.But as the kiss deepened, I felt a pang of guilt. I w
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another REVEAlED FEELING
Kalie's point of view I sat in my study, staring blankly at the papers in front of me. My mind was a thousand miles away, consumed by thoughts of Eve.I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been growing inside me since Eve returned from Ezra's kingdom. I had seen the way Ezra looked at her, the way he smiled at her, and it made my blood boil.I didn't want to lose Eve. I didn't want her to be taken away from me by Ezra or anyone else. But I was scared to admit my true feelings to her. What if she didn't feel the same way?I sighed, rubbing my temples. I had to face the truth. I was in love with Eve. I had been for a long time, but I had been too afraid to admit it.The thought sent a shiver down my spine. What would happen if Eve found out? Would she feel the same way, or would she reject me?I looked up, my eyes falling on a small, leather-bound book on my shelf. It was a book of poetry, one that Eve had given me a long time ago. I opened it, flipping through the pages

Eve's point of view I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. I was in my own bed, and Kalie was sitting beside me, his eyes fixed on my face.I felt a flush rise to my cheeks as I realized he had stayed with me all night. "Kalie, why are you still here?" I asked, trying to sound calm despite my embarrassment.Kalie's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. "I wanted to make sure you were okay," he said, his voice low and gentle.I sat up, trying to reassure him. "I'm fine, Kalie. Really. You can go now."But Kalie didn't move. He just kept looking at me, his eyes searching mine as if he was trying to see into my soul."Kalie, please," I said, trying to persuade him. "I'm really okay. You can go back to your own hut now."Kalie hesitated, his eyes still fixed on mine. But then he nodded, his face softening into a gentle smile."Okay, Eve," he said, standing up. "But if you need anything, you promise to call for me?"I nodded, feeling a warmth spread through my c

Ezra's point of view I glared at my reflection in the mirror, my eyes blazing with anger. My face was a mess of bruises and cuts, courtesy of Kalie's fierce beating.I clenched my jaw, my hands shaking with rage as I cleaned the wounds. How dare he? I was the future king, and he had the audacity to attack me like that?But what really fueled my anger was the fact that Kalie had ruined my plans. Eve was supposed to be under my control by now, but thanks to Kalie's interference, she was now safely back in her hut.I seethed with frustration, my mind racing with ways to get back at Kalie. He thought he had won, but little did he know, I had only just begun to play.A knock at the door broke my reverie, and I turned to see Lydia standing in the entrance. Her eyes widened as she took in my battered face."My lord," she gasped. "What happened?"I waved my hand dismissively. "It's nothing," I growled. "Just a minor setback."Lydia's eyes sparkled with curiosity, but she knew better than to

Kaile's point of view The healer's face was grim as she examined Eve. She muttered to herself, her hands moving quickly and surely as she worked."What did they give her?" the healer asked, her voice sharp with concern."I don't know," I admitted, feeling a surge of frustration. "I found her like this at Ezra's castle. I think he must have given her something."The healer's eyes narrowed. "I'll need to run some tests," she said. "But I think I can help her."I nodded, feeling a wave of relief wash over me. The healer was the best in the kingdom—if anyone could help Eve, it was her.The healer quickly got to work, mixing up a concoction of herbs and potions. She fed it to Eve, who swallowed it down without resistance.As we waited for the medicine to take effect, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. What had Ezra been thinking, giving Eve some kind of drug? And what did he plan to do with her?I gritted my teeth, feeling a surge of anger. I was going to find out what Ezra had p
Mated To One Alpha-Claimed By Another SELF CONTROL
Kalie's point of view I quickly carried Eve out of the castle and to my car, parked nearby. I opened the door and gently placed her in the passenger seat.As I buckled her in, Eve suddenly started to squirm and struggle, her hands grasping at her dress. "I'm so hot," she whispered, her voice husky and desperate. "I need to get out of this."Before I could stop her, Eve started to remove her dress, pulling it down over her shoulders and exposing her bare skin. I felt a surge of desire mixed with concern, and I quickly reached out to cover her."Eve, stop," I said firmly, trying to keep my eyes off her bare skin. "You can't just...we need to get you home."But Eve just kept repeating, "I'm so hot," over and over, her eyes glassy and unfocused. I knew I had to get her out of there, and fast, before things got any worse. I quickly got into the driver's seat and started the engine, peeling out of the castle grounds as fast as I could.As I drove, Eve continued to squirm and struggle in the
