The dim light of the room cast long shadows across the cold cement floor. The air was thick with the scent of dampness, mingled with the metallic tinge of fear that radiated from the man kneeling in the center of the room. His eyes darted toward the figure in the distance, his body tense as he awaited his punishment.Suddenly, a pair of high-heeled boots clicked against the ground, and before he could brace himself, the woman before him delivered a brutal kick to his chest. His body crumpled under the force, a grunt escaping his lips as he hit the ground, gasping for air. He clutched his chest, the pain radiating through his ribs as he looked up, his vision blurring.He had expected it. After all, their alpha's daughter had been getting worse over the past three years. Sometimes, he even wondered what happened to the sweet little girl they all watched grow up.Three years ago, they had been attacked while hunting and the Alpha's daughter changed after their narrow escape."Pathetic!"
Mia“ I didn't expect to see you here."My mother replied, her fists clenched tightly. I looked between her ànd the man and I could clearly feel the animosity of each other towards the other. “ It's been years. You've stayed hidden for so long I almost believed you died!" The man spat, his lips curled into a sinister smile." It's not that easy to kill me.” Mother countered.The man smiled." I'll admit to that. Anyway, I was just passing by. See you soon, Leticia.” He disappeared right after but not without sparing me a glance.***We are back to my mother's cottage in the middle of nowhere.Valeria slipped Into unconsciousness while at the pack.My mother reassured me she only needed rest, that using her powers to protect me had drained her but would not be fatal.Well, that's because she arrived in time. I would have lost her if she didn't intervene.Her assurance however doesn't ease my worry. I'm still scared. Scared that the next time can happen and my mother won't be there to
Thaddeus approaches me, a wide grin on his face. I find myself smiling back. I mean, who wouldn't when a huge man gives yóu a toothless smile." You came, your highness!" He beams," I knew you would come back. I knew you wouldn't abandon all of us." He added, an emotion fleeting across his face." All of you?" I ask and he nods" Yes, the others ànd I have been waiting for you for ages. Only I can appear because I am the guardian of the dragons. I was blessed with powers enough to leave my frozen body to fulfill my task of guarding the castle." Thaddeus explains and I nod in agreement." Actually, I don't know how I ended up here." I confess.After leaving my mother's cottage, I was roaming aimlessly, only to end up here.For some reason, being here makes me feel...calm? It feels like home, not even Midnight pack felt this homey.Perhaps it's because this is my home, the place where I was born."That's the Spirit of your kins calling you. You are our savior." Thaddeus grins.I don't k
Damian POVI have been in a good mood ever since I returned from seeing mia. I can't believe we are finally going to complete our mating bond. After everything that has happened, we are finally going tó be officially mated.I can't keep calm Abou this. Sometimes, I think this is all but a dream. Especially with how Mia was resolute a few days ago with breaking any connections between us." What made you grinning so much?" A voice sounded from the door, making me almost jump." Don't sneak up on me damn it!" I cursed, steadying my breathing.I glared at Leo, my beta who had this smile on his face that was as annoying as shit." If you weren't lost thinking about goddess knows what, you would have heard me knocking on the door." Leo shot back, taking a seat opposite me." Now, spill the beans. You left the pack without informing anyone, not even your beta and left me to deal with your nagging parents. At Least I deserve to know why you seem to be in a good mood."I rolled my eyes at his
Lena POV" What?" I shrieked, my eyes gleaming with anger." Why are yóu telling me this now?" I fired, glaring at my stupid brother.I watched as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly." I thought the King told you already? You two slept together last night." Klaus replied, his response doing nothing but making me more angrier." That bastard only knows how to fuck me. He won't tell me anything important." I hissed.Klaus flinched, probably disturbed by my vulgar words. I ignored his reaction, thinking about the problem at hand." Why would he make such a bold move at this point? It doesn't make any sense!"Attacking that dragon girl and in broad daylight? That doesn't seem like Luther's style.Something doesn't add up." Tell me everything that happened. Don't leave a single detail." I urged. I need to understand what Luther was thinking to attack that girl.From what I know, he won't be needing her until she is mated.The last time he dispatched the team was to look for a cert
Alicia POVStaring at the woman reflected in the mirror, I smile to myself.If things go according to my plan, I'll have Damian where I want him and that bitch Mia, she can go to hell for all I care.When I started going out with Damian, I didn't know that I'd end up falling in Love with him. The aim was get close to his family, ànd get access to Mia.We knew of her powers way before she even turned eighteen. Our dark magic did us the favor.I never understood why my mother thinks she is useful to us, the witches of the black coven. I mean, we are powerful enough but I know better than to question her decisions. That's not something she appreciates.A knock on the door interrupts my thoughts. Through the reflection of the mirror, I can see my mother leaning against the door." Going somewhere, Alicia?" She asks, her hands crossed across her chest." Yeah. Damian agreed to have a dinner date with me." I make my reply as short as possible to avoid giving myself out.She gives me an incr
Mia POVI stand rooted in place, not knowing what to do. I contemplate whether to match the two people sitting a few meters before me or Just storm out of this damned restaurant .Valeria realizes that I am no longer walking with her and her eyes follow mine." Fucking hell!" She cursed and the next thing I see is her yanking Alicia from her seat." Hey bitch, do yóu ever know when to stop? What are you doing here with someone's mate?" She roars.I stand transfixed, not moving. My eyes regard Damian who is already on his feet and walking towards me." What's your problem? Damian and I were having dinner!" I hear Alicia retort." Having dinner or you just wanted to seduce someone's mate?" Alicia hits back. I can see anger burning in her eyes as she holds the neckline of Alicia's dress." Mia, are you going to just stand there?" Valeria screams and I see the waiters starting to gather." Valeria, let her go." I whisper loud enough for her to hear. She seems shocked. I get it. She wasn't
Mia POV Damian's question throws me off the hook and my smile drops.Honestly, I don't like the whole idea.Mating with your fated is supposed to be something you do when you are ready and in the mood, not something to be controlled.I have always envisioned our first night together. How unique it will be but with all the plans to be put in place, that anticipation is dying off.I hate to feel like I am doing this not out of my freewill but as an obligation.That's not what I dreamt for our mating night.People surrounding us to keep us safe as we mate? It sounds.“ Are you okay with this?" I ask. I need to Know if Damian feels the same way I do about the whole mating thing.One thing I know is that the feelings between us are mutual but still…“ What do yóu mean?" he asks, looking at me with those piercing eyes that melt my soul Into a puddle.“ The whole mating ceremony. I don't want to sound selfish but this isn't exactly what I want." I explain only to get a look from Damian that
Mia POV " You didn't go into heat?" My mother asks for the second time and I give her the same answer as before,a nod of my head. She is wearing a frown on her face. I did hear that dragons go into heat after completing the mating ceremony but I didn't. I don't know if I should be glad or worried about it. Damian and I spend the last three days fucking the brains out if each other. Could that be the reason I didn't go into heat?" Leticia, maybe this is a good thing for her." The old lady Lydia comments and we turn to look at her." A good thing?" My mother repeats and Lydia nods." She has so much to accomplish. Going to heat means getting pregnant. Maybe the heavens are blessing her and helping her accomplish her mission. Being pregnant means her dragon will be restricted from shifting and the baby will weaken her powers too." She narrates. As a new dragon,there are things I don't know about the dragon race. For example,why would a baby weaken my powers?" A dragon baby feeds on he
Mia POV Damian's words pull me out of my little gloating world and I mask my expressions." I don't know what you are talking about." I reply, trying to sound as calm as possible. Damian however doesn't buy it as he pinches my waist." You did that intentionally, didn't you?" He probes and I smile. It seems like I can't hide shit from him." Alright ,you got me. But she started it herself. I just showed her that I can be a much better actress than her." I try to explain myself and Damian shakes his head, amused by my antics." Thanks to you,we don't have to endure her long and annoyed face at the ceremony." He says and we both smile.Damian leads me to his room at the pack house. His parents' house isn't part of the pack house. His mother never preferred staying with the pack members. Even with how much she tried to hide it,I could tell she loathed the omegas living in the pack house. She somehow managed to convince her husband to build a house separate from the pack house.After get
Mia POVMeeting the woman I called my mother for nearly two decades after months of being apart is supposed to be something I look forward to but not Damian's mother. She hates me to the core and would probably drop down from a heart attack after seeing me. Love can make you do many things. Coming back here was not something I planned on ever doing but here I am. After tonight's mating ritual, I'll be crowned Luna of this pack. That means I have to get used to being here from time to time. Of course,I don't plan on staying here all the time,not when I have a pending business out there and a kingdom to run.As we approach the house I grew in,I can't help the feeling of nostalgia that hits me. My mind drifts back to the moments I shared with my family before my eighteenth birthday. That's when everything changed. The mother who used to smile at me with love suddenly didn't want to see me, calling me names.Was me being mated to her son that distasteful to her? Or is it because I am not
Damian POV We spend the rest of the day in our little Haven making love and whispering unending promises. We don't talk about anything else but our plans for the future.Now that things have changed,we have to adjust some things. I am the alpha of the midnight pack. Mia on the other hand will be taking over as the Queen of the dragons and that means she will have to attend to the affairs of the dragons. There's also this whole prophecy thing which I am not clear about. All I know is that she has something big before her. That vampire King and whatever plans he has against Mia and the supernaturals is something to worry about.I know Mia is keeping some things from me. I am not going to ask her now. I don't want to ruin the beautiful moment we have.The door to the bathroom opens and Mia walks out with only a towel wrapped around her body. My wolf sits up and pays attention to her. He still wants to claim her, not that I blame him.We had been waiting for years, and now that he's got
Mia POV " I want to cum inside you." Damian's words are the most crude yet satisfying words I have heard today. A smile paints my lips and I pull away,releasing his massive cock with a loud wet pop. It bounces up and down in the air, the massive head still slick from my saliva.Damian pushes me against the mattress, spreading me wide as he takes ahold of his dick and rubs the head across my slit. "Please" I moan as I look into his eyes. Damian's hands are firmly planted on my hips, his grip is firm and strong as he uses his hands to spread me open. My legs are shaking with anticipation, waiting for the moment his dick pierces me. I want to feel him inside me so bad, stretching me and claiming every inch of my body as his own.Damian takes his time, rubbing the head back and forth across my clit before dragging the thick shaft back and forth across my pussy lips. The way the shaft rubs across my lips feels amazing. Damian knows it does, his eyes are filled with lust and passion as he
Damian POV I pull Mia in my arms once I close the door behind me,my lips going straight to hers. After leaving the dragon castle, Mia and I headed to my house in the city. I managed to purchase a house for myself where I lived when I was away from the pack.It's a different house from the one my parents gifted,a house I never brought anyone to because deep down,I bought it for Mia and I. After I found out that she was my mate before moving from the pack,I already started picturing our life together. Of course,I knew that my parents would try to make things difficult for us and separate us. It was the reason my father sent me away from the pack even if he never admitted it.It's also the reason my mother insisted on my relationship with Alicia,terming her as the perfect Luna. It's funny how after everything they did to stop us,here we are; about to make love and seal our mate bond.My tongue enters her mouth,and she kisses me back with just as much passion and longing. When I pull aw
Valeria POV I was chatting with Thaddeus after making sure that nothing suspicious was spotted at the castle when a loud roar sounded shaking the ground we stood on.“ What the hell was that?” I ask, turning around to look at Thaddeus who seemed frozen in place as his eyes gazed at the sky. After tapping him severally without any subtle change,I turn to look at the direction of his gaze and that's when I see it, a big black dragon soaring high in the sky.“ She is here. The Queen of dragons is finally here.” I hear Thaddeus murmur,his words shocking me. He has a smile on his face which screams pride.“ I didn't wait for our restoration in vain. She is here to claim our lost glory.” He continues and at this point,I think he is going crazy. Another roar and I tear my gaze off Thaddeus to look at the creature that is circling the castle.I am about to ask what is happening when I spot Damian racing towards us. He has a panicked look on his face." She is gone. Mia is gone." He spats imm
Damian POV It's been hours since Mia lost consciousness. It's almost morning now and the more time passes,the more I am getting worried.Valeria hasn't left our room and just like me,I can see she is worried too.Queen Leticia dropped to see her daughter sometime ago and left without saying a word. I don't know if that is a good thing or not. I can't help but think about everything that went wrong back at the mating ceremony.“ Do you think it was a success?” Valeria chooses that moment to distract my thoughts.I shake my head.“ Honestly,I don't know. I mean,I know nothing about dragons and their mating ceremonies. I wouldn't know if it was a success or not.” I reply and Valeria heaves a sigh.“ I hope it did. We can't have those witches learning about its failure and attacking, especially now that we are uncertain about Mia's health.” Valeria mumbles.I think she is right and I hope even with the expressions the queen and that woman gave during the mating ceremony, everything is a
Third person POV After receiving the secret message about Mia and Damian's mating ritual, Alicia storms inside her mother's room. She kicks the door open without knocking.“ You said I should stay away from your plans. How come you don't know that those two are mating right now?” Alicia snarls. Her mother regards her with a glare, clearly displeased with her behavior.“ Don't you have any manners Young Lady? How dare you barge in my room so ungracefully?” Her mother snarls in annoyance.“ Forget about manners at this point. If that damn ceremony goes through,I'll never be able to get back with Damian again.” Alicia yelled.“ That's all you care about? Are you that pathetic?” Her mother snarled in return.“How can my daughter only think of a man when we have so many important things ahead of us?” Bianca added, glaring daggers at her daughter.“ I don't fucking care what we have ahead of us. All I care about is Damian not mating with that lowlife. Isn't that what you've always wanted?
