Damian POVThe look on her face told me that that was the last thing she expected to hear from me.I mean, I didn't mean to blurt it out like that or did I? Perhaps but that's not the point here.After her eyes relaxed, Mia looked away prompting me to walk to her ànd take her pretty hands in my rough ones." I know you need this. I talked to your mother, the Queen." I confessed.I didn't want us keeping secrets from each other." You did?" Her voice was low, soft and a little husky.It did things to my body. Things I hadn't felt before.I couldn't help myself so I leaned down and placed a small kiss on her forehead." She told me about the mating part, well, partially. She asked me to seduce you if need be but I don't think I have to do that. Do I love?" I whispered the last words right into her ear making her shiver." N-no, I, you don't." She stuttered.I was a little proud of my effect on her.I wanted her and by the way she looked at me, I could see she wanted me too." Your mothe
Liam sits in front of me, his casual stance infuriating. How could he be so calm, so smug, when he knew exactly who Mia was to me?"I’m warning you, Liam," I growl, my fists clenched at my sides. "Stay away from her. Mia is my mate."Instead of backing down like I expect, Liam throws his head back and laughs, the sound grating against my nerves."Your mate?" he repeats, still chuckling. "You act like that changes anything. Do you really think a bond is enough to keep her safe from what's coming?"My anger flares, the wolf inside me snarling, pushing at the surface. He wasn’t taking me seriously, and it only stoked the rage brewing in my chest. I take a step forward, letting my presence loom over him."I don’t care what you think is coming," I bite out. "She’s mine. And I’ll make sure you regret ever crossing her.” Liam’s smirk fades, replaced by something harder, colder. "Cross her? Do yóu even know why she came to me in the first place when she had you, her mate?" I stiffen, narrow
Afternoon light filters through the trees as I feel Valeria’s hand tighten around mine, her excitement spilling over into my veins like a flood.I wonder what she's up to with all the mystery.She’s dragging me through the city streets, and I can't help but laugh at her enthusiasm.“ Valeria, where exactly are yóu taking me? You've been dragging me for God knows how long." I chuckle.“Mia, trust me, you’ll love this. Just a little further,” she says, her eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief.“I’m trusting you, but where are we going?” I ask, though my feet continue to follow without hesitation.Valeria doesn’t answer, just flashes me a grin. As we turn the corner, the park comes into view, and I stop dead in my tracks. My breath catches in my throat, and for a moment, my heart beats with pure, unfiltered joy. There it is,the ferris wheel, towering against the sky, its colorful lights beckoning. I’ve always dreamed of this. I used to talk about it, my unfilled wish, with Valeria any
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
