Third person POV After getting ready, Mia and Valeria left the human city in the depths of the night. “ It's strange, isn't? Why are the vampires not littering the city any more? It's like they have withdrawn." Mia wondered out loud. “ Isn't that good? Atleast we don't have to move around hiding ourselves." Valeria answered. “That might be true but after pulling that stunt of flooding the city and doing a search, isn't it strange they left just like that?" Mia insisted. “ Maybe they weren't after you after all or they have given up." Valeria speculated. “ Either way, It's good that they are no longer around. We can investigate the mark with ease. " The two chatted until they reached the depths of the forest." It would be great if I knew her location. That way, I can Just teleport us there.” Valeria murmured." Why don't I take you on a ride? It's faster.” Mia proposed before crouching and shifting into her snow white wolf.She then took off after Valeria hopped on her back.It
My eyes scanned the two people before me and their expression said it all.It didn't help that I had caught up with some words they said about me behind closed doors." What is it that I deserve to know, mother?" I àsked, this time, my gaze never leaving hers.My mother heaved a heavy sigh before motioning me to sit next to her." I didn't want to tell you now but it seems if I don't come clean with you, you'll probably eat me alive." My mother said before chuckling, perhaps in an attempt to lighten the mood.She was right though. I definitely wasn't going to eat her alive but I wasn't going to leave without hearing the truth from her mouth.Call me stubborn, I don't care. I have had so many things kept from me in my life that I was starting to hate being kept in the dark." You àsked me about the book earlier," she started." Actually, you don't need to know what the book says, you just need to ask me what you want to know and I'll tell you." She offered and my heart skipped a beat.
"What do you plan to do about your mother's suggestion, Mia?" Valeria's voice was soft but firm, like a gentle nudge.After the conversation we had with my mother, I excused myself and returned to our house.Ofcourse, Valeria tagged with me, keeping me company as I struggled to think about my next move.I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "I don’t know, Val. I really don’t. I’m caught up in this mess."On one hand, I need my dragon to awaken, only then can I be powerful enough to awaken the frozen dragons.After sleeping for all those years, it was about time they saw the world again.I hate to think that I am the reason the dragons faced that massacre back then.I was the target of the enemy yet it's my people who ended up bearing the brunch while I lived my life carelessly among werewolves.Then on the other hand we have Damian, my mate…"Completing the mating bond with Damian will awaken your dragon," Valeria reminded me, her voice tinged with hope."But Damian and I... we’re
A look of pure surprise or is it shock flashed through Liam's face."Dinner?"Realizing how abrupt I sounded, I quickly backpedaled. "I mean, if you're busy, it's fine. I just thought…”"I'd love to," he interrupted, a small smile playing on his lips.I felt a flush of warmth, different from the burn on my hand. "Great. I’ll see you tonight then."The rest of the day passed in a blur.After closing the cafe, I headed back home.Valeria had already informed me that she might be coming back later.After a quick shower, I made my way to the dressing table, did a light make-up and did my hair.It was just a casual dinner date but I still wanted to look presentable, especially with the task at hand.Ditching my leather pants and jackets, I chose a rather casual blue backless dress.I remember making fun of Valeria when she bought it for me. Who would have thought it would come into handy tonight.After taking one last glance at myself and nodding in satisfaction, I picked my handbag ànd le
The door creaked open, and I turned to see Mia standing there. She didn't look so good, especially with the frown marred on her face. Her usually bright eyes were dull and filled with unshed tears. My excitement about her dinner date with Liam instantly turned into concern.“Mia! How did it go?” I asked, trying to keep my voice light and hopeful.She didn’t respond right away. Instead, she moved to the sofa and collapsed onto it, her shoulders sagging as she heaved a sigh. “It started well… but it ended badly,” she finally said, her voice barely above a whisper.“What happened?” I pressed, wanting to get a grasp of what happened. She was excited when she left and I thought she would be happier coming back. I wasn't expecting her to come looking like this, like an abandoned puppy.Mia took a deep breath, tears spilling down her cheeks. “I asked Liam to be my chosen mate… to complete the mating bond and awaken my dragon. And he turned me down.”She revealed, her face crestfallen.Sh
" Are you sure you want to do this?" A voice sounded from behind me, making me whip my head around to look at the person.The person before me wore a mask covering his face and gloves to cover his hands. The aura sorrounding him was very strong and there was no doubt that he was a very powerful person.Without saying a word, I turned to walk away." Think about it, your only purpose in her life is to sacrifice yourself to make her powerful. Have you accepted your fate? That you are nothing but a steppingstone for her to get strong while you perish without a you to remember you." The man spoke out." If I die for her, then she would become a powerful warrior. And if she is powerful, she could survive better than if she is weak. If she survives, I will be able to die in peace knowing that I did what I could for her."" But don't you want to live a fulfilling life? You should be selfish sometimes. What would happen if you died and she forgot about you after becoming powerful. Would your
Damian POVI really can't believe Mia had the audacity to break up with me, even telling me the best thing for us was to reject each other.How dare she say that our relationship is nothing but a fantasy? I understand that it's not the best relationship out there considering all the obstacles on our way. But didn't I promise her that I will deal with everything just to have her by my side?Why doesn't she understand that without her, I'm literally nothing.I even went against my parents wishes and broke off the engagement with Alicia ànd ended up offending her father's pack.I'm already this desperate. If Mia thinks I'm going to give up so easily, then she's gravely mistaken.I know that I have a long road ahead of me, but if she's willing to give it a chance, then I'm willing to go the distance.I just hope Mia will be patient with me as I work towards making my family see her worth.Its been two days and I feel like I've lost my bearing.I can't seem to do anything right apart from
" Why are you here then?" I must eyes the courage to ask." Certainly to tell me to stay away from my mate?" I added, the sentence coming out more harsh than I intended.The woman before me smiled, as if she heard something really funny." Quite the contrary, I'm here to encourage you to go after her." She replied. I was taken aback by her words." What?" " Let's not beat around the bush here. I know you followed Mia today as she went out on a date." She started,I frowned " I also know you confronted that man." She added.I clenched my fists." You stalked me?" I asked but the lady just chuckled, shaking her head." You are the stalker here sweetheart. I don't need to do that, I have my ways." She said. I could only stare at her, waiting for her to continue talking. I could tell she had a lot to say." At this point, you should know that Mia desperately needs to complete her mating bond." She said.I snorted." Certainly. That's why she went looking for another man to complete the
