I slammed the door and crawled right back into bed. Why did I even go looking for him? Why did I feel so hurt? Of course, he isn’t my mate how could I be so stupid to think he was telling the truth?
“Thyri, it’s not what it looks like.” The man came barging into my room.
“I don’t care, whatever your name is, leave me alone!” I screamed as I pulled the blanket over my head.
“It’s Damien, my name is Damien Walker.” He said as I felt a dip on the edge of the bed. “And you are Thyri Daniels, my mate, the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”
“You need your eyes checked, I don’t care who you are, I don’t have a mate. Stop calling me that, I can’t have a mate. You don’t lack in that department though, I just want to go home.” I sniffled, as tears kept streaming down my face.
“You are my mate,” He replied loudly as he ripped the blanket off my body. “Stop saying that, I don’t need my eyes checked either.”
“Oh, please, do you think these rolls could compete with those models down there?” I grabbed the side of my fat thigh and jiggled it before pointing at the door. “I want to go home, don’t you think if I had a mate I would have found them before turning thirty?” I questioned sitting up against the headboard bringing my knees back up to my chest. He didn’t say anything, he just stared at me, I tucked my head in my arms that were propped up on my knees. “Just leave me alone Damien, I’m not who you think I am, I’m no one.” I guess my saying that made him come closer because he started rubbing his thumb down my arm. I felt sparks, it made my body shudder, and I did not react well. “Stop touching me, Damien, I don’t know you! You took me against my will, you kidnapped me, and no one knows I’m here. I want to go home, please. Don’t hurt me, I can’t deal with more pain.” I couldn’t stop it was like hot lava coming out of my mouth.
“You live here, now, you want to go back to what? Go be with the guy I saw you kissing? I forbid it, you are mine!” He roared as he stood from the bed towering over me. I screamed which caused him to leave and slam my door.
‘You hurt our mate after she begged us not to cause her pain!’ Hunter growled at me in my mind. ‘I will rip you to shreds, you keep making her cry, you piece of shit, she doesn’t understand that she is our mate yet.’ ‘Yeah, and she never will’ I retorted as I bounced down the stairs. ‘She will, if you would be patient and kind with her, her...’ But I cut him off, I was tired of his idle threats and just wanted to eat and go to bed. I walked into the kitchen and sat at the table when my nanny Suzette brought me my plate of food. “Thank you, Nanny,” I replied, grabbing my fork. “Not for you, idjit, for the Luna Queen,” She smacked me on the back of the head and my once slicked-back black hair was now a mess. “Go, you get yours when she gets hers.” She glared at me. Honestly, this old woman was the only one I trusted and allowed to beat me up. “Kara!” I yelled with a smirk on my face staring at Nanny Suzette. “Bring this plate of food to the Luna Quee
“Damien, Damien, Look I’m sorry,” I followed the amazing scent of lavender and sandalwood to a door. As I opened it repeating myself, I was not ready to see Damien coming out of the shower, with a towel around his waist and a naked woman sitting at the foot of the bed. I couldn’t handle it, the pain in my chest was worse than any pain I endured. My eyes went wide, and I ran down the stairs and out of the front door. As tears streamed down my face, I finally reached the front gate but a huge black wolf stopped me in my tracks growling. I tried to turn direction but it jumped in front of me and growled again, I slipped on the gravel and went down backward, hitting my head as I blacked out. “Thyri, Darling, please be okay.” I heard someone say, but my eyes were heavy. “She’ll be okay Dear,” I heard another voice “Alpha King, the Luna Queen’s vital’s are normal, she is slightly concussed but she will be okay, she has to take it easy. Her body it’s… You need to
When she started panicking about me being the Alpha King, and her becoming the Luna Queen, she started begging me to reject her. I was furious, I had waited thirty-two years for her, and I wasn’t going to reject her. Then Nanny mind-linked me that she was broken, and she thinks she had never been loved, I broke right there, I knew I had to hold her. Hunter howled in my head for our broken mate, what things did she go through to make her this broken? I stayed with her all day while she cried, and refused to eat. That’s all she did, I could feel how she battled with herself, giving in to the mate bond, relaxing in my arms, but when she got too comfortable I could feel a shift and she’d start to cry again. I could do nothing but hold her, I knew she needed it. When she finally fell asleep that night, I kissed her cheek and promised that no one would ever hurt her again, I stayed with her I couldn’t bring myself, to not be here, if she needed me again in the middle of the night or think I
“Darling, please stop saying that!” Damien rushed through my door as I lay crying on the bed wrapped in a blanket. “No, you just need to forget about me, I can not be a Luna Queen, Damien I am broken. No one wants a broken Queen, you need to get someone better.” I yelled out as he ripped the blanket off of me. “I have waited thirty-two years for you, you will not make me give you up!” He screamed as his eyes started flickering from brown to black. “I will…” Suddenly he started struggling to speak before his eyes went completely black. “Hello mate,” He said, only it wasn't his voice, it was deeper and dare I say more sensual. “I’m Hunter, Damien’s wolf,” “Hello,” My eyes went wide as I sat up. “Don’t be afraid mate, Damien is okay, you will be okay too. I love you mate,” He crawled onto the bed bowing his head, sitting in front of me, and crossing his legs. “What?” I questioned furrowing my eyebrows. “I love you mate,” H
“Darling, I’m sorry but I’m being pulled away. A pack has come to see me, please go downstairs and get comfortable. Nanny is waiting for you, I love you, I will be back as soon as I can.” I got out of bed and kissed her on the forehead before turning around to walk out of the door reluctantly. ‘This had better be something worthwhile, to pull us away from our mate!’ Hunter growled loudly. ‘I agree, but, Beta Gerald knows not to disturb us unless it’s important.’ I told him, trying to suppress my anger. ‘That was before we got our mate! You make it clear not to disturb us unless someone is coming to harm her, or I will!’ Hunter snarled. ‘Hunter, no one will harm her now, we will deal with those that have hurt her. We still have packs to care for, but I do agree I must make it clear unless it is trivial then he need not disturb us.’ I muttered as I reached the last step brushing back my jet-black hair with my hands.
“Does Damien work a lot?” I asked Suzette as the older woman started cutting vegetables. “Yes Dear, being the Alpha King he takes care of over forty packs, soon you will share in his load and care for the packs as well,” Suzette answered as she scraped the cut vegetables into the big silver pot. “Nanny Suzette!” A loud deep voice called out from behind, causing the nanny to turn around to face a man identical to Damien. "My boy!" Yelled Nanny Suzette as she put down her knife and power walked to the man who had just walked through the side door. She wrapped her arms around him as he lifted her slightly and embraced her tighter. "Who's this?" The man asked as Suzette let him go before she began walking back toward the kitchen island. "Dayne this is Thyri your twin's mate," Suzette beamed as she moved to the stove pushing the vegetables into a big silver pot. "Isn't she lovely?" "Indeed," Dayne made his way to me as he took my hand and kissed it before he s
"I'm off, I'm a bit tired this evening." Nanny Suzette rang out as she placed the bowls of soup on the counter as we walked into the kitchen. "It's a shame, Nanny, I was hoping to catch up, well there's always tomorrow," Dayne spoke up as he sat in the tall wooden chair in front of the island bar. "Indeed, Nanny, I hope you aren't coming down with anything," I stated as I pulled out the chair next to my brother for my mate. "Of course not, you all need to talk, have a good night," Suzette answered as she took off her apron grabbed her purse, and headed out the door. "This is a wonderful soup," I said after a long period of silence. "Nanny is a wonder with food, I can't wait to taste your food, my love." "Will someone give me answers, I can feel you both avoiding me, or this conversation, or answers you have yet to tell me," Thyri blurted out as she dropped the spoon into her bowl. "We should head into the living room my love," I muttered as I helped her out of her chair giving m
"Good morning, sweetheart," Damien turned from looking out the window. "How did you sleep?" "Great," I stated, as I felt a huge arm drape over me. "I.. oh.." I turned over to see Dayne still asleep next to me. "Don't worry, baby," Dayne said as he gently kissed my cheek and went back to sleep. "How do you feel?" Damien asked as he sat on the bed. That was a question I was expecting, but to actually feel different was unexpected. I feel more alive. 'Hello,' Came a voice I had never heard before. My eyes darted to the door, but it was far too close to come from behind the door. 'I'm sorry I can feel you getting nervous, I'm Duchess, your wolf.' "My what?" I replied out loud. Surely this must be a joke, or I was undoubtedly still dreaming. "Your what?" Damien muttered as he reached his hand out to touch my cheek. "What?" I scrunched my eyebrows together as Dayne sat up in bed. I positioned myself to the side to see both twins to ensure this wasn't some prank they were pulling. 'I'
"For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow! Which nobody can deny!" We sang out as Nanny Suzette brought in a three-layered strawberry cake. My eyes followed the pink treat dashed with strawberries with the words Happy Retirement Gerald written in bright red gel. "Happy retirement Gerald!" I clapped my hands along with the others, surrounded by the older man, my grandfather's Beta, confidant, and friend, as he blew out the candles on his cake. "Thank you all!" Gerald bowed his head as the wrinkles on his face became more defined with a broad smile. I glanced at my twin as he gripped our mate by the hip and memories flooded in. Memories of Beta Gerald carrying around lollipops in his jacket pocket to give my brother and me when we seemed to be in our grandfather's way. "Twin, you're looking a bit sentimental," Dayne commented as he stood beside me, plopping a cake pop off the stick and into his mouth. "I was just thinking about when Gera
"So, Darrell told me last night that you have two mates," Kate relayed, as she sat on the sofa in the living room. "Yes, Damien and Dayne are identical twins," I smiled as I brought my feet up on the couch. "Their grandfather hired some kind of doctor who ran experiments on them. They're hybrid and Dayne lost the ability to have a mate. It actually formed with his brothers, so whenever Damien found his mate then Dayne would know it too. I got lucky, I think." "So, then everything is good?" Kate asked as she turned toward me. "Yes, surprising it is. It took me a while to tell Damien everything that happened in my past. Back when I thought it was just Damien," I chuckled as I grabbed the glass of water in front of me. "Once, I knew he had a twin and that they would have one mate I thought I would feel overwhelmed, but it's been wonderful. I felt more comfortable when I decided to tell Dayne, I get more comfortable with them by the day. Enough about me, tell me about you," "Well, I do
"So, are you here to stay?" Damien asked as he opened the door to his office that used to be our grandfather's. "Of course," I said sharply as I sat on the old leather sofa. "Well, if you are, then we need to get some things out of the way," My brother stated as he sat in the chair behind our grandfather's old wooden desk. I nodded my head and crossed my legs as I waited to see what news he was going to spill my way. "No one knows I have a twin much less that we are supposed to rule together. You have been absent for well, everything, and if we are to do this then that means we are going everywhere together. I do not expect you to run after you've been introduced." "You know I couldn't be here, not with everything our grandfather was trying to get me to do. He refused to believe that we would share a mate, the crown, a kingdom. I had to leave, but now that we have Thyri I'm not going anywhere." I retorted as I sat up and intertwined my fingers. "I'm glad you think so, she will be w
