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

    " 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

    " 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."

    Lena POV “ What did you just say?" I jump from my seat the moment I process Klaus' words. Did I hear that right? Luther sent them to intercept a man with clear instructions not to harm him?Why would Luther do that? Most importantly, why would he instruct them not to harm him and Just release him after delaying him?“ Well, he was a wolf. I didn't think much about it." Klaus replies and I fight the urge to slap his stupid face. Sometimes I wonder if his head really contains a brain.“ You never think,Klaus. What's new about that?" I retort, rolling my eyes at him." You know, If you think I am so useless, why don't you trail Luther yourself? Or better yet, why don't you find out his next move while you spread your legs for him to fuck you?” Klaus hisses, glaring at me.I glare back at him, my eyes sending a clear warning not to cross me." I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that. It's Just that sometimes you are too much. I can't tolerate it.” He confesses, looking away. Klaus knows bet

    Leticia POV I escort Lydia to the chambers specially arranged for her. Actually, this was always her room from back then.I help her to the chair and proceed to retrieve the medicine bottle. Opening it, I feed her the last remaining pill inside.After a moment of swallowing the pill, her skin color starts to return and the gray hairs on her head darken. Her breath stabilizes too.“ What just happened, Lydia? I don't understand." I voice the question that has been itching my tongue after what transpired during my daughter’s mating ritual. The crystal was supposed to take an orange color and not blue. I don't Know what to make out óf the change.In all the years I attended mating rituals, having a blue color on the crystal never happened. Is this some kind of an omen? A bad one at that?“ I wish I knew the answer to that, my queen. I have presided over many rituals and it's my first time I saw something so strange yet fascinating."Lydia answered with a thoughtful look on her face.I ca

    I almost burst out laughing when I look at my mother and see a serious look on her face. Instead, a frown mares my face.Her line just now sounded like something Damian would tell me in the privacy of our mating chambers. The kind that makes your walls clench with unfiltered need.But why does she look like she means it? We have to strip?“ Mia…” my mother drawls, annoyance written all over her face." Why should I strip?” I thought stripping comes when werewolves shift? “ Are you seriously asking that? This process is purposely being conducted so that you can shift to your dragon. You don't expect to do that all clothed, do you?" When she puts it like that, my earlier question passes off as a stupid one.“ Just the upper clothes, child. You can leave your inner ones if you are not comfortable.” Lydia offers with a smile.I nod, relieved that I don't have to get naked In Front of the people present.I'd prefer getting stark naked with Damian's cock already massaging my entrance but

    As I make my way to the mating room, Luther's words keep flashing in my mind. What does he mean by his mate waking up depending on me shifting? Is there something I don't know about my shifting?I thought all he needed was the book to awaken his dead mate? Could it be that only after shifting can I possibly be able to read the book?Perhaps I should ask my mother about this. Perhaps she has an answer to the whole thing.“ Are yóu really alright? You don't look so well." Valeria asks for the third time. True to Luther's words, he left before Valeria returned to the room. Just like him, his scent was gone too yet one look at me and Valeria asked me if everything was alright.Before she arrived, I had taken deep breaths to mask my spiraling emotions. Now, it seems I didn't do a good job at that.“ I am alright Val. Maybe Just anxious." I reply, flashing her a gentle smile.Valeria chuckles, seemingly convinced by my lie.“ What's there to be anxious about? It's Damian you are mating wit

She asks. I can tell, just like me, she wasn't confident of the whole plan.I nod my head.“ Yes. After tonight, the battle will officially begin." My mother said although we did push the mating ceremony a night before it was supposed to happen, that doesn't mean our enemies will be successfully fooled.We have to be ready for what's to come.“ Do you think he is coming?" I turn to ask Valeria. It's night already and Damian isn't here.I can't help but worry Kaiser never made it to the midnight pack.“ You said it yourself. Your guy will do anything to win the bet. He wouldn't miss seeing you disappointed if Damian doesn't

    Mia POV The look of confusion on my mother doesn't surprise me. Proposing something like this isn't something she expected. I mean, with all the customs to be followed about mating, doing it out of the blue was out óf question but here I am, proposing something as absurd as that.“ Are you out of your mind, Mia? That's insane.” My mother answers.I expected that much from her. Valeria turns to look at me with a ‘ I told you’ look.“The customs of the dragons have to be followed when a royal dragon is about to…”" The customs have to be followed for a normal mating ceremony Mom. There's nothing normal about my mating ceremony. If we wait, we are just giving our enemies the Chance to prepare themselves to attack.

    Leticia POV“ I knew you would come here so I came to meet you, for old times sake." I say and Bianca chuckles.This cave was special to us in the past. But that's it, the past.I just didn't expect Bianca to still come here. It was a gamble I made ànd I'd say luck was on my side today.“ Leticia, it's been long since we last saw each other. You've done a good job at hiding yourself all these years.” she mocks, sarcasm dripping from her words.I turn around to face her, a smile on my face." And you are still the same, Bianca. Going behind the backs of everyone and stabbing them.” I answer meaningfully.She chuckles.“ What did you expect? After you betrayed me and gave out my family in the hands of the enemy? It was only fair to strike back." She retorts with clenched fists. Bianca hates me for what I did to her family and that's something even a smile can't conceal. “ You know that's not what happened. Your family was a threat to the supernatural world. We had to stop them someho

    Bianca POV My daughter can be a fool sometimes. I mean, what was she thinking? Planning to sow discord between mates with that lousy plan of hers?I shake my head with disappointment. Now she thinks she is allowed to do anything she wants and I'm not supposed to keep tabs on her?Do I wait until she screws things up for me ànd ruin the plans I have been making for almost two decades?“ What do yóu think, Alicia?" I bit back, a smile gracing my lips. Sometimes I wonder how I birthed such a daughter. With her little brain, she wouldn't be able to survive without me for long.“ I don't appreciate you following my every move, mother." Alicia complains.“You've been messing things up. You couldn't even keep a man and that's why we are in this mess in the first place. You had him Alicia. You had Damian right eating at the palm of your hand but look at you now.

I almost scream at her. Valeria is one hell of a clean freak so seeing the róom look so disorganized and her sitting there nonchalantly, nothing adds up.“ What do yóu expect me to say? I walked to this. This is me thinking about how to skin whichever bastard did this.” I frown at her explanation. Someone broke in ànd trashed our house." Why would someone do this? Unless whoever it is was looking for something?” Damian wonders out aloud.Valeria and I turn to look at each other simultaneously." The book?” She shrieks, eyes wide." What book?” Damian àsks, looking between me and Val who shrugs, an indication she is not going to be the one to answer that.“ It's a certain book anyone seems to go crazy about." I reply, keeping my explanation as short as possible.It's not like I don't want to tell Damian
