Andrea’s POV He was basically on top of me, restraining me with his body while one of his hands held my wrist tightly and the other wrapped around my neck. We were touching each other everywhere and it didn’t help that I was entirely naked against him. If it was anyone else, I would have done the impossible to get him the fuck off me. I would have killed myself trying to pry his hands off me. But my body, my heart, and even my head betrayed me, betrayed how utterly unafraid I am at him restraining me. My head didn’t go to that dark memory that this exact same position should have triggered. My heart didn’t shiver in fear. My soul didn’t scream in fury at being forced and my bond….. My bond with him showed me how utterly disgusted he feels at the prospect of hurting me with what he was doing. He hated himself with a deepness that truly reached far into my stubbornness and made it stop resisting the obvious. He really didn’t want to do this to me if it wasn’t for me forcing his han
Andrea’s POV I stared at him wide eyed, he took me off guard and I found my eyes automatically looking down at his soft looking lips. Is he talking about what I think it is or am I getting this all wrong? What the fuck is wrong with him? Where does he get the nerve to suggest something like that! I was still breathing hard and the more I inhaled, the more my body relaxed as it got filled with his soothing mint scent, more intense now due to him taking my personal space into the next level. His eyes were also traveling between mine and my lips, up this close, the tension between us was off the charts. Our bodies wanting to eliminate every inch of space between us while our minds fighting against it because of our hatred of each other. “How about… I bite your tongue off so you don’t mention giving me something to think about again?” I bit out tightly. His lips stretched into a smile instantly and I cursed myself for lingering on those lips for more than I should have. “If you tast
Andrea’s POVI remained in my position next to the bars as I waited for him to come to me.I checked my bond with him and registered a lot of anger.I couldn’t point the source of his anger though. Was it because I was hurting myself? Because I was hurting him? Or because I messed up his game of driving me crazy by leaving me alone for a very long time and made him come down here to stop me? I was really curious to know which answer was the real reason.The door slid open and he appeared in front of me. He didn’t pause as he came inside and crouched right in front of me with a very hard look on his face, it made my chest tighten in a little bit of fear.His hand darted in my direction and against my better judgment not to allow him to see me scared, I automatically flinched away, turned my face to the side, and hugged myself tighter, bracing for a pain that is about to be imposed by someone other than me.But the pain I was
Alec’s POV“You should have allowed her to see Mila! You were supposed to be kind remember? How is this kindness exactly?” Maddox complained angrily at me.I was sitting against the headboard of my bed, watching the girl stare with her mouth gaping open at the full fridge in confusion through my phone.“Relax buddy, I have a plan. She will see her, but when the time is right not a moment before” I assured him firmly.To be honest, macaroni and cheese is not really something I would normally eat. But since it is the only thing she knows how to do, I had no choice but to agree to it.“You could have asked her to reheat some of the prepared food” Maddox said thoughtfully, trying to figure me out.“No, if she knows how to make that dish, then she must like it a lot. I wanted her to prepare something she really likes. That way, her chances of eating it would be higher. I need to get some food into h
Andrea’s POV I sat on the chair hesitantly. I didn’t want to eat. I seriously had no appetite and just the thought of putting that single bite I agreed to have in my mouth, had my stomach rolling and tightening viciously. But the deal he presented me with was too good to turn down, he knew exactly how to get me to do what he wanted. Striking that deal sure as hell delighted him even though he tried to hide the victory in his eyes from me. He thinks if I made a deal once, then I am prone to do it again if he presents me with something I cannot turn away from, but he’s wrong. Checking on Mila is the only thing that mattered to me. And if I see her now, there will be nothing left to make me agree to anything else. Even some fresh air outside won’t get me talking to him and revealing what he wants to know. “He will learn the truth eventually, you know. You won’t be able to stay locked in that cell for more than a week before you go crazy Andy, I know you too well. So might as well get
Three Days LaterRyan’s POV“Whenever you are ready, Mila. And again, you don’t have to go through with it today. You can stop at any second if you feel like you can’t take it anymore. It will probably be really painful because of how long it’s been and I don’t want you or Tina to push yourselves too far and put yourselves at risk, please” I said gently to her, My fingers aching to hold her cheeks and comfort her because I could feel how much she is stressed right now. But I have been trying to keep things casual and not freak her out for days now. I don’t want to ruin all my progress with her by doing anything to scare her especially when it comes to touching.We’ve been training everyday for the past three days twice. Once in the morning and another session in the evening; upon her request of course.While I was taken by surprise at the beginning when she revealed that she was to be the future beta o
Ryan’s POVIt started out with soft controlled whimpering.She was trying to hold back, to withstand her pain and suffer as silently as possible. It probably comes from years of abuse and pain tolerance she had to build up in order to survive.A few more minutes of whimpers turned into gasps of pain when the first bones started to break inside her with loud, aching snaps.It was exactly like the first shift. The doctor was right.Her bones would break and instead of completing the shift, they would pop back in place multiple times.Tina was having a hard time completing her shift and when she takes too much time, her healing ability would kick in and heal the break back to its place.It was excruciating to watch let alone feel.Her screams rang loudly around the forest, pure, raw and extremely heart breaking.My eyes stung with tears while my heart cracked with every bone that was breaking and rearranging.My hands ran all over her bare back, trying to support her as best as I could b
Ryan’s POVShe shook her head in denial, refusing to believe my words, or convincing herself not to believe me.I didn’t know how else I can make her believe me without a shred of a doubt.“I’m hideous” she whispered so low, I barely heard what she was too ashamed to admit out loud.A painful lump formed in my throat at her broken words.I was about to say something when she carried on, no longer struggling to break free from my hold but instead, she was hiding her face in my chest and stuttering emotionally “N… not just m..m..my eye, I’m….d…damaged on s… so…. Many levels. We don’t… d.. Deserve e.. Each… other, Ryan”I tightened my hold on her and said fiercely “Don’t say that. You are not hideous and you are not damaged, not to me. I want you just the way you are. Because you are so beautiful just the way you are and I’m willing to prove it to you. To prove to you that I will always be here for you… always and forever. Even if you can’t shift. Even if you can’t love me back in every
Another book finished and another thank you to everyone who reached this far and finished the book, I’m glad you stuck around and went through this journey with me. I hope it met your expectations and was worth your coins and bonuses. I have to admit, this was the hardest book to write until now. Not for lack of imagination, but more like lack of motivation in addition to multiple sicknesses that overtook me through the course of writing this book, it all made me spend many days not having the right mood to write and I didn’t force it because I would never write unless I was focused one hundred percent otherwise it wouldn’t be fair to my characters nor readers. But I am glad I was finally able to pull through and finish it and it all comes down to one person who kept me going. This book is dedicated to you, you made me have the energy and will to keep writing despite everything. When it felt like no one else was reading the book, you gave me everything I needed to continue writing
The Moon Goddess’s POVIf you ask me what are the best moments I enjoy watching between two mates I have paired together, I will have more than one answer for you.The moment they first meet and their wolves whisper that one word I love hearing the most, the moment they pretend they hate and loathe each other or act as if they hate the fact that they were each other’s mates or even when they get angry with me for mating them, the moment they begin to feel that tiny little spark of love but try as hell to hide it even from themselves, the moment they start with a verbal or physical angry fight and end up kissing each other heatedly, the moment they show their care for each other even when they visibly and stubbornly insist they don’t, the moment they finally accept and admit how much they are madly in love with the other, and even the small little moments they do or say something that shows me how right I was to pair them together…. Like this moment right now for example.It was three
Andrea’s POVAfter what seemed like forever, she nodded her head at him and looked down at his hand that was clamped over her mouth, asking him to remove it so she can talk.“Keep your voice down” he asked gently before removing his hand away, and got off her, giving her a little space to sit up against the wall.She had wavy, long, brown hair that she kept tied in a low pony tail. Her brown eyes were gazing at Robert uncertainly, unsure about his claim that he wouldn’t harm her even if she agrees to help.“How will you break the spell on the bracelet? Alpha King is the only one who has the key to unlock it” she said in a small, raspy voice.“Are you going to help us?” he asked pressingly before answering her earlier question.“If you promise to let me live after I uncast it. Give me your word” she said tensely.“You have my word. As soon as you uncast the spell, your freedom is yours. You can either portal out of here and go anywhere you want or you can stay until the battle is over
Andrea’s POVRobert was busying himself with transferring the food from the trolley to the small round table when he got Jude’s text.He took his phone out of his black jeans pocket and visibly stiffened in his place after reading it.He started typing after a few seconds and Jude read his reply out loud “There is no way I am doing anything to hurt her. Find another way while I feed her, she’s starving”Davina said heartily “Ethan please! Is there anyway you can…. I don’t know! Cut the feed or something! Make it look like the camera broke down. They probably won’t interrupt him just to fix it in the middle of his paid session right?”“That won’t work, a camera once broke down during one of the sessions and they…. moved us to another room instantly” Mila said nervously before lowering her head down sadly.Ryan squeezed her shoulder supportively and raised her head back up by touching her chin gently.They looked at each other without exchanging words and she nodded her head at him emot
Andrea’s POV“A man by the name of Ryan Evans told me about this place. He’s a dear friend of mine and we regularly keep in touch. Told me he bought a slave from you a while back and seemed pretty satisfied with his purchase. It tempted me to visit this place and experience it for myself” Robert said egotistically.Ryan put his arm around Mila protectively after what Robert said. She leaned into him and clutched his shirt tightly.It was the answer Alec and Ryan suggested for Robert to say. It seemed fitting considering he met him pretty recently and would most probably remember Ryan’s name more than any other name Robert might come up with to avoid any suspicion and further questioning by alpha King.Alpha King’s face split into a bright grin as he nodded his head enthusiastically “Oh yes, I remember beta Ryan. I also remember that slave he purchased, she was a long time favorite of mine. It was a little sad to part with her because she was pretty useful around here but well…beta Rya
Andrea’s POVI released a deep sigh for what felt like the thousand times in the past hour alone.I was barely holding it together but I could feel that control slowly slipping the closer we reach to the go time of the battle.Alec made sure to keep me by his side the entire day today, knowing how much I need him by my side for as long as possible before he leaves.Yesterday was a turning point for us, not just because we made love multiple times and confessed our love to each other, but also because I realized how much his love for me got me out of my darkness and gave me a new happy beginning I never thought I would be able to have before he came along. Being with him takes all my fears and pain away. Being with him makes me feel blessed, safe, and happy.That’s why I was slowly getting restless the closer it gets to his departure. I needed him like I needed air, like I needed my beating heart.I cannot lose him, not now, not ever.Everyone was ready and on alert. All the warriors f
Andrea’s POV“You have no idea how much you telling her you love her really affected her Alec” I mind linked him affectionately.It’s been two hours since our wolves officially met each other and they are still inseparable until now. They won’t let us shift back yet despite Alec having a ton of responsibilities to do and prepare for tomorrow.“She’s truly adorable, Maddox is totally smitten” Alec said lovingly.I chuckled and asked him lightly “I want to talk to him as well, don’t shift right away ok?”“He wants to meet you too. I finally got him to start saying goodbye, they are reluctant but he does understand that I have somethings that need to be done before tomorrow. I’m sorry I’m going to have to leave you on your own until dinner” he said apologetically.“Don’t worry about me I will hang out with Mila. I love you”“I love you too, Andy”I shifted back into my body while Maddox stayed in his form, gazing at me with glowing light blue eyes.I stepped closer to him, I didn’t need
Alec’s POV Her outburst took me a little by surprise but it kind of made me admire her more. Okay, yes I was trying to protect her from the scary truth, I didn’t want to make her imagine the worst case scenario or make her fears worsen for tomorrow, but she also had a point… kind of. She’s not eight anymore. She will become my Luna and she needs to learn to remain strong in the face of any threat or doom that might or might not come at us in the following years. If she falls apart, the rest of the pack will fall apart as well so she needs to keep her fears well hidden and stand strong despite everything. A part of me wanted to keep her protected and hide her from ever getting hurt or scared again, but a bigger part completely understood her. I said she isn’t weak before and I meant it. She is really strong, so strong because despite falling apart consistently in the past few days, she still picked herself up and handled everything that was thrown at her despite how hard it was to t
Alec’s POV“Say it again” I asked softly, my soul requesting to hear this sentence over and over again. I realized that I too longed for that sentence to be said to me. I wasn’t as deprived of love as she was for the past ten years, but let’s just say it’s been a rough month that had me realizing that I needed her in my life now more than ever and was thankful; despite the very horrible circumstances in which we met, that I had finally found her… My fated mate, the one chosen for me by the moon goddess. I pray she forgives me for cursing her out at first because I seriously thought she had it out for me for making this girl my mate, but now I know she was really giving me exactly who I deserve to spend the rest of my life loving and caring for.She smiled, knowing how much her admitting her feelings to me made me very delighted.“I love you so hard, Alec” she said tenderly with a bright smile, the brightest
