Damian POV Everyday that passes without seeing Mia feels like a torture. I have been hesitating to go to her even after finding her current location. Who would have thought she would move to a human City and integrate herself as one of them. She is a werewolf, her place is in the pack, by my side but I have to admit that living among humans is the safest place for her.With everything happening in the pack, frequent infiltration by vampires, I am afraid I can't keep her safe and keep the pack safe at the same time.Despite knowing that staying away is the safest choice for us, I can't stop my heart from yearning for her.It took a great deal of patience and perseverance from my side to not barge in and take her with me.But for how long will this continue? How long can we be separated? How long can I endure this torture? My wolf has been restless lately, wanting to find his mate but I can only push him to the back of my mind or ignore him altogether. It hasn't been easy for me and I
Taking a deep breath, I tiptoed to the door. I was about to push it when someone pulled me inside before slamming me against the wall harshly.I was about to protest when..."Shh! She put a finger over my lips and looked around nervously.It was so dark inside the room but I could clearly see her panicked face with my wolf abilities." What do you think you are doing here?" She hissed glaring at me. My eyes were fixed on her plump lips as they moved and before I could control myself, I slammed my lips against hers, tasting them.Her lips were soft and plump and I could feel the heat from her body as I held her in my arms, enjoying the way her curves molded perfectly against my own body.Mia tensed, probably because she didn't expect that move from me. I took advantage of her momentary shock to shove my tongue inside her mouth, caressing her insides softly."Mmm," She struggled after coming to her senses and pushed me back after a minute, her hands still fisting the front of my t-shirt
Mia POV Saying those words stung my heart like a bitch but I still said them. Although I said that I didn't blame Damian, deep down I knew that I did. Who wouldn't? He didn't defend me before his mother when she drove me away and even after leaving the pack, he never came looking for me until now.I know that his situation was not that simple but even so, I still hated him for lacking guts." You heard about it?" Damian asked, pulling away his hands.I nodded and he let out a sigh. Even after leaving the pack, I still kept tabs on everything happening. At some point, Valeria accused me of stalking Damian but to me, I preferred being informed in advance than waiting for surprises." I am sorry. I truly am," Damian said. " If there was a way I could change my parent's minds and not have the engagement, I would have..." Damian started but I cut him off." It's okay, I understand. Your parents matter alot to you. It's good to listen to them." I said, forcing a smile while my heart squee
As I make my way to Midnight pack, I can't shake off Valeria's words about Alicia. Valeria has never made casual remarks without having her suspicions which most of the time comes true.What could Alicia be hiding? And why would she pretend to be someone she isn't? It can't be Just to trap Damian,is it?What would she get from trapping Damian? To be his Luna? But she is an Alpha female herself considering that her father only has her as the next heir of the pack.Driving through the gates, the guards ask for my invitation card which I present to them. I don't know how Valeria managed to get one when she wasn't obviously invited.I still remember how she passed it to me last night." Just don't kill yourself thinking about him. Here, you can attend the engagement party and witness your mate taking another person as his bride." She had said, passing the card to me." I really don't understand why you have torture yourself over a man. With your beauty, you can have any man you want. ""
They say that enemies meet on a narrow road. Stepping inside the hall, my éyes made contact with Alicia whose smile froze upon seeing me. Her once beautiful face was now painted with a scowl as she excused herself, making her way to me.The anger and hatred on her face was unconcealable, making me scoff inwardly." Long time no see, sister-in-law?" Before Alicia could say a word, I chose to speak first. Sure enough, a look of confusion flickered in her eyes before She glared at me." What are you doing here?" She asked with gritted teeth. I managed a smile, purposely to annoy her." Why can't I be here? Today is yours and Damian's engagement party. Considering our past relationship, it's only right for me to attend." I answered swiftly and Alicia's eyes turned into slits." You know well that your presence is unwelcome here, and don't forget you're already banished from this pack and family. You don't have a place in this place so if you know what's right, You better turn around and c
I clenched my fists before relaxing them and faking a smile." What do you mean by 'I Lost'? Kaiser, whether I end up with Damian or not, that's not yet determined." I answered. Kaiser was one of the boys who pursued me relentlessly back then but I turned him down because I already had a crush on Damian.Somehow, he saw through my feelings and ridiculed me, saying that Damian and I would never end up together. Back then, I dismissed him, saying that he was being silly because Damian was my brother.Although I secretly had feelings for him, I did not let that slip out and tried to ignore those feelings instead.But that only made me fall harder for him but Kaiser managed to see through me." Mia, today is Alpha Damian's engagement with Alicia. Whether you've lost or not, isn't it evident." He sneered at me, making me grit my teeth." We shall see who will have the last laugh, Kaiser." I said and tried walking away but the guy held me back." Mia, why won't you give me a chance? I have
Something happened at the party? Then Damian's words clicked. He àsked me to leave the pack because he didn't want to see me hurt. Was that what he meant?" What happened? I left before the party could officially start." I replied. It was the truth. When I left the party was just starting without the hosts formally inviting everyone." Well your mate sure has some guts. Not only did he offend Alicia, he declared war on her pack if they dared cross him." Valeria said, her voice with a hint of amusement.Listening to her words, only worry flooded my mind. I didn't see anything funny about what happened. Was Damian nuts? If he didn't want Alicia, he could just have broken the engagement, why go to such lengths as to offend her pack." That Alicia is really a two-faced bitch.Not only did she want to get engaged to your mate, she had kept several lovers. Being exposed Infront of all those people, who will want that kind of a woman in the future." Valeria added with a chuckle." But why wou
My mother's words took me by surprise. Since it was dangerous for my identity to be exposed, why did she want me to ascend the throne?“ I Know what you are thinking, Mia. Don't worry. With you reclaiming the lost glory of the dragons,you will have the support of the remaining dragons. Those scumbags will think twice before offending the dragons. We might have gone into hiding before, but that doesn't mean we are scared of anyone.” My mother's words carried a hint of pride, but it was evident that she was still worried about something.I looked at my mother and nodded." I will think about it. I have things to take care of right now." My mother's face fell and she sighed." Just don't take too much time. "She then turned her head away, looking at the horizon." Many of our brothers and sisters died for this kingdom and we can't let their sacrifices be in vain. I sacrificed half of my powers to seal the dragon castle. With my almost nonexistent powers, I can't rule over the dragons
Leticia POV My dragon lands outside the old vampire castle and I shift back to my human form. My presence has already attracted the attention of the vampires guarding the gate. They start snarling at me, their fangs out and their hands are turning into claws."You dare trespass in our land?" One of them growls at me.I ignore his words. "Tell your master that I'm here to talk to him," I shout back at them. "Inform him that queen Leticia wants to see him." I add.The vampires look at each other for a moment and I see a flash of fear in their eyes. That's right. The name Queen Leticia is widely known throughout the land. As a royal dragon and once the leader of all supernaturals before the dragons were attacked and annihilated,I command respect. Even after years of disappearing from the supernatural world, my name still carries weight and power."Queen Leticia? Forgive us for not recognizing you. Of course, we will deliver the message to Lord Luther right away." One of the vampires say
Alicia POV I have been pondering on what Lady Leticia revealed back at the castle. As much as I want to ignore it,I can't seem to do that. I know she did that to get on my nerves and sow discord between me and my mother but I can't deny that some of her accusations made sense.To my mother,I am always that errand girl. Anytime she wants someone to do her dirty dealings, that's when I come into use. Whether it's someone she needs to silence or steal something, she always has me taking care of it.She would tell me that I am proving myself to her but as her daughter,do I have to prove how useful I am to her? The more I think about it,the more I am convinced that I am nothing but a tool by her side.And if that's true,what will happen when I eventually run out of usefulness? Will she discard me and jump to the next available person ready to do her bidding?“ Have you finally figured it out?” Someone asks from beside me and I turn around, glaring at the young dragon whom I kidnapped earl
Mia POV We gather at the dragon mausoleum to say our final goodbye to lady Lydia. My mother has been awfully quiet. It's like she is shutting herself down from the outside world." Do you think she will be okay?" Valeria asks from beside me and I shake my head. " I wish I could know the answer to that. I am worried about her." I reply. I understand that my mother is grieving from the death of Lydia,we all are but something about her silence scares me. " You think she will do something in her anger?" Valeria inquires and I nod." You don't have to be worried about her. Leticia isn't someone who is reckless otherwise she wouldn't be alive today." Thaddeus comments from besides Valeria. He glances at Damian who has been silent by my side. " I suggest you go back to your pack in the meantime. We can close our eyes to the fact that you are the reason behind everything that happened that day but she won't." Thaddeus warns Damian. I look at him as he clenches his jaw." Don't listen to him
Mia POV My mother shakes her head in disagreement but doesn't say a word. I take a deep breath and when I lift my eyes, they are filled with determination." Valeria, give the book to Alicia." I command,using my authority as the dragon queen for the first time. Although Valeria doesn't agree with my decision, she dares not go against me. She produces the book and suspends it in the air using magic.I watch as Alicia's eyes lit up after seeing the book. " Good choice, Mia. I am impressed." She says." Now that the book is here, release Damian." I demand but Alicia nods her head." You have produced the book but it's still in the arms of your sidekick. I'll only release him once I have it in my arms and verify that it's the right one." Alicia declares,her words itching me to beat some sense in her.I motion to Valeria to pass it to her,not wanting to deal with her anymore. Valeria does as instructed and pushes the book before Alicia who grabs it greedily,a sinister smile forming on he
Mia POV Alicia's voice resonates in the arena as she takes calculated steps, approaching the podium. Thaddeus draws his sword, moving to stand before me in a fighting stand.Valeria also approaches me, standing next to Thaddeus. The two of them form a shield before me.I turn to look at my mother who is wearing that serious look she always spots on,unbothered by Alicia's arrival." Still hiding in the shadows of others to protect you? I thought that you would change after shifting to your mighty dragon." Alicia mocks,a smile accompanying her challenging words." What do you want here? You are not welcomed." Alicia snarls at her but she doesn't stop until she is a few metres away from me." I would love to say that it's a pleasure to see you again, Mia but we both know that I'll be lying." Alicia admitted sending a glare my way." Then why are you here irregardless?" I ask and her snarls morph into a sinister smile." Of course I wouldn't take a risk infiltrating the castle for noth
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
