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
Damian POVAs I make my way to my house, all I can think of is Mia's mother's words.I have to convince Mia to mate with me.Sounds easy but I know that's going to be a hell of a task. Not when Mia is doing everything in her power to keep me away from her. She doesn't want me in her life ànd now that I actually think about it, could this be the reason?It definitely has to be.She is in danger, that she knows. Ànd that's why she pushed me away like she did.What I can't actually forgive her is thinking about mating with another man.Fucking fuck that stings like a bitch.I don't want to keep thinking about it because I'm afraid I might snap and that's the last thing I want.Pushing the door to our house, the lights flicker on.My mother stands in the middle, her expression not so pleasant.Casting a glance at her, I chose to ignore her ànd head upstairs to my róom." Where are yóu coming from?" She asks. I halt and turn to face her." What do yóu want to hear? The truth or a lie?"She
" He is here. Damian is here." Those words had my earlier nervousness coming back in tenfold.I mean, I did anticipate meeting him, Just not so soon ànd the look on Valeria's face did nothing to help the situation." Why is he here?" I felt stupid immediately the words left my mouth." To see me of course," Valeria rolled her eyes .With a sigh, I proceeded to get dressed." It's just too sudden. I wasn't prepared to meet him yet." I grumbled.I don't Know why I'm even complaining. The fact that I had to at some point face my mate was already settled so what if he came earlier?" We both Know you were never going to be ready, Mià. Him coming here saves you the trouble." Valeria said, sitting on my bed and watching me dress.She was right, as usual ànd I hated that about her." Do I look presentable?" I asked while giving myself a once over in the mirror.My white knee length summer dress with black flats looked decent enough for an unexpected meet up with my mate.Valeria looked me o
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
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?
